Getting it running Part 2: Cooling
After getting most of the wiring laid down, we needed to address an important part of this engine swap. The cooling. The 13B engine requires a good bit more cooling than the 12A required and unfortunately takes up more real estate in the engine bay than the 12A as well. We knew the fit would be tight with how the previous builder mounted the radiator and oil lines in the car so the plan early on was to mount a push fan over the factory clutch fan or even an electric puller type.
For the fan, we turned to eBay and picked up a Godspeed 10″ fan for under $30. Quality? Who knows… but who cares, it needs to survive a few auto-x runs and gridding through the challenge. If it fails, we'll swap in a more powerful unit.
The fan came in and unfortunately, the measurements were right at 10″ for the fan, but the added shrouding, put the fan on a collision course with the under-mounted oil cooler.
We had to drop the oil cooler brackets about 1″ to move the oil cooler out of the way and the radiator slid right in. The next step was to get radiator lines built. The top line wasn't all that hard, just a shorter version of the original 12A line, but the bottom took a few tries. Luckily, it all worked out and several minutes and trimming later, we were all set. Should work well for our purposes.
You can see how tight the clearance is from the photos. The car will benefit from a good deal of duct work later on, but I think for the challenge, it should be fine. We're running slim on funds until some parts sell so we're playing it safe to remain in budget.

The shocks started at 6:50 am.
I wanted to text my husband at his hotel to let him know I had a good night and that I was awake. I sat up in bed and noticed out of the corner of my eye that the red light on the monitor was going off, upon looking closer, my heart rate was over 120 beats, I was surprised but sat on the edge of the bed until it came down to around 60. I needed to get my cell phone out of my bedside closet which required walking around my bed and digging through my bag, I no sooner reached the closet and opened the door and I realized that I was in trouble…I felt my heart jumping like jello in my chest and needed to get myself safe or I would end up on the floor and possibly injured. I jumped over the rail of the bed and just as I hit the mattress, I got the first jolt from my ICD, I was awake and it hurt like hell. I liken it to someone holding a large elastic band, one end on my chest as they pull it out as far as it will go, then they release it, it's like a really hard snapping feeling. This was the first of many.
I had been admitted to the hospital on December 16th and my arrhythmia medication had been stopped. My procedure, a VF (ventricular fibrillation) ablation was to take place on December 18 and the doctor wanted to be sure that the meds were out of my system so that they could have a better chance of seeing the bad pathways in my heart that allowed my heart's rhythm to go out of whack. It's very common for them to do this prior to the procedure and we were all shocked that my heart reacted the way it did so quickly. Within the first hour, I experienced more than 20 shocks and the nursing staff on the cardiac ward quickly realized that I needed to be moved to CCU, I wasn't their typical patient any longer and I could hear many of them talking about how traumatized they were after watching this happen to me. Every time my heart rate went into the danger zone lights would flash and alarms would sound and everyone would come running. I have a device that is meant to deal with my arrhythmia but there was the slightest of chance that they may need to intervene with a crash cart if the device was unable to get me back into sinus rhythm. I heard the nurse call my husband, I could only imagine how worried and panicked he would be, the nurse told him she would escort him to CCU once he arrived.
Once all the arrangements were made, I was transferred to the Cardiac Care Unit, the nurse/patient ratio was smaller there and they are used to dealing with the things that were going on with me. The shocks kept coming in waves, I was no longer awake for any of them as I had been for quite a few from the first hour, each time my heart would beat so fast that there was no longer blood going from one ventricle to another, I would fade into unconsciousness, the device would shock me and I would awaken, this went on for most of the morning. It got so bad at one point that they had to shut off all the lights in my room, close the curtains, there could be no noise and the nurse just stationed herself at my bedside, my heart was so aggravated that the slightest thing would set me off. Prior to leaving the Cardiac ward, I had been catheterized and thankfully they had the foresight to do that, now I was being heavily sedated. I was at the point of exhaustion and apparently both the nurse and my husband were pleading with the doctor to do something to stop the madness but the doctor was hesitant to put me back on my meds because they were trying to clear a spot in the Cath Lab for me that day to do the procedure and he didn't want to stifle the arrhythmia to the point that they were unsuccessful. When it became apparent that they would have to wait until the next day,they put me back on a low dose of my heart medication, at this point things slowed down but I continued to have frequent shocks. My husband said he stopped counting at 70 that day. I was grateful to be so heavily sedated.
I don't remember much from there, I faded in and out, at one point, my husband was by my side holding my hand playing some soft ambient music to sooth me. I am sure it helped him as much as it did me, he has seen me go through this so much over the course of the past 3 years that he suffers from PTSD the same as I do. It's hard for him. I remember at one point, after a shock, I told him I was scared, I have never expressed that to him before despite all I had been through and he was terrified that I was going to give up.
I vaguely remember being moved to the Cath Lab for the procedure the next day and being told that they were going to leave my device on. The last time I had this done, my device was disabled and replaced with external defibrillator pads and then they must have put me out. I woke up crying, my chest was stinging, I had obviously been shocked but not by my device, I quickly realized that they were using external pads at this point and the electricity was connecting with the sweat between the pad and my skin, it was painful. The doctor started talking to me, he was saying that we had been in the lab for 4 hours and he had burned 30 spots inside my heart, he said he was burning one at that moment and asked me if I could feel it, I certainly could. He also said that every time he burned a spot, another would pop up, he was chasing something that couldn't be caught. It was decided that there was no point in keeping this up, I was worn right out, the procedure was deemed unsuccessful and I was moved back to CCU.
I continued to receive shocks the rest of that day, night and into Friday morning. My device battery was dangerously low from administering so many treatments and the decision was made to give me a new device rather than simply change the battery. When implanted, these devices are meant to reside for 10 years or more until they need a battery replacement, mine was dead in just under 3 years. I was scheduled for replacement on Saturday December 20th. I don't remember much during the time between my visit to the Cath Lab on thursday and my trip back on Saturday for my device swap, but there is a picture of me smiling and waving for the camera just before they took me to have this done. I am now the proud owner of a new St Jude Medical device, now with an atrial lead as well as one was put in with the new device. I've been told it's because there may need to be med changes in the future and they may need to pace the top of my heart, they would use the new lead to do that.
I would not be surprised to find that the final tally for shocks was in the 100 range and for something that gave us so much hope, it turned out to be a very horrendous experience, one that has left us both shell shocked and still trying hard to deal with. In fact, it's now 5 weeks today after the procedure and I finally felt I had that strength to sit in it and write about my experience.
Up until this point, I have been quite happy to be a science project and to go through all of this for the greater good of patients like me in the future, but I'm afraid that at this point in time, I don't want to be an experiment. I have participated in every study and have agreed to many experimental treatments in hopes that I pave the way for the next person experiencing this illness. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my Electrophysiologist, the doctor that sent me for this procedure and we hope to get some answers as to how things went so incredibly wrong and what to expect in the future, but I am sure, only time will tell. I really hope there is some stability.
I have a hard time especially at night, I am so afraid that I am going to die so every morning that I open my eyes, I am grateful. They say time heals all wounds but it's going to take both of us a very long time to get over this. It's been a long road and we were so hopeful that this was going to be the answer to getting our lives back in some way. We live one day at a time and I never in a million years expected that I had the strength to deal with something as life changing as this.
Please don't take today or tomorrow for granted.

