Recovery in activity in 2018
Activity in 2017 suffered, in part due to floods, landslides, and communications infrastructure disruptions triggered by the 2016-2017 El Niño costero weather phenomenon, and partly due to the suspension of public investment in the light of the Odebrecht corruption scandal. A sharp recovery in domestic demand is expected in 2018, in a context of upheld positive economic and monetary policies. Construction work, such as the building of the gas pipeline in the south of the country, is expected to resume. Ahead of the 2019 Pan-American Games in Lima, infrastructure construction for the event is set to continue, alongside the building of a second Lima subway line and the modernisation of the Talara refinery by Petroperu. With the recovery – albeit slow – in raw material prices, mining investment is starting to pick up. In addition, a three-year plan for the rebuilding of damaged roads, bridges, housing, and schools was approved in September 2017.
Household consumption is expected to feel the benefits of the new jobs created as investment increases, as well as the slowing in inflation resulting from slower rises in food prices, and the expected slight depreciation of the Peruvian sol. The emergence of downward pressure on inflation led the central bank to lower its reference rate on two occasions (January and March 2018). Private investment should benefit from this policy, but will be affected by the increase in political uncertainty (business confidence remains low). The continued recovery in metal prices – mainly copper (29% of sales), gold (19%), hydrocarbons (6%), zinc (5%) and lead (4%) – should encourage further increases in exports, although less than those seen in 2017. Sales of seafood, fruit (grapes, avocados, pineapples, mangoes, berries, etc.), as well as fish-meal (5%) are expected to do well, except in cases of extreme climate events. The rise in imports, supported by the strength of domestic demand, is unlikely to lessen the positive contribution of net exports to growth, even though it is estimated to be slightly down from 2017's level.
Comfortable budget margins and current account deficit financed by FDI
The government is expected to continue its relaxed budget policy in 2018, with a particular focus on infrastructure, education, healthcare, access to drinking water, and sewage systems. However, the government does seem to have – at least temporarily – abandoned corporate tax cuts, with the aim of reducing the scale of the economy's informal sector and increasing fiscal revenues (23% of GDP). The authorities have also triggered the hardship clause in the budget regime. This approach is made easier thanks to the small relative size of the debt, which remains below the legal ceiling of 30%. The 1% deficit target for 2021 remains achievable.
The current account deficit will likely continue at a moderate level. The trade surplus – generated notably by metal sales expatriate worker remittances and tourist income – is set to partly offset the repatriation of profits by foreign investors and foreign transport services. This deficit is well-funded thanks to foreign investments, which enable the central bank to increase its already substantial currency reserves (around 15 months of imports), giving it the ability to intervene to prevent excess volatility in the sol. Although in decline, dollarisation still covers 45% of deposits and 30% of outstanding credit. A sharp depreciation would endanger what is otherwise a solid banking system.
Increased political uncertainty
With relations between president and parliament already being tense, the succession of cases related to the Odebrecht scandal finally led to the resignation of president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK) in March 2018. PPK, of the centre-right party, Peruanos por el Cambio, had narrowly won the Peruvian presidential elections (50.1% of the vote) in 2016 against Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former (currently imprisoned) President Alberto Fujimori of the conservative Fuerza Popular (FP) party. PPK, who was implicated in the Odebrecht scandal for receiving money when he was finance minister, narrowly escaped impeachment in December 2017. In Congress, where his party holds only 17 seats out of 130 against the FP's 77, he was saved by Kenji Fujimori, Keiko's brother, who refused to support the vote. However, the release in early March of videos showing Kenji Fujimoko buying parliamentarians' ballots to support PPK during the December vote damaged the credibility of both men. Called to resign by the parliamentarians from his own party, PKK finally resigned at the end of March 2018. Vice-President Martín Vizcarra will take over the presidency until 2021. The new government's programme, although entirely renewed, should, however, follow the path of previous one, aiming at increasing social integration and encouraging private investment (local and foreign) through the easing of administrative formalities, the labour market, and tax incentives. Particular attention is being paid to the fight against corruption, with the adoption of a new law in April 2018, and to easing tensions with Congress. Welcomed by the markets, these new measures should make it possible to reduce political uncertainty in the country, although the challenge of effectively translating these measures into an increase of economic growth remains.
Last update: April 2018
Cheque use in Peru is in decline due to the increasing preference for electronic payment for both high-value and low-value transactions. Post-dated cheques are commonly issued in Peru.
Credit transfers are used for both high-value and low value payment transactions. There is a minimum transfer amount for high-value transactions (PEN 5000 or USD 2000) for third party transfers. The majority of low-value electronic credit transfers in Peru continue to be made between accounts in the same bank, known as intrabank or "on-us" transactions.
Bills of exchange are a commonly used payment instrument for debt collections.
Debt collection
Legal proceedings
The Peruvian judicial system is structured hierarchically. The Corte Suprema (Supreme Court) is the highest court, followed by courts that specialise in civil law, criminal law, constitutional law and labour law. These sit above the Corte Suprema in each judicial district, which deal with civil and commercial law cases. The Juzgados Especiales (specialised judges) are located in major cities in the country and deal with matters concerning, among others, civil and commercial law. Following this is the professional Juzgados de Paz (peace judges), located in major cities in the country, and in charge of low economic value cases and other minor issues. Finally, Cortes de Paz (peace courts) are located in cities with lower populations, comprised of one judge who may or may not have the status of lawyer.
Amicable phase
The amicable phase in Peru is characterised by phone calls, written reminders, visits, and meetings, with the goal of settling the debt between two parties without triggering legal proceedings.
Conciliation Proceedings
Prior to judicial proceedings, Peruvian law requires the initiation of a conciliation process in order to reach a debt settlement agreement. The process constitutes two hearings, to which both parties are summoned, with the aim of reaching an agreement. If an agreement cannot be reached, the proceeding ends, and both parties have to sign a conciliation act, which is then presented at the beginning of the judicial process.
Fast-track proceedings
The below text makes reference to the Unidad de Referencia Procesal (Unit of Procedural Reference), which is a reference value according to Peruvian law: each Unidad de Referencia Procesal is 10% of the Unidad Impositiva Tributaria (UIT), which can be used in tax regulations to determine tax bases, deductions, limits of affectation and other aspects of taxes that the legislator deems appropriate. It may also be used to apply sanctions, to determine accounting obligations, register in the register of taxpayers and other formal obligations. In Peru, the UIT is set at the beginning of the year by the Economic Ministry.
Two fast-track proceedings are available in Peruvian law:
Simplified proceedings (proceso sumarisimo) concern to cases provided by Peruvian law and for cases which the value is below 100 Unidades de Referencia Procesal. Juzgados de Paz have jurisdiction for amounts between 50 and 100 Units. Defendants have five days to file a dispute after they received the notification from the judge. Within ten days, the judge organises hearing for discovery, conciliation, evidence and judgment.
According to Peruvian law, shortened proceedings (proceso Abreviado) concern cases in which the value is between 100 and 1,000 Unidades de Referencia Procesal. Juzgados de Paz have jurisdiction for amounts between 100 and 500 Units and Juzgados Civiles have jurisdiction in cases for amount above 500 Units. The defendant has ten days to file a dispute from the admission of the petition by the judge. Discovery and conciliation will be examined during one hearing. If the conciliation was not successful, the judge mentions the disputed points and evidence to be provided or updated. Within 50 days of the conciliation hearing, the judge sets up an evidence hearing.
Executive proceedings
When creditors are owed an undisputed and certain debt, they can start executive proceedings. The debtor has five days from the notification to submit his defence. The judge will render a judgment, after which each party has up to three days to file an appeal.
Ordinary proceedings
Ordinary proceedings apply to cases whose value is over 1,000 Units of Procedural Reference. The plaintiff sends a written petition to the court. The defendant can file a defence expressing the facts on which he intends to argue, within 30 days from the service of the writ. If the claim is complete (i.e. includes all the relevant information), the judge sets up a hearing for conciliation. If the parties reach an agreement, it has the same effect as a judgment. If an agreement is not reached, the judge organises a hearing within 50 days of the conciliation hearing. The proceedings end when the judge delivers his or her decision.
The length of proceedings depends mainly on the nature of the conflict, the number of parties involved, the complaints that occur, and the caseload of the judge in charge of the process. Based on these criteria, a first-instance judgment in a typical commercial litigation case may take approximately twelve to eighteen months.
Enforcement of a legal decision
A domestic judgment becomes final and enforceable once all venues for appeal have been exhausted.. The first instance judge is in charge of enforcing judgments, and will issue a writ of execution ordering the relevant party to comply with the judgment within five working days. If the order is not complied with during the five-day period, the judge must order the seizure of the debtor's assets in order to sell them at auction.
For foreign awards, creditors located in Peru must file a claim before the Superior Court located in the debtor's place of domicile. The Court will consider whether the foreign judgment is compatible with Peruvian law and any international treaties between the two countries.. If it is found to conform, the judge shall authorize the enforcement of the judgment in the Peruvian Jurisdiction.
Insolvency proceedings
Peru's insolvency law allows for involuntary or voluntary liquidation proceedings as well as for reorganization. The Instituto Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia y de la Proteccion de la Propriedad Intelectual (INDECOPI) is the specialized administrative agency that deals with insolvency proceedings.
Out-of-court proceedings: preventive proceeding
Preventive proceedings aim to provide a forum for debtors to reach a consensual restructuring agreement with their creditors. It is intended to be a fast track process that only debtors can initiate.
If creditors decide to allow their debtors to restructure, they will be asked to approve a reorganisation plan within 60 days from the decision to proceed with reorganization. Both the decision to reorganise and the organisation plan must be approved by more than 66.6% of the allowed creditor claims. During the process, creditors decide whether to allow the debtor's management, to continue operating the business, or to replace the debtor's management. Once the reorganisation plan is approved and all the pre-publication claims are paid according to their terms, then INDECOPI grants a decision declaring the formal conclusion of the reorganization proceeding.
If the creditors decide to liquidate, then a liquidator will be appointed at the Creditors' Meeting from the list registered with INDECOPI. The will be asked to approve a liquidation plan for the debtor and decide whether the debtor should be authorized to continue its business during the liquidation. Whether voluntary or involuntary, the liquidator must follow a mandatory order in the payment claims.
To conclude the liquidation process, the liquidator files a petition before the Public Registry in order to register the extinction of the company. However, if creditors remain unpaid, then the liquidator must file a petition before a civil judge to obtain a judicial bankruptcy declaration.

