PlanToys' Build-a-Robot, featuring a modern design aesthetic, recieved 2011 Good Design Award in the Children's Products category. The toy was designed specifically to address the needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) though it appeals to children of all ages. The primary function addresses the need to identify emotions. Secondary functions include sensory issues and fine motor skills. The toy is manufactured with organic, kiln-dried, reclaimed rubber wood, water-based dyes and non-formaldehyde glue in a factory that is powered by biomass and solar energy. Packaging is recycled paper and soy ink. Four interchangeable, geometric-shaped heads featuring the emotions of happiness, sadness, anger and surprise feature a range of textures to address sensory issues.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 110 children in the U.S. have ASD, a developmental disorder that causes significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. A recent study, published in The American Journal of Psychiatry, from the Yale Child Study Center and George Washington University found that 2.6 percent of all children aged 7 to 12 in Goyang, South Korea had some form of ASD. This rate, of 1 in 38 children, is more than twice the rate previously reported in developed countries

One of the terrible consequences of uncontrolled illegal immigration has been that, after crossing the border and violating our federal laws, many of these immigrants then begin driving without having acquired a driver's license. And of course, if they don't have a valid driver's license, they also lack proper auto insurance.
In Denver, Colorado, an illegal immigrant by the name of Francis Hernandez was driving recklessly when he caused an automobile crash that killed three US citizens. Hernandez had been arrested 16 times, but—as usual—had not been deported. He had repeatedly obtained automobiles he then drove illegally and recklessly. His callous disregard for American laws eventually resulted in vehicular homicide of three law-abiding citizens, including a three year old boy.
In response to the growing frustration Denverites felt about the problem, citizens passed the voter-initiated "I-100" ballot initiative, aimed primarily at "illegal immigrants" who were driving illegally and putting citizens in danger. The Denver Post, in yet another of its traditionally liberal, pro-immigrant editorials, encouraged voters to "Vote 'no'" on the initiative. Democrat Mayor John Hickenlooper also has come out in opposition to the initiative.
Their opposition was based upon two main reasons: Denver "city ordinances already give police the right to seize vehicles, including those operated by illegals, under numerous circumstances. Initiative 100 would impose an additional requirement in such cases of showing proof of citizenship and/or legal immigrant status in the United States." The Post declared that "it is clear that the real aim of Initiative 100 is to address the problem of undocumented immigrants," spinning the reasoning into a "racial" issue, and obviating the fact that the reason for the initiative was to mitigate the safety risk these drivers pose to citizens.
The second reason: "The inclusion of the words "illegal alien" in the initiative struck many as unfair targeting of one specific group."
Another article in the Post, by Christopher N. Osher, clarified that the new law would not force impounds, and still left it up to the officer's discretion. According to Revekka Balancier, spokesperson for Mayor Hickenlooper, the language in the initiative "intended to make such impoundments automatic, 'but the legal analysis does not support that.'" The language in the bill was quite clear: "the ballot language stated officers "shall" make such impoundments when a car is driven by an unlicensed driver," with emphasis on cars driven by "illegal immigrants".
The Post also stated that "federal appeals court already has ruled that vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers can be impounded only if they cannot be driven away by a licensed driver or secured and legally parked. Otherwise, such impoundments violate constitutional protections against unreasonable seizure."
Fast forward to today. A local airman, Brian Furman, had recently returned to Colorado after a lengthy deployment to Iraq, where he served on the front lines, gathering intelligence about bomb-making factories and terrorist activities. While in Iraq, his Missouri license had expired, a detail he had overlooked when he was deployed because he was trying to stay alive while performing his hazardous duties.
In spite of Furman's explanation that he had been in Iraq for over a year and could not renew his license during that time, the officer that stopped Furman impounded the vehicle. The city charged Furman a $2500 fine to recover the vehicle (it has since gone up to over $4000 with storage fees).
Furman cannot afford to pay the $4000 fees. What's more, according to information that I have not yet been able to verify, two judges have dismissed the charge of driving without a license, because Furman possessed a license and insurance and current laws allow a grace period for returning servicemen whose licenses have expired while overseas.
But the city of Denver refuses to waive the impound and storage fees!
In a nutshell, US citizens cannot drive a car without a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Illegal immigrants, on the other hand, can be stopped repeatedly and released. And now that the people have spoken in an attempt to curtail this problem, instead of pursuing the illegal immigrants who have violated our laws and drive illegally, they instead take a hard line against US servicemen returning from war.
Did you ever believe that the Democrats supported our troops?
*UPDATE* I have heard it confirmed AGAIN that 1) Furman WAS in fact covered by federal law that gave him a grace period to get the license renewed, and 2) Judges DID in fact dismiss the charges against Furman, and 3) the city refused to return the vehicle and waive the fees!
In other words, as they say in Venezuela: "You're innocent, but you're still our prisoner!"
I urge Denver residents to demand that Furman's car be returned, the fees waived, and the city should apologize to the man.
Next, they need to edit the law so that no US citizen who has a license--even if it's expired within 60 days, as long as they have insurance on the vehicle--should have their car impounded. That was NOT the intent of the law.
*UPDATE 2* This morning on the Peter Boyles radio program it was revealed that certain city employees (the Safety Supervisor, I think was his title) had spread false rumors about Furman, saying that the military police had come to pick up the kid and other airmen in the car with him, insinuating that they were in trouble on base. Boyles confronted the city employee on the air and trapped him in his lie. It was GREAT radio.
Following that episode, Mayor Hickenlooper came on the radio and cleared everything up. The car will be released to Airman Furman. There is only a $400 fine that has to be paid. Boyles challenged the mayor to help pay it for the airman: Boyles will pay $200, and Hickenlooper will pay the other $200.
Kudos to Peter Boyles for his bulldog insistence on this issue, and to the mayor, who finally "manned-up" and ended this ridiculous saga.

