Fast forward to January 2012, when another legislative attack on Federal open access mandates was launched – the Research Works Act. In the charming bought-and-paid for tradition of US legislation, this was written by the Association of American Publishers (AAP), a lobbying group whose members have made large contributions to the campaigns of the two U.S. Representatives introducing the bill – a fact that I am sure had no influence whatsoever on their support. This bill makes it illegal for the government to mandate open-access; it would shut down PubMed Central (sorry, cancer patients! we’ve got revenue streams to protect!) as well as making any similar initiatives impossible. The timing of this bill was especially suspect, since it was launched a few days before the deadlines for another set of RFIs regarding open access. This odious bill launched a well-deserved internet shitstorm; our blog is relatively late to this party.


Sadly (but not surprisingly), it turns out that the ACM is a member of the AAP. One might hope that this was merely a case of the AAP doing something that some of its member organizations disagree with, but the ACM seems to like the Research Works Act just fine. You’ll like that last link; it’s one of the finest examples of disingenuous and circular reasoning I’ve seen in a while. Just to put a cherry on top of this shit sundae, it turns out that the AAP is also a supporter of SOPA (I’m now afraid to hear ACM’s own position on SOPA).


At this point, you’re most likely reading through a red veil of righteous rage. Fortunately, there are things you can do about this; some need to be done now.


If you are a researcher or someone who uses research, email responses to the two RFIs from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy concerning access to Federally-funded research (one regarding peer-reviewed scholarly publications and one regarding research data). The deadline is in just three days. Although these are US government RFIs, my understanding is that you don’t have to be a US citizen or reside in the USA to respond. Harvard’s RFI response is worth reading for reference, though it is quite long.


If you are a US Citizen, let your representatives know how you feel about this legislation. The Alliance for Taxpayer Access has the information you need to do so.


If you are an ACM member, let the ACM know how you feel about their support for this act and the ACM’s membership of the AAP; be polite! The ACM bureaucracy is complex, but as far as I can tell the most appropriate people to contact are: Alain Chesnais, ACM President (achesnais acm.org), Bernard Rous, ACM Director of Publications ([email protected]), and Cameron Wilson, ACM Director of Public Policy ([email protected]). If you are a member of some other professional organization that belongs to AAP, contact it as well.


It’s time to let the scientific publishers know that things are going to change. From now on, the ants pick the food, the ants eat the food, and the grasshoppers leave!


We’ve talked about this before, how ACM’s copyright policy stated that they, not you, control the copyright of any images you publish in their journals, proceedings, or other publications. For example, if your hometown newspaper wants to publish a story of “local boy makes good” and wish to include samples of your work, they needed to ask the ACM for permission (and pay the ACM $28 per image). Not a huge problem, but it’s a bureaucratic roadblock for a reasonable request. Researchers are usually surprised to hear they have lost this right.


While it was possible to be assertive and push to retain copyright to your images (or even article) and just grant ACM unlimited permission – certainly firms such as Pixar and Disney have done so with their content – the default was to give the ACM this copyright control.


James O’Brien brought it to our attention that this policy has been revised, and I asked Stephen Spencer (SIGGRAPH’s Director of Publications) for details. His explanation follows.


ACM has recently changed its copyright policy to include the option, under certain circumstances, of retaining


1256783  in metropolitan areas, it is possible for these larger systems to privatize due to population density, but it's ludicrus for small or rural systems to do so because they are spread out.


Johnson says he is seeing a trend emerging in the water industry. The American public wants their water systems back, he says. Thats the story were hearing now. Back in the early 90s, we saw a number of systems go private, but now there seems to be a reverse trend with the public buying their systems back. Why do you think Atlanta has regained control of their system? The assumption that private systems will bring more investment into a utility is just humorous, Johnson says. There is no reason that a private company can do as well as a public utility.


Louis Jenney, senior director of government relations for the National Association of Water Companies (NAWC), a trade association that serves the private- and investor-owned water-utility industry, disagrees with some who say public is good and private is bad. He says there are benefits for a public utility when it becomes privatized. The simple answer is private industry offers financial options and experience for local utilities. There have been utilities all across the country who have worked in partnership with private industry to solve their financial problems.


One of the biggest criticisms of public to private ventures is the issue of rising water rates. Jenney says you must look deeper to understand the issue.


What the customers of municipalities pay for their water is often hidden, he says. There is often extensive cross-subsidization between city or town general accounts and the water industry. What you are paying in your water bill doesnt necessarily reflect how much you are really paying for it because you may also be subsidizing the utility through your various taxes. Private utility rates are much more open and obvious, Jenney says. The customer knows exactly what they are paying for their water, whereas with the public utility, the cost is much more hidden. Its really an unfair comparison between the two.


Jenney says customers who oppose privatization dont understand all the issues. I think local folks are often given misleading information. The industry has opponents who are trying to limit local utilities choices, he says. Opponents want to keep the utility business in a very old-fashioned model. They are very reticent about anything new coming along. When people are opposing privatization, they are being misled about the potential benefits, challenges, and the downsides.


Privatization can take many forms. Only the most absolute form transfers full ownership of water systems to the private sector. What is much more common is to leave public ownership of water resources unaffected and only transfer some operational responsibilities for water supply or wastewater management from public to private. Privatization also does not, or should not, relieve public officials from their responsibility for environmental protection, public health and safety, or monopoly oversight.


There is also a difference between public and private ownership of water assets. Private ownership involves transferring assets to a private utility. Public ownership involves keeping the assets in the public domain, but integrating the private sector in various utility operations and activities through contract. Public or private-sector employees can perform various functions.


