Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2010
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 2. Assessment
Chapter 3. Assessment Generally
Article 1. General Requirements
Section 409
409. Fee for actual cost of developing and providing information. (a) Notwithstanding Section 6257 of the Government Code or any other statutory provision, if the assessor, pursuant to the request of any party, provides information or records that the assessor is not required by law to prepare or keep, the county may require that a fee reasonably related to the actual cost of developing and providing that information be paid by the party receiving the information.
The actual cost of providing the information is not limited to duplication or reproduction costs, but may include recovery of developmental and indirect costs, such as overhead, personnel, supply, material, office, storage, and computer costs.
It is the intent of this section that the county may impose this fee for information and records maintained for county use, as well as for information and records not maintained for county use.
Nothing herein shall be construed to require an assessor to provide information to any party beyond that which he or she is otherwise statutorily required to provide.
(b) For purposes of this section, "market data," as defined in Section 408.1, shall be deemed to be information the assessor is required by law to prepare or keep when requested by the assessee or a designated representative of the assessee.
(c) This section shall not apply to requests of the State Board of Equalization for information.
History.—Added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 523, in effect January 1, 1982. Stats. 1983, Ch. 116, in effect January 1, 1984, deleted former subdivision (d), which limited the applicability of the section to a county with a population in excess of 4,000,000, and relettered former subdivision (e) as subdivision (d). Stats. 1984, Ch. 678, in effect January 1, 1985, deleted former subdivision (d).
Note.—Section 3 of Stats. 1981, Ch. 523, provided that the Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of unique circumstances in Los Angeles County which are not common to other counties. The assessor's office in Los Angeles County has expended considerable time and funds developing a data base from which details concerning properties within the county can be generated. The assessor's office receives numerous requests for specified information available from the data base, but because current law only permits the assessor to charge any party making such a request the cost of duplicating information, the assessor's office must absorb considerable costs in filing such request. This act is necessary to permit the assessor of Los Angeles County to recover the cost of providing information which he is not by law required to prepare or keep.

Hi everyone,
I am doing a final project for my master's degree of TESOL right now. In the project, I need English teachers' perspectives and opinions about grammar teaching. I really need your guys' help.
In my opinion, grammar is important but it is hard to keep grammar teaching interesting. My own experience of learning English was not very fun. I remember my English teachers usually explained the grammar rules for us, and then had us do the grammar exercises. Therefore, in my project, I am eager to explore efficient and interesting ways of teaching grammar. In addition, I will be an English teacher soon after I graduate this year. I hope I could provide my students with interesting experiences of learning English but I don't have much experience. I really need your opinion and suggestion.
Also, in my project, I have tried out the inductive approach. This was actually new to me. I gave students many examples of the target grammar feature of conditional, and guided them to find out the grammar rules without explicit explanation for them. Students' responses for this approach were mixed. While some of them felt it was interesting, some of them preferred more explicit explanation of grammar rules. Could you also give me some advice about this approach?
I really appreciate it if you could give me your opinion about grammar teaching, and share with me some techniques and activities.
Thank you : )

For those of you who are regulars to the blog, you know I often reflect on a special Mayo Clinic program called HABIT.
Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT) is a 2-week program for persons impacted by mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia and their support partner.
A few days ago I completed another HABIT program with 26 participants-persons living with cognitive impairment, spouses, partners and adult children.
This comprehensive, holistic intervention program involves daily memory compensation training, brain fitness, supportive small group therapy, yoga and mindfulness, along with wellness conversations and action planning.
It's more common than not during the first couple of days in the HABIT program to see and feel tension, uncertainty, and uneasiness in those attending. This makes sense; it must take a great amount of courage to show up, gather with a group of strangers and focus on something that stirs up so much fear. And at the same time, it takes sufficient courage to be faced with the risk of allowing our true selves, weaknesses and all, to be seen.
The special thing that participants soon discover is that HABIT is a place where imperfection, fear and sadness are not only allowed; they are embraced and welcomed with compassion.
We feel connection and belonging when we are around others who share in our experiences, our imperfections and our struggles. In this way, we are connecting on the deepest levels that call to us as human beings. And with this connection comes the courage to be who we are, and to believe that who we are — memory loss or not — is more than enough.
Conversely, when we are attempting to hide our flaws we are actually disconnecting from the very connection we need and long for.
Author and researcher Brene Brown in her book "The Gifts of Imperfection" states that owning our story can be difficult but not nearly as difficult as running from it and that embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging. She says that only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover infinite power of our light.
My sincerest gratitude to all the courageous and loveable individuals I was fortunate to spend these past weeks with. From Brown's Book: "We have to be brave with our life so others can be brave with theirs."

With all due respect to Coors Light, I'd say the Sabres must have the worst marketing of any product, entertainment or otherwise. Seriously, if I went by their commercials, I'd say Gilbert Perreault was still the captain and that Baby Joe Mesi had fought his way onto the team.

Hello again, this is just a heavy pic update of where my progress sits with one month till the Halloween countdown till I'm out having fun with my SUIT!
Stuff I still need/am waiting on.
Boots- to finish my shins/top foot armor
bracers-In mail
Since my last post in the other thread topic I have finished the cod piece, which now looks like a metallic sumo diaper (yet it seems to fit) with out the kidney or the "butt plate" It holds nicely and fits snug!
Finished the Thigh armor, painted the shin armor, and am waiting to add velcro to the thigh/knee armor so it helps to stabilize the armor from slipping down when moving around.
Finally took a picture of the Jet Pack, but the indoor colors dont do it justice and looks much better when the sun is out vs indoor+flash pictures....but eh w/e
Added my own Kill stripes vs using decals, looks really amateur but fits me just fine.
I'm not the greatest at weathering but as I am going for quality looking armor, there is a few areas I'm just speeding through, so IF some of the weathering looks a bit weak, yea it probably is. idc, not going for the 501st look just a kick *** battle suit.
So here are the pics minus the knee armor close-up, you can find them on the other post=)
p.s. im working on an ammo belt atm also so it will bridge the gap between the cod/vest*

Joshua Goodman, Assistant Professor of
Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
Respondent: Rep. Tom Sannicandro, (D-Ashland), Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on Higher Education
Goodman will discuss his recent research on the state's Adams Scholarship program, which waives tuition at such colleges for high achievers and was intended to inspire student achievement while keeping high-performing scholars in Massachusetts. He also will address the surprising findings of the study—that winning the scholarship actually lowers a student's chances of graduating from college on time.
Representative Tom Sannicandro will offer commentary on the findings and participate in discussion with the audience following the presentation.