Bored with the slots? Check out the latest entertainment offering at my local gambling hole, the Foxwoods Resort Casino.
For $20 (or $18 in Foxwoods "Dream Points"), gamblers can enjoy "BODIES REVEALED," a traveling museum exhibit featuring rubberized human cadavers frozen in cutesy sports poses.
I've been a relentless critic of competing corpse shows. Let's just say that I am no fan of playing with dead people like they are action figures. And that the mad scientists who make these creepy corpse action figures are not fans of mine.
Maybe I was brainwashed with all the God talk and respect-for-life babble in Hebrew School. But dipping human flesh in plastic and posing it with soccer balls and tennis racquets is UNETHICAL. And perhaps even a tad bit evil.
Even if they have the permission slips to do it.
Check out the contrite disclaimer on the official BODIES REVEALED site, which no doubt refers to fears that China may have found a new way to make political dissidents disappear:
Premier Exhibitions' suppliers certify that the specimens in the BODIES REVEALED exhibitions have been donated by the deceased or their authorized family member for education and that the specimens died of natural causes. Premier employs a retired anatomy professor and a biological anthropologist to examine the specimens and they have never found any evidence of trauma associated with bodily injury. Premier cannot, however, independently guarantee the origins of the specimens.
But my favorite public relations BS has to be the marketing of this exhibit as the ultimate dieting aid. From the Foxwoods Resort Casino Press Room: "Authentic human specimens illustrate the damage caused to organs by over-eating and lack of exercise. The Exhibition will change the way people see themselves. It is designed to enlighten, empower, fascinate, and inspire."
Any way to buy one of these obese human figurines to stick next to your treadmill?

Better Smoothies
adding a dollop of peanut butter. And from there, I guess we realized how easy it would be to bump it up a few more notches nutritionally while still maintaining the illusion of having a breakfast milkshake. Now we add ground flax seed or ground hemp seeds, spirulina, leafy greens, chia seeds, and peanut butter--by themselves or in combination with each other. On special occasions I'll add a few drops of vanilla which really does make it taste like a milkshake. A little goes a long way though. Too much makes the smoothie sickeningly sweet. Speaking of sweet: I've also added a small dab of honey when I've found my mixture of nuts and greens has diminished the sweetness more than I'd prefer.
My friends, David and Michelle, recently got a Vitamix. I have had a few pangs of want for one, I must say, since I saw it in action. It can turn fruit into a smoothie without added liquid. It can liquefy fruit! I think that is impressive. It can also make dry chickpeas into chickpea flour in a matter of minutes. That was loud, but equally impressive. They're crazy expensive though so maybe someday....

We make our smoothies with a hand held blender, I just fiind it a pain and a mess. Consequently I usually end up having porridge or granola and yoghurt for breakfast. I love juices rather than smoothies (though my daughters are smoothie fans) but cleaning the juicer or the blender is so messy that I don't make them as often as I would like. I need to find a better way.ReplyDelete

I love morning smoothies, but I find the prep work & clean-up to be a pain. What type of blender do you use? Care sharing any recipes? I don't have a go-to recipe, but I know I like greek yogurt, strawberries, banana's, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, milk, & spinach in smoothies. I might try adding almond butter & vanilla.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas. I value the advice and friendship that you share with me!

The Five Stages of Collapse: Survivors' Toolkit
"In the face of political impotence, looming resource depletion, and catastrophic climate change, many of us have become reconciled to an uncertain future. However, popular perception of how this future might actually unfold varies wildly from "a severe and prolonged recession," to James Howard Kunstler's "long emergency," to the complete breakdown of civilization. In The Five Stages of Collapse, Dmitry Orlov posits a taxonomy of collapse, offering a surprisingly optimistic perspective on surviving the sweeping changes of the day with health and sanity intact.

A view of the Atlantic Ocean from the top deck at Wyndham, which has had extensive renovations.
A view of the Atlantic Ocean from the top deck at Wyndham, which
has had extensive renovations.
The Providence Journal / FRIEDA SQUIRES
NEWPORT -- Less than a year after it was sold at foreclosure
auction, the Wyndham estate on Beacon Hill Road is back on the
market, with an asking price of $7.9 million.
According to Paul C. Hollis, who has worked to prepare the
property for resale, the 11.72-acre estate has been subdivided into
three lots.
Two of the lots, totaling 7.72 acres, and the mansion are
included in the $7.9-million price, he said. The 4-acre lot could
be sold separately or with the other parcels.
Hollis, who is working for Bank of New England, which owns
Wyndham, said he has supervised the completion of an addition to
the 1891 stone mansion. The addition was started by the previous
owner, Edward Marandola Jr.
The 4,175-square-foot addition includes a ballroom on the first
floor, a master bedroom wing on the second floor, and a stunning
observatory deck on the third floor that provides views of the
water and the surrounding estate area.
"The house is being delivered in first-class shape and
first-class style," Hollis said.
The Wyndham estate was sold at a foreclosure auction on Sept.
30, 2010, for $2.55 million. But at that price, the winning bidder
also had to assume liability for a $1.17-million first mortgage on
the property, held by Merrill Lynch Credit Corp.
The foreclosure was initiated by TD Bank, the holder of a
$3.5-million second mortgage.
The winning bidder was Paul Finn, chief executive officer of the
Bank of New England, based in Salem, N.H. The bank held a
$2.5-million third mortgage on the estate.
TD Bank lost about $1 million in the deal, but if it had not
foreclosed, it risked losing its entire $3.5-million
Bank of New England, as the third mortgage holder, would have
lost its entire stake in the property if it had failed to buy it at
the foreclosure auction. But the bank now has more than $6 million
invested in the property.
The City of Newport has assessed Wyndham at $5.2 million.
Marandola and his former wife, Carmen Marandola, bought the
property in 1992 for $2.1 million.
The 2�-story stone structure was designed by architect
William Ralph Emerson, a cousin of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was
built for Rose Anne Grosvenor, a philanthropist from
Wyndham house has 12,175 square feet of living space on three
floors, not including the basement area, Hollis said. There are
seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and nine fireplaces.
The house is set near the top of a rocky hill and the estate has
long been noted for its landscaping, according to the American
Institute of Architects Guide to Newport: "By the early twentieth
century, Wyndham was noted for its fine gardens of both indigenous
and imported species that complemented the rocky site. Fortunately,
much of the material that caused a major magazine in the 1920s to
compare its landscaping to the beauty of a Corot painting still
exists today."
For more information on the property, contact Bill DeLuca at the
Bank of New England, (978) 376-3463, or Paul Hollis, (207)

Desperate search for Bali missing
A friend had broken the news to him that a nightclub on the holiday island had been bombed.
"He told me what had happened and I thought, I hadn't heard from Annika," Mark said.
"I knew she would call me straightaway.
She still has not called.
At one hospital, Mark checks her name against a register of all those who are dead or injured. She is not here.
He has printed cards and posters appealing for information. Another friend, Daniel Miller, is also missing.
Harrowing mission
There are more frantic phone calls. The strain is beginning to show.
Mark tries calling hospitals in Australia, hoping his missing fiancée and friend have been air-lifted out.
"There is no chance she is in Perth or Darwin," Mark said.
There, bodies recovered from the wreckage are kept cool in the blazing heat.
But there are too many bodies and too few blocks of ice. The stench of death hangs everywhere.
There may be dozens of bodies lying on the floor inside but few will be laid to rest any time soon. There are coffins on standby, but identifying so many of those who died is proving difficult.
At another hospital, Mark Weingard checks more lists of names of those injured.
There is still no sign of Annika.
He later tells me he is running out of hope, that he now believes she is dead. But he will go on looking for a little while longer.
Others are flying into Bali hoping to get information on missing friends and relatives but for most it will be a fruitless journey. It is thought there are still many buried within the wreckage, perhaps forever.

