California Department of Transportation
District 2 - Redding
Michael Mayor
(530) 225-3214
May 10, 2010
Redding – California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 2 announced that construction has started on a $7.7 million curve realignment project that will improve safety on State Route 44 in Shasta County. The project, awarded to J.F. Shea Construction of Redding, is financed primarily ($6.4 million) by President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This project and many others around the state are beginning construction sooner than expected thanks to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to expedite stimulus funding.
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's team to ensure stimulus dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly to stimulate the economy and in this instance, invest in the future of California's transportation infrastructure," said Governor Schwarzenegger.
This project, which is a partnership between Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration, with assistance from Lassen National Forest, is located on State Route 44 just west of Lassen Volcanic National Park at the junction of State Route 89. The project will make important infrastructure improvements that will make the road safer: realigning highway curves, widening shoulders, extending an existing truck-climbing lane and increasing the unobstructed area beyond the edge of the roadway.
"This project is a great example of using partnerships to improve the state's highway system," said Caltrans Chief Deputy Director, Cindy McKim. "Stimulus projects such as this are increasing the safety of our roads while providing jobs to Californians when they need them the most."
"Putting people to work in these tough economic times is important," said Ed Kernaghan, Vice President of J.F. Shea Construction. "This project is a great use of stimulus money. It will provide a much-needed boost to the local economy."
"Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California leads the nation with $2.53 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 915 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.ca.gov/

Ask Jimmy and the Bug
art by Dean Stanton, text by Ellen Braaf
Hey Bug! The 4th grader at Keller School wants to know: "If you eat too much will you explode?
Only in science fiction movies will you see an exploding stomach. Your stomach, which grinds, churns, and temporarily stores your food, is designed to stretch.
Unlike a starfish, which can push its stomach out of its mouth and plop it over its dinner, you digest the food you eat inside your body. By a process called peristalsis, muscles contract in waves to push your food through your digestive tract, which is like a long tube (open at both ends) and includes your mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines.
Along the way, your body breaks down your food into smaller and smaller pieces and takes in or absorbs what it needs. The rest passes out of your body as feces (poop).
There are two centers in your brain that control your eating behavior. One senses that you need energy and tells you to eat; the other senses that you've had enough and tells you to stop. But sometimes, people don't pay attention to these messages. Champion competitive eaters like Takeru Kobayashi, a young Japanese man who ate 50 1/2 hot dogs in 12 minutes, ignore their brains for fame and glory.
But overeating can turn on the "vomiting center" in your brain. When it sends messages to your digestive tract, peristalsis is reversed. Chewed, churned, and partially digested food from your stomach and upper small intestine is pushed up by your muscles until it explodes out of your mouth.
- What process is described in this article?
[anno: The process of digestion.]
- What does this process allow the human body to do?
[anno: It allows the body to break down food and absorb nutrients from the food.]
- Sometimes people vomit if they eat too much food. Other times people vomit food if the food had something wrong with it. For example, if you ate unwashed strawberries that had a harmful bacteria on them, you might vomit the strawberries back up. Why do you think a person's body vomits out food that is bad?
[anno: People vomit out food that is bad because the body is trying to get rid of poisonous material.]

Abington students impress legislators at Penn State Capital Day
Abington students impress legislators at Penn State Capital Day
After two-plus decades in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania state Sen. LeAnna Washington (D-4th District) said it takes a lot to impress her. Last week, the veteran politician praised the professionalism of Penn State Abington students who visited her office to appeal for level state funding for the University in 2013-14.
"People want to meet with me all of the time and many don't accomplish what this group of multicultural students did. They came into my office dressed professionally and presented their story well," Washington said.
The Abington contingent arrived in Harrisburg to participate in Penn State Capital Day with hundreds of other students, alumni and friends of the University. The annual event includes visits to state legislators and a rally in the Capitol rotunda for continued state support for the University and a strengthened partnership with the state.
In addition to Washington, whose district encompasses the Abington campus, other Abington students met with state Sen. Robert M. Tomlinson (R-6th District) and a staff member of state Rep. Gene DiGirolamo (R-18th District).
Student Andrew Devine was excited with the outcome of his visit with Tomlinson and DiGirolamo's staff member. "They were willing to listen to us and talk about the issues," Devine said.
During the day, the students encountered two alumni with Abington connections. Abington Advisory Board Vice Chair Andrew Santacroce, who also serves on the Penn State Alumni Association Alumni Council, also was in Harrisburg. Alumni Association Vice President Kay Frantz Salvino said she has fond memories of the years she spent living and working near Abington.

After the first supply schooner "Presto" arrived in August 1862 The Leichhardt Tree played a significant part in Mackay's maritime history. As thousands of settlers, ships and cargoes arrived in Mackay the tree was used as an anchor for ships to tie to for access into Mackay. Wharves and warehouses were soon developed along River Street and the city grew up around the beautiful blue river.
The self-guided and guided (from May-September) Heritage Walk of Mackay takes you past the Leichardt Tree and tells the tales of this historic landmark.

"A picture of dick and balls": I knew that was gonna happen with the post about the cock and balls photo. Sorry for wasting your time, dude.
"How to eye fuck without being creepy": That was totally gonna be the tagline for this blog before I went with what I have now. Guess I never fully deleted the text from the blog code.
"Cunnilingus Eastern Orthodox": I'm more a student of the Western Orthodox School of Cunnilingus (easier on the jaw), but I hope you found what you were looking for here.
"Dating blog he ran out of things to say": True, but then I wouldn't have checked my analytics and discovered that people are coming here after searching for: "diamond lundy nude twit pussy."
"My girlfriend and i were at the shore together and two days later i find on her phone that she had taken a picture of herself there and texted it to some guy she knows at work. i asked her about it and she said he was gay then she said he was married and then he was both and then it was a joke what do you think is up.": Google is a search engine, not a friend you go to for advice, but since you asked already, your girlfriend is full of shit and you should dump her.
"Semen Club NY": Went there once. Waited in line for an hour and the whole place smelled like bleach.
"Do you shave your balls?": Shave, no. Trim, once in a while. But only when it's looking too rabbinical down there.
"I sucked my Jewish grandmother's tits": And I remember rolling my eyes as a kid when I heard mine say, "Come give grandma a kiss."
"Unwiped ass licking": And I thought the grandma titty sucker was left with a bad taste in his mouth.
"Why wouldn't Holly take me to the bathroom with her?": She probably got tired of all the unwiped ass licking.