As an example, Table 1 lists several functions that could be assigned to employees, ranging from fully public to fully private operations. The functions can also be performed privately in one geographic area and publicly in another, such as northern and southern halves of an area.


1. Capital improvement planning and budgeting (including water conservation and wastewater reclamation issues)


In this model, water system ownership may be split between private and public shareholders in a corporate utility. The public sector usually maintains majority ownership, while private ownership is often legally restricted, for example, to 20 percent or less of total shares. Such organizations typically have a corporate structure, a managing director to guide operations, and a board of directors with overall responsibility.


A main benefit of this model is that it combines two potentially conflicting goals of water supplyprofit versus cost and service. Private owners seek to recover costs and maximize profits. Public owners may also seek to recover costs, but they are more likely to worry about affordability, water quality, equity of access, and service expansion.


In some cases, public water utilities may give private entities responsibility for operation and maintenance activities, general services contracts, or control over management of leased facilities. The public maintains ownership. Such models do not usually address new facility financing or create better access to private capital markets. They do, however, bring in managerial and operational expertise that may not be available locally.


Leasing contracts may include revenue collection responsibilities as well as operation and maintenance. Such contracts may last for


10 to 15 years or more and arrangements sometimes allow the private company to share in the revenue increases gained from better management and bill collection. Service contracts range from smaller, one-time arrangements, such as meter installation or pipeline construction to longer-term comprehensive arrangements. Service contracts tend to be effective for equipment maintenance and repair, water and sewerage networks, and pumping stations; meter installation and maintenance; service payment collection; and data processing.


The full-concession model transfers operation and management responsibility of the entire water-supply system, along with most of the risk and financing responsibility, to the private sector. To recoup heavy initial investments, concessions to private companies are usually long-term, as long as 25 to 50 years. Technical and managerial expertise may be transferred to the local municipality and community over time as local employees gain experience.


These arrangements are partial concessions that give responsibilities to private companies, but only for a portion of the water-supply system. Companies may transfer ownership to the government at the end of the contract.


For both full and partial concessions, governments and companies find that responsibilities and risks must be clearly defined because such contracts are for lengthy periods, and ultimately govern how the concession will perform. Case-by-case concession contract writing has led to vastly different outcomes. The public benefits most when the government serves as a skillful contract negotiator, but this cant always be guaranteed.


Critics say privatization leads to higher costs for customers, which may often be true. Advocates say that private companies charge the true cost of water as opposed to public utilities, which often price water artificially lower because of taxpayer subsidies. One of the most basic problems of public water systems is their practice of charging prices that are less than the real unit costs of providing water service, writes David Haarmeyer in Privatization Infrastructure: Options for Municipal Water-Supply Systems. Underpricing of municipal water services explains the inability of these systems to provide reliable water supplies and to be able to finance the investment needed to meet environmental standards. Moreover, underpricing by public water systems may explain why there are so few privately owned water systems since their (full-cost) rates are often uncompetitive with those of publicly owned facilities.


Haarmeyer suggests that prices reflecting the full costs of water are important because they inform consumers about the true value of water and thus encourage efficient use. Yet Haarmeyer says, water supply decisions have not historically linked water demand, costing, and pricing.


In addition to not pricing water services to recover cost, publicly owned water systems generally have less incentive to adopt complex rate structures that reflect demand conditions. Economist Steve Hanke notes in Privatization and Development, that private firms do have more price schedules [than publicly owned water systems] and that these private rate schedules more closely reflect cost and demand conditions than do public schedules. Advocates also say that not charging the full cost of providing water services creates a problem of not having enough capital to comply with water quality mandates.


Just mentioning the word privatization is enough to raise some water professionals blood pressure. The topic is heated, with many employees and customers alike opposed to any notion of a private company taking over their public system. Utility workers who face the risk of losing their jobs under private ownership are often the loudest critics. The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, a union that represents public workers, is strongly opposed to privatization and encourages its membership to fight local privatization efforts. Privatization is fueled by an unholy alliance of politicians, private companies, and publicity-conscious conservative think tanks, the groups notes on its Web site. In the ultra-competitive, global economy, many companies are driven by the search for new markets and higher profits.


For public officials and political candidates, privatization can be an attractive quick fix. Government officials can take credit for shrinking government by cutting public payrolls. Never mind that the cost to provide the service simply shifts to a different budget lineor the customers. They (government officials) seek to cut costs in the short-term by selecting companies that drive out unions and drive down wages and benefits. In the long run, the quality of these services suffers from the loss of skilled employees and the failure to attract qualified new workers. They think they can escape accountability when the quality and accessibility of public services decline and when costs to the public, through taxes and user fees, increase. They can also raise campaign funds from the private companies that receive lucrative government contracts or that take over public assets.


Workers and their advocates arent the only groups pushing for scrutiny of privatized utilities. Water utility customers are raising questions about proposed privatization plans due to rising rates and poor service. Munici-palities are also closely questioning the contract deals theyre being offered by private companies.


A recent report titled The New Economy of Water: the Risks and Benefits of Globalization and Privatization of Fresh Water


1256784  could demand, and you wound't know if that cap was to high or to low. In the end it would just a form of rationing and that would slow economic growth.


(1) “Are not mark up prices a function of supply and demand in the sense that cost is a function of supply and the mark up a function of demand?”


The point is that mark-up prices are not a consequence of conventional supply and demand dynamics that are used to explain prices. Without widespread flexible prices reacting to demand changes, a great deal of Austrian theory collapses.


(3) no, MT, price rigidity isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it provides a degree of stability to market systems. The point is that the fact of relative price rigidity is a serious theoretical problem for Austrian theory, whether it is in reality a good thing or bad thing.


(4) yes, nobody denies that flexprice markets exist – the point is that they are considerably less prevalent and less economically significant than Austrians think.


