2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Electric Car: Los Angeles Auto Show Video
John Voelcker December 2, 2013 Comment Now!
Walking through the Volkswagen stand at the Los Angeles Auto Show, you would have seen quite a few 2015 Volkswagen Golf models.
But a blue one over in the corner was more special than it may have looked: It was the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf, the battery-electric version of the all-new seventh generation of VW's five-door hatchback, now entering its 40th year of production.
The new Golf line will arrive in U.S. dealers toward the middle of next year, once the company has set up and tested a new production line for gasoline and diesel models in Mexico.
But the electric Golf will be supplied to the U.S. from Germany, and will lag the conventional models by six months or more.
VW plans to offer the car "only at participating dealers in select states," and it will arrive roughly a year from now, in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The company released all the specifications of the 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf two weeks ago.
The electric Golf is powered by a liquid-cooled 24.2-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack located in the floor, under the front and rear seats, and in the tunnel down the middle of the car.
Its front wheels are driven by an 86-kilowatt (115-horsepower) electric motor that produces 199 lb-ft of torque.
VW quotes acceleration of10.4 seconds for the 0-to-60-mph dash; the e-Golf's speed is limited electronically to a maximum of 87 mph.
While the car hasn't yet been rated by the EPA, Volkswagen says it can do 70 to 90 miles, depending on driving conditions and style.
VW uses a slightly higher-rated onboard charger, at 7.2 kW, than the 6.6-kW standard used on the Nissan Leaf. At that rate, the battery can be completely recharged in 4 to 5 hours.
Using conventional 120-Volt household current, though, would take roughly 20 hours.
And VW will also offer DC fast charging, using the new Combined Charging System (CCS) standard, for which today there are just a handful of U.S. charging stations.
The 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show closed yesterday afternoon.

Q: AccountController using MySQL in ASP.NET MVC Creating a default ASP.NET MVC project in Visual Studio sets up a basic project where you can register a user. How would I go on changing this to use a MySQL server instead of SQLServer ?

A: Got it working now.

*

*Install the latest Connector/NET (v
6.0.4.0 currently)

*Replace the default connection string
in web.config with something like:
<add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="server=192.168.1.30;user id=thsuser;Password=thepass;database=thedatabase" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>

*Under the  section in web.config add the following (for the 6.0.4.0 mysql connector atleast), add
<add autogenerateschema="true" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices"
     enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
     requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
     minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
     passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""
     applicationName="/" name="MySQLMembershipProvider" type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLMembershipProvider, MySql.Web, Version=6.0.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d" />

*Run the project, go back into Visual Studio and click the ASP.NET Configuration button above the solution explorer.
Navigate to "Provider Configuration"->"Select a different provider for each feature " and  select the "MySQLMembershipProvider"
Works atleast for registering and logging in from a mysql database, the MySQLMembershipProvider will autogenerate the needed tables.

A: You can either implement (and replace the default) membership provider with one that works with MySQL or you can pull out the code that uses the membership provider and implement the membership functionality in your own code.  I'd suggest that implementing a membership provider isn't too difficult and will make it easier.  See the MSDN article on implementing membership provider for details.

(in the photo: Do Tuan, Chan Van Fung, Chin Kuok Din, Mai An Chau).
Many years ago a popular troop of actors performed the Red Junk Opera in Foshan City. They toured between Zhaoqing and Guangzhou. Once Leung Bok Cho visited a performance and understood that he could never find better students! Actors had great acrobatic and martial skills, and their profession required a knowledge and psychic development to warm' to the characters they were depicting. Having become friends with the actors, Bok Cho found out that they practiced Gun-Fu in the Ven Chun Kuen style (Fist of Eternal Spring). Ven Chun Quen is written differently from its first hieroglyph form but almost sounds the same. They were taught this style by Chzhi Shim, a monk from the Foshan Shaolin Temple.
Chzhi Shim's Eternal Spring' consisted of fist techniques, pairs work (similar to Chi Sao in Wing Chun or Tui Shou in Tai Chi), as well as work with 3 metre poles and pairs short swords' techniques. Having satisfied themselves on Bok Cho's mastership and the wisdom of his style, the actors became his students. The gifted teacher Leung Bok Cho spent several years in the Opera. During that time, staff and actors learned all the secrets of his style.
The Ven Chun Quen style of Chzhi Shim wasn't forgotten and was practiced in parallel with the pole and butterfly swords' techniques which became the nature of Vin Chun Quen. The fusion of related Shaolin systems occurred. Among the most distinctive of Leung Bok Cho's students were Vong Va Bo, Dai Fa Min' Kam, Leung Yi Tai and Go Lo Chung. Vong Va Bo (Huan Huabao) came from the Gulao region. Being a massive and strong fighter he was highly respected by his friends. He performed dramatic roles in the opera, requiring tough will and an excellent training in martial arts (Vong Va Bo played the martial commander Mo Sang). Vong Va Bo was a virtuoso in the use of the long pole. Having reached an old age he settled in Foshan city where he began teaching Wing Chun Quen to wealthy citizens. Among his students was his fellow countryman, doctor and pharmacist, Leung Chzhan as well as a policeman called Fok Bo Chuen.
Kam Painted Face' (Da Hua Mia Tszin), who mostly performed clowns roles, differed in his amazing dexterity and agility. He was a great acrobat and juggler. Having retired from the Opera, he settled in Foshan City and opened a Vin Chun Quen class. While at the Opera, he taught the young Fung Siu Ching. Later in Foshan City he taught Fok Bo Chuen (who studied at different times under two different Vin Chun Quen Masters).
Fok Bo Chuen worked for the Foshan City police during the period of the late Qing Dynasty. He became famous for his courage as well as his amazing depth of mastership and knowledge of martial arts. For his virtuoso weapons skills he was called Double knife' Fok.
Fung Siu Ching from the Shunde region was also a policeman. In his younger years, working as a tailor's apprentice, he met Dai Fa Min' Kam, one of the actors in the Red Junk Opera. Having become his student for several years he toured with the troop. Taking into account Fung Ciu Ching's brilliant reputation, a Sichuan province governor asked him to become his main bodyguard. No opponents have ever defeated Siu Ching. There were legends circulating that he was a really powerful warrior and a brilliant weapon fighter (spear, pole, swords, javelin, etc.). Even when he was a young man, Fung Siu Ching already had his first students. He taught Ven Chun Kuen and Siu Lam Ven Chun. Many of his students became professional guards and moved abroad. His style spread to Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Among the Vin Chun Masters, Fung Siu Ching was one of the most unique specialists of his time.
At the end of the 19th Century a rich Foshan fireworks-merchant called Yuen Chzhong Min, having spotted the great interest his children showed in martial arts, decided to provide them with a decent education in this area. He found the policeman Fok Bo Chuen and invited him to live and teach in Yuen's own family estate, named Mulberry Garden'.
Vin Chun Quen classes taught by a Master are very expensive. But Yuen Chzhong Min was quite wealthy and loved his children. He paid a lot for his sons' education (Gun Fu as well as legal studies).
Fok Bo Chuen trained the Yuen family, paying special attention to Chzho Min's two sons: Chai Van and Kai San.
Yuen Chai Van (1877-1961) was the fourth child in the family. Yuen Kai San (born in 1889) was the fifth. Fok Bo Chuen taught the brothers for many years. The teacher taught them fist fighting, fundamental Vin Chun Quen exercises, wooden dummy exercises, pole and butterfly knives techniques, biu' (byao) javelins throwing and fire arms shooting (revolver and rifle). The teaching began from limbs training (a palm in the iron sand'). During this special exercise (based on special methods with the use of herbal and mineral substances) strikes are made by various parts of the hand on sacks filled with rice, sand, pebbles and iron chips. After their studies the brothers developed amazing hand power. They could break through a sack of rice with their fingers as well as bending coins.
Having finished working with the Yuen family, Fok Bo Chuen retired to a monastery where he lived until the end of his life. Yuen Chai Van continued his classes, always visiting his teacher in the temple.
Later, a new teacher called Fung Siu Ching, arrived to the Yuen household. The Master Ching's Vin Chun Quen version was a fighting system combining Wing Chun's close combat and Tsin Na art. The latter is taught to divert the opponent's attention and helps develop sensitivity in applying power. The brothers were actually highly accomplished masters at this stage. That is why the teacher, Ching, concentrated his attention on the quality side of exercises, which they were already familiar with. During a relatively short time the brothers' skills were raised to a very high level. Ching taught them close quarter fighting, the art of seizure and capture as well as freeing oneself, improved their wooden dummy techniques and use of weapons.
Fung Siu Ching began work in the Yuen family when he was 70 years old. Like the previous teacher, he lived and taught until the end of his days in the Mulberry Garden' estate. He died at the age of 73 years old. Fung Siu Ching was buried at the Yuen family cemetery.
Wing Chun historians of Yuen Kai San's life say very little about Kai San's older brother, Yuen Chai Van. All that we read about is the fact that the brothers studied Vin Chun together and that Yuen Chai Van later immigrated to Vietnam. Yuen Chai Van was around 12 years older then Kai San and if they began their study in 1900, then Chai Van was 23 and Kai San 12 years old. Here we can come to the conclusion that the first years of study were in a different regime and with different requirements for either brother. Nearly straight away, on completing his study with Fung Siu Ching, Yuen Chai Van left home. Yuen Kai San remained in the family estate and continued to perfect his skills. It is known for certain that Yuen Kai San was one of the best Wing Chun Masters in Foshan. Currently the only teacher of Kai San is Shum Nun.