'Vital statistics' are births, marriages and deaths. You may also hear "vital records" or "BMDs" and they are often kept by civil registration. Civil registration began in this country (UK) in 1837 and still continues (Sweden began theirs in 1631). This is what provides birth, marriage and death certificates. I wrote about certificates in my A-Z Challenge 2012 post here, Back then in 2012, FreeBMD had transcribed over 214 million records (of references you need to order a certificate). Two years later, and it is over 302 million.
In 1837, some people were wary of registering vital events in their lives, in case they were going to be taxed (well, that's not such a stupid idea; there had already been weird things like hair powder tax, window tax, and dice tax). In fact, it was not until 1875 that it became compulsory to register, and unfortunately some errors have crept into the registers over the years, which is why you may find some difficulty occasionally when searching.
And it's the searching where this years 'back to genealogy basics' comes in. When you are looking for an ancestor, don't expect to find the exact village in civil registration indexes. Villages, towns and cities were organised into registration districts, so for instance the village of South Pool is in the Kingsbridge Registration District. My ancestor wasn't born in Kingsbridge! Don't let that lead you down the wrong path.

We tend to think of maintenance as testing and inspecting. However, the most neglected part of the typical service involves neither to maintain it. What is it? It's the space around the equipment.
Revenue per square foot is an important metric in property management. Unfortunately, people using that metric don't always look at the means of producing that revenue.
This mental blindness permits the misperception that space "set aside" for electrical infrastructure is "wasted," and reducing it is an improvement. So, the thinking (or lack thereof) goes, space devoted production, storage, or trafficways should never be less than 3 ft from electrical equipment; any more is a waste.
The 3-ft number comes from misreading NEC and OSHA flash protection requirements. Because they're based on voltages, these requirements don't universally specify a 3-ft space (it may be more). They provide the minimum for safety, not maintenance or power restoration.
Yes, ensure your service has the OSHA-minimum spacing. But maintain additional space around/within it for effective maintenance. The question is not, "How close can we get to 2 ft, 11.9 in.," but "How much room do we need to properly maintain our electrical infrastructure?" It's an engineering question, not a regulatory one.
Start answering that question by staging and timing maintenance/repair tasks — first in cramped conditions, and then with more room. The difference may amaze you.

The annual Charles Harris Run for Leukemia, which benefits leukemia research at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, is scheduled for Saturday, February 25. The 10K run kicks off at 7:45 am at Tucker High School; the one-mile run/walk starts at Druid Hills Middle School.
The run honors the late Dr. Charles E. Harris — former teacher, coach and beloved principal of Shamrock High School. Dr. Harris passed away more than three decades ago from leukemia at the age of 49. Dr. Harris was an un-sung All-American football player at the University of Georgia and a Marine who volunteered for the Korean War. Playing on the Camp Pendleton football team, Pete Rozelle, father of the modern day NFL, attempted to draft Dr. Harris to the Los Angeles Rams football team before he graduated from UGA. He played one year with the New York Titans (now Jets) and made it to the last cut with the Cleveland Browns during the Jim Brown and Coach Paul Brown era. An avid runner, Dr. Harris ran in the inaugural Peachtree Road Race. He left behind a wife and three children.
Dr. Harris' children, led by son Chuck Harris, began the Charles Harris Run for Leukemia 32 years ago this year, and they have dedicated all race proceeds to Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. In celebration of this special 32nd anniversary, please consider joining us this year as a walker, runner or race day volunteer.
If you would like register for the race please follow the registration link at www.charlesharrisrun.com.
Volunteers are also needed during the race to hand out t-shirts, pass out water at various water stations, cover intersecting points, help out in the finish shoot and help with bag check. Please go to http://charlesharrisrun.com/contactus.html to register to volunteer. All volunteers should report to Shamrock Middle School between 6:15 and 6:30 am. Volunteers will receive a free t-shirt, philanthropic points and the opportunity to watch world class runners compete!
Directions to Shamrock Middle School from Emory University:
- Head Southeast on OXFORD RD NE toward N. Decatur Rd.
- Stay on N. DECATUR RD for 2.1 miles
- Turn left on SCOTT BLVD (also called US29, US-78 E, and GA-8) Follow US-29 for 2.1 miles.
- Turn left on HARCOURT DR.

ALLIANCE, Ohio (AP) Larry Kehres, coach of NCAA Division III powerhouse Mount Union, will go for his 324th victory Saturday when the Purple Raiders take on Otterbein - a win that would push him past Bear Bryant for fourth on college football's career list.
Kehres is 323-24-3 in 27 seasons, all at Mount Union. Bryant won 323 games at Alabama, Maryland, Kentucky and Texas A&M.
Only three college coaches have won more games: John Gagliardi (Carroll, St. John's of Minnesota) with 487, Eddie Robinson (Grambling State) with 408 and Bobby Bowden with 377 (Samford, West Virginia, Florida State).
Kehres' teams have won 10 of the last 18 Division III national titles and 23 Ohio Conference championships, including the last 20.

Is there a known algorithm for approximating a fractal curve, say as specified by some iterative procedure e.g. a Koch snowflake, in terms of $f^{-1}(0)$ for some "simple" function $f$?
Specifically, consider the set $\mathcal{F} = \{(x,y)|f(x,y) = 0 \}$ where $f(x,y) = \sum_{n,m=-N}^N t_{nm} e^{i n x + i m y}$ and $f$ is real. I would like a procedure to determine the parameters $t_{nm}$ such that the set $\mathcal{F}$ is close to the actual fractal curve. Presumably the number $N$ will grow as the required error decreases.
I have been trying to approach this problem by truncating the iteration procedure for the fractal and approximating that piecewise linear curve, but I realized that I don't know a good way to do this either.
This is my first time posting, so my apologies if the question is too elementary.