(CNSNews.com) – Congressional Black Caucus Chair Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) said on Tuesday that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is "the leader of this Congress."
"I, too, would like to thank our leader," said Fudge, when commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on Capitol Hill.
"And I say she is our leader—not just the leader of the Democratic caucus—but she is the leader of this Congress," she said.
The new 113th Congress was sworn in on Jan. 3. The House of Representatives is comprised of 232 Republicans and 200 Democrats, and three vacancies. The Speaker of the House is Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio), who is now in his second congressional terms as Speaker. (The Senate is comprised of 53 Democrats and 2 Independents that caucus with them and 45 Republicans.)
In the House, the Democrats are in the minority (200 seats) and Rep. Pelosi is the Minority Leader in the House.
Rep. Fudge joined Pelosi and other Democrats to celebrate the FMLA, which was enacted on Feb. 5, 1993. The law, signed by President Bill Clinton, allows certain employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for family or medical reasons.
Pelosi and the Democrats said more work must be done to expand the law, calling paid leave a "right."
"We also must understand that we've got to find a way to extend paid family leave to all workers so they can have the ability to exercise this right that changes the outcomes for these children, changes the outcome for families, and changes the outcome for the workplace," Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) said.

Apple iPad buyers will have to download Apple's "iBooks" e-reader app and bookstore separately when Apple's tablet begins shipping next month. It won't be installed by default, as we pointed out last week.
Why not?
One theory is that this will make it easier and faster for Apple to offer updates to the app to make quick improvements. On the iPhone, at least, built-in apps are only updated when Apple issues an entirely new version of its system software, whereas apps downloaded by the user can be updated instantly via the App Store. We imagine the iPad will have a similar setup, so by not bundling the app, it can make quicker changes.
But another theory is that this makes Apple look better in terms of potential antitrust violations.
If Apple were to bundle the iBooks store as a built-in app, and it absolutely dominated the iPad e-book market as a result of that, Apple could potentially be accused of a similar abuse of power that Microsoft was accused of in the 1990s, when it got in trouble for bundling Internet Explorer as the default Web browser for Microsoft Windows. (Microsoft eventually settled, and still bundles IE with most copies of Windows, but it was a huge mess.)
By not bundling the iBooks store as a built-in iPad app, it seems likely that Apple would be in better shape. It can say that iPad customers have equal access to rival e-reader apps and e-book stores, such as Amazon's or Barnes and Noble's, and aren't being pushed into Apple's e-book store.

Narcissist in the Mirror / POP (Pick of the Fringe)
See the Coliseum's Pick of the Fringe from the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, POP by EVENTHORIZON., performed on the main stage in a double bill with Rosie Fleeshman's Narcissist in the Mirror.
Abbi and Beth want to be Kate and Naomi, walking the fashion week in Paris or partying with britpop stars in London. Instead, they're stuck in a small northern town, incarcerated to pre-fab science labs and cold wet playgrounds.
Teenage friendship is tested and the bonds of loyalty severed in an audacious theatrical presentation, mixing music and fashion in an intercultural, funny and tender new play.
Set in the mid 1990s and late 2000s, taking in London and New York, POP's narrative moves at breakneck speed to a soundtrack of britpop and the backdrop of Blair's Cool Britannia, from past to present and the contemporary aesthetic of The Face, Vice and ID Magazine.
Created by EVENTHORIZON., POP features Martha Godber (RIGHT, Old Vic Theatre, London; The Empty Nesters' Club, John Godber Company) and Sade Malone (BAFTA Scholarship Winner 2017) in an unflinching and raw, prescient, funny and tender new production.
Written by Will Hammond
Nothing to Declare Productions
Narcissist in the Mirror
Winner of Best New Play at The 2017 Manchester Theatre Awards and Best Spoken Word Show at The 2017 Manchester Fringe Festival.
A dark comedy about life, ambition and millennial expectation: Narcissus is a love addict, a starving artist and a lost soul searching for self-worth. Laced with acerbic wit, punchy dialogue and intricate spoken word, Narcissist in the Mirror is an honest account of self-exploration as rip-roaring as it is poignant and heartfelt.
Premiering in April 2017, Narcissist In The Mirror has played to back to back sell-out audiences and received widespread critical acclaim. It was selected for PUSH festival by HOME Manchester, enjoyed a sold out run at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, receiving a London transfer from The Pleasance in the process, and has just been optioned for a six part television series by Lime Productions, the pilot is currently in development.
Written and performed by Rosie Fleeshman. Directed by Sue Jenkins.

Work First
Work First Cash AssistanceWork First is a temporary financial assistance program for families. It is our goal to help the applicants/recipients become gainfully employed in as short a time as possible. A cash benefit and other services are provided to meet a client's basic needs while the client is seeking employment.
To receive cash benefits, a family must meet established criteria:
Have a child in your home under the age of 18
You or your children must be a U.S. Citizen or qualified alien.
Have a certain degree of kinship to the child, or have legal custody or guardianship of a child.
Cooperate with the Child Support Enforcement Agency.
Cooperate with Work First Employment Services
Be income and reserve eligible.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES: North Carolina's Work First program is based on the philosophy that all people have the responsibility to their families and the community to work and provide for their children. The family and the employment coordinator develop a binding contract, Mutual Responsibility Agreement, that details their plans for getting off welfare and commits them to taking care of their family. It also provides services provided by the Work First program to help them reach their goals and obtain self-sufficiency. Each participant is required to participate in at least 35 hours per week of work, job search, training or volunteer work. Employment Services are specially designed to help families get and maintain a job. Employment Services should assist each family to accomplish the following:
Increase personal responsibility
Remove barriers to employment, such as offering assistance with childcare and transportation to assist in obtaining employment
Secure employment
Reduce long-term dependence on welfare programs
Work First Benefit Diversion
An optional package of services that include: A one-time lump-sum payment equal to the maximum of three months of Work First Family Assistance Benefits.
Benefit Diversion provides an opportunity for families to receive immediate help and preserve their independence from welfare. The following family may be likely candidates for Benefit Diversion:
- Families with a caretaker on maternity leave receiving little or no pay. The caretaker is expected to return to the same job within a few weeks and needs help with routine household expenses.
- A family with a caretaker who has a solid job offer following graduation. The caretaker needs assistance between graduation and beginning employment two months later.
- A family with a caretaker who is recently employed. The caretaker will not get first check in time to cover, rent, utilities and child care costs.
- A family who previously received public assistance for a short period of time. Since then, the family has been employed and self-supporting. The caretaker, now unemployed, has a strong prospect to return to work quickly. He needs help with household expenses between jobs.
Work First Benefit Diversion can only be received 1 time in a 12 month period.
How to Apply
Apply at the local DSS office.

