Martha's back: Market has double mission
As the leading cause of death among women ages 35-55, breast cancer is bound to affect a wide swath of our population. An indiscriminate disease that affects a demographic most likely to be in the midst of raising a family or energetically pursuing careers and dreams, cancer of any kind devastates. The chances of knowing someone to suffer the ravages of this illness whether mother, daughter, friend, business associate, or co-worker are about one in two, an incredibly high statistic.
To combat these numbers and raise awareness comes one of the most visible and successful local organizations dedicated to providing funding for outreach and treatment of breast cancer— the Women's Committee of the Martha Jefferson Hospital. This dedicated group of volunteers is sponsoring its 9th Annual Martha's Market at this year's centrally located Omni Charlottesville Ballroom October 18 -20.
The Market distinguishes itself by its eclectic and geographically diverse assortment of boutiques. Clothing from Georgia, antiques from Alabama, and food from Wisconsin will be on sale all three days. That's not to say that our local purveyors are not getting in on the act. Bashir's, Blue Light, LushLife, Eloise, Hamiltons', O'Suzannah, and Rattle and Roll on the Downtown Mall have pledged to make a donation to Martha's Market as well as offering special treatment to those whom attend the event. Pick up a special treatment card at the Market and receive discounts and other perks from these establishments.
Funds from the Market make possible many services that include free mammography vouchers for women who may find cost a barrier to the test, women's health screening days, a women's health liaison to provide support, and Check it out! a program to ensure high school girls start on the right path to breast health. Just in time for a little early Christmas shopping, Martha's Market brings together a plethora of vendors that can provide a jump-start to the holiday season as well as to preventive care for your health. Don't save the breast for last.
Martha's Market takes place at the Omni Ballroom on the Downtown Mall on Friday, October 18 and Saturday, October 19 from 10am-6pm and Sunday, October 20, from 11am-4pm. Admission $5, children under 10 free. Parking is free at the Omni parking deck and at the Water Street Parking garage with stamped ticket. Vinegar Hill lot is $3 per day for visitors to the Market.

That's how The Twelve feels.
You guys kept asking when I was gonna break out the road bike again. Well, here it is.
I spent a LOT of time on the rear wheel, a lot of time trying to tweak the rear brakes to work properly, and it's KIND OF usable. The Twelve is anything but "alive", however. The rear brake still needs some more work and the proper solution to my woes is still a new rear wheel.
Along with Hybridzilla, I lost a lot of stuff that I've come to rely on. Getting The Twelve back into commuter duty was an interesting game of digging through some old stuff that I'd upgraded, scavenging stuff off of the carcass of The Goat, and simply learning to deal without some stuff.
- DiNotte 200L
- Trek Incite 11i computer
- Headland CMT wedge pack (and all its contents)
- Blackburn Crossrack
- Trek DiscoTech tail light
I had a Trek Incite 6i on The Goat. That came off and went into the 11i's mounting bracket just fine. I'm missing all the extra features of the 11i, but hey... I still have a bike computer, I guess.
I also stole the small wedge pack off of The Goat. The theif made off with my CO2 inflater, pedro's levers, multi-tool and glueless patches. I picked up a new inflater and patches today. I have plenty of tire levers kicking around.
The lack of a tail light is freaking me out. I have a small blinky on my helmet but eeh. You know. The lack of a rack is going to be a serious cramp to my (pannier-loaded) style. I really don't like the backpack. The Park MTB-3 got me out of so many binds that I think it's going to feel a little odd knowing I don't have it. The headland CMT held a TON of stuff.
Taking inventory of the stuff I need to get back into the game full force in my perceived order of most pertenent to least:
- Tail light (got my eye on the PB Superflash)
- Rear Wheel (Shimano Acera, something cheapish?)
- Rack -- Okay, scratch that -- John in Calgary hooked me up
- Multi-Tool. The MTB3 rocked.
- Eventually, another DiNotte, before the mornings get too much darker and the nights start coming on too much sooner.
I'm going to ride to the bus tomorrow morning, I may ride all the way home. I haven't really gotten to shake The Twelve down yet, so I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road tomorrow with a wheel that's buckled into a pile of spoke-spaghetti, 7 miles from home, 7 miles from work, and 4 miles from the nearest bus stop.
I'm hoping I can get Hybridzilla back, but this will have to work for the time being.

In less-breathable houses, water has an easier time entering the building envelope and vapor has a tougher time leaving. As a result, newer homes are more likely to suffer water damage than older homes. Kick-out flashing is more important than ever to divert rainwater away from cladding. Inspectors should know where they should be located and what common defects to look for while inspecting home exteriors.

want need a ceiling fan in my living room. I looked at a few wiki-how type articles on installing them, and it looks like they need more than 2 wires, but when I opened up the light fixture on my ceiling, it looked like it only had 2 wires, a white one and black one.
My apartment is pretty old. When I looked up there with a flashlight I could see a ceiling joist right next to this box, so I think it is strong enough to hold it. Do I have everything I need electrically here to install a ceiling fan?