Happy Holidays! First off, can I just start out with a tip for everyone? It's a no brainer, really, but when you're getting ready to travel, whether it be around the holidays or not, by all means make a list. And even after you do make a list of everything you need, go back and make sure you indeed did pack what you thought, and your eyes did not deceive you.
I bring this up because I'll go right ahead and admit that this photoset was supposed to look different. No major issue–I'm happy with the end result, but I did this shoot over the Thanksgiving holiday, and as I packed the outfit I put together right before traveling, not only did I forget a piece of it, I grabbed the wrong wig as well ("major fail" I hear you thinking to yourself). Apparently I'm partially colorblind, and think a purple wig is a blue wig, or else my apartment has worse lighting than I realize. Either way, lesson learned, figured I'd pass that painfully obvious yet crucial advice to double check your luggage (I see you rolling your eyes, thinking "well DUH").
The shoot ended up a bit more cutesy Lolita than expected, but hey, I rolled with it.
The wig is from Gothic Lolita Wigs, the dress is vintage, and the hairbow is from Rakuen. The shrug is offbrand, my apron is handmade, and "Maybelline Color Show Nail Falsies" (seemingly no longer available, according to Maybelline's site) allowed me to pretend I had lovely nails for the day.

This is a very nice park right on the water. All sites are paved. No issues with Sat' reception as there no large trees at the spots. Price is high for a MWR camp. Hard to justify when there are no additional things at campground. A bathhouse and just a couple of washers & dryers. Price is based on competition off base. The bad part of the camp is that 99% of the sites are not level. Many are horribly slanted. The water and electric are located at the front of the sites. Why? A ignorant contractor and clueless contracting office come to mind. Industry standards were not met. The MWR office has good people working there. They do their best with the lousy reservations software they are forced to use. They do their best to help out. They keep the camp clean and the sites up and running. Parking for toads or trailers is limited. There are not many parking spots for visitors and second vehicles. Be aware, they may ask you to put your trailer in long term during your stay. Commissary & PX are just across route 1 on the other side of base. Real easy to get to and from DC, Pentagon and other tourist sites. National Museum of the Army is going in at the fort. This Campground really needs to expand to accommodate the influx of visitors. 54 sites will no be enough. The self appointed host onsite (does not work for & is not affiliated with MWR) will help you get set up. He will also visit you a lot, and then some. - KodiTzu

Nice and quiet and easy to get to the Metro station at Franconia-Springfield to travel into DC for sight seeing.

We actually left and did not stay here - really no RV sites or place to park - just in a very small un-level parking lot. There is no RV electric - only 20-amp household electric plug-in that one would find in a house. People were very nice, no doubt, but too many factors to stay, even for one night. - campingandtravels.blogspot.com

Sites are gravel and many were grossly unlevel so be careful selecting a site. We were lucky and ours was level. Limited FHU sites available for big rigs. If you like woodsy state parks then this is a good one just outside DC. Very nice playground and commons area in center of park. Many nearby amenities. Our site was left trashy by the previous user which may have been a one time event, but we never saw any clean up activities between different site users. Good location for south side and downtown DC. - americanrascal

We were on site 40 which was 65' long back in with lots of space between sites. Gravel on the site was generous, so no thin spots. It rained once and drainage was good. Back-in was a little difficult around a dumpster and up a hill. Once up the hill the site was level. Very convenient to grocery store and about 7iles from Metro. - Dream Chasers

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay. The restrooms were very nice and clean, even during the busy weekend days. Staf was extremely friendly and we didn't arrive until 1:00 am, but a staff member stopped and checked on us...24 hour staff coverage. Roads could be a little tight for big rigs and our site #2 was not very level, but overall a great park with relatively easy access to DC. Even when full with families on the weekend, it was quiet. - Phil from Akron

We stayed here while touring Washington DC. It was a very convenient 15 minute drive to the Metro. This small, wooded campground has very few level sites, very poor power (we had to run our generator for A/C or our surge protector would turn off the power) and the bathrooms are clean but old & buggy. With the senior discount, it was still a good value & no reservations were needed. In spite of the power issues would stay here again if touring D.C. - June & Joe

Do not take Credit Cards, wanted cash. Small Narrow roads with many tree branches that scraped along side our 37 foot 5th wheel. No sewer hook ups, but water and electric were good. 30 Amp only. Tiny sites, only decent level ones for our 37 footer were 24 and 25. Price is right, but the traffic and crummy roads in and out of here in Clinton MD, were not worth the trip. - Scuba Rock

This is a very nice state park near Waldorf, MD. We have a 32 foot Class C and tow a Chevy Equinox, so when I was researching the sites on-line from home, I had picked Site #12 which was listed as 60 feet long. After checking-in, I drove to the site and immediately noticed that it was very level for the back 20 feet or so, but the remainder was on an incline. Trying a hard as I could, I would have needed at least 6 inches of blocks under the front wheels to bring the MH anywhere near level. Using the auto-levelers in the MH made the rig look like a bucking bronco with the front end up in the air. So I looked around and found that site #16 was much better and would work for me, so I called the office. They were great to work with and let me change from 12 to 16. Site 16 proved to be a little shorter in length but it was level and still long enough for the MH and the Equinox. The electric was fine and we had a water spigot less than 50 feet from the MH, so it was easy to fill the fresh water tank. The dump station is situated on the way out and had a working water hose and good water pressure for the black tank flush. Of the 30 sites, only 2 or 3 others were occupied, so it was very quiet, cold and peaceful during our short stay. If in the area, I would not hesitate to stay here again. - Love To Travel 2
Oct 2016 - $26.00
Nice, small, and quiet campground. The sites are well-shaded and trees separate the sites, providing some privacy. My motorhome is less than 25', so I have no problems maneuvering into any of the sites; however, some larger than 35' might have issues, as not all sites can accommodate large rigs. Some sites have electric, none have water, but water spigots are placed generously throughout the campground. There are also fire rings and picnic tables on the sites.
The bathhouse is clean and has showers.