For 113 years, the downtown statue of a Confederate soldier has faced north.
But 2017 will likely be its last year occupying the corner of University and Main, as the county commission voted 4-1 on May 23 to declare the statue "surplus property" to be offered to the local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Kirby Smith 202 chapter of the Daughters has 60 days to decide whether to accept the statue and 60 more days remove it at their own expense.
They have not yet decided whether to accept or reject the statue, said Nansea Markham Miller, president of the chapter.
County Commissioner Mike Byerly, who authored the passing motion, said that if the Daughters turn the statue down, declaring the statue surplus gives county staff the discretion to dispose of it. The statue would most likely be offered to private groups or publicly auctioned.
"If absolutely no one wants it, we will scrap it," Byerly said.
The vote was two years in the making. This is how we got here:
The statue—depicting a nameless Confederate soldier—was installed on county property in 1904. It is one of many similar-looking statues that were produced in the North (the downtown statue is from Salem, Ohio) and bought by neo-Confederate groups, like the Daughters, to spread what is known as the "Lost Cause."
The "Lost Cause" refers to the narrative that the Civil War was fought for states' rights, not slavery. This view of the Civil War became prevalent in the late 1800s as white Southerners looked to reimagine the antebellum South as virtuous and honorable.
Historians generally agree that the "Lost Cause" narrative helped preserve white supremacy, as it became the justification for constructing monuments to Confederate soldiers and retaining the Confederate flag. Such symbols in the post-war South came to signify the continued dominance of white over black people despite the Civil War's outcome. The inscription on the monument's pedestal, encapsulates this view.
The statue remained undisturbed for 111 years until June 17, 2015, when the white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina. His invocation of Confederate symbols and ideology provoked a debate about the public display of monuments honoring the Confederacy across the country and in Gainesville.
Following a change.org petition that gained over 1,000 signatures and multiple public protests, in September 2015 the county commission voted 3-2 to donate the statue to the Matheson History Museum on the condition the museum pay for its removal.
But after over a year of negotiations, the Matheson refused the statue, citing concerns over a lack of space and funds.
The estimated cost for removing the statue is $14,000, money the commission could come up with themselves.
"In the context of a budget that's six figures or seven figures, I should say the idea that the County Commission would come up with $14,000 to make a move if they felt strongly about it is certainly a possibility," said Mark Sexton, the communications coordinator for Alachua County.
In December 2016, a year after the Matheson initially refused the statue, the county was still attempting to negotiate with them. By February 2017, the county began to consider alternatives to the Matheson, including moving the statue to Veterans Memorial Park or placing a plaque in front of the inscription.
On April 26, 2017, Confederate Memorial Day, a "Rally Against Racism" was held at the statue in response to an attempt by Confederate groups to place a wreath on the statue.
The wreath was never placed, but Gainesville's attention was back on the statue.
A month later, at a county commission meeting on May 23, the issue was raised once again. Prior to the meeting, more than 100 people on both side of the issue—and from as far away as Jacksonville—rallied by the statue, and one protester was arrested for spitting. Public comment caused the commission meeting to last four hours.
At the end of the meeting, the motion to declare the statue surplus passed 4-1.
The Vote
Commissioner Robert Hutchinson voted for the motion and said he was speaking up for those who could not speak up in 1904—the height of lynchings in Alachua County, when it would have been impossible for a black person to object to the statue.
Commissioner Charles Chestnut, who seconded the motion, said he had read up on the history over the course of the last two years.
"I didn't see anything about southern heritage," he said. "What I saw was everything about white supremacy."
Only Commissioner Lee Pinkoson voiced support for keeping the statue in place, noting that he considered it a memorial to the dead.
The commission voted to give the statue to the Daughters of the Confederacy, who now have 60 days to decide whether to accept the statue and then 60 days to remove it.
One way or the other, the statue will be removed from its current location.
Byerly—who said he did not see the statue as history, but as public artwork—said the statue will be replaced with a piece of art that affirms the entire community's hopes and dreams, and speaks for everyone.
"I don't necessarily envision some guy on a horse," he said. •

The Lifespan of Ash Trees
Ash is the common name for the Fraxinus genus of trees in the Oleaceae family of plants that includes olive and lilac. There are 45 to 65 species, including white ash, Biltmore ash, European ash and black ash. They are large, deciduous trees distinguished by their opposite branching habit and pinnately (feather-like) compound leaves. Bark and leaf color differ by species.
Ash tree seeds are one-seeded nutlets with elongated wings called keys. Ash trees are 30 to 40 years old before they bear flowers and seeds. The Fraxinus excelsior species of ash has compact clusters of flowers that open in May before leaf bloom. Female flowers produce seeds that ripen into pale green keys by late summer. They dry to brown by late autumn and are distributed on wind to germinate in open ground.
Ash are fast growing to their expected lifespan of 200 to 300 years. They thrive in full sunlight, growing more slowly in shaded areas. Young saplings tolerate wind and atmospheric pollution. The branches develop in opposite pairs from the trunk, similar to maple and dogwood trees. Branches continue to form in opposite pairs as the sapling develops. The branches are round with budding on opposite sides. Bark color varies with the species, from light gray shaggy textured to smooth brown or grayish-brown. The bark of black ash is scaly and crumbles easily when rubbed with the palm of the hand.
The white ash, Fraxinus Americana, grows well in heavy, clay-like soil. It reaches an average height of 50 to 80 feet and its trunk diameter is 2 to 3 feet. This common American ash tree does well near streams and lower slopes and is sensitive to drought conditions. Its leaves are 8 to 12 inches long, opposite and sharp-pointed. Foliage is dark green above with a pale green underside, becoming brown and purplish during autumn.
Mature Ash
Mature ash trees begin reproducing after 30 to 40 years. The tree is home to woodpeckers and nuthatch birds. Ash wood is one of the strongest hardwoods, used by early cultures for baskets and tool handles. Ash is an elastic hardwood that can be shaped easily. Today, ash wood is used to make furniture, sport equipment and aircraft parts.
Common insect problems for ash trees include the ash sawfly, ash borer and oystershell scale. The ash borer develops underneath the bark area and cannot be seen unless bark is removed. Trees that are injured or weak are most susceptible to attack. Ash trees should be fed with organic compost bi-annually to help prevent attack from borers and other insect pests.