(5) “The feedback mechanism you envision won’t work because demand is infinite and supply is scarce it’s going to have shortages of everything unless it economizes.”


“Demand” in the sense as used above means the desire to purchase some good and money to purchase it. That is, demand = desire + ability to pay.


Since money throughout the community is finite, it follows that you claim that “demand is infinite” is untrue, since it would require infinite money means of payment. None of my points are refuted.


What you mean is probably that *potential* demand is infinite. That might be true, but – yet again – does not refute what I have said above.


Wouldn’t the price controls still have an incentive problem associated with it? The producer would not be incentivized to supply the good, or that new competitors would not enter the market at the below market price.


Yes I get that firms would not want prices changing every day. My point was that even if markets prevent prices from attaining equilibrium wouldn’t government say monetary expansion, and or stimulus creates greater disequilibrium like resources being diverted away from optimal employment to an even greater extent?


If it was a privatized firm than what you are saying would be true. However since it’s a public firm I would assume that’s its paid for by taxes and be free and or at very low cost. If that's the case then you will have a shortage problem. You would have to put in some form of arbitrary rationing with no consumer feedback.


"Wouldn’t the price controls still have an incentive problem associated with it? The producer would not be incentivized to supply the good"


When demand rises to a sufficient level by demand signals, the firm will just draw down stocks and increase capacity utilisation: of course, it will increase supply to sell more goods and increase profits.


The empirical evidence is in and this is how most firms function. E.g., in a survey of 654 UK businesses, the business people were asked: what do you do when there is a boom in demand which cannot be met from stocks or inventories?


Most UK firms said they (1) simply increase overtime of workers (as reported by 62% of firms), (2) hire more workers (12%), or (3) increase capacity (8%) to produce more output, rather than increase the price of their product.


Only 12% said they would increase the price of their product (Hall, S., Walsh, M. and A. Yates. 2000. “Are UK Companies’ Prices Sticky?,” Oxford Economic Papers 52.3: 425–446, at p. 442).


You mean extra goods and services they were willing to supply at the original price. Why do you assume they be so willing at the price below the rate they wanted to set? I would assume the survey was done with the firms setting the price on there own. Unless its a very temporary price fixing I don't see why firms would have an incentive to produce after the extra supply is gone.


(2) "Unless its a very temporary price fixing I don't see why firms would have an incentive to produce after the extra supply is gone. "


Why does a firm have an incentive to produce more goods demanded by consumers if its stocks are falling?


Okay so your saying that firms would have just as much incentive to supply widgets at the market price at $10 as they would at $5? Why would they if their are greater profit opportunities elsewhere? Doesn't seem much like a profit incentive. The survey was done with a firms with a price control or a market price?


(1) "Okay so your saying that firms would have just as much incentive to supply widgets at the market price at $10 as they would at $5? "


A thing called imperfect competition. In the real world, most firms do not just move in and out of different markets at will.


Perfect competition or even a very high degree of competition that approximates to "perfect competition" is a ludicrous idea that isn't a feature of real economies.


Are you saying that firms are missing an opportunity to maximize profits by increasing sales at a lower price? Even though they would have already done so if they thought that would maximize profit?


The whole neoclassical/Austrian/marginalist idea of the profit maximising firm as the rational form of firm behavior is nonsensical.


Does mark-up pricing make businesses less profitable, since they could (if the demand curve for their product was well behaved) increase revenue by cutting price and equating it with marginal cost ?


The answer for most firms is "no." For most firms, equating price with marginal cost is a recipe for bankruptcy, as even Keynes noted this in the "General Theory":


“Indeed, it is rare for anyone but an economist to suppose that price is predominantly governed by marginal cost. Most business men are surprised by the suggestion that it is a close calculation of short-period marginal cost or of marginal revenue which should dominate their price policies. They maintain that such a policy would rapidly land in bankruptcy anyone who practised it.”


Firms need to recover total average costs to avoid losses, so they cannot charge a price below total average unit costs. Even when price is at total average unit costs, they make no profit.


“A thing called imperfect competition. In the real world, most firms do not just move in and out of different markets at will”.


I would imagine many if not most markets are imperfect but putting a price control just creates more dis incentive to enter the market and make it less imperfect. Its harder to compete if you raise the barriers to entry. I agree that most firms don’t instantaneously enter and leave markets. If however you have a structural price control then you have a structural dis incentive.


“Perfect competition or even a very high degree of competition that approximates to "perfect competition" is a ludicrous idea that isn't a feature of real economies”.


I concur but if the state does not have perfect information either than the lesser of the evils is the market.


(1) The price charged by the private business (not subject to government price control) is the same before and after the change in demand in my example, yes.


No, price controls are not necessarily a bad policy at all. They might or might not be -- but it depends on the circumstances. The point is that the *general* Austrian/marginalist argument against them is unsound.


(2) "I would imagine many if not most markets are imperfect but putting a price control just creates more dis incentive to enter the market and make it less imperfect. "


In the real world, perfect competition is an utterly unrealistic and irrelevant state, and most markets just do not behave as you think they do. Therefore this sort of argument is also just irrelevant.


You are complaining that the world is being forced away from an absurd and unrealistic state, which just is not the standard or model for how it should behave anyway.


(3) I concur but if the state does not have perfect information either than the lesser of the evils is the market.


"Does mark-up pricing make businesses less profitable, since they could (if the demand curve for their product was well behaved)".


If its a market price the you are correct, if its a price control then i don't think the demand will be well behaved, and that would make it less profitable.


“No, price controls are not necessarily a bad policy at all. They might or might not be -- but it depends on the circumstances”.