Point lost for site selection method. Only a few sites suitable for longer rigs but no attempt by park to assign rigs to size appropriate sites. A class B or tent can fit into any site. A larger rig can only fit into larger sites. No issue for us since we were off weekend & at end of season. There was a teardrop trailer in an extra long site nearby. Had a 40' rig come in the park would have lost the revenue since the teardrop had the only site suitable for a big rig. Feels very remote & quiet. Only noise is distant Andrews AFB air traffic. - Veebyes

The site was large, almost perfectly level, and wooded. It was also right next to the bath house, which was great for the kids. There were several paved walking paths leading to the bath house, so no one cut through our site to get to it. Site was equipped with a fire ring, grill grate, lantern post, and nice long picnic table. There was a nearby shed with firewood for $5/crate, sold on the honor system. However, there were lots of downed trees around, so we never had to buy any firewood. We were near the "top" of the oval loop, so also had close access to the foot trail through the forest, as well as the foot bridge over the creek, leading to the marina. Bath house was old, and quite buggy, but reasonably clean. No dish washing sink. Showers looked ok, and the stalls were quite large. Marina at the day-use area was very nice. Several docks for strolling and fishing, and saw quite a few boat slips available. There is also a discovery/nature center and art center in the day use area, both of which we really enjoyed. There is a nice, brand new playground, and a pavilion which looked pretty basic and old. The day use area seems to see the most action (and maintenance) in the park, by far. There is a separate historic area in the park, which contains Gen. Smallwood's mansion, and a few other historic buildings. According to the website, these are only open a few days out of each month during the summer, and for an open-house type event around Christmastime. There is another pavilion in this area, as well as a recycled tire playground. The playground is about 15 years old, and you can tell it was really nice at one point, but has been somewhat neglected over the past few years. This is definitely one of the smaller, less popular MD State parks, and that shows in the lack of maintenance and updating of some facilities. Nevertheless, if you're looking for a place to just hang out, camp and fish, and don't need any bells or whistles, this could be a good option. - Jenventola

This is a little known gem in the Maryland State Park system. Very quiet and shady sites. Extremely clean. Easy access to dump station on way out of campground. All sites had a fire ring, picnic table, and large "patio" area adjacent to the site. Most sites are wide without trees obstructing back-in access, though there is PLENTY of shade. Multiple overflow parking areas available if needed, but we were able to fit camper, meg-cab dually and a 2nd vehicle within our site. Reservation website lists 30' max, but we found 8 sites we could easily fit our 43' triple axle triple slide 13'6" tall 5th wheel on. We were also able to maneuver on interior roads without issue. Short walk to the marina, historical museum, fantastic playground and new nature center. Wonderful shaded walking/hiking paths. Easy access to DC for those wanting to see the sights in the Capital. - User3193

This is a really nice park with plenty to do and see. Maybe a little too "woodsy". Sites are a little small but there is plenty of space between them. For a state park, I would have expected better trails. With the river so close, fishing and boating is very popular here. There is even a museum in the park. - tonymaldonado

According to the rating I gave this RV park, you can see I wasn't too impressed. Let me first say that Andrews AFB is the President's Flagship Base as Air Force 1 is housed here and all the officers and personnel that keep everything in Presidential order. This FamCamp is an embarrassment to the base - in my opinion. It is old and apparently suppose to be upgraded but it is obvious that no work has been done to make improvements even though areas are roped off and those areas are totally unkempt with tall grass and neglected. The area that is being used is mowed where the RV's park, but the center section is growing wild. It is overgrown as close as 4' from the back of the RV and full of no-see-ums and jiggers. There is only 30 amp available. We have a 50 amp unit and have used 30 amp many times without problems. We simply use one a/c. In this park, 30 amp may as well have been plugging our RV into a household plug. If I ran an a/c the only other items that could be on were the LED lights. To take a shower we had to turn off the air (it was 94 while we were here), turn on the water heater and let the water get hot, take the shower then turn off the water heater and turn on the air. One thing at a time. Couldn't use the microwave or convection oven at all. And this after we had them put a new 30 amp breaker on the pole. When we first got here, the breaker kept tripping no matter what we did. The person working in the office claims I told her I had a 36' unit (I did not - that would not be to my benefit to say such a thing. We are 39') and that was the only reason she made the reservation for us. What difference 3 feet makes to the power pole is beyond me. She was very rude and argumentative. It is mostly her tone and attitude. We did not hit it off well at all. We will not be back. Although Andrews is a great place for visiting DC, I would not recommend this RV park. - jomark

we were only staying for 2 weeks but Denise squared us away and we were able to stay for 15 days! The staff was great Denise was very helpful!!!

Half of the park was closed for reconstruction, the other half was neglected. Site had concrete pad which was the most positive aspect of the park. One staff member was rude and seemed to think answering questions was not in job duties. Roads gravel, muddy and potholed, restrooms were clean but really outdated, staff seemed to think it was okay to leave mops and brooms anywhere they stopped using them.
Grass around office area trimmed and mowed, rest of areas and campsites grass was 12-18 inches tall. Grass around dog area fencing mowed, inside not mowed. Piles of limbs and leaves everywhere.
Half of park being rebuilt/upgraded to 50 amp, but placement of utilities made no sense. While a very good location for visiting Washington DC, a disappointing park. One would think that the support base for the Presidential fleet of aircraft would be a showplace in all its facilities.
Base Exchange being remodeled but open for business, commissary large. Golf course one of the best I've ever seen on a military base. - Retired Medic

This is a great value, what you pay vs what you get. The owners were super nice, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I believe all but 8 sites are for seasonal campers. The sites are back to back, grass sites between the bath house and pool. The 30 amp power was good, but did not need to run the a/c. The bath house wasn't great, but was clean. This was an amazingly friendly group of people, made us feel very welcome. I would stay here again, great waterfront location, great kayaking nearby! - SteveandAnn

When this park is empty, it looks like little more than an open field, not very inviting. But, it does fill up on the weekends, and is a VERY friendly and kid-safe place. There is a down-home party atmosphere, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this campground may not be the best fit. The pool is clean, the restrooms and showers are immaculate, and there is tons for the kids to do. We shared a power pedestal with other campers, but the 30amps was enough to power both of our AC units without a single problem. They do not have 50amp available. Wonderful church service on Sunday mornings at the pavilion. We will definitely camp here again as often as possible! - User3193