Memphis-based musician Amy LaVere's third solo album, "Runaway's Diary," won't be released until early next year, but the songwriter, bassist and vocalist has a few summer projects that should keep anxious fans satisfied.
LaVere was recently in Memphis to shoot a music video for "This Bridge," a single that was released this summer along with her cover of Melanie's 1970s hit song, "Brand New Key." LaVere's long-time collaborator, Rick Steff at Memphis-based Archer Records' Music-Arts Studio, produced the song.
Memphis-based musician Amy LaVere teamed up with Jonathan Pekar of Ardent Film in Memphis to create the music video for "This Bridge" earlier this summer. The video was shot by Ryan Parker, and is true to LaVere's self-described "playful, agnsty and personal style."
(Courtesy of Wade Archer)
"I wrote it about a year ago, and when we demoed it up – it came out really well," LaVere said via a phone call from New York, where she was scheduled to play at Joe's Pub in Manhattan. "But it just didn't really fit on 'Runaway's Diary,' so we released it as a single."
The song is true to LaVere's self-described "playful, agnsty and personal style," and is about forgiveness.
"Someone has wronged her and she's offering her olive branch if he comes home," she said. "I am not quite sure what inspired it."
LaVere teamed up with Jonathan Pekar of Ardent Film in Memphis to create the music video, which was shot by Ryan Parker.
"It was pretty slash, dash – and thrown together pretty quickly," LaVere said. "But it came together really well."
LaVere has been busy performing songs from "Anchors &Anvils" and "Stranger Me" on tour all summer, but she'll be back in Memphis Aug. 24 at the Young Avenue Deli for the release of "Motel Mirrors," a Memphis-based side project of LaVere, John Paul Keith and drummer Shawn Zorn.
"It's a totally different animal than my other albums," LaVere said.
"It's very timeless, classic-sounding rock and roll duets."
LaVere said the duet project will allow both musicians to focus on other solo projects and to cut back on weekly residency gigs when not touring. She met Keith through Zorn, who occasionally played with Keith.
"It came about out of financial necessity, but it's terribly inoffensive and fun," she said.
The album features three covers – Mickey & Sylvia's "Dearest," "Your Tender Loving Care" by Buck Owens and Susan Raye, and Red Foley's "As Far As I'm Concerned," which are blended with originals by Keith and a co-writer for the pair, "That Makes Two of Us."
Between now and the "Motel Mirrors" Memphis launch party, LaVere is playing in London, the Netherlands, Louisville, Nashville, Jackson, Miss., and Lafayette, Ind. She'll continue touring in September, and then will take a break from touring in October and November in Austin, Texas.
LaVere's projects don't stop and start with music. She also plays the role of a disturbed hotel maid named Loretta in "Only Child," a noir-inspired story about the complicated relationship between a mother and child.
The feature film by local writer-director Brian Pera is expected to be released this fall. The "Only Child" cast includes New York-based actress Angela Dee, and Southern native Grace Zabriski.
"Brian likes my music and said he wrote the character just for me," LaVere said. "All of these projects are rich and unique – I enjoy being able to bounce around."