The application provides a way for you to monitor your incoming/outgoing calls usage minutes before the whole month is up. It is like some early warning buffer to curb your calls usage before they go way above your voice plan limit and incur hefty bills later.
The incoming and outgoing minutes are monitored month by month basis. Store for past 12 months statistics.
Please note this application monitored timings are estimated as it read from the smart-phone and most likely may differ a bit from the mobile network operators back-end server logs file. That is, the timing may not correspond EXACTLY to the bill you receive every month but it is a close approximation and hopefully it can help you to control your calls usage BEFORE the bill is sent to you every month.

Pocatello man battles rare disease
POCATELLO, Idaho - Muscles turning to bone may sound unreal to many people, but for one man in Pocatello, it's everyday life.
Edmund Cook has an extremely rare condition known as Stoneman's Disease.
"I'm an author, I have done two of my own books," said Cook. "In math class in high school I designed a game called 'Dimension.' I'm a rebel rouser."
That's just the beginning. He even ran for mayor a few years back. His office is his couch.
"I went from one day being able to drive a car, play basketball, play ping pong, to that night, I tripped in the parking lot. The next morning my leg wouldn't bend," said Cook.
He is one of just 700 in the world who has fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. Over his lifetime, bones grow where his muscles are.
All the studies say there's no treatment. Surgery is not an option because the bones form from trauma.
But Cook is taking an unconventional approach.
"In 1992 I started taking massive amounts of calcium," said Cook. "We thought there was too much calcium, but we learned the body was starving for calcium. The disease has been pretty much, if not reversed, held at bay."
Amazingly, Cook can still stand and even walk with a little help.
"I'm a fighter," said Cook. "I'm a tenacious booger."
That won't be changing anytime soon. Cook is one of 10 kids and has a daughter of his own.
"If I need something they're there," said Cook. "They don't get called often, but if I need something they're there. We were taught to work."
Which is exactly what Cook does. From books to calling into radio shows, even building his own wheelchair ramp, Cook keeps busy.
"Perception is the key to success, no matter who you are or where you are," said Cook. "The world's not done hearing from me."
There isn't a lot that's known about FOP since there are so few cases.
The longest a person has lived with the disease is 72 years old. Cook plans to live much longer than that.
For more information on FOP, visit the International FOP Association at http://www.ifopa.org/en/what-is-fop/overview.html.

Posted by Gene Leganza on November 30, 2012
The use of road maps to illustrate technology plans is fairly widespread. Whether it's a vendor explaining its product plans or a technology architect showing the evolution of a particular area of the infrastructure, road maps are great for communicating what happens when. And when plans as illustrated by the road map get sign-off, they can become a useful tool in change management as well. Someone wants your key resources for a special project? Fine, but all the dates on that road map they just approved just shifted six months to the right. Road maps tell the story of what to expect an organization to accomplish for the foreseeable future, and that's what makes them powerful.
That's why road maps that link traditionally difficult-to-explain areas of technology, such as those related to information management, to specific and highly desirable business outcomes can be a major win for architects looking to communicate what they're doing and why. There's always been a Catch-22 about explaining the value of complex technologies to audiences with no appetite for technical complexity -- but with needed sign-off authority for key resources (like funding). If the EA team has credibility (OK, that can be a big "if"), just showing the interrelationships between business outcomes, business capabilities, IT projects, and required activities in the various EA domains can satisfy the need for "explaining" that complex technology. Or for explaining the need for that not-well-understood architecture process that requires business involvement, such as information architecture development or governance.

How will Buddhism adapt from this point on? One new connection that's becoming clear in the modern world is the link between physical exercise, diet and meditation. Monks, reliant on alms-food, have never been well positioned to manage a healthy diet. Nor do cultural norms see them engaged in exercise. Yet we now know that these practices all support each other.
On this point monks living in the West are much better positioned than those in Asia -- we get healthy food and can have plenty of exercise as well, not being constrained by the social norms so much.
Code: Select all
Take status for an example. As soon as people gain status and rank, they start swelling up larger than they really are. You don't have to look far for examples of this sort of thing. Look at monks. When they start out as ordinary junior monks, they can go anywhere with no trouble at all, along highways and byways, down narrow alleys and back streets, anywhere they like. But as soon as they start getting a little ecclesiastical rank, they start getting abnormally large. The roads they used to walk along start feeling too narrow. They have trouble walking anywhere — their legs are too long and their feet too heavy. Their rears are too large for ordinary seats. (Of course, not all high-ranking monks are like this. You can find ones who don't swell up.) As for lay people, once they're hit by the edge of status, they start swelling up too, to the point where they can hardly move. Their hands get too heavy to raise in respect to the Buddha. Their legs get so big they can't make it to the monastery to hear a sermon or observe the precepts — they're afraid they'd lose their edge. This is how one of the edges of the world kills the goodness in people.