Dry camping only with dump station near camp store and fresh water spigots at restrooms. Probably a great campground for tent camping but sites for RVs are very limited. The few that are level or long enough for an RV may or may not be available when you arrive, since you can't reserve specific sites ahead of time. Roads and sites are gravel/rock/dirt. Recent rains and poor drainage left some roads very pitted and with gullies running through them. Other than that, if you want to dry camp, have a small RV, and can grab an acceptable site (park literature says #'s C1,3,4,5,8 and B1,8,9 are good for up to 30' RVs) then this is really a beautiful place. Very heavily shaded. Near beautiful little lake. Nice walking trails. Lots of activities for kids in general park area (train, carousel, ice cream shop, putt-putt and disc golf). Verizon signal strong. Over-the-air TV antenna brought in plenty of channels. - aowcarol

This is a nice, small, primarily tent campground that is well maintained by the park authority. We spent one night during Labor Day weekend and there were plenty of sites available. Everyone was tent camping. Smaller trailers could back into some campsites witout too much trouble. All sites are under trees. There are only a few lake side campsites with limited views of the lake. There's a small playground and grassy field. There are 3 fairly clean bathhouses which is plenty for this size campground. A camp store and dump station are at the cg entrance. The main park which is on the other side of the lake has Par 3 golf, mini-golf, frisbee golf, fishing, rowboat rentals, ice cream parlor, carrousel, small train rides, and a good hiking/biking/fitness trail. Private canoes and kayaks are allowed, but no rentals. There is no swimming. You can get to the main park by using the trail. I was the only one who noticed a lot of night road noise from a road outside of the park. Otherwise, the campground was quiet. I'm sure we will return for a full weekend stay. - crazy4sailin

We used a Good Sam discount and paid the $5 to guarantee the site via phone. Only stayed 2 nights for a wedding in the area Sept. 8/9. Site B2 needed some leveling, was paved with nice picnic table. Our site was long enough for our 15' teardrop, but we needed to park our Ram pickup crossways, which made it very close to the loop road. Check in was quick and friendly owners. Ice available as well as propane and RV supplies. A short walk to the restrooms which were code entry, very clean and showers worked great. If we were staying in the area again, we would reserve C2 - seemed to be a little roomier and has a large shade tree. Check out the site numbers on the website and read all reviews. Pool looked nice, but we did not use. No fire ring at most sites, but you could reserve one for a nightly fee along with firewood purchase. Pretty quiet, not a lot of kids using the playground. If we would have had more time and if the weather was nicer we would have walked to the rear of the park to check out row F. We were very pleased with staying here. - Teardrop TAB320S owner

This campground is best suited for smaller RVs (32 feet and under) and people looking for convenience to DC rather than an actual parklike setting (rated "good" based on that criteria). Most sites are cramped. There are a few longer, shadier sites F12-F18 (50amp full hookup, back-in) in last row but be sure to bring leveling blocks because those sites are low in the rear. Two more rows of full hookup pull-through sites (D & E rows) but it might be a challenge to fit anything longer than 30 feet. Rows B & C are 30 amp E/W. F1-F10 (nice shade) suitable only for tents, pop-ups, or camper vans. Propane for sale near office. Over the air TV signal good. Verizon signal good. Very nice laundry room near bathhouse. Nice little pool. Tiny playground. Small dog park is a nice touch. Camp hosts were very helpful and pleasant. Definitely will return when visiting the area. - aowcarol

The Maria Island Guided Walk – Ferry Option
A trip to Tasmania would not be complete without visiting Maria Island. There are 2 options of accessing the island, by ferry or by our scenic charter flight. This tour option is our ferry option.
Maria is a peaceful and relaxing place. There are no vehicles, just beautiful scenery, plentiful wildlife and deserted beaches. To add to the beauty of the island, Maria has an intriguing history.
After the first explorers, came the whalers and sealers, and a convict station pre-dating Port Arthur. Now, Maria Island is a National Park and has recently been given World Heritage Area status.
The island has 2 parts, northern and southern. Both have distinct geographical features. There are no vehicles, shops, hotels, or is there power on Maria, so we have to be self – sufficient.
The trails that you'll walk are easy and your daypack will be light. You will explore the length and breadth of the island and there is much evidence of aboriginal and colonial occupation, farming and early industry.
The island is abundant with wildlife and plant communities. You will see wombats, wallabies, pademelons and forester kangaroos. There are over 114 bird species including the introduced Cape Barren Geese. The islands vegetation is varied and stunning.
Tour Inclusions
Your tour cost is based on joining from Hobart and includes the following:
- Spectacular 1 hour scenic charter flight over the Tasman Peninsula then landing on Maria Island and / or ferry access.
- We will supply you with a comfortable daypack, sleeping bag, liner and mattress and pillow.
- When walking your daypack including your personal gear should not exceed 11kg. If you think that you can't carry it, no problem we can carry it for you.
- All food while on the tour. All evening meals are 3 courses, consisting of some local Tasmanian produce complimented with fine Tasmanian wines.
- Highlights
- Maria Island Guided Walk
- Activity Duration
- 96 hours

Canada set to welcome more Chinese tourists
If you own a tourism business or if your business generates substantial revenue from tourists, you're surely aware that last year was a challenging year for the tourism industry. The 2009 Annual Report of the Canadian Tourism Commission indicates that tourism revenues dropped across the board compared to 2008.
Fortunately, however, the very near future may see substantial growth in the number of Chinese travellers to Canada. This past December, China agreed to grant Canada Approved Destination Status, which will make it much easier for Chinese travellers to obtain tourist visas to visit our home and native land. The agreement will also permit Chinese travel agencies to market tour group trips to Canada, and allow Canadian tourist businesses and destinations to promote themselves in China.
In light of this agreement, the Conference Board of Canada estimates that Chinese tourist visits to Canada will increase by up to 50% over the next five years, providing an incredible boost to our tourism industry.
Are you a Canadian tour operator? The Canada-China Inbound Tour Operator Accreditation Office (ITOAO) (Link no longer valid) is now accepting applications for this summer. Accreditation allows tour operators to receive groups of Chinese tourists who book their travel with approved travel agents in China.
Looking for more news and information on Canada's tourism industry? Check out the media centre and corporate website of Canada's national tourism marketing organization, the Canadian Tourism Commission.

