Lakewide Management Plans
Lake Erie
2004 LaMP
One of the most significant environmental agreements in the history of the Great Lakes took place with the signing of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978 (GLWQA) between the United States and Canada. This historic agreement committed the U.S. and Canada (the Parties) to address the water quality issues of the Great Lakes in a coordinated, joint fashion. The purpose of the GLWQA is to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the waters of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem." Paramount to this goal was the protection of human health.
In the revised GLWQA of 1978, as amended by Protocol signed November 18, 1987, the Parties agreed to develop and implement, in consultation with State and Provincial Governments, Lakewide Management Plans (LaMPs) for lake waters and Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for Areas of Concern (AOCs). The LaMPs are intended to identify critical pollutants that impair beneficial uses in the lake proper and to develop strategies, recommendations and policy options to restore these beneficial uses. Moreover, the Specific Objectives Supplement to Annex 1 of the GLWQA requires the development of ecosystem objectives for the lakes as the state of knowledge permits. Annex 2 further indicates that the RAPs and LaMPs "shall embody a systematic and comprehensive ecosystem approach to restoring and protecting beneficial uses...they are to serve as an important step toward virtual elimination of persistent toxic substances...."
The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement specifies that the LaMPs be completed in four stages. These stages are: 1) when problem definition has been completed; 2) when the schedule of load reductions has been determined; 3) when remedial measures are selected; and 4) when monitoring indicates that the contribution of the critical pollutants to impairment of beneficial uses has been eliminated. These stage descriptions suggest that the LaMPs are to focus solely on the impact of critical pollutants to the lakes. However, the group of government agencies designing the LaMPs felt it was also an opportunity to address other equally important issues in the lake basins. Therefore, the LaMPs go beyond the requirement of a LaMP for critical pollutants and use an ecosystem approach, integrating environmental protection and natural resource management.
The LaMP process has proven to be a resource intensive effort and has taken much longer than expected. In the interest of advancing the rehabilitation of the Great Lakes, and getting more information out to the public in a timely manner, the Binational Executive Committee (BEC) passed a resolution in 1999 to accelerate the LaMP effort (BEC 1999). By accelerate, it was meant that there should be an emphasis on taking action and adopting a streamlined LaMP review and approval process. The LaMPs should treat problem identification, selection of remedial and regulatory measures, and implementation as a concurrent, integrated process rather than a sequential one.
The BEC endorsed application of the concept of adaptive management to the LaMP process. The LaMPs employ a dynamic process with iterative elements, such as periodic reporting. Adaptive management allows the process to change and build upon lessons learned, successes, new information, changes in the lake and public input. The LaMP will adjust over time to address the most pertinent issues facing the lake ecosystems.
Working under the adaptive management concept, the BEC recommended that a LaMP be produced for each lake by April 2000, with updates every two years thereafter. The LaMPs were to be based on the current body of knowledge and state what remedial actions can be implemented now. Consistent with the BEC resolution, the Lake Erie LaMP 2000 was presented in a loose-leaf format with general tabbed sections that could be inserted into a three-ring binder. This format allowed the LaMP to be viewed as a working draft of the dynamic LaMP process
The GLWQA directs that the LaMPs take an ecosystem approach to
assessing problem
definition and implementing remedial actions. This concept is
evident throughout the
Lake Erie LaMP. The environmental integrity of Lake Erie is
dependent not only on
various characteristics and stressors within the lake itself, but
also on actions implemented
throughout the Lake Erie watershed and beyond. Urban sprawl,
shoreline development,
climate change, the introduction of non-native invasive species, the
use and destruction of
natural lands and resources, the dominant agricultural and
industrial practices within the
lake basin, and long-range transport of contaminants from outside
the basin all impact the
health of Lake Erie.
The watershed approach has been widely accepted as a necessary practice to achieve environmental restoration and protection. Many of the RAPs take a watershed approach to restoring the beneficial uses impaired in their AOCs. The TMDL program in the U.S. uses a watershed approach to return all impaired streams to their designated use. Many other communities around Lake Erie have instituted watershed-planning efforts focused on improving their local waterways. The challenge of the LaMP is to extend those watershed-planning efforts to include a lake effect component as well. Some watersheds, such as the Maumee (OH) and the Grand (ON), have a more direct impact on Lake Erie than others, but in the big picture all tributaries ultimately contribute to lake conditions in some way. Conversely, some conditions in the lake (i.e. non-native invasive species, contaminants,
water levels, etc.) may also be impacting the tributaries.
The LaMP provides a binational structure for addressing these environmental and natural resource issues, coordinating research, pooling resources, and making joint commitments to improve the environmental quality of the Lake Erie. The Lake Erie LaMP is a program in which ongoing efforts, some of which may be conducted independently of the LaMP, can be strategically synthesized. Some of these actions include: the State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC) efforts to develop Great Lakes indicators; the Lake Erie Millennium Network initiative to identify, prioritize and pursue research needs; the efforts of Canadian and U.S. conservation agencies in controlling non-point sources and agricultural land use management; the land acquisition and preservation efforts of environmental groups such as The Nature Conservancy and the Nature Conservancy of Canada; the pollution prevention based activities of the Great Lakes Binational Toxics Strategy; implementation of the Remedial Action Plans in the 12 Lake Erie areas of concern; the fishery management plan of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Lake Erie Committee; implementation of wildlife management plans; and the efforts of the Lake Erie Binational Public Forum and others encouraging stakeholders across the basin to become involved in the decision-making process to determine the future status of Lake Erie. The LaMP remains mindful of emerging issues that may need to be adapted into the LaMP management scheme.
The Lake Erie LaMP focuses on measuring ecosystem health, teasing out the stressors responsible for impairments, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs in resolving the stress by continuing to monitor the ecosystem response. The role of the LaMP, as a management plan, is to define the management intervention needed to bring Lake Erie back to chemical, physical and biological integrity, and to further define agency commitments to those actions. Although Environment Canada (EC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) are the lead agencies for the LaMP, it takes an array of federal, local, state and provincial agencies and stakeholders to successfully design and implement the Lake Erie LaMP.