Perception of accuracy depends on a lot of factors. It isn't as simple as putting two guns in a vise and pulling the trigger ten times to see which one makes a better group from 25 yards. Some shooters like one gun some like another and it is a combination of the gun, the shooters idiosyncrasies and the shooters technical skill that will produce the given results.
If you want an accurate defensive semi-auto gun the top choices available today in no particular order are:
1911 (Kimber, Colt, Para Ordinance or Springfield) Take your pic.
Spingfield XD (One of my favorites)
Sig 229 or similar
Walther P99AS
You were not quite clear if it is for carry also or only home defense and plinking. Not that people don't carry every gun on my list, but it plays a role in deciding.
(Excluding high dollar guns which often have as much to do with pride as function, of course given your background you might like handgunning enough to justify it.) Since most everyone who gets into guns owns more than one getting a solid defensive gun isn't a bad start since we know you're not affraid of a little recoil and a large framed gun.

From our Director of Wildlife Programs, Nathan Peden .......
Without question the 2012-2013 Mississippi Duck Season was the most enjoyable for the guys at MS Delta Ducks. As a number of groups continue to hunt with us from prior seasons (50% of the groups were repeats), our staff builds a stronger relationship and overall rapport with the hunters. In completing the fourth full season of operating a commercial duck hunting enterprise, we gained an even greater understanding of what makes the experience enjoyable for the hunters. We have refined our equipment, expanded our planted food sources, and built quality in the available holes while keeping the hunting access affordable.
This season we worked with nine Alabama groups, two Georgia groups, one Louisiana group, and twenty-five Mississippi groups. We managed five exclusives duck lease packages, had thirty-five groups participating in the shared duck leases season hunt program, and offered six cabins for the season. Plans for the 2013-2014 season are to manage at least twelve exclusive duck lease packages, enroll up to forty groups in the shared duck lease season program, and expand the number of cabin offerings. Garrett Holland will continue to lead the field staff hunt guides and will be joined by Dylan Peden and a third field staff hunt guide. I will carry on in my role as director. 2,808 ducks were harvested from 416 hunts in the shared duck leases program.The Yazoo River Hunt Group hunted the most days at 22 and tied the Interfectors Hunt Group with the most ducks bagged on the season 148. Overall the hunt groups averaged 7 ducks per hunt with the Duck Dusters Hunt Group leading the way at 10 ducks per hunt average. The waterfowl Widow Makers had the most decorated gamehaulers with a bufflehead,gadwall,mallards, northern shovelers,redheads,scaup, a snow,specks,teal,wigeon,and wood ducks.
The Simmoms #7 hole yielded the greatest harvest at 212 ducks while Simmons #1 hole was hunted the most frequently at 26 mornings. The best mallard hole was Shell Bluff Back Field followed by the Trough at Boo Lloyd and the Meanderings Mound at Turkey Bayou. Simmons #7 and the Mound also had the best average at 11 ducks per hunt.
We are proud of the product that we offer here at MS Delta Ducks and are hard at work preparing for the 2013-2014 duck season. Give me a call to discuss the shared duck leases season program, a traditional exclusive duck lease option, a hunting cabin for your group, or a combination package. Schedule a tour or reserve your spot. Nathan Peden Director of Wildlife Programs, 601-479-4873.

Phone volume issues
We are currently running 2 UC560 systems. Both systems are almost identical all phonecalls going to AA and next to BACD except one is using SIP trunks only and this system is working fine and second system is using mix of FXO & SIP and on this system phone volume is very low when receiving phonecalls (via FXO or SIP). Does anyone had this kind of problem before? Is there any way to fix this problem?

Title pretty much says it all. Is the SE Fett approved by the 501st?
Title pretty much says it all. Is the SE Fett approved by the 501st?
Yes it is approved.
And it's just ROTJ suit with ESB helmet or are there other differences as well?
Some slight differences, but basically yes. I will try and hunt down the small things that can make your SE a little more accurate.
Definitely. I think all pre-pros are approved to. If you look good, I don't think anyone will care what bucket you're wearing.
I think the shoulders are switched as well.
The wiki just states that it is ESB helmet and ROTJ everything else.
my SE Fett is approved by 501st...
Yes, the SE Fett is a 501st-approved costume.
The LMO pointed me to the CRL on the Legion website which lists: ESB pr-production and Bespin Ambush and ROTJ as the approved Boba Fett verisons. But obviously many of you have gotten your SE Fett's approved. Can somone please post pics or provide a link to reference pics of the SE Fett?
Trust me, it's approved. I've had mine approved for years now.

Three Iona Golfers Named to MAAC All-Academic Team
LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA. - Three members of the Iona College golf team were honored on the MAAC 2012 All-Academic Team, as announced by the conference.
Juniors Doug Hoppe and Sean O'Shea were joined by sophomore Jordan Kral on the list that included 39 student-athletes on the men's and women's side.
Niagara University led all schools with six student-athletes named to the teams. The squads also include five athletes from both Saint Peter's College and Siena College, along with four from both the University of Hartford and Manhattan College. The University at Albany, Canisius College, Iona College and Loyola University Maryland all had three members each named to the teams. Fairfield University had two members, while Rider University rounded out the teams with one student-athlete.

Is that metal they are setting on? If so, in full sun, isn't that like setting them on the stove and turning the burner on?I would also check to be sure they had empty space, and not honey bound. If not, add another super.
You have a massive hive with what appears to be a massive number of bees. Isn't all this hard to handle? Why not split them into 4 hives with a single brood box and single super?
It doesn't look like it was raining very hard when you took that photo. It wouldn't take any longer to lift the lid, slide a super on, and replace the lid than it took to snap the pic. They are outside to let the inside cool. Smoke them in and they will over heat.
I am betting they need room, yesterday! ;)From all appearances, these colonies are very strong.

Police dog teams from Rochester, Portsmouth and Wells, Maine - in connection with the Working Dog Foundation - visited Farmington High School in the morning, and Middleton Police Chief Randy Sobel and police dog Raven searched grades seven and eight at Henry Wilson Memorial School.
No illegal drugs were located in either school, according to police.
Police said they work with the Farmington School District, which also educates Middleton students, to ensure the schools foster a positive learning environment that is safe and free of drugs.
Any student who is caught possessing, using or selling drugs on school property must go before the school board and could face criminal charges, according to police.
"Taking this type action is the only way to ensure that students receive a clear and consistent message about the consequences of this type of inappropriate behavior," according to a police news release.