I do hope the state paid for that without the help of any grotto or NSS money - they were begging grottos for funds a while back and I thought it would be a bad idea to contribute to it. I am certainly glad to know that my organization didn't have anything to do with that ugly thing.
Oh yea... its "bat friendly".
If they would have made it bat-unfriendly, they might save some poor bats life one day by keeping them from getting trapped behind the sump.
Sorry, and no offense to the folks who built it... just doing what the state was paying them to do, but I do not like this gate. I might have cared less if it was back in the cave a bit, but it's an eyesore where it is.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) ? The number most people associate with Justin Verlander is 20 ? as in, will he reach 20 wins? On Wednesday, the focus was 30 ? as in the 30th birthday of the Detroit Tigers' ace.
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) ? The number most people associate with Justin Verlander is 20 ? as in, will he reach 20 wins? On Wednesday, the focus was 30 ? as in the 30th birthday of the Detroit Tigers' ace.
"I have a long time left," he said. "I don't even look at it as reaching the halfway mark. I've got a lot of pitches left in me, and I don't know what it's like to be 30 since I haven't done that yet."
The 2006 AL Rookie of the Year, and 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner and MVP, finished his 20s with a 124-65 record and 3.40. He's won two AL pennants but fallen short of a World Series title each time.
Verlander can see himself pitching into his 40s. He's never sustained a serious arm injury and can still hit 100 mph on the radar.
"He's got a lot left in him, and I didn't know he was turning 30 until now," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Thirty doesn't matter if you've got the talent, and Verlander's got it."
Leyland's first memory of Verlander is from 2006, when he took over as Detroit's manager and saw a tall, gangly pitcher who had made his big league debut the previous summer.
"I saw that he could throw hard, but I didn't know anything about him," Leyland said. "I didn't know much about anyone on this team except that they hadn't been very good in a long time. Who could have known?"
In addition to going 24-5 two years ago, Verlander has compiled a 19-win season and two each of 18 and 17. He led the big leagues in strikeouts and innings in 2009, 2011 and 2012.
Gearing up for what will be his sixth straight opening-day start, at Minnesota on April 1, Verlander threw batting practice to hitters Wednesday for the first time this year and is expected to start his first exhibition game Sunday against Philadelphia in Lakeland.
He is due $20 million in each of the next two seasons as part of an $80 million, five-year contract he agreed to in January 2010. Given Felix Hernandez's new $175 million, seven-year deal with Seattle, Verlander is likely to get a raise ? especially if he becomes a free-agent after the 2014 World Series and allows high-revenue teams to bid.
"I like playing for this team," Verlander said. "Detroit is a great place to play, and I can see myself here for a long time."

You have to be sure and not use any cleaners with ammonia, since it may damage the plastic. And use only microfiber cloths to avoid scratches.
You might want to try an ammonia-free eyeglass cleaner. That should be safe.

More than discoloring, I'd be worried about scratching it up as this is VERY easy to do and will 'fog' the surface.
Take a clean 1Qt spray bottle and fill it most of the way with water, then add 2 drops (less is more here!) of Dawn & slosh back & forth to mix.
The Dawn is great as a lub + will cut thru the grease & built up vinyl evap film that is no doubt present.
Spray on a clean microfiber towel, you want it fairly wet, but not running/dripping or soaked & gently clean the plastic.
Follow with another MF towel with just plain water & another to lightly dry. If there are spots that didn't come clean, you can wipe them a little harder.
Be sure to do all this when it's cool as the plastic is more likely to scratch when hot !!
If it is scratched up (very likely on an older car) you can minimize it by applying a light coat of any good spray/liquid wax.
Again use the MF to lightly apply a sparing amount, putting the product on the towel & gently wipe off immediately after it hazes.

The Chiefs were without wide receiver Dwayne Bowe at their opening practices of training camp because he landed on the non-football illness list after coming down with a virus.
Bowe's health has improved over the weekend, though, and his absence from the field has come to an end. The NFL's official transactions list from Saturday reveals that he passed his physical and Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star reports that Bowe is in uniform and on the field with his teammates on Sunday morning.
Bowe signed a five-year extension with the team this offseason and he's expected to be their leading receiver again during the 2013 season. He's set his sights even higher than that, saying this offseason that he thought he'd wind up leading the league in catches and touchdowns as a result of playing in coach Andy Reid's offensive scheme.
That will be a tough double for Bowe to pull off, but his chances of doing it are much better if he's healthy enough to be on the field.

What the hell happened last year?
2011 zipped by in a blur of catastrophic weather, war, civil unrest and ideological battles. This week's news section gives you some of the highlights.
What will this year bring?
This much we know: The 2012 elections will consume most national media as November nears. There will be talking head saturation—and reader/viewer fatigue—as America's politicians try to hang onto their seats. It's like the Super Bowl/World Cup/World Series/NBA Finals/UFC Ultimate Ultimate Ultimate Knuckle Basher all rolled into one.
Except the election actually matters. Zing!
Or maybe it doesn't. Zing! Zing!
Either way, this thing in Iowa tonight is just the beginning.