HomeFast Forward: Quick reads through a Jewish lens
Unattended Package Left At Pittsburgh JCC Detonated By Police
February 12, 2018 By JTA
Image by JCC Pittsburgh / Facebook...
(JTA) — An unattended package left at a Pittsburgh-area Jewish Community Center was detonated by police.
The small canvas bag was left on a ramp leading to the parking garage under the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill building on Sunday afternoon, the local CBS affiliate KDKA reported.
The Pittsburgh Police Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit detonated the bag after closing the two roads around the building to traffic. The JCC was closed off for less than two hours.
The package turned out to be a bag of tools left behind by a worker.
"Out of an abundance of caution and in keeping with established security protocols, the JCC alerted and worked with the City of Pittsburgh Police Department this afternoon after an unidentified small package was discovered on our premises in Squirrel Hill," JCC President and CEO Brian Schreiber said in a statement issued later on Sunday. "While we apologize for any inconvenience to our members and guests, the safety of the people we serve is paramount and we thank any of you who were in our facility for your patience."
Schreiber in the statement reminded JCC members: "'IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING,' whether at the JCC, on your street, and in your neighborhood."
More than 100 bomb threats were made against JCCs throughout the United States in early 2017. An Israeli-American teen from Ashkelon was arrested and accused of making most of the threats.

Skin will look fresh and feel happier from the first wash.
Specifically formulated for young skin.
Directions: Apply to wet face and gently massage all over face avoiding eye area. Rinse thoroughly.
Please note that it may be that my skin simply had a bad reaction to this particular product. In any case, this stuff has caused quite some trouble. I normally use an exfoliating blackhead fighting type scrub (also from clean and clear, no complaints there). However, this stuff was on offer so I gave it a go. It has left my face red raw, painful, like sandpaper and peeling. I would compare it to a mild chemical peel. It's 3 days since I stopped using it and the effects are still being felt. My job is very customer-centric and it's quite emvarrassing having skin flakes fallnoff my whole face the whole time we're talking. Even my lips have been affected. They're rough, sore and chapped. It's painful to open my mouth too much because of this. My eyes are also sore from this stuff. All in all not a very pleasant experience. To reiterate, it may just be my skin type but I've never encountered this type of reaction from nimerous similar products.

Why should I use worm egg counts in my worming programme?
Just like bacteria and antibiotics worms are evolving to become resistant to the drugs we have available. We are trying to reduce the amount of times we expose our horses to these chemicals so as to slow down this development. There are only a handful of drugs licenced to treat parasites and already well documented resistance to some. In many cases you will be able to cut down on the amount of chemicals going into your horse and out onto the pasture. You can target the correct wormers at the horse who needs them instead of wasting doses on 'clean' horses. As resistance develops it is no longer safe to rely on worming without backing this up with the evidence of worm counts and tests to ensure treatment has been effective.
I've heard that worm egg counts don't show all the worms though?
That is correct - we need to use the right tests on a regular schedule to manage the parasite burdens in our horses. Worm counts every 8-12 weeks should form the cornerstone of a parasite control programme to monitor adult, egg laying stages of redworm and roundworm. Encysted stages of redworm are not mature so don't lay the eggs which are counted in the dung sample. It is important to treat with an effective product in the winter months then you can rely on your worm count results over the next season. Tapeworm eggs often appear in dung samples but a worm egg count is not reliable for detecting tapeworm. Use the Equisal saliva test twice a year instead. Pinworm lay their eggs outside the body and rarely show up in a worm egg count. Instead use the adhesive tape impression test to aid detection of this parasite.
I'm reluctant to give up regular worming, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Following a complicated and expensive worming programme does not guarantee that your horse will be free of parasites. Westgate Labs test many horses who have been on worming programmes and still have medium or high worm count results.Growing resistance to some worming drugs means that they may not be effective for your horse. This can only get worse in years to come and there are no new worming drugs. Regular worm counts can identify parasite problems, sometimes only affecting one horse in a herd, so they can be correctly treated.
Westgate Laboratories uses the industry standard 'modified Mcmaster' egg count method. Samples are prepared using a centrifuge to spin out more worm eggs from the faeces. Two slides are run out for examination under the microscope and an average count made of the two. This method is far superior to simple strained methods which you might find elsewhere. The EquiSal saliva test is also very reliable having been rigorously tested, validated and peer reviewed so you can have every confidence in relying on your results.
How can I keep track of my worm count programme?
if you've had counts with us before simply log in to your account using the facility at the top of the page to login and view records of your animals' results. Alternatively Westgate provides a colourful free record card to record all worm counts and wormers given. So, no more guess work needed, use worm counts and be sure your horse is properly wormed.
Worm count kits and items from the online shop are sent by Royal Mail first class packet post. A flat charge of £2.00 for postage and packing is added to your total order to go towards these costs. We aim to process orders on the day they are received – at busy times please allow up to 24hrs.