Why the Death Notice of Congressman Barber Conable Caught this Historian's AttentionNews at Home
Last month, America lost one of its great statesmen. Barber B. Conable, a 20-year Republican congressman from New York and former president of the World Bank, died at the age of 81.
I first met Barber Conable in 1994, as he enjoyed retirement in his hometown of Alexander, New York, a village southwest of Rochester. I was a graduate student researching a dissertation on Gerald Ford's presidency, and since Conable had been Ford's close friend in Congress and during Ford's years in the White House, I knew that he could provide valuable insights. Conable invited me to his home, which turned out to be a veritable museum of American history.
His study contained a priceless collection of Iroquois masks and tomahawks. I noticed framed, meticulous pencil sketches on some walls, and he explained that they were just doodles that he had made while a congressman.
Just doodles? They looked beautiful, and they had been enough to impress Ronald Reagan. The president had heard about the congressman's drawings, and asked to have some. Conable sent a few samples to the White House. In return, the president sent a page of his own sketches, on White House stationery, to the congressman. "Barber," the president wrote. "These are just doodles. Yours are art."
When I interviewed Conable, I learned that he respected and liked Ford the most among the six presidents whom he worked with, a line that ran from Lyndon Johnson to George H. W. Bush. Ford's combination of fiscal and personal integrity appealed to Conable, and Ford's down-to-earth humanity furnished the precise antidote to the imperial presidency that the nation needed at the time.
"Most presidents think they know it all," Conable regretted. "That's partly because they're elected, and they know they're anointed by God and the American people to do their thing. Jerry knew he wasn't." To see that quality in a president, Conable reflected, was "very, very refreshing."
The afternoon of our interview was a snowy winter day, and after we finished, I expected to leave to face the cold outside. Instead, Conable asked, "Won't you stay for dinner?" I was flattered and delighted.
When I met Barber Conable that day, I felt like he had always been my friend. As I got to talk to him more over the years, I grew to understand that it was so much like him to welcome me, a perfect stranger, into his home, invite me to stay for dinner, and make me feel at ease in his company.
Conable embodied the virtues of small-town America. He was born in Warsaw, New York, just five miles from Alexander, and went to Warsaw High School. When he graduated from Cornell University, World War II was raging, and he enlisted as a Marine and fought in the Battle of Iwo Jima. While in the Pacific, he learned to speak Japanese well enough that later, during his political career, he could converse with Japanese dignitaries who visited Washington.
After the war, he received a degree from Cornell Law School, editing the law review for two years and graduating at the top of his class. He hung out a shingle in Batavia, a small city midway between Buffalo and Rochester, but interrupted his law practice to rejoin the Marines and fight in Korea.
In 1962, Conable's political career began when he was elected to the New York State Senate. Two years later, he ran for Congress, and was elected despite the overwhelming Republican repudiation that year, which included Barry Goldwater's drubbing in the presidential race.
Conable quickly earned the respect of his Capitol Hill colleagues and was later voted the "most respected" member of Congress. He was a man of unimpeachable probity, and established an iron-clad rule of accepting no political donations more than $50. The principle at once astounded and frustrated colleagues, who took in sums far more generous, but Conable stood by it.
During the Watergate scandal, Conable's integrity became a welcome relief for a disillusioned and dispirited nation. Conable had been a loyal Nixon supporter, but the president's behavior left him feeling betrayed. The scandal's denouement came when Nixon released transcripts revealing that he had indeed tried to obstruct the FBI investigation of the Watergate break-in. "This," Conable said, "is the 'smoking gun.' " Reporters immediately seized on the phrase, which entered our lexicon and became an immortal line from this dark chapter in American history.
Conable never forgave Nixon for misleading the nation. When Conable became president of the World Bank, Nixon sent him long, hand-written letters offering advice on international affairs. Conable never answered them, and refused to attend Nixon's funeral.
Conable belonged to an unlucky generation of Republicans, always laboring in the House minority, and Watergate made them unluckier. After the scandal, support for the GOP plummeted, and by late 1974 just 18 percent of voters nationwide said that they belonged to the party. Republican moderates seemed an especially endangered species. As Conable observed, "The suburban middle-class people, who are humiliated by their support of Richard Nixon, are either going Democratic or going underground." The resulting breach helped conservatives surge to great strength within the GOP. Through it all, Conable remained a voice for moderation, and in 1976 he steadfastly supported Gerald Ford for a full term, despite a thundering primary challenge from Ronald Reagan, in which the former governor almost snatched the nomination from the incumbent president.
By the late 1970s, Conable became the ranking Republican on the powerful tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. Although he had studied medieval history in college and had no background in economics or finance, he was a quick study, and he became an expert on the nation's tax structure. In 1981, he steered Reagan's 25-percent tax cut through the committee. Conable also put the "k" in "401k." As a way to protect the pensions of Eastman Kodak employees, a major constituency in his district, Conable amended section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. What Conable helped to create became a staple retirement plan for millions of Americans.
Conable may have also planted the seed for one of the most well-known political partnerships of recent years. While George Bush was vice president, Conable had him over for dinner. That evening, Conable also invited a congressman whom he wanted Bush to meet, Dick Cheney of Wyoming. Bush seemed to hit it off with Cheney and later, as president, he asked the congressman to serve as his defense secretary. As the nation now knows, Bush's eldest son grew to like and respect Cheney, too.
Relinquishing power was just as important as exercising it, Conable believed, and in 1984, after ten terms in the House, he announced his retirement. "The vitality of the system depends on new people and new ideas," he explained.
But one year after Conable left Congress, President Reagan appointed him to head the World Bank. As president of the institution, he tried to redirect its priorities on fighting world poverty, and he pressed for innovations such as developing the Polish economy as it underwent reform. He also reduced the Bank's bureaucracy while nearly doubling its capital budget. In 1991, he retired when his term ended.
His retirement was unusually active. He sat on the corporate boards of the New York Stock Exchange, Pfizer, and the American International Group, and he served as a trustee for his alma mater, Cornell. He chaired the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, and was a regent of the Smithsonian Institution. His travels took him frequently to Washington, New York, and overseas.
For all his activity and travel, Conable remained true to his hometown roots. While in Congress, Conable had returned home once a week, meeting friends every Saturday morning at a hardware store in Batavia for coffee and donuts.
The klatch kept him well grounded, allowing him to see constituents and hear their thoughts. The ritual spanned his two decades-plus in the House and at the World Bank, and he carried it on during his retirement.
In Washington, Conable witnessed history and communed with political giants, from presidents to prime ministers. Yet once his career was over, he disdained the idea of staying there, clutching the remnants of his power to lobby and peddle causes. That was mercenary, he thought, a misuse of the power and influence that the people had entrusted in him. He preferred to return home, spend time with family and friends, give to the community, and lead a life that was, in many respects, ordinary.
Conable and his wife, Charlotte, took pleasure in looking after their property in Alexander. In their large back yard, he planted a variety of trees, and during one of my visits to his home, he drove me out on a small tractor to show them. I could name only a handful; he pointed out each one, identifying it, probably two dozen different types in all.
But I'll always remember my first visit with Barber Conable, for it marked the beginning of a warm friendship. As I left his home that winter day, I saw the former congressman take out a snow shovel and begin removing snow from his walkway. There was something simple yet grand in seeing him shovel snow, a statesman who could slip away from the power and prestige of national government and tend to chores at home, much like George Washington did at Mount Vernon during his retirement.
Like Washington, Barber Conable was a model public servant and private citizen.

