Activities reported for World Wetlands Day 1999
Report on World Wetlands Day activities in Hungary
The National Ramsar Administrative Authority (Ministry for Environment, Authority for Nature Conservation) has organised an expert meeting along with a press conference on 2nd of February, 1999 in Budapest, for celebration of World Wetlands Day. All relevant national governmental organisations, scientific institutions, research centres, NGOs, and representatives of the media have been invited to the meeting. Some 80 participants attended the programme, from Water Management Authorities, Ministry of Telecommunication, Transport and Water Management, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Universities of Budapest, Szeged, Debrecen, and Pécs, as well as non-governmental organisations and of course the Ministry for Environment.
The morning session was formally opened by Dr. János Tardy, deputy state secretary, who outlined the present status of Hungarian wetlands, summarising the achievements of the nature conservation measures both on international and national level that were taken to improve their conditions for survival. Special emphasis was laid on international and national requirements concerning wetlands by Dr. Tardy, who finally expressed his deep appreciation for the remarkable achievements of the Ramsar Convention for wetland conservation.
Keynote presentation was held by Dr. György Dévai, President of the National Ramsar Committee on ecological determination of wetlands. Before lunch break Mihály Végh (Representative of East Europe in STRP) reported on the status of the criteria for identification of wetlands of international importance.
The press conference was held in the break. Representatives of the Hungarian radio as well as daily newspapers were present.
In the afternoon session the national park directorates gave account of their efforts in wetland restoration at Ramsar sites as well as other wetlands. This issue is a top priority and plans, maps, and colour slides were presented on these activities. Several projects have been financed by international or bilateral funds, which was underlined.
Finally, the new Ramsar logo was introduced to the participants and the media.
Joining to the main activities of WWD, BirdLife Hungary organised an event on 6th of February. This event was held at Öreg-tó, Tata Ramsar Site including early morning birdwatching and the inauguration of a birdwatching tower. Representatives of central and local governments, research institutes and non-governmental organisations participated as well as local inhabitants, schools on the event.

Military publication Stars and Stripes says the Army is tightening up rules when it comes to ink under the skin. Military families are split on whether new regulations on tattoos are good for the Army image or too restrictive.
"We do a lot of free work for the military because, you know, they deserve it," said James Phillips of Dancing Dragon Tattoo in Oak Grove. "They're the reason we're free."
Phillips said his business of 30 years owes a lot to the Army post across the street.
"If Fort Campbell left, this place would go poof and blow away," said Phillips.
In recent weeks, Phillips said the buzz in his shop has often turned to the new regulations for his soldier clientele.
"There's nothing you can do about it," said Phillips. "You just go with the flow. That's all you can do. You can't fight Uncle Sugar."
According to the report in Stars and Stripes, a policy is coming saying new U.S. Army recruits will not be allowed to get tattoos below their elbows and knees or above their necklines.
"It doesn't look good to get tattoos on your hands and on your neck," said Phillips. "It looks gangish, according to the military. They're trying to clean up their act a little bit."
"Someone served their country, there shouldn't be any regulations at all," said soldier family member Nick Hooper, speaking from downtown Clarksville. "It's pretty much their civic duty if they want to do it or not. We have the right to do with our body what we want."
Phillips said during a time of Army downsizing, he believes many of the regulars to take a seat at his shop will be following the new regulations.
"You have the hardcore people who are military, and they want to stay in there, they're going to play by the rules," said Phillips. "Yes, it's going to affect our bottom line because the areas they're leaving for them are a little more painful than the forearm. The chest and the sides are painful areas. The tattoos will be a little smaller, and there will be fewer of them. We've always survived, and we'll survive again."
According to Stars and Stripes, soldiers already in service will be allowed to keep tattoos that violate the new regulations. New recruits will be forced to pay for the removal of tattoos that don't fit the regulations. Tattoos that are considered sexist, racist, or extremist are currently banned under the Army's policy.