URGENT - Create WordPress template from existing design
Orçamento $250-750 USD
For VintagePaint ([login to view URL]), I'm looking for someone to do the development of V2 of the site, based on WordPress. A major part of the functionality can be transferred from V1, so this will mostly be relatively straightforward front-end work. The information that is stated below should serve as a good introduction of the project. In case you have any question about specific functionality, please contact me directly.
This is a very urgent project, needing to be completed within 5 days (preferably faster). Due to the urgent nature, I expect to see progress early on, preferably through quick updates on Skype or directly here on Freelancer.
- Website should be responsive, and work flawlessly on mobile, tablet & various desktop sizes
- Website should be fast, and score atleast 80/100 on Google Pagespeed
- Code should be clean and well-structured
- Site should be user-friendly and easily modified through WordPress Admin
- The design of the website should resemble the PSDs as closely as possible. JPG Exports of the designs are available here:
- Site needs to have multi-region functionality. Every site will have their own domainname (eg [login to view URL] for US, [login to view URL] for Italy etc). On selection of a country in the dropdown, user will be referred to that specific site.
- All sites should be ran from one install. The difference in the sites will be language, and some small additional adjustments. For example, all dealer information should be available on all sites, but on US site, we want the default to be American Dealers, and on IT site, we want to display Italian dealers by default. This may be either powered by WordPress MultiSite or WordPress MultiLanguage.
- It has to be a custom theme, not an editted existing theme.
For additional information regarding specific pages, please see the brief in the attachment.
Exports of images are also added as attachment

The current landscape for open source library systems could be characterised as a hand full of companies, often populated by open source enthusiasts and evangelists, with a handful of staff supporting a couple of handfuls of contracts with libraries to install/enhance/support either a Koha or Evergreen system. The largest and most well known player in the sector being LibLime who say that they have "helped hundreds of libraries around the globe upgrade to open source."
The ethos of the open source community is all about sharing innovation, code, resources, and ideas for the benefit of all. The usual business model for these companies is for them to be contracted to create and locally enhance an instance of the software at a library. It is usual for any enhancements to the system that are paid for by the contracting library, to be contributed back to the source code for the benefit of the whole community.
In comparison with the rest of the library world, supported by the traditional, closed source, vendors, the open source sector is still fairly small. The question I put to the Gang this month was "Can the open source sector scale?". Will it be able to grow in it's current form to become a significant alternative to the commercial vendors?
To help Carl Grant, Frances Haugen, and Marshall Breeding kick the topic around, we were joined by Brendan A. Gallagher, CEO of ByWater Solutions.
Brendan's introduction describing how a small company operated in this market formed the basis for a wide ranging discussion. We touched on the motivations of those involved with open source systems, and whether there is a fundamental conflict between being a significant member of a community, and the operational realities of running a successful commercial organisation. When comparing the successes of the wider open source world such as Mozilla and Linux, with comparative niche of library software there were key differences around size and leadership.
Latterly we moved on to external influences such as the current economic climate, and the evolution of the ILS market place away from what are the ILS systems today. Another enlightening conversation around the virtual Gang table.

|Legislative history
The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, Pub. 238, 75th Congress, 50 Stat. 551 (Aug. 2, 1937) was a United States Act that placed a tax on the sale of cannabis. The H.R. 6385 act was drafted by Harry Anslinger and introduced by Rep. Robert L. Doughton of North Carolina, on April 14, 1937. The seventy-fifth Congress held hearings on April 27, 28, 29th, 30th, and May 4, 1937. Upon the congressional hearings confirmation, the H.R. 6385 act was redrafted as H.R. 6906 and introduced with House Report 792. The Act is now commonly referred to, using the modern spelling, as the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act. This act was overturned in 1969 in Leary v. United States, and was repealed by Congress the next year.[1]
Regulations and restrictions on the sale of cannabis sativa as a drug began as early as 1860 (see Legal history of cannabis in the United States). The head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN), Harry J. Anslinger, argued that, in the 1930s, the FBN had noticed an increase of reports of people smoking marijuana.[2] He had also, in 1935, received support from president Franklin D. Roosevelt for adoption of the Uniform State Narcotic Act, state laws that included regulations of cannabis.[3]
The total production of hemp fiber in the United States had in 1933 decreased to around 500 tons/year. Cultivation of hemp began to increase in 1934 and 1935 but production remained at very low volume compared with other fibers.[4][5][6]
Some parties have argued that the aim of the Act was to reduce the size of the hemp industry[7][8][9] largely as an effort of businessmen Andrew Mellon, Randolph Hearst, and the Du Pont family.[7][9] The same parties have argued that with the invention of the decorticator, hemp had become a very cheap substitute for the paper pulp that was used in the newspaper industry.[7][10] These parties argue that Hearst felt that this was a threat to his extensive timber holdings. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury and the wealthiest man in America, had invested heavily in the Du Pont family's new synthetic fiber, nylon, a fiber that was competing with hemp.[7] In 1916, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) chief scientists Jason L. Merrill and Lyster H. Dewey created a paper, USDA Bulletin No. 404 "Hemp Hurds as Paper-Making Material", in which they concluded that paper from the woody inner portion of the hemp stem broken into pieces, so called hemp hurds, was "favorable in comparison with those used with pulp wood".[11] Dewey and Merrill believed that hemp hurds were a suitable source for paper production. However, later research does not confirm this. The concentration of cellulose in hemp hurds is only between 32% and 38% (not 77%, a number often repeated by Jack Herer and others on the Internet).[12] Manufacture of paper with hemp as a raw material has shown that hemp lacks the qualities needed to become a major competitor to the traditional paper industry, which still uses wood or waste paper as raw material. In 2003, 95% of the hemp hurds in the EU were used for animal bedding, almost 5% were used as building material.[13] The DuPont Company and many industrial historians dispute a link between nylon and hemp. They argue that the purpose of developing the nylon was to produce a fiber that could compete with silk and rayon.[14][15][16]
The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the act because the tax was imposed on physicians prescribing cannabis, retail pharmacists selling cannabis, and medical cannabis cultivation/manufacturing. The AMA proposed that cannabis instead be added to the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act.[17] The bill was passed over the last-minute objections of the American Medical Association. Dr. William Creighton Woodward, legislative counsel for the AMA objected to the bill on the grounds that the bill had been prepared in secret without giving proper time to prepare their opposition to the bill.[18] He doubted their claims about marijuana addiction, violence, and overdosage; he further asserted that because the word Marijuana was largely unknown at the time, the medical profession did not realize they were losing cannabis. "Marijuana is not the correct term... Yet the burden of this bill is placed heavily on the doctors and pharmacists of this country." [18]
The bill was passed on the grounds of different reports[19] and hearings.[20] Anslinger also referred to the International Opium Convention that from 1928 included cannabis as a drug not a medicine, and that all states had some kind of laws against improper use of cannabis (for ex. the Uniform State Narcotic Act). Today, it is generally accepted that the hearings included incorrect, excessive or unfounded arguments.[21] By 1951, however, new justifications had emerged, and the Boggs Act that superseded the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed.[citation needed] In August 1954, the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 was enacted, and the Marihuana Tax Act was included in Subchapter A of Chapter 39 of the 1954 Code.
Operation of the act
Shortly after the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act went into effect on October 1, 1937, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Denver City police arrested Moses Baca for possession and Samuel Caldwell for dealing. Baca and Caldwell's arrest made them the first marijuana convictions under U.S. federal law for not paying the marijuana tax.[22] Judge Foster Symes sentenced Baca to 18 months and Caldwell to four years in Leavenworth Penitentiary for violating the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act.
After the Philippines fell to Japanese forces in 1942, the Department of Agriculture and the US Army urged farmers to grow fiber hemp. Tax stamps for cultivation of fiber hemp began to be issued to farmers. Without any change in the Marihuana Tax Act, Script error: No such module "convert". were cultivated with hemp between 1942 and 1945. The last commercial hemp fields were planted in Wisconsin in 1957.[23]
In 1967, President Johnson's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice opened, "The Act raises an insignificant amount of revenue and exposes an insignificant number of marijuana transactions to public view, since only a handful of people are registered under the Act. It has become, in effect, solely- a criminal law, imposing sanctions upon persons who sell, acquire, or possess marijuana."[24]
In 1969 in Leary v. United States, part of the Act was ruled to be unconstitutional as a violation of the Fifth Amendment, since a person seeking the tax stamp would have to incriminate him/herself.[25] In response the Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970.[26] The 1937 Act was repealed by the 1970 Act.
Although the spelling "marijuana" is more common in current usage, the actual spelling used in the Marihuana Tax Act is "marihuana". "Marihuana" was the spelling most commonly used in Federal Government documents at the time.
In addition, the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 legitimized the use of the term "marijuana" as a label for hemp and cannabis plants and products in the US and around the world. Prior to 1937, "marijuana" was slang; it was not included in any official dictionaries.[27] The word marijuana is probably of Mexican origin. Mexico itself had passed prohibition for export to the US in 1925, following the International Opium Convention.[28] In the years leading up to the tax act, it was in common use in the United States, "smoked like tobacco", and called "ganjah", or "ganja".[29][30] Considerable issues existed involving illegal immigration of Mexicans into the United States, and the one thing Mexicans were identified as being in possession of was cannabis or marijuana.[31] The southern border states called for action.[31] After the enactment, illegal immigrants and US citizens could be arrested for possession of cannabis.
The La Guardia Committee Report
The only authoritative voice that opposed Anslinger's campaign against cannabis was the one of the Mayor of New York Fiorello La Guardia, who appointed in 1938 a commission of investigation, and in 1944 strongly objected to Anslinger's campaign with the famous La Guardia Committee.[32]