But Ralph, I thought you said you were a Republican!
Ralph E. Luker - 12/13/2003
Hear! Hear!
One of the last of a breed, the respectable small town Republican Congressman. They absolutely don't come the same anymore. We've got to wonder why in an age of cant, rage against reason, and rigid ideologically driven 'cookie-cutter campaigns' we'd probably not even be able to nuture such a talent in the Republican party. They'd just never make it into the leadership ranks. He stood for everything the Republicans no longer can say that they do: fiscal rectitude, 'open hand' dealings, bi-partisanship, comity, culture, reason and learning, and finally, honest accountable government.
To see just how far we have fallen from this bygone age, I don't recall a single obit or mention of his passing, or a comment from any current Republican of note holding office today. Anyone of the current crop would probably greet you with a shot gun, a lawsuit, or a rank of security guards should you dare deem them fit for a friendly interview in their plush K Street digs or secluded well guarded estates some decades hence.
Stanley Kutler - 12/10/2003
Conable was one of my favorite Watergate interviews. Such Republicans had a special depository of contempt for what Nixon had done. What I liked best is that Conable refused to submit to hypocrisy as evidenced by his refusal to acknowledge Nixon's kibbitizing advice on world affairs while Conable headed the World Bank. Good piece.

Natural health care, fitness and nutritional products for overall wellness
Nutritional products made with our unique Lifeplus know-how and nature's most effective combinations. Our passion is to deliver the highest quality support for everyday wellness.
Our natural health care products are all about the fusion of science and nature.
The science of how our bodies work – and how they use natural processes and ingredients to optimise performance. This understanding, of the relationship between fitness, nutrients and our bodies, is something that goes into every product we make.
Taking our lead from nature we use only the finest ingredients, applying our unique insight to combine them in a way that allows the nutrients to work in synergy and to increase their overall effectiveness. We take great care with every product, manufacturing them sensitively and sustainably, ensuring that their potency is retained throughout the process.
There are 3 key principles behind our products.
Founded through a partnership between Bob Lemon, a pharmacist by trade, and Dwight Mckee, a specialist in oncology, who both had a passionate interest in how nutrition plays a key role in health and wellbeing, they had a unique insight into how nutrients can be carefully combined to support holistic wellness and this insight still informs our product development today.
We use only the finest ingredients and manufacture our products in a sensitive and sustainable way to ensure we retain the potency of all ingredients throughout the manufacturing process – for example we use cold processing to minimise heat generation as heat can destroy the potency of the enzymes we are working with.
We seek tirelessly to find new natural ingredients that help to improve overall fitness, health care and well-being. We find ways to combine them in a way that supports our natural body processes. Our innovative, proprietary PhytoZyme® base that provides the bonding agent for our products is 100% natural and supports the assimilation process of getting the nutrients in our products into our systems. It is a new way of binding ingredients together – and is just one simple example of how we do things differently.

Matt and Kent Damon had a personal investment in a recent charity benefit for Massachusetts General Hospital - it's where the elder Damon has been receiving treatment for a rare, incurable cancer.
The 68 year-old is suffering from multiple myeloma, which is described as an accumulation of cancerous plasma cells. Reports claim Damon's disease is in remission, but he will never be completely free of the affliction.
"The Adjustment Bureau" star took the charity opportunity - called "The One Hundred Celebration," held in Boston - to personally thank the staff of Massachusetts General.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"My family is so grateful for the care you've given us," said Damon. "It's deeply humbling to see how many people here are committing their lives to helping others."
He later admitted that the news of his father's illness came as a complete shock.
"We've lost some close personal friends to cancer in recent years, but I never thought it would happen to my dad, the marathon runner." He then added: "It sucked."
Damon's "Bourne Identity" co-star Chris Cooper was on hand at the event to lend his support, as were Sen. John Kerry, New England Patriot Jonathan Kraft, and "American Idol" runner-up David Archuleta.

- Over the last decade or so, an alarming number of traditionally British expressions have found their way into the American vocabulary. This page offers a growing list of Britishisms that have been widely adopted in the U.S.–that is, they are not "one-offs." Each entry offers a definition/American equivalent, followed by quotes representing the first and most recent American usages I've found.
- Some entries include a link to a Google Ngram. This is a nifty tool that allows you to search for the frequency with which a word or phrase was used year to year. The link provided here compares the use of the Britishism and the traditional U.S. equivalent in the "American English" corpus between 1990 and 2008, with a "smoothing" level of 0. (Don't ask.) In some cases–e.g., advert, bits–Ngram data is not applicable because the word or phrase can be used in two or more different ways.
- For each entry, readers are ask to vote on their opinion of the Britishism in an American context. By "over the top," I mean that the word or phrase (still) comes off as mannered or affected. In my humble opinion, the key factor in this is whether there's an equally good American equivalent.Thus, we already have the perfectly fine words "ad," "advertisement" and "commercial," so there is no excuse for "advert." Same with "fire"/"sack" and "on vacation"/"on holiday." On the other hand, we don't have an expression that succinctly expresses the meaning "run-up" does. So if you use it, good on ya, mate. (At some point, I am going to have to start a blog about not one-off Australianisms!)

Richard Littlemore | February 16, 2012

Heartland response would be a useful PR tactic
The Climate Strategy that was emailed to the DeSmogBlog with a package of material from the Heartland Institute's Jan. 17 Board of Directors meeting is serving as an excellent distraction from the legitimate issues raised in the other documents and reinforced by the excellent research paper by DeSmogBlog contributor John Mashey.
The DeSmogBlog has no evidence supporting Heartland's claim that the Strategic document is fake. A close review of the content shows that it is overwhelmingly accurate ("almost too accurate" for one analyst), and while critics have said that it is "too short" or is distinguished by "an overuse of commas," even the skeptics at weatherguy Anthony Watts's WUWT say that a technical analysis of the metadata on the documents in question does not offer sufficient information to come to a firm conclusion either way.
But in the tradition of the famous, and famously controversial "hockey stick graph," the challenge to the single document has afforded the DeSmogBlog's critics – and Heartland's supporters – something comfortable to obsess about while they avoid answering questions raised by the other documents.
In the case of the hockey stick, people such as Steve McIntyre at Climate Audit have led a chorus of criticism for years, alleging that a supposed statistical flaw in Michael Mann's excellent and prescient work should be sufficient justification to dismiss not only Mann's original graph, but all of climate science. This, notwithstanding the fact that dozens of other climate reconstructions have validated Mann's conclusions and replicated the hockey stick shape of his graph. Thus, the hockey stick has been a convenient weapon for those (like Joe Bast, President of the Heartland Institute) who would like to take people's attention from the legitimate science of climate change.
Now, we have a case where Bast admits that some dope on his staff emailed Heartland's whole board package to a stranger. Yet rather than praising the opportunity that this provides for independent observers to judge the performance of a taxpayer-subsidized body (Heartland is a registered charity), as Bast did when someone stole the so-called ClimateGate emails from leading scientists such as Mike Mann, the Heartland boss has attacked the veracity of the Climate Strategy and used that to attempt to dismiss the legitimacy of the other material (Heartland Institute Responds to Stolen and Fake Documents).
The deniergang echo chamber has since jumped on that chorus, with sites like Marc Morano's Climate Depot, Steve Milloy's Junkscience, and Anthony Watts at WUWT all sputtering in outrage, even as Watts confirmed that, well, the information in the document pertaining to him was, but for a rounding error, almost too accurate.
The DeSmogBlog is committed to accuracy. Joe Bast says the document is a fake, a statement we take with a grain of salt given the Heartland Institute's previous dissembling on the subject of climate change and its discredited position on teh safety of second hand smoke. In the circumstances, if the Heartland Institute can offer any specific criticism of the Climate Strategy or any evidence that it was faked and not, actually, written on Joe Bast's laptop, printed out and scanned, we would be pleased to consider that evidence.
In the meantime, how about everybody take a moment to look away from the shiny penny in the magician's left hand and concentrate instead on the 100+ pages of damning evidence falling out of his right sleeve.