iCloud: Troubleshooting creating an iCloud backup
Learn more about how to troubleshoot issues that might occur when you create an iCloud backup.
How do I make sure that my iOS device is backed up regularly?
To set your iOS device to back up automatically, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and turn on iCloud Backup. When iCloud Backup is turned on, iCloud automatically backs up your iOS device daily. This daily backup can occur only when the device meets all of these conditions:
- The device is connected to a power source.
- The device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
- The device's screen is locked.
To back up your device manually:
- Connect the device to a power source and make sure that you are also connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
- Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and tap Back Up Now.
I can't back up because there's not enough storage available.
If your iCloud storage reaches its maximum capacity, you can take any of the following actions:
- Purchase more storage.
- Create a smaller backup. Tips for creating a smaller backup:
- Select which apps to back up. Include only the apps that contain important data.
- Reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup by deleting unwanted photos and videos before backing up. Optionally save the photos and videos to your computer before deleting them.
- Turn off backup for Camera Roll, especially if you already back up your Camera Roll to your computer. (Your iCloud Photo Stream is not a backup of your Camera Roll.)
- Delete old messages from your device, especially messages with attachments. To delete a message, swipe over it, then tap Delete.
- Delete items that you no longer need from iCloud, optionally saving them to your computer before deleting them. For example, you can:
- Delete old backups, such as backups for devices you no longer have.
- Delete app data or documents.
- Delete old email messages, especially messages with attachments.
Why is my backup larger than what I see is being backed up?
When managing your storage, you may notice a difference between the size of your backup and the amount of total data that your device appears to be backing up. That's because some apps that come with iOS back up data to iCloud, but do not appear under Backup Options on your device. For example, Voice Memos and Messages (especially messages with attachments) add to the size of your backup. Follow these steps if you want to save Message attachments or voice memos to your computer before deleting them from your device:
- Tap the image or video to open it, tap the Share button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
- Save your Camera Roll to your computer.
- Delete the image or video from your Camera Roll, then delete the message or message attachment from Messages.
Voice Memos
- Connect your device to your computer.
- In iTunes, select the device in the sidebar.
- Select the Music tab.
- Select Sync Music, and click Apply. Your Voice Memos will be saved as a playlist in your iTunes library.
I received a message saying I'm about to run out of storage, but my device shows there is plenty of storage.
There's a difference between how much storage you have on your iOS device and how much storage you have in iCloud.
- To see the amount of storage that is currently available on your device, go to Settings > General > Usage.
- To see the amount of iCloud storage that is currently available to you, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Where can I learn more about a message I received when my device was backing up?
To learn more about messages that may appear when your device is trying to back up, see Understanding Backup alert messages.
If you have trouble remembering the text of any message you receive, you can take a screenshot on your iOS device. Press the Home and Lock buttons to save an image of the current screen to your Camera Roll or Photo Library.
My backup is taking a long time to finish.
Backing up and restoring takes time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your backup and the speed of your network, you may need more time than expected to complete the process. Using a reliable connection when backing up your device is highly recommended.
Learn more
- Learn what data iCloud backs up.
- Learn how to back up your iOS device to iCloud.
- Learn how to restore your iOS device from iCloud.
- If you are having trouble restoring an iCloud backup, see iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup.
If you haven't backed up your iOS device to iCloud for 180 days or longer, Apple reserves the right to delete the backups associated with that device. Review the iCloud Terms and Conditions for more information.

When we tweeted that we were about to interview Emmy-winning Peter Buffett, the musician-composer-author who is the youngest son of billionaire Warren Buffett, a wag quickly posted in joking response,"Will you ask him if he would like to be my sugar daddy?"
Not only has the younger Buffett been happily married to his wife Jennifer Buffett since 1996, but the "sugar daddy" mentality is about as far from the Buffett family ethos as the moon is from Omaha. (In the current issue of Vanity Fair, Warren Buffett is photographed picking up breakfast in the McDonald's drive-through.)
"I was never handed a big check," Peter Buffett said during the telephone interview. "I was just told, 'figure it out.' "
He's managed to do pretty well for himself. He worked on part of the "Dances with Wolves" film score, which won an Academy Award. His score for a documentary about Wisconsin won a best-soundtrack Emmy. His many projects include a collaboration with Atlanta-based rapper Akon, which resulted in the social-action site Is There Something I Can Do?
"Akon heard a song of mine that I wrote when I came back from Liberia on a foundation trip," Buffett said. "He certainly didn't want to collaborate with me because he thought it would further his career!"
The two might be about to connect this weekend, when Buffett will be in town for a performance benefiting the Atlanta Girls' School. "Life Is What You Make It: A Concert & Conversation,"is planned for 3 p.m. Sunday at Atlanta Symphony Hall. Tickets are $35 for adults and $15 for students and the event benefits the Atlanta Girls' School. For tickets call 404-733-5000 or see http://bit.ly/AGSPBuffett.
Buffett's career began in music but he made the transition to author-speaker performer when his affable personality inspired someone to suggest that he branch out.
"You're Warren Buffet's son – but you're so normal!" was the revelation. When your dad's one of the richest people on the planet, naturally people are going to have "assumptions about the way I grew up," Buffett said. This got him putting his thoughts together about "growing up normal, and how to get your kids to be motivated to have their own life," which resulted in the book "Life Is What You Make It: Find Your Own Path to Fulfillment."
In the book he spends time talking about philanthropy, and loves talking to young people who come to his appearances. His message to them: be grateful, and get moving.
"All of it goes back to what is privilege, and what is success," Buffett said. "I grew up in a house in the Midwest with parents who loved me and said, 'You can do anything you want.' That didn't mean they were going to write a check for it."