I don’t know why you keep referring to perfect competition. Yes I agree a one day price control won’t do anything. As for monopolistic competition do you agree that if you put in a price control squeezing profit that it would raise barriers to entry? What examples do you have of price controls working?


Most of them worked and worked well, precisely because many private sector prices are already "administered" by private businesses and based on costs:


Why world war 2? I don’t doubt its really easy to put a price control on an administered price, especially when you know demand is going to go up. That would be the problem if the price needed to go up because of demand and the price control would create less incentive to supply. Why do you think we had rationing and low standards of living?


I know that during the Great Depression the NRA had price controls and we had tremendous unemployment. Maybe you’d argue it was a failure of stimulus. Even if that’s the case the obvious thing to do would have been to eliminate the NRA and lower unemployment with or without stimulus.

This FAQ is written with the assumption that the reader has little to moderate knowledge of the Heavy Metal/Rock scene.


Sol Badguy: Sol's favorite band is Queen, a group who came out around the 70's. Sol's theme, "Keep Yourself Alive", is even titled after a song by Queen, though some of the notes themselve are actually taken from another Queen song titled "Stone Cold Crazy". Freddy "Mercury" also had a solo album titled "Mr. Badguy" obviously Sol's last name. Incidentally, this happens to be Daisuke Ishiwatari's favortie band as well (there are even rumors that Sol is meant to be a self projection of himself, heck Daisuke even does Sol's voice). Almost everyone knows who Queen is, even if they aren't familiar with the group itself. They brought us "We are the Champions", "We Will Rock You" (Note, "Rock You" is even etched onto Sol's headplate), and "Bohemian Rhapsody". But for some reson, I can't picture Sol listening to the latter.... Scaramouch! Scaramouch! Will you do the Fandango.....?!! No, I don't think Sol can...


Sol also has some other references besides those to Queen. His Instant Kill move is called "Napalm Death", which would come from the grindcore group by the same name.


Napalm Death was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1981. They mixed the influences of Punk and Trash Metal to create an entirely new form of music that would become "Grindcore" (one of the genres the average person off the street will undoubtedly hear in their head when you mention "Punk" or even "metal"). The extremely fast tempo of the music causes the guitars to meld into an almost "white noise" effect, and the vocals (The lyrics often deal with social or political injustices) often come off sounding as if the vocalist is barking or growling (or as I like to call it, the "evil monster voice").


in their debut Album, side one featured Nick Bullen (bass, vocals), Mick Harris (drums), and Justin Broadrick (guitar), but on side two they had switched to Jim Whitely (bass), Lee Dorrian (vocals), and Bill Steer (guitar). During their earlier years, their style of music was subject to miscomprehension, but by about 1989, after their tour in Japan and during their European Grindcrusher tour, the genre had gained a wide acceptance among most metal fans.


By 1992, Mitch Harris, the last original member of the band, left and was replaced by Danny Herrara.


Ky Kiske: Ky is basically a huge mish-mash of allusions. The first, being the most notable, is his very name. His last name "Kiske" is taken from Michael Kiske, and his first name, "Ky", is taken from Kai Hansen, both of the band Helloween.


Helloween was founded in 1984 in Hamburg, Germany. Their original lineup consisted of Markus Grosskopf (bass), Kai Hansen ( vocals, and guitar), Michael Weikath (guitar), and Ingo Schwichenburg (drums). Michael Kiske was later hired as a vocalist/frontman. However, in 1989, Kai left the group to form "Gamma Ray", and was replaced by Roland Grapow.


Due to some issues with their former record label, they eventually signed with EMI Records, and in 1990 released "Pink Bubbles Go Ape". Michael Kiske and Ingo Schwichenberg eventually left (Kiske went solo and released an album titled "Instant Charity" in 1996), and were replaced by Ulli Kusch (drums), and Andi Deris (vocals).


"Master of the Rings", one of Helloween's later albums, was one of their most popular, and topped Japanese charts for some time.


Ky's second reference comes from his super called "Ride the Lightning", which is a song by the metal group, Metallica (on the album "Ride the Lightning", released in 1987). Metallica is one of the most well known heavy metal bands. They were formed in California in 1981 by Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield. David Mustaine was in the band, but he later left to form Megadeth. He was replaced by Kirk Hammett. One of the tragedies to strike the group was the death of their bassist, Cliff Burton, when their tour bus overturned in Sweden on September 27, 1986. Someone online told me he was chopped in half, but I don't think so. The group later recruited Jason Newstand of Flotsom And Jetsom as his replacement. Today Metallica still remains one of the most popular bands, even though some accuse them of selling out recently.


Ky's theme is titled "Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)", this sounds suspiciously like a re-worded title of an Iron Maiden song called "Be Quick or Be Dead". The song was on the album, "Fear of the Dark", and was released on May 12, 1992. The Lyrics are as follows:


Ky also has an Instant Kill attack called "Rising Force". There was an album by this title put out by a man named Yngwie Malmsteen (born Lars Johann Yngwie Lannerback).


At an early age, Yngwie's mother tried to get him to learn to play an instrument, but he showed absolutely no interest in music. It wasn't untill 1970 when he saw a special about the death of Jimi Hendrix on TV that his interest was sparked.


Mixing influences from both classical and rock he came out with his first solo album, "Rising Force".


