Guide to Navigating Federal Emergency Management Agency and Small Business Administration Disaster Aid for Cultural Institutions
The information presented in the Guide to Navigating Federal Emergency Management Agency and Small Business Administration Disaster Aid for Cultural Institutions is meant as a general guide to seeking federal funding to aid in disaster response and recovery. The steps outlined here are based on current Federal policies, some of which are under review. The Heritage Preservation has tried to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. However, the Heritage Preservation assumes no liability for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions in this publication.
Heritage Preservation's Lessons Applied: Katrina and Cultural Heritage
Lessons Applied: Katrina and Cultural Heritage In October 2006, the Heritage Emergency National Task Force launched a "Lessons Applied" initiative designed to help Task Force members develop and implement projects to address the major issues that Katrina and other major storms brought to light. The goal was to convert analysis to action. New tools are posted to aid libraries, archives, museums, historic sites, and historic preservation and arts organizations in disaster preparedness and recovery.
Library of Congress's Learning from Katrina: Conservators' First-Person Accounts of Response and Recovery; Suggestions for Best Practice
Library of Congress's Learning from Katrina: Conservators' First-Person Accounts of Response and Recovery; Suggestions for Best Practice After Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and Louisiana in 2005, several organized groups sent conservators to help assess the damage created at many cultural institutions. Several federal agencies sent employees to evaluate federal sites, and training programs sent staff and students to help where needed. The American Association for State and Local History arranged to send two mobile units to assess the conditions of the states' collecting institutions. Staffed by museum professionals and conservation volunteers, the mobile units, under the auspices of the Heritage Emergency Assistance Recovery Teams (HEART) Assessment Program assessed as many cultural institutions as possible. The program, generously funded by the Watson-Brown Foundation of Thomson, Georgia, and the History Channel provided valuable on-site assistance and helped local staff to cope with beginning a recovery of their collections.
The Disaster Mitigation Planning Assistance Website
The Disaster Mitigation Planning Assistance Website provides disaster plans submitted by other libraries and archives as a model for developing your own plan. Resources are available in a database that can be searched geographically, by service, expert or supply. You can download your resullts into an Excel file to include in your own disaster plan. You are also invited to add resources to the database.
The site was started in 2006 and will continue to expand its offerings.
Ready.gov The U.S. Department of Homeland Security suggests we all take the steps necessary to become prepared. All the Ready America and Ready Business collateral materials, including brochures, Family Communication Plans and Business Emergency Plans are available for free at www.ready.gov.

Flood Mitigation Assistance Program
Flood Mitigation Assistance Program "FMA was created as part of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act (NFIRA) of 1994 (42 U.S.C. 4101) with the goal of reducing or eliminating claims under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Funding for the program is provided through the National Flood Insurance Fund.
"FMA provides funding to assist States and communities in implementing measures to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to buildings, manufactured homes, and other structures insurable under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)."
This program provides funding for state allocations for Planning, Project and Technical Assistance grants, and for administrative costs to support the FMA program.

dPlan: The Online Disaster-Planning Tool
What is dPlan?
dPlan: The Online Disaster-Planning Tool is a free Web-based fill-in-the-blank program for writing institutional disaster plans. It was created, tested, and refined by the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC), with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training.
How does dPlanwork?
Log on to www.dplan.org and enter your institutions' information into a template that guides you through the creation of a comprehensive disaster plan. Explore dPlan's features in an introductory demo on the homepage.
dPlan's easy-to-use program automatically supplies language for a final plan. The resulting printable, customized disaster plan contains checklists of all disaster procedures, salvage priorities, preventive maintenance schedules, current contact information for personnel, insurance and IT help, as well as a list of supply sources and emergency services.
Once completed, your password-protected plan is stored on a secure server so it can be updated on a regular basis. An automatic e-mail is sent every six months to remind you to update your plan.
Who needs dPlan?
According to the Heritage Health Index, produced by a partnership between Heritage Preservation and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, 80% of collecting institutions do not have an emergency plan that includes collections with staff trained to carry out the plan.
dPlan is designed to help institutions of all sizes:
- Small and medium-sized institutions that do not have in-house preservation staff
- University libraries, museum campuses, or statewide library systems that need to develop separate but related plans for multiple buildings, locations, or branches
- State agencies or professional associations that seek to structure training programs on disaster planning

The International Diabetes Federation(IDF) recognises the urgent need to reach a great number of healthcare providers with the best diabetes education materials to promote improved daily diabetes management and care skills and prevent disabling complications. Innovative, appropriate educational tools are key to engage and motivate all learners and facilitate effective learning.
To this effect, IDF has developed a Peer Leader Training Manual to train Peer Leaders (PL) to provide on-going diabetes self-management support(DSMS) as part of a larger study. Diabetes self-management education (DSME) has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes care. Multiple studies and meta-analyses have found DSME to be cost-effective and effective for improving metabolic and psychosocial outcomes, at least in the short term.
Because of the global epidemic of diabetes and the limited number of health professionals and other resources, it has been suggested that training peers to provide on-going support would increase the availability and access to DSMS.
The Peer Leader Training Manual was developed by Tricia Tang and Marth Funnell (University of Michigan, USA) during the implementation of their IDF BRIDGES-supported project (ST07-009).
BRIDGES is an IDF programme that sponsors translational research projects around the world. It is supported by an education grant from Lilly Diabetes.