A man hurt in the deadliest drunk driving case in American History is speaking out about a confession that's been seen by millions.
Harold Dennis, a survivor of the Carrollton Bus Crash in 1988, said he respects Matthew Cordle for owning up to his mistakes.
Cordle admitted to causing a deadly crash after a night of heavy drinking and he posted that confession online.
Today in Columbus, Ohio Cordle pleaded not guilty, which his attorney said is just a procedural move. Cordle is still expected to plead guilty later after a judge is assigned.
Dennis said he had to watch Cordle's confession video a few times to let it soak in.
"And then I began to realize it doesn't matter his sincerity," Dennis said. "Don't attempt to judge him and ask why what his motive is... just take it for face value and listen to what he is saying."
Dennis said he's been hoping for the same kind of apology for years from Larry Mahoney, the drunk driver who went the wrong way down I-71 and caused the Carrollton Bus Crash.
"You know people can say that he tried to get a lesser sentence, its a ploy, he's trying to tug on the heartstrings of people and trying to gain some sympathy," Dennis said about Cordle's online confession. "But if you watch the video in its entirety, with an open mind, I think it has a very clear message."

Girl Scout holds Safety Awareness Day, earns Gold Award
KLEIN, Texas (March 23, 2010) – Girl Scout Senior Cheryl K. held a Safety Awareness Day for children, including learning first aid and self-defense to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"Because I was out of my comfort zone, I have learned that I need to push myself a little harder," says Cheryl, a senior at Klein High School.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because I had previously taken self defense courses and enjoyed it so much that I felt the community should learn it too," explains Cheryl.
As part of the project, Cheryl recruited volunteers to help her teach first aid and self defense skills, including a Harris County police officer. As an entrance fee, Cheryl collected canned goods for Northwest Assistance Ministries.
"I've seen Cheryl grow with confidence and realize that anything can be done with hard work," says Jeffery K., Cheryl's father.
As an active member of Girl Scouts, Cheryl has also earned her Bronze Award. At Klein High School, she is a member of PALS, Future Teachers of America, choir and National Honor Society. Following graduation, Cheryl plans to attend Tomball Community College.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Rihanna and Chris Brown celebrated their buzzed-about Grammy PDA-fest by hitting up a Hollywood club last night, and apparently smoking up a storm!
The obviously-fully-reconciled-and-dating-duo dropped by Supperclub for a private party ... one in which the entire place was filled with pot smoke.
We don't know what they were smoking, of course, but both have made their fondness for marijuana clear ... and there's no way that club allows cigarettes.
They were then driving away from the club with Rihanna in the passenger seat at around 3:20 a.m. No paparazzi-related car crash reported this time.
Check out more pics of Chris Brown and Rihanna from the Grammy Awards:

Is your Borders gift card still good?
The bookseller declares bankruptcy but says it will honor its gift cards. However, it might be prudent to redeem them soon.
This post comes from Lynn Mucken of MSN Money.
What's the gift that never starts giving? A gift card from a company that declares bankruptcy or, worse, goes under.
Bookseller Borders has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as expected. The chain, which operates more than 650 stores and employs 19,000 people, announced it plans to close one-third of its stores and concentrate on its e-book operations.
Borders said it will continue to honor its gift cards, both online and even at stores targeted for closure. Still, millions of dollars in unredeemed gift cards could be in danger if the company changes that policy.
So it's probably wise to use up those dollars as soon as possible, and encourage those who received Borders cards from you to do the same. Post continues after video.
According to MyBankTracker, when Sharper Image filed Chapter 11 in 2008, it temporarily suspended acceptance of its gift cards, then later offered cardholders the option of receiving a one-time 25% discount on card value at rival retailer Brookstone, or filing proof of their claim with the bankruptcy court -- where it would be one of the last debts satisfied. All told, there was a combined $20 million loss in gift cards through the bankruptcy filing, according to InsWeb, an online insurance marketplace.
On the other hand, customers holding gift cards for Circuit City, which liquidated in Chapter 11 in 2008, were allowed to redeem the full value of their gift cards during the company's liquidation sales.
Once considered one of the nation's best booksellers, Borders was late jumping into e-books and faltered as the economy and its brick-and-mortar business model crumbled. Industry watchers note that the company, which was founded as a used-book store in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1971, has been churning its top management in recent years and has made poor decisions on store locations.
Add to that other mistakes and bankruptcy became inevitable -- "outsourcing its e-book business to arch-competitor Amazon.com for years; a costly overseas expansion; and an expensive stock buyback program that rewarded shareholders but left the company low on cash as changes in book buying behavior mounted," The Washington Post summarized.
Company president Mike Edward said the bankruptcy will allow Borders to restructure its debt. Near the end of December, it had liabilities of $1.29 billion and assets of $1.28 billion, according to Reuters. The 200 stores it plans to close are taking a $2 million-a-week toll on profits, the company says.
Can Borders become a contender again in the rapidly evolving book market? "The move gives Borders room to breathe and cut its debt, but unless the company can regroup in a hurry, it may never regain prominence," Dave Rosenthal wrote at The Baltimore Sun's Read Street blog. "… As more and more folks buy e-readers, that market will increase rapidly, and Borders will be missed less and less."