iCE280 System Overview
The iCE280 System performs free solution IEF in a capillary column (cIEF) and detects focused protein zones using a whole column UV absorption detector that avoids disturbing these focused zones. This technology is unique in that it has the comparable resolution of traditional gel IEF but incorporates the advantages of a column based separation technology, including quantitation and automation.
It is superior to conventional cIEF performed with single point detection systems, which require a lengthy mobilization phase. As a result, method development and sample analysis can be run on the iCE280 in a fraction of the time required by other technologies and our resolution and reproducibility are superior.
The iCE280, with whole-column detection, completely eliminates the need for a mobilization phase. This results in a unique combination of speed, resolution and reproducibility.

Batista won the Royal Rumble last night and, for a number of reasons, the crowd booed the outcome lustily. Pittsburgh was already pissed that Daniel Bryan was not included and even booed the harmless Rey Mysterio, Jr. when he came out as the last man and not Bryan. When Batista eventually won, they booed even more. But it was nothing compared to this man; he shamed them all.
Batista returned a week ago, after nearly four years away, announced he was going to win the Royal Rumble and then won the Royal Rumble. It seemed...creatively weak. So he was booed. He apparently did not take kindly to this, either.

Interpretive Handbook
89301 :
Gadolinium, 24 Hour, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Gadolinium is a member of the lanthanide series of the periodic table of elements and is considered a nonessential element. Due to its paramagnetic properties, chelated gadolinium is commonly employed as contrast media for magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomography scanning.
Gadolinium is eliminated primarily by the renal filtration. In healthy subjects with normal renal function, the plasma half-life of gadolinium is approximately 90 minutes. Patients with reduced renal function exhibit an increased gadolinium excretion half-life.
Gadolinium has been associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with impaired renal function. In this syndrome, prolonged retention of gadolinium is thought to allow the gadolinium cation to dissociate from its synthetic organic chelator and deposit predominantly in the skin, although other organs may be affected as well. These patients are often severely debilitated by progressive skin thickening and tightening. Fibrosis of skeletal muscle, lungs, liver, testes, and myocardium have also been observed, often with fatal results. Because the ionic radius of gadolinium (3+) is similar to that of calcium (2+), it may also deposit in bone.
Three hemodialysis treatments are required to substantially remove gadolinium from patents with impaired renal function; peritoneal dialysis is not effective.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An aid in documenting past exposure to gadolinium-containing chelates
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated gadolinium (>0.5 mcg/specimen) observed in a 24-hour urine specimen collected >96 hours after administration of gadolinium-containing contrast media may indicate impaired ability to eliminate gadolinium or continued exposure, suggesting either reduced renal function or exposure to anthropogenic sources. Patients with reduced renal function who have been exposed to gadolinium may have an increased risk to develop nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
Elevated gadolinium in a specimen collected <96 hours after contrast media infusion does not indicate risk of NSF.
The normal value is <0.5 mcg/specimen; 95% of unexposed patients will have values <0.1 mcg/specimen. The lower limit of detection is 0.1 mcg/specimen.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Urine gadolinium concentration will be elevated if the specimen is collected <96 hours after administration of gadolinium-containing contrast media. This elevation is due to residual gadolinium present from contrast media infusion. Elevated gadolinium in a specimen collected <96 hours after contrast media infusion does not indicate risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
Evaluation of urine for gadolinium content has minimal value in making the diagnosis of NSF. Gadolinium is present in the effluent of metropolitan sewage treatment plants and in the rivers near metropolitan areas. Sewage treatment does not remove gadolinium. Anthropogenic sources of gadolinium could contribute to low concentrations of gadolinium excreted in the urine.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0.0-0.4 mcg/specimen
Reference values apply to all ages.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Wow the game against BC was very ugly but Miami held on to win 18-7. Dorsey was pathetic and had 4 int.
Every undefeated national champion has one or two games like this. Remember Tenn and Ark? Good win for them. They needed expirence in close games with SU and Washington comming up. Was that interference on that last pick? I know the DB has a right to the ball, but it looked like he ran thru the WR. You can't do that. Oh well, it's in the books now. Crongrats Canes.
Should be interesting to see what the BCS voters think of the Canes this week How about this...NCST is tied with FSU 14-14 in the 2nd quarter :eek: :eek: What is this...Everyone knock off the good teams week??
18-7? Are you freakin' kidding me? I'm glad I overslept that game!:yell:
Miami will drop in the bcs. fsu lost again and they barely won.
The only thing Miami can do now is win games, if their previous opponents lose games... its out of our hands.
BTW, that was way too close for me. However, the Canes can expect me and another 20 or so family and friends goin to the Syracuse and Washington games. Gonna raise H*LL in the OB!!!