'King Peggy': A Cinderella Story — With A Twist

Excerpt: King Peggy
When the council meeting ended at six, the sun was just rising and the world outside was silver. The elders returned to their fields to do some work before the day became too hot. Peggy went to her room to rest a bit and saw a line of children with heavy metal buckets of water on their heads trudging down the path from the bore hole behind the house. Some of them were headed for her kitchen.
Auntie Esi stood next to Peggy as she gazed out the window. "How far do they walk?" Peggy asked.
"There are only two bore holes, so the kids that live furthest away have to walk about a half hour in each direction."
"An hour for a single bucket," Peggy said quietly.
"And some kids make two or three trips before and after school. Some walk for six hours a day."
"Is the water clean at least?"
Auntie Esi shrugged. "It's not clean if you haul it from the pond. That water is a yellowish-brown, and that's what the entire town had to use when the pipes first broke in 1977. But the local government representatives built two bore holes shortly after that which provide very clean water, though it costs money. A few pennies a bucket."
Peggy scowled. "You mean they charge for clean water?"
Auntie Esi nodded. "The pumps break down a lot, so they use the money to pay for repairs."
"And the people who can't afford the bore hole water drink the yellowish-brown water?"
Auntie Esi nodded again. "They don't get sick from it, though. For hundreds of years before the British brought piped water, people in Otuam got all their water from the pond. Many believe the goddess of the pond purifies the water and keeps them healthy."
Peggy sighed, a deep sigh that came from the soul and rumbled through her entire body. Evidently the pond contained one of the seventy-seven gods and goddesses known to protect Otuam. But even so, no American king could allow her people to drink that disgusting water. And besides, it was well known that sometimes nature gods and goddesses left their ancient spots without a word of warning. If the goddess left, those drinking the water would sicken and even die. She would have to get those kids more bore holes, free bore holes, and eventually fix the pipes. How on earth was she going to afford it?
Auntie Esi put her weathered hand on Peggy's shoulder. "You will fix the water later," she said. "Remember the sparrow, who builds her nest one twig at a time. We are going to eat breakfast now, and after that we are going to give you your first royal etiquette lesson. You don't want to disgrace the stool by doing something inappropriate for a Ghanaian king." After breakfast, the aunties taught Peggy how to walk majestically. A king, they said, was never to show any hurry. The whole world waited for a king. Flapping around here and there like a chicken was undignified.
Auntie Esi strolled at a glacial pace down the hall, head up, shoulders back. "Like this, Nana. You bounce around too much and go too fast."
"In the US, if I walked that slowly I would be hit by a car," Peggy pointed out. "No one there would wait for me to cross the street. They would run me down, and as I bounced on the asphalt they would keep on going so they wouldn't be late for a meeting."
Auntie Esi smiled. "But there are very few cars in Otuam, and here they wouldn't run over their king. Try it again, slowly."
Peggy sighed. Give just a hint of a smile, they said, showing regal serenity. Shoulders relaxed. Head held high. Chin up. Slow, straight, determined steps. Self-consciously, she walked back and forth in front of them, like an awkward aspiring model training for the runway.
"Too fast!" cried one.
"Hold your chin higher!" said another.
"You're frowning!" said Auntie Esi. "Don't frown in public."
"Don't frown?" Peggy asked. "What if I see something I don't like?"
"Don't frown!" Auntie Esi repeated. "You can make a mental note of the problem and deal with it later."
"And you can't eat or drink in public. It's unseemly for a king to be shoving things into her face. Plus, if there is a witch in the crowd watching you she can make you choke to death on whatever you're consuming."
Peggy had heard about the no-eating-in-public rule, though she was unaware it had to do with witches. It made sense, though, that witches, known as vengeful, jealous creatures, would want to harm a king, especially one who stood for the good. Witches created havoc for the sheer malicious pleasure of it, and you never knew who in your village was a witch. Sudden illnesses, childhood deaths, accidents: they might all be traced back to the kindly old grandmother next door or the jovial uncle down the street. Only a traditional priest, using tried and true rituals, could determine if bad luck was caused by the ancestors punishing selfish behavior or by a witch making trouble for good people, and then prescribe the proper rituals to take care of it.
Peggy sighed again. As king, she had to worry whether Uncle Joseph would haunt her for not burying him in a timely manner. She had to remain vigilant against evil spirits who might zoom into her. And now she had to defend herself against spiteful jealous witches who could be anywhere. Not eating or drinking in public was simple compared to these more troubling issues.
"In Otuam I will abide by this rule," she said. "But in the US, we all work so much that we have to grab a bite in public sometimes because when we get home it is too late to cook. And no one there knows I am a king."
"They know at the embassy. One of them might be a witch. And even if they aren't, it would be undignified to stuff your face even there."
Witches. At the embassy. Looking back on her twenty-nine years there, Peggy realized this could explain a lot of things.
"And Nana," Auntie Esi said, "the king can't argue in public."
"Argue in public?" she said, all wide-eyed innocence. Surely they hadn't heard anything of her arguments at the embassy. "Me?'
Cousin Comfort chimed in, "Nana, we all know that even since you were a small child, when someone misbehaves, you can't let it go."
"When you see an injustice," Cousin Comfort continued, "you are like a village dog with his jaws locked on a bone. You just don't give it up. But as king you will have to deal with these things in the council chamber, and not yell at people on the street or beat them with brooms." The aunties all laughed at that one.
Auntie Esi said, "And if you are wearing the crown and want to say a crude thing, you have to take it off before you speak so as not to dishonor it."
"And there's one more thing," Auntie Esi added. "It is not regal for a king to always be running off to the bathroom. When you have official events, we will give you a special dish that takes away the urge to urinate for the entire day. Still, it is best not to drink much before or during. Just a little water so you don't faint in the heat."
The heat. Though it was still early, the delicious coolness of the night had vanished, replaced by a stultifying miasma of sticky air. During the etiquette lesson, Peggy and her aunties had glowed at first, then perspired, and now the sweat was running down their faces in rivulets.
Peggy knew that the best drink to stave off the heat was beer, which Ghanaians drank in the morning as the heat rose. But beer was also the very drink to make you most want to run to the toilet. Peggy remembered an American comedian who once said, It's good to be da king. Except in Otuam the king would have to be thirsty, and hot, with a bursting bladder and witches putting hexes on her. Maybe it wasn't always good to be the king of Otuam.
"And another thing," Auntie Esi said, "As an American, you probably brought deodorant. But here people cut a lemon in half and rub the two halves all over their bodies. They let the lemon juice sink in, and a while later they bathe with soap and water. This works better than deodorant." For lunch they had the staple food of Otuam – fresh fish deep fried, on white rice, and covered with a spicy onion and tomato sauce. They would be eating it for lunch and dinner for Peggy's entire stay. In the US she often didn't think twice about the wide range of food she had and would have complained if she had to eat the same thing all day long. Africans could enjoy the same meal again and again and be grateful for it.
"By God's grace, the people here are never hungry," Auntie Esi explained as they dove into their meal. "They are very poor, and don't possess much, and they have to haul water. But there is plenty of food. Nana, you should see the dozens of fishing canoes that come in every morning, their nets heavy with fish. And the farms produce beautiful pineapples, papayas, coconuts, plantains, and cassavas."
That was indeed a blessing. While the other problems were vexing, hunger among Peggy's people would have devastated her. The people of Otuam would never be hungry, and living in Ghana they would certainly never be cold.