Some of you may not know but west Tn. Now has ALLIGAOTRS. I have been hunting a spot not more than 20 mins from Memphis for years and knew that there was a gator it has been there for years. This one I have seen it's was around 7 feet long with about 2 feet missing from his tail. But now they have been seen around the rivers in Memphis.
I saw it one night on the news and the TWRA dose not kill the ones they catch. Yes they let them go and the one spot I thought they let them go in was Shelby Forest. If so it is a great spot to duck hunt if you get there first but now you have to fight with the thought of letting your hunting dog go after a duck with gators in the water.
So now in west Tn. As the duck you kill hit the water the race will be on, will your dog or the gator get your duck first?

I have the same laptop. The WiFi adapter isn't showing up. Did you do have to do anything to get it to work?
Works just fine. The only thing that may not work are the dvd/cd touch buttons above the keyboard. Of course I never have never tried to use them either.

Thanks. I'm just starting to learn. I'm following this guide and have hit a few speed bumps. Perhaps you wouldn't mind answering a few questions for me?
While using kismet, I can't figure out how to copy/paste anything. I can't select any text and ctrl-c shuts down kismet. I've been having to type all the SSIDs and such into the text editor. Also, kismet puts a couple dozen files on the desktop.
When I run airodump-ng, nothing seems to happen. Is that normal?
When I run aireplay-ng I get the error "wlan0 is on channel 5, but the AP uses channel 6"
Kismet / airodump questions don't go in this forum. Please read the rules.
I have the HP DV6605us. My issue is with the Nvidia video drivers. When I bring up the Hardware Drivers app, it recommends version 180. On my Ubuntu system it recommends (and I'm using) version 173 for both 32 and 64 bit. And on the Nvidia website they recommend version 190. The card is a Nvidia Geforce 7150m. Could anyone else with this card/laptop share what they are using. This and the "touch keys" above the keyboard have been the only issue for me so far.
EDIT: Video card topic has been addressed at: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...t-install.html

On the same topic..
I tried to install these drivers on the same laptop, dv6000. Downloading the drivers from unvidia and then closing the xserver and running sh nvidiadriver never works for me. It always give me an error with my xconf file and wont let me start the xserver again. I installed this one time before, using the apt-get. It was something like "apt-get install nvida-linux-x86-'thedriver' and it installed perfectly for me. If anybody could help me out with the exact command to ap-get the 190.53 drivers that would be great. I just cant seem to find it again, and im sort of a linux newbie. Thanks!

About 9:30 on a Thursday night, and no one had shown up at The Republican with a single book.
A handful of people who looked like regulars were in attendance at the Irish pub on State Street, but nobody seemed to be here for the once-monthly "book swap" night, where Tom Waits music filled the air.
Pub manager Josh Stasinos screened the 1986 Waits flick "Down by Law" on one of several TVs, as the singer's birthday was the next day.
Soccer is king at The Republican, and normally every TV in the pub is showing a match. Guinness is always on hand, and Stasinos is ready to pour a "perfect" pint, where the creamy head reaches just above the harp logo on the room-temperature Guinness "tulip" glass.
The Republican, billed as an Irish pub, is a long and narrow space, 75 feet from door to rear, with no windows and no kitchen. The front door is made of aged wood and sports brass accents.
Inside, the walls are pale green and pockmarked, while the floors are stained with remnants of adhesives once used to hold down tiles or linoleum.
"It's your neighborhood pub," said bartender Jackie Rumery. "It's super chill. It's drama free. … It's meant to feel like a home away from home in Ireland."
In the back, there's a vending machine offering cigarettes and candy bars. At one end of the bar are two cork dartboards, while other games such as pool, foosball and pinball are also available. Hanging around the place are mirrors and signs bearing the names of Irish beers and liquor. Dim one-bulb fixtures dangle from the black ceiling by single wires.
"It's not much to look at, but it's home," said David Rankin, who doubles here as the "door guy" and a bartender. "It's kind of a giant hallway on the inside."
Near the bathrooms in the back someone has hung a flag that says: "Don't Give Up the Ship." The green, white and orange national flag of Ireland hangs inside and out front.
LJ Andrus is among the regulars at The Republican, affectionately known as a "dive bar" to friends.
"You're here to have beers, hopefully meet new people and have a good conversation," Andrus said. "It's the epitome of a pub."
Two popular weekly events are Monday pub quiz nights and Bacon Night on Wednesdays, when bartender Adam Keithley brings in griddles and 10 pounds of bacon.
Some tote ingredients for BLTs or salad. "I've had people bring doughnuts," added Keithley, who then wraps the bakery item in bacon and fries it.
The popularity of Bacon Night isn't hard to decode. "Dude, it's free bacon," Keithley said. "Who doesn't like free bacon?"
The monthly book swap, however, seemed to falter in its first-Thursday-of-the-month slot in December.
But by about 10:30 p.m., Cat Fennwald brought in a box of books and dumped it on a large table.
The swap was saved, sort of. "Tom Waits night, a success," said Stasinos. "Book swap, not so much."
It's a grand old pub