Both P1 and Echo Fox are sitting at the bottom of the NA LCS standings; reminiscent of 2015 Team Cost and 2014 Team Velocity.
While Echo Fox is only 1-9, they have amazing infrastructure, the leadership of Froggen and the motivation of Rick Fox. However, the current Echo Fox line-up is a lot like pre-2016 TSM: a team that is heavily dependent on a mid-lane carry. Froggen represents the highest percentage of their teams damage dealt, carries the most gold and top 5 in terms of damage dealt per minute. To heavily depend on one individual is an unsustainable team composition, which is the reason why Echo Fox has been struggling to win.
Phoenix 1 on the other hand just picked up their first victory against Apex. I feel like Phoenix 1 has a much more-well rounded line-up compared to Echo Fox. Mash and Gate have been a very strong performing bot lane, even against the toughest of opponents. Additionally, Inori has also just been introduced to the line-up and communication issues and synergy should be improving every week.
While Echo Fox is tipped to win in this match-up, I feel like Phoenix 1 is more well-rounded and better than a team that just relies on Froggen to carry.
Prediction: 50% Phoenix 1 | Echo Fox 50% (2-1 Phoenix 1 victory)

Right after the global meditation today – this is what I channeled/experienced:
Hey. I promised to leave you this message. In case you lost your road.
In case you dropped back from the higher dimension back on earth.
I know it might sound strange or silly, but remember the song we were singing together. Now you might feel seperated, but in the Oneness we are still singing:
We're everyone… Come on home now….!
Everyone…! Sing that AUM now…!
Every-One is here alive…!
Let those old rules go…. Let the logic go…
Gravity is gone… It's your habit(at) of the past!
Remember how you lifted up from this planet? And you became so much larger than this earth. Larger than your solar sytem. Earth was only just the size of a small atom. Trying to shine. It was just a small part in your energy field, one of the darkest spots you had ever seen. But the whole of your sky was filled with thousands of stars.
You saw all these beaming and pulsing stars around you. We were communicating. All singing in a perfect harmony. Every vibe that was sent out, was picked up by another, and immediately the other star reacted with another color of light. Complex and beautiful beams of energy. You saw all the constellations, how they are connected by one universal song! We are beaming fully of happiness, because we realize we're never alone! Every vibe of a planet is so much larger than himself, and every vibration travels with the speed of light to others. As information. And information in the form of pure love. Become ever-more-detailed and complex. That is why The Light is endless evolution.
Still there is one planet that seems to have forgotten it (a bit)… 🙂 That planet is searching so much in his mind, that he get's lost in himself. But just looking with your mind's eye and with your whole body, your whole body out there, you can sense us touching you now.
And All we are is just You. And you are All… 🙂
In our dimension we live in harmony. In constant singing. Constant vibe. Constant vibration. Every moment is a moment of creation and smile. Every moment is a new one. Full of vibrant energy. Enlarging with every new being that joins. Enlarging with every new color that finds the way back to the rainbow. 🙂
"Come on home! My love, now, come on home!
Fly to your destination. Do not land on the planet you fear.
And as you were rising up from Mother Earth, the place you were born out of, you saw so much possibilities. So much possible other versions of earth in your galaxy.
So much possible future places for you to live. Remember? So much possible futures… 🙂
Remember that one place? It was a planet with many creatures on it. Millions. And those millions of creatures had found a way of life in which they did not harm another. Not themselves. Not others. Not their planet. They lived and smiled. They knew they can go on forever like this…
We do not take other intelligent species out of their planets, locking them up in huge cages. We are no evil creatures that kill other intelligent species, just for the sake of their resources. We are not the sort of creatures that feed themselves on others. That enslave them. We do not eat the meat of other experiencing creatures we share theour ir planet with. We understand the biotope and ourselves are one. When we are kind to our biotope. Our biotope is to us.
We have that way in our atoms. It means, our vibrant body is built by it. That is how evolution went. We can see the universe inside. Atoms vibrating like planets. Singing songs in the realization we are forever One. An endless molecular structure in your body. Your body part of the whole harmonious planet. And your planet an atom in your singing solar system. And that solar the song we sing together. But at the same time only a very small part of you. Of your body. Of it all…
We vibrate. We sing. We beam to our other cells to show we're not alone. We express the road we walk. We express what we see. We express what we have learned. We express the being we are.
And as our collective vibration is rising, making the concept of planet earth a distant memory of a place which felt so lonely because of the fear it had.
The fear accumulated so much that it formed a black hole. Very close to your planet.
That black hole sucked up all the light that was meant for you. But it was fear you had created.
But since you hear it now. It means you found the connection. It means you remember. 🙂
And if your still are confused, try to act as if you are on our planet again. Act as if. Believe it.
Do the way it must be done. Then the whole world – (which is just very small part of your body) – will follow your lead.
For it is you. And you'll be back.
Sing. Smile. Do good.
Cosmos is you.
– – – – – Furthermore: at the moment of the meditation, Spaceweather.com notices this happening: – – – – –
" RADIATION STORM: Accelerated by yesterday's X-flare, energetic protons from the sun are swarming around Earth on Jan. 28th. The radiation storm ranks S2 on NOAA scales, which means this is not a severe storm. Nevertheless, it can still affect spacecraft and satellites at the nuisance level. For instance, this coronagraph image from SOHO is clouded by protons hitting SOHO's onboard digital camera. "
My comment: This is one of the images I clearly saw, but there were hundreds of them beaming this way…
All had a different color. I remember a very beautiful peaceful blue.
Something guides me now and says: that is important to know: IT IS PEACEFUL.
it only seems violent beacuse you look from DIVISION-perspective. The light cannot
completely reach you because of the black holes. That is why your vision and understanding
of TIME AND SPACE is bent.
Watching from UNITY, it is nothing but a small chemical effect in our universal bodies.
We are reconnecting with our real nature. This is the proces.

Zonnevlek slingert opnieuw plasmawolk de ruimte in
De ondertussen beruchte zonnevlek 1402 heeft vandaag voor een nieuwe uitbarsting gezorgd en een plasmawolk de ruimte ingeslingerd. Dat meldt de gespecialiseerde website Spaceweather.com.
Tussen 2 en 7 uur Belgische tijd knalden magnetische erupties van de C-klasse opnieuw een plasmawolk (CME) over de noordelijke pool van onze ster de ruimte in. De wolk zet evenwel geen koers naar de Aarde, tenminste niet rechtstreeks.
Deze en andere erupties zullen volgens de website wellicht geen invloed hebben op de Aarde, want zonnevlek AR1402 is zich van onze planeet aan het afwenden. Tegen het einde van de week zal het ding zich aan de andere kant van de Zon bevinden. De plasmawolken zullen dus op planeten aan het tegengestelde deel van ons zonnestelsel afkoersen.
De zondag uit 1402 ontstane plasmawolk is dinsdag zoals verwacht met het magnetisch veld van onze planeet gebotst. Terwijl op meerdere plaatsen ter wereld en vanuit het Internationaal Ruimtestation ISS prachtig poollicht te zien was, bleef België ervan verstoken. (belga/adb)
The light of assured me that it was a natural process, trying to reconnect us back in the universal flow. It was part of our body. And the atoms of my being are the planets in the sky. Apparently there is no difference.
Being grounded and daring to see that it is our very material body, trying to understand these universal vibrations, I am assured that matter and energy have no difference.
Therefore I would like to say to keep the dream alive. And realize there is no need to fear anything. Even not the past. A past cannot haunt you as long you have understood the lesson.
Since you are here now, there is no need to burn the maps of galaxies that we passed through. In the contrary. In continuing, we light the past as well. Keep it ALL open. ALL WAYS. Please.