(fludarabine) for Injection
FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION should be administered under the supervision of a qualified physician experienced in the use of antineoplastic therapy. FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION can severely suppress bone marrow function. When used at high doses in doseranging studies in patients with acute leukemia, FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION was associated with severe neurologic effects, including blindness, coma, and death. This severe central nervous system toxicity occurred in 36% of patients treated with doses approximately four times greater (96 mg/m²/day for 5-7 days) than the recommended dose. Similar severe central nervous system toxicity, including coma, seizures, agitation and confusion, has been reported in patients treated at doses in the range of the dose recommended for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Instances of life-threatening and sometimes fatal autoimmune phenomena such as hemolytic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia/thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Evans syndrome, and acquired hemophilia have been reported to occur after one or more cycles of treatment with FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION. Patients undergoing treatment with FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION should be evaluated and closely monitored for hemolysis.
In a clinical investigation using FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION in combination with pentostatin (deoxycoformycin) for the treatment of refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), there was an unacceptably high incidence of fatal pulmonary toxicity. Therefore, the use of FLUDARA (fludarabine) FOR INJECTION in combination with pentostatin is not recommended.
FLUDARA FOR INJECTION contains fludara (fludarabine) bine phosphate, a fluorinated nucleotide analog of the antiviral agent vidarabine, 9-p-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A) that is relatively resistant to deamination by adenosine deaminase. Each vial of sterile lyophilized solid cake contains 50 mg of the active ingredient fludara (fludarabine) bine phosphate, 50 mg of mannitol, and sodium hydroxide to adjust pH to 7.7. The pH range for the final product is 7.2-8.2. Reconstitution with 2 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, results in a solution containing 25 mg/mL of fludara (fludarabine) bine phosphate intended for intravenous administration.
The chemical name for fludara (fludarabine) bine phosphate is 9H-Purin-6-amine, 2-fluoro-9-(5-0-phosphono- 0-D-arabino-furanosyl) (2-fluoro-ara-AMP). The molecular formula of fludara (fludarabine) bine phosphate is C10H13FN5O7P (MW 365.2) and the structure is:
What are the possible side effects of fludarabine (Fludara)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- signs of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, flu symptoms, easy bruising or bleeding (nosebleeds, bleeding gums), loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, mouth sores, or unusual weakness;
- pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine;
- cough with yellow or green mucus, stabbing chest pain, feeling short of...

What are the precautions when taking fludarabine (Fludara)?
Before using fludarabine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: current infections, certain virus illnesses (herpes, chickenpox), blood disorders (e.g., anemia, clotting problems), kidney problems.
Do not have immunizations/vaccinations without the consent of your doctor, and avoid contact with people who have recently received oral polio vaccine or flu vaccine inhaled through the nose.
Wash your hands well to prevent the spread of infections. Avoid contact with people who have illnesses that may spread to others...

Story highlights
- Wadi Rum, nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Middle East, is a Unesco World Heritage site in Jordan
- The rugged desert wilderness is a traditional home of nomadic Bedouin shepherds
- The most famous foreigner ever traversed this desert is British army officer T.E. Lawrence
- Lawrence's adventure was dramatized in the movie "Lawrence of Arabia," which was partly shot in Wadi Rum
Deep in the remote deserts of southern Jordan, not far from the border with Saudi Arabia, lies Wadi Rum one of the world's most stunning natural wonders.
Nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Middle East, the rugged desert area covers 720 square kilometers and comprises geographical wonders from narrow gorges to towering cliffs and massive caverns.
It has provided a backdrop for science-fiction films like "Red Planet," starring Val Kilmer, and Ridley Scott's "Promotheus." But perhaps the most famous foreigner to traverse through Wadi Rum, and put this desert on the world map, was British army officer T.E. Lawrence. Imortalized by Peter O'Toole in the 1962 movie "Lawrence of Arabia", fittingly parts of the Hollywood classic were filmed in the area.
But long before Hollywood celebrities and tourists descended on this UNESCO World Heritage site, its red sands have, for centuries, been the home of nomadic Bedouin shepherds.
With scorching sunshine by day, cold winds at night and little to no water, the Bedouins' desert life has been all about survival.
"Most people believe that the Bedouins are living a romantic life, but in fact, it is a very tough life," says Yousef Zreagat, Jordan's tourism expert.
Hundreds of thousands of foreigners visit Wadi Rum each year. They hire either a four-wheel drive vehicle or a camel to explore the government-protected desert.
Some stay overnight in Bedouin camps, where they can enjoy traditional Bedouin meals. Famed for their hospitality, the Bedouins often invite visitors to their tent homes to share mint tea or cardamom coffee, while sitting by the fire under a starry night sky.
Bedouin life in Wadi Rum is increasingly intertwined with the tourism business. Attayak Zalabia, 45, works as a tour guide and runs a camp for visitors.
At his camp site, Zalabia often prepares home-cooked traditional dishes, like zarb, marinated sheep cooked under the desert sand -- the so-called "sand oven" -- for his guests.
It is prepared fresh, with the meat sourced from Zalabia's own flock of sheep.
"You need to choose younger sheep, or young goats," he says. "The meat is softer than old sheep."
Zalabia's forefathers were among the tribesmen who fought along Lawrence in the 1916-1918 Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. But today's Bedouins are facing a new battle: preserving their culture and identity.
Young boys, like Zalabia's son Zeid, prefer playing video games to tending camels and hunting, much to the chagrin of the older generation. But Zalabia insists the 10-year-old should learn the ways of the desert.
"If children grow up in the city, you sometimes find them soft," he says. "And Bedouins like the boys to be strong for the desert."

Binghamton University's teacher preparation program accredited
Binghamton University's Division of Education has become the first in the SUNY System to receive accreditation from the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), one of three national accrediting agencies for teacher preparation programs.
The TEAC Accreditation Committee recently notified Ernest Rose, dean of the School of Education and Human Development, that the "teacher education program at the State University of New York at Binghamton is granted Initial Accreditation status."
"It's a validation of the excellence of our teacher education programs," said Rose. "More and more, students will be looking to make sure that the institutions they enroll in are nationally accredited, because that means something on their resume -- that they've come from a program that has a national reputation for quality," he said.
According to Robert Carpenter, director of the Division of Education, the TEAC accreditation committee unanimously approved the accreditation for five years. "This is complete accreditation for the longest possible period of time," he said. "This is the best case scenario we could have hoped for."
Carpenter credited the faculty for making the process go smoothly. "We made our claims and went about proving them to the accrediting agency's satisfaction," he said. "It's really very gratifying. We have 15 different programs in teacher preparation and all 15 of them were successfully defended and accredited."
The accrediting process was extensive. "Administrators from local schools and teachers from the community were interviewed, there were site visits where accreditors attended classes on campus and alumni were surveyed," Carpenter said.