May 2012 Drivelines Off-Road Truck News and RumorsPosted in Features on May 1, 2012
Diesel Grand on the Way
Finally! Chrysler announced it will sell a diesel-powered Grand Cherokee in the U.S. for the '13 model year. No details were given about the engine, though we guess it will be some version of the 3.0L V-6 common-rail turbodiesel available in other markets. (One of those overseas-spec diesel Grands is seen in this photo.) Jeep will add a third production shift to the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit to build the diesel Grands, bringing some 1,100 new jobs to the Motor City.
New Power Wagon Models (But Still No Diesel)
The Ram Power Wagon is available in two new trim levels for the '12 model year. New ST and Laramie versions bookend the current Power Wagon SLT, as the ST is a value-oriented model and the Laramie adds deluxe equipment. The ST will be recognizable by its single-tone paint, black grille, chrome bumpers, and black fender flares. The Laramie version (seen here) adds leather seats, dual-zone climate controls, a premium audio system, and a woodgrain dash. MSRP for the Power Wagon ST is $42,620 and for the Laramie $51,995.
Land Cruiser Redesign
Toyota's Land Cruiser has a new look inside and out for the '13 model year. Toyota has given the Land Cruiser a new grille and headlamps, plus underbody panels behind the front bumper that smooth its aerodynamics and help protect the engine and transmission. Inside, new electronic gear includes Entune, Toyota's new multimedia system that combines navigation, Bluetooth, and mobile apps with AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio.
The Cruiser is still powered by a 381hp 5.7L V-8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. A new Multi-Terrain Select system dials in wheel slip control to match trail conditions (more slip for sand and mud, less for rocks). Toyota's CRAWL Control returns, but now with five programmable speeds to automatically regulate engine speed and braking force.
Base price for the '13 Land Cruiser is $77,955, and it should be in Toyota showrooms when you read this.
Fresh Look for LX 570
Right after we heard about the redesigned Land Cruiser, Lexus sent word that its big SUV, the LX 570, received a freshening as well, with a new grille and headlight treatment, new 20-inch wheels, and a revised interior. The '13 LX 570 also gets the new five-speed CRAWL Control and the new multimedia system, which in the Lexus is called Enform.
This Just In
• The Range Rover Evoque was named the North American Truck of the Year for 2012 by a panel of 50 automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada. Other semifinalists for the award, which was announced at the Detroit Auto Show, were the BMW X3 and Honda CR-V. Hmm, not exactly the trucks of the year, are they?
• We've learned from Automotive News that GM plans to put eight-speed automatic transmissions in its next generation of fullsize pickups and SUVs. The move is seen as a way to get better fuel economy from the trucks, as the greater number of gears will help engines run more efficiently. GM's new fullsize trucks are expected in late 2013.
• The sales results from 2011 are in, and the Ford F-150 was, again, the bestselling vehicle in the U.S., car or truck. The Chevrolet Silverado was second and the Ram seventh. Cars filled out the rest of the top 10.
• The bright yellow Chevy pickup that Parnelli Jones, Walker Evans, and Rick Mears raced in the desert back in 1975-1976 is now on display at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inside the Harrah's auto collection in Reno, Nevada. The truck won the Parker 400, Baja 500, Mint 400, and Baja 1000, and was so successful in Class 8 that it was moved into Class 2 Open, where it defeated two-seat race vehicles and was crowned the SCORE Overall Class 2 Points Champion.
• In more Hall of Fame news, our own Rick Péwé was on hand to watch Rob MacCachren and Ron Bishop be inducted into the Hall of Fame for 2011. A silent auction raised more than $10,000 to support the organization.
Earth Watch
• Central Pennsylvania's Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) recently received a grant of $1.5 million from the state for construction of off-highway vehicle facilities, 200 miles of trails, trailhead amenities, parking, utilities, ADA access, and landscaping. Jeep Jamboree USA has already made plans to hold an event there in August.
• SEMA tells us the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA) has been exploring options for the protection of the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) trust since July 2011, along with its strategic partners AMA District 36, AMA District 37, the American Sand Association, and the California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs through the use of its registered state lobbyist, Aaron Reed and Associates. The OHMVR, established to provide accessibility to off-highway recreation and provide a variety of services and benefits to California residents and visitors, operates on an $85 million yearly budget that comes primarily from gas taxes and the sale of Green Stickers. The state borrowed $10 million in gas taxes from the budget before it reached the OHMVR trust earlier this year, according to Fred Wiley of ORBA, and the removal of the funds will continue indefinitely.
Field Finds
Any interest in old iron out there? If you poke around a bit, you never know what you might find. A buddy of ours, Doug Kielian of Auto Kraft Body & Paint in Lincoln, Nebraska, sent us photos of two of his latest field finds, a Travelall that "followed me home for a couple hundred bucks" and a Scout he rescued from a salvage yard.
"I run across so many neat potential projects when I'm out and about," he says. "I guess I go out of my way searching for them, knowing that in 20 years or so they will have all been crushed and sent overseas to make cheap toasters! So I save what I can."
Got a cool field find or a nearby yard with some vintage tin just waiting to be saved? We'd like to hear about it. Send some info and high-resolution photos to firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll share the neatest stuff.
Flying Dutchmen
Our coverage of desert racing is usually focused on the big-name teams, but a lot of racers out there gunning for glory also deserve face time in the magazine. One such team is the Flying Dutchmen—Nick, Larry, Johnny, and Michael Vanderwey—who have been desert racing for 21 years and campaign the No. 84 Trophy Truck. After a successful 2011 season, including Second Place overall at the Baja 1000 and Third overall at the Baja 500, the Dutchmen have their sights set on the SCORE Championship and an overall win in 2012.
To get there, the team plans to pay more attention to detail and prerace planning, including preparation of the truck and fine-tuning the pit strategy and crew plans to be use during the races. "Last year, except for a DNF at Laughlin, we finished every race with the leaders, just a minute or so off the overall win," says Nick. "This year we plan to shave those minutes and collect the overall win."
Their Trophy Truck is powered by an 830hp, 454ci Chevy small-block built by Dougan's Racing Engines. It is backed by a Turbo 400 automatic from by Rancho Drivetrain Engineering and uses an underdrive unit, built by Tubeworks, to help turn the 42-inch BFG Baja Proven tires on TrailReady beadlock wheels. Other sponsors and contributors to the Flying Dutchmen are KC Hilites, King Shocks, All Start Electric, and the Got Milk? campaign.
We'll keep you posted on how the Dutchmen do during the 2012 SCORE season.