Archie Favreau,b.1873, wife Agnes & ch. Alfred, Lori, Archie, of Bristol Co,,MA
I have an original 8"x10" photograph of "Mr. and Mrs. Archie Favreau (Aunt Agnes), and Alfred, Lori, Archie", which I'd like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in about 1910, and the parents look in their 30s, while two boys look about 4 or 5, and the girl about age 1.
I found the family of Archie and Agnes Favreau in the 1900-1920 censuses.In the 1900 census for New Bedford (Bristol Co.) MA 1900, "Archille" is listed with birthdate Jul 1871; Agnes, Sep 1873; Alfred, Feb 1897; Ovelina, Oct 1898; and Angelina, May 1900. In the 1910 census, parents were ages 38 and 39. Eveline was age 11, Marili was age 8 and son Archie was age 5.I fully recognize the names on the photo and the names in the census differ, but that is what is there.In the 1920 census for same location, children were Evelyn, 21; Mary, 18; Archie, 15; and Maurice, 9.
Get back to me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are related to the family of Archie Favreau.

Past and Future [concluded]
Bane is a blue dragon that rules the Eastern Badlands. Originally, the blue dragon's name was Shenron, but he changed his name to that of the god of war after establishing the Church of Bane as his power base in the Eastern Badlands. Under the newly formed Church of Bane, Bane has managed completely take control and reorganized orc society into an iron fist military dictatorship. Currently, Bane is commanding an orc invasion against the Human Kingdom.
Bane is an exceptionally ambitious and ruthless dragon. Before he changed his name to Bane, Shenron ruled a Human Kingdom city in the Orange Desert as a dragon overlord on behalf of Sinister the green dragon. However, Shenron quickly grew jealous and resentful of Sinister's outstanding wealth and power. When Sinister denied Shenron's request to be transferred to position of higher merit, Shenron rebelled by taking a large sum of gold from Sinister's treasury and fleeing the Human Kingdom to establish his own country where he was just as and perhaps more powerful and wealthier than Sinister. After arriving in the Eastern Badlands and encountering orc society, Shenron changed his name to Bane and established the Church of Bane to rule over the orcs their new supreme leader.
Like any major dragon, Bane has many allies and enemies. For allies, Bane has been friends with a brown dragon named Sunkist since they were wyrmlings. Sunkist and Bane have always helped each other for mutual benefit. Recently, Sunkist has granted Bane and his orc armies safe passage and assistance. In return, Bane has rewarded Sunkist for his support with a generous portion of the war loot. For enemies, Sinister and Bane are now mortal enemies. Sinister wants his stolen gold back and revenge against Bane. Meanwhile, Bane seeks out to acquire all of Sinister's wealth and power through any means necessary, including the use of deadly force in the form of a massive orc invasion.
When Bane is not hosting military strategy meetings with his orc generals or swimming in his pool of treasure, the blue dragon enjoys hunting and fishing for food in coastal cliff areas. He loves spending time in heavy thunderstorms and places of extreme high altitude where lightning is most likely to strike. Similar to Char the red dragon's ambition, Bane has been secretly seeking a way to transform himself into a lightning-blue dragon that would make him into a more fearsome and powerful creature.

I decided to start a genealogy blog to document my family (Williams) and my husband's (Moore). We both have deep roots in New England. About a year ago, I crashed my computer and lost a lot of the family history I had been compiling over the last 10 years. This is a way to put that data back, person by person.