The real meat of the issue is in the other documents. Even though the Strategy document seems to accurately reflect information from the remaining material, it is not important outside of that context.
Heartland will have to perform some amazing conjouring tricks to discredit the other documents. Just saying "someone has forged the documents and they are not the same as the ones I wrote" will scarcely get traction, unless a demonstrably independent umpire is given access to the originating email and its attachments. Who can be regarded as sufficiently independent of influence from Heartland's well-heeled donors to be credible? The IRS? The FBI?
The genie is out of the bottle. Good luck trying to stuff it back in. Good luck keeping the tax status of a Charity, after the IRS is finished trawling through the records. Good luck getting any sympathy from people like me.

the strategy document contains an originating timestamp indicating the Pacific Standard timezone. If so this suggests a (poorly) faked document or else the Heartland writer was in the Pacific timezone at the time of creation.
One might wish to look for timestamps on all the documents.

Keep it simple!
Or the author simply had his PC set to the Pacific timezone (for whatever reason).
The point is that the alleged Pacific timestamp does not necessarily mean that the physical document was scanned in a Pacific Standard timezone geographical location.

That went well
You answer the wrong question. No one cares if you have no evidence supporting Heartland's claim that the Strategic document is fake. The question is do you have evidence that the fake document is real? That is the line of evidence that a court of law generally would want to know from someone making accusations.
Gringo replied on Permalink
The accusation in this case
The accusation in this case comes from Heartland as they are the ones claiming the strategy memo to be fake.
For all we know it is genuine because 1) it came in the same batch as the other documents and 2) it covers largely the same subjects and mentions the same figures as those other documents.
While it is fairly simple for Heartland to definately show the document to be fake by providing the email their staffer send out with a list of the attached documents (where this strategy memo would thus not have been included), it is odd and perhaps even suspicious that they have not done so.
What better way to proof 'those damn liberal treehuggers are nothing but scum who like with Climategate committed fraud' than by showing the world their undeniable proof?
The police and FBI who Heartland claims to have contacted regarding this issue (despite the local FBI denying an ongoing investigation on the issue as I recently read somewhere) will most likely only look into the issues Heartland has denounced. Judging by their press-release and fundraising email, that is limited to theft and computer fraud alone. "We have reported the identity theft and computer fraud to the police and to the FBI." http://motherjones.com/blue-marble/2012/02/heartland-institute-documents-climate
Why haven't they denounced the forgery? They state themselves (see article linked above) that the forgery was "apparently intended to defame and discredit The Heartland Institute" and that it contained "several obvious and gross misstatements of fact."
Have they perhaps ommitted to denounce the alleged forgery to law inforcement because they do not want the police to look into it? It sure sounds like it. What do they have to lose? If the police would confirm their allegation and state the document to be forged, they'd only gain because then too they'd be able to paint those "liberal treehuggers" as nothing but scum (which is what they are doing now) and thus limit the damage the other, non-fake documents have caused.
But what if, and this is pure speculation because I do not know if this is legally at all possible in the US, what if someone else denounces Heartland because of 'false allegations of forgery'? The denialosphere is already mentioning one particular 'treehugging' blogger and a Heartland Senior Fellow at the American Spectator did exactly the same. Would someone denouncing Heartland for false allegations be sufficient for law enforcement to launch an investigation and force Heartland to hand over the computer files related to their outgoing email with the documents?

Shiny penny
Mr. Littlemore,
I am glad you said that the one document is a distraction like a shiny penny. I think this whole leak of Heartland documents upstages Dr. Mashey's research. People will conflate what we have really learned from open sources with what may or may not be true and what may have been obtained illegally.
Heartland and the denialists will scream about being the victims of a crime, while all the damning evidence in Dr. Mashy's report gets overlooked or confused with allegedly "fake" material.
I really would like to have a better sense of who gave Desmogblog these materials and who prepared this package. Maybe they did all of this themselves. Some of it's bad, but perhaps the worst is hidden. These documents make Heartland seem like a victim because they are being represented as taken by illegal trickery.
The denialists showed me that they could not be trusted because they stole emails. That's why I decided to pay attention to climate science. That's why I learned the scientists are telling the truth. I think our side should be sure we don't stoop to breaking the law because then we are lowering ourselves to their level.
It seems like the other side wants to make it seem that we are no different than they are in benefitting from illegal tactics.

What is the possibility
that the person who sent Desmog these documents would come forward and verify the authenticity of the document being claimed as a fake by HI? The most they would get would be a slap on the wrist for identity theft and a few other small charges. It shouldn't be to hard to track that person down if you don't already know who it is.
What I don't get is why you didn't verify these documents with HI before posting. According to Megan Macardle at the Atlantic there were all sorts of glaring red flags that it was likely a fake. What a pickle.

Even if they don't get any money, they'll devistate us so called 'warmists'. The fact that they won't sue means they are lying through their teeth, pure and simple.
No amount of badgering sources, hand wrangling or anything else will reveal the truth. Take it to the courts and be done with it. If Heartland doesn't sue we'll just call it complete and total fact. OK?
By the way, in Canada, if those documents were fake, it is a clear cut case of defamation, which Heartland would easily win.
chas_rasper: So why doesn't Heartland sue? I mean if its so fake… its easily a devistating win if they are in the right.
There aren't enough balls between Heartland's board of directors to sue.