With temperatures around 20 degrees and snow in the forecast, Barbara Natoli jumped in the beyond-chilly waters of the Chesapeake Bay on Jan. 25.
If it sounds like a dare, it was.
"One of my coworkers said, 'This sounds really crazy; let's do it,'" said Natoli, a Montgomery County police officer stationed in Rockville. "And we raise money for a good cause."
The Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge takes place every winter at Sandy Point State Park in Annapolis. Thousands of participants collect donations for Special Olympics Maryland in exchange for jumping into the frigid Chesapeake.
This year's two-day plunge was scheduled to continue on Jan. 26.
This was Natoli's 17th year taking part in the event.
Two years ago, she accepted a challenge from Special Olympics Maryland athlete Adam Hays to take the Super Plunge. Natoli and others taking the Super Plunge commit to jump in the water every hour, on the hour, for an entire 24-hour day.
"It's numbing, but it's not unbearable," Natoli said.
This year, Natoli set herself another challenge: jumping in twice an hour during the Super Plunge. She gets through the cold with support from friends taking the plunge with her.
"It's worth it," Natoli said. "Once you meet an athlete, they warm your heart so much the cold doesn't even bother you."
Natoli hopes to raise $12,000 for Special Olympics Maryland through her fundraising page plunge.kintera.org/2013/barbaranatoli. As of Jan. 25, she had raised $10,800.

The Victor® Mini PRO PestChaser® emits high frequency sound waves that effectively repel rodents from protected areas. For use in average-sized rooms, kitchens, garages, attics and basements.
The sound is completely inaudible to people and non-rodent pets. Varying intensity and frequencies of ultrasonic sound waves prevents rodents from getting used to the Victor® Mini PRO PestChaser®. Since the sound is inaudible, a red LED light tells you the unit is working properly.
It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and there are no dead rodents to dispose of so it minimizes human contact with mice, rats, and other disease-bearing rodents.
Reduction in rodent activity should occur within 6-10 days. Estimated service life of the unit is 3-5 years.
Note: Ultrasonic sound cannot penetrate furniture, cabinets or walls. Multiple units required for multiple rooms.
Victor® - Innovative Rodent Control Solutions from the Company You've Trusted for Over 100 Years.
The Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser® is one of ONLY two ultrasonic device granted registration by the Canadian EPA(PMRA) due to their strict testing standards on electronic rodent repellent devices.
Results of Lab Testing of the Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser®
Food consumption was reduced by 67% in treated chambers
Rodent tracking board activity decreased 21%
Results of Field Testing of the Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser®
In total, PestChaser® successfully repelled the rodents from the protected area in 13 of the 17 sites. This represents a 81.3% success rate.
Sixteen sites demonstrated that rodent activity ceased in 3 to 9 days after devices were activated.
The average number of days before rodent activity was stopped was six days.
All orders received before 2pm EST will ship out the SAME DAY*!*Shipping Details »
The Victor® PestChaser® is a highly effective method to help control rats and mice. Here is how the Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser® works to repel rodents:
Non-Repetitive Sound Waves - High frequency sound waves emit a non-repetitive pattern to repel rodents and prevent them from invading your home. With over 80 oscillations per second, PestChaser® uses a jackhammer-like sound to create intense auditory stress for rodents. more»
Location, Location, LocationFirst, identify a room that has signs of rodent activity. Rodents are nocturnal creatures, which mean they rarely surface during the daytime.
Use Multiple UnitsUltrasonic waves behave more like light than sound. For example, music from your stereo can fill your entire house. Ultrasound cannot penetrate any solid surface (walls, floors, ceilings) or travel around corners. This is why you need a unit for each room.
Monitor Rodent ActivityMonitoring the signs of rodent activity will allow you to correctly place the units in high-frequency areas and allow you to direct the unit towards their entry points.
Use In Conjunction With Other ControlsUltrasonic devices should not be used alone to control an established infestation.
The PestChaser® emits ultrasound at varying volumes (peaking at 100dB) and varying frequencies (ranging from 32 to 62 kHz) well above the range of hearing for humans and non-rodent pets like cats, dogs, birds and fish. We do not recommend using the PestChaser® around rodent pets like gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs and other rodent pets.
The PestChaser® unit can only cover the room in which it is installed. The ultrasonic waves cannot penetrate walls or furniture so we recommend using multiple units per room. We recommend using the Mini PestChasers® in average sized rooms like kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms. We recommend using the Heavy Duty and Ultra PestChaser® in large sized rooms like attics, basements, garages, etc.
For proper placement of the PestChaser®, first identify a room that has signs of rodent activity. Plug the PestChaser® into the lower socket of a 110V-AC wall outlet. The ultrasonic waves cannot penetrate walls or furniture. Ultrasound is reflected by hard surfaces and absorbed by soft surfaces. In a room with mostly hard surfaces, like a kitchen, ultrasound will "bounce" around giving more effective coverage. The ideal placement would allow the ultrasound to cross in front of an entrance way. The PestChaser® can be plugged into an extension cord as long as it is placed in an open area along the wall and not near walls or furniture. The Victor® PestChasers® is recommended for indoor use only. They were designed and manufactured to be used indoors and not exposed to the elements. If this PestChaser® is used outside, the unit could potentially short out due to weather conditions, such as rain.