Axl Low: Axl is named for Axl Rose of the band Guns N' Roses (he's even modeled after him I hear, ever seen Axl wear a bandanna?), one of the most controversial bands of the late 80s as many of the members had either alcohol or drug addictions, or regularly made public scenes of themselves. Axl himself is a notorious womanizer. (He once pointed out that it's not a good idea to "include your wife or girlfriend in a musicvideo because if you break up with them-and you will-they'll still be in the video"). Some of G N'R's most recognizable songs are 'Welcome to the Jungle','Paradise City', and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (which Axl wrote about his wife/girlfriend, Erin Everly--who also appeared in the music video--prompting him to crack the earlier mentioned quote). In the mid 90s Axl and Slash were continually at odds with each other, and Axl seemed to depart from the group. But in 1997 Axl purchased the rights to the Guns N'Roses name, and Robin Finck was later hired to replace Slash after he left the group.


Axl could also have a bunch of misc. references, such as an allusion to Napalm Death (see under Sol for band info), as the sign in his GGX stage reads "Napalm" (Napalm Death is from England). Thanks to RickNapalm for pointing this out.


Axl's last name could also be another allusion, as Testament released an album/ song in 1994 titled "Low".


Plus, the title of Axl's GGX theme, "Make Oneself" sounds like a re-worded version of "Make Youself", an album released in 1999 by the band, Incubus. Incubus was formed in 1991 and later signed with Immortal Records. They released a few albums, but "Make Yourself" eventually became the album that first got the group attention.


While on the topic of themes, Axl's GG theme, "March of the Wicked King" seems to be a re-worded version of Queen's "March of the Black Queen", however, I've been told that the actual riff are taken from Guns N' Roses' album, "Appetite For Destruction". More specifically the song "You're Crazy".


May: May's name could possibly come from Brian May, who was a member of Queen. This wouldn't be too surprising considering Daisuke's a Queen fan. See also Queen under Sol


Millia Rage: Millia is another collection of references. Her name comes from the group 'Meliah Rage', and she has attacks called 'Winger' (in which her hair turns into a pair of wings, and she flies upward, then dives at her opponent) and 'Iron Maiden' (a super in the first Guilty Gear that has been modified into a "Destroy" move for Guilty Gear X where her hair turns into giant tendrils that destroy her opponent). Her theme ("Writhe in Pain") could also be a reference to an obscure rock/pop group called Impel, who had an album titled "Writhe in Pain" (released on 2/17/1994).


"Meliah Rage" was a Boston born hard rock band formed by Anthony Nichols in 1985. The name comes from the Meliah indian tribe, and their usage of opium before battles (Meliah Rage...Get it?). Due to then recent lawsuits by parents against rockers such as Ozzy and Judas Priest (claiming that a few of their songs encouraged their children to suicide), their debute album, "Kill to Survive", was held back, and had it's title track removed, however, it was included in the album "

My CD is also stuck, it plays and everything, but I can't take it out. My roommate says the same thing happened several times in his Aurora and it's not a difficult fix, supposedly it's just taking out the head unit and then manually ejecting or removing the CD


I haven't tried the fuse thing, but I will if I get around to it this weekend. With mine, when you hit the CD button on the radio to play it, the AM/FM station goes off, the CD player makes clicking and spinning sounds for a few seconds, then "Check CD" comes up on the display and the radio begins playing again.


My 05 GMC Envoy has the same issues for months now...none of the cds eject but it says no CDs in there...and I tried the fuse...no luck...its a lease and I have to fix it before returning the care...any clues??!!

Our Story Bridal is New York City’s only bridal consignment boutique. They sell designer wedding dresses at steep discounts.


“Don’t wait for perfect! When starting a new business, we have learned that there is only so much you can predict with the information you have. The only way to really know if something is going to work is by testing it in a quick and scrappy way.


“We started our business by gathering 40 dresses from around the city and hosting a pop-up at a friend’s showroom. During the very first pop-up, we only had a few brides stop by and we learned from that and quickly adapted our marketing and processes. By our fourth pop-up, we had a waiting list of over 300 brides. Our business needs have evolved as we grow, so test things with the information you have available but rest assure, it will not be perfect, but you will be one step closer to achieving your goal.”


Cousins Maine Lobster runs food trucks and restaurants across the globe, where they sell lobster that is sustainably sourced directly from Maine.


“It took us a long time to understand that. The first week prior to opening, I started sending out tweets to our 200 followers, and it would be a photo of Jim and I and my grandfather on the rocks in Maine eating lobster. I didn’t know at the time that this was our story; I just did it because I said, ‘Hey, We’re from Maine. We’re cousins. Let me paint you a picture.’


“But after a couple years, we really understood that we are a family, that this is a family business, that these are family recipes. And that should be shared and highlighted more.”

1256789  No Trace” – In Zen paintings according to the book, turtles symbolise the practice of leaving no traces, because they sweep the sand with their tails as they creep along, wiping out their footprints. Instead of a written sign therefore, you could use a picture of a turtle by way of a reminder!


Right I’m going jump in here as I feel strangely resistant towards doing this practice; despite having teenage children who I am constantly exhorting (in a rather judgemental way) to tidy up after themselves, to no avail I might add, I can also be extremely forgetful and lazy in this arena!


So I’ve decided to go with kitchen….now let me see…no mugs in the sink, no tea bags in the mugs, put away the saucepans….the marmalade back in cupboard…milk in fridge…coat NOT left over back of chair…kettle refilled with water!


Well – this is a really interesting one for me. I also feel very resistant to it. My issue? These days I usually live alone with my small dog, but this week one of my adult children is staying whilst in transit to a new job and new flat in Brighton. I choose to live tidily. I find it helps keep my head clear. My daughter lives happily in what, to me, is total chaos – If I should get an accidental glimpse ito her room it makes me feel quite unsettled (mind you – it’s not the full-on Tracy Emmin version it was in her late teens). She is a treasure and is sensitive to my needs and so does her best in the ‘common parts’ of the house. And I am a treasure and sensitive to her needs and so happy to plump up a sofa cushion/wash up the odd coffee mug. But could I just leave things un-plumped, un-washed? Well, I could, but I really, really don’t want to. So I’ve gone for the bathroom option. I can probably cope with a bottle of shampoo left on the window ledge. It really did interest me, the way that I didn’t want to engage with this practice at all. I have created a way of life that I like; that works well for me and mine … ‘resentful’ might not be too strong a word for my reaction. And suspicion about the practices to come. Where did mindful ‘curiosity’ get to??!