LEWISBURG, Pa. - The number of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina who have been enrolled as visiting students at Bucknell University reached 20 late Wednesday and may edge slightly higher by the Friday, Sept. 9, deadline for registration.
According to Kurt Thiede, vice president for enrollment management and communications, another 22 students from the hurricane-ravaged area have been offered an opportunity to attend Bucknell and the university is waiting for their final response.
The new students continue to arrive on campus and most are finding themselves in classrooms within hours of their arrival. Two students moved in on Wednesday and another two are scheduled to arrive today or Friday. The total includes 12 women and eight men.
To date, nearly 60 students have directed inquiries to Bucknell about continuing their fall studies at the Lewisburg campus. Most of the visiting students had been enrolled at Tulane University in New Orleans. Tulane has officially cancelled its fall semester.
Meantime, campus fundraising efforts for American Red Cross hurricane relief continue. Bucknell Dining plans a special $5.25 buffet luncheon Friday, Sept. 9, in the Refectory featuring Cajun, Creole and Southern cuisine. Money donations for the Red Cross will be collected.
The Bison Chips, the all-male a cappella group, are donating proceeds from sales of their CDs at www.cdbaby.com to the Red Cross disaster relief fund. Sigma Alpha Mu plans a pizza social Saturday, Sept. 10, to welcome the new students to campus.

Dr. Nazanin Narani's Ratings
I was referred by my dentist for dental implants. Dr. Narani explained to me many options. She even offered cheaper options that could be done by my dentist that explained to me how honest she was. She proved herself to me as knowledgeable and honest. Her staff also helped me to find my insurance options. They were very friendly and generous.

A very bad experience for me... After listening to her staff meanly gossip for 20 minutes in her waiting room before I was put in another room to wait. I found she was not willing to offer sound advice and felt like the whole procedure was a cash grab. Then after having a CT scan (I was not covered for) on her advice, I had to contact HER a month later to hear about the results. Finally, the secretary called me back a week later only to let me know the procedure could not be guaranteed but that Narani would do it... in other words take my money. After asking the secretary some specific questions, she responded, "she wasn't a dentist", I asked if the doctor could call me back to answer these questions. The secretary responded, she doubted she would call me back!!! I decided to find a doctor that would answer two questions I had and that would take 5 minutes out of her time to get back to me. I will never go back there again. Lesson learned the hard way.

I went there for a dental implant and as a second opinion to my dentist, because one of my friend's suggested me to do my implant by a dental specialist not a general dentist. The difference in examination process and depth of knowledge was clear even in the first session. The treatment after was very effective and fine. The price was not even higher. However, the doctor suggested crown lengthening that I trust it was an honest suggestion. For this type of surgery, no one wants an implant that is not supported properly. After seeing a couple of other people with complications with their implants done by general dentists, I am confident that I made the right choice to go to a specialist.

I needed some gum grafts and I was very reluctant to get treatment because of horror stories I had heard from some friends and co-workers. My dentist referred me to Dr. Narani's office. I had great experience. She was very professional and caring and her staff were very helpful. Everything went smoothly and the results are very good. I am glad I had it done.

This Dentist is very rude to her staff, I was in the waiting room and could hear her scolding a staff member loud and clear it was very uncomfortable...I also have heard through a friend in the field that knew someone who worked there last year that this dentist is not good to work for she scams and cheats her staff wherever she can apparently so I wonder what she cheats on patients if she cheats her own staff! Office is also very outdated..I'm finding a more professional specialist to get my implant done.

I had gum surgery done in January of this year. I was really nervous as I had heard that it was very painful. It was not painful at all!! I had it done on both sides of my mouth. I had some discomfort but no pain. I was given a prescription for pain killers after but did not need to take them. I would recommend Dr. Narani if you need any sort of surgery done. I was pleasantly surprised!! Gums have healed nicely and all is well.

Great experience. I went there for a second opinion and the way that she explained my options was very informative, honest, and convincing. Booked my surgery with her and it was comfortable and fast healing.