Identity theft
Phone pranks are not identity theft. When I phoned the Vatican in 1968 , clained I was the archbishop of Ottawa and asked to speak to the Pope they , while unamused, were unupset.
The caller is interesting. Whoever it was a lot of knowledge was necessary. After all , the information was sent willingly with no questions asked.
Who to call? Had to be someone used to such requests, with immediate access to the requested documents and no need for supervisory permission.
How to ask. The wording had to be usual to the organization or flags would have gone up.
What to ask for. Asking for something that didn't exist could cause suspition.
It would seem that only someone intimate with the upper levels of the organization could have done this. Joe Bast fitts the profile.

Even if they are successful, it will mean people will be focused on the story for much longer than they would like. The damage could be irreparable.

Whats in the other sleeve
Indeed, it is time to get serious, and start looking at the big bucks, instead of a shiny penny used as a red-herring by the Heartland supporting blogosphere.
First one : The Anonymous Donor. Even mainstream press does not mention him. Still, he seems the 600 pound gorilla in the room :
The Anonymous Donor alone has provided the Heartland with more than $ 12 million over the past 4 years alone (2007-2011).
For example, in 2008 alone, the Anonymous Donor provided $ 4.6 million, which is a whopping 60 % of the Heartland's entire income that year : Here is their 2008 990 form :
According to table 5 of the "Fundraising" document, the vast majority of his "investment" went to "Global Warming Projects".
This, and their 990 form, raises a couple of questions :
- Who is the Anonymous Donor ?
- Why does he almost exclusively fund projects that attempt to discredit climate science and teaching of climate science in schools ?
- How is the Heartland's tax-exempt 501(c)(3) "charity" (no taxes payed by the institution, and tax-deductable for donors) status affected by the fact that they have a SINGLE, unidentified donor which provides more than 50 % of their revenue ?
Regarding that last point, there are more issues that put the Heartland's 501(c)(3) status in question :
- Single donor funding specific project to his benefit may violate "for the benefit of private interests" rule under 501(c)(3) status
- Single donor who controls which projects get funding may violate "excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial influence over the organization" 501(c)(3) rule.
- Their Angry Badger (Act 10) project, with the action plan described in the "Fundraising" document, almost certainly can be labeled a "attempt to influence legislation", which is restricted under 501(c)(3) rules.
Also, isn't there a way to file a request with the IRS, to request an audit of a 501(c)(3) organisation, in case there is evidence of possible violations of its tax-exempt status ?
It would be great if someone with experience in 501(c)(3) status tax rules could comment on the findings in these documents…

Revoke Heartland's 501(c)(3) status
The Anonymous donor provided $ 12 million in funding to the Heartland over the past 4 years, virtually all on "Global Warming" projects.
What these Global Warming projects by the Heartland seem to have in common is that they attempt to cast doubt with the public on the science of climate change regarding the global environmental effects of the waste product of a more than $ 4 trillion dollar fossil fuel industry.
As an example, the latest project was rewriting the K-12 educational curriculum on climate change, where their message is in direct conflict with fundamental physics and the findings of all major scientific institutions, institutions which provide the scientific basis that are serving as a foundation for policy makers in democratic societies like the USA.
Thus, by itself, any action to spread information contrary to major scientific findings could be considered an "attempt to influence legislation", which would at the very least jeopardize their 501(c)(3) status, and at worst (in absense of solid scientific evidence to the contrary) would mean that their are lying to their audience, the American Public and (as their latests K-12 curriculum project shows) for lying to our children as well. Which is certainly punishable by perjury.
But it gets better. If this Anonymous Donor is be a major investor into the fossil fuel industry that is "influencing legislation" on Global Warming, by funding more than half of this 501(c)(3) institution, he has not just "substantial influence over the organization", but actually has identifiable benefit from his investment, which means that all the rules for 501(c)(3) status are violated.
We, the people, allow a US charity organization to exist without having to pay taxes, and allowing their donors to tax-deduct their donations, if (and only if) their actions and efforts are for the "relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science;…" etc etc. But decidenly NOT to mislead the US public and it's children, cast doubt on undiputable aspects of climate science, spit defamation and slander at our scientists, and influence legislation to the benefit of the very one Anonymous Donor that payed for it all.
I hereby, by the powers granted to the 99 % of the US population, to reveal the identity of the Anonymous Donor and provide evidence that this donor had no "interest" in affecting (Global Warming) political "legislation", or else relief the Heartland Institute of it's 501(c)(3) status, and order the immediate collection of public (tax) debt incurred over the time that the Anonymous Donor sponored the Heartland for it's self-identified Global Warming projects.
And the Heartland is just ONE of hundreds of a network of conservative 501(c)(3) organizations that are enganged in actively denying climate change, misinforming the public about climate science, and actively influencing legislation with political actions that affect global warming.
I think there is some work to be done on the legal front…

So I just followed the links on this article. I'm actually kind of impressed by how egregiously you misrepresented Megan McArdle's post. "Too accurate" is not even close to the argument she was making, and "too short" was the least weighty criticism she offered.
If we want people to believe us when we talk about the dangers of climate change, we really need to try to defend our reputations, not fritter them away on cheap PR tactics that don't stand up to scrutiny. Defend Gleick if you will - there's no hard evidence that he faked anything, and I certainly won't fault you for counting him as more trustworthy than Heartland - but try to use the same standards of intellectual honesty in debating the ancillary issues of climate change as you would aim for when debating the science of it. There's a lot of undecided folks in the world, and you don't want to wreck the one tool that we have for reaching them.