It doesn't discriminate against age, race or gender. It doesn't care who your parents were, your previous experience or whether you went to college or not. It doesn't require you to be a people person or to dress to impress. It doesn't care about anything that would concern "normal employers." So if all that's true, why aren't more people succeeding online? There are many reasons obviously, but there is ONE UGLY TRUTH that holds more people back than anything else I know of... They just don't know how. It's not that you don't have access to "how to" information. It's that for whatever the reason, it usually doesn't work as stated. Almost every affiliate marketer I know has had the experience of buying an affiliate marketing information product, perhaps spending thousands on it, and then discovering it doesn't work. ClickBank knows its success rests on the shoulders of its affiliate marketers. That's why they decided to create an affiliate training program that people can rely on.

Just like what I am experiencing now. It's as simple as that. They want their affiliate marketers knowing the most effective online methods so your time and efforts are handsomely rewarded. This is not a trick question Because until ClickBank University, despite the seemingly endless procession of gurus out there, there was no single reputable source for the latest in how to launch a ClickBank-based business.

The independent film is making a comeback. But did you even know it was gone?
Certainly indies have been challenged to make their voices heard, given the financial tumult of the last few years. And because many independent films that were produced in the late '90s through the middle of this decade were financed through hedge funds, that train roared off a cliff along with the rest of the American economy.
Thankfully, we are now seeing a new kind of independent film that is both artistically and financially savvy. Producers and directors seem to really understand that IATSE members are willing, able and excited about doing these kinds of films. One of the best films I ever made, Testament, was done for $700,000, which nearly three decades ago seemed like a good deal of money! And, once again, we are seeing that ultra-low budget level [films from $500,000 up to $1.85 million] falling under a Local 600 contract.
And these are not insignificant works, mind you.
Higher Ground, shot in upstate New York by Guild DP Michael McDonough, with a Local 600 crew that included A-camera operator Jeffrey Dutemple, 1st AC Nate Slevin, 2nd AC Nadine Martinez, B-camera operator Manuel Billeter, and B-camera 2nd AC James Daly, is a great example of overachieving on a tiny budget. Its first-time director, actress Vera Farmiga, was wise enough to utilize a union camera team, and guess what? Higher Ground is playing this year in the Dramatic Competition at Sundance! Other examples of how low can you go for the best quality possible include Louisiana-shot films like Area 51, with DP Yaron Levy, and Super, shot by Steve Gainer in Shreveport. Vamps, shot in Detroit, Mich., was done by cinematographer Tim Suhrstedt, ASC, under an ultra-low budget agreement with veteran indie director Amy Heckerling at the helm, and a cast that included Krysten Ritter, Sigourney Weaver and Malcolm McDowell.
Of course one of the great rewards of Local 600 DPs and camera teams working on low-budget indie films is the chance to revel in the discovery of a first-time director. When I shot Donnie Darko nine years ago, Richard Kelly was 23 years old and had never made a feature film. Yet that movie went on to great acclaim at Sundance, and was a hit with audiences and critics alike; today I count Kelly as one of the most talented writer/directors I've ever met. It's also exciting to be able to raise the production level of a low-budget film to a bar that only IATSE crews can provide. Prior to our low-budget contracts it felt like filmmakers were running the other way to avoid shooting Union, while now they are doing everything in their power to bring us onboard. The reason: We can deliver the best possible film they can make for their money.
Certainly this rebirth of independent film (if it was ever moribund at all) has been helped in great part by the many film festivals dedicated to providing a springboard. Sundance, of course, remains the premier festival for independents, but there are also platforms all over the world determined to highlight low-budget movies with unique artistic voices. That's why Local 600 spends as much time as we do to help our members get the honors they deserve from these exciting projects.

Here is always on the look out for new and innovative ideas to help our readers stay healthy and fit… and sleeping on a good quality memory-foam mattress can offer a wide range of unique benefits, many of which can be good for your health too. As a result, many hospitals and medical facilities make use of them for their patients in order to make their sleeping conditions more comfortable and favourable for them.
Here are some of health benefits that memory foam can offer:
1. The foam can help with the treatment of sleeping disorders such as insomnia and apnea as it helps to relax the entire body. This not only helps your body to physically prepare itself for sleep, but also opens your airways, making breathing more comfortable too.
2. The foam will help lower the risk of waking up with aches and pains caused by sleeping on a poor quality mattress. The visco-elastic foam will give your body full support and mould to your natural curves. Memory foam also helps to keep your spine aligned while you sleep and is an ideal choice for those suffering with arthritic conditions.
3. Thanks to the temperature sensitivity of the foam, it is able to provide extra cushioning to your pressure points and mould to your body rather than requiring your body to mould it.
4. Memory foam enhances blood circulation and can help to prevent pressure sores from forming.
5. The open-cell structure of the material allows air to flow freely through it, keeping it at an even temperature all through the night. This will therefore help to keep your body cool and also reduce the risk of swelling and chaffing while you're asleep.
6. Because the foam is hypoallergenic is it the perfect solution for allergy sufferers. Unlike other mattresses it will not attract bed bugs and is a good choice for asthma sufferers.
Additional memory foam products such as pillows and memory foam mattress toppers can also be used to help you create a healthy and comfortable sleeping environment.
Invest in your health and sleep with a good quality mattress from the Memory Foam Warehouse. They are the UK's top manufacturer of memory foam mattresses and have a team of experts on hand to answer any questions you may have as well as offer advice on the best mattress for your needs. Their website is filled information on everything you need to know about their memory foam products.

If you're short on time, skip Steps 1 and 2 and use smoked trout fillets instead. Plus: More Seafood Recipes and Tips
How to Make It
Light a grill or heat a grill pan. Rub the trout fillets with a little vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin side down, until cooked around the edges but still raw on top. Arrange the trout fillets in a large baking dish, skin side down, in a single layer.
Combine the 2 cups of vegetable oil with the shallots and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cook over high heat until barely softened but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and sage, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pour the marinade evenly over the trout. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, roast the peppers over a gas flame or under a broiler until charred all over and softened. Transfer the peppers to a bag and let steam for 20 minutes. Peel, seed and core the peppers, then cut them into 1/4 -inch strips.
In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil with the sherry vinegar and mustard until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add the arugula, fennel, tomatoes and roasted peppers and toss gently to coat. Mound the salad on a large platter. Arrange the marinated trout on top and serve immediately.