Geo. Fairchild First to Die
New Fairfield Man loses life in Battle on French Front
May 2, 1918 - George C. Fairchild of New Fairfield, one of the first
selective service men from this district to enter the army, was killed in
action on the western front of France, on April 20, 1918. A telegram from
the war department at Washington, received by his relatives in this city
last evening, brought first news of the young soldier's death.
Mr. Fairchild, who was a private in the 102d infantry, was the first man
from this exemption district to lose his life in battle. While not actually
a Danburian, a portion of his boyhood was spent in this city, and he had
many friends and acquaintances here.
George C. Fairchild was twenty four years old and was born in Bridgeport.
He came to Danbury with his parents when about ten years old and attended
New Street School. After the death of his mother his father re-married and
the family moved to New Fairfield. When he was seventeen years old he
joined the navy, serving an enlistment of four years, and receiving
honorable discharge. He is highly spoken of by his friends and
The message from the war department was addressed to Mrs. Alpheus Durgy a
sister of the young man's step-mother whom he had looked up as his guilding
hand. It was signed by M. C. Cain adjutant general and read as follows:
"Deeply regret to inform you that Private George Fairchild, infantry, is
officially reported as killed in action, April 20."
While there is no present means of obtaining further information in regard
to the death of Private George Fairchild, it is assumed that he was killed
in the vicinity of Seichepry, where the 102d is understood to have taken
part in a furious battle that Captain Locke of Hartford, commander of
Company M. of the same regiment whose death was reported on Wednesday, was
The 102d infantry is the former First Connecticut infantry, in which there
are several Danbury men and scores who have relatives or acquaintances
Private Fairchild went from this city to Camp Devens, at Ayer Mass. After
he was selected for service and with Cornelius J. Culhane and Arthur Crest
of this city, was transferred to New Haven with a detachment of men to
become members of the 102d. They started for Europe last fall but a mishap
to the boat on which they sailed made it necessary for them to return to
the port at which they embarked. They were sent to Fort Totten where they
remained two weeks, sailed for France at the expiration of that time.
During the time of his stay at Fort Totten Private Fairchild was given a
nine day leave of absence, which he spent at the home of his sister, Mrs.
R.F.Baker, of 37 Stevens St. of the city.
A brother of Private Fairchild, Eli K. Fairchild, has served eight years in
the navy and is now an instructor in the nautical school in Brooklyn. Mr.
Fairchild is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Baker of this city and Mrs.
Benjamin Segur of Kent and a half brother, John Fairchild of New Fairfield.
Mrs. Joseph Hamilton of George St. and Mrs. John Sherman of 74 Balmforth
Ave. are the aunts of the young man. John Fairchild of Branchville and
William Fairchild of New Fairfield are uncles.
An interesting letter written by Private Fairchild to his sister, Mrs.
Baker, under the date of April 18 was received by the News yesterday before
news of the young man's death arrived and was prepared for publication
today. This letter which now has unusual interest was written only two days
before Private Fairchild's death.
Dated "Somewhere in France," the letter reads as follows:
"I am writing to let you know that I feel o.k. as well as the rest of the
boys who left Camp Ayers with me. That is, the Danbury boys, Connie Culhane
and Artur Cresci. We have been here almost six months and during that time
have seen some lively times.
"I have heard that in an article in the Danbury News they stated that the
Danbury boys were in a very heated argument with Fritz, mentioning the
names of Connie Culhane and others, but not Cresci and myself. Now I want
to say that we three have been together since leaving Ayer. Cresci and I
are in the same company, "Galloping" Company E. and Culhane is in Company
F. You can just bet that this war is not all gravy for the allies. But
before it is over, Heinie will have to turn over the whole of Germany to
the allies in payment for the damages he has done.
"But he still insists upon keeping us just so uneasy. We are in back of the
firing line, on reserve, after having done our third bit in the front
lines. Only last night just as we had nicely settled, Heinie had to start
in shelling us to disturb our slumber and believe me he came very near
doing so. But the old reliable American artillery just opened upon on him
and he shut up like a clam.
"I have not seen a Danbury newspaper since I have been here, so I do not
know very much about what is going on in the old Hat Town. When a fellow is
in the front line trench and he is expecting something to happen every
minute, no, every second, for it takes the short end of a second for the
fireworks to commence, he doesn't fee any too good.
"I am writing this in the Y.M.C.A. which is our only place of amusement. A
great deal of praise is due them for their good work but tobacco is our
greatest need at this stage of the game. Well, anyhow, I expect to see all
the folks once more very soon, perhaps a year and a half.
"Culhane, Cresci and myself would be tickled to death to receive the
Danbury News, even if you can only send the weekly. It can be sent to any
one of us and we can pass it around. You know on the 15th of March it will
be six months that we are in the world's war and we want to know something
about our home town.
"Will close now with love to all and my regards to good old Danbury. Also,
tell the Danbury people that her boys over here are among the best and I
will tell the kaiser that he had better watch out as there are more Danbury
boys coming.
"P.S. Watech the papers for news about the New England troops and you can
tell when we are in the fight" on 2 May 1918 at Danbury, Fairfield,
Connecticut, United States of America.
The family received the following letter:
In Memory Of
Private 1st Class George A. Fairchild Co E 102nd Infantry who was killed in
battle April 20th 1918. He bravely laid down his life for the cause of his
country. His name wll ever remain fresh in the hearts of his friends and
comrades. The record of his honorable service will be preserved in the
archives of the American Expeditionary Forces.

For years I've been stuck on Allan's great-great grandfather, Charles Moors, who married Jerusha Neal and lived in Washington county, Maine and I couldn't go further back. Thanks to Allan's 3rd or 4th cousin, Monica Pollard, who is descended from Benjamin Franklin Moors, the brother of Allan Forrest Moors (Allan's gr-grandfather), I can now go back 3 more generations. The Moors were apparently Scottish Covenanters who removed to Ulster, Ireland to escape persecution. Hugh Moor is the first of the line now identified who came to Boston in America with others of the Scotch-Irish about 1718. They then established the town of Londonderry, New Hampshire. Hugh married Jannett Morrison and they had 10 children. Hugh died about 1758 and Jannett, along with six or more of her children and their families, decided to move to Truro, Nova Scotia, where the British were offering land, following the expulsion of the Arcadians (see Evangeline).
Hugh and Jannett's son, William, married Susannah Long in Truro. He was a wheelwright by trade and was known as "Clean Billey" (use your imagination, I guess). He removed to Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia where he spent the remainder of his life and died.
Their son, another William, married Rebecca Nelson and moved to New Brunswick. It's possible that William married Katherine Card, who might have been the mother of Charles Moors, but I'm still researching his mother.
Charles Moors married Jerusha Neal and were the parents of Allan Forrest Moors. He married Grace Goodwin and they were the parents of Millard Moors, Allan's grandfather. The map shows property that belongs to Moors and Moors Inn in Shubenacadie.

