Vanden Plas long wheel base real deal ish...
March 14, 2008, 03:49:16 PM »
Well, I guess we now have our own little corner of home, thanks SMike. SO, I might as well start a build thread in a place where I actually WANT too. Notice how I never post my ish on VSC..haha. Those guys just won't understand half my mods since to them mods are just aero, wheels, airsus. Anything else and they scratch their head. It's also fitting to work out the story of how the car came to be in my possession since it came from the assistance of fellow ZT members.
Ok, you guys know I sold the Z to an Aussie cat (finally a car in Australia with proper fitment, I did them a great honor..haha). Well, I had wanted to build another vip car and decided on a G50. Long story short, never finished it, still have parts (as statepolice! knows since he's been acquiring them from me) and decided that my project I had wanted to do before...would come now.
Not sure if any of you remember me posting up the Jaguar XJ from Garage Magical, which was actually the first demo car for J-Complete:
This was my first inspiration. I like doing shit that most people would never normally do. It always has extra character that way. I started to look around for an decent XJ, but did my research on the cars too since I knew some of them to be problematic and some to be pots of gold. I narrowed it down to two years and one model. 96-97 (X300) Vanden Plas (both of which were LWB models). I thought how pimp would it be to have the stretched chassis. those years do not have the main Valeo electronics like the 95 (also X300) did and they have the 4.0L inline six which is known to be almost bulletproof with decent power and tons of torque. The search was on. I looked high and low, locally first to no avial. Then on eBay...but most of them were not in the greatest shape or some gay color combo. I wanted something relatively clean inside and black, white, or silver exterior with cream leather. I didn't care if it was too clean on the outside as long as it wasn't a rust bucket. One day while searching the UNITED FUCKING STATES on Craigslist, I came across an ad from a professor going on sabbatical to Europe and had to sell a few of his cars. He said...make offer. Man, this car looked really clean in and out. Well...I had only about 5k in the bank. So I figured..WTH, just throw it out there anyhow and you never know. Damned if I wasn't a lucky bastard..96' Vanden Plas spindrift white with cream leather and yes, it was a LWB.
Now the problem of checking the car out..it was in Portland. Enter the best forum in the world...ZipTied. I made a plea for help and the call was answered by several members...that's why this place rocks so hard. ZT Members Catharsis (Tyler) & Allen stepped up to the plate. I had the car checked out by Tyler who gave me the thumbs up. It was pretty cherry. I was getting a steal for the condition. Here was the car still in Portland:
After making the exchange of money and what not..things were ready to roll to get the car out to Honolulu. Thanks again to Catharsis and his friend for driving the car up to Tacoma to the shippers. That was an awesome thing you guys did for me. I hope I made it worth your time and when you visit..you know it's on. So car makes it there goes out and arrives to me. I go to pick it up...what do I find?
I actually find 3 of them..good thing I payed the extra $75 for shipping insurance. Saved me hundreds of $$, and i got a nice new windshield..haha. Took it to the little self wash car wash place to get the shipping mess off the car. In this pic the LWB is very obvious with how long the rear door and glass are:
The process begins...

Ok, I didn't want that first post to be the whole damned progress. I've actually done quite a lot and have many parts coming in as well like the typical big ticket items. However, I wanted to make the car "ready" to mod. There were little things here and there which needed tended too and most people would have ignored. I'll get into this a little later when i get back..got some errands to run. Then I'll edit this post with some of the things I've done and to what the plans are for the car..besides the obvious as shown in my sig...

My wheels are Leon Harderitt Waffe, bolt pattern is 5x120.65. Getting sent out tomorrow. So hopefully I'll have them soon, just had to wait a little since they were custom size, offset, PCD, and options. Auto Couture aero leaving Japan at the end of the month.
So far I'm loving the car. It's the epitome of luxury. The reason for those years is the LWB wasn't available in all years of Vanden Plas cars for starters (my car is a Coventry car, built in that particular UK factory), second I wanted this particular engine, and most importantly..I wanted the better electronics.
Later when I have a break I'll make a few updates to this..I've already done quite a lot.

Okay, time for some updates. I'll start from the beginning and try to et things up to current. Might take a while..haha.
I live in Hawaii and having a car with no tint and lots of window ='s green house. Speaking of green...time for the green tint. It's 35% UV tint and actually keeps the car more cool than the 35% charcoal on the Benz:
Its actually not as dark as it appears to be in these pics and when looking out from the inside it surprisingly doesnt make everything turn green. It actually looks quite normal with just a very slight green tinge. From the outside it appears lighter green. This is a somewhat common color/use for many VIP cars in Japan although from my understanding their tint does not have UV protection like mine does. I couldnt find what I wanted anywhere and ended up buying a whole roll of this tint. Ill try to take some better pics later.
When I received the car the 3rd brake light was hanging on for its life by Velcro? Yes, Velcro and some kind of sticky gluey substance. Part hardened like a rock..the other part mush. I assume they first tried to use some type of super glue which was too hard and couldnt handle any vibration..then after that failed they tried to Velcro the whole thing on by the tan enclosure which failed as well. First things first damage control.
I removed all the Velcro stripping which the glue backing made the most difficult and messy. The heat really did a number on it. As I started to dismantle everything I noticed exactly how it was supposed to work. There are two small tabs which need epoxied to the black surround on the glass. The super hard glue on the glass was in fact what they tried to put them up there with but when I took it all apart they were in the slots theyre supposed to go in..just not on the glass. I then noticed 2 square holes with plastic tabs inside..push them and the light unit separates from the enclosure. Now were getting somewhere. I removed everything from each other and unplugged the light unit from its wiring harness. I totally forgot to take pics of that process, but would rather not be reminded of it..haha.
So heres how it goes back on:
First you need to clean all the glue and crap off the black area on the glass where the tabs go. After doing so clean the tabs and the black area with rubbing alcohol. Then comes my friend Goop!!!:
Yes, amazing Automotive Goop. I love this stuff. I rarely use normal epoxy since this stuff works on nearly anything and can handle vibration. This is what I used to apply the tabs to the glass. Youll want to coat the tabs and then place them in their pre-measured spots (use the light unit brackets to line them up on the glass) youll push them on to the glasss and remove them..this puts a coat on the glass and still leaves a coat on the tabs. Wait about 2 minutes before putting them on the glass for good. As soon as you place them use your handy light unit as a template to be sure they lined up right..then when sure press the tabs down on the glass firmly. Heres what youll have at that point:
You can see here how I used them as a template (remember, let the Goop cure for at least 48 hours before going to the next step!):
Here it is slid onto the tabs on the glass..push it down firmly, but not with tons of force..itll then lock into place:
Here you can see how the square tabs on the light unit pop into the holes on the enclosure:
So once its popped on (make sure to run the wiring harness in its little channel in the enclosure) it looks like this:
Then from the outside if lined up correctly youll see no light passing through or open space:
And another shot here you can see the green tint is not as dark as the other pics make it look:
I also replaced the bulbs with 1w LED's when I did this.
As you can see my first mods are actually to get the car back in its' original pristine condition. I'm not the type to just throw the basics on the car and call it pimp. That shit just doesn't cut it..especially on a Vanden Plas. Next on the plate of irritations was the center console cup holder...