Salmon River 9/19-9/23
Took a drive up to Pulaski last week to see what was going on at the Salmon River. My first time there although I have fished western ontario tribs in the past for steel/browns later in the fall.
Mission: fool some salmon on my 9wt and fish for chrome.
I had never fished here for Kings before so I was surprised to find out that they are less agressive than the other GL species I have encountered in the past. This may be from the low water conditions or the incredible crowds that lined the banks of nearly every hole in the river. We also were not fishing "fresh run" fish - they had been in the river for the better part of a week. To call these fish spooky would be a gross understatement.
I will from now on refer to this as the "Snaggin' River" as I was appalled by the number of "fishermen" who hailed from just about everywhere to line, lift or flat-out snag their trophy in the back. What surprised me the most was to find registered guides doing the same thing :tsk_tsk: . Then they would play the fish to exhaustion rather than just break it off and give it a chance to get upstream.
Thank god for the less crowded fly only sections where my friend and I were able to actually see the fish snap at our flies and legally hooked and released a couple of 20 pounders (which did fight like hell and tested our drags and 10 pound tippets - very exciting). These fish were both large males with big kypes and looked a little fresher than the rest of their doomed compadres.
Saw one steelhead total for 4 days of fishing :confused:
In the future, I'll stick with the more agressive browns and steel of the western tribs. Maybe these salmon behave differently when they are fresh out of the lake or the water is higher, but for me, this just wasn't flyfishing.
I take it that you saw the famous snagging pattern, the J-plug emerger. It catches most of its fish on the rise......:eek:
Glad you got some fish. I've had a few people try to get me out there since I've moved to my current location, but it just hasn't intrigued me enough yet. Hearing about the crowds doesn't make it any more appealing either.
Mark -
The western tribs are actually pretty cool. Once the weather gets cold and deer season is in full swing the crowds will dissipate.
Yes there were J-plugs flying across the river like ammunition. Especially at the appropriately named "sportsman's pool":hehe:
Saw an ambulance take one guy away who apparently had stuck one into the back of his head on the cast. Guess it's true what they say about reaping what you sow :rolleyes:
round my neck of the woods, people assume that since you're a flyfisherman you have some mystical druid-like understanding of the river.
I've had guys almost angry at me when i don't know where the fish are holding. sheesh
Yep thats what I have heard about the Salmon from my east coast friends. Thought it had changed though , but I guess not.
Better to go there after hunting season starts in October, crowds start to thin out then like out here in Michigan and Wisconsin country. Just make sure you wear some hunter orange though when walking the river because many of those guys that were snagging salmon in September are now carrying guns in October and November, hunting.
I bet December would be good up on the Salmon from what I have heard.
Salmon stop biting the closer they get to their spawning grounds. A much lesser percentage will bite then when they first enter the rivers. But some of them will. I have had dying ones bite a fly and others in great shape totally ignore it. Hard to figure out which ones will bite.
Salmon river....NY's best kept secret....
This past weekend I had the privlidge to accompany Big Dave on New York's best kept secret....the Salmon River;) . I believe Dave pretty much summed up the entire experience in his post. All I can say is that this fishery, under the conditions that we were dealt: low water, high temps, and EXTREME fishing pressure seemed at least to me a horrible joke. What surprised me the most was the complacency of some of the local tackle/fly shops to go along with the lie that this is/was a real SPORT fishery.(At least in terms of the "fabled" salmon fishery.)
As Dave posted we each managed to fair hook a few fish each and despite all my best efforts I even landed one. You really had to work for these opportunities which were few and far between!
I should have realized what was in store for Dave and I when on the first night at the motel I was assaulted by someone's errant egg hook that had somehow found its way into my bed spread! All I can say is that I am glad it was only my knee that got impaled!
I believe the town of Pulaski should adopt this as its motto... "If you ain't draggin...then you ain't snaggin' "
If you all ever go again go fish the DSR
Fishing up river for salmon is unnerving at best. The chinnoks are crusty, frieghtened and have been snagged and fought a few times each. If your lucky you might find a steelie or some coho's.
I always fish the DSR. It's costs you 20.00 for admission per day which is the only downside. It is right above the estuary so the fish are fresh and for the most part unadulturated. When a fresh run is comming through even the chinnoks will come agressively to the fly. One of the most attractive aspects is that the river is patroled by employees who enforce their no snagging policy fairly well. Plus J-plugs aren't allowed.
I got my trip schelduled for next week but know I hearing reports that the water will be shut off to 0 cfs which doesn't sound good. I might have to go somewhere else or cancel my trib. Please rain real hard!!
Oh yes the j-plug....
We debated all weekend whether or not to fish the DSR section of the river. However we heard a number of discouraging reports from the lower sections. Our attempts to locate good numbers of fish throughout the rest of the river were futile. It seemed that the only concentrations of fish were in the deeper pools and thus the domain of the J-pluggers!
I have no doubt that fresh run fish behave much differently than those that have been in the system for a while. I only had six or seven opportunities all weekend(Thur-Sat.) in which I observed the fish(mostly Kings) strike my offering. I hesitate to even call it a strike. It seemed more like an annoyed snap than anything else. Of those six or seven I only managed to land one due to my ??ineptness?? and the use of seven pound fluorocarbon.
Pulaski sounds worse than our snagger locations. This why I do not go near these places until after the salmon run is essentially done and hunting season is underway. Michigan rivers tend to get reasonable from late october on.
It seems even though snagging is illegal now in all great lakes and PNW states that it is still rampant and non controllable by the DNRs.
Yes I can beleive guides snagging.
I bet they donot have this problem in European salmon rivers, Malcolm do they draw and quarter snaggers these days or perhaps the rack ?
New York DEC...
We did see a few of New York's DEC officers on the river on Saturday.(All four of them!) All I can say is that these men in green have a formidable and scary task in front of them. We witnessed them writing up a group of "outstanding" sportsman for who knows what offense. Some of the characters I came in contact with on the river were more than a little shady(and more than a little drunk) if you get my drift.
The funny thing about the J-plug is that according to those I talked to...this devilish lure(Can you even call it that?) will go out of "season" at the end of September. My understanding about the regs. is that snagging is outlawed on all Great Lake tribs. in New York at ALL times. Why then is it necessary to phase out the J-plug if it is in fact a legitamate means to catch these river salmon? :confused: Think about it!
Yes those DEC officers have one tough job dealing with those characters, I have seen some real losers which I would not be on the river with at night for any amount of fish.
Actually, I have stayed far away from the areas they congregate in for the past 20 years. It is just not worth my time to be near them nor fish when they are around.
Never seen a J-Plug used out here but then again I have not kept up on the latest snagging techniques. Its a shame this type of behavior cannot be adequately controlled by the DNR departments.
Go back to the Salmon in the dead of winter for steelhead bet the snaggers will be not around, there beer will get cold or whatever else they need to have a good time, etc...
Its because of these lower ethic people they I gave up hunting 30 years ago. Imagine running into these types of guys in the woods when they have a rifle in their hand, I did and decided it was not worth the risk any longer.
All J-Plugs should be burned.
Raid tackle shops, homes, campgrounds, pile them up and set them on fire.
I was actually at a shop in town and overheard an employee touting the j-plug as a legal means of snagging. "They die anyway might as well snag them." We don't spend any money their now.
Also, heard of stories where guides have told their clients that "the kings don't bite and that this is how you have to hook 'em" What a joke!
How about setting up those swimming pools full of nasty finless hatchery trout and bluegills right out side of the bars and tackle shops so all the snaggers can sit in lawn chairs and have at it. Get rid of the kings also so they are not tempted to get near the river. Steelhead, Cohos and a few Atlatics will do just fine.
Sleepy Weasel,
Hey, thats a great idea we could also offer advanced snagging videos with seductive ladys perhaps, maybe a tractor pull or swamp buggy race track outside the bar, etc... I think we have something here, anything to keep them away from our rivers and andramous fish runs.
Have to check with UK members of the board , do they have these problems over there with salmon runs and if not how to they prevent it.
I think as long as there are large salmon runs we are going to have this problem though.
I think the intentional snagging of an Atlantic salmon is means for a hanging.