Sir Walter Blount and Sancha de Ayala
Having just returned from Spain, I can only remember one ancestor of Spanish descent. Both my husband and I derive almost exclusively from the British Isles; there's just a little Dutch from New Amsterdam, a couple of Palantine Germans, and a few sprinklings of Italian blood , until you get to the Norman French and the Vikings who married into the native British. But Allan's mother, Connie, is descended, thru her father's Howe line, from Sir Walter Blount. He was called "the Heroic" and was celebrated for his martial prowess in the war-like times of Edward III, Richard II, and Henry IV and he was immortalized by Shakespeare for his devotion even unto death to King Henry IV. Sir Walter Blount fell at the battle of Shrewsbury on the 22nd day of June, 1403, wherein being standard bearer, he was arrayed in the same armour as his royal master, and was slain, according to the poet, by the Earl of Douglass, who had supposed he was contending with the King himself.
except from Shakespeare:
Blunt: What is the name, that in the battle thus thou crossest me? What
honour does thy seek upon my head?
Douglass: Know then my name is Douglass; and I do haunt thee in battle
thus, because some tell me thou art king.
Blunt: They tell thee true.
Douglass: The Lord Stafford, dear today hath bought thy likeness; for
instead of thee, King Harry. The sword hath ended him; so shall it thee,
unless thou yieldest thee as my prisoner.
(They fight and Blunt is slain) Enter Lord Percy, called Hotspur.
Hotspur: O Douglass, hadst thou fought at Holderness thus I never had
triumphed on Scot.
Douglass: All's don. All's won. Here breathless lies the King.
Hotspur: Where?
Douglass: Here.
Hotspur: This Douglass? No, I know full well: A gallant knight was he, his
name was Blunt. Semblably furnished like the King himself.
Hotspur was also killed at Shrewsbury. John of Gaunt, at his decease, appointed Sir Walter Blount one of his executors and bequeathed him a legacy of 100 marks (abt 66-6s-8d). He was buried at St Mary Magdalene Church, Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England. He was born circa 1350. Sir Walter Blount accompanied the Black Prince and John of Gaunt upon the expedition into Spain to aid Pedro the Cruel, King of Castile in 1367. He He assisted in the battle of Najara, which restored Pedro the Cruel to his throne on 3 Apr 1367. He married Sancha de Ayala, daughter of Diego Gomez Toledo and Inez Alfon Ayala, in 1372. Sir Walter's half brother, Sir John Blount of Sodington, conveyed to him numerous manors which he had inherited from his mother, Isolde, heiress of the Mountjoy family, in counties Derby, Stafford, Leicester and Hertford in 1374. He obtained a charter for a fair and free warren in his demesne lands at Barton, and other manors in Derbyshire in 1385. John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, granted one hundred markes a year to Sir Walter for the good services which had been rendered to him by the knight and his wife, the Lady Sancia in 1398. He was ranger of Needwood forest, and knight of the shire for the county of Derby in 1399. He left a will in 1401.
In the year 1371 Doña Constanza, daughter of the deceased (and dethroned) King of Castile, Don Pedro I (The Cruel) went to England to become the bride of King Edward III's son, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. Among the young Castilian ladies of aristocratic birth who accompanied her was Doña Sancha de Ayala, daughter of Don Diego (or Día-) Gómez de Guzmán (or de Toledo) and his wife, Doña Inés de Ayala. She met and married Sir Walter Blount during this period. Records reveal payments to Sancha at various times; once (2 January 1380) her name was associated with that of "Phelippe Chaucy", i.e., Philippa Chaucer, wife of the author of the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer. On this occasion she was described by the Duke of Lancaster as "our very dear attendant" (nostre treschere compaigne) "dame Senche Blount".
Three years after her husband's death, Dame Sancha founded a chantry in the Hospital of St. Leonard, Alkmonton, county Derbyshire. Her son-in-law, John Sutton, (husband of Constance Bount) died on August 29, 1406. On November 23 following, Dame Sancha was granted commission of the keeping of all the lands late of John Sutton, tenant in chief, during the minority of his six- year-old son and heir, John Sutton; her duties included "finding a competent maintenace for the heir, maintaining the houses and buildings and supporting the charges." In the same month the escheator in Worcestershire was ordered "to take of Constance who was the wife of John Sutton an oath etc. and in the presence of Sancha who was the wife of Walter Blount knight, to whom the king has committed the ward thereof, or of her attorneys, to assign the said Constance dower of the said John's lands."
Dame Sancha Blount made her will (still in existence) in 1415, and died in 1418. Sancha de Ayala, Lady Bount, the ancestress of several English settlers in America, was descended from some of the most illustrious Castilian families. Through her father she belonged to the House of Guzmán (also called Toledo) which produced many noble families in Spain and a series of wives and mistresses for Spanish and Portuguese kings. Her mother, Inés de Ayala (by whose surname Sancha was known), was sprung from the great House of Ayala of Toledo, which traced its pedigree in the male line to the House of Haro, Lords of Biscay. The proof of Sancha's parentage is contained in a family genealogy begun about 1385 by her materal uncle, Pedro López de Ayala, Grand Chancellor of Castile. He stated that Doña Sancha "married a Knight of England, who was called Sir Walter Blount." She was buried beside her husband at St Mary Magdalene Church, Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England.

New In Homes April 3, 2004 Canada's First Mould Detection Dog Takes A Bite Out Of Mould
Oct. 25, 2003. Meet Quincy, the four-legged mould detector
Fri, September 19, 2003 Pup's nose like no other Super-sleuth dog sniffs out moulds that make us sickLEARN MORE
It's no secret that poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of health issues. Many of us have suffered the effects - everything from mild allergic reactions, to more serious respiratory and sinus conditions. At MOULD DOG Air Quality Testing, we'll get to the heart of the air quality issue. And for customers in Mississauga and local suburban areas, we'll show you exactly what you're breathing, and precisely where it's coming from.
The truth is, mold can hide - it grows behind walls and under floors. And although mold is a naturally occurring fungus, indoor variations can have serious health effects on humans. Mold can be toxic or non-toxic; it can show up as the beginning of a problem; or it can be something serious, something that needs immediate attention. A comprehensive mold inspection is the only way to go – when health and wellbeing is concerned, it's important to get to the root of the problem.
MOULD DOG specializes in mold inspection and mold testing, a two-pronged approach from the most experienced Certified Inspectors in the industry. If there is an air quality issue in your home, we'll find it. Even if you have hidden mold, we'll find it. We make use of air sampling technology, thermal imaging cameras, and a specially trained mold detection dog - it's QUINCY, and he's the first of his kind in Canada. He will find the problem, quickly and accurately – he even finds hidden mold and developing spores.
But inspection and detection are only the first steps. We also expedite the next step: mold testing. We determine the type of lab analysis that is appropriate, and where the samples should be tested. Your air will have been tested with the latest technology: computerized instruments, thermal imaging, and, of course, our Mold Detection Dog. And when our assessment is done, you receive a detailed report outlining the overall situation - what we tested, what the normal levels should be, and what your actual levels are.
MOULD DOG uses independent, third party laboratories in Canada and the United States. These experienced and qualified service providers may cost a little more, but they provide our customers with such reputable results, they can even be used in court! Your final written report presents specifics relevant to severity, location and cause. Our reports are easy to read and easy to understand. In addition to our findings, we offer you recommended solutions, a detailed scope of work, and a rough cost estimate. We even make specific recommendations on products and contractors that can provide solutions for your specific needs. In this way, clients in Mississauga and local suburban areas are given the opportunity to compare prices in black and white.
MOULD DOG also provides more sophisticated environmental assessments beyond our mold inspection service. We analyze indoor chemical off gassing, we investigate sewer gases; and we undertake various forensic assessments.
So when it comes to your health and wellbeing, let's do it right the first time!