All being well with the postal service you should receive your order within two – three working days. All prices listed on our website are in pounds sterling and include VAT at 20% where applicable.
All worm count kits purchased from Westgate Labs contain postage paid return envelopes for ease of returning the samples to the lab. Once you have collected the sample simply pop it into the addressed envelope and post in your nearest Royal Mail post box. This system only works within the UK and overseas customers will need to cover return carriage for their samples.
We hope that you will be satisfied with everything you buy from us, however if this is not the case, we promise to refund any item you are unhappy with when you return it to us in a sale-able condition within 14 days of the date shown on your dispatch note. We do not refund return postage unless the item is faulty.

What is the All Seasons Subscription?
The All Seasons Subscription service is a monthly payment plan that provides you with access to the Westgate Labs total parasite test control service.
You will be sent the right test at the right time of year in accordance with your bespoke parasite control programme.
As an example the monthly subscription plan for a Healthy Adult Horse provides a worm egg count or appropriate test sent approximately every three months. The monthly subscription plan for a High Risk Horse e.g. foal or veteran horse, provides a worm egg count or appropriate test sent approximately every two months.
What tests are included in the All Seasons Subscription?
Subscription includes on average three worm egg counts, one resistance test and two Equisal saliva tests.
Subscription includes on average six worm egg counts, one resistance test and two Equisal saliva tests per year.
All Subscription Plans provide access to additional parasite tests such as for resistance, pinworm, lungworm or liver fluke, up to a total value of £25.00 per year, at no further charge to you.
Why is there a difference in price for Young or High Risk Horses?
Foals and young horses under the age of four are especially vulnerable as their immune system takes time to mature.
Older horses, horses with laminitis, EMS, ulcers or conditions impacting on their immune function need extra support. Horses that compete or train away from home on a regular basis will be exposed at show venues etc. to areas of potential contamination.
Both groups therefore need a careful and more frequent schedule of tests and treatment to help ensure a healthier life.
What if I change my horse?
Your All Seasons subscription plan is designed to provide your individual horse with a bespoke plan just for them and their individual needs. It is important that you therefore let us know of any changes in circumstances.
If you change your horse then simply cancel* your current subscription. If you want to add another horse then sign up to All Seasons with their details.
Choose which subscription plan is right for your horse then follow the instructions and answer any questions needed to determine the right plan for your horse. Once you have completed all the sign up details, including shipping and payment details, you will receive notification from us of your subscription plan.
At the right time, we will then send you the test you need for your horse to target the correct parasites at the appropriate time of year.
When you receive the test, follow the instructions and pop the sample in the post as instructed. We will then contact you with your results.
If you are unsure what action is needed based on those results, then just contact us and we will be happy to provide you with veterinary approved advice from our qualified SQPs.

Geotextiles are permeable fabrics which, when used in association with soil, have the ability to separate, filter, reinforce, protect, or drain. Typically made from polypropylene or polyester, geotextile fabrics come in two basic forms: woven (resembling mail bag sacking) and nonwoven (resembling felt).
Geotextile sandbags protected the historic house Kliffende on Sylt island against storms, which eroded the cliffs left and right from the sandbag barrier.[1]
Geotextile sandbags can be 20 m long, such as those used for the artificial reef at Narrow Neck, Queensland.[1]
Geotextile composites have been introduced and products such as geogrids and meshes have been developed. Geotextiles are durable and are able to soften a fall. Overall, these materials are referred to as geosynthetics and each configuration—geonets, geosynthetic clay liners, geogrids, geotextile tubes, and others—can yield benefits in geotechnical and environmental engineering design.
2.1 Global warming
2.1.1 Glacier retreat
3 Design methods
Geotextiles were originally intended to be a substitute for granular soil filters. The original, and still sometimes used, term for geotextiles is filter fabrics. Work originally began in the 1950s with R.J. Barrett using geotextiles behind precast concrete seawalls, under precast concrete erosion control blocks, beneath large stone riprap, and in other erosion control situations.[2] He used different styles of woven monofilament fabrics, all characterized by a relatively high percentage open area (varying from 6 to 30%). He discussed the need for both adequate permeability and soil retention, along with adequate fabric strength and proper elongation and set the tone for geotextile use in filtration situations.
ApplicationsEdit
A silt fence on a construction site.
Geotextiles and related products have many applications and currently support many civil engineering applications including roads, airfields, railroads, embankments, retaining structures, reservoirs, canals, dams, bank protection, coastal engineering and construction site silt fences or geotube. Usually geotextiles are placed at the tension surface to strengthen the soil. Geotextiles are also used for sand dune armoring to protect upland coastal property from storm surge, wave action and flooding. A large sand-filled container (SFC) within the dune system prevents storm erosion from proceeding beyond the SFC. Using a sloped unit rather than a single tube eliminates damaging scour.
Erosion control manuals comment on the effectiveness of sloped, stepped shapes in mitigating shoreline erosion damage from storms. Geotextile sand-filled units provide a "soft" armoring solution for upland property protection. Geotextiles are used as matting to stabilize flow in stream channels and swales.[3][4]
Geotextiles can improve soil strength at a lower cost than conventional soil nailing.[5] In addition, geotextiles allow planting on steep slopes, further securing the slope.
Geotextiles have been used to protect the fossil hominid footprints of Laetoli in Tanzania from erosion, rain, and tree roots.[6]
In building demolition, geotextile fabrics in combination with steel wire fencing can contain explosive debris.[7]
Coir (coconut fiber) geotextiles are popular for erosion control, slope stabilization and bioengineering, due to the fabric's substantial mechanical strength.[3]: App. I.E Coir geotextiles last approximately 3 to 5 years depending on the fabric weight. The product degrades into humus, enriching the soil.[8]
Global warmingEdit
Glacier retreatEdit
Geotextiles with reflective properties are used in protecting the melting glaciers. In north Italy, they use Geotextiles to cover the glaciers for protecting from the Sun.[9]
Design methodsEdit
While many possible design methods or combinations of methods are available to the geotextile designer, the ultimate decision for a particular application usually takes one of three directions: design by cost and availability, design by specification, or design by function. Extensive literature on design methods for geotextiles has been published in the peer reviewed journal Geotextiles and Geomembranes.
RequirementsEdit
Geotextiles are needed for specific requirements, just as anything else in the world. Some of these requirements consist of polymers composed of a minimum of 85% by weight poly-propylene, polyesters, polyamides, polyolefins, and polyethylene. [10]
Hard landscape materials
Sediment control
Polypropylene raffia

It allows the concrete to move, but it keeps the concrete from flying. The chain link catches the bigger material and the fabric catches the smaller material from flying up and out.