Sea tigers, the sea going arm of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suffered a setback yesterday (19th) morning when naval commando units of the SLN engaged a flotilla of sea tiger boats near the seas off Nayaru. A total of 7 LTTE craft were observed by units of the Special Boat Squadron (SBS) who engaged them. The sea battle which started at around 6AM lasted for nearly 1.30 hours. At around 7.15AM SBS units observed two LTTE boats going up in flames. Another sea tiger craft was damaged and this is when the tigers decided to flee. Two Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) MI-24 gunships were deployed to pursue and attack the fleeing LTTE craft. No exact LTTE casualty details are available. Naval units did not suffer any casualties.
Meanwhile at around 9AM yesterday (18th), a group of LTTE cadres towing two large sized sea tiger craft towards the coast were again attacked by the SLAF. Although no exact LTTE casualty details are reported, pilots confirmed accurate hits on the target.
In other news both parties have suffered heavy casualties in battles that raged during the past week. Nearly 30 SLA soldiers have been killed and around 100 more have been wounded in fighting in National front (Muhamalai/Kilali) and Mankulam in the last 4 days alone. The tigers too have lost a number of their experienced fighters however exact LTTE casualty figures are not available as of now.

The Bucket List
In lieu of Eric's terminal prognosis in the summer of 2009, he put together a "bucket list" of things he wanted to do with the time he had left. Miraculously, after an experimental drug regimen in the fall of 2009, Eric was brought back into remission from AML for the 3rd time in the last 7 years. The terminal prognosis, at least this particular one, was incorrect...Eric had defeated his cancer once again.
UPDATE (03/24/2012): Eric and his wife Cari receive a phone call informing them that the bone marrow transplant that Eric received has failed and that they need to come talk with the oncologists about "quality of life versus quantity of life." With the failed transplant, Eric's chances of being cured are gone.
UPDATE (04/26/2012): Eric has beaten cancer for the 6th time - this time in his brain. However, it is the leukemia that exists in the rest of his body defines the terminal prognosis. Despite oncologists making suggestions to cease treatment, Eric fights on. This 7th occurrence is the final battle. Please keep Eric in your prayers as he faces down his cancer one last time.

To the right is a picture of Eric, Cari, Mike, and Mike's two friends Jacek and Nate wearing their LIFE shirts at the Statue of Liberty. :)
|#14 - Go Fishing on Lake Michigan
|In the summer of 2009, Eric wanted to do some hardcore fishing on Lake Michigan but was never able to because the weather never seemed to cooperate. But on Saturday August 21, 2010 - Craig Rysticken took out Eric, Mike, and Lindsey McLean out on his boat on Lake Michigan. The water was warm so many fishermen weren't even getting a single bite. But we caught 5 king salmon out there! What an awesome day. Thank you Craig!!
#15 - Meet the Green Bay Packers
On June 10th, 2011, Eric and Cari were invited to attend the Greg Jennings 4th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament! Please click HERE to read all about it!
#16 - Get Married!
On July 16th, 2011, Cari Lynn Jaeger and Eric James McLean exchanged vows to spend the rest of their lives together!
#17 - Eat a Big Mac
I gave this one some thought and realized that I have never ever eaten a Big Mac before. I had to see what the hype was all about and McDonald's definitely did not disappoint. Great sandwich!