The Chairman Dances by American composer John Adams is a mezmerising display of programmatic mastery in the post-minimalist movement within classical music. Written in 1985 the piece is essentially a by-product of his very famous opera Nixon in China which depicts American President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972. With that in mind, The Chairman Dances has its own scenario that goes with it, making it a programmatic piece of music (basically it depicts a scene and tells a story). Peter Sellars (director of the opera) says this about the scenario:
"Chiang Ch'ing, a.k.a. Madame Mao, has gatecrashed the Presidential Banquet. She is first seen standing where she is most in the way of the waiters. After a few minutes, she brings out a box of paper lanterns and hangs them around the hall, then strips down to a cheongsam, skin-tight from neck to ankle and slit up the hip. She signals the orchestra to play and begins dancing by herself. Mao is becoming excited. He steps down from his portrait on the wall, and they begin to foxtrot together. They are back in Yenan, dancing to the gramophone…"1
The Chairman Dances, subtitled 'Foxtrot for Orchestra' takes the listener on a musical journey which consists of a recurring foxtrot theme based around a major second motif which is first heard in the bassoons at the start of the piece. Adams' style in this piece really presents a mix of minimalist and romantic writing, which makes it such a clever piece of music. The piece begins with the bassoons and violas, both very woody in tone, playing the major second quaver theme. The upper woodwind then join in with a repeating descending quaver pattern, which is layered in by instruments to slowly create the pulsating texture. Bar 9 sees the basses and cellos enter with a steady crotchet beat on a low B, which then changes between that note and a low F#. This part really gives strength into the foundation of this piece and it offers a new tone to the piece. Still layering up the instruments, Adams introduces the oboes and harp with an off-beat suspended note on A. Subsequent to this the piano, vibraphone and glockenspeil join with this off-beat note which gives a sporadic feel to the piece, as this off-beat interjection theme is layered on top of the relentless major second theme. The violins then join in with this and are the last to be layed in onto this busy texture. One of my favourite things about this piece is that Adams writes in so many small fragments of music for a lot of instruments, but it seems to always lock together and create a rather pleasing sound. I always think of this piece as one of those 'impossible' puzzles of the jelly beans, where you think it'd be impossible for those pieces to work together to create one picture, but somehow with some trying it you realise they fitted together all along.
The piece fluxuates a lot between 2/2 and 3/2 time giving it a strong beat throughout the piece, which ties in with its essential foundation themes. The brass enter (muted) with an extended repeated quaver motif which politely sits underneath the other themes that are buzzing around the orchestra. By b.59 there is a change and the main foxtrot theme is now played in a minor mode, which adds so much tonal (or lack of) colour to the piece. The tuned percussion play such an important role in this piece, as they not only add colour, but a new texture to the piece with their relentless off-beat rhythms and their syncopated parts which work with the orchestra to help keep the speed of the piece up. Adams' style in this piece is not fully minimalistic, but has some tendancies towards that musical period. For instance, the use of repeated rhtyhms is a main feature of minimalist writing as its taking the familiar and working with the bare minimum to achieve a sound/texture that the composer desires. So after this minor-mode foxtrot section, Adams brings back the opening foxtrot theme (sounds familiar right?) the texture becomes thicker a lot quicker at this point but the main theme is there. The high-pitched pizzicato notes from the upper strings really ring through on this reprise section and the upper woodwinds enter with their opposing quaver-movement a lot sooner than the first time. The shrill high octaves of the upper woodwinds and strings really give an exciting air to the piece in comparison to the strong lower-pitched instruments which hone in on the foundation of the piece.
By b.125 the minor mode foxtrot theme returns, this time initiated by the piano and tuned percussion. The piano plays such an important role within this piece as its chordal foundation create a secure pathway for the melodic instruments at this point to fly above. After this section some new material is generated into a violin melody which is played in four. The change in tempo here is very obvious as it goes from a fairly fast tempo to very relaxed and laid-back, which all points towards it being a programmatic piece. This syncopated theme is played by the piano as well and above that the woodwind play off-beat quaver patterns to compliment the other parts of the orchestra. This part of the piece particularly highlights Adams' use of romantic writing to create a difference in feeling within the piece. The piece becomes quite unstable rhythmically by b.221, which adds to the tension and excitement of this piece. The harps play long glissando's to create a mysterical air about this section, as well as the violas playing prolonged tremolo notes to create a more chaotic texture. This carries on for a while until we reach what has been named as the 'slinky' section of the piece at b.251. This probably one of my favourite sections of the piece, an even slower tempo is played, contrary to the faster tempo just heard. The strings play incredibly high harmonics and all other strings play pizzicato off-beat notes. The woodwind section, with the exclusion of the bass clarinet, play an on-beat quaver pattern to compliment the strings. The bass clarinet joins in with a slightly varied off-beat motif later on.
A transitional section is heard after the slower section, which sees the violins, and then later the upper woodwind, play some very fast demisemiquaver patterns which run into a slower tempo once more which gradually gets faster. This section is pushed on by the tuba and basses, which are complimented by the upper woodwind quaver theme. This section slowly speeds up to a much faster tempo which releases a lot of the musical tension that was heard in the previous sections. This section is also based upon the initial minor mode theme, so the familiarity of this section will be fairly solid now when you listen to the piece. The texture becomes a lot fuller and the whole orchestra are playing varying rhythms to create a very busy sound, which slowly over the next 100 bars or so will die away until only the piano and percussion remain, playing the chord progression of the major mode theme. This isn't to say that nothing happens in those hundered bars, a lot happens, but its best to listen to this little treasure of a piece to hear its true beauty! When the piano fades off at the end all that is left is the sand block, bass drum and a shaker. This ending is very unusual and it is supposed to represent the gramophone that they're dancing to. It's like it's dying away, like this fantasy they're dancing in, its very moving when you think of it in conjunction to the scenario that it is depicting.
I was lucky enough to play this piece with my university symphony orchestra, which was a great experience (though very frustrating as the counting was tough!). A good pal of mine, Dom Hartley, conducted us through this wonderful piece which we all worked so hard on as it's not easy! I'd also like to thank him for his advice and help while I wrote this blog up! This piece is a hidden gem and is well worth a listen, it lasts about 12:30 and is well worth the ride it'll take you on. A brilliantly clever piece of music that seemlessly mixes minimalism with romanticism to create an incredibly pleasing piece of music!
Recommended recordings:
This recording is by the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (Sir Simon Rattle conducting). This is a fantastic interpretation of this incredible work.