It really does throw up some interesting issues this practice, plumping up the sofa cushions or washing up the coffee mugs of our less meticulous children….. because sometimes it’s just easier to do it myself methinks. On reflection this low grade enabling, although creating extra work for me, is also an aspect of my laziness in a sense, because I do not have the patience to train them properly or energy to maintain the boundary, rule, or whatever you like to call it.


So even tidying up after others can be seen as leaving a trace – a tidier trace, but a trace nevertheless.


Absolutely! – and that’s the issue for me. Leaving no trace means not impacting on the environment, either by adding dirty mugs, or by removing them! And that’s why I was dreading it so much. I knew that, for better or worse, I had done my parenting (as far as tidyness training goes) and that my adult daughter and I have different ideas about what tidy means. I guessed I would be itching to tidy … how would I resist it? Luckily (?) for me, the picture of the turtle on the bathroom door has meant I haven’t had to resist tidying it, except after myself (easy). So, so far, the practice has really been of interest to me because the idea of finding it difficult to comply really bothered me. And yet, I wanted to ‘do the task properly’. There I was, projecting forward into thoughts/ideas about what might happen – and yet Mindfulness teaches us to be in the present. So I had a lot of ‘noticing and returning to the present moment’ to do – not with the practice itself, but with ideas about the practice… Crackers! Then I went on to notice how much I was beating myself up about my approach to the whole thing. Bonkers! But it’s been interesting in a slightly tortuous way. I look forward to reading about others’ experiences. I’m glad to see James is still up to typing – and not slumped, exhausted, under a damp J Cloth somewhere :-)


Hello James and Melissa and everyone else! I am also trying to follow these weekly exercises. Using my left hand where I normally use my right hand always brings me back to the present so I will continue doing it. This week’s exercise didn’t seem so challenging for me since I always like to have a tidy home. I decided to go for the kitchen and I notice that I do not always tidy up! When I come in to the kitchen and see the coffee mug still on the bench, I try to smile and be gentle to myself. I try to be happy that at least I noticed it and also try to be present in the moment when I put the mug down into the dishwasher. A good exercise since I have a tendency of being a bit unforgiving towards myself. I have no children but I have three indoor cats. They normally don’t tidy up after playing ;-) so I am also trying to get used to just watching their toys lying around a bit everywhere without judging it, just noticing. And Melissa, I always want to be a “good student” and do what I am supposed to do. It is so relieving to understand that these exercises are good whether you “do the task properly” or not. It is like you always have a second chance :-)!


This has been a bit of a strange one to engage with. I too have struggled a bit over the question of whether or not to tidy up after other people, so it’s good to read other people’s thoughts on that one.


One issue this has thrown up for me is that of seeing, and being aware of how I find things. Whether it is noticing just what angle the soap was at, so I can put it back at the same angle, or noticing what I have left out, so I can tidy it away, or noticing what someone else has left out, and then I can make a decision. Whether I tidy up for them or not is not the biggest issue for me. Simply noticing it, and then making a decision, has brought me into the present moment.


So mindfulness, I think, involves seeing how things actually are. And whatever I may or may not have achieved this week, it does seem to have helped make me more aware of my surroundings.


This is certainly a thought provoking practice. For me, it sheds light on the habitual nature of my attachments. The book (How to train a Wild Elephant) speaks of the satisfaction gained from ‘putting things in order’ and ‘cleaning up the space and things around us’, but as we have seen, even this activity can cause disquiet when we become overly reliant on it. The invitation with mindfulness practice is to hold these attachments lightly and when we become aware of them we can exercise choice over what to do and also experiment and explore our reactions by doing something different. In itself, the choice is not so very important, rather it is how we relate to the choice once we have made it, that is key.


Alas and woe, I was away, unconnected to the inter-webby-whotnot for the past week-and-a-tad. So, no deeply meaningful input from me on tasks one and two.


The third exercise is due today, and I’ll simply cram all three into a Super Mindful Week and see what the heck happens. :)


The first venue was pleasant enough, but after a handful of days it became blindingly obvious that one of the owners was in a more turbulent mental state than I was! Also, way too much reliance on pushing the sort of hackneyed drool promoted by bull-poop merchants like Wayne Dyer.


Although I had a drink problem in the past, I have been stone-cold sober for almost 6 years: booze is, quite simply, not something I even think about anymore. Even so, it was interesting to find myself in a delightfully welcoming place with a dozen or so junkies and drinkers all seeking a way past their addictions.


And any preconceptions you may have about these centres and theirs guests would probably be very wide of the mark. I could not have wished for more pleasant company. And yes, the centre handles the ultra-stressed, like yours truly.


I learned more from the guests than the therapists, but the end result is a somewhat better informed me. And yes, I still have stress levels that are too high. This is very much a starting point, I know that.


On the other hand, I do, occasionally, experience moments of near-calm. And very welcome they are, too.


I still believe there is a gap in the market: someone, somewhere can emulate the aims of the first venue (a welcoming home, one guest, good therapy) minus the cobblers and underlying “issues” of that place’s owners. A mindfulness-based version of it, preferably. I know I’d buy into it like a shot!