Had gum grafts done and it was the worst experience. Very painful and had to take a week off work. Was told I would beable to be back to work the next day. Had extreme pain and went back for a checkup and was treated like I was wasting their time. Grafts look horrible. Since then I had gum grafts done by a Periodontist and it was a great outcome. Would recommend you checkout the procedure as there are different procedures and this one is not the best.

I went to her office for dental implants. She explained to me that I was not a good candidate and explained to me that implants will likely fail because of my bone conditions. I did not listen, and went to another doctor who did the implants that failed. I wish I had listened to her. Since then I always visit Dr. Narani as I trust her and know that her patients well-being is more important to her than financial gains. She is a great doctor. I highly recommend you check her before you do any major dental surgery.

I was referred to Dr Narani for periodontics work. I horrified of dentists and she prescribed ativan to help me. The procedure went smoothly. Dr Narani and her assistant are very gentle. If you're like me with high anxiety, I HIGHLY recommend her!! All her staff are very professional, polite and very punctual. As soon as I walked in for my 10:30, Dr Narani was ready for me.

To find out if you qualify for up to $30,000 in relocation assistance, Click Here
Chances are, you or someone you know is facing the possibility of foreclosure. But you need to understand that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
Today, 1 out of every 6 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it's important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged.
That's where we come in. Through the years, we've assisted many people in avoiding foreclosure. As an ADVOCATE for homeowners in distress, we provide information on loan modification programs, government backed relocation assistance programs, negotiate successful shortsales, negotiate deed in lieu, etc.
We understand the stress you are dealing with as you battle this economic crisis. We do not make judgements about your financial decisions, and are simply here to help you find a path to a brighter future by avoiding foreclosure.
If you are behind on your mortgage payment or anticipate that you will be in the near future, we encourage you to learn about all of the options available to you. As your ADVOCATE, our goal is to help you determine which option is best for you. All of our services are free to you the homeowner. Please contact us today for a free, no-obligation consultation to determine your best option. We urge you to act now, do not ignore the problem!
In brief, a Short Sale is when a lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed on a mortgage in order for a property to be sold. In addition to being "underwater" on their mortgage, the seller must have a verifiable hardship that is accepted by the lender, must have a monthly shortfall on income and thirdly, be financially insolvent.
The video below describes a short sale.
The Short Sale process has improved dramatically since April 5, 2010. That is when the US Treasury implemented the HAFA Short Sale program. Up until that date, the Short Sale process was not standardized, and thus led to much confusion and delays, so Short Sales had the reputation of taking forever to close and often not reaching the closing table. There has been a marked improvement in how quickly deals close, and indeed participating lenders may be penalized if they do not adhere to these stringent timelines. If you are a buyer and had been conditioned to avoid Short Sales, you may want to reconsider as deals now close much faster than before and there are some excellent values on offer.
As your ADVOCATE, we will help you determine if you are a good candidate for a Short Sale. Watch this video for a brief overview of the requirements.

Defense attorneys for George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch leader accused of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, have been granted a request to obtain a deposition from a witness who says she was on the phone with the teenager before he was killed.
Zimmerman's lead attorney, Mark O'Mara, presented a motion to the judge on Friday asking to question the woman known as Witness 8. Described as a friend of Trayvon, 17, she originally recounted the conversation she had with him to attorney Benjamin Crump in a recorded phone interview. Crump is representing Trayvon's parents.
O'Mara also wanted a deposition from Crump regarding that interview, but Judge Debra Nelson denied that request.
"Nothing they presented indicates they need to get this information from him, when they can get it from people with direct knowledge," argued Crump's attorney, Bruce Blackwell.
Blackwell said the justice system has to protect an attorney's right to gather information from clients and witnesses, and Crump's opinions will not be part of the trial. "Opinion is not evidence. Opinion is not relevant. Opinion is not material," he said. "What is material in this case is Witness number 8 and what she says."
Crump has previously submitted an affidavit, citing a formal deposition could jeopardize attorney-client privilege.
Judge Nelson is looking ahead to Zimmerman's June trial. She has said that she wants 100 potential jurors lined up each day during jury selection, to make sure they can easily seat a jury.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

Ken Reynhout:
My late uncle, William Woolfolk, was one of the behind-the-scenes original authors and creators of Captain Marvel. He told me that he invented the phrase "Holy Moley," but did not mention how he came up with it. It even made it into his obituary: http://articles.latimes.com/2003/aug/10/local/me-woolfolk10
Grandpa Chet Cox:
Per C. C. Beck, Bill Parker did reference "the food of the gods," and the first suggestions of the character – which was actually going to be a full team of heroes, each one with one of the powers of one of the ancient gods. Evidently, the editors of the time wanted to have only ONE hero (to compete with Superman) and Parker redesigned his original proposal.
And then went back to what he considered "real writing" — Mechanix Illustrated.
*jeep! & God Bless!
Colin W:
The last grand prior of the Knights Templar was named Jacques de Molay. Admittedly this sounds flaky, but is it possible that partisans of the order used holy moley to identify each other after he was burned at the stake and the order abolished?
John Wolff:
For fun, see Mad Magazine's "Captain Marble." His magic word was SHAZOOM. The only part I remember was the "OO" which was the strength of an ox and the strength of another ox. Also see Flesh Garden and others.