Nice idea. Great for the wife!
$2.99 for a tweak that that saves you at most 5 button presses? Pass...
iOS already does!
meh, it is to pricy for a tweak that requires your password; and which you can update by doing two steps.
People who are complaining about the price would complain if it was $.99 saying it should be free.
It saves you a lot more than 5 keystrokes... sometimes I update several time per day. It just seems like an endless task of updating that never gets done. This tweak is perfect for me. Without question, it's worth the price.
I take the exact opposite tack from this tweak on App Store Updates. I never update until I've read the Reviews, given that so many "updates" are real clunkers. So Auto Updating is the last thing I'd want.
As a result, I used and loved the tweak Update Hider, but alas it hasn't been updated for iOS 6.

This entry was posted using Chromium as packaged for Debian. Thus far, Chromium has been much, much nicer than Chrome, mainly because Chrome ignores my fontconfig settings (which specify Linux Libertine serif fonts everywhere), while Chromium obeys them. I even have hope that I can make the ^A and ^E text edit keys work right. After that, maybe getting it to render standard ligatures (such as "ffi", "Qu", and "Th", and on my system, "st" and "ct") might even be possible. Firefox does it.
As far as I have been able to determine, Intel Arrandale support (needed for the Dell Latitude e6510 with 1920x1080 display) in the drm-intel-next branch off 2.6.38-rc7 is now fully functional, including suspend/resume, gnome-display-properties, XVideo, GL, and DPMS blanking. Apparently it's all expected to end up in 2.6.39, none too soon. Maybe Sandy Bridge support will be a little more timely. I'm guessing that the reason it's so hard is that the win32 driver writers were able to pester the hardware people when the docs were ambiguous, but by the time the Linux drivers are to be written, they've all moved on to other projects, and anyway can't remember what-all bugs their design shipped with.
I was almost won over by Apenwarr's encomium for Etherpad, and I asked about getting it installed at work to use instead of Google Docs, which is getting increasingly hard to tolerate. Unfortunately, it appears to be implemented in Java and Scala, which (for very good and sound reasons!) they would prefer not to put on their nice clean, well-functioning servers. So, now I'm looking for an Etherpad workalike written in something reasonable, e.g. C++. Then LWN spills the beans on something called "Fossil", an integrated bug-tracker, wiki, and distributed version control system, and I start to think I need that too. But maybe what I really need is a fork of Fossil with an Etherpaddy wiki, a Traccy bug tracker, and a Git back end. In the meantime, I struggle with Review Board's intolerance of Git diffs. Apparently you have to pipe
Git's diff output through
with $1 the old svn revision number.sed \
-e "s/^--- a\/\(.*\)/--- \1 (revision $*)/" \
-e "s/^+++ b\/\(.*\)/+++ \1 (working copy)/" \
-e "s/^diff --git [^[:space:]]* .\//Index: /" \
-e "s/^index.*/===================================================================/"
Speaking of Avery, I'm mystified why he thinks rigorously defensible parsing of arithmetic expressions is somehow difficult or messy. Just about every yacc or recursive-descent example I've ever seen included a clean and complete arithmetic parser, with nice term-and-factor precedence handling. What am I missing? Am I improperly presuming sanity?

|John Desjardins
Thanks Brad, I was out last week but it was one of those trips where you can't do anything right and I didn't have the time for fishing . A trip in September is a possibility if some technical problems get ironed out.
Sorry to hear about the fires. Every pond & lake I saw in Colorado showed the effects of the drought. The day I left I saw a picture of the shoreline of Cheeseman reservoir in the paper and it looked like it was 20+ feet below normal.
PM me your address at the very least I owe you some SW flies for your help.
John D
John, I found a great little spot close to Ft. Collins for you to try out. Any trips planned in the future. On another note the big elk fire is only about 15 miles from my house. Last night on the way home you could see the flames. A slurry bomber crashed fighting that fire last night. It has really been a bad fire year.