RFID-enabled drivers' licenses help residents cross the Canadian border quickly, without compromising federal security standards.
Since early this year, American drivers returning home across the United States-Canada border have been required to show a passport every time they pass. In Washington state, though, officials have given their residents another ticket across the border: an Enhanced Driver License (EDL) that meets new federal requirements for proof of citizenship.
With extra security features and a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag that's read remotely as drivers approach the border, the state license lets Washington residents re-enter the United States by land and sea at a fraction of the cost of a passport, and without carrying extra paperwork, making for a quick trip across the border into British Columbia.
From a management standpoint, the project is remarkable not only for its quick turnaround from early planning to issuance of the new licenses, but also for the close cooperation between state, federal and Canadian agencies. Over an 18-month period, at a project cost of $8.5 million, Washington state developed the nation's first state license that's also approved for land and sea border crossings, said Washington Department of Licensing (DOL) Spokeswoman Gigi Zenk. The EDL is a model for similar programs in a few other states, some of which plan to roll out their own EDL programs in mid-2008, according to officials at the Washington DOL and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Maintaining a Smooth Crossing
Until February 2008, American drivers returning to the United States could re-enter with a driver's license or other government-issued photo identification. The long-anticipated change requires printed proof of citizenship - even for children - for re-entry into the United States by land or sea. The change is just one piece of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, a blanket policy change Congress enacted in 2004 in response to border security concerns raised by the 9/11 Commission, according to the DHS.
The deadline for the proof-of-citizenship requirement has been pushed back repeatedly in recent years, with passport offices around the country struggling to keep up with spiking demand for new passports. The new law is expected to tighten security along the United States-Canada border, but many are concerned the inconvenience of carrying the necessary documents - such as passports or birth certificates - and the $97 application fee for a new passport ($82 for children under age16) will complicate what had been a simple border crossing.
In Northern states, where business and tourism draw many people to and from Canada every day, the new requirements threaten to make the greatest impact. "Anybody who's grown up here is used to going across the border," Zenk said. Washington state and British Columbia are particularly concerned about a barrier to travel along the border when Vancouver, just across the Canadian border, hosts the 2010 Winter Olympics.
To maintain the smooth border crossing to which Washingtonians have grown accustomed, the state spent a year and a half working closely with the DHS, British Columbia officials and the company that manufactures the state's identification cards, to develop a state-issued driver's license that also serves as proof of citizenship at the border. Zenk said the state expects about 30,000 people to apply for an EDL in 2008. "All our research indicated that most people would be interested in doing this on renewal of their driver's license," Zenk said. An EDL costs $40 - $15 more than a regular license - to cover the extra cost of an in-person interview and additional document processing during the application process.
Inside the EDL
The EDL looks like a regular Washington driver's license, but it has a red banner across the top of the card and a machine readable zone (a more advanced version of the bar code) that officers can scan at the border, according to the Washington DOL. The licenses also include more subtle security features, said U.S. Customs
and Border Protection Spokeswoman Kelly Klundt. These include "the materials they're printed on, the inks, the holograms and the issuance process, which begins with vetting the DMV employees who will be issuing the licenses," Klundt said.
The issuance process for an EDL is one of the program's main security strengths. According to the Washington DOL, staff members involved in the EDL process must participate in special fraud document recognition training from the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Citizens also must interview in-person to receive an EDL, and provide proof of identity and citizenship documents, which are scanned, authenticated and saved in a state database.
The other novel development for the EDL is the RFID chip embedded in the license that allows officials to check a driver's identity even as a person pulls up to the border station. According to Zenk, the DHS insisted on the RFID to keep the border crossing moving quickly, as with similar "trusted traveler" programs administered by the DHS. Because the state is producing RFID-embedded licenses to be read at DHS-run border stations, the tags will continue to require close state and federal cooperation. According to Zenk, the RFID in the license will carry no personal data, only a reference number created by the DHS. Those DHS RFID readers at the border will pass that number along to the Washington DOL database, which then returns the driver's name, address and photo to the officers at the border station.
As in other programs involving RFID, the EDL sparked privacy worries among some Washington residents. People carrying an EDL may be concerned they're broadcasting personal information anytime they leave the house with the license in their pocket, Zenk said, adding that one of the biggest challenges has been this concern about privacy and the new technology. "We've gone to great lengths to tell people that the RFID chip doesn't have any personal information," she said. "DHS doesn't have direct access to our database."
Quick Fix, National Model
Making the EDL a reality required a massive reshuffling of priorities within the Washington DOL, new channels for personal and systems communication outside the department, and new technology in the license itself. "We got our marching orders from the governor to make this work," Zenk said. "Our agency basically reorganized itself to make this a priority, because it was changing the way we do business."
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire first discussed the possibility of an enhanced license with British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell at a summit in June 2006. A month later Gregoire sounded out U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on the EDL alternative, and by March 2007, the state had signed a memorandum of understanding with the DHS to go ahead with the project. "We did this in a very short 18-month period of time," Zenk said. "We're very proud of the fact that we were able to mobilize and get this done when we did." To keep business and tourism flowing freely between Washington and British Columbia, DOL officials knew they needed to have the project ready around the time the new proof-of-citizenship requirements took effect.
Just developing a model for the EDL - including the features necessary to satisfy Canadian and DHS officials - was a months-long process, but Bill Kehoe, CIO of the Washington DOL, said there was no way to proceed with the project without being sure all parties were satisfied with the plan. "That was a critical phase of the project," Kehoe said. "We couldn't have even gone forward without the approval of U.S. Homeland Security."
With a clear idea of the security features and procedures the EDL would require, Kehoe said the next step was building a project team that included some of his top management staff, and tasking them with an assessment of
the DOL's systems needs and a plan for making the project a reality. "We did a thorough requirements document, not just for the card but for all aspects of the project," Kehoe said, adding that the project blueprint grew to 60 pages, while the EDL team eventually included 19 IT staffers and five more contracted programmers.
The deliberate approach the team took during those first few months was a key to success. According to Kehoe, the EDL team on his IT staff was only together from August 2007 to January 2008, but detailed project planning helped them hit the ground running. "All that up-front work really helped our cause," Kehoe said.
To handle the demands of the new EDL program, the Washington DOL opened new channels with U.S. Customs and Border Protection computers. The DOL also needed to make sure the networks would communicate effectively as soon as a driver's RFID tag was detected near the border. The DOL team also addressed the document scanning and processing requirements at every interview office. Kehoe said his team outfitted 12 offices around the state with the scanners and document authentication software called for by the project's security specifications.
The RFID tag itself was another feature tackled by the technology team. Kehoe said Washington's driver's license manufacturer, Oregon-based Digimarc Corp., had never embedded RFID tags into licenses before. Before Digimarc could begin manufacturing the cards, the company needed the DHs's technical specifications for the proper frequency and wattage to program into the tag. Kehoe said the DOL contracted out a handful of its other technology needs to Digimarc, including document authentication, scanning and the facial recognition software that makes EDL applicants match up with the photo identification they provide at the interview.
"We worked very closely with the IT and business requirements," Zenk said. "They had to all walk hand-in-hand to make this work." While Kehoe's team implemented the technology, the rest of the DOL laid the groundwork for other major aspects of the EDL program.
Along with addressing citizens' privacy concerns related to the RFID tag, Zenk said the DOL worked with major trade and tourism stakeholders to build support. The state retooled labor agreements with DOL staff members, who are now required to handle citizenship documents. At the same time, the DOL worked with state legislators to build a legal framework for the EDL program, and with DHS officials to ensure the EDL would pass federal standards. "It's really not often where you see a state work with the federal government and make something work like this," Zenk said. "It was really about developing the systems and doing things right the first time around."
Washington hopes to be a model for EDL programs in other states. A November 2007 online seminar hosted by the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region - a partnership of northwest states and provinces - showcased Washington's EDL program for a few states and provinces. The DHS is working to install RFID readers at the nation's 35 busiest border crossings, according to Klundt, in anticipation of increased demand from federal "trusted traveler" programs and more state-issued enhanced driver's licenses.
Though Washington became the first state to roll out its EDL program in January, Klundt said similar programs are under way in Vermont, New York and Arizona, where state officials also have signed formal agreements to cooperate with the DHS on enhanced license programs.
"Arizona has been staying the course to be ready by summer," Klundt said. North Dakota, Montana, Kansas, California, Michigan and Texas have all shown an interest in the program, she said, noting that even those states without an international border may find an EDL program worthwhile because RFID-enabled licenses would be accepted at any land or sea border crossing into the United States, helping to keep traffic flowing smoothly through the border's tightened security measures.
"We want people to have options," Klundt said, "but we also want people to have RFID-enabled options."