1st December 1851: W. H. F. Talbot's account of dispute with the Commissioners of the Exhibition
R. Derek Wood
This document has not been previously published in print,
only in this online presentation of 'Midley History of early Photography'
In the early 1970s the following documents concerning the exhibition of 1851 were held in the 'Fox Talbot Collection' files 148 and 148b at the Royal Photographic Society, at that period in London. Since then that Collection has been transferred to the National Museum of Photography at Bradford. File 148, being three short draft letters of 16 Nov 1851 - to Bolton and Carpmael and Knight - were catalogued at NMP as Doc No.s 06514-6 and the text has since been made available online by the Talbot Correspondence Project at http://foxtalbot.dmu.ac.uk/ and [here] on this 'Midley History of early Photography'. However the file 148b, a very abbreviated and difficult to decipher draft letter, does not seem to have received attention at Bradford or by the Talbot Correspondence Project (previously at Glasgow, in 2005 transferred to De Montfort University, Leicester, UK). Yet it is doubless the most significant in providing an account of events from Talbot's perspective:
Draft manuscript of a letter dated 1 December 1851 from W.H.F. Talbot to the second Earl Granville (Lord Granville: George Leveson-Gower (1815-1891) chairman of the Finance Committee of the Exhibition of 1851)
[Previously catalogued as File 148b of Fox Talbot Collection, Royal Photographic Society, this collection since transferred to National Museum of Photography at Bradford.]
[To] Ld G[ranville] Dec 1 /51
My Ld, I shall endeavour to lay before your lordship in the following remarks upon the causes which have impeded the execution of the plates of the great work on the Crystal Palace.
This photographic work was unfortunately undertaken after the 3 finest months of the year (M.J.Jy [May, June, July] ) had elapsed. At the end of July and during my absence at B'lin [1] the Executive Committee applied to Mr Henneman to undertake it. He entered into the idea with ardour, but being a foreigner and having no one at the moment to advise him, he unfortunately did not see how necessary it was before entering into an undertaking a work of such magnitude, to have a written contract drawn up and signed (which would have avoided all future difficulties by defining every part of the matter). As it was, the only agreement he made with the Executive Committee in nature of a legal contract He however contracted to supply the committee with 200 negative pictures on glass of the objects they wish for at at the rate of 3 guineas each, and with 100 negatives on paper at the rate of 2 guineas each and with 1 positive copy of each at the rate of 5 shillings, it being understood that this 1st positive copy was to be made with particular pains, therefore to be paid for at a higher price than the subsequent copies were to be furnished at a much lower price.
He [Henneman] immediately sent to Paris to engage the 2 best French photographers on glass Martens and Ferrier, and finding there was a difficulty in obtaining their services he started himself, going and returning I believe in 36 hours. No one could display greater zeal in the matter. He thus engaged the services of these artists at the rate of 2 guineas which was to be paid them for each picture, and all their expenses connected with taking the pictures (such as chemicals apparatus &c) would be provided and paid for by Henneman.
But M. Martens not liking the terms of this engagement in almost a fortnight threw up his engagement and returned to Paris, alleging he was so thwarted and impeded at the Crystal Palace that he could do nothing. Mr Ferrier remained and executed the contract, but his complaints on the same score were continual. There was great difficulty experienced owing to the bad light in the building from the calico which covered the roof being dirty, and the declining light of the sun in September, and still more in October. M. Ferrier also greatly complained that when he had everything prepared to make a fine view of some statue or other object he was frequently prevented from doing it, by the Committee [one illegible word] who informed him they had not yet procured the owner's leave to have it copied. A thing they ought to have taken most anxious pains about. Under these circumstances it is marvellous only a wonder that such good pictures should have been obtained. Mr Henneman and M Ferrier would undertake to photograph the collection of any British nobleman in a tenth part of the time (supposing the number of /ob/ pictures made to be the same) however of course such the nobleman would himself give every facility for the accomplishment of the work he ordered. But in this instance M Ferrier could only work from 6 till 9 in the morning when the advent of the public obliged him to withdraw with his instruments. 227 negatives were taken in this way, but the profit derived by Mr Henneman from the affair, was not sufficient to remunerate him for his great loss of time and neglect of his own business. The only part of this original contract between the Committee and Mr Henneman which would have been really remunerative was that for 100 negatives upon paper. In this part (being done by Mr Henneman himself) of course he received all the profits of it. But upon his furnishing to the Committee the first 20 pictures under this contract, the Committee excercised the right of rejection (which they had reserved to themselves) and rejected 19 of them. Of course Mr Henneman could not attempt to proceed further. And he made executed no more paper of that contract therefore [or thus?] losing nearly 200 guineas to which he was would have been fairly entitled. He had unfortunately (trusting entirely in the Executive Committee) neglected to stipulate for himself any right of appeal or arbitration or appeal against an unjust decision. That it was an unjust one in this instance appears from what follows. The rejected pictures were shown to Sir David Brewster, when he assured me that he thought most of them were excellent, some most beautiful.
It had all along been intended by the Executive Committee that Mr Henneman should make the positive copies from the glass negatives and it was to that he looked for his remuneration. The only question was as to the price to be paid to him. Mr Henneman since he has been in business I believe never sold a negative picture to any one, and certainly never would have sold these to the Executive Committee except that he thought he was dealing with a public body, of the highest honour, and they assured him repeatedly these negatives would become national property and be deposited most properly in the British Museum - but that he would be allowed the use of them occasionally even after they were so deposited. Upon this assurance he did what he never did before, he consented to part with the negative pictures.
On September 29 [1851] the negatives being nearly finished the Committee offered to make with Mr Henneman a contract for the positive copies at the rate of 2/6 {2 shillings and 6 pence] each, they to have the right of rejecting bad copies &c. He accepted this offer by return of post copying their own words respecting the right of rejection &c &c. Never the less they The Committee made no answer for a considerable time and then withdrew their offer, on the ground that Mr Henneman had refused to comply with other matters contained in the same letter of 29 September. But what were these matters? One of them was the following, which is certainly one of the most extraordinary [exty ?] proposals which ever emanated from any Exec public body. It was that Mr Owen of Bristol (to whom I had [previously?] given my license suitable to do so) should make a certain number of positive copies and for send them to Mr Henneman who should therefore pay Mr Owen for them and forward them to the Committee at the same price who should then pay Mr Henneman for them the same price he had paid to Mr Owen, leaving Mr Henneman (this is expressly stated) to pay out of his own pocket the any royalty due to myself I might claim on the said pictures (NB. the Committee were evidently not then aware that I had relinquished all any such claim to royalty on this occasion). This beneficial arrangement, together with 1 other point of the letter Mr Henneman refused to comply with. And it was upon that ground that the Committee rescinded the contract of the 29 September. The one other point I here allude to was this. The Committee had promised to Mr Henneman as the most beneficial advantageous part of the whole transaction to him that after the completion of the work, he should be allowed to make copies, and sell them to the public for his own benefit (see extract No. 2 and the same on many previous occasions). They now however stated that they would impose upon him a maximum price which he must not exceed (without saying what price this would be). Mr Henneman replied [several draft words deleted here] (A)