Angela Schneider and Robert Butcher A Philosophical Overview of the Arguments on Banning Doping in Sport" in Tannjso and Tamburrini (eds) Values in Sport: Elitism, Nationalism, Gender Equality and the Scientific Manufacture of Winners (Taylor and Francis, 2000). In accordance with the article Fitness Centers- Complete Constructing Guide" from the website , this well being, recreational, and social facility is geared in direction of train, sports, and other bodily activities." Most fitness facilities try to accommodate many different types of exercise or sport services under one roof.
That could be a legitimate point, as a result of one of many criteria for Olympic participation is the number of countries in which the sport is 'extensively practised' (I imagine the determine is seventy five for men and 40 for girls). Freeway bars enable for leg stretching room on longer rides, supply convenient mounting points for auxiliary lighting and so they can supply some protection during a dump. In my opinion, schools should held campaigns in regards to the significance of sports to alert the scholars that sports is actually an intriguing exercise. With my expertise in roller derby, folks at all times have questions about the sport and if you understand the knowledge and are excited about it they will be fascinated. With it being a necessary a part of some sports (corresponding to motorsport), it is used in others to enhance performance. This is unlike the one-measurement suits all" and all on the same time" experience of many physical training and sport coaching periods.
There are sports presents, tables, gaming present ideas, electronics and books.. Even should you don't see a perfect present, the article will encourage you to consider heaps extra ideas. I didn't assume so…. But perhaps you are running wanting studying material for the journey, and the guide book simply is not doing it for you any extra. The exhibition is sponsored by EA Sports who publish the vastly successful FIFA 16 game collection, and Sports Interactive, creators of Football Manager – the world's most popular management recreation. The alternatives managed by the Govt Company are funded beneath the sports strand of Erasmus+ and are aimed toward supporting European partnerships targeted on grassroots sport.
The excellent news is that – for such a spot in the course of nowhere, Jtree and the encircling space has loads of distinctive and attention-grabbing things to do. Throughout the numerous sports during which I work, after I ask coaches what their biggest challenge and supply of stress is, the overwhelming response is parents. Shermer goes on to note that the identical incentive to take medicine exists in virtually every sport. Shortly we will look at its standing within the 21st century and the envisaged future of the sport.
I do not compete in agility, however I can see how colors can have an effect on canine in several canine sports and lots of coaching situations. As far as I do know for a sport to be accepted in the Olympics there should be official federations and tournaments in a sure number of countries. By watching a few of these fun gymnastics-themed motion pictures, though, you can benefit from the beauty and fearlessness of the sport at any time. As regards the first form of harm — that of encouraging disrespect for guidelines and authority — there are two issues that must be stated.

Many people long to do something different. They dream about starting a new career but can't get past the common hurdles: how to leverage what they know into what they love and how to live on less, as a new career often means a pay cut.
This is what Morgan Jensen was faced with. As a chiropractor for the past 20 years she had built a successful practice. While she loved treating patients, her profession didn't allow her to use her creative talents. She longed to be a product designer, "I was always looking at things and thinking what else could this be or do?"
Then one day her passions intersected, "It was my most challenging patients that helped me realize there was a way to combine my love of design with my practice." After treating hundreds of women with neck and shoulder problems due to the way they hiked up their shoulder to carry their bags, Jensen created an ergonomic and, importantly, stylish backpack. She was thrilled with the prospect of launching her bag and new career. Then the realization hit, "I was 55, had no formal design training or connections in the fashion industry, so how was I going to get this bag to market?" That's when she decided to put her creation, "the City Bag", to the test on the crowd funding site, Kickstarter.
The beauty of crowd funding is that you can get great exposure and feedback for your creative project and raise the necessary money to bring it to market. With 10 days to go, Jensen is almost half way to her $20,000 goal. Even if she doesn't reach it, the response to her design has given her the confidence to switch careers, "The fact that so many people want the bag is validating. I feel like I can call myself a designer now".
Aimee Gilbreath had a similar situation, as her profession and passion seemed miles apart. After getting an MBA from Stanford she joined the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) as a consultant. Soon, airports and hotel rooms took the place of home. With a hectic travel schedule and demanding job, Aimee couldn't have a pet, which was especially tough, having grown up with cats, dogs, horses and pigs. That's when she decided to volunteer at a local pet adoption center. Unfortunately, the way the organization was run, it wasn't a fit, "I wanted to feel like I was making a difference and this place was more focused on politics than getting animals adopted". So she left.
A few months later she was at the office late one night thumbing through the Harvard Business Review when she spotted an ad. It was a job posting for an Executive Director at a pet adoption center, Found Animals. This organization wanted someone with business building skills. Aimee immediately called the recruiter and was thrilled to learn that Found Animals shared her vision for what an adoption center should be. They wanted to run it as a business for the benefit of the animals. After a series of successful interviews, she got the job. Although she admits the decision to leave BCG and get off her career trajectory was "agonizing", she has no regrets. As to making less money, "I still have the lifestyle I want and, importantly, have a job that's emotionally fulfilling".
Under Gilbreath's leadership, the foundation has grown from a staff of two to more than 40 employees and their programs will help over 90,000 pets this year.
Changing careers is seldom without risk and not every story has a happy ending. But research has shown people's main regret is not the things they have done, but the things they haven't.
As you prepare to make your New Year's resolutions and evaluate where you are in life's journey, consider looking for a way to marry your professional training with your passion. Sometimes the road less traveled can be the right one for you.

The One Mistake You Make When Cleaning the Tub
How to clean more efficiently.
Come cleaning day, you're most likely spraying the bathtub with disinfectant, right? Unless you leave it to sit on the surface for at least 5 minutes, however, it's a rather fruitless endeavor. Disinfectant cleaners need time to kill bacteria, so experts suggest that you spray then walk away for 5 to 10 minutes. For best results, liberally spray the tub's surfaces (Our experts like Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner), let it sit for at least five minutes, scrub with a nylon bristle brush, and rinse.
And if you have glass shower doors, make them sparkle by spritzing with a car-cleaning classic. Every three months, apply Rain-X Original Glass Treatment to repel water spots and prevent the buildup of soap scum.
While you're at it, you may be tempted to deal with that pesky clogged drain by dumping on harsh chemicals. However, experts warn that some chemical cleaners could damage pipes. Instead, pour ½ cup of baking soda into the drain followed by ½ cup white vinegar (FYI: It will foam up like a fifth grade science experiment.). Let it foam for five minutes before rinsing with a kettle full of boiling water. Doing this once a month should prevent clogs from forming and neutralize any lingering odors.

Anyone may request to review case files, but may only review up to three case files at any one time. When reviewing case files, you are prohibited by federal law from removing any documents from the file. If you need copies, please ask a deputy clerk for assistance.
As of October 6, 2003, the Clerk's Office began using a new case management system. All docket information filed on or after October 6, 2003, are available in electronic format only. These images are available to all attorneys or other users who have a PACER account. If you do not have a PACER account, please go to the PACER Service Center for more information.
If you do not have access to PACER, you can view and/or print documents in electronic format by using the public computers available for use in the Clerk's Office during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) to view and print the electronic documents. There is no cost to view the documents but there is a fee of $.10 per page to print them.
On September 14, 2010, the Judicial Conference amended the policy on privacy and public access to electronic case files by restricting public access through PACER to documents in bankruptcy cases that were filed before December 1, 2003, and have been closed for more than one year, with the following conditions:
- The docket sheet and docket information will remain available to the general public via PACER.
- Any party that has filed a notice of appearance in an individual case will have CM/ECF access to all filings in that case
- All documents in such cases will remain accessible at the clerks' offices, except those under seal.
- Access to documents in bankruptcy case appeals filed in the district courts, bankruptcy appellate panels or courts of appeals for bankruptcy cases filed in the bankruptcy court prior to December 1, 2003, will be similarly restricted.
There are public terminals available in the Clerk's Office during normal business hours for printing of electronic documents. You may view the documents at no cost, however, there is a fee of $.10 per page to print them. There is no cost for printed documents of less than ten (10) pages. If a document is not electronic and the paper file is available in the Clerk's Office, the clerk will photocopy documents at $.50 per page. Requests that are voluminous (i.e. exceeding ten (10) pages) will require a copy request form. The copy request form is available at the intake counter. The copy request is processed usually within 24-48 hours (or possible longer), depending on the request.
A request for photocopies of documents in case files may be made in writing by mail. These requests require a $30 search fee for the deputy clerk to locate the documents and an additional photocopying fee of $.50 per page. To ensure timely processing of your request, please include the debtor's name, the case number, a list of documents to be copied, and a money order or attorney's business check payable to "Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court" for $30. Please do not send cash or personal checks. A self-addressed stamped envelope should also be provided for the return of the photo copies. The deputy clerk will search the case file for the document(s) and contact you for the additional photocopying charge of $.50 per page.