Immigration Reform Is Happening
In a new piece for Foreign Policy, CFR Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies Shannon O'Neil argues that, despite federal inaction, immigration reform is happening at the state and local levels. In 2013 alone, 45 of the 50 state legislatures passed over four-hundred immigration-related laws and resolutions. O'Neil notes that although a small number were bills that made life more difficult for undocumented immigrants, many others were designed to integrate them more easily into local communities. However, while this push is having real and positive effects for local economies, the wider immigration problem cannot be solved without federal action, she explains.

"I've been unfaithful to my wife," Sanford told a news conference in Columbia, the state capital. "I developed a relationship with what started as a dear, dear friend from Argentina."
His voice choking at times, Sanford apologized to his wife and four sons, his staff and supporters, and said he would resign immediately as head of the Republican Governors Association.
Dog-gonnit!! I just know in my heart that Clinton is responsible for yet another affair! At least this one was with a woman. That proves that Clinton influenced it, right? These poor republican family-oriented men, who I pattern my morals after! As long as he's against gay marriage, I can overlook him cheating on his wife and four sons. I'm sure they understand that God has a plan for everything, including this. God bless the SC gov and senator Ensign. At least it was a "dear, dear friend"...that helps make it ok, right?

New Dive Sights In A New Dive Site

The site has six islands, even though haa actually means five in Thai - we dived the shallow
reef between the islands and the fantastic 'Cathedral' cave. When you enter this tunnel, there's
an opportunity to surface inside. The air inside is exchanged twice a day with the tidal flow
and when you surface inside, the current continues, forming condensation in the air inside with
each 'breath'
As we improve our diving skills and get better at buoyancy control, things slow down and it's easier to identify marine life. We had many 'new sights' which are always good: the black and white banded sea snake (very strange looking); Christmas Tree Worms in various colours that hang out on the coral wrapped in a conical shape and hide at any sign of strange divers staring at them; nudibranchs of different sizes and colours with their lungs clearly visible on the outside (from which they derive their name), a cornet fish with a long thin snout, masked porcupine fish, white eyed moray eel and a royal-blue jewel urchin. All that together with the cave meant for a great day diving.

|NGA Home Home Themes Education Compare Works Search
Group: Forces of Nature
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Cliff walk at Pourville
Date Made: 1882
Lender: Art Institute of Chicago
Credit Line: Mr and Mrs Larned Coburn Memorial Collection digital image © 2000 The Art Institute of Chicago. All Rights Reserved
Monet owned Hiroshige's triptych, Evening view of eight famous sites at Kanazawa, and two sheets from another Hiroshige triptych Mountains and rivers of the Kiso Road. In these works the Japanese artist has evoked vast space. Both have a grandeur of scale and an almost unearthly calm that suggests the indifference of nature to the tiny human constructions and activities that accent their surfaces. Monet's growing interest in painting the grand and impersonal forces of nature has something in common with these works. His coastal paintings of the early 1880s still refer to human presence: two women venture to the edge of the precipice in Cliff walk at Pourville; the crests of the wave race to the coast, while the wind pulls at the dresses, fills the sails and sends clouds scurrying across the sky. There are similarities in the intersecting forces of rearing cliffs and sails on the horizontal stretch of sea far below in Hiroshige's Yui, Satta Pass.
Many of Monet's coastal paintings contain no human presence. Painting thus became a relationship between the painter and nature rather than a depiction of human activities in nature. This relationship suggests that of the literati who escaped society and established themselves in tiny huts on the mountains or above the sea to contemplate nature. There was a growing affinity between Monet's marines and literati paintings, with their vast misty distances, precipitous cliffs, great stretches of water and cabins nestling at the base of a precipice or suspended over a void. The prosaic customs officer's cabin — one of thirteen paintings by Monet on this motif — makes an ironic contrast with the contemplative role of the pavilions of the literati. Nevertheless, Monet's use of calligraphic brushstrokes to represent the cabin, the waves racing to the shore and the winds whipping up the grasses, suggest that the man-made structure too is part of a nature that is ceaselessly mobile, continuously changing and completely alive.
Monet could have found even more telling representations of almost infinite space in kakemono, the hanging scrolls, which were now numerous in Paris.25 He is said to have owned one himself, but it is no longer at Giverny, and cannot be identified. In Ippo's Landscape. Mountains and lake scenery in moonlight, rocks, cliffs and peaks rear up on the left side of the painting. Space is suggested not by consistent perspective but by the superimposition of one sharp shape against the next. The composition keeps the eye in constant movement: it is drawn down to the sea at the base of the painting; swings upward to explore the jagged rocks of the headland, behind which it discovers a pavilion; it seeks to penetrate the clouds that veil the next bay; then climbs up the sharp-edged cliffs and rises to the pale peaks beyond, or falls to the hazy bay below. Monet's paintings of the coast embody a similar mobility of vision, and have similar compositions based on the interweaving of rearing cliffs or jagged rocks, atmospheric haze and water.