/(A) that he was willing thought 5 shillings would be the proper maximum price. The committee made no reply at the time. But they rescinded the contract of 29 September in consequence of this alleged noncompliance./
After this no comment was received from the committee for some time, when we heard to our amazement that they were going to have the work executed in France. A remonstrance was sent thro Dr. L Sir D. B. [Brewster]. immediately undertook to communicate with Col. Reid on the subject but which if he had done I think the subsequent difficulties would have been avoided. But he sought for him in vain at L & Wch [London and Woolwich?] during 2 days after which he was obliged to go to Scotland and shortly after the Col. [Reid] departed to Malta. [2]
A private Remonstrance was then [6 November] sent to the Committee through Dr. L. Playfair, [3] but remained unattended to. The points urged were that this being a patent involved the committee could not legally employ any non-licensed person to execute the photographic plates in England, nor could they legally import them from France without taking into account the not to say that this would be a most painful return for the courtesy with which all their wishes had been met on my part. The Executive Committee [merely?] informed me by letter [dated 8 November 1851 [4] ] 1st that the price of 2/6 [2 shillings and 6 pence] per copy was too great, 2ndly that Mr Henneman made bad copies which would not last possess any permanence. To the 1st point I replied [on 9 November [5] ] that the price of 2/6 was their own proposal [to Henneman] of September 29th. And to the 2nd I replied by the following offer which I trust your Lordship will consider a very reasonable one -"Would the Committee like to see specimens of positives produced by Mr Henneman from 6 to 10 years ago which have remained unaltered? In that case I would forward a parcel containing 100 of them for their inspection"
Not the slightest notice was taken by the Committee of this offer. Mr Henneman subsequently informed me that the defects in a few copies complained of by the Committee were caused by their having been done in a hurry by one of his assistants while he was himself absent making views at Osb [Osborne House, Isle of Wight] by command of her Majesty,
Finding that Mr Cole was prejudiced against Mr. Henneman had objected as to Mr Henneman's pictures I advised my other licensee Mr Knight of Foster Lane, Cheapside, to see Mr Cole and offer to take the contract either alone or making Mr Henneman such indemnity as might be agreed on between them. Mr Knight accordingly waited on Mr Cole when Mr Cole offered him the contract to make the copies at 1/ each [1 shilling]. This It seems inconsistent that Mr Cole should make him offer him the contract, and it shows (I may fairly argue) that the price which Henneman asked was the real ground of objection with the Committee and not any real or fancied imperfection in his [Henneman's] work. Mr. Knight however rejected the offer as too low and withdrew. We soon afterwards learnt that the Committee had actually made a contract with Mr. Bingham /who has no license from me / to execute the copies in France at the price of 1/6 per copy, and to furnish them to the Committee at the rate of [80?] per diem at which rate the work would be executed in 8 months.
I called [either on 17 November or "some days" later [6] ] upon Mr Knight with reference to this matter and stated it as my opinion when on my pointing out remarking that great expense would be incurred by Mr. Bingham in establishing a photographic manufactory in the south of France (supposing him to be allowed ever to do so) he informed me that Mr. Bingham would not have undertaken the contract at the price of 1/6 per copy if this had been the only consideration, but that the principle one was that Mr. B the Committee had granted to Mr. Bingham the right of selling to the public for his own benefit as many copies as he pleased, after furnishing the stipulated number to the Committee and that as Mr. Bingham intended to sell them in France where whither my patent does not extend it /the permission/ would be very valuable undertaking. I replied that the Committee could not grant such privilege to Mr. Bingham, because (apart from all other considerations) they had already granted it to Mr. Henneman: but Mr. Knight persisting in the correctness of his information I had an interview with Mr. Bingham himself when Mr. Bingham fully confirmed the statement. Nor did it appear from what he said that the Committee had taken any security or in any way tied him down bound him not to sell some of these copies in France even during the time he was employed by about the work of the Committee.
Under these circumstances the only remedy seemed to be to seek the protection of a Court of Law, and give publicity to all the proceedins. But it was thought best /
I have omitted to mention that some days previous to this I was advised/ to ask for a personal interview with the Committee - then consisting of only 2 members in activity - Mr. Cole and Mr. D. [Charles Wentworth Dilke (1810-1869)] - Accordingly I went, accompanied by my Solicitor [J. H. Bolton of Price & Bolton, Lincolns Inn, London] and had a conference with these gentlemen in the Great Exhibition Building on Monday the 17 November [1851]. The Committee then stated that they had made such arrangements with Mr. Bingham that it appeared to them the best way of terminating the difficulty would be to offer ask me to sanction their arrangement with Mr. Bingham and to offer me compensation. I replied that I had all along disclaimed any pecunary compensation - but that I would agree to accept a certain number of copies of the photographic part alone of their great work, and on that condition would myself undertake to partly compensate Mr. Henneman with a present of £200 thus undertaking ? (quite unnecessarily I must confess) a portion of the just responsibilities justly of the Committee. Mr.C and Mr. D. accepted the proposal and after a short consideration the number of copies was fixed at 15. Mr. Cole and stated that the cost of each copy to the Committee would be £30, the total therefore of 15 copies £450. I undertook on my part not to sell any of the copies but give them all away. me to put the offer The Committee then desired me to put the agreement in writing and let them have it that Monday [17 November]. I replied I would send it as soon as I could. I accordingly drew it out as follows and posted it the same evening and they of course received it on Tuesday morning [18 November] /I must observe that/ The sentence "I presume [... space of one line follows here in the draft manuscript] was not a part of the agreement entered into that day with the Committee but was merely mentioned by me as a thing that had been frequently promised (see for instance extract from correspondence No. [Space for actual number left blank in manuscript here] ). Not having an idea at the time that their sale had been likewise promised to Mr. Bingham I did not allude to it /the subject [7] / during that interview. My Solicitor who was part of the interview will bear witness that the letter my letter of 17 November of which the foregoing following is a copy correctly contains precisely the same offer which the Committee had accepted. (letter) [8]
I now considered the matter settled, except the mere formality of a reply. On Tuesday and Wednesday I heard nothing from the Committee - But on Thursday [20 November 1851] came the following answer repudiating the contract. [9]
I have only to add that I then for the first time heard of the existence of the "Financial Committee" that the gentlemen of the Executive Committee during the interview of the 17th gave no intimation that they were not fully authorized and empowered to treat with me, that my Solicitor and myself consider all both parties to be bound in honour by the agreement, that for my part I had no idea that I was a liberty to change the terms of that agreement if on reflection I should be dissatisfied with them and that such a proceeding strikes at the root of all honorable arrangement of the difficulties which must occasionally occur in the settlement of all important or complicated transactions.