Nissan Pathfinder Concept
We were excited to hear that Nissan planned to "reinvent" its Pathfinder as the "next-gen SUV" until we learned that the redo will make it a car-based crossover. Back in the day, Pathfinder won our 4x4 of the Year competition—twice. We don't expect a three-peat anytime soon.
Happy 100th, GMC!1952 Willys M38
Chevrolet made a huge deal of its 100th birthday last year with special models, TV ads, and even an Internet radio station devoted to Chevy-themed music, yet we almost missed the one press release GM issued about GMC turning 100 in 2012. Here are a few factoids from that release, a list of "10 Little Known Things about GMC."
GMC was launched in 1912 when the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company merged with two others, Reliance and Randolph. Before the merger, in August 1909, a Rapid F-406-B was the first truck to reach the 14,110-foot summit of Pikes Peak. GMC built the 1941 Futureliners, which carried mobile auto shows across the country, and it also built about 584,000 military vehicles during World War II, including the CCKW-353 6x6 Jimmy deuce-and-a-half and the amphibious Duck. Happy birthday, GMC!

Further squeezing short-seller Bill Ackman, nutrition company Herbalife (HLF) announced plans on Thursday to give Carl Icahn two board seats and allow the billionaire activist investor to boost his newly-upped stake to up to 25%.
Continue Reading Below
The news sent Herbalife soaring 6% and marks another high-profile vote of confidence in the controversial company, which Ackman has accused of being a pyramid scheme.
Icahn revealed he has boosted his stake in Herbalife to about 13.6% from below 13% previously, giving him about 14.02 million shares.
"Over its long history, Herbalife has proven its ability to increase revenues and returns, and we will work with the company to build on its results," Icahn said.
Icahn clearly doesn't buy the serious allegations made by rival Ackman, who sent Herbalife's stock plummeting 80% in December when he revealed a short position in the company.
"We conducted considerable research on Herbalife and its business before making our investment in the company, and have great respect for its board and management team, and believe in the company's great potential," Icahn said.
Icahn told Bloomberg news Ackman has presented a "great opportunity" to buy Herbalife shares at a discounted price and said the Pershing Square investor has made some "big, big" mistakes.
After being halted for the news, Herbalife was recently trading up 6.78% to $39.97.
While Herbalife remains down about 45% since setting 52-week highs of $73.00 back in April, the stock has soared about 65% from its lows of $24.24 hit in late December on the Ackman move.
Herbalife said before its annual shareholder meeting it will nominate two individuals designated by Icahn to its board of directors, giving the company 11 members.
"We are pleased to have reached this agreement and look forward to working with the Icahn representatives as members of our board of directors," Herbalife CEO Michael Johnson said in a statement. "We appreciate the Icahn Parties' shared views on the inherent value of Herbalife's operations, products and future prospects."

St Francis Inn Bed and Breakfast of St Augustine Florida
Romantic rooms & suites, private walled yard with lush gardens, balconies, whirlpool tubs, gourmet breakfast, fireplaces, quiet location in St Augustine's historic district, Inn built in 1791, free parking, near everything, antiques, temperature-controlled swimming pool... Rooms from $169 to $389
Old world charm permeates the The St Francis Inn, a historic bed and breakfast located in the nation's oldest city, St Augustine Florida. Each room and suite is distinctive, in its layout and individual decor. The walled courtyard garden is peaceful, private, and a favorite place to unwind. The B&B's gourmet full breakfasts are exceptional, and the private balconies, porches, temperature-controlled swimming pool, bicycles, and cozy living and dining rooms add to the ambiance.
Dating back to 1791, the Inn's rooms and suites combine the atmosphere of yesteryear without skimping on modern comforts. All have private baths, antiques or reproduction furniture, central heat and air-conditioning, telephones, queen or king beds, and color cable TV. Several have fireplaces and spacious whirlpool tubs. Many rooms also have a refrigerator. Our suites have queen-sized sleeper sofas in the sitting rooms. The Cottage is ideal for a family or for two couples, with two bedrooms (queen and twin beds) and two baths. In a separate building near the Inn, The 1894 House, we feature two apartment-style suites of rooms, one on each floor.
Located in the restored historic district of the nation's oldest city, this St Augustine Florida Bed and Breakfast Inn couples a romantic atmosphere with a wide array of free guest amenities. Your stay at St Francis Inn includes a gourmet buffet breakfast and specialty coffee drinks, evening social hour with complimentary beverages and tasty Inn-made treats, and nightly decadent homemade desserts. All day long we serve our special house blend coffees, iced tea, hot chocolate, and assorted teas. Specialty coffees, with a different flavor featured monthly, are individually made from 7:30am to noon. We love to celebrate the seasons, offering fun surprises like 12 Days of Christmas edible treats and Mimosas and Bloody Mary's during breakfast on holiday-stay mornings.
The Inn is located in the heart of the oldest part of the city, but sits private and serene in its own quiet corner. Narrow brick paved streets surrounding the Inn providing central access to a wide variety of restaurants, museums, galleries, antique shops, historic sites and shopping experiences. Of course, the area offers fabulous seafood, with other unique tasting adventures such as a local chocolatier, a winery, and a distillery. Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, St Augustine is a rich cultural center, with special events, quality performances, fairs, and celebrations in and around the old city and its beaches. Guests of the Inn receive complimentary admission to the Saint Augustine Lighthouse and Museum, and 50% off admission to the nearby Oldest House - one of St Augustine's finest treasures of Florida history.
Our subtropical climate is ideal, with ocean breezes making every season comfortable. You can tour the neighborhoods around St Francis Bed & Breakfast on a trolley or take a horse and buggy carriage ride. Meander St Augustine's historic district on foot and discover the mixture of cultural influences over the centuries. St Augustine's seaside Florida location makes all types of water activities readily available, including harbor cruises, fishing trips, nature tours, and boat rentals. The Inn invites guests to spend time at beautiful St Augustine Beach, providing parking, towels, beach chairs and a place to shower off. Visit popular nearby family attractions, such as Potter's Wax Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Alligator Farm, the Castillo de San Marcos, The World Golf Village, factory outlet centers, and many many others. One of the nation's largest fireworks displays is an annual Independence Day tradition on St Augustine's intracoastal bayfront.
Historic festivals fill the calendar year-round, many commemorating legendary events and presenting reenactments. Enjoy arts and craft fairs, seafood festivals, colonial celebrations, chowder debates, native American ceremonies, and torchlight parades. From November through January, Saint Augustine sparkles like a fairy land, with millions of white lights, celebrating "Nights of Lights" through the holiday season.
St Augustine's "oldest inn" is the St Francis Inn. Dating from 1791, the Inn embodies the rich history and culture of the nation's oldest city, and visitors are invited to delve into the stories that comprise its colorful past. Anna Dummett converted her family home into a lodging establishment in 1845. The inn operated under many names until 1948 when the Inn was christened "The St Francis Inn." The St Francis Inn is on the National Register of Historic Places. Over the years, the Inn has been continuously renovated and redesigned to fit the needs of today's traveler. Its lodging offerings also now include the historic Wilson House right across the street. The 1894 House, a few blocks from the Inn, offers two additional Inn accommodations, each with kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Accommodations at St Augustine Beach and on nearby Camachee Cove harbor are also available to guests through St Francis Inn. Come visit us soon!