One of the things that I knew about before buying the car was that part of the center console wouldnt like to stay locked. Now, I had thought that just meant it closed but wasnt fastening. It turns out it was the cupholder section that would pop open on its own and it was spring loaded, but stil not working right. So I had a few ideas on how to remedy this issue.
1. find a way to fix the current cupholder.
2. get one of those cupholder restore kits.
3. replace the whole upper console by finding a used one online or at a yard.
4. pray for a new upper console.
Well, it seems the feline gods must have heard my cry for help because I actually found a brand new (still in the Jaguar factory box) console in my trim code!!! What luck. A Jaguar parts dealer in Florida (Pauls Jaguar) was my savior. So now Ill show you how to handle this and why it hadnt wanted to work. To remove the console is actually very easy:
Ignore my wonderful grammar below..haha.
Notice with the cupholder area opened/unlatched it barely opened. Its spring loaded..but mine wasnt very springy..haha. Also take note that since it was worn..and wouldnt close right, the leather above the latch was getting worn down:
Here is why the cup holder wouldnt stay latched:
Remove the cupholder area and you can easily see what happened:
Well, at least I have a good sample to send to Seats Restore to get a good match for the restoration of my interior leather!
Here you can see how the old cupholder even when manually opened the whole way still wasnt all the way opened. The new unit works flawlessly and opens fully all on its own. Also note the color difference over the years from a new piece with new cream Connelly leather. After I clean it all up itll match a bit closer. The flash makes the difference even more noticeable than it is to the eye:
And here it is in all its glory! You can see the color hasnt changed all that much over the years..just needs livened up.

When I first purchased the car the drivers side fog light was in less than great condition ok, it was broken and looked like crap:
I had also noticed from the side that worked that the fogs were not very bright and they had a cutoff that blocked the light to the sides which is kind of what I like fog lights to do. They dont aim up, so they arent blinding other drivers. Here they are inside the custom opening in the old lens:
Removing them is pretty easy..but first you need to remove the fog light housings. There is a black trim ring which surrounds the housing. There are four small clips around it holding it on by little nubs. I use a thin flat head screw driver to gently pry those outwards and then off..its quite easy. After those are out youll see grooves that go back to where the tabs are which hold the housing in place:
then just remove the power plug on the backside and youve got them out. Repeat the same procedure for the opposite side if you need to remove them both.
On the glare guards there are 4 tabs which need to be bent back after removing the bulb from the housing..once bent they can be finagled out with pliers:
Then once out it should look like so:
This is a good time to clean out dust and dirt that has collected over time. I made a tool out of a metal coat hanger, cue tip, and duct tape. The rest of this cleaning procedure is self explanatory haha:
Here is the completed housing on the car:
Now with yellow halogen, nice but not very bright:
Lets do something about that in the tune of 3000k HID lighting
WAY better there is no weird glare up to blind drivers as you can see it shines the ground and sides on a low level due to the housing shape and angle. You can hardly tell the headlights are on..haha. Now to do the tri-bar HID headlight retrofit!!! Just waiting on one more part and then its on!!

Day 3
The final day of our trek I awoke a bit later than expected. I had fallen into a deep sleep I supposed, perhaps due to the previous two days of hyperactivity. I felt sticky and groggy, so first things first I headed to the creek shower for a quick splash of ice cold water to the face. Almost everyone had already risen and were gathered around the community table sipping instant coffee, tea, or sugar water (Imogen). I joined the group, but didn't really contribute to any conversation until I'd had at least 2 cups of coffee. Soon breakfast was served; Eggs, omlette style, toast and fresh pinapple. We even brought out a few leftover lychees that hadn't been taken over by the hoards of ants overnight. As we ate I happened to glance into the kitchen/sleeping area where the two local women and Johnny Walker slept and cooked. To my astonishment, one of the women was cleaning and picking the fur off what appeared to be a dead rat. She and I locked eyes for one nervous second and she shot me a smile to suggest, "yeah, it's a rat I'm eating for breakfast, I can tell you are shocked white boy". Growing up in a community where squirrels were regularly consumed, I really wasn't all that surprised, just interested in how she was going to prepare her jungle rat. I watched her chop it up and throw it into a pot over the fire along with some shredded leafy greens. A rat stew perhaps?
After breakfast, Johnny gave us some personal time to mill around and let our food settle. I spent the majority of that time testing out the set of handmade slingshots the locals had set out for our entertainment. A few plastic water bottled tied to a distant tree limb provided the targets and the ammunition were simply the bounty of pebbles on the ground. I will proudly admit that I became fairly proficient, hitting the target a number of times, my personal best being 3 in a row. Johnny on the other hand, hit 7 in a row. Johnny also showed us about 3 pounds of local mushrooms he had dug up from underground and intended to sell that the famous Chiang Mai Sunday market.
Soon enough it was time to resume hiking. Johnny told us today's hike would be a 49 minute jaunt down the creek until we hit the river (Johnny tended to end all his estimations with a 9, I believe because the current Thai King is King Rama the 9th? Just another Johnnyism). We hit the trail and had a pleasurably flat hike along the stream, coming across bamboo groves and some impressive hardwoods. Fairly soon we started seeing signs of civilization once again. A PVC pipe here, a motor bike there, soon enough were full blown riverside elephant camps and rafting put-ins. When we reached our designated put-in for rafting, we dumped our packs and valuables into the back of a pickup truck and walked down to the riverside.
Lifejackets and helmets were selected and a short tutorial was given by our eccentric river guide. We split up into two rafts, essentially youngsters and "experienced", myself in the latter group. I was placed up in the front of the boat along with Ollie (one of the Brits) and behind me was Gabby (Ollie's girlfriend), opposite James and finally Nimisha and the guide, who was quite the amateur comedian. Since this wasn't my first rodeo when it came to whitewater rafting I was ready to roll and it wasn't a long wait until we started hitting some whitewater. Apparently the water level was a little low, so there were many rocks and obstacles to avoid, but the rapids were quite akin to a longer version of the Natahala with the muddy consistency of the French Broad. Truth be told I felt safe the entire time but it was an exhilarating ride with a lot of great moments and of course the obligatory splash-fights with the raft full of youngsters. We even had a calm section where we took a swim (or float). Once the rapids had calmed down and the rivers slowed to a manageable pace, we transitioned to authentic bamboo rafts that were used in olden times by the Thai river people. I would liken the bamboo rafts to a bit of a gondola ride, wherein we sat two by two and a "driver" stood at the back with long pole to push and steer (minus he Italian crooning). The bamboo rafts are lashed together with more bamboo, a very versatile plant to be sure, although these rafts did acquire a more modern touch, for added safety strips of motorcycle tire were also used to secure the bamboo shafts together. So, keeping score, we used bamboo for huts, walking sticks, bowls, chopsticks and now rafts.
After our Huck Finn cruise we walked back up the riverbank to have our final lunch. Pad Thai was served and we were allowed a proper shower and change of clothes at a small picnic area near the river. Johnny Walker was able to meet up with a few of his fellow guide buddies where we were informed that they actually call him Johnny "Wanker", the Thais and the Brits really got a kick out of this, hand gestures a-plenty.
We took a group picture and gave Johnny a sizable tip for all he had done for us over the course of 3 days. "Oh my Buddha" he proclaimed one last time before he then herded us back into a covered truckbed for transportation back home to our respective Guesthouses. Once back in civilization it was an immediate hot shower, promptly followed by a Thai massage and a good ol' American style burger with a coconut shake, seemingly always more gratifying when following a camping trip.
I had a great time trekking in the mountains of Chiang Mai with many experiences I will never forget and making some friends that I believe will stay in touch and perhaps be valuable contacts when I travel to other countries. I highly recommend a trek of any length to anyone visiting northern Thailand, just make sure to pack smart, pack light and ensure that the trek you choose fits your experience, athletic ability and comfort level with the outdoors. As Shakespeare once wrote, "A rose by any other name still smells as sweet", I find this to even be true with respect to Trekking in Thailand and Backpacking in my native homeland.