Beating the Back-To-School Budget Blues
by Ami Elizabeth Reeves
Related Articles
4 Ways Back to School Shopping Can Improve Your Christmas
Easy and Budget-Friendly Back to School Lunch Ideas
After an early-August romp through a major department store, a giant office supply retailer, and a discount shoe hawker, I'd spent over three hundred dollars on my sixth grader's back-to-school necessities. His requirements were nothing extraordinary: shirts and pants, a few shorts, shoes, backpack, paper and pencils. I'd diligently watched the Sunday sale papers and clipped coupons with the best of intentions, making lists and strategizing for the best possible fiscal outcome. Unfortunately, the enormity of school shopping can overwhelm all but the most carefully laid plans.
Here are six secrets I've come up with that have helped whittle that shocker of an August credit card bill (or checking account balance) down to a more reasonable amount:
1. Set Aside Early
Calculate the average total amount spent in previous years on back-to-school items for all children. Divide the final figure by fifty-two and subtract this dollar amount from your checkbook register once a week. It's much easier to "pay" five or ten bucks every Friday instead of coughing up a few hundred dollars in August.
Set up a spreadsheet to monitor this set-aside money. If it's too tempting to know it's still in your account, cash a check every week for the amount needed and put the bills in a coffee can. Alternatively, take the plunge and open a savings account, earning interest on this money as an added benefit.
2. The Thrill of the Hunt
Depending on how you look at it, today's relaxed fashion styles are a blessing! Thrift-store finds are "in" and the more worn, the better. Also check these stores for expensive brands at drastically reduced prices. A wash and iron routine can transform bargains into look-alike mall purchases.
Hunt down alternative clothing sources. Dry cleaners sell items that have been left too long. Since they are looking to recoup their laundering costs, not to profit in the retail clothing business, this means bottom-dollar prices for nice, clean clothes.
Scout outlet malls for clothing. Don't be fooled by the word "outlet." A true outlet store is packed with wall-to-wall merchandise, some with missing buttons, damaged zippers, holes, or stains. Examine all clothing carefully and determine if the defect is fixable. Don't forget to check out upscale consignment stores for name brand buys as well.
3. Long Live DIY
Join the Do-It-Yourself craze and learn to sew. Custom make dresses, shirts, skirts, and shorts for your kids. Their tailor-made clothes will fit perfectly and they can pick out their favorite patterns and colors. Purchase material on sale for under two dollars per yard to really rake in the savings. Don't own a sewing machine? Search yard sales and flea markets for a working model and have a repair shop clean it and overhaul any glitches. The money contributed toward a decent older sewing machine, a tune-up, and a few classes will be less than the price tag of a Gap outfit.
4. These Shoes Are Made For Walking
Visit shoe retailers who offer two for one deals. Even buy one, get another half-off works in your favor. In order to shop comparatively, keep a close eye on Sunday newspaper ads the month before you plan to buy shoes.
Just when you think you've got the shoe situation under control, your son decides he's joining athletics this year. Now add the price of basketball, soccer, or track shoes into the mix! For good quality athletic shoes and cleats, nothing beats a sporting goods consignment store. These establishments buy used sports equipment and resell at a much lower price than other retailers. Return the shoes or athletic gear at the end of the season for a little of your money back.
If you ever run across a fabulous deal on a pair of shoes that are too big for your kids' feet, buy them anyway! Nike, Adidas, and Reebok have been around for years and will most likely continue to be popular until your child grows into his shoes.
5. Reading, Writing, & Arithmetic
The dreaded school supplies. Purchase as many goods as you can from stores with "$1 or Less" on their signs. Stock up on paper, notebooks, binders, and pens in September when Wal-Mart and K-Mart have clearance-tagged the school supply aisle to make room for Halloween costumes.
If your child needs a special calculator for trigonometry or a set of charcoals for Still Life 101, go ahead and buy the best you can afford. These are items your kids can use for many semesters to come. I haven't had to spend money on this particular school supply because I paid top dollar over a decade ago and took good care of it.
6. Leap of Faith
Suppose your kids would never go for thrift-store buys or handmade clothes. Why not give them a taste of budgeting? If your children are at least twelve years old, here's one way to solve the tug-of-war when it comes to spending money on school clothing and supplies.
Give them the money you've set aside. That's right, hand it over. If Suzie insists she'll die without a certain seventy-five-dollar pair of jeans, let her make the purchase. Then she has to understand the rest of the money she's holding, whether it's twenty bucks or a hundred, has to be stretched to include everything else she needs. Watch your children become creative.
Giving in means a lesson lost so stand firm! If your son buys two items of clothing and runs out of money, he'll have to buy paper and notebooks with his allowance or mowing money. If your daughter chooses to buy an outrageously expensive pair of shoes and a few notebooks and has twelve cents left, that's all she gets. Next year, they will think much longer and harder about what to buy.
Use all of these ideas or just one, depending on your children's personalities, your financial goals, and the family's income. The idea is to control your spending instead of letting spending control you every August.

The planet Earth has proven to be too limiting for our awesome community of panorama photographers. We're getting an increasing number of submissions that depict locations either not on Earth (like Mars, the Moon, and Outer Space in general) or do not realistically represent a geographic location on Earth (either because they have too many special effects or are computer generated) and hence don't strictly qualify for our Panoramic World project.
But many of these panoramas are extremely beautiful or popular of both.
So, in order to accommodate our esteemed photographers and the huge audience that they attract to 360Cities with their panoramas, we've created a new section (we call it an "area") called "Out of this World" for panoramas like these.
Here you have some examples of Out of this World panoramas:
Tribute to Escher. Panorama made by Nico Roig
Mars Panorama – Curiosity rover: Martian solar day 177. Panorama made by Andrew Bodrov
Back in the Lab. Panorama made by Jake Galm
You can check more panoramas like these in our "Out of this World" area or type this tag in the search box on the website: @tags out_of_this_world.
Any 360Cities member can upload an Out of this World panorama: Just upload a pano and click the "This pano is Out of this World" checkbox. Your panorama will be reviewed before being sent out of this world.