That’s quite a couple of weeks Chris… no preconceptions here, I’ve been acquainted with both over the years :)

1256790  floors, like most public floors, are covered in germs, including bacteria associated with the common cold, influenza, E. coli, and listeria. Sharp objects are also a danger, and open sores make feet more susceptible to picking up bacteria. However, as William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist, told the Wall Street Journal, foot fungus only really results from dampness—if an airport security line is wet, that raises a whole other list of concerns—and the risk for other infections remains low for healthy travelers. It's just a floor, after all, albeit a much-used one.


As far as common decency goes, walking barefoot through a security line is pretty unappealing to other travelers. (The same goes for taking your shoes off while seated on the plane—unacceptable.) Feet, and the odor they can carry, should remain private. And in the summer months, as the heat rises and flip-flops become semi-acceptable, airport travel delays peak, rivaling those of the winter months, according to Quartz. There is all the more time to stand in TSA lines, bare feet shuffling across the well-traveled floor and brushing up with all kinds of germs.


And while Rihanna, of course, is probably impervious to such mundane concerns as germs and travel decorum, not every traveler is Rihanna. So please, cover your feet.<|endoftext|>This post was originally published on this sitePhineas Gage was a railroad construction worker from New Hampshire and is known for his incredible survival after […]

Although it’s not the current Freedom premises, it might be worth a little look at the background of Ossulston Street, London, which runs down the western flank of the British Library. The building at number 127 is mentioned by Donald Rooum as the first long-term premises run by Freedom Press after it was kicked out of the Freethought Publishing Company’s offices at Bouverie Street in 1888. He notes:


In 1895, Charlotte Wilson resigned [as editor] and was replaced as publisher by Alfred Marsh, a violinist. In 1898, Freedom acquired its own printing facilities. The nieces and nephew of the artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti had been printing their own paper, The Torch, a journal of anarchist communism at 127 Ossulston Street, near Kings Cross, since 1885. In 1898 they decided to cease publication and arranged for the Freedom group to take over the premises. The Rossettis’ printing equipment was bought and donated to Freedom by two sympathisers. Freedom Press stayed in Ossulston Street for the next 30 years.


The “nieces and nephew” were Olivia, Helen and Arthur Rossetti, referenced as also being cousins to Ford Maddox Ford, whose stories are said to have helped inspire Joseph Conrad’s famous farce The Secret Agent.


While teenagers (they were 16, 11, and 14 respectively) they had founded The Torch in their father William’s basement at 3 St Edmund’s Terrace in 1891, which led to the extraordinary spectacle of the home of the Secretary of the Inland Revenue — William’s job — being under constant surveillance by “English detectives, French police spies and Russian agents provocateurs” as Ford put it.


In 1892 the teenage trio acquired a derelict printing press, taken from the loft of the old Commonweal offices at Clerkenwell Road, and by 1893 were corresponding with well-known members of the British anarchist movement, including Thomas Cantwell and H B Samuels of Commonweal, Dr Fausset Macdonald (a middle-class militant under near-permanent watch by Scotland Yard), as well as international figures such as Peter Kropotkin (already in London at that time and writing for Freedom, then publishing out of 61 St Augustine’s Road) and Errico Malatesta. However their father expelled them from the basement that year and the Press was removed, first to Goodge Street and then to Ossulston. Olivia would later relate to Ford that Goodge Street was:


A locality as grim as its name. There it became a sort of club where the hangers-on of the extreme left idled away an immense amount of time while their infant hosts and hostesses were extremely active over their forms. I myself did not like it much and only went there I think twice — to see about the printing of my first poem.


After an eight-month break in publication, due to the Rossettis�

When you own a Jeep, chances are you will find yourself off-pavement at some point in your 'Jeeping' career - whether it is something planned or just a spur of the moment thing. And when that happens, there is always the possibility of getting stuck somewhere. So to prepare for that possibility, it is always a good idea to include recovery items - whether self or assisted - on your off-pavement adventures.


Assisted recovery items simply mean products that will help someone pull you free of whatever problematic situation you encounter. Things like tow or snatch straps that can attach to another vehicle with D-rings or tow attachment points. Generally, snatch straps work best to yank a vehicle out of a stuck situation as the strap is flexible, unlike tow straps which are best to pull a non-functioning vehicle off the trail. Many include both in their vehicles so they can be prepared for whatever situation arises.


Self-recovery products are designed, surprise, to help pull yourself out of trouble when it occurs and a winch is the ultimate accessory to make that happen. In fact, most off-road parks and clubs require all vehicles to have a winch installed before they can ride. But choosing the right winch can get a little complicated as there are different pulling capacities, line types and speeds, and solenoid mountings

The courses are designed for students in the 5th, 6th, or 7th grade who have taken our entrance exam (or in preparation for the entrance exam) or have been admitted but feel they may be well-served with some additional preparation, whether coming in as a 7th, 8th, or 9th grader. Many of our students (and their parents) have found value in the program and felt that it aided them in not only Math and Language Arts, but also with study skills.


This bootcamp is not only a good opportunity to determine your child’s potential (a written evaluation will be given out at the end), but also a chance for your child to meet future classmates and become familiar with the school. So although your child might be strong in the following areas, extra time at school will give them a glimpse of the homework to come and get them acquainted with CLS. Additionally, You do not have to be enrolled at CLS to take this course. Some families use this course to determine if their child is ready to advance to CLS. The evaluation of your child’s work in the class will be sent within two weeks after the final test in the class.


Although no grade or credit will be given for these courses, the program will require a serious commitment on the part of each student. A total of 21 classroom hours should be complemented with an equal amount of work outside the classroom. A student may take both the Pre-Algebra or Language Arts courses. The cost for each course is $150. Below is more information on the program and what is being taught. I hope you strongly consider sending your child, since it can only help them to have these skills reinforced. I also do notebook checks and teach study skills through the courses.