About NEH Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions
The National Endowment for the Humanities provides grants to independent centers for advanced study and international research organizations to support fellowship programs for humanities scholars through its Fellowship Programs at Independent Research Institutions (FPIRI). NEH fellowships provide scholars with stipends, a collegial environment, and access to resources that might not be available at their home institutions.
Fellowship programs may be administered by independent centers for advanced study, libraries, and museums in the United States, or American overseas research centers or other organizations that have expertise in promoting research on foreign cultures. The centers and organizations establish their own peer review procedures for the selection of NEH grant recipients and administer the awards. NEH provides funding for humanities fellowships of four to twelve months.
Amount of Award
Amount of the award will vary by the number and length of the fellowships offered by the host institution.
Centers and organizations applying for these grants may not be affiliated with an institution of higher education and must be independently governed, financed, and administered. In addition, they must have a pre-existing fellowship program maintained with non-NEH funding. Eligibility for NEH fellowships at these research institutions is limited to United States citizens and foreign nationals who have been residents in the United States for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline for the grant. NEH research opportunities are intended for persons who have already completed their formal academic training. Consequently, persons seeking support for work in pursuit of a degree are not eligible for NEH fellowships and research grants.
How to Apply
For more information and application instructions, please visit the program website listed above.

1 Meetup Group matches "Spades" near Scottsdale, AZ
There are no upcoming Meetups.
If you love bridge or any trick-taking card game, this is for you. Obviously, it's similar to spades but involves more strategy and a different form of bidding. All spade lovers prefer this to the original however. In fact, most bridge or euchre players prefer this game to theirs as well. I've included the rules for game play below. We typically play at a bar once a week. I hope you can make it out. Take care. The Rules: Like spades, the whole deck is dealt out so that each person has 13 cards. …

Congress passed a transportation jobs bill that included a provision allowing the 3.4 percent interest rate for subsidized Stafford loans to stay the same for another year. New loans will not have a doubled interested as dictated by legislation passed five years prior.
This is a major win for students, especially because the average student in America leaves college burdened with several thousands in debt. And the Institute for Higher Education Policy looked at the years 2004-2009 and found that 40 percent of students that started paying off loans are delinquent with their payments sometime during the first five years of repayment.
The passage of this legislation signaled a bizarre semblance of accord among the Democrats and Republicans as it won by a huge margin in both the House and the Senate. It seems like each party wanted to claim the rewards of this bill as its own doing. How touching.

After last year's blow out, we are bringing back In guest headliner, Delhi 2 Dublin touring in support of their new album "Turn up the Stereo." The Vancouver, Canada-based band plays an energetic mash-up of Bhangra, Celtic, Dub, Reggae and Electronica with global rhythms and club beats. The band has been together almost six years and has released four full-length albums. The Delhi 2 Dublin crew are road warriors. They have played major festivals in both Canada and the U.S. including Bumbershoot in Seattle, Earthdance in California, Canada Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Stern Grove in San Francisco as well as such diverse events as SXSW in Austin, TX, the Keelung City Ghost Festival in Taiwan, the BaliSpirit Festival in Indonesia and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. In addition, a fresh new album is in the works to be released later this year. Delhi 2 Dublin has become one of Canada's most buzzed-about bands and Non Stop Bhangra is thrilled to have them in the house this month.
Rounding out the mix, the NSB crew will be doing their thing as always to make it a non stop party, not to be missed. Still holding to its tradition, the night will start off with the famous Bhangra dance lesson and performances by Dholrhythms Dance Company and dj sets with Jimmy Love and DJ Nix (Bol Punjab Dey) live Dhol with Pavit and Mehul and visuals by Amar to keep the party rocking until 3:00am.
For those that still don't know what NSB is:

Featured on the Second Saturday of every month at Public Works, NON STOP BHANGRA is a unique experience that celebrates the beautiful and vibrant spirit of Bhangra, a traditional Punjabi folk music and dance.
Imagine a scene from a Bollywood movie smack in the middle of a thumping nightclub-swirling colors, the rhythm of pounding feet, & the relentless energy of brilliant beats -that's NON STOP BHANGRA!
Highlighting the ancestral roots of Punjabi dance while pushing boundaries with contemporary influences, Non Stop Bhangra is a genre-busting elixir of North Indian Bhangra music and dance, mixed with reggae, hip-hop, and electronica. An ever-evolving collective of dancers, DJs, drummers, vocalists, and musicians, Non Stop Bhangra is a non-stop party. Featuring dance lessons and performances with Dholrhythms Dance Company, and music by DJ Jimmy Love, alongside live Dhol players, live painting, and visuals, the group has won legions of fans with its monthly events in San Francisco.
Non Stop Bhangra was founded in 2004 when Dholrhythms founders Vicki Virk and Suman Raj teamed up with DJ Jimmy Love with the goal of bringing Bhangra to a wider audience. The first Non Stop Bhangra was hosted to celebrate the one year anniversary of Dholrhythms by providing a dance space for students of Dholrhythms Bhangra classes. Since then, NSB has made this traditional style a serious dance floor craze in San Francisco, drawing the most diverse crowds to join in the frenzy. NSB is a destination, creating sold out nights and write-ups as one of the best dance floor nights in San Francisco.
After 7 years of full capacity shows, in 2012, the award winning production moved into one of the hottest clubs in the city, Public Works. With this move comes later hours, more room to dance and late night food provided by Kasa Indian. Becoming one of the ambassadors for the sound of Bhangra in the US, the vision for the New Year is to expand on the experience. With some killer surprise guests lined up in the New Year, Non Stop Bhangra is ready to take West Coast Bhangra to a whole new level!
In addition to the monthly event, the group has performed at some of the largest stages in the West Coast including San Francisco's renowned Stern Grove Festival, TED XSF at Yerba Buena Center For the Arts, Goldman Environmental Prize Ceremony at War Memorial Opera House, Inaugration Ceremony of Mayor Ed Lee at SF City Hall, Michael Franti's Power to the Peaceful in Golden Gate Park, New Mexico's ¡Globalquerque!, Grand Performances in Los Angeles, Pasadena's Levitt Pavilion, and Canada's Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival and many more.

Cutting Insulation
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: September 1, 2011
Long pants and sleeves
Eye protection
Dust mask
Utility Knife
2x4 that is at least twice as long as the width of the insulation
Cutting batts of fiberglass insulation is a frustrating, imprecise process because the batts are so thick and fuzzy. To speed things up and produce a clean, neat cut every time, lay the insulation on top of a scrap piece of plywood with its foil or kraft-paper vapor barrier facing up. Then cut a 2X4 at least 12 in. longer than the width of the insulation.
Place the 2X4 across the batt on the cut line. Compress the insulation by kneeling on one end of the 2X4 and pressing down on the other end with your palm. Then use a sharp utility knife to slice through the batt in a single stroke. Always wear gloves, a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, eye protection and a dust mask when working with fiberglass. And work carefully so the knife doesn't slip and cut your knee.
Insulation Basics
Fiberglass insulation looks easy to install, but it's effectiveness depends on how snugly it's cut and fit.
To start, avoid packing the insulation too tightly into place. When it's firmly compressed, fiberglass loses some insulating value. Also, don't simply stuff the insulation behind electrical cables and pipes. Instead, take a utility knife and carefully slice halfway through the fiberglass batt. Be careful not to slit the paper or foil vapor barrier on the face of the batt.
And as you install the insulation, fold down the batt slightly to open the slit, then press it over the cable or pipe. The fiberglass will fluff up around the slit and maintain its insulating value.