As I am starting to decide on which Fett to build, for my first build, I was curious. What made you decide ESB or ROTJ Fett?
I am leaning towards ESB because that is my favorite movie and the most memoriable for me.
The cape colors. I love the ESB cape, it reminds me to a poncho or something from the far west. The greenish cape doesn't make too much sense IMO. And besides, you can conver half body with the ESB cape, but not with the ROTJ cape.
I also think that the ESB version has more military colors... I don't think that a feared bounty hunter likes to wear a yellow and blue jetpack. The green one is much sober.
Well for me I choose to go the SE way. I love the ESB lid far more than the ROTJ but I love the ROTJ costume more than ESB. To me with the SE you get the best of both worlds!!
other than the clown colored jetpack rotj fett has the best looking suit to me . true esb was the best movie ever made. i could not do the baby blue jumpsuit.
ESB, because back in the day it was "easier."
Now look at where we are today......
I chose rotj because the sidearm was too expensive for esb
ROTJ because there's no sidearm and I liked the red gaunts better.
ESB. It is still my favorite movie. Also I think the sidearm is a reason to go ESB as well. I like weapons and accessories. Fett has a lot, but who wouldn't want a secondary weapon.
I do not really like the ROTJ jetpack colors, they are too over the top and make it seem more fake to me personally.
Plus Fett talks back to Vader in ESB
...prepro would prob be my second choice.
I really loved ROTJ at the beginning but ESB has grown on me I wanna build an ESB as well really just to be able to do either or
SE best of both worlds. I actually like the coloured jetpack better. Cooler gun too. Its your fett. you can pick and choice what pieces you like. No one will really judge you on it.
ESB has two guns and I dunno the ESB rifle is pretty sick have you ever REALLY looked at it?
The chrome barrel on the ESB blaster is awesome especially when it's weathered right. But it's not enough to make me pick the more monotone (or color-coordinated depending on how you look at it :p) ESB Fett.
Well im going Prepro 1 version 2.5
ESB .. the cape, overall look and the blaster ( if i can ever find one ) lol
ROTJ for me, because of the colors. Red gaunts, green cape. I also like the 18 kill strips better than the 15 lol.

AMES, Iowa — Along with increasing consumer interests in buying locally grown foods come food safety expectations from buyers. Good Agricultural Practices, or GAP, certification can be used by fruit and vegetable producers to meet buyer requirements for food safety. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will hold GAP workshops this fall for farmers who sell directly to consumers and those considering sales to retail foodservices.
The one-day workshops are offered as Level 1: KNOW and Level 2: SHOW. Level 1 is training for growers who provide food to consumers through community–supported agriculture or farmers' markets, or are considering retail foodservice sales. Training covers good agriculture best practices and market considerations.
Level 2 workshops guide farmers in the development of a written farm food safety plan. Farmers considering sales to retail foodservices such as grocers, restaurants, hospitals and other institutions, and those interested in adding value to fresh produce and selling products in a convenience form will have the tools to demonstrate GAPs are in place after attending the workshop. Farmers then can offer food safety assurances to buyers.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach faculty and specialists instructing the workshops include Angela Shaw, food safety; Paul Domoto, horticulture; Catherine Strohbehn, food safety and local foods systems; and Linda Naeve, value added agriculure. The workshops are funded through a grant from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Services Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.
Council Bluffs Workshops – Iowa Western Community College, 2700 Colege Road
Des Moines Workshops – DMACC Continuing Ed Center at Southridge Mall, 1111 East Army Post Road
Dubuque Workshops – Dubuque County Extension Office, 14858 W Ridge Lane
Iowa City Workshops – Johnson County Extension Office, 3109 Old Highway 218 South
The fee is $25 per workshop with discounts for farms and multiple level participation. Attendees will receive a certificate of completion following the program. Registration can be made online at http://bit.ly/12sLsxE . For more information or to book a date, please contact Heather Snyder at 515-294-9020 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Work has officially begun to Develop a Temporary Migratory Habitat Management Program for the Mo. Valley Region.
The focus of the Initiative is to Incentive's a conservation Payment Structure that will pay X dollars per acre to Seasonally pump water to Crop residual such as Corn stubble & Bean Stubble with in the Mo. Valley Region where Irrigation wells already exist or where portable pumps can be placed to pump water and where hydric soils are present that can be manipulated to provide seasonal Migratory Habitat conditions for the Fall Flight.
The primary focus of this project will be to seek out areas In & Around High Migratory use areas but not limited to.
These areas could be 1/2 acre to 10 acres in size and would provide key Fall Migratory Habitat that Attracts, Holds larger concentrations of waterfowl in the region that enhances our present Public Waterfowling Areas for waterfowl hunters and waterfowl.
Some producers may not want any hunting on some acres and for this Incentive structure payments would be lower. Some producers may permit public duck hunting on those acres and for that incentive structure payments would be a little higher. It is key to understand that in order to make this type of program a success we will have to have areas that are Refuge acres for ducks but also we have to have areas where duck hunters can hunt. We will have both.
I think it is important to recognize the limitations of Traditional Conservation programs and traditional conservation program revenues that are generated by sportsmen. Simply put, Sportsmen revenues generated by lic sales, stamp sales are not enough to create the level of habitat that is needed out on the Working Iowa Landscape where Agriculture is the primary use. So the emphasis here is to reach acres that otherwise may never be enrolled in traditional conservation programs.
By generating this program we can ADD supplemental Migratory Habitat Acres to the landscape that enhances our areas permanent Migratory Habitat Attraction & Holding abilities.
Again this is just a brief to advise that work has begun to develop this program and criteria and will take some time to complete. Funding for this initiative will be done by Banquet Fund Raisers in the Region. ( SW Iowa, Middle Mo River, NW Iowa Regions )
Everyone who is interested in this initiative and would be supportive of a program on this nature, please send me your contact information for future references and e mail updates to this specific issue.

aseball is a game of history. It's almost impossible to listen to a game on the radio without being reminded of a record set 37 years ago, or a player whose deeds have never been equaled, whose name is remembered long after he's gone.
He. Most of the names and deeds and records in baseball have been set by men. It's largely considered a man's game. But what if you take a closer look at that history?
The first team of professional baseball players, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, took the field in 1869. They were all male -- the first boys of summer. The first girls of summer, women who were paid to play baseball competed in their first game in 1875.
In the 1870s, an American woman could not vote. She could not own property in her own name after marriage. But she could play ball -- as well as it could be played in an outfit that weighed as much as 30 pounds and included a floor-length skirt, underskirts, a long-sleeved, high-necked blouse, and high button shoes.