A better improvement would be to scrap windows 8 entirely. I have held off on buying a new computer to avoid being stuck with this invasive privacy problem OS.
8.1 is a fantastic update. Users who cannot get their heads wrapped around the new UI can make 8 behave like 7 with applications from stardock (start 8 and modern mix) but the new UI grows on you with time, especially if you get a touch screen computer. I used to be extremely anti-screen touching and now I find myself touching my desktop's screen from time to time by mistake. The new UI just begs foe you to get more personal with it than using a mouse and keyboard. I can't wait to see how the leap motion controller changes the workspace for those of is with desktop pcs still on the job.
Don't be scared of change
There are Improvements in 8.1? Really? Funny I didn't see any. Now what should happen, in my ideal of 8.1 is when you turn on your computer it says, Installing 8.1. When complete, the computer now says, Welcome to Windows 7. Yes thats right, Scrap windows 8. I will NEVER buy a Computer that will not allow Windows 7 to be substituted for junk software Windows 8.
Magnum Serpentine, you are a paid iSheep obviously! Get the hell out, now. Windows 8.1 is more flexible with the ability to boot to desktop and the lock-screen allows you to use the camera and display one year of photos that was taken on your Windows 8.1 device. There is also the newly redesigned Start Screen, Start Button, and newly re-designed Windows Store and built-in Apps for Windows 8.1.
Get lost you Apple troll!
The thing that people need to realize is that Windows 7 and Windows 8 have different purposes. One is for touch and tablets, the other is for desktops and laptops. One was designed primarily for multimedia, web, and other entertainment uses, the other primarily for productivity and business. Yes, both can be used for all of them, but which one they were optimized for is very different. Which one you get, or whether you get both, will depend on what your primary needs are.
YAAAAAY Microsoft finally figured out that we like using 2 apps at once. In Windos 8 you can have an app full size, 80% or 20% which sucks, because a news reader can't fit while you are watching YouTube. Thanks Microsoft for making WIndows 8.1 just as useful as Windows 7!

Sam Michael has revealed how the organisation that helped push Great Britain to its best gold medal haul at an Olympics in more than a century is assisting McLaren's quest to win this year's Formula One World Championship.
West Australian Michael, who joined McLaren 12 months ago as sporting director, told the Australian Grand Prix 'Keeping Track' Podcast how McLaren has worked with the English Institute of Sport to make its pit stops the fastest in the sport.
At the German Grand Prix in July, a Jenson Button pit stop was timed at 2.31 seconds, the quickest in Formula One history. Michael says the combination of new technology and hours of work spent on making tiny gains could see pit stops of under two seconds occur as soon as next season.
"We work with the English Institute of Sport, the same group that worked with the Olympic athletes, to understand how to use our crew better," Michael said.
"There are three or four things in that area that we consider our secret and are how we've been able to produce those stops.
"There's no question that we'll beat that record again during the next year, maybe during the next race … and from next year you'll start to see under two seconds."
In an in-depth interview with 'Keeping Track', Michael reveals why next weekend's Singapore Grand Prix will be critical for the rest of the season, explains why Formula One has had seven different race winners in just 13 races this year, and discusses the logistical challenge of seven races in 10 weeks to close the 2012 season.
'Keeping Track' is the official podcast of the Formula 1™ Australian Grand Prix. Hosted by Matt Clayton and Cameron McConville, the podcast features interviews with a host of key Formula One names throughout the season.