Questions about.... *A-IEP Admissions? Contact our International Admissions Advisors at email@example.com , or visit the A-IEP Admissions page at: www.uwb.edu/admissions/international/aiep
*A-IEP Deposit or Program Fees? Contact Ms. Jen Ireland with UW-ELP at email@example.com
*Your I-20 or Other Immigration Matters? Contact our International Student Advisors at email@example.com .
1. Submit Your UW-Bothell I-20 Request Form Your UW Bothell I-20 cannot be issued until ISS receives your completed I-20 Request Form, along with a copy of your passport identification page and sufficent proof of finances. All financial documents must be within the last six months and show sufficient funds to cover the expected educational and living expenses. The most commonly submitted documents are bank statements. If you will be traveling outside the U.S. before beginning your studies at UW Bothell, you must have your UW Bothell I-20 and a valid visa to re-enter the U.S. If you require a new F-1 visa, ISS strongly encourages you to apply for your visa in your home country. However, if you remain in the U.S., you can pursue your studies with an expired visa.
2. Pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee (Only if you will be entering the U.S. for the first time with your A-IEP I-20).
F-1 students are required to pay the I-901 SEVIS fee . This fee is imposed by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), and must be paid and processed before the applicant arrives at the consulate. You will not be issued a visa without paying the fee. You are required to provide your SEVIS number (located on on the upper right corner of your UW Bothell I-20) when you pay for the I-901 SEVIS fee. Applicants must bring the SEVIS fee payment receipt with them for the visa interview, or, for those that do not need a visa, to the U.S. port of entry. Having a receipt for the SEVIS fee payment will facilitate the visa application process. However, if you are unable to print a receipt from an online payment and/or do not receive your mailed receipt in time of your visa interview you can still go to your interview and attempt to obtain your visa as long as your fee has been processed.
3. Obtain Your F-1 Visa (Only if you will be entering the U.S. for the first time with your A-IEP I-20).
Your UW Bothell I-20 and I-901 SEVIS fee receipt allows you to make an appointment to apply for your F-1 student visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy. Applying for a U.S. visa can take anywhere from one day to four weeks, or longer, so you should allow enough time for the visa application process. ISS strongly encourages you to apply in your home country, because it can be risky to apply in a country other than your home country. For instance, if you apply for a new visa in Canada and encounter delays, you must remain in Canada for the length of the processing. You will not be able to re-enter the U.S. until the visa is approved.
4. Confirm Your A-IEP Admission by Submitting Your A-IEP Program Deposit by the Deadline Please contact Ms. Jen Ireland with UW-ELP at email@example.com to receive the A-IEP Deposit Form for the quarter you plan to begin A-IEP. You may also contact Ms. Ireland with any payment-related questions.
5. Plan to Attend Your A-IEP Orientation (Mandatory)
Orientation that all new students must attend is the A-IEP Orientation. Pre-registration is not required. The A-IEP Orientation is organized by International Student Services (firstname.lastname@example.com ). You are required by your F-1 visa to attend, and learn about the regulations governing their visa. The orientation program also offers you many benefits and opportunities to meet other new students, learn about American life and culture, and receive important information about immigration, employment, health insurance, and academics in A-IEP. Students must complete their Immigration Check-in at Orientation by submitting a completed Immigration Check-in Form and supporting documents.
Summer 2013 Quarter Orientation: Monday, June 24, 2013 8:30am - 5:00pm UW1 Building, Room 103
Fall 2013 Quarter Orientation: Wednesday, September 25, 2013 8:30 - 5:00pm UW1 Building, Room 103 6. Plan Your Arrival to UW Bothell to be Able to Attend the Mandatory AIEP Orientation and On-Campus Housing Move-in Day (if applicable)
When you are determining what date you should arrive in the U.S., ISS strongly encourages you to ensure that you arrive in time to attend A-IEP Orientation and (if applicable) move into your on-campus housing. When & Where Should I Arrive? Immigration regulations allow students on an F-1 visa to enter the United States up to 30 days before the program start date on your I-20 (see line #5 on your I-20). ISS recommends that you arrive during the week before your start date, which will allow you to attend Orientation, find housing, and become familiar with the Washington area.
You will want to fly into the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA-TAC). To enter the United States, you will need your I-20, valid passport, and valid F-1 visa. Do not attempt to enter the U.S. without these documents. Please contact your local embassy or consulate to determine if there are other entry requirements specific to your country. How Can I Reach UW Bothell From Seattle-Tacoma International Airport? There are many ways that you can reach campus. A few suggestions are:
* Shuttle Express: Only costs $21 with your UW student discount. The shuttle can bring you directly to your accomodations. Reservations encouraged. More information here. * Yellow Cab Taxi Service: More information here * King Country Metro Bus: More information here.
7. Confirm Housing Accommodations ISS encourages students to confirm your accommodations BEFORE you arrive in the U.S. Students should not plan to arrive without having housing accommodations secured, as on-campus housing is not guaranteed and it can take at least a couple of weeks to find suitable off-campus housing. Temporary Accommodations: If you need a place to stay in Bothell until you can secure your housing accommodations, you may consider staying at one of these hotels located within walking distance to UW Bothell: Country Inn & Suites* (can provide UW student discount) 19333 N Creek Pkwy Bothell, WA 98011 Phone: (425) 485-5557
Residence Inn 11920 NE 195th Street Bothell, WA 98011 Phone: (425) 485-3030 On-Campus Housing: UW Bothell Student Housing offers fully furnished, on-campus apartments that include a full kitchen, bathroom, washer and dryer! Be part of a growing, vibrant residential community where you live with your peers, meet new friends, and enjoy Student and Residential Life programming.
Off-Campus Options: ISS can not assist students to find off-campus accomodations, but suggest the following:
9. Get Connected to UW Bothell on our Social Networks!
8. Attend a Pre-Departure Orientation Session in Your Home Country (if available)

When one is a stranger in a strange land like Chuck Hufstetler, R-Rome, it can really help to look as though one "belongs."
Despite a very bad false step regarding how he handled his vote on the ha-ha-that's-funny resolution on ethics Hufstetler really had a pretty good debut week. Let's chalk up his "yea" vote and cheerleading on an atrocious ethics stance — marginally better than the absolutely nothing the General Assembly previously had while looking like pigs being slopped by special interests — to his knowing the first commandment of the politically powerful in Georgia: One goes along to get along.
He must have convinced his GOP peers as he collected a nifty bag of committee goodies of the sort that accomplish the most important thing a local senator can do: Put himself in position to influence matters of great concern to the community.
Why, he even landed the vice-chairmanship of the State and Local Government Operations Committee where he instantly likely drew cheers from city/county leaders across the state by declaring: "I hope I can be helpful, especially about not having the state government impose mandates on local governments. Having been there, I know what kind of problems it can cause." If he can put a stop to this way that the state uses to balance its own budget by pushing functions off on local taxpayers — or better still reverses it — Hufstetler could win any statewide office he might desire.
ADDITIONALLY — and think about what is big and vital to Greater Rome — Hufstetler, an anesthesiologist in his latest of several successful careers, was quite properly put on the Health and Human Services Committee plus on education and youth, science and technology. That's an extremely strong and well-placed array, putting him in excellent position to make his voice heard on much that matters. Hence, to some extent Hufstetler perhaps achieved this by appearing to be a team player by joining the majority on the awful ethics resolution and becoming the lead trumpeter about how great it was.
He didn't land a slot on his own top priority — finance — where he is probably super-well-qualified by both past experience and performance. Remember, he joined the County Commission when it was flat busted and, eight years later, left it with a huge pile of reserves sufficient for his successors to make it through the Great Recession.
Senators who don't indicate a willingness to play well with others tend to wind up on panels like retirement, special judiciary ... or ethics. And, regarding finances, the senators in charge of money tend not to let any "new boy" anywhere near it.
Still, his ethics stance was disappointing particular for those who know how personally principled he is. Perhaps he couldn't just abstain (it passed 42-12 after all) and look like a team player but to go on and publicly say: "With the passage of this resolution, Georgia is aligning itself with other states in order to become a more transparent governmental body. It is an honor to serve in a Senate that conveys trust and honesty for our constituents" was way more than necessary.
THOSE constituents across the state, in a pre-session poll by an Atlanta newspaper, supported a gift limit of zero dollars all the time by a margin of more than 70 percent with another 15 percent supporting a true $100 cap. That leaves less than 15 percent who like lobbyist gifting just the way it is, perhaps in the belief that they someday can win a ticket on the gravy train.
The Senate's ethical stance was nothing more than a political ploy, a fail-safe in case the House and Senate passage of actual legislation winds up gridlocked with nothing accomplished. Then the Senate can boast only it is concerned about ethics and provide members with some slim political cover.
House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, who now supports a total ban on all gifts to all legislators — after himself starting the public outrage by accepting a $17,000 lobbyist trip to Germany for his family to look at model trains of the high-speed sort that Georgia will never spend money on — correctly pegged the Senate action: "If they want to call that real reform, I've got some oceanfront property in a place called Blue Ridge; I'll be glad to take them this afternoon to sell them."
With the introductory $100 limit on gift values the Senate resolution — which is a paper policy position without the force of law — starts off looking fairly good but then come the ifs, ands, buts. There are loads of them, including an exemption regarding anything to do with official business and barring anyone not employed by the Senate from raising a complaint.
IN OTHER WORDS, if a lobbyist invites a senator on an all-expenses trip to the Super Bowl and calls it a birthday present, that would be illegal. If the lobbyist says it is to show him the value of supporting a new billion-dollar stadium for the Atlanta Falcons that would be acceptable ... just as it was yesterday.
In real life, Hufstetler would no more rely on paper promises than he would have when State Mutual Stadium was built and he was out there constantly making sure the contractor and materials lived up to specifications.
Additionally, regarding that $100 gift limit, as of the start of this legislative session there were 1,276 registered lobbyists in Georgia. If they limit gifts/meals to a senator to $99 — word is some few steaks can be bought at that price — that creates the potential of a single senator receiving $126,342 in a single day if all give him/her something.
Nor is that per day ... it is per gift. The only thing keeping a senator from accepting a $99 breakfast, $99 lunch, $99 dinner and $99 show ticket with $99 in drinks after the event ($495 in one day or a potential of $631,620 if all lobbyists are that intent on wooing) is the physical impossibility of being in 1,276 places at the same time or having 1,275 clones created. That is sure some gift limit!
Hufstetler has plainly positioned himself very well to serve his constituents in the long run but at the same time dented the high-minded image that got him sent to the Golden Dome in the first place. Of course, should a House measure made of sterner stuff arrive in the Senate that will be when Hufstetler can actually have a positive impact.
FRANKLY, DENTED politicians can often keep running and making mileage for a long, long time. Perhaps this will be the first and last ding to the Hufstetler image.