Hero next door
July 13, 2012 , 3:02 PM by Alana Mahony
Imagine trying to survive WWII in German-occupied Netherlands by fighting off starvation, only to have food packages dropped from the sky, just in the nick of time.
This was an increasingly distant memory for 91-year-old Geelong resident Helen D'Helin, until a chance meeting brought the whole event flooding back to her.
A life-saving operation by Australia Royal Air Force in 1945 sent food parcels to starving Dutch residents that saved Helen's life, and the life of her family.
Listen hear to Helen's story of how she meets Owen Cook, a Lancaster bomber pilot who flew a plane that dropped food rations over her village where she lived as a child.
Not only was Helen shocked and surprised when she recently found Owen living two doors down the street in Belmont, she also has a chance to get to know the person who changed her life.

• sledgehammer •
Pronunciation: slej-hæm-mêr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A heavy hammer.
Notes: Sometimes you will hear only the first component of this compound word, sledge, with the same meaning. This is because sledge originally carried the whole meaning. When the meaning of this word began fading from our collective recollection, we added hammer to it in order to clarify its meaning.
In Play: Today's Good Word basically refers to heavy hammers: "What happened to my car? It looks like someone took a sledgehammer to it." It may also be used metaphorically in the sense of "like a sledgehammer", which is to say, heavy-handed: "You don't need a sledgehammer to swat a fly!"
Word History: The sledge in this word is unrelated to the heavy sleigh of the same name. Rather, it is related to German schlagen "to hit", and English slaughter and slay. It emerged only in the Germanic and Gaelic languages. Apparently, these languages borrowed it from some non-Indo-European language. Hammer is another matter. We see it in Russian kamen "stone" (from an older kamy), leading us to believe that the original hammers had a stone head. It also appears in several other Slavic and Germanic languages. (Philip Huson didn't need a sledgehammer to convince me to have a look at today's fascinating Good Word.)

Duluth Rutstrum Gear Cruiser Pack
The Rutstrum Gear Cruiser is a very good portage pack. It's probably more space than you'll ever need. It's huge, easy to adjust to your dimensions, and extremely simple. It's heavy and the size makes it easy to overpack. I find it surprisingly enjoyable for fairly small loads, since the one huge pocket makes it easy to just throw things in and head out. For portaging that's all you really need too. Use the included pack liner and your stuff will stay dry no matter how wet the pack gets. The sternum… Full review
Duluth #3 Original Duluth Pack
For canoe travel, packs and other gear need to easily stow in the canoe. If there are portages, containers that are easily carried are also a requirement. These two needs are well blended into the classic Original Duluth Pack. These simple packs have proven themselves over more than 100 years. Background: At a summer party a number of years ago, I had just returned from another trip into Canada's Far North.

Q: We will be supplying ready mixed concrete for a commercial floor project. The engineer of record has added fibers to the project specification. The concrete contractor is now concerned that with this job change, the fibers may slow his placement procedures and has submitted a change order request to place and finish the fiber concrete mix.
Does adding fibers affect the workability of a concrete mix? Do synthetic and steel fibers affect slump?
A: Introducing synthetic and/or steel fibers can change workability and slump. Any time producers consider adding fibers to a standard mix design, they should prepare a trial mix for the concrete contractor's approval.
According to Bobby Zellers, past president of the Fiber Reinforced Concrete Association and now director, engineering services for ABC Polymer, the physical properties of fibers may affect fresh concrete's slump and/or workability. Zellers identifies three main properties to consider.
The type of fiber is important. For example, Zellers notes that fibrillated polypropylene fibers can reduce the slump and workability more than monofilament polypropylene and nylon fibers. And since steel fibers are rigid, mixes can often have less slump, thus affecting workability.
The quantity of fibers in a mix will definitely affect the slump and consistency. Zellers explains the influencing factor is the increase of surface area from the fibers. In addition to the coarse aggregate, the mortar must also coat the fibers. If the mix's mortar fraction is insufficient, then the effect on the slump and workability will be greater.
Producers must monitor fiber quantity when determining the proportioning ingredients in a fiber-reinforced concrete mix. More fibers require more mortar. Synthetic fibers, when used at 0.5 to 3.0 pounds per cubic yard, typically do not require changes to the mix proportions. In general, synthetic fibers at 0.5 to 1.5 pounds per cubic yard will reduce the slump 1 to 2 inches in a well-proportioned mix. At this dosage level there should be no effect on workability.
But when the fiber dosage reaches 3.0 pounds per cubic yard and above, producers should review the mix proportions. It's best to batch a trial mix to evaluate the proportions of conventional ingredients and the effect of the fibers. At dosage levels of 3.0 or more pounds of synthetic fibers per cubic yard, Zellers suggests including a mid-range or high-range water-reducing admixture. For steel fibers, He suggests that when the dosage rate reaches about 40 pounds per cubic yard, producers should consider adding a water-reducing admixture and modifying the mix design.
The length of fibers affects slump. Researchers have reported that longer fibers will reduce the slump to a greater degree than shorter fibers. Zellers says that a 1 ½-inch-long fiber will reduce the slump more than a ¾ -inch-long fiber of the same type, at the same dosage level.
Zellers cautions that a reduction of slump does not also result in a less workable mix. His experience with fiber-reinforced concrete suggests that with a properly proportioned mix design, fibers will have little or no effect on the workability. He backs this conclusion by referencing the effect fibers have on the four properties of the plastic concrete found in the ACI 116 definition of workability: ease of mixing, placing, consolidation, and finishing.
If properly introduced into a properly maintained mixing system, synthetic fibers will homogeneously distribute within three to four minutes in a truck mixer. Zellers says the key is to avoid adding bags of fibers at the same time as the cement. The mixing of steel fibers does require special attention.
Fiber-reinforced concrete is as easy to place as a mix without fibers. According to Zellers, researchers have reported that mixes containing fibers will have a lower pump pressure than the same mix with no fibers. When the mortar fraction of the mix is sufficient to coat the coarse aggregate and fiber, coarse aggregate remains suspended, thus reducing friction at the pipe's wall.
In a properly designed concrete mix, consolidation of the fiber-reinforced concrete is no different than concrete without fibers. However, when the contractor over-consolidates the mix, the fibers can quickly separate from the coarse aggregate. Some would view this as poor distribution of the fibers where, in fact, it is a result of poor consolidation practices by the contractor.
When finishing a fiber-reinforced concrete slab, Zellers says contractors should not experience any significant delays or quality concerns. Zellers observes that a vibrating or laser screed actually helps encapsulate fibers at the surface of the slab within the mortar, creating a more durable surface.