2. Sir William Reid (1791-1858) of the Royal Engineers was chairman of the Executive Committee and "undertook the duties of communicating with the public departments". Reid had been Governor of the Bermudas and then Windward Islands during most of the 1840s. His departure for Malta mentioned by Talbot was to take up his new appointment as Governor there.
3. Dr. Lyon Playfair (1818-1898), Chemist and a Statesman of Science, had been appointed "Special Commissioner in charge of Juries". He and Henry Cole were a complementary pair and when the Science and Art Department was established in South Kensington in 1853 Playfair was Science and Cole Art.

"(B) Answer. November 19 [1851] – I am directed by the Executive Committee to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th Nov. and to say that it shall be submitted to the Finance Committee at their 1st meeting. At the same time I am to say that the proposal as now made submitted in your letter is one which the Executive Committee would not feel themselves justified in recommending for the sanction of the Finance Committee.

*A few great Cyber Monday deals are at the end of this post!
A few posts back when I shared some gorgeous Christmas trees that were inspiring me this year, I noticed a theme. Most of them were flocked! I've never been a huge fan of flocked trees in the past, but this year I've been drawn to them and wanted to try one out. I hated to spend money on a new tree since mine is only a few years old and still perfectly fine, so I decided to try flocking it myself. I felt like I had nothing to lose! I did look around a little online to get an idea of what this project might entail, and this tutorial was helpful. I ended up doing mine just a bit differently so I thought I'd share my experience with you.
The first step is to put a fine mist of water on the area you're about to flock. The flock comes with very good instructions, but generally the idea is to put some of the powder in the strainer, shake it out over the damp tree, and as it's falling out spray the mist on it so it attaches to the tree. The powder contains an adhesive that activates with water, so it sticks to the tree when it gets wet.
I also want to mention that you'll want to do this on a still day, which is virtually impossible in Oklahoma. I was fighting a bit of a breeze, and it took a bit of trial and error for me to get the hang of what would work best. Actually, rather that sifting the powder through the strainer, it worked better for me to sprinkle it out the side and spray it with water as it was falling. I just had to be careful not to dump my entire strainer out at once!
In a few areas where I needed a bit more control, I grabbed a pinch of powder in my hands and sprinkled it on a targeted spot as I sprayed. It will stick to your hands but washes out easily (I should have followed the directions and worn gloves!). As soon as the powder lands, mist it again to lock it in place.
My tree is 9 feet tall, so rather than attach the top and work with a ladder, I propped the top section on the ground which made it much easier to work with.
A note on the lights: My tree is prelit. The flocking directions state to make sure that your lights are indoor/outdoor. I have no idea if mine are but I assumed so and everything turned out fine. The flocking powder will build up on the outside lights and make them frosty, but it gives them a pretty, soft glow.
The 2 pound bag that I bought was just enough to cover my 9 foot tree, however if I would have had more I would have put it on a little heavier.
I did a final mist all over the tree once I was all done to make sure all of the adhesive got activated.
After I was finished there were still some spots here and there that I wished were a little more covered, so I picked up this spray from Hobby Lobby (available online here) to fill in some bare spots. This does not build up like the flocking powder, but it's like a thick spray paint that gave me snowy-looking color where there were still some green spots here and there.
Here's a before and after of a section that I had flocked, but then I hit it with the snow spray to make it a bit whiter. The spray also helped get the under side of some of the upper branches that the flocking powder missed.
You can see how the powder builds up in some spots nicely, and it does a nice job of coating the needles. There are some iridescent "ice crystals" mixed in with the powder too that give a little shine if the light hits them right.
After a few hours when the tree dried, I brought it in. I noticed a few pieces that flaked off when I pulled it through the door, but for the most part the flock is staying on well even when I move the branches around. For about $25 and an hour or two of work, I'm very happy with the results!
Remember that round tablecloth I told you about that I was going to make into a tree skirt? It's not fluffed and fixed yet, but I think it's going to work out great!
One last thing: When I plugged my tree in this year, there were two sections of lights out. Nothing is more frustrating that having to deal with lights that are out when you're all set to decorate!
I've had this tool for years, and it's magic! After connecting one of the bulbs that's out, you click the trigger and most of the time the lights come right back on! Occasionally the problem is more severe, and there are other steps that this tool walks you through to fix them, but generally it works the first time. Both of my dark spots were back on in seconds... hooray!
Alright, we've enjoyed it bare for a few days but it's time to get some jewelry on this tree!

I love this I always wondered how people do it. Now is it going to be messy and come off when you pack it away each year?
I expect for it to be like any ready-made flocked tree. I'm sure some will flake off as it is packed away but I don't expect it to be significant. It really sticks on well!
I ordered the powder and applied it to my tree just this past weekend. I was shocked how easy it was and how well it turned out. I do wish I had the can of snow to add a bit more, but maybe next year.
That turned out so great. I always wondered how you could flock a tree yourself.
I very much admire your can-do attitude!
Impressive DIY! It came out great Jennifer!
Your tree looks just gorgeous and I love it a lot! You did an amazing job!

Once all the paint, filler and underseal, glue, etc have been removed using the plastic media blasting process, the corrosion should be visible and can be dealt with. (Sound deadening pads, oil, grease and all the other problem materials must be removed by hand or similar methods).
To remove the surface corrosion an abrasive that is hard enough to scour the surface clean must be used. It needs to be sharp and angular to cut into the corrosion on the surface of the metal but small enough to prevent the heat generation, hammering or peening action that has the potential to damage the panels. This is where a skilled operator is essential to minimise the risk of distortion.
We then put a zinc phosphate treatment on the surface of the metal. This is an acid based material that is absorbed into the surface of the metal carrying with it a small amount of zinc. It is a metal pre-treatment not a paint, it is clear so hides nothing. It is also a rust converter so there is a chemical reaction that converts any corrosive salts to zinc strontium phosphate, a hard, black and chemically inert material. It effectively eats and solidifies the salts thus stabilising the metal. Without the phosphate there is a real risk of corrosion re-occurring if not protected with paint quickly.
The phosphate is a chemical preparation that passivates the surface of the metal, killing corrosive salts and providing a chemical key on to which the paint molecules can lock. This, combined with the profile of the surface, provide a mechanical key that further aids paint adhesion.
The important point is that the product is not solvent based, therefore there is no problem of paint compatibility, you can use whatever paint you like.
The pictures below give examples of our rust removal work.