"We've got a lot better depth here right now, and that really helps all the players on our team, especially the young prospects," said head coach Ron Rolston.
Brennan is an emerging offensive defenseman. He had 16 goals in 50 games for the Amerks last year, and has seven so far this year. The franchise record is 18.
The leagues are getting so good, and everyone is offensive now a days, so you really have to do little details to separate yourself from everyone, and there's just a lot of responsibility involved," said Brennan.
Flynn is an intriguing prospect at center. He was undrafted, but was highly sought after following a 48-point senior season in 40 games at Maine. The 24-year-old has 11 points in 14 games for the Amerks and is on a seven-game point streak.
"To be honest, when I was draft eligible there I had no business getting drafted. I was too small, wasn't good enough at the time. But, to go play four years at a great school with some good coaching and some hard work, I've been able to get better every year," Flynn said.
Of course, Flynn is among a number of players the Amerks are grooming at the center position - the most notable being Cody Hodgson.
As for Hodgson, he's back on the ice with his teammates but unable to grip a stick with that hand injury. He told us that he's recovering, and it gives him a chance to work on his power skating.
As for the Americans, they're back on home ice Friday night against the Albany Devils.

Birth Of Kittens
Birth, kitten, spay, breeding, queen, vaccines, tome, gestation, nursing, panting, purring, restlessness, labor, placenta, over population, pregnant, cat
Birth Of Kittens
Queening. Sounds like a chess move. In actuality, it is the term used when referring to the birth of kittens.
It may seem incongruous to many, but I strongly recommend that all cats be spayed or castrated. No, I am not trying to put myself or colleagues out of business. I am trying to put an end to the very tragic reality of pet overpopulation. You may want your children to see the miracle of birth. Watching kittens coming into this world is very special. Seeing them grow and explore their environment is amazing. Visiting a shelter and realizing that so many absolutely healthy and loving cats will never find homes and will be euthanized is horrific. A great alternative to breeding is purchasing the national geographic video "in the womb, animals". You can see footage of the mating, intra uterine growth and delivery of an Asian elephant, dolphin and golden retriever. You can find this video online.
If you decide to let your cat have kittens, I would recommend that you do your homework first. Planned pregnancies are always best. You will want to be sure that the queen and tom are both in good health, are up to date on their vaccines and deworming. Investigate their lineage to insure that neither are known carriers of any genetic conditions that you would not want to propagate.
The typical feline gestation, pregnancy, is around 62 to 65 days in length. Some breeds, like Siamese, may deliver at 71 days.
One of the first signs of pregnancy that you will notice is swelling of the queen's nipples. This occurs in the 2nd or 3rd week after conception. In the 3rd week, it is also possible for most veterinarians to be able to palpate the fetal structures. A swollen belly usually is not noticeable until the queen is 5 or 6 weeks along.
As the pregnancy approaches its culmination, prepare birthing box. It can be a simple cardboard box in a quiet area. Line it with newspaper for warmth along with clean linens or towels.
If your feline mother has long fur on her belly, a week or two before the kittens are born is the perfect time to trim this belly fur. It will make nursing easier for her offspring.
There are several distinct stages to labor and delivery. Panting, purring and restlessness characterize the first stage. Once the queen settles into her nesting box, leave her alone. Disruptions can prolong the labor. This phase can last up to 6 hours. If this is the first time that you have observed a queening and the first pregnancy for your cat, it may be a time of increased anxiety for the two of you. Be assured that most cats deliver without any problems. But be prepared. Have the name and number of your veterinarian and emergency clinic close at hand.
The actual appearance of the first kitten is preceded by a vaginal discharge and sharp abdominal contractions. This second phase usually last for 30 minutes. If a kitten is not born after an hour of strong contractions, take the queen to your veterinarian immediately.
Kittens will enter the world either tail or face first. Both are normal. After each kitten is delivered, you will notice a dark green bubble passing from the vagina. This is the placenta that contained the newly born kitten.
Once the kitten is born, the mother will lick it in order to clean it as well as stimulate its respiration. She will groom herself and typically consume the placenta.
Kittens are born 15 to 30 minutes apart. During this respite, she will commence nursing.
If you notice that a kitten is not born after an hour's worth of labor, if only a portion of a kitten is visible in the birth canal, or labor stops before all kittens are born, take the queen and kittens to your veterinarian. Even with an uncomplicated queening, I recommend that kittens and queens be brought to your veterinary hospital for a checkup within 24 hours of the delivery.
Kittens are wondrous creatures. You may find fabulous homes for all of your cat's offspring but remember, you need to consider the fate of their progeny. Pet overpopulation, you can make the difference.
Have questions regarding breeding your cat? Just ask your veterinarian.