The chapters are mostly intended as satire though - this one for example was based alot on the shenanigans of the last chapter discussion thread, hence the leadership topic for example .

I could be wrong, but I can only go purely by the people who comment - maybe lurkers read the story, but I just don't know if people don't comment/review - essentially, authors are writing stories unfortunately to brick walls, it feels.
A shame because it's not like lack of quality has gone down the last couple of years - if anything, with regards to quality, it's actually gone up I feel; It's just a shame more people can't take five seconds to even say "update!" or at least something.
Why are you asking here anyway?

I feel kind of guilty now, seems I am kind of a lurker .. But sometimes I indeed have not much to contribute with .. Neither am I that much of a forum guy, so may see things differently ..
Comeda, maybe you are confused if I understood correctly .. "The Silver Eyed Empress" is a fanfiction story based on Claymore(almost a continuation of it from some point after, but of course it differs greatly). No new season of Claymore that I know of .. Although I'd really like it
With all the Dr. Deneve stuff I see, I can imagine a modern story about Deneve having survived till now and being a psychologist for some secret agency or something .. xP
Now that I think of it, maybe it could ..

Hi there,
I am here to give some news in that the second part of the new RakiXLuciela story, "Strange Consorts: Bad for Business" is now ready.
It is below for the forum's interest
Spoiler for Strange Consorts: Bad for Business (Part 2):
Admittedly, this story will be a little longer for a practical reason rather than the two parts envisioned, but I think this would be a more effective method for the readership (if any ).
Thanks again,

Ooo hoo hoo, that was an exciting read Blue -- reading the second chapter, many things are coming to mind that show how different this story is from yours.
For one thing, the pace is alot different -- perhaps I'm mistaken and it hasn't changed at all, but I think, to make myself understandable, developments are taking place -- fast. The previous story was very slow, and, it wasn't until Luciella fought the Yoma and Dahl, did the story feel like the pace had begun to accelerate...because tensions was now thick and action-packed events were taken place.
Here though, Luciella and Raki seemed to have come to this town with a mission, a purpose; I think that is what I'm feeling...because it gives it an entirely different feeling then the previous story. That's not to say that this story isn't still big on slow build-ups and character developments which I love; too early to judge anyway.....however, to make an example, many events took place in this one single chapter -- the letter, Luciella's confrontation, Raki's confrontation....many things, and for me, it made the chapter go by very fast.
It's nothing bad; I'm implying nothing of the sort....it's just something that I noticed. The baddies in this story are the ever malevolent slave-traders, as I suspected; in their own way, since so much of slave-trading and the Org goes hand-in-hand.....messing with those one, seemingly key industry in this town, could very well have ramifications at Staff -- in other words, in her own way, Luciella is still fighting the war.
Nevertheless, even though it's too early to judge as I say, hopefully Raki and Luciella still have plenty of alone time (not like that...not that I wouldn't mind though ); again, almost entirely in the last story actually, so much of it was simply Raki and Luciella being together...in eachother's company, growing together.....it's interesting and curious that they have a 'mission' in this story, but hopefully that won't hog or interfere with their relationship -- fortunately though, they still get plenty of time together, Raki is still learning, and as we see, he's finally blossoming his self-confidence and willpower -- their is only so much he can do, but he still fights with everything he has, and Luciella backs him up when necessary
Another thing that really caught my attention is the vocabulary....Claymore has always been a medieval/modern story; in a way, I was reminded of that seeing so many words and descriptions for things you wouldn't expect in their world, but their is...your writing and vocab really helped to make a very clear picture of your story and the world within it, which is always something I enjoy.
One thing that gets my attention is still the same as before: the chapter title....now we're at Part 2....is that what it's going to be from now on? Part 3/4/5/etc? Believe me, I'm only trying to be as clear as possible Your last story never had any chapter titles, only numbers, so I'm assuming that's how it's going to be how it is with this one.
I'm also a little confused/intrigued about your words and the story being "a little bit longer"...are we talking about the story as a whole itself, this section/chapter etc? That's probably, as you can imagine, my biggest confusion -- if you don't mind, it would be easier if you could just spell out the format for how you are making the story
As always, I'm loving it...I like surprises, so I'm trying not to guess too much at what might happen; can't wait to hear from you again

Hi again Shiek,
My...thank you for that very considerate and detailed review; it is very appreciated and I am grateful for your interest, as always.
Firstly, thank you for your commentary on the pacing and speed of the narrative. I had intended to blend both Luciela and Raki with a greater mission in this story; and I am glad that it resonates so well too in the reading, without biting into the prime dynamic which remains Luciela and Raki themselves.
The tone and pace of the story established, I am also happy that the world of Braeton is as vivid as it can be here; setting a textured and contoured scenery for the duo and their exploits. Of course, regarding the presentation of the stories through the numbering, I can say that the stories given would have numbers for each chapter, while stand alone's would have their title only, if that makes sense .
When saying that the story would be longer, I was referring to a earlier post in which I thought this story would be two parts long. This proved impractical for a few reasons, thus necessitating a part three in the coming future. But I can understand your concern with chapters and parts. Hopefully, a chapter will be whole unless necessary and for the reader's good digestion of the story inside .
Thanks again,
Blue Pentacle.