Professor William Ayers from the University of Illinois was asked to speak at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Urban Schooling, but when he got off the plane in Toronto, Professor Ayers was informed he was not allowed in the nation of Canada because he apparently was a threat to the country's survival. After he got off the plane, "the border guards reviewed some stuff and said I wasn't going to be allowed into Canada." According to officials with the Canada Border Service Agency, the "Ayers Case" could not be publicly discussed. During the recent election campaign noted defenders of free speech such as Sarah Palin and John McCain cited the background of Ayers who belonged to the Weather Underground group about forty years ago. Professor Ayers has written or edited numerous books and is active in urban education.
If the past plays a role in determining who is allowed into Canada, will the Canadian Border Agency bar Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and George Bush from entering since they are associated with terrorism in Iraq that has cost the lives of over 4,000 American soldiers as well as the deaths of thousands of Iraqis?
Grow up Canada and join the modern world.

Hello everybody,
I have been reading this forum for some time already, enjoying the magnificent pictures of your costumes, but haven't registered as I won't be doing Boba or Jango in a reasonable time (maybe in few years).
I currently "making" the clone of Lisas' parts (you may know her from CTN), though it will be long before I finish as I'm studying in other city and have no time to do this when visiting home... Hope to do some progress in free time around New Year.
And now something about me... So my name is Kamil, 18 (soon my birthday, time to buy myself some SW-related present) from Poland. I always liked SW, though I got more interested in it (by attempting to make a costume) quite recently. And important thing to mention is that I always liked Boba
Well if you want to ask me something else feel free to
Thank you and I hope to spend some nice time here.

Today's guest is philosopher and author John Armstrong, whose latest book is In Search of Civilization: Remaking a Tarnished Idea. Beginning Saturday 24th October, John will be giving a series of public lectures at the NGV, 'Great Ideas That Have Changed the World'.
I would love to describe how I write, but I am afraid it would strike most people as repulsive and incredible (a very bad combination).
The morally acceptable tip of the iceberg is this: I write longhand notes, using a fountain pen (now broken, substituted by a roller ball, substituted by a fibre tip, substituted by a cheap biro). I write vast quantities of notes then lose them, abandon them, get confused about which note is where and never refer to them again. I write instructions to myself ('get on with it', 'that's enough notes') - then I lose the instructions.
I start all over again on my old laptop - opening a cave system of documents - one leading to another, but with no overview, no sense of how one gets to the outside world.
I often drink coffee while I'm writing - but have a maximum of two cups per day - which limits my creative span. If I use them up quite quickly - by 10.00 am in the morning and I haven't done anything constructive, that's often it for the day as far as writing is concerned. I like working in cafes and find that having other people around is not much of a distraction.
I'm obsessive about chairs and desks - but I'm not at all sure that the obsession is productive. I'm so concerned about the look of a desk that I don't take convenience into account. I have a lovely little desk (made in Holland in the late 19th century) - it's got a curved front and rounded back - from which papers keep on slipping. My chair is German, early 19th century in what's called Biedermeier style - it's not very comfortable.
But the biggest, most important writing tool is my book collection. I don't use libraries; or, rather, second-hand book shops are my libraries. I read always out of affection, rather than form a sense of duty and don't undertake 'research' - I'm always trying to home in on what I like, what I enjoy or fin moving or inspiring and then I try to explain to myself what it is I like, admire or find exciting.
Old books have the very best price-value relation of anything on the market. (I recently got - for about $8 - a two volume old hardback edition of Anthony Trollope's political novel Phineas Redux.)
I care very much for the existence of old books and find their presence very encouraging. I suppose they are token of hope: books can have a long life; writing is at attempt to say something of permanent value.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 490
Ok, We Make Zines is a community. Sure. Zine fests I would argue as being a culture. I approve of zine culture enough to review zines for a big zine. But I think you're missing my point. I think smaller communities should arise within this, but overall, I think that zines should be too broad for it to be considered a community and it's a bad sign that everybody thinks so much alike that they can call it a community, more specifically a zinester community. Would a cop fit in the zinester community? Would a bigot? These are extremes, but I guess I'm asking what a zine community is. If the cop and the bigot don't fit than why not? Because the community isn't excepting of them? Than that is my problem with the zinester community. I'm adult and can confront and deal with what offends me on my own. I would rather my standards not be set by a community. Is a library a community because all the books are in the same place or is it too diverse and spread too thin? I think that any medium should have the same amount of respect granted it, especially zines.
Erin H said:"The term zinester and the zine community that is being pushed is really confining. I write a zine because it is a medium I have access to, not because I want to be a part of a community. Have you heard of a book community that just calls themselves that because they all make books? Republican writers chilling with Leftists and people who write cookbooks chilling with a sci-fi author because they are all booksters?"
This is what I don't get. By joining WMZ and posting this message, you joined a community. You may not want to be in a community, but you are. Have you ever attended a zine fest? Do you trade zines with other people? Community! It's underground (sort of), but it's there.
hey everybody, maybee we shouldn't be arguing, maybee we should be MAKING zines!!!! cause zines really are great ya know. i have sooo much fun with zines! i get to make friends & talk to people and do stuff, and i feel good because of it!!
there are SO many zines that i like, and because of those zines> they were made by other people> zinesters > i am happy to call myself a zinester too!!!
I've used the term zinester for 20 years, it doesn't bother me at all. But I rarely get hung up on words or feel confined or pigeon-holed by them.
idk... personally i feel weird whenever i say/type "zinester". i sounds so... idk, juvinile maybe? to me it feels like it lacks seriusness... but hey that's just what i think... but what else can we call it?
idk... personally i feel weird whenever i say/type "zinester". i sounds so... idk, juvinile maybe? to me it feels like it lacks seriusness... but hey that's just what i think... but what else can we call it?
craven makes valid points. there can be an assumption that the zine community has become homogenized, and i can see that to a point especially regarding some discussions previous on here that some more opinionated zine makers have particular standards on what is and not acceptable in zine making. i belive cocoapuss as well as myself openly questioned these 'standards' before just to be attacked. i am not a vegan, or vegitarian or feminist or anything, these things have nothing to do for my condition or speak nothing as to who i am as a man, a person, a chicano, a poet, etc...and sometimes it feels that we are being force fed other peoples lifestyle and politics which i dont do with my zines and frankly a large percentage of zine makers subscribe to these ideals and in turn i can see how someone can mistake all of us for doing this.
but is this argument simply semantics?