Increased Maritime Activity Highlights Need for National Ocean Policy
Posted On January 8, 2013 by Susan Olcott
This post originally appeared on gCaptain.
This New Year comes with new opportunities – as well as the potential for conflicts – in the open ocean.
In 2013, the US federal government will offer competitive lease sales for offshore wind farms in the waters off of Virginia, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Considering the impact these sites could have on existing ocean industries, like shipping lanes or port traffic, the need for coordination and collaboration is vital. The National Ocean Policy aims to address those concerns.
The Policy – which was adopted in 2010, with an implementation plan expected soon – provides guidance in making decisions that will protect the United States' ocean, waterways and coastlines. More than 20 federal agencies and over 140 laws address our coasts and the ocean, often in competing and conflicting ways. The policy improves collaboration and coordination and empowers the states to have a greater say in federal decision-making.

Building Contractors Switch to Polyether-Based
Sealants and Adhesives for Performance,
Sealants and Adhesives for Performance,
Safety and Low VOCs
With key advantages over urethane and silicone-based options,
polyether-based products are impacting the entire building envelope
– from rooftop to pavement.
Polyether-based sealants and adhesives, the advanced formulation polymers that have overtaken urethane and silicone products in Japan and Europe, are becoming the new standard among U.S. architects and contractors for use throughout the entire building envelope from foundation to roof.
Since being designated by the Adhesive Sealant Council as a unique category of products last year, the use of polyether-based sealants has nearly doubled for both new construction and repair work. The driving forces behind this increased popularity are the superior performance and environmental compliance characteristics of polyether based sealants and adhesives compared with many urethane- and silicone-type products.
"Polyether-based adhesives and sealants are water-cured, and contain no solvents, explains engineering consultant Richard Boone, president of Construction Support Services (Centennial, CO). "Therefore they have no shrinkage, possess excellent adhesion properties and are very durable yet retain excellent flexibility."
And because these advanced sealants and adhesives contain no solvents, they produce very few VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). That is not only an environmental benefit, but also makes polyether-based products compliant with increasingly stringent local and state VOC regulations.
VOCs are substances that evaporate into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change, chronic respiratory disorders and cancer. Many sealants that produce VOCs are also flammable, produce irritating odors and tend to degrade over time.
Rewriting the book
Boone, a longtime engineer, specifier and compounder, chairs the committee that is chartered to develop an ASTM standard for polyether-based sealing materials.
Boone says that although the initial acceptance of polyether-based adhesives and sealants was based on roof work, these products are now increasingly popular wherever there are joints, seams or laminations, including wall panels, windows, doors, pavements and counter tops.
"The polyether backbone, which is a long-chain hydrocarbon, is very stable," explains Boone. "The long chain makes it inherently resistant to the effects of weather, so you don't need to mix in a lot of other stabilizing chemicals to make it durable. The water-based cure system creates a very strong bond, so these polyether sealants and adhesives will adhere to virtually all surfaces. That property enables these products to hold tight and makes them applicable to seams and joints throughout construction and repair projects."
Once a polyether-based sealant or adhesive is applied, it reacts with moisture in the air and cross-links to form a tough, long lasting, flexible chain. It cures rapidly, adheres to a wide range of materials, meets the toughest standards for joint movement, won't shrink and won't suntan.
Boone cites the work of Chem Link Advanced Architectural Products (Schoolcraft, MI) in developing and popularizing the use of polyether compounds throughout the United States and the development of a variety of products that address assorted adhesive and sealant requirements throughout the building envelope.
"What Chem Link has done is take a polymer that is known for having an excellent basis for adhesives and sealants and then created formulas that allow you to do an enormous amount of different tasks very well," Boone explains. "By careful compounding and blending of different ingredients, the company has virtually rewritten the book, developing a range of products that offer distinct advantages for applications involving seams throughout the building structure."
No more shrinkage
"Our initial interest in polyether-based adhesives and sealants was the fact that they don't shrink, as many solvent-based urethane and silicone products do," says Paul Graham of manufacturers' rep firm Moore Graham Sales, Inc. (Granbury, TX), "If they shrink, they leak, because water simply runs behind the material. And, of course, that causes major damage and other problems."
Polyether-based adhesives and sealants are cured by water it draws from the air, so there are no solvents to evaporate and cause shrinkage. Because these products cure from the top down and the bottom up, they are watertight and fairly durable within 10-20 minutes, though they typically take two to three weeks to completely cure when, as Graham notes, they become hard as a hockey puck but remain "remarkably" flexible.
"The material is also easy to work with, seals better and lasts longer. We have not had a single callback, which is notable in our industry," he said.
The power of green
Graham adds that although the polyether adhesives and sealants were initially popular because of their superior performance properties, its no-solvent chemistry has added to sales more recently.
"The green aspect of the polyether-based, one-part product wasn't so important in the past, but it is important now," confirms Boone. "In the case of the Chem Link products, you're using material that is 100 percent solid. You are dealing with no solvent release, almost no VOCs and no objectionable odors. You can safely work with these materials inside the building as well as outside."
Boone adds that using these products contractors don't have to worry about confined spaces, flammability or that they will contaminate some other material. "These polyether-based materials are very safe for the worker in the work environment and then ultimately safe for the building occupants both during and after construction," he said.

I believe the overall tax rate in Sweden is also quite high.
Perhaps the governments of other countries are more efficient than the U.S. government? I believe that the costs of Medicare greatly exceeded what was anticipated when the program was started.
One lesson I think we should have learned, when money must pass through a bureaucracy before actually getting to the end of the pipeline, there is a lot of room for the money to be used inefficiently.