Wonderful rolls! My grandson has allergies to dairy and eggs and this recipe contains neither. I baked these for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them. I did change it up a bit though; wasn't sure if the toddlers would like the seeds. I didn't have any whole wheat flour so I used bread flour, omitted the caraway seeds and added 1/2 tsp. dill weed, 1/2 tsp. dried basil, and 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary. I'm sure I'll be baking these again.

Airport security
| One or more of the authors of this entry was terribly bored.
They may be afflicted with Attention Deficit... hey, we should go fly kites. That'd be so awesome! We haven't flown kites, since, like, summer. Hey, summer is when birds come out! Birds are so cool.
"Flush Central"
"Martha Stewart came over, we had a nice seafood dinner, she gave me a full body massage, and then she packed my bags. Next question please."
Airport security, also known as the TSA (Testicle Search Administration), was originally a form of torture utilized by certain Aztec religious sects in the early 19th century to prevent diplomats and explorers from leaving the country without first being eaten. The ritual basically consists of three parts: first, the tribesman would offer a small animal as a sacrifice to their "terrible supernatural avenger" (or "TSA") by feeding it through a tunnel that emitted harmful rays (also known as a "device"). The victim would then stand spread eagle while a shaman poked around his genital area with a small stick; and the ceremony would reach its bloody climax when a large tribesmen (named "Steve"), having found toenail clippers among the travelers belongings, would beat him to death with a club.
Later on in the year 1977 when a young American (also named "Steve") managed to befriend and destroy all the Aztecs, he brought the tradition to the U.S. under the name "security" which is a verbal corruption of "stick beating".
Airport security in the States[edit]
After moving to America, Airport security was rejected for many years on the basis of being stupid, but was finally accepted as law by president Nixon under the "create a New World Order" initiative (also known as "Operation 1984").
Today it is one of the many forms of state-sponsored torture in America, along with PETA, chastity belts and myspace (among other things). With its historic move to the United States it adopted new principles such as the sacredness of waiting in line and being bored, and the idea that water and hairgel are satan.
The practice of airport security draws influence from a number of leading scientists whose research has led them to believe that substances such as toothpaste, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and spermicidal lube are highly dangerous and are known to explode without warning. The level of danger from a given liquid or gel is determined by its usefulness and the likelihood of it being used either on the plane or soon thereafter. Therefore, spontaneous combustion is particularly prevalent among personal hygiene products.
In the latter parts of the year 2010, airport security also came to encompass the practice of ball groping, thanks to the actions of grand-master ballgroper, John S. Pistole
Other forms of security[edit]
Airport security has also spread to other parts of the world, most notably Japan where it is called "airport seppaku". The primary difference between airport security and airport seppaku is that a stick or large fish is used in security while a katana or lifesize domo kun doll is used in seppaku (the popular Japanese Ashton Kutcher TV show "kun'd" is based on airport seppaku.).

Yup, you read that right. I'm looking for some pieces to try a doodle (proof of concept) of an idea swimming in my head. But before I take the road of purchasing these parts, I want to be sure my idea will work. So I'd like to borrow them for a few weeks.
I'm looking for 4-8 pieces each for the following:
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip Horizontal on End
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clip on Top
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Handle on End - Closed Ends
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Clips Horizontal
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Handle on Side - Closed Ends
Colours don't matter. Any & all are fine.
Hopefully, these can nicely fit into a small padded envelope to save of postage. If you live in Canada or the US, I can return them with extra stamps to compensate for your cost of mailing.
I think I have a decent (if very occasional) BST reputation on this site. If anyone wants to chime in with a character reference, you are most welcome to do that!

Krishna, the preeminent incarnation of God Vishnu, lived life to the fullest. He had divine wisdom, charisma and power, but He also enjoyed mischief, games and the company of His beloved Radha. He was the protagonist in an epic war, inspiring by speech and example. Above all, He is known for loving every living being, for He is every one of them. It is His extraordinary life that Hindus celebrate in this birthday festival of fasting, devotion, drama and games.
Born in a royal family, Krishna was the son of Devaki and Vasudeva. He is the noble philosopher, born to relieve this world of all evil. He is the divine child who brings laughter, love and beauty into life. He is the celestial charioteer whose discourse on dharma to the warrior Arjuna is the heart of the Bhagavad Gita. He is the all-knowing Deity at whose feet devotees lay their troubles. To chant "Krishna Arpanam" is to offer everything in complete surrender to Him with full faith that He will take care of it. It is said that in a grand, cosmic leela, or play, He creates illusions around us to catalyze learning and realization. Killed by an arrow as He slept in a field of grass, He left this Earth at the end of the Dwapara Yuga, and upon His death some 5,000 years ago our present era began.
Jayanti means birth, and Krishna Jayanti is the Lord's birthday. The festival is also called Krishna Janmashtami, indicating His birth on the eighth day of the waning moon in the month of Shravana (August/September).
Anticipating the birth of the divine child, devotees prepare their home shrines with images of Krishna decorated with flowers (particularly tulsi) and lavishly adorned with jewels. The whole house is made festive with rangoli designs, lights and fragrant flowers festooning doorways. The discipline is to fast during the previous day and keep an all-night vigil. Families and communities sing and dance late into the night as bards recall Krishna's youthful antics, His passionate love for Radha and His precious teachings. At midnight, the time He was born, a statue of the infant Krishna is bathed, dressed in new clothes, placed in a cradle and worshiped in an elaborate puja. The fast is then broken, and devotees celebrate and feast for hours. At dawn, women paint baby footprints on the floor leading to the shrine room, a sign that Krishna has entered their home.
Interaction with Krishna is always personal. Depending on the devotee, the love inspired by the Divine energy that is Krishna is like that of a mother for a child, a teen friend for another, a lover for a life partner. To many, Krishna is the ultimate mentor and refuge in challenging, soul-searching times. He reminds us of our dharma, or duty, and explains the philosophical choices we have in life. Ultimately, Krishna shows us the path to God Realization.