AMES, Iowa – "Do I have to go to church today?" How parents respond when children ask questions about religion and spirituality can impact their youngsters' behavior. During April, family life specialists discuss how parents can help children as they begin asking spiritual questions in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Questions about religion can be challenging for parents. You may be at ease explaining your own beliefs. But are you equally at ease with probing questions, especially about a religion or belief system different than your own?" asked family life specialist Donna Donald.
Children's thoughts about spiritual themes are a natural part of human development, added family life specialist Lori Hayungs.
"As we discuss the research on this topic, join the conversation on the blog. Tell us about your own attitudes about religion and how you are guiding your child in developing a belief system," Hayungs said.
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.

Yup. If they don't want guns on the premises, there isn't any exception in the NC statutes that you could use to get around that. The fact that there aren't signs posted doesn't matter.
I'm in a similar situation, so I've done a lot of research on this. My employer has "no firearms" signs posted on the entrance roads and it is a gated/fenced facility.

Okay, 1, 2, and 3 are pretty solid, but I'm going to add a few things.
In #1, circling is probable if the 'yote is being lured in, as in someone using a varmint/predator call. If the critter just happens to see a decoy sitting quietly at close range, there's a good chance it will charge right in without circling, so keep that in mind.
For #2, camouflage is worthless unless a person can sit still. A 'yote can detect movement from a long way off, so for best results the hunter has to sit as still as possible, moving only their eyes. Set up your position with this in mind.
Also, add a keen sense of hearing to the coyote's bag of skillz. If that camping chair squeaks ONCE when you shift your weight, every 'yote in the county will be heading the other way -- fast.
I'm not questioning what your girlfriend told you, but I will say that I find it kinda strange that the 'yotes are traveling in large groups. Other than family groups of 4-5, I've never seen a large group traveling/hunting together. Is it possible that these are feral dogs, running free and feeding themselves by hunting? Have any CoyDogs (coyote/dog crossbreeds) been reported in this area? These are the only two things that I can think of that would explain a larger group of canines (no wolves in that area, I assume? ). In all fairness, I have to say I've not hunted Coyotes in the South/East/SouthEast in more than a decade, so things may have changed a bit, but I've never seen groups that large in the Northern-Midwest or North-Central areas.
If you're going to limit your shots to 50 yards or less, have you considered using #1 or #3 buckshot instead of slugs? A swarm of .30 or .22 caliber lead balls might be more effective on moving/multiple targets than a single hunk of lead, and shotgun slugs can bounce/ricochet in unbelievable ways.
Also, make sure any pets (especially dogs) are SECURELY locked-up before the hunt begins, and not released until it's over. I've heard several sad stories about loving-family-pets/guard-dogs running out to join the hunters in the dark, with predictable and sad results.
Hope this was helpful.

text: I had to check that quarterback stat of 40 years. I think it was a typo and you meant 4? I saw at least one review that gave the Lions an A+. I'm not sure that this guy wasn't the Eagles 4th choice of the four players. They may have preferred the other guys to protect their quarterback but maybe Johnson will work out the best. Shocking that the Bills took Manuel #16. he was thought to be the fifth best quarterback and a round two guy. think the Eagles maybe wanted him in round 2. I don't think they will draft Geno Smith today even if he remains there. Probably a good decision. I'm not too exited about The prospect of Vick at quarterback. He is slow to make decisions and cannot hold onto the ball. That is exactly what Kelly does NOT want. The Eagles have the third pick today. The Lions go 4th. So you can look at it like two very late first-round picks. They both should get great players. I think the Eagles make go for a safety. They sure need one. Maybe a cornerback like Cyprien? The Lions go OT? CB?

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Libya: A Year of Revolution and State-Building
A conversation with Dirk Vandewalle, Associate Professor of Government, Dartmouth College, and author, "A History of Modern Libya." Professor Dirk Vandewalle has spent nearly 25 years studying Libya and the regime of the late Muammar Gaddafi, whose dictatorship spanned 42 years. Vandewalle is the associate professor of government and adjunct associate professor at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. Vandewalle served during the summer of 2011 as a political advisor to Ian Martin, the U.N. special envoy for the United National Special Mission in Libya. He has also been performing work in Libya that has been supported by a special grant from the New York-based Social Science Research Council. In addition to his ongoing role as a Libya advisor, Vandewalle is also working on a political biography of Gaddafi that will be published in 2013 by Oxford University Press and Hurst Publishers. The second edition of his book, A History of Modern Libya, was published in March 2012 by Cambridge University Press. This new edition covers the Benghazi uprising of February 2011 and its aftermath, including the October 2011 death of Gaddafi. This event will be moderated by Professor Meghan O'Sullivan, Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School.