Sometimes the mainstream media surprises me. Now is one of those times.
For the media, military tragedy tends to go one of two ways. The first – the easy button – is fraught with hastily reported and often inaccurate information, followed closely by the (again) too hasty release of the identities of those involved and, finally, capped with purely tear jerking stories.
The second way takes more thought. It starts with comparatively slow to emerge details, all tempered by the true gravity of the situation. The names and unit information trickle out as families report to local media that their loved one was involved. The tears over the tragedy of it all are mixed with smiles as lives and heroism are celebrated.
Sometimes reporters do get it right. And as far as I can tell, the heart wrenching events of August 6 have, for the most part, resulted in media option number two. Sure, there are some examples of inappropriate coverage. But for the most part I stand amazed. Who knew it was possible?
This time, rather than savaging the tragedy for the sake of ratings and readership, most agencies have absorbed the gravity of the situation and are doing the right thing: honoring the fallen while respecting the families.
Here are some examples:
This NPR story was broadcast this evening. The reporter could've easily found friends and family of the servicemember willing to sob on tape. Instead, his story reflected the joy SEAL Kevin Houston found in life. I did cry listening to it -- but only because Kevin is so beautifully remembered. Sometimes beauty is also tragic.
This ABC story on wives rallying around each other borders on easy-button-dome, but redeems itself in the end. Give it a read.
This AP round-up of information and names released by the families is a working, honorable obituary to several of the fallen. While it mentions those left behind, it also focuses on the little, beautiful things.
I am particularly sensitive to bad media coverage. As a mainstream, traditional reporter I know the rules and work that goes into any given story. I also understand the rush for information and the need to beat the competition.
But as an Army spouse whose unit experienced 22 KIAs in four months, with seven of those at once, I also know the hurt reporting stories too quickly can cause a unit and, more importantly, the families of those lost. Thanks to a few bad reporters I spent a lot of time during our deployment fruitlessly trying to explain the motives of my fellow media members to angry unit spouses. I learned that some things aren't worth defending. There is a right way to honor the fallen through media coverage – and it's not by setting out to make me or anyone else cry.
One of the most memorable memorials I attended during our time at Joint Base Lewis McChord – and there were more than I can remember or care to count – was for Staff Sgt. David Gutierrez. The way he was honored there is a lesson to reporters everywhere.
Stateside memorials for those from a still deployed unit can be pretty sparse when it comes to the attendance of people who actually knew the servicemember, especially if the family is from a community far away. This service, however, was different.
Staff Sgt. Gutierrez and his family were very involved in the local community. He was also a larger than life member of a local amateur football league. His team came to the military memorial to honor him, as did a variety of other non-military community members. The stories shared at that service for a man I had never met left a vivid memory in my mind of the beautiful life he must've lived and the people who truly loved him. To those who spoke of about him there, Staff Sgt. Gutierrez was first a friend and then a Soldier. The tragedy of the situation was clear – but so were the details of a life well lived. I shed tears at that service for the loss of someone well loved, not purely because of the tragedy.
Every death, military or otherwise, has tragic details -- widows and children left behind, proposals not made and opportunities never to be realized. But the media can more thoroughly honor the 30 lost August 6 by focusing on the beauty of their lives than on the heartwrenching details of their loss.
And so far they are. I hope they keep it up.

Latest Polling Shows an Uphill Battle for Arkansas' Medical Marijuana Initiative, Issue 5
The latest polling data coming out of Arkansas shows a rough fight ahead for their ballot initiative to legalize the medical use of marijuana. In a poll conducted Thursday, October 18th, by TalkBusiness and Hendrix College had support for Issue 5 at just 38%, with opposition at 54% and 8% are undecided. Another poll, conducted by the University of Arkansas between October 9th and October 14, had support for medical marijuana in Arkansas at 44%, opposition at 52%, and undecideds at 5%. Both of these polls show support down when compared to data released in July of this year, which had the issue in a dead heat with 47% support and 46% opposition.
For more information on the initiative and on how you can help legalize medical use of cannabis in Arkansas this November, please visit the campaign's website at www.arcompassion.com

These initiatives should only be started when states are obviously supporting the issues. This kind of thing looks bad for the movement, and steal from victories in more liberal states! It was way to soon for this, and those that proposed it should have known it. Backward states will follow only when they feel pressured. Arkansas is full of backward thinking nuts just like Kansas, Oklahoma, and unfortunately Texas!
fear is a powerful weapon but a war always begins and ends with the truth
That Racist propaganda add the opposition started in Arkansas speaks volumes as to how that state's majority thinks, and everyone knows it.
[…] NORML Blog, Marijuana Law ReformDid you like this? Share it:TweetBe Sociable, Share! Tweet […]
As someone who has lived in Northwest Arkansas their whole life, I assure you that places such as Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Conway and Little Rock are fully behind the medical marijuana movement, even most of the elderly in Bella Vista (a former retirement village that I lived near) are calling for it. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of the racist, backward thinking tea-baggers that are trying to shut it down because of the simple fact that they fear what they don't understand. Humans are a tricky thing.
@BW such a fool, if you never start till everyone's ready you would never start! As for backwards well I'll let you show that side. and for some of the polls some were done by a Christen collage. Time will tell.YES on Issue #5
I'm with you Ken! I haven't given up yet and neither should ANYONE!!! Let's just vote this in and shut down these lowlife naysayers once and for all. THIS ABSOLUTELY IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ARKANSAS!!
It's not that you should'nt start something, it's that you jumped head first into something the majority of Arkansa voters are clearly not ready for. All these ass kicking defeats do is give the "naysayers" a clear message to other backward states that the "legalizers" are still the minority. Look this is just a difference in opinion in the end, all I'm saying is baby steps are required! The states that even have a shot start with some form of decrim to soften up peoples attitudes. I'd share your opinion, and if I lived there I would absolutely vote yes, but the numbers tell me someone did'nt prepare for this.
Sorry about the lack of another s there, but I'm sure you understand seeing as how you misspelled both Christian and college. Fool