Jones: Rates for Health Insurance Plans Rose Significantly in 2014
California health insurance premiums increased significantly in 2014, according to a report released Tuesday by state Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones (D), the Los Angeles Times reports (Pfeifer, Los Angeles Times, 7/29).
The report came two days before Covered California, the state's insurance exchange, is scheduled to release rates for 2015.
Details of Report
For the report, the state Department of Insurance compared the price of mid-quality standard health plans in 2014 with the most popular health plans in 2013 (Nirappil, AP/Sacramento Bee, 7/29). The analysis included California's four largest insurers:
Anthem Blue Cross;
Blue Shield of California;
Health Net; and
Kaiser Permanente.
DOI found that premiums for individuals increased by between 22% and 88% in 2014 (Aliferis, "State of Health," KQED, 7/29).
According to the report, the increases were dependent on consumers':
Age;

Jones said the largest increases were among younger individuals. For instance, 25-year-olds in Los Angeles County paid 52% more for a silver plan in 2014 than they did for a similar plan in 2013, compared with 55-year-olds in that area who paid 38% more for such a plan in 2014.
However, Jones noted that the increases did not affect low-income individuals, since they largely received extensive subsidies for health plans through the ACA (Los Angeles Times, 7/29).
Insurers' Response
Health insurers criticized Jones' analysis as misleading. They noted that many individuals were eligible for subsidies under the ACA and that health plans were subject to additional requirements under the law this year.
In a statement, California Association of Health Plans Executive Vice President Charles Bacchi said that "while some paid more for this expanded health care coverage [under the ACA], many Californians paid less and benefited from subsidies" (AP/Sacramento Bee, 7/29).
Bacchi added that Jones' analysis "doesn't take into account subsidies, enrollees who are benefiting from the ACA, or acknowledge how the ACA has substantially expanded coverage and benefits while also changing the way premiums are priced" (Los Angeles Times, 7/29).

El Reno Church Begins To Rebuild Months After Fire
Saturday, April 11th 2015, 11:10 pm
Seven months after a fire burned down an El Reno church, members finally broke ground on a brand new building.
It's been a long, unexpected road for Faith Family Church members, who have been without a building since September when their church of 25 years burned down.
Faith Family Church Assistant Pastor Samantha Roach said she remembers the frightening phone call alerting her that her church was on fire.
"I was personally numb, all our memories, tapes all of our books, everything was gone, because it had burned down to the ground," said Roach.
The building had been there since 1937. Roach and her husband Paul took the church over in the late 1980's. And in one bad thunder storm, the church caught on fire. Firefighters believe the cause may have been electrical.
Without a building for seven months, Faith Family Church began to move forward.
The congregation broke ground to build a brand new building in early April.
The new church will be about 10,000 square feet, seating up to 250 people.
It'll be twice the size of the last sanctuary.
"A lot better of a situation than what we had, we had actually outgrown the old building, so this has actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise," said Martin Roach, Pastor Paul's brother and church worship leader.
The church is in need of furniture, sound equipment, and educational material.
View the church's web site.
Already, Faith Family Church said the public has been extremely generous.
"Someone spontaneously gave us a check at Sid's Diner yesterday, and we can hardly wait for the ceremony for the opening of the new building. It hurt when it went down. It was devastating, but our story is far from over," Samantha Roach said.
The church is hoping to have the new building completed and ready for service on the exact date it burned down last year, Sept. 6.

Faith Family Church currently meets at First Presbyterian Church until their new building is finished.
PLS Construction is building the new church, and Roach said their contractor Steve Owens of Tulsa, is also a pastor and has been amazing with helping them cut costs.
They plan to open the building debt-free.
"We just really can't wait for it to get put together," said member Randy Croskey.

TOWSON, MD. – The weeks surrounding Memorial Day are a time for reflection on the services and freedoms provided by the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Backyard barbecues and pool parties should be a secondary thought to those who have given their lives for their country.
While Memorial Day Weekend is the pinnacle of the college lacrosse season, as the NCAA crowns its Divisions I, II and III Men's Lacrosse National Champions at Championship Weekend, the Towson University men's lacrosse team remembered its promise to those who support the military.
On Thursday afternoon, head coach Shawn Nadelen, in addition to his coaching staff of associate head coach Anthony Gilardi, assistant coach Dan Cocchi and volunteer assistant coach Neil Hutchinson, presented two checks to military support programs.
After selling 46 special Cascade R helmets, with patriotic-inspired decals, donated by Zima Gear, the men's lacrosse program donated $2,201.58 to both USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore and The Baltimore Station. The helmets were sold on TowsonTigers.com for $300 and worn during the Tigers' April 16 game against Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) rival Delaware. During the Military Appreciation Day game, the program raffled off a team-signed helmet, which brought in over $900 during the contest.
Representatives from both USO-Metro and The Baltimore Station were on hand to receive the donations from Nadelen and his staff, while the head coach gave a tour of the program's facilities after the presentation. Guests from the organizations got a personalized tour of Johnny Unitas® Stadium as well as the team's locker room and an insider's look at the team's Under Armour kit from the 2015-16 academic year.


You reach a certain point in the game when you become dependant on others. Now this is not a bad thing per sé, after all you are playing a massive multiplayer game, but for a solo-bird like myself, it feels like hitting a brick wall.
Because, at a certain point, you need to upgrade your gear. That is, getting all those +35 mods on your shiny armor. That requires either a lot of credits, or access to guildmates that are proficient in the Reverse Engineering skill and are willing to help you out, or another trader character to do all this yourself.
Like I said, I'm a solo-bird, meaning I don't have access to guildresources. I'm also new (back) to the game, so no millions of credits for me. I did however start selling a bunch of veteran rewards to cash-up my character. But I'm afraid that's not going to cover much when it comes to purchasing the RE components.
Getting my trader character up and running and start Reverse Engineering everything myself is a long and painfull process. Doable, but fun? I dunno.
Last there is the heroic jewelery that is pretty much mandatory if you want to do anything endgame-wise or plan to solo a lot. Again, the recent changes made them tradable, but without sufficient funds this is a no-go option.
That pretty much means, doing the heroic instances to get the necessary tokens and purchase them myself. Did I mention I'm not that thrilled about that? I find the combat in SWG to chaotic and difficult (because of the awful UI & targetting mechanisms).
I relocated my residence to Tantooine near Mos Eisley. Sure it's a bit rough, but it's the place to be these days.
Also, and I've mentioned this before, playing during EU times is pretty frustrating. The servers are US based, therefore often barren (or low populated) during my playhours.
I've also changed profession from smuggler to medic. The couple of times I did join other people to get something done, the Deathtroopers zone on Dathomir for example, it was pretty clear that good healing medics are a dying breed. In a group of 7 people, you can usually find 5 jedi, a commando and a medic that, for some reason, needs to be the first to start shooting at bunch of zombies, resulting in an early demise, leaving the group without … guess what … a healing guy.
The infested place on Dathomir. Make no mistake, these zombies will eat you for lunch and not feel bad about it!
Waiting to get to survivor nr. 3. We never got to him. The clone centre near the Quarantine OP works just fine, I can tell you that much.
Anyway, I'm puzzled to find out if the profession change can spice up my play. I really enjoy playing the Smuggler class. Some cool specials (pistol whip!) and the fact that smugglers are not that common for some reason. It's all Jedi, Commando and Spy.
If the brick wall feeling gets any stronger, I'm afraid my SWG return was of short nature.
A little sidenews. Finished two collections.
The feng shui pitch and roll collection. Now I can really decorate my house, wii.
Completed the shelving techniques collection. More itemspace is always welcome.