Thanks for the reply
As for the chapter titles....I think I get; um, sort of......
Let's just take care of one step at a time - What is the name of the story? "Strange Consorts: Bad for Business" I presume?
If so, then we are on Chapter 2 right now....unless this is still actually the first chapter, which was so huge, that you cut it into two parts (In which "Chapter 1 Part 1/2").
If that's what it all boils down to, then that's all it should be - you've never named individual chapters before, which is why I'm assuming you aren't now (Bad for Business, i'm assuming, is the name of the sequel and not simply the name of this chapter -- because if so, then the story itself doesn't actually have a new title and is, again, 'Strange Consorts')
I'm also assuming by your words that, by the "longer" part, you are talking about the chapter and not the whole story itself....because a two or three-part story would be a very very short one by your standards
This whole thing sounds really silly in my opinion, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't confusing me -- again, just spell it out in plain english so I and others won't be confused (probably just me XD).

Hi again Shiek,
My apologies. It seems that my talent for obsfucation rises now and again when only half knowing .
Still, you have good points and I will try to clarify.
This story is presented as a successor to the first, but inside the same continuity as you know.
"Strange Consorts" is both the name of the original story and now lends that name to the series of stories about LucielaXRaki. "Bad for Business" is the title of the story within this series continuity - thus we get "Strange Consorts: Bad for Business". A layout similiarly seen in such games, for instance, as Harvest Moon and its sequels:Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Harvest Moon: A Magical Melody etc.
The story, a small collection of individual segments, is divided into chapters; and as you know some bigger chapters are divided into parts.
I hope that clears up the confusion, but feel free to ask again if it is still not clear .

Okay, happy to get that cleared up...
One final question this time -- and it's one I actually already asked: this latest chapter...is this Chapter 2? or is this Part 2 of Chapter 1....because simply writing "Part 2" implies the former which may not be totally right. I'm assuming by your words (the bit about it needing to be 'longer'), that it's the latter though -- that this is simply Part 2 of Chapter 1, and not actually Chapter 2 or, gasp, the second part of the story as a whole (your words about envisioning the story originally as a two-parter.....made me think actually that you the story originally has only having two parts, which is extremely short ).
I can't believe something so easy as this is confusing me....then again, considering how little else I'm critiquing in your story, this is actually alright when you think of it like that

Hi again, Shiek
That is entirely okay, and I am glad I could help. Though, I do understand your frustration; my own fault as I sometimes do employ that tangled system of chapters, parts etc.
Well, regarding the current story, SC: BfB, I can say that this part 2 is effectively chapter 2; not part 2 of chapter 1.
I envisioned SC: BfB as a beginning and middle, then middle and end story - essentially two chapters for what is a shorter story. But, due to certain factors, I decided to make it a three chapter (part) story to be presented here .
Also, to preclude any future troubles here, I have decided that stories will be divided up by chapters; with sub-chapters being called parts.
Thus, in a future multi-part story, we could have three chapters but also one such chapter divided into two parts or more. Admittedly, I will try to avoid the latter in that respect .
I hope that clarifies things for you, and please feel to voice any further questions too .

Mr.Bulletin-board man is back
Blue....no offense, but it looks like you are just confusing yourself :heh;;
I mean, you said i was wrong, but then here ("Also, to preclude any future troubles here, I have decided that stories will be divided up by chapters; with sub-chapters being called parts."), so whatever the case, it looks like you changed your mind to what I basically said .
Their is nothing complicated about it; it's certainly more conventional, and what you did in the last story which may have been what I was thinking on -- I think in part though, what may have thrown me off is your words that, this new story, is actually extremely short -- I mean, your words imply that you literally envisioned it as a story with a beginning, middle and end - with a chapter, now 3, dedicated to each part: beginning, middle and end; short, but longer then what you say you had in mind before - where two chapters would cover the both halves entirely.
That seems to be what you are saying anyway, if I'm not mistaken.
I think I'm done on this subject at any rate.....I could be still wrong, but I don't mind anymore - if nothing else, it will be another thing that I brought up that I pushed to the side....my biggest concern with your works is simply to enjoy the ride and that's what I'm gonna do; nevermind nitpicking about the chapter labelling .

Yes, with cape and all .
Still, yes, you do have a point and I may have gotten a little mixed up but I am happy you approve of the labeling approach.
In regards to the last issue of the story length, you would be right in that I did originally consider this as a very short story, and admittedly it does remain short too, though I initally considered this as a two part project. Upon reflection, I did decide to extend it to three, as it seemed more balanced and would allow me to tie things up without overly compacting part 2; considering that part 1 was quite short by past standards .
In all, I am glad we have, hopefully, resolved that and that you approve of the tale told, so far, but hopefully still feel free to critique things as they come .

But it now looks like they did.
Robertson, the long-bearded patriarch of the clan of Louisiana duck-call merchants, is on "hiatus" from filming episodes of the No. 1-rated cable reality show after giving a GQ magazine interview where he made anti-gay remarks and questioned the need for the civil-rights movement. GLAAD and the NAACP, among others, condemned the comments. But thousands of fans - and even Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal - have rushed to his defense, touching off the latest skirmish in the national culture war. Late Thursday, the family said it might not want to continue the show without Phil.
The scandal has turned into the kind of tempest network executives feared all along. A&E knew of Robertson's controversial views - expounded in videotaped sermons and elsewhere - before the show premiered in spring 2012, and warned him not to overshare on hot-button topics such as gay rights and race relations, according to a producer familiar with the situation. Phil and other family members also probably signed contracts containing "morals clauses" in which they promised to, among other things, avoid anything that would embarrass or bring shame to A&E or the brand. Such clauses are standard in the entertainment and sports industries.
In essence, the network was asking Phil - a man of legendary individuality, who once passed up an opportunity to sign with the NFL because it might interfere with his hunting - to be somewhat less Phil-like. But that is the kind of wobbly bargain that reality TV producers have been forced to make. If they bought the show, they were getting a volatile personality in the mix. A&E could of course have walked away - but that would have meant passing over a potential TV phenomenon, which is what the Robertsons became.
For some time, Phil Robertson held up his end of the speak-no-evil bargain. But that's over now, obviously.
Neither of two A&E spokespersons responded to three emails requesting comment Friday. In a statement earlier this week, A&E said it was "extremely disappointed" to read the GQ interview. Note, however, that the statement did not say "extremely surprised." The network knew all along about Robertson's views, because he's not shy about sharing them. Executives just hoped he wouldn't say them again when a tape recorder was turned on.
What happens to "Duck Dynasty" now is anyone's guess. The situation is a Yuletide mess engulfing numerous big companies. Wal-Mart shelves are stocked high with "Duck Dynasty" merchandise that A&E arranged through lucrative licensing deals worth $400 million this year alone, according to Forbes (the family, which earns at least $200,000 per episode for appearing in the show, takes a cut too). "Duck the Halls," their new holiday record with guest shots from Alison Krauss and Luke Bryan, is put out by Universal Music Group. And of course, A&E is a 50-50 partnership between Hearst Corp. and Disney.
So, his appearance notwithstanding, no one should assume that Phil Robertson doesn't know corporate. He just moseyed straight to the business-affairs department and ignored the boring PR part.
And now A&E is learning what it means when your business partner does that.
What do you think of the "Duck Dynasty" uproar?