A recent press release from the Icynene Corp. announced the release of a new open-cell spray foam, Icynene Classic Max, that has been tested and approved by the ICC-ES for residential use without an added ignition barrier. That's not an entirely new development, since several open-cell foams on the market have already earned approval for the same use. But as that product category continues to grow, it's worth considering what ignition barriers are designed to do, and how the new non-barrier foams fit into the picture.
Thermal barriers vs. ignition barriers. All polyurethane spray foams require a code-approved thermal barrier—ordinarily a layer of ½" drywall—between the foam and the living space. The thermal barrier is designed to make it more difficult for a fire inside the living space to gain access to the fresh source of fuel in the spray foam, leaving the home's occupants with more time to escape.
Ignition barriers, on the other hand, are required in foam-insulated attics, crawlspaces, and other areas with limited access that can't be used as living space. They offer a lower order of protection, and are intended simply to prevent a possible flame source from making direct contact with the foam. The IRC lists six prescriptive ignition-barrier materials: 1 ½" mineral fiber insulation; ¼ wood structural panels, such as plywood; 3/8" particleboard; ¼" hardboard; 3/8" gypsum board; and corrosion-resistant steel with a base-metal thickness of 0.016 inch or more. Apply any of these materials over the foam in areas where an ignition barrier is required, and you've met code.
Intumescent coatings and bare foam. These sorts of barrier materials take time and effort to apply—especially when you're lying on your side in a low crawlspace or sealed attic. In many cases, it's difficult or impossible to fit full-sized pieces of sheet material into such spaces to begin with.
Fortunately, prescriptive ignition barriers aren't the only route to compliance. Spray foam can also be protected with an intumescent coating, which is applied like paint and bubbles up when exposed to heat, forming a flame-resistant barrier layer. Unlike prescriptive ignition barriers, though, such coatings must earn code approval on a case-by-case basis by passing a burn test—ACC 377, appendix X, also known ast the modified NFPA 286 test--administered by the ICC-ES. Virtually all spray-foam manufacturers now offer products that qualify for attic or crawlspace use when combined with an appropriate coating material.
In 2008, when the modified 286 test was under development, it was widely assumed that only foams with intumescent coatings would achieve a passing score. That turned out not to be the case. Subsequent tests revealed that most closed-cell foams pass the burn test with no protective coating at all. Because their lower densities, open-cell foams tend to be easier to ignite—as it's easier to kindle a fire with pine than with hardwood—but a few reformulated open-cell products now pass the burn test as well.
As a result, builders now have three options for attic and crawlspace use: they can combine any spray foam with a prescriptive barrier; use an approved combination of foam and intumescent coating, or choose a foam that has been tested and approved by the ICC-ES test without any protective barrier.
Making the right choice. Given that both prescriptive barriers and intumescent coatings add a layer of cost, choosing a foam approved for use without an ignition barrier might seem an obvious way to boost profits, especially where an open-cell foam is called for. But spray-foam consultant Mason Knowles notes that non-barrier foams may cost substantially more than those that require added protection, cutting into any potential savings. Knowles also points out that spray foam protected by an ignition barrier will likely provide a greater margin of safety in an actual fire situation. "The foam with a prescriptive barrier and the non-barrier foam may both meet code," he says, "but the added cost [of an ignition barrier or intumescent coating] does buy some improved performance."

Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
I am astounded at the amount of ink and paper your newspaper has devoted to the brazen attempt to foist Proposition 1 (the sales tax hike for a jail) on the citizens of this county. Do you have the character and professional ethics to publish a reasoned opinion to the contrary?
A sales tax increase will kick an already beleaguered local economy down another notch, leading to greater unemployment. Can this county afford that? I think not. The Whatcom County sheriff's office (WCSO) is the largest money pit in Whatcom County. The WCSO needs to become much more accountable for the tax revenue it already receives.
Jailing people simply does not work as a deterrent to crime. The current rate of recidivism locally is around 75 percent. Jailing people clearly does not work. For a fraction of the cost of a new jail, existing alternative punishments – penalties that work to restore dignity to offenders and make restitution to society – can be expanded many times over.
Consider work release programs, electronic home monitoring, the privately-run jail and drug court. Not only do these options address the problems at the roots, they are paid for by the participants: there is virtually no cost to the community for them. They do a much better job of rehabilitating offenders and lessen the likelihood of repeat offenses. The current sheriff and local police chiefs are all in agreement on that.
Booking restrictions and early release of offenders is a transparent scare tactic. The truth of the matter is that virtually all offenders are released early, and always have been, due to WCSO rules (time off for good behavior, trustee participation, transfers, etc.) The WCSO office still has input in determining that only the worst of the worst remain incarcerated. Deputies also have a degree of latitude when someone is arrested as to whether or not that person is booked into the jail. The essence of the situation is that the deputies seem to want to impose "curbside justice" and unilaterally book people into jail at the time of their arrest, rather than let the accused be fairly tried and subsequently sentenced if found guilty. I wholeheartedly agree that there is not room in the jail for everyone arrested to be booked and held; the current jail was never intended to provide for that.
The current jail is barely 20 years old. It was built solidly and securely at that time (there has never been an escape from the secure area of the jail, except for clerical error). I cannot be convinced that it is on the verge of being condemned. This is another scare tactic.
Construction of a new jail somewhere out in the county would require a massive, new infrastructure to transport inmates to and from the courthouse every day. The current jail is attached to the courthouse and WCSO: convenient for everyone. Increased security concerns, traffic and ancillary costs make the proposal for a new jail untenable. Look for future propositions to pay for that aspect of a new jail, if this sales tax increase is passed.
Finally, a sales tax increase is a permanent hike. Long after you have stopped paying taxes, your children will be paying for this folly. The only way to stop it is to vote no on November 2. I urge you to do so.
A. Jinqstra
The Editor:
I remember when the sales tax was three percent in this state, now it is 8.2 percent and our elected officials want to raise it to 9.3 percent. Your property tax is obscene and will go higher because of the crazy house prices. What is our state and county governments doing with all that money?
They are asking for 0.1 percent more, for a Taj Mahal jail. Let's put the drunks, dope heads and petty criminals in a Stalag 17-type camp. We should learn something from Arizona, where sheriff Joe Arpaio has created a tent city jail surrounded by barbed wire. He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
The one percent sales tax increase for education is another waste. The state is already eighth highest in the nation for funding education. The tax will raise one billion dollars per year, most of which will be wasted except for teacher salaries. They ask for smaller class sizes, but look at Japan with 40 plus students per class and their great results.
You see the high tax results of all these increases. They want more and more and will never stop. Only you can stop them!

The Editor:
Mac Setter has claimed Chuck Snyder doesn't have jury trial experience and this makes Setter a better candidate. However, it should be stated that only 35 of the 1,700 felonies filed in the superior court of Whatcom County went to a jury trial last year. In 2003, there were only a total of 50 criminal and civil jury trials. Court administrator statistics show 60 percent of filings in Superior Court are for civil cases. Judges hear pleas, sentencings, motions and suppression hearings more often than jury trials.
I believe Setter's years in the prosecutor's office may have afforded him jury trial experience but we need a judge with a breadth of experience. Chuck Snyder has this breadth of experience and it is not true that he doesn't have jury trial experience. He presided over jury trials in juvenile court, as a District Court commissioner and tried jury trials in Superior Court as a practicing attorney. Chuck brings more diverse experience to our courts and is the better choice for Superior Court Judge.
Donna M. Wells
John Hobberlin, candidate for 42 District State Legislature, has been in public service all of his adult life, first as a career officer in our military, then as a school administrator and finally as a mayor of Blaine for eight years. These experiences have forged a value system that treasures character, honesty and hard work. He has learned that strength is in the local communities.
He has set several priorities for Whatcom County. First is the strengthening of our local economy by keeping current businesses and jobs here and to attract new ones. He is determined to help eliminate the red tape policies that have caused businesses to close and discouraged new businesses to locate here. John's opponent has proven, after 11 years in state government, that she does not have the answer to these problems. In fact, she has earned a failing grade from most business organizations in the state.
Secondly, John recognizes the need for medical malpractice reform. Frivolous lawsuits issued by some in the legal community continue to drive the cost of medical malpractice insurance to the point that physicians can no longer afford to stay in our communities. Kelli Linville, our current representative, has voted against allowing a medical malpractice bill out of the committee.
Finally, John supports increasing local control in our schools. He believes that teachers and parents should not have their hands tied by legislation and parents should have more control on how their children are educated.
John's sterling personal and professional experience and reputation uniquely qualifies him to be our representative from the 42nd Legislative District.