A year and a half after the first federal money arrived and a year after enabling legislation was passed, Nevada is still planning its Medicaid Buy-In program and has yet to serve a single person.
The Buy-In program is designed to make sure disabled people don't lose medical health benefits by returning to work. Program administrator John Alexander on Tuesday told the Legislative Committee on Health Care that loss of medical benefits is one of the biggest problems keeping the disabled from working.
He said the state received its first $625,000 grant to put together a program to continue Medicaid benefits for the working disabled in October 2000. His group has a total of four employees, has held 37 meetings around the state and put up a Web site on the subject, he said.
There is another $500,000 a year in federal funding available to Nevada to continue running the program.
But he admitted they have yet to begin providing services to anyone.
He was backed by disabled advocate Paul Gowins and John Sasser of Washoe Legal Aid who both said Alexander's group has been working hard to develop the program.
"The division has been very cooperative with me and others in the community," said Sasser pointing out that they even brought in a national expert from Massachusetts to help.
Alexander told the committee they will go to lawmakers for approval once all the details of the program are worked out. The enabling legislation allows them to seek approval to establish the program from the legislative Interim Finance Committee.
That prompted an objection from Assemblywoman Bonnie Parnell, D-Carson City, who said state or federal, it's still public money.
"When $625,000 was granted on Oct. 1, 2000, and there is still not a single individual being assisted, I have to say I have great concern," she said.
She amplified those remarks outside the meeting.
The Buy-In program was established to provide Medicaid coverage for the disabled who lose other coverage when they get a job.

That's how I've been feeling this week. But where did that come from? I've never been a skeptical person. I'm a glass-half-full kind of person.
But then again, all it takes for faith to fail is for disappointment to steal your hope and confidence. Can you relate?
And I ask myself, why is it that children are born with an unwavering confidence that their mommy and daddy can fix EVERYTHING that's wrong in their life?
// Do you remember the classic movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart?
Well, that's how I feel today. It's been weeks of trauma and crisis, and my heart is tired.
Starting with the brutal DROUGHT that has been ravaging South Africa for the past few years. It's critical now and we're desperate for rain!
Following that has been the crisis with our friend, JENNA, who suffered a massive cardiac arrest last week despite only being thirty-one years old and in 'perfect' health. We've prayed around the clock since that terrible moment when we heard that she'd just been resuscitated and was on her way to hospital.
And if that wasn't enough, the last two days have been devastating for South Africa. Across the nation, we've suffered an onslaught of horrendous STORMS, gale-force winds, flooding, and now raging FIRES—destroying property and taking lives.
You know, sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is simply cry to your Heavenly Father out of your weakness and desperation. He doesn't need fancy words or eloquent prayers, nor does He demand that you be strong or confident.
He's a Good Father who loves to take care of His children… you and me.
And He simply invites us to ASK for help. Sometimes faith looks like a little girl, innocently asking her Daddy to fix something that seems unfixable to the natural eye.
My friend, does this sound like you today? Are you desperate for help but are scared to be disappointed again?
When doctors predicted heart and organ failure, she actually experienced heart and organ renewal.
Her heart strength has improved from 18% to 40% in the last few days.
The have now inserted a defibrillator into her heart to help regulate the rhythm, and jump-start it should it stop again.
She is talking and walking, laughing and joking around. And although she is still confused as to what happened and where she is (with random gaps in her memory), this should improve with time.
The doctors can only shake their heads in amazement and use the word "unexplainable" to describe this obvious Miracle!
Please continue to pray for 100% healing for this beautiful wife and mother.
Every Friday, I join an inspiring group of writers to write for FIVE MINUTES on a one-word prompt. No editing. No revising. Just WRITE. This week, the prompt word was EXPECT.
I recognized that quote instantly: we watch that movie every year and practically have it memorized! I know that feeling, otherwise expressed as "Fix it Jesus" or "Jesus take the wheel"! 🙂 We can bring anything to our good Father because He loves us. Thanks so much for this reminder. I love it.
I love how creative God is in that He loves to speak to us, anytime and anyplace, and using anything to get our attention. So much comfort in simple faith prayers.
Bahahahaha…. do you ring bells on purpose? And sing "Buffalo Gal, won't you come out tonight…"?
I can so relate. What an amazing story of Gods goodness that Jenna embodies! Thanks be to God. I'm in front of you at the linkup this week.
Thanks Tara. He really is an amazing God! I'm so grateful that He WANTS to answer prayers so much more than we even want to pray them. He's such a Good Father!
Thanks so much for visiting today! I'm always delighted to see your comments here.
Oh, Shauna, I love this post! The fact that we can call our Heavenly Father "Daddy" is so precious, isn't it? Prayers for South Africa and your friend Jenna. "Paste it, Daddy." xoxo.
Thanks so much, my friend! There's been so much loss, but God has been uniting a nation through it all. Thank you for your continued prayers. So grateful for "Daddy" and His constant care.
I find that our expectations are paralleled with God's expectations.He redeems, He never wastes anything, He brings good out of bad situations, even if it is in us. He is growing us. Praise God for Jenna's recovery! #65 this week.
That's so good, Mary. He NEVER wastes anything, does he? I'm so grateful!
I appreciate you, my friend. Thanks for faithfully visiting me.. your encouragement means so much!
In terms of losing faith, yeah, especially when I listen to idiot 'prosperity gospel' or 'health and wealth' preachers.Name it and claim it is a perversion. God's no brass idol whose belly you rub to get your wishes.
I think back to Sierra Leone circa 2000, and the bodies we recovered in whose hands rosaries were still clutched. That's rock-bottom and tall-standing faith.
I'm so sorry, Andrew! I thought I replied to you already. Sheesh, I'm having my own gaps in memory.
God bless, my friend. I continue to pray for you too!