The U.S. Defense Department has already tested this new-age biofuel in its B-52 bomber fleet, while one major airline has already locked in a 10-year supply.
Fellow Investor, I don't have to tell you how oil shale fracking has changed the global energy landscape forever. You�ve already seen how this disruptive energy technology has not only made the U.S. a natural gas superpower AND driven natural gas prices to record lows but has also sent the stock prices of fracking leaders such as Southwestern Energy Corp. and Patterson-UTI Energy soaring -- up 4,769% and 1,037%, respectively, since 1999. To date, fracking has been one of the most disruptive energy technologies developed since the discovery of oil -- turning millions of tons of previously inaccessible oil shale into a 100-year energy supply. As a result, dozens of major utility companies in the United States, from Georgia Power to Duke Energy to Progress Energy, are now spending billions of dollars converting their coal-fired generators to natural gas. It's no wonder: The drop in natural gas prices is the equivalent of a drop in the price of a gallon of gas from $3.50 a gallon to -- hold on to your hat -- 62 cents a gallon. As result, the U.S. has now become one of the most profitable places on the planet to make chemicals and fertilizer...while slashing the costs for makers of energy-intensive products such as aluminum, steel, and glass. So it's no surprise that Dow Chemical and Chevron have both announced plans to build multibillion-dollar chemical plants in Texas and Louisiana... ...or that metals manufacturer Allegheny Technologies is also building a new $1.1 billion mill in the U.S. to produce metals for the chemicals industry... ...or that Egyptian industrial giant Orascom Construction Industries is planning to build a new $1.4 billion fertilizer plant in Iowa... ...or that Kia Motors just celebrated the grand opening of its $1 billion state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Georgia... ...or that Foreign Policy magazine has written, "The Future of Manufacturing Is in America -- Not China..." ... or that the analysts at Credit Suisse say the new era of cheap energy could send the stock prices of steel, chemical and fertilizer, industrial machinery, and alternative energy manufacturers soaring for a long, long time. It's Precisely This Sea Change in Natural Gas Prices That's Powering This Rediscovered 68-Year-Old Disruptive TechnologyAnd it's about to make some people very rich! We're talking profits similar to the 4,769% and 1,037% gains Southwestern Energy Corp. and Patterson-UTI handed investors since 1999 -- and then some. That's why I've created this special presentation: 1. To tell you about a "new" 68-year-old gas-to-liquids (GTL) disruptive energy technology that America's glut of natural gas has made commercially profitable, and 2. To explain how you can get in on this incredible wealth-building opportunity before licensing of the gas-to-liquids technology around the world begins and before one particular company's stock price doubles. I realize that what I am about to tell you may sound too good to be true, because I know that you've heard all this kind of GTL stuff before -- only to be woefully disappointed. But let me assure you, as the editor of one of America's leading energy and commodities advisories, the rediscovered WWII technology I'm about to tell you about isn't conjecture or wishful thinking on my part -- but proven profitable technology that will soon turn the energy industry upside down. If you doubt what I say, you must remember that 142 years ago nuclear power was purely a science fiction concept conjured up by Jules Verne in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea... ... or that it was 71 years ago when Isaac Asimov wrote of solar-powered space stations in his science fiction classic Reason, 28 years before the first man was launched into space... ... or that fracking -- discovered 153 years ago by Civil War veteran Col. Edward Roberts -- would usher in the new era of low natural gas prices that we see today. Today, this "new" 68-year-old gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology is on the verge of revolutionizing the fuels industry in the same way that these past discoveries have, in ways that we now take for granted. And it's all thanks to record-low natural gas prices that have come about from the fracking boom that's given Americans a new 100-year energy supply in cheap natural gas. If you can get in now before this new GTL technology is fully commercialized, you could reap almost obscene profits as oil-starved countries with vast shale reserves rush to adopt this incredibly profitable disruptive energy technology. Why the Gas-to-Liquids Technology Could Make

Theatre of Blood [DVD]
Screenplay : Anthony Greville-Bell
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1973
Stars : Vincent Price (Edward Lionheart), Diana Rigg (Edwina Lionheart), Ian Hendry (Peregrine Devlin), Harry Andrews (Trevor Dickman), Coral Browne (Miss Chloe Moon), Robert Coote (Oliver Larding), Jack Hawkins (Solomon Psaltery), Michael Hordern (George Maxwell), Arthur Lowe (Horace Sprout), Robert Morley (Meredith Merridew), Dennis Price (Hector Snipe), Milo O'Shea (Inspector Boot)
William Shakespeare is probably the most sadistically violent author to still be taught on a regular basis in public schools. Dressed up in undeniably beautiful poetry, his plays features a litany of brutal murders and atrocious deeds, from stabbings, to beheadings, to mutilation, to cannibalism, not to mention all the black magic, treachery, and illicit sex. Worried adults who jump on the bandwagon to condemn everything from slasher movies to Harry Potter generally (and probably consciously) overlook the works of Shakespeare because his name is one of the most hallowed in all of English literature.
This is why it was such a deviously brilliant idea to take the works of Shakespeare and use them as the basis for a hammy, gory horror movie whose sole purpose is to visualize some of the Bard's most gruesome atrocities on-screen in glorious, dripping color. In Theatre of Blood, the hammiest of all great B-horror movie stars, Vincent Price, plays Edward Lionheart, a less-than-highly regarded Shakespearean actor who decides to get his revenge on all the snooty critics who panned his performances over the years and denied him a richly deserved (in his mind, anyway) Drama Critics' Circle award by killing them one-by-one using methods from Shakespeare's plays.
So, ala Julius Caesear, one critic is stabbed to death multiple times on March 15th ("Beware the ides of March"), another has his head sawed off while in bed with his wife as in Cymbeline, and, in a particularly nasty episode, Lionheart uses Titus Andronicus as his model to force a critic to eat a pie made out of his two beloved poodles (whom he refers to as his "babies"). Each murder is carefully set up by Lionheart and an army of homeless people whom he has molded into an actor's troupe that follows his every command. Lionheart is single-minded in his vengeance—it is his last great performance, a stunning piece of live theater taken to absurd extreme—and he is always sure that the offending critic is made well-aware of not only who his killing him, but by what literary method.
Director Douglas Hickox (Zulu Dawn) is well aware of the silliness of the material, not to mention that it is only a slight twist on another ghoulishly comedic revenge flick made a few years earlier with Price, The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971). Thus, he wisely allows the movie to play straight, so that the inherently gruesome comedy rises naturally from the over-the-top scenarios and Price's fantastically campy performance.
Theatre of Blood is a real showpiece for Price, as he not only gets to don various disguises in order to trick his victims (the best being an effeminate hair stylist with a huge afro), but he gets to recite large chunks of Shakespeare's dialogue. For Lionheart, Shakespeare is not just a playwright, but a way of life (he refuses to stage anything but the Bard's works), and Price seems to have absorbed the melodramatic fanaticism that often accompanies bad performances of Shakespeare's work. Lionheart may be the worst Shakespearean actor of all time, but he lives under the delusion that he is the best, and Price has a great deal of fun playing the character in the void between what he believes himself to be and what he actually is.
Several other notable character actors have nice turns, as well. Diana Rigg, Miss Emma Peel herself from The Avengers, plays Lionheart's devoted daughter, who, like everyone else, believes that her father is dead after throwing himself into the Thames a year earlier when he was denied the critics' prize. The only critic to gain any real sympathy is Peregrine Devlin (Ian Hendry), but that may be because he is on-screen so much of the time and is able to develop a character beyond the snobbish caricatures embodied by the other critics (even their names— Snipe, Sprout, Larding—drip with malicious cruelty).
Theatre of Blood isn't particularly suspenseful because it gives us most of the information up front, but that's not the game it's playing. Rather, the murders are the centerpiece, and the twisted delight the movie offers is the inventive ghoulishness by which they will be carried out (especially once the police catch on, Lionheart has to be more and more creative in getting the critic-victim alone and away from his police protector). Theatre of Blood is hardly a great horror movie, but it is inventive and enjoyable, and it makes the most of a great premise.
Theatre of Blood DVD | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.66:1 |