AAA Cooper offers cross border service to Canada and Mexico, as well as ocean service
to ports throughout the world. Our system ensures seamless service, complete control
and single invoicing for your shipments from origin to destination.
We also offer services at all major ports in the southeast. We can design a solution
for you that may include container drayage and cargo transloading that can lower
your costs and eliminate hidden fees.
Our port services provide important benefits to the port, the shipper and the customer.
The basic concept is simple, AAA Cooper has service centers in or near all of the
southern port cities. We can transload the goods from the container to our trailer
or dock and promptly return the container to the port. The steamship lines have
their containers back the same day; the customer pays no detention charges; and
the cargo is secure at one of our modern facilities.
Drayage - Containers are delivered to our Service Center and returned to the port
by AAA Cooper or select drayage providers with the proper security clearance and
thorough knowledge of port activities and policies.
Transloading - Our staff and equipment unload the freight from the container
and load it directly to a trailer for inland transportation. Conversely, freight
can be unloaded from a trailer and loaded onto an ocean container for delivery to
a port.
Consolidation / Deconsolidation - LTL shipments are received at our Service Center
and loaded onto a container for export when volume is sufficient. We can also unload
an ocean container and split the loads into individual LTL shipments for delivery.
With our own equipment and personnel in San Juan, we have grown to be one of the
top service providers on the island. We offer two sailings each week from the port
of Jacksonville, Florida to give you the fastest transit times possible.

|VT Scenic Road Reviews on Milebymile.com Web Site
I received an email this evening thanking me for writing a review of Vermont's beautiful Route 100. That's impressive enough to even be thanked (in the years since I wrote the review, I have only received a terse note saying I had misspelled the name of a village) but I was surprised that this individual had ridden a bicycle the entire length of the road, 220 miles. Plus he had to pedal up some serious and numerous hills along the way. Quite a feat.
In you are planning a visit to VT, it would be worth spending a few minutes looking over not only the milebymile.com Route 100 review I wrote but also the Route 17, and Route 2 reviews someone else wrote. They are here. These roads are some of the major scenic drives in Vermont but there are many, many more quiet country lanes and back roads all over the state. Ask your lodging host for some ideas on which roads are good scenic drives in the area.

|Good Airline Tips
Thanks to a link at Upgrade: Travel Better Blog (link in the left column of this page), I found another blog called Seat 2B with a very interesting article about Northwest Airlines. Northwest has two flights a day into and out of Burlington VT (BTV) from Detroit Metro Airport (DTT).
Essentially, the Seat 2B blogger, Joe Brancatelli, says Northwest has cut back so much that they run out of flight personnel near the end of each month. Here is a key paragraph from the article:
"Steer Clear"
"Northwest is trying to operate with about 25 percent fewer pilots and co-pilots than it employed in 2000. The inevitable result: massive crew shortages at the end of June when Northwests remaining pilots timed out and could no longer fly. (According to federal regulations, pilots cannot fly more than 100 hours a month.) Northwest canceled more than 1,200 flights during the last 10 days of June. The final 10 days of July and August wont be much better."
To be fair, Northwest is trying to get better. They have a Customers First pledge they are trying to live up to.
As someone who has used the Burlington airport a couple of times a year for the past seven years, I can say it is a pretty good little airport. Much of this is due to its small size. It is easy to get from curb, to parking lot, to gate, to luggage carousel.
A surprising number of airlines fly into Burlington. You an see a list here. And a list of all the flights is here.
I recommend to guests that they also check flights into Manchester NH, Albany NY, and Boston Logan in that order. Also, check JFK because Jet Blue flies from there to Burlington and it is a better-than-average airline, despite some recent troubles.
Using our inn's north central VT location for comparison, Manchester is 2.5 hours drive, Albany is a little over 3 hours, and Boston is 3.5 hours. Time to southern VT will be about an hour or so shorter. We are about a 40 minute drive from the Burlington airport.
Manchester and Albany are good choices because Southwest Airlines flies to both. Southwest has very good prices and, probably more important, competent employees with pleasant attitudes. Ditto for Jet Blue.
Seat 2B is one of several blogs on the new Conde Nast Portfolio website. It will be interesting to see how many airlines advertise in the magazine. Subscriptions are very cheap by the way: just $12/year. [Disclaimer: I am not receiving any compensation from Conde Nast and in fact have never been in contact with them.]

|Places to See Before You Die
A few years ago, Patricia Schultz published a book called "Places to See Before You Die" (Workman Press) in which she recommends the village of Stowe. Personally, I would have just said Vermont. Her book has been on the NY Times Best Seller list for more than three years. Mine has not. In fact, it's languishing in non existence. So, we'll give Patricia the official nod for being the authority in this matter but reserving my right as a resident to expand her selection a tad.
She has also just published a book called "1,000 Places To See in the USA & Canada Before You Die" and Stowe is again included. It's published by Workman Publishing and no doubt available at your local bookstore.
The Travel Channel is broadcasting a weekly series based on the original book. And there is a website on the way.
Stowe, Vermont was also included recently in LIFE Magazine's '100 Places to See,' the only place in Vermont to be honored.
The LIFE Editor, Robert Sullivan, said Stowe was included because "It's pulled off the amazing trick of becoming famous and a destination, yet remained true to its essence: It is what it is, a New England village of great charm and a day-to-day that features village rhythms.
The only thing I can add is that Stowe is great. A great start. Branch out in some easy drives around the state and you will be highly impressed with all the picture postcard scenes you will have around nearly every corner.
For such a small state, there is an amazing number and variety of things to see and do. That's why I started this blog: people sometimes asked me if there's much to do here. The answer is a big "YES", or better, "HECK YES!" If I were to spend my time more profitably writing a travel book about VT instead of this not-for-profit blog, I could publish a very thick book to answer that question.