Ladies and gentlemen,
For the past 6 years, this forum has conducted a semi-regular awards process to congratulate the members, moderators, and rookies who make this board such an enjoyable experience to frequent. Amongst us, we have new age stat-wizards and old school eyeball-scouts, our ages range from 16-year old sophomores to 65-year old's still going strong, we are Raiders fans, 49ers fans, WORLD CHAMPION San Francisco Giants fans, Oakland A's fans, and even a few protesting, sick-of-BS Sharks fans, our favorite eras span from the blue-collar, underdog '75 NBA Championship squad all the way down to the 2007 We Believe dream run - and everything in between - and while we may hail from a plethora of havens spanning the globe, from Australia to Serbia, New York to the Bay, one thing unites every member of this wonderful message board: we are all fans of a basketball team that makes a strong argument as the most storied franchise in the history of the game.
The Golden State Warriors continually unite us as one; throughout our depressing lows and our seemingly never-enough highs. Through this team, we express hope, wisdom, ecstasy, anguish, and intrigue. And amidst this roller-coaster ride that is our career as Warriors fans - worthy of a loyalist trophy in and of itself - we take this time, around the holiday cheer of December, to celebrate those who help us better enjoy our favorite sports team. The following is a list of award-winners, with runners-up, and total votes (with percentages) to reflect the results of the polls.
Without further ado, I present to you the winners and runners-up for our 11 categories of merit:
2012 GoldenStWarriors.com Awards!
Most Valuable Poster: 32 (73%)
Runners up: migya (9%), 8th Ave (9%), Guybrush (9%)
Well, guys, I guess the best way I can accept this award is with the undeniable acknowledgement that my posts mean absolutely nothing without my battery mates to feed off and inspire them. The 3 gentlemen who curried votes, as well as Blackfoot, GSW Hoops Fan, PAWNO, JREED, BayAreaHoopz, and all the excellent rookies we've gathered are the true MVP's because without you guys, I don't feel the need to elevate my posts to a level that I feel everyone here deserves. When I post game notes, scouting reports, and everything in between (and, as PAWNO will tell you, I post a LOT), I do so with the very best continuous effort of my ability and I make it a point not to speak confidently about subjects I haven't observed first-hand. As a couple folks have noted in their votes, there was a time where I lost my love for this place. Thankfully, a combination of new faithfuls and old friends have reinstated my zest for Warriors talk and the lack of drama this place has seen in the past year is truly unique from the time I first signed up. It is congratulatory of the members here and their great levels of respect of one another and the maturity overall. Much like our squad in Oakland, this proud establishment is once again on the rise and I can't wait to see where we've arrived at with another year under our belt from now. Thanks to everyone who voted for me and I hope I can sustain your confidence in the months to come. Here's to another great year!
Highest Quality Poster: Guybrush (55%)
Runners up: 32 (36%), migya (9%)
When it comes to a username that commands respect and attention every time he grabs the mic, Guybrush is the undeniable voice of reason amongst (what can occasionally be) an asylum of apes here . The general of this ship, Guybrush has seemingly established an unrivaled persona as astute Warriors fan and approachable forum moderator; a balance struck better than any other person to ever command the same position (I believe only TMC ever came close to the level that Guybrush has reached). He is cordial to all, uncommonly intelligent, eloquent, helpful, and just an all-around joy to converse with. The HQP's bar was set by coltraning in the early days and Guybrush certainly has done an excellent job living up to his predecessor. In fact, if there was one person my arrogant ass can outright admit will write a better acceptance speech than I'm capable of constructing, it's gonna be Guy, so I'll go ahead and let him chime in to accept his trophy for 2012 Highest Quality Poster.
Best Thread Starter: krome (73%)
Runners up: migya (9%), Stairway Man (9%), 8th Ave (9%)
Year in and year out, krome is such a reliable, essential, excellent contributor to this forum; I almost fear that we take him for granted. And then the awards section flies in and krome - EVERY year - has taken this award to the bank. Literally, the ONLY winner as Best Thread Starter in this forum's history, and undeniably so, krome is single handedly responsible for keeping the Games Section alive in this forum. In a time where several sections, like the Trades, Sports, and especially News Articles, are little more than decorations at the forum index, krome has managed to bring us together with more continually active threads than any other person in this forum's history. More so than any other winner on this list, I'd like to personally thank krome for all he does to keep this place moving and all he will do in the coming weeks without us even asking him to. The dynasty of the awards thread keeps his streak alive.
Most Entertaining Poster: PAWNO (64%)
Runners up: warriorsstepup (9%), 8th Ave (9%), Guybrush (9%), martin (9%)
An old hand of this forum from before my time, PAWNO is a refreshing voice that everyone looks forward to because he keeps things light, he's extremely quick with wit, and he's never acted with any sort of superiority complex (which is something not a lot of us can lay claim to). The Clown Prince of this forum is a king in terms of laugh-out-loud-level pics, timely responses, out-of-bounds content, and perhaps most humorous of all, PAWNO has never been above making himself the butt end of a joke ("the dreaded itch" comes to mind ). Personally, I can say that no one here has made me laugh at my computer even close to the number of times PAWNO did. Back in the day, we had a forum regular named Captain_Jack (who turned out to be a girl) that PAWNO called fat or something amidst Warrior BS, then she posted a few pics of herself at parties and just chillin and PAWNO's reactions were simply classic... I think you wrote her a minor sonnet about how sparkly and gorgeous her eyes were, bro? Right, wrong, ashy or classy, PAWNO entertains the hell out of you. Well done on another trophy, home slice.
Best Fan Award: 8th Ave (36%)
Runners up: migya (18%), PAWNO (18%), hobbes (9%), GSW Hoops Fan (9%)
This one was close, but in the end the man who wanted to abolish the award won it. 8th Ave displays a combination of passion that strikes most as unique; he's not above criticizing his squad, but he doesn't devolve into a constant complainer or belly-acher when things go south. 8th is an Oakland local who sounds genuinely proud of his boys when things drop into place. He's smart, he's a basketball guru, and he's a loyal person beyond simply this team. You don't have to agree with every word the man speaks, but you gotta respect him and nobody can deny the fandom. Our resident Aussies, migya and PAWNO, tied for second place, as there's something honorable about following this team from so far away and I just want to give a quick shout-out to those gentlemen; particularly, migya, who came in 2nd in more categories than anybody else this year. Truly a valuable contributor with whom this place would seem a little colder and darker if he weren't here to elevate the game of us all.
Most Knowledgeable Poster: 32 (36%)
Runners up: Blackfoot (28%), migya (18%), JREED (9%), Bob Fitzgerald (9%)
By far, the closest award of them all, which speaks volumes to the quality of basketball guru's that frequent this place. Ultimately, I escaped with the win (by a single vote) over Blackfoot, with migya a single vote behind him. I think this award is, again, a combination of many members. Without Blackfoot's statistical savvy and undeniable proof in numbers, I would feel no need to stress the importance of witness-based scouting and there would be no interesting threads debating the use of traditional versus new age barometers of play. I'd also like to take this moment to crow, as both Blackfoot and I had been condemned by previous regimes who couldn't stand our arrogance... but, hey bro, I suppose it ain't cocky if you're right, right BF? Thanks to all the guys who voted for me here; this is truly an honor and a privilege to be recognized amongst so may excellent Warriors fans with such vast intelligence regarding both the game and the team.
Best Signature & Avatar Award: 8th Ave (100%)
Runners up: No. Ba. Dee.
I wish I could compose my verbatum beyond a simple acknowledgement that sex sells, but I can't seem to gather my thoughts at the moment... I mean, Jesus, just look at them:
Best Moderator Award: Guybrush (46%)
Runners up: JREED (23%), hobbes (23%), Mr Crackerz (8%)
As I stated in his earlier award, Guybrush might not simply be the best moderator of the moment; he very well may be the best this place has ever seen. A frequent contributor with post quality earning him the before mentioned award, Guybrush is a pleasure to deal with in terms of moderating this forum. Spambots get the boot, quality of discussion has never been higher, threads are moved, stickied, and locked when necessary, and Guybrush acts as the ultimate ambassador to new members looking to jump into the fray. With everything this guy does being so top notch, it's extremely impressive that our tribunal of moderators, including JREED, hobbes, and Crackerz, made a vote out of this award. I can't ever remember being so comfortable with a moderating staff here; there is order without fear of the insta-ban-hammer and the staff overall comes off as friends, not internet-police. Great job to everyone on staff and kudos to Guy for nabbing another award!
Rookie-of-the-Year: Ringo (56%)
Runner up: Stairway Man (44%)
It has indeed been years since we've had such an interactive crop of rookies like Ringo and Stairway Man. Ultimately, with the arrival of Andrew Bogut came Ringo; another wonderful member hailing from Australia who knows his ball back-and-forth. Ringo has integrated into this place like a good weave and keeps the Game Threads section afloat with stirring conversation and spot-on analysis. Another close award and I suspect if these two keep up their level of convo in the coming year, we'll have another couple of candidates for MVP before long!
Best Board Moment of the Year: The 2012 NBA Draft (40%)
Already, we have a ton of evidence as to why the 2012 NBA Draft was such a joyous occasion; super-stud, Harrison Barnes, is sitting on a Slam of the Year candidate, Festus Ezeli has provided us with a young starting center, Draymond Green has been every bit the glue-guy he was billed to be... and pissing off a bunch of invading, fairy Jazz fans doesn't hurt either.
Worst Board Moment of the Year: Boo'ing Joe Lacob on Christ Mullin Night (60%)
And, as with the above moment, I think we can safely say that every idiot screaming and hissing on Chris Mullin night (and I was in the crowd, so I know how LOUD it sounded, compared to the muted version they played on TV) was absolutely, 100%, certifiably WRONG. Nice try, idiots. Hopefully, with the record being what it is, we'll have some REAL fans packing the house from now on.

Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Mate, thanks for doing this thing, you did a great job. Not like I didn't expect it to be good, but with this amount of description and time put into it...just amazing work. I hope you are now more assured that the MVP title went into the right hands.
And thanks for all of those nice words...I've let my wife read it, and I'm not sure if she would have wrote it as good as you did, lol.

Ditto, but JREED isn't getting comped for making them so I'm fine getting them whenever he's ready.
lol, sorry guys, I've been crushed at work and the holidays didn't do me any favors. I haven't forgot, it's just a matter of me sitting down in front of my home PC for and hour or so and busting them out. I've also lost a lot of time to my new addiction - Planetside 2... It's been a long time since I've fallen into a game this hard - to the point where I'm unable to sit in front of my home PC without instinctively firing it up, lol. I've posted more about it here: http://goldenstwarriors.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=10316
I'll try to get those to you guys this week, but since I'm such a flake, I can't make any promises.

Stars in Their Eyes
Sci-Fi authors of New Mexico
Perhaps it's the high-desert altitude and horizon-to-horizon skyline that allow for unadulterated, year-round stargazing. Perhaps it's the dense backdrop of scientific history that runs from Los Alamos in the north down through Sandia National Labs and off south into the Trinitite-littered ground of the first atomic bomb test at White Sands Missile Range. Maybe (just maybe) it has something to do with that infamous, oft-debated crash site outside of Roswell. Could that wayward extraterrestrial hit-and-run have left some inspirational layer of irradiated stardust buried in the hardened caliche of the New Mexico soil?

New Mexico's departed science fiction greats
In a field known for pioneering spirit, it is hard to find a better embodiment of that spirit than Jack Williamson (1908-2006), who arrived in New Mexico in 1915 aboard a covered wagon. This son of homesteaders first published in 1928 (in between hoboing trips around the U.S.) and his last work appeared in 2005, a career spanning eight decades. Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan all cite him as a major influence, but fame was no prerequisite to be welcome in the Portales home he helped design and build—Williamson was always ready to host visitors from around the world, many of them coming for the Williamson Lectureship Series, an annual event dedicated to scholarly discussions of science fiction. Among Williamson's many awards was being named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1975. Williamson is also credited with coining the terms "terraforming" and "genetic engineering," as well as instigating some of the first discussions in fiction of antimatter. His short story "With Folded Hands," later expanded into The Humanoids, introduced the idea of oppressively helpful robots with the directive "To serve and obey, and guard men from harm." The Jack Williamson Science Fiction Library, at Eastern New Mexico University, where he taught for many years, is considered one of the finest collections on the subject in the world. A lifelong traveler, Williamson nonetheless chose Portales for his home, and the small shack he built to write in as a young man still stands today on the family ranch. The next Williamson Lectureship is planned for April 2008 to coincide with Williamson's 100th birthday, details at enmu.edu.