Audio | Dolby 2.0 Monaural |
Languages | English, French, Spanish |
Subtitles | French, Spanish |
Supplements | Original theatrical trailer |
Distributor | Metro-Goldwyn Mayer |
Unfortunately, the image quality on this DVD is not particularly good. Part of this is due to the shape of the source print, which appears to have faded some over time and is marred by noticeable scratches and dirt. The transfer is not aided by the fact that it is not anamorphically enhanced, which cuts down on the much-needed resolution. Presented in its original 1.66:1 widescreen aspect ratio, much of Theatre of Blood looks murky and ill-defined (this is especially true of the scenes shot in the dimly lit Putney Hippodrome, the crumbling theater in which Lionheart and his posse live). Detail and color look fairly good in bright sunlight, but darker scenes are more problematic. | |
The Dolby 2.0 monaural soundtrack sounds good throughout. While limited in range, it has a pleasantly clear sound, and dialogue is always audible. | |
The only supplement included is an original theatrical trailer, which is presented in severely cropped pan and scan (when the names of the supporting actors are listed on-screen, several letters from each name are chopped off on both sides). |

And Jay wright wat a coach can't ask for a better one. what he has done with this university is amazing. Villanova is thee only school. No school is better then Villanova.
2. | Villanova | ||
1. noun.
The college you wish you were at. The most spirited academic institution in America. A place where catholic values and education par to that at ivy institutions meet. Pride. Home of the wildcats, one of THE best basketball teams in the country. 2. adj. Hot, well-dressed,intelligent basketball fanatic. Villanova is pennsylvania's best college
You are such a Villanovan. |
3. | Villanova | ||
This is the University for the academic and god forbid...the good looking too. However, I am not an undergraduate and I do have a brain, this school far surpasses many in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in not only academics but also in school pride, programs and athletics. As a grad student at Villanova who did not attend the school as a undergrad I cannot attest to the biased comments of others but, be assured that the Graduate Programs are far from the "grandfather clause," as aforementioned critiques have alluded to.
5. | Villanova | ||
1. noun: Villanova University, a Catholic school in Delaware County Pennsylvania; the town of Villanova, PA.
2. verb: "To villanova," to take a large advantage for granted, thus directly causing a loss of said advantage. 1. I go to Villanova, Core Humanities is weak.
2. My favorite team is up by twelve points, I just hope they don't villanova the second half. |
6. | Villanova | ||
School for snobby rich white kids who suck. Jerry drives his BMW to St. Joe's with his collar popped, shedding a tear wishing he went to Villanova, even though its a school for faggots.
7. | villanova | ||
1. adj. Preppy, ignorant, obnoxious, racist, for the most part unintelligent, and (miraculously) successful. This is ironically possible not only because of acceptance to villanova due to legacy status but also because of the likely scenario that is working for your father when you graduate and running his business when he retires.
2. n. Lucky fucker who is preppy, ignorant, obnoxious, racist, and, because of this, friendless outside of the villanova community Mike was dressed like a true villanova faggot when i saw him in his salmon polo shirt, collar popped, (i can only assume he was wearing lime green shorts with yellow stipes) driving his bmw home from the country club, where he and his father had just humiliated the "colored" caddie.
That slut is a real villanova. She is popular at villanova and is set for life because of her father's business contacts, but because of her obnoxious disposition, racist comments, and shortsighted/ignorant decisions she is a real social outcast when she is in the company of people who do not attend villanofun. |

Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
Reward for Information Leading to Identification of the Person Responsible for Shooting a Whooping Crane Near Miller, South Dakota
A reward has been offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the shooting of a whooping crane located along 354th Avenue, approximately 17 miles southwest of Miller, South Dakota.
Law enforcement officers from the Service and the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks are investigating the shooting which took place Friday afternoon on April 20, 2012. The migrating adult whooping crane was traveling with two additional whooping cranes before being shot with a high-power rifle as it was standing in a corn field.
Anyone with information should call either the 24-hour Turn in a Poacher Hotline at 1-888-OVERBAG (683-7224) or the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at 605-224-9045 to report any information which will aid officers in the apprehension of the shooter. Callers can remain anonymous.
Observations and other information reported by the public play a key role in solving wildlife crime, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent Brad Merrill. The whooping crane is among one of the rarest birds in the world with a total population of approximately 600 individuals worldwide, which includes captive raised whooping cranes.
The crane which was killed, its mate, and their sub-adult whooping crane were among less than 300 whooping cranes migrating from their wintering grounds found in Aransas National Wildlife Refuge along the Texas Gulf Coast to Woods Buffalo State Park located in Alberta and the Northwest Territories in Canada. This population of cranes is the only self-sustaining population of whooping cranes in the world. In addition to the Endangered Species Act, whooping cranes are protected by state laws and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