Gansfort, Johan Wessel (1420-1489)
Johan Wessel Gansfort, precursor of the Reformation in the Netherlands, born at Groningen, educated in the school of the Brethren of the Common Life at Zwolle. He became the bosom friend of Thomas à Kempis, the famous author of The Imitation of Christ. Throughout Europe he was respected as a man of extraordinary learning. He traveled in France and Italy and visited the papal court. His liberal views, deviating from those of the Catholic Church, led to his dismissal from the faculty at Heidelberg. After this event he lived again in Groningen, and regularly visited the noted school at the nearby abbey at Aduard. In consequence he exerted unusual influence on the clergy of Friesland and Groningen, thus preparing the way for the Reformation in these parts. His heretical concept of communion he stated in a book, De coena Dei (The Lord's Supper). Two scholarly Dutch Humanists, Hinne Rode and Cornelis Hoen, acquainted Zwingli with Gansfort's ideas. From them Zwingli derived his doctrine on the communion. Thus the concept of the Dutch Mennonites concerning communion is not taken from Zwingli, but was taken directly from Gansfort by Frisian preachers.

On Tuesday, July 22, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed on a 12-6 vote, The Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Two years ago the treaty passed in a similar voting style 13-6. Along with the full support of the Democrats, Senators John McCain (R-AZ), and John Barrasso (R-WY), joined in voting, sending the treaty to the Senate floor.
The treaty has continuously been opposed by conservatives who continue to argue on a range of topics they believe deem the treaty unethical including: expansion of abortion rights, threats to certain parental rights, and a shift of power to the federal government from US states. But those for the treaty continue to advocate and dismiss these claims stating they are irrelevant social issues.
The treaty does not aim to put restraints on American citizens; as Chairman Menendez (D-N.J.) said so boldly after the vote, "The Disabilities Treaty is essential to improving the lives of over 1 billion people around the globe with disabilities, as well as the 58 million Americans with disabilities right here at home, including 5.5 million disabled American veterans." So far, the treaty has been ratified by 130 countries and the time to advocate is now. Let's be the 131st to ratify!
The next steps? The treaty is likely to be moved to the Senate floor next week and can be ratified with a two-thirds majority vote, (67 votes).
Email your Senators directly using the CEC Legislative Action Center and asked them to pass the treaty NOW! A sample letter is provided. Thus far, we DO NOT have enough votes to pass, but with your advocacy efforts, we can obtain the 67 votes needed!
We need to advocate to all Senators but targeted advocacy needs to be directed towards:
Georgia: John Hardy Isakson, Saxby Chambliss
Mississippi: Thad Cochran
Ohio: Rob Portman
North Carolina: Richard Burr
Nebraska: Mike Johanns
Indiana: Dan Coats
Missouri: Roy Blunt
Utah: Orrin Hatch
The ratification effort is still going strong and CEC commends those Senators who continue to back the treaty and believe in its mission.

The recent thread about the Aoki blue mono knife got me thinking about Tanaka's blue steel damascus gyuto. I have the petty (which I think is great), and just noticed that metalmaster has updated his site and has everything in stock again. My question is does anyone have this gyuto? At $150 for the 240 and a claimed weight of 150 grams i am sorely tempted. Interestingly the petty is $78 (same knife has recently been picked up by a well-known US retailer and is listed at $140).

Rush Week starts the live performances and will end with the season's first results show.
Not all 30 singers will get to perform, as the judges, Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr., will choose only whom they think are worthy of America's vote, leaving some packing their bags before they get a chance to sing.

House Page Program now accepting pages for 2013 session
STATEHOUSE — State Rep. Sean Eberhart (R-Shelbyville) is encouraging local students to apply for the Indiana House Page Program. The program offers students who are 13 to 18 years old the chance to visit the Statehouse and see a full day of legislative activity.
"Every year, lots of students from our district come to the Statehouse to serve as a page for the House," said. Rep. Eberhart. "It is a great program that rewards students with a valuable experience in seeing how our state government operates."
Along with visiting the Capitol and touring such locations as the Governor's office, the chambers of the Indiana House and Senate and the Indiana Supreme Court, pages get the chance to witness floor sessions and committee meetings and help staff members.
Students who serve as pages are excused from school for the day. Pages are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Statehouse.
Interested students are encouraged to schedule their visit quickly, as spots fill up fast. Pages are asked to include two different dates when they can come to the Statehouse between the first week in January through April. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days to serve. There are no pages on Fridays. To sign up, visit www.in.gov/legislative/house_republicans/off_cms/page or call 1-800-382-9841.

Tire Tubes for ATV & UTV Tires
ATV and UTV tire tubes are generally used as a first attempt to repair air pressure loss. Because of the tough terrain these tires ride on, rims get banged up causing the tire bead to come off the rim. This means the seal is not air tight. Debris such as rocks, grass, twigs work themselves between the tire bead and the rim, causing the rim to leak air.
Inner tubes can fit up to 4 or more different tire sizes. If you don't see you size listed, just give us a call!
How to Tell if Air Pressure Loss is due to a Rim Leak
The best way to determine rim leaks is to submerge your tire and wheel in water. Look for any air bubbles rising from the rim. Don't forget to check both sides of the tire! Sometimes the leaks are so small it is difficult to see or the air bubble will just be one tiny bubble every few seconds. Remember, as your ATV increases in riding speed, this causes the tire to heat up and expand. This will cause any hole or rim leak to grow larger as well.
More Tips on ATV/UTV Tubes
HELPFUL REMINDER ABOUT TIRE TUBES: Tire tube manufacturers are moving toward only producing RADIAL TIRE TUBES due to the fact that they can be used in both radial and bias tires. Still, some tire tubes are made in both radial and bias construction. Just remember RADIAL TIRE TUBES can be installed in both RADIAL TIRES AND BIAS TIRES, but BIAS TIRE TUBES can only be installed in BIAS TIRES. So, if your tire is of bias construction but a bias tube is not available, don't hesitate substituting a radial tube. NOTE: A Radial tube is designated with an "R" in the size (ex. 18.4R30).