|Make Your VT Fall Foliage Lodging Reservations Soon
We have been steadily getting calls for lodging during fall foliage. I received a call yesterday from a woman who said she had tried two other places before us and they were both full on the two dates she wanted.
If you plan to travel to VT during the last week of September or the first two weeks of October, you should make your reservations as soon as you can. Rooms are still available but the selection becomes smaller with each passing week.
Whatever you do, don't drive here thinking you can easily find a place to stay. Each year we get some drop-ins who did not know what a busy time of year that is here. We've been fortunate so far in calling around and finding some lodging for them but sometimes it is fairly far away and or not the best accommodation.
A few years ago, the only thing I could find locally was a deluxe suite priced at more than $400 that was available only because of a last minute cancellation. It was late at night and the couple decided to take it but naturally they were not happy to do so. I hope they have other good memories of Vermont besides what they had to pay for a room that night.

|Blue Map is a Great Map of Burlington and VT
(c) 2006 Information Gallery
At our inn, we keep a supply of the Blue Map for our guests who are traveling to Burlington VT. It has a map of the greater Burlington area including such surrounding towns such as Essex Junction and Colchester. Best of all, it has a large section devoted to a helpful close-up of downtown Burlington and the Lake Champlain waterfront.
All the attractions in the Burlington area are shown including Shelburne Museum, Shelburne Farm, ECHO Aquarium, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, cruise ship docks, and the car ferry to NY.
There are numerous advertisements but they are laid out in a similar size and style, and they are listed in a well designed format that makes them helpful instead of intrusive.
The multi-panel fold-out map brochure also has a very good map of most of Vermont and a little of upstate NY including Lake Placid.
You can see all of this online at the Blue Map website. When you are in Vermont, you can find the Blue Map at many information centers, attractions, and kiosks on the Burlington lake front near the ferry and cruise ship docks.

|South West Vermont Blog
One of my favorite blogs has posted a couple of new entries which will be of interest to travelers visiting southern Vermont.
The South West Vermont Blog today has an article about a beautiful museum that I have wanted to visit for a long time, the Southern Vermont Art Center.
And the prior blog entry recommends some "off the beaten path" hiking in the Arlington area which ties in nicely with my post below about hiking.
Southern VT is a beautiful area to tour and I always recommend to travelers that they spend two or three days there and two or three here in the more northern part of the state. That way, it's easy to make day trips not only around Vermont but also the Adirondacks in NY (Lake Placid, Lake George, Saranac Lake, etc), the White Mountains of NH, and even Montreal, an easy 2.5 hours drive from us - roughly the same as Arlington and other southwest VT villages.
This is such a small part of the country, you don't need to pack up and move every night. It is much more relaxing and enjoyable to stay in one or two places and spend your time enjoying each area instead of just driving to the next lodging place every day.
We sometimes hear from first-time guests, especially those from large states like Texas and California, that they are quite surprised at how small New England is, and that they wish they could spend more time in each area getting to know it better. But that's part of what travel means, getting to learn new parts of the world.

You are an expert on your class and you stay up to date on any changes or new theorycrafting. You understand min-maxing everything from gems to consumables is important. You are good at mechanics, good at your role, and good at using your entire toolkit to keep yourself and the raid alive.

About Summit:
<Summit> is a 25-man hardcore progression raiding guild with a 12 hour per week schedule (4 hours/3 nights). Very occasionally, a 4th raid night will be added to accomplish specific progression goals, to make up for connectivity shenanigans, etc. This extra night was used 3 times during ToT.

A man is dead following a car crash Wednesday night.
The Charles County Sheriff's Office reported that at 9:45 p.m. April 17, a man was traveling on Smallwood Church Road in Indian Head when he left the roadway in his pickup truck and struck a tree. He was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead on the scene, police reported.

While I share in the sadness of this defeat, I woke up this morning feeling hopeful for the future and focused on the many gains we have made on our journey for justice for all.The sun will rise again tomorrow.
Let's remember how far we've come, and how fast.
Put plainly, a decade ago, marriage equality was unthinkable. President Bush used fear of marriage equality as a political tool for his re-election only 5 years ago. Just a few years ago, states couldn't sell civil unions as a compromise to marriage equality.
Yesterday, 47% of Mainers voted to recognize what now seems obvious to so many of us: equal should mean equal. Thousands of straight volunteers joined their gay and lesbian friends and neighbors in knocking on doors and making calls - starting a conversation about fairness and equality that will far outlive this one vote.