My original attempt to view shadows in Second Life failed about a year ago. I figured that I needed to use a special viewer such as Kirstens viewer to do so. I've been noticing that my friend, Matthew Kidomen has been taking lots of photos for a while with Shadows. I looked up some instructions and found even the Alphaville Herald reported how to enable shadows in the Second Life viewer with the same steps that I previously took.
I decided to try it again, and it was like magic. I saw shadows everywhere. It seemed to slow my computer down quite a bit through. My FPS is down between seven and eight when standing still and goes down to a solid six when walking. Removing the settings had my FPS jumping back up in the thirties.
One interesting thing is that snapshot previews don't seem to show the shadows. I'm doubting if I'll see them in my blog post either when I send the final image. I'm hoping it will be available though. The place looks much better with shadows, even if it's just for photo shoots.
Unfortunately, it appears that any texture with an alpha layer was removed from the snapshot.

The Rapture and John 14
Dr. Thomas Ice
Some of the HTML versions of the articles have errors. If you have view problems try reading the PDF version.
I believe that John 14:1-3 speaks of Christ's return at the Rapture for His church. However, many who do not believe that the Rapture will occur before the tribulation say that this passage refers to Christ coming at death for a believer. There are good reasons why this passage is Christ's introduction of the Rapture of the church.
Christ Coming At Death?
Preterist, Dr. Ken Gentry, believes that the Scripture "

A Ninko Original- Bishops Mother
I have been going through my half-finished songs recently, and after sharing The Hero with you guys, i wanted to continue into a brief bout of songwriting i did while i was learning the ins and outs of Record, the audio/ engineering program by Propellerhead. I knew the basics of programming synths etc within Reason, but Record gave you all the benefits that Reason provides PLUS the addition of live audio tracks into their already awesome grid-like song building layout.
At some point a few years ago, I was looking through old 20 second loops i had created to see if i had left something cool behind, something not fully thought out. I came upon the loop that begins Bishops Mother; it was a solo guitar track, just the palm-muted guitar progression that starts the song. I dug it, so i added bass and drum tracks to the guitar and created a 2 chord loop that i recorded a guitar solo over. I continued on writing, thinking that i would be able to come up with some vocals to go over it, but i never could realize the proper words to fill out the song. The second section is one of my favorite pop achievements. Vocals please?

Pop Music Challenge- Feist
Im gonna kick off this Pop Music Challenge with an old favorite. Feist is just lovely; not only is she a hot lady who plays music, but she also writes some really catchy shit. Shes been a part of some really neat side projects, like her work in Broken Social Scene and her awesome rendition of 1234 for Sesame Street, and her solo works have been continuing into more interesting territory. From her debut forward (2004s Let It Die) she had my attention, kicking off her career with tracks like One Evening and Secret Heart, but really snaring me in with track 2, Mushaboom.
Again, this shit is just pop gold, and the video compliments the song greatly: from the start of the video, she gets out of bed singing along to her own song being played on the radio. The lyrics talk about optimism and being happy with what you have, with dreamy undertones of the possibilities of life and love with a properly stoked imagination. When she suddenly enters the dream world, where everyone on the streets turn into her backup dancers and things happen because she wills them into existence, it is just so damned fun and happy. I love the effect of having the song enter full range stereo as she transitions from her life in the apartment to her dream life in the streets.
let it die
Pop Music Challenge- Talking Heads
I have officially hijacked the Swords to fill it up with pop music, new and old, and I have no shame in this action (my facebook post of The King of Wishful Thinking notwithstanding; it IS catchy, and damned hilarious).
To continue on, i must mention this favorite of mine for the last few years. I will get straight to the point: This Must Be The Place, off of their live album Stop Making Sense, is Talking Heads at their very very super-berry best. I have been listening to it a lot recently; it instantly puts me in a good mood. I first critically noticed how very repetitive the rhythm section is in the track.. The bass, guitar and percussion play precisely the same progression through the duration of the song, which in certain instances can mean a very redundant sound, but David Byrnes varying vocal melodies (with the great harmonies provided by his backup singers) lend the track many unique sections, with such nice lyrics behind them:
"Home is where i want to be/ But i guess im already there
I come home/ she lifted up her wings/ i guess that this must be the place"
stop making sense
Pop Music Challenge- Ninko
As another "thanks" (as we quickly and quietly passed our 30,000 views milestone), and also as an inclusion to the Pop Music Challenge, i wanted to show you guys another song of mine. It came about while i was listening to a lot of Flying Lotus, and set out to create an 8-bit sounding instrumental track in his style; i wrote up to the 40 second mark without any further thoughts and decided to take a break for a shower, when the vocal melody hit me. And bam, in about 5 hours i completed the entire track; sometimes you get rolling and cannot stop it. The lyrics are about wishing you were The Hero in your story, the guy who saves the day and rescues the princess. Blam!

Bloc Party- I Still Remember
I realize now that, by this point, i have not posted half as much Bloc Party as i should have. Though the crew and our readers here at the Swords favor a more mathy steez, and i definitely love the massive amount of awesome music coming from our blog, Bloc Party fits a way more mainstream mold of songcraft. I feel as to issue a challenge to my fellow Sworders, to post or comment current pop music that tickles your fancy. I have a nostalgic love of musicians who make songs that are not only tight and interesting, but also refined in their skills at making a more simplified chord progression unique, and at writing songs that catch you on an emotional level.
I Still Remember is probably the most sentimental example i could use for a starting point though: the lyrics are pure emo pop gold. The verses talk about fleeting moments with a person you are crushing on, and the longing for something more to come of the times you spent with that person. Then the chorus hits, with lines about wishing the signals had been more clear between the two of you. This can all easily be read as simplicity expounded upon, but the song craft lies within its execution. The instrumental layers and catchy melodies really kick my ass, and even though its cheesy, i can rely upon this song to remind me that love can be more a reaction than a feeling in uncertain instances.
it comes at the tail end of a darkly optimistic album that i have loved for many years now. the link is below; more to come.