To sign up, please complete form on reverse side and submit with $150 check per course payable to Covington Latin


As I teach the class currently and have since 2003, please contact me if I may answer any questions or provide additional assistance with your transition to Covington Latin School.


*Contact me if you must miss a class or if your vacation happens during this time, I have some suggestions. To get the most out of the class, attendance at every one of the sessions is important.


• Please note the 1st week is heavy with homework, please try to keep evenings free to accommodate the load


*If you prefer to teach your child the courses (or will be out of town), please send the form below with a note and $75 per course for the materials. There is much value to attending the class at CLS though. I have worked with families that are on vacation, so please don’t let that stop you from reaching out about accommodations.


**If you would rather teach your child the class? I can give you all of the information for $75 per course. (Or maybe they take one course at CLS and do the other course at home with a parent).


**Additional private tutoring of the course is also available and can be planned around our summer schedules. $35 /hr Or I can set you up with a CLS student that needs service hours.


**Will you be on vacation for 1 week of the course? Here is what I have come up with in the past to compromise. You have 3 options


1. Take the first week- pay full price. Do the 2nd week as an independent study--I will get all of the information together (remind me that Friday please). We can meet prior to the final exams- when you return from vacation- in both subjects for last minute questions/confusion. Then he/she can take the exams that same day with me.


2. Take the first week- pay half price. Do the 2nd week with me private tutoring wise (I usually charge $35/hour, but it should not take too long working one on one to get the information. We can meet at a local library or at CLS). Then he/she can take the final exams when he/she and I feel he/she is ready to take them.


3. Do both courses independent study- $75 for all of the course work per subject. We can do private tutoring if you find that he/she isn't really grasping it.<|endoftext|>Quality Farms Plans $1.9 Million Southeastern Operations Center In Mullins, South Carolina - Area Development


A processor and convertor of wine and beer waste into fuel-grade ethanol and livestock feed, Quality Farms, will invest $1.9 million to establish operations in Mullins, South Carolina, with plans to create of 27 jobs in Marion County.


Its facility in Marion County will provide Quality Farms with the opportunity to create a presence in the Southeastern United States. Located at 6424 E. Highway 76 in Mullins, the 294,243 square-foot building will house equipment to break glass, crush aluminum, and bale the packaging materials for shipping or pickup. This process results in a significant reduction of waste currently directed to landfills. While Quality Farms will lease space and operate out of the same facility as another business, they are not connected.


"We investigated several locations in the Southeast for our expansion. However, because of the energy and excitement of the Economic Development Director in Marion County, we chose to locate in Mullins, South Carolina. Because of the positive responsiveness, I feel we can foster a long-term partnership with the community for future success and growth,” said Quality Farms President Richard Grow.


Founded in 2011 in Dayton, Ohio, Quality Farms was established to provide beer, wine and spirit product destruction and recycling services to the beverage industry. Offering an alternative to landfills that reverses negative revenue, Quality Farms ensures its clients’ compliance while reclaiming more than 90% of the unusable total beverage product and minimizing the environmental footprint.


As an incentive, Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved a $75,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund Grant to be used as reimbursement for the costs of real property improvements.


"We are always looking to partner with innovative companies like Quality Farms, and we are excited to welcome them to Marion County. Quality Farms’ decision to establish their first southeastern facility in South Carolina is a great sign for our state and this local community,” Governor Nikki Haley said.<|endoftext|>PISA – you have a good opportunity to see the LEANING TOWER and enjoy charming streets with characteristic of different historical periods.

1256793  seven referencing the first advent of Christ - His coming to save the world. The middle feast of the Feasts of Jehovah, Pentecost, depicts the advent of the Holy Spirit for the purpose of helping people live a holy life. The Jews celebrate these seven Feasts of Jehovah (they belong to God, not Israel [Leviticus 23:4]) because God commanded them to do so in the Torah. Each celebration was a rehearsal of what would happen at some point in the future of humanity. The first four feasts have already come to pass exactly on time as prescribed by God in His written Word. I have no doubt that the last three feasts will also come to pass exactly as testified to by the customary activity associated with the celebration.


The feast we need to focus on for this vision is the first one of the last three, the Feast of Trumpets also known as "The Day of Hiding". Jewish custom indicates that on this day the righteous will be hidden from judgment. Paul spoke to this custom in 1 Thessalonians 5:9 when he wrote that "God hath not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ." He knew what Zephaniah had written: "Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be HID in the day of the LORD's anger" [2:3]. What does it take to be hidden from judgment? Righteousness and meekness. In other words, holiness.


There are a dozen or more Jewish customs associated with this feast that point to it as being the time when Jesus returns as a thief to snatch away His bride. Space does not permit here to delve into them. However, there is one traditional term found in Jewish writings that the Holy Spirit impressed upon me related to the WTC disaster which was instrumental in the interpretation of this vision. It is the Hebrew nomenclature for the Feast of Trumpets in the Torah: Yom Teruah, the "Day of the Awakening Blast."


The Feast of Trumpets is more popularly known as Rosh HaShanah, the first day of the new year on the Jewish civil calendar. Jewish custom teaches that it is the day on which God created the world. Because of this belief, it is also thought that it will be the beginning day of God's recreation of the earth, its restoration to its former glory in Eden. "The Day of the Lord" label repeatedly used in Scripture implies that when it begins, satan's lease on this planet is about over. He will have only seven more years to rule. It will then be the Lord's sovereign time, His Day of Glory. The refurbishing process begins with a cleansing of the earth by fire. As with all creative processes, order is brought out of disorder. Jewish days begin with night. Light came out of darkness. Moreover, life comes out of death.