My buddy in WA got the rest of the EU wave I needed so any that I find at retail can go to you guys.
My buddy in WA got the rest of the EU wave I needed so any that I find at retail can go to you guys.
Kool. Looking for a Darktrooper. Got 2 EU from a local, that i still need to pick up, and the other 3 are pending in a large trade my friend Swspiffy is orchestrating. Plmk.
I hope the point comes, esp. with the $5 sale still going, that scalpers get oversaturated & people stop buying from ebay. Thanks all the people buying on ebay -supporting the scalpers & makin it harder for everyone!!!!!!!
Last edited by bikerscout; 05-15-2010 at 07:30 AM. Reason: addz
I need Clone Wars figures now. I am done with the EU wave and have extra Shaak-Ti's (2) that I'll probably be returning to the store.
Because of friends' efforts to find me figures, I may have 4 extra Jainas and 3 extra Jacens, too.
Anyway, the Clone Wars figures I need help with are:
(1) TX-20 Droid
(5) Talz (the big white furry alien - forgot the character's name)
(4) Firefighter Battle Droids
The first two do not seem to be in the cases my TRU is receiving and the other stores are not getting figures at the moment.
I'm sure they will be plentiful later, but right now they're the only figures I'm missing.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Has anyone here in socal seen the Talz fig or Sidious or TX-20 from CW? I haven't seen them up here either, Tycho.
I've seen the firefighter droid a couple times hanging out, but never the others.
Looks like they were only in wave 12 CW, and dropped from wave 13, which is all I've seen at TRU. I've not seen CW at Target since the Aayla/Hondo wave months back. Haven't done much Wal-Mart, but never saw anything there either CW wise.
Did our area skip those figs? I really wanted a couple Talz figs too.
i can do up some FF droids if i see them Tycho. TX-20 and Thi sen (talz guy) will be harder to find though. I think i got really lucky when i found him. The only good result of going out non-stop trying to look for EU wave. (still haven't seen any yet, but have a few pending).
Dunno anyone who's seen Thi sen. What a shame. (&*%&#$in Hot wheels guys!!!!!! )
People that have found Thi-Sen, mostly in other states it seems, seemed to have found them at Walmart.
Hmm.. good to know. Weird thing i noticed at LF TRU yesterday. There were like 10+ sets of each TFU packs on the shelf on Tues., when i went for my appt. at Costco. Yesterday night, there were none. (Actually 1 pack by the evolutions & 1 pack on the other side). I'm chalking this up to 'scalpation.' What do u guys think??
Last edited by bikerscout; 05-16-2010 at 12:41 AM. Reason: movage
I'm seeing TFU figure packs sit for a few days before selling out. But the TRU sale (until July 3rd I think) helps them move.
Thank you BikerScout and Figrin for trying to help me find Thi-Sen (and teaching me his name).
As for Wal-Mart, I am hunting. But my stores have shrunk their SW figures to like 8 pegs (2 columns of 4). Furthermore, they are stuffed (oh - but one store had a SW figure endcap, though it seems to be gone now) and old figures were all that hung out there.
IronMan 2 seems to be filling all of Hasbro's shipping. What is there an IronMan movie or something?
Let's see:
Tactical Droid Ironman
FireFighter Ironman
Snowbeast Ironman
I guess those figures could cover my needs?
Robert Downey, Jr. as a Talz.... there's a crazy thought.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Target has dropped their figures to 4.99 btw. Probably just a temporary price reduction.

Family: Cyprinidae, Carps and Minnows view all from this family
Description 6" (15 cm). Small for a chub. Body deep, back "humped" in adults. Both sexes darker above, paler below; males dark gray-blue (bluer in breeding season); females tan to yellowish. Dark, roughly triangular spot at tail base. Scales large, 52-59 in lateral line.
Endangered Status The Yaqui Chub is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in Arizona. Like so many species of the dry Southwest, this species suffered from the competition with humans for water. Water levels were lowered by human consumption and drought, and these fish lost essential habitat. Predatory fishes introduced into their range may have taken a toll as well. The species was exterminated in the U.S., but a few populations have been reestablished in the San Bernardino and Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuges.
Habitat Deep, vegetated pools of creeks and spring runs.
Range Far southern Arizona; Rio Sonora basin in Mexico.

Critics of the state's prison system will press for an independent investigation after expressing dismay with the attorney general's long-delayed conclusion October 28 that Maine State Prison inmate Victor Valdez died last November from "a natural death." Prisoners had reported Valdez suffered beatings from guards and withheld medical care (see "A Prison Obituary: The Tragedy of Victor Valdez," by Lance Tapley, July 30).
Deputy Attorney General William Stokes said he found "no evidence" that foul play occurred, suggesting instead Valdez's death was "brought about by some very serious medical conditions." A 52-year-old immigrant from the Dominican Republic serving a four-year sentence for assault, Valdez had heart and lung problems and his kidneys had failed.
Stokes released only a brief statement with his conclusion, which was based on a state police investigation. The Phoenix requested an interview with him, but he responded that he had "never given an interview to explain why there is no evidence of a homicide."
David Bidler, of the Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition (M-PAC), decried the "lack of transparency" involving the state's investigation. His group will meet to discuss what kind of probe it will request, but one possibility is a federal civil-rights investigation. And M-PAC is considering filing Freedom of Access Act requests for government documents related to Valdez's death. The law allows investigative records to be released under certain conditions.
Stokes said, however, that "the medical records piece of this investigation is the bulk of it, consisting of at least a four-inch-thick stack of documents." Medical records are generally excluded from having to be produced in response to Freedom of Access requests.
The state police investigation was launched after demands by the prisoner advocates, who had received letters from inmates describing physical abuse of Valdez. Some claimed guards forced him to sign documents refusing kidney dialysis treatments, which he needed three times a week at the Damariscotta hospital.
Soon after Valdez had been taken by guards to the prison solitary-confinement Special Management Unit or supermax on November 19, 2009, for disobeying orders, a prisoner had written Judy Garvey, another M-PAC member, that Valdez's life was in danger. She immediately notified authorities, but Valdez died on November 27.
No autopsy was performed, and his body was quickly cremated. The Corrections Department also has refused to release details about Valdez's treatment and death, citing the confidentiality of medical records.
PRISON SERIES HONORED AGAINA note from the Portland Phoenix editor Jeff Inglis
ThePortland Phoenix's ongoing series by Lance Tapley, investigating conditions at the Maine State Prison, has won a Publick Occurrences Award from the New England Newspaper and Press Association, for "outstanding journalism."