"Economical and handsome"

We bought this single-cell shade to replace frumpy curtains in the kitchen window left by the previous owners. We didn't need anything elaborate. It does the job, was easy to install, and looks smart. I love the cordless function - it easily adjusts to any height.View this product

|Solenor the Slayer
|Nathrezim (Demon)
|60 Elite
Solenor the Slayer is a level 60 elite named dreadlord summoned in Silithus for an epic quest for hunters. He's in a gnome-form called Nelson the Nice unless you come to bother him with the quest.
Objective of
- Drops [Solenor's Head] [60] Stave of the Ancients.
In Gnome form he can be damaged by a Paladin's Exorcism. And a Warlock can track him with the Sense Demons ability and cast Banish on him. He flees from all attacks.
|This article or section needs to be cleaned up to a higher standard of quality.
Addendum to strategy (Added by Niknak):
- This method only requires the clearing of a handful of mobs, and if done correctly, greatly diminishes the need to deal with his minions.
- This method was completed with the help of a Warlock, one Greater Shadow Protection potion (Note: Shadow resistance was 125 when performed), one Dark Rune and some bandages.
- Like above, confront the demon at the lower end of his path; however, make sure you confront the demon at the bottom of the stone slab that leads up to the Scarab dais.
- You will be using the ledges near the dais to your advantage. Like all Mobs, the demon and his minion cannot jump off of ledges. Some form of acrophobia perhaps. This greatly lengthens the time that the minions must run to get to you.
- Start by attacking him from the top of the stone slab (standard method: Aimed Shot, Serpent Sting, Multi-Shot etc.)
- After performing Wing Clip, run off the eastern edge of the stone slab (to your right). There will be a slight lip to the edge, use it.
- Run to maximum range, near the ledge furthest away from the dias, and continue the attack.
- Wing clip him near the ledge and jump off.
- Once down, pop a Dark Rune and bandage yourself. You should have plenty of time as the minions are still trying to find their way around the ledge.
- Continue the attack.
- After the demon runs down around the ledge, wing clip him, and try to make your way back up on the ledge, making sure to avoid his minions. Note: It might be good to take out the minions that are close to the ledge with Volley at this time but not entirely necessary. Note: You must wing clip him such that when on the ledge you are still in range.
- Repeat as needed.
Alternative strategy (post-TBC patch) added by Bastun: I defeated Solenor on my third try the other night (December '06) and noticed some changes from my previous attempts. On previous attempts, I had buffed with Greater Shadow Protection Potion, Elixir of the Mongoose, Elixir of Demonslaying, etc. We noticed that this night in the first two attempts, the buffs were disappearing - the only one to persist through the fight was Mana Oil. This 'buff eating' may be a bug, or a change introduced with the TBC (2.0) patch. My main problem with this fight has always been the bugs and I didn't see how I could beat it without any buffs. Then I remembered the TBC patch had given me the ability to lay traps during combat.
New strategy: pretty much as above for the pull. Hunter's Mark him, lay Frost Trap, pull him into the trap, Feign Death. Drink up quickly and get to inside max range. Have a warlock duel for Curse of Recklessness. Lay Explosive Trap. Move back to max range and pull as normal - (I used Aimed, concussive, serpent, multi). The frost/concussive means the bugs will hit the explosive trap first. When he gets close, Wingclip or Scattershot/Wingclip. Run sideways, shoot. Every so often, when he has a lot of bugs after you, drop another Explosive Trap. The Bugs are no longer a problem with this method.
No warlock or shaman strategy
- Buffs: Aspect of the Hawk, Trueshot Aura, Traces of Silithyst
- Potions and Elixirs: Elixir of Major Mageblood, Elixir of Major Agility, Onslaught Elixir, Elixir of Demonslaying, Super Mana Potion, Major Shadow Protection Potion
- 1 Mithril Frag Bomb or other explosive
- Location: Southern Silithus near the The Scarab Dais to the south east of Twilight Outpost.[25, 90]
Before the fight clear the area and take your potions and elixirs. Start off by pulling Solenor through a Frost Trap to debuff him and Feign Death to reset him, this will not reset the buff he had. Make sure you are full mana and health and start pulling Solenor through a Freezing Trap. Walk back to gain maximum range and then open fire again, by now he should have spawned some Creeping Dooms so wait for Solenor to come close and Wing Clip him. Take distance again and start shooting if the Creeping Dooms get close use the explosive to kill them and continue shooting. Solenor will most likely fear you once but the protection potion will cushion the blow. If Solenor breaks lose Wing Clip him again and taken distance, the second wave of Creeping Dooms is best killed with a Volley and the third wave with a Explosive Trap you shouldn't need to kill the adds more than three time. Use the Super Mana Potion early on in the fight.
- Aspect of the Hawk
- 2x Greater Shadow Protection Potions (highly recommended)
- Major Healthstone
- Whipper Root Tuber
- Night Dragon's Breath (optional)
- Elixir of the Mongoose (optional)
- Elixir of Demonslaying (optional)
Patch changes
- Patch 1.4.0 (2005-05-05): Added.