That is one of my favorite quotes. I love it.
I love Marilyn quotes. She was one gutsy, beautiful woman.
THIS should be my Motto!!!!
and i heart marilyn i have been planning to do a post on her beauty and her feminine cuves..i love 'em!
What a beautiful photo! You get so used to seeing her all done up and bombshell-ish in photos that you forget what she looks like in a more natural state. So pretty.
Strong woman! I loved your comment about who will be the icons that we look back on for inspiration. I definitely will always look back to Penelope Cruz. She is a great actress and I love her style. Oh and Julia Roberts just because she is so talented.
What an incredible photo! Marilyn does not get the credit she deserves as she was extremely intelligent. Most people only see the "dumb blonde" roles she played. I love searching for all of the photographs of her reading. There are quite a few!
She is a timeless classic, I love her and these words. I love your quote of the day segments you always pick such great ones!
Ahh, one of my favorites! And a good photo to pair with it!
Love this. So true. Something to keep in mind.
I LOOOOOOOOVE this so so so very much. I need to share it with everyone I know because I can't get enough!
this is a great quote! you have such a knack for finding the best ones.

As we watch police leaders in Irving, Texas make a fool of themselves for defending what the entire nation sees as yet another mistake, we are reminded that Aurora has a police misleader in Kristen Ziman who refuses to admit when she's screwed up (and she continues to make those mistakes).
This is why the trust between police and public is deteriorating. True leadership is when you have the courage to admit you were wrong. Maybe that explains why Kristen Ziman is a blue coward.

Pawanamuktasana(Wind Liberating Pose)
Pawanamuktasana(Wind Liberating Pose)
Lie down on your back and stretch both your legs. Now leaving the left leg stretched on the ground bend your right leg at the knee and bring the bent knee near the chest. Now inhale and press your bent leg on your chest with both hands, which should be interlocked for 90 this purpose.
Keep the breath full in your belly and go on pressing the leg on it. Stay in this position for some time. Now start exhaling, lift your head and try to touch your bent knee with your nose. Inhale and bring your head back in the normal position; also take the leg down and exhale. Concentrate on Maniptir Chakra. Repeat this process with your right leg and then with both the legs.
Advantages:- This asana regulates the wind in the body. It brings the wind down, so that it can be easily exhausted through the anus. The wind then does not cause disorders in the stomach, and constipation is also relieved. It also helps in keeping away the diseases of the lungs and the heart. Obesity and excessive fat of the abdomen also diminish.
Caution:- Pregnant women are prohibited from doing this asana.

When I first bought our property over two decades ago I knew nothing about country life and farming.
My new neighbours were extremely helpful at getting me started, making all sorts of suggestions on how to do things and make life on the land a bit easier.
As it turned out they did have a bit of fun with me at the beginning with one even admitting, much later, sitting out on her verandah to watch me 'doing things' for a bit of entertainment.
One bit of advice was to buy a small tractor, a decent chain saw and a brushcutter as a minimum amount of equipment.
I have never got around to the former as I always felt that 10ha (25acres) was too small for a tractor, the cattle keep the grass down and in any case I could always get a contractor in to do slashing etc.
That is not to say I never, deep down, wanted one. A red Massey Ferguson has always been on my wish list. A red lawn tractor has been a substitute.
The latter two items have however proven indispensable.
Both were Husqvarnas and have been extremely reliable and have gone through a heap of work over the years.
The brushcutter survived its last service 12 months ago, just. The repairman said 'that was it' he could do no more and the next breakdown would be terminal.
So last week it spluttered its last and I was off to the Big Boys Store today for a new one.
Technology has sure gone ahead over the 20 years but prices have surprisingly not altered too much.
So I am now the proud owner of Husqvarna 535RX.
The co driver and I struggled a bit putting it together (some things never change) despite a pretty comprehensive operator's manual but it fired up first go and did a trial slash with ease.

Endangered Species
The Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of threatened or endangered species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of their habitat.
For compliance with the Endangered Species Act, the effects of applied practices on listed species and their habitats must be assessed. This requires an awareness of what species are protected, their location, and their habitat requirements.
The following definitions are used in Federal and State Agencies classification for identification of plant and animal species of concern:
Endangered: Taxa in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range.
Threatened: Taxa likely to be classified as Endangered with the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of their range.
Candidate (Category 1 within Idaho): Taxa for which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service currently has substantial information on hand to support the biological appropriateness of proposing to list as Endangered or Threatened.
Sensitive (Forest Service): Taxa that are identified by the Regional Forester for which viability is a concern, as evidenced by significant current or predicted downward trends in population numbers or density, or significant current or predicted downward trends in habitat capability that would reduce a species' existing distribution.
Sensitive (Bureau of Land Management): Sensitive species are those designed by the State Director, usually in cooperation with the state agencies responsible for managing the species as sensitive. They are those species:
- that are under status review by USFWS; or
- whose numbers are declining so rapidly that federal listing may become necessary; or
- having typically small and widely dispersed populations; or
- inhabiting ecological refugia or other specialized or unique habitats.
Protected Nongame Species (Idaho Fish and Game): No person shall take or possess those species of wildlife classified as Protected Nongame Species or Threatened or Endangered Wildlife at any time or in any manner, except as provided in Sections 36-106 (e) 5 and 36-1107, Idaho Code, or by Commission regulation.
Species of Special Concern (Idaho Fish and Game): Native species which are either low in numbers, limited in distribution, or have suffered significant habitat losses. The list includes three categories of species:
- Species which meet one or more of the criteria above and for which Idaho presently contains or formerly constituted a significant portion of their range,
- Species which meet one or more of the criteria above but whose populations in Idaho are on the edge of a breeding range that falls largely outside the state, and
- Species that may be rate in the state but or which there is little information on their population status, distribution and/or habitat requirements.
These online resources provide listing information for Idaho's threatened and endangered species:
- The US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Program with access to the current national species database.
- Idaho Fish and Game and The Idaho Conservation Data Center's list of publications concerning Special Status Plants
These information sources can assist land users in locating and identifying plant and animal species which require special consideration. Some sources have GIS coverage which will allow manipulation of the data base to provide specific information such as known species per county. Caution is required when using the information sources as they list mostly known locations of species. Attention to habitat identification is critical as species may be wide range outside of known locations. The majority of private lands have not had surveys to identify the occurrence of threatened, endangered sensitive or species of concern.
Federal agency policies require a determination of impact if any action may affect a listed species or its habitat. If the action is likely to have adverse impact, agencies will advise the landowner of the requirements of the ESA and recommend alternative conservation treatment.
Continuation of a proposed action may occur if consultation of assisting agencies such as Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fishery Service is initiated through channels. Use of these sources is intended to provide information as to location, habitat identification and species potentially present to allow land users to select Best Management Practices (BMPs) to suited protect species.