Why the Hurry?
January 20, 2009, began with every American living under a system of government that was birthed in the blood of patriots. But by the following morning, duly elected political anarchists had already begun the process of dismantling this 230 year-old form of government. The world's Marxists had always bragged that they would eventually conquer us without firing a shot and now it was happening.
Today, it is not only the nature of this coup that stuns traditional Americans but the blinding speed at which it is occurring. The American people are not just seeing things take place that they could not have imagined 50 years ago; they are seeing things take place that they could not have imagined one year ago.
The question is, what's the rush? Why is the Obama administration pushing this agenda at a rate that defies all political logic–even to the point of strong-arming their fellow Democrats into supporting wildly unpopular policies that could destroy their political futures?
My suspicion is that the Obamanista's scorched-earth approach is being driven by a dirty little secret they know about the coalition that gave them victory in 2008. In a nutshell, I think they are deeply concerned about one of its key members.
The conventional thinking is that this coalition was made up of African-Americans, white liberals and anti-Bush independents. Another big-time player, of course, was the "Kool-Aid-drinkers" who were swept up in the feeding frenzy created by the media.
When it comes to 2012, the Democrats are not worried about the African-American vote or the support of white liberals. They are also confident that the mindless cult-like mentailty shown by the "Kool-Aid-drinkers" is not likely to be cured. The one fly in the punchbowl is that, as the image of George Bush shrinks in the rearview mirror, Obama is losing the ability to use him as a bogyman. This could cause Obama's appeal among independents to plummet and, in fact, there is some evidence this is already happening.
It is the responsibility of high-priced consultants and political gurus to keep all these factions on the reservation and maybe they can. But even if they are able to do so, my theory is that the Obamanistas are aware that there is another member of their 2008 coalition which may not be onboard in 2012. This group is what I call "Purgers."
These are white voters who supported Barack Obama in order to rid the country of the stain of racism. For this particular group, voting for Obama was not about politics; it was about purging themselves of the guilt of slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and every other vestige of racial intolerance. They thought that by electing a black man president, we could show that the days of racism were behind us. It didn't matter whether this was reality or not; what mattered was the perception that it was true. I'm not convinced that these people really cared whether Obama won or not. As long as they voted for him, they proved–at least to themselves–that they weren't racist. In effect, they replaced the old, "I'm not a racist, some of my best friends are black" mantra with, "I'm not a racist, I voted for Obama." Besides, Obama represented a "safe" vote because he was not perceived as some sort of "race-pimp" like a Jesse Jackson or an Al Sharpton.
In any event, an Obama sticker on the back bumper of a car was irrefutable proof that the driver was not a racist. That may explain why even here in North Texas, which is not exactly a hotspot of Obama mania, you see far more Obama stickers still on cars than McCain stickers.
The irony is, at the moment these "Purgers" pulled the lever for Obama, they no longer needed him. In their minds, whatever degree of personal guilt they felt evaporated. However, the point they were trying to make by voting for Obama, does not require them to vote for him twice. This means that in 2012, the Democrats will have to keep these voters in the coalition through policy. The problem is, Obama has already been fully exposed as a hard-line leftist which is a position shared by very few Americans, including Purgers. The other problem is that, since most modern presidential elections are won and lost on razor sharp margins, even a relatively small defection in Purgers could decimate Obama's re-election chances.
This phenomenon is probably keeping the Democrats awake at night. It is also causing the Obamanistas to operate on the assumption that they will only have four years to implement their Marxist agenda. This means that, given the scale of their plans, they've got to act fast and often. To use a football analogy, they don't have time to establish a running game; they've got to throw the ball deep on every play. And that is exactly what they are doing.

The BackJoy SitSmart Posture Plus is an innovative, proven sitting device that provides natural, safe and effective back pain relief by automatically optimizing your posture—anytime and anywhere you sit. Its easy-to-use, patented design works from the bottom up by tilting your hips upright and "floating" your spine in a comfortable cradle above the sitting surface.

BackJoy SitSmart Posture Plus Features:
BackJoy's Active Stabilization Technology:

When you sit with a BackJoy, everything changes. It tilts your pelvis and spine upright into a naturally supported position, moving pressure and strain away from your lower back. It cups your gluteus muscles and floats your pelvis above the sitting surface giving you optimal posture, effortlessly. For the first time, you'll actually feel your core muscles engaged while you sit.
Drug Facts:
SitSmart Size Guide:
If you are deciding between the SitSmart and SitSmart Mini sizes, we highly recommend upsizing to the SitSmart standard size. The SitSmart Mini is designed mainly for children. Adults with extremely petite frames and shorter statures may choose the SitSmart Mini.