If you have a character weakness, let me help you to try to overcome it. Just contact me.

Medical/dental schools encourage academic diversity, and courses in the humanities and social sciences are an excellent way to expand your intellectual horizons. Consider exploring a wide array of study options, including:
Medical Humanities
Medical humanities include interdisciplinary courses in the theory and practice of medicine, including the organization, delivery, and financing of health care, innovations in reproductive and genetic technologies, bioethics, public health, and more. Through these courses, you gain understanding of controversial issues facing American medicine and develop skills in articulating your opinions on those issues.
Selected Courses in Biology and Neuroscience
Selected advanced biology and neuroscience courses help you develop vocabulary and understand concepts that are important in medical/dental schools, particularly during basic science training.
The advancement of medicine/dentistry hinges on an understanding of basic research. Many research opportunities are available to you in the biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology departments.
Study Abroad
Foreign travel adds immeasurably to your education. However, early planning - particularly for laboratory science courses - is necessary to avoid delaying your application to medical/dental school.

|Horseshoe Bay from the Nelly Bay to Arcadia Track, Magnetic Island, Queensland
'What goes up must come down,' she twanged, immediately identifying a) her astonishing originality and b) her country of origin.
|Magnetic Island from the mainland
How much longer they'd be together was less evident. His well worn hiker kit – 'real' hiking boots with thick socks, water backpack, old T-shirt, hat and pink zinc clearly spelled out more than one significant difference between them.
|Horseshoe Bay from the 1st Lookout, Magnetic Island
On the steepest part of the track, Pilchard and I were now feeling the effects of setting out on a 6 km hike without food or water, our towel-laden backpacks weighing us down in the tropical humidity. It was all just a simple misunderstanding! Arriving on Magnetic Island, 8 km and 20 minutes by ferry from Townsville, we planned an action-packed schedule over morning tea at the terrific Nelly Bay bakery. As you do.
|Pilchard's fine pic of Fan-tailed Cuckoo
BUT … wandering along the road from the bakery to the trail head, then winding up more steeply through the rainforest to the vantage point took longer than anticipated. Every few steps was a new bird, flower or vista to admire and/or photograph. By the time we reached the overgrown lookout, we'd already been going the best part of an hour, so it was a cinch to continue up the track in quest of a better view. We could always turn back, couldn't we??
|'Spot' the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo! Magnetic Island, Queensland
Well, they WERE 20 years younger than us. At least. Probably.
But the honeymoon couple's passing heralded a wildlife bonanza as a passing flock of Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (above) distracted me from uncharitable thoughts of maintaining white frock cleanliness. And as I neatly captured them as 'black dots' as cleverly shown in this rare 'wildlife action' shot, we reached the point of no return. The food and drink of Arcadia beckoned and we reluctantly abandoned fantasies of lunching at the Nelly Bay bakery.
|The Nelly Bay to Arcadia Track, Magnetic Island
The track headed downhill from here, but several kilometres of walking remained and I started to fantasize about bottles of cold water. Actually, make that flagons. And plunging into the sea to sluice off the dirt and sweat after flinging off my non-white (but still grubby) clothing ...
That's the only explanation I have for missing the droppings on the ground. Because if, like Pilchard, I'd seen them, I would have looked above to identify who or what was responsible. Naturally. BUT happily, wanting to
|Bottom view of Koala, Magnetic Island
Apart from a further wildlife sighting – this time 'overseas-tourist-hunting-for-the-hiking-track' – the southern descent into the suburbs of Arcadia was uneventful. Except to say if this is suburbia, bring it on!!
Oh! And also the staggering views across the strait to the mainland – and Townsville!
I didn't notice my audience until I'd come up for air – after lining up two drinks and inhaling one of the best fishburgers I've had the pleasure of from Arcadia's Butler's Pantry.
|Bush Stone-curlew in natural foraging habitat
And that swim was on the cards after all. A bus ride would shortly take us down to Horseshoe Bay – and to one of the most Scenic Public Toilets of our 2011 trip! But that's another story …

Three more state-wide sheriff associations have joined those opposed to President Obama's kitchen sink approach to gun control, raising the number to 14, or nearly one-third of the nation's statewide police organizations.
Sheriff associations in South Carolina, California and most recently Nevada joined the other states in demanding Obama to stop his gun grab and instead focus on expanding the national background check system to include far more information on the mental health status of gun buyers than it does now.
Nevada joined the growing group opposed to gun control just Monday. In their letter, provided Tuesday morning to Secrets, they also appealed to legislators to turn the focus on the mental health of those buying guns.
"We have all seen what persons who have mental illness, who are uses of illegal controlled substances, or are members of criminal gangs can do with weapons in their hands; any weapons, not just firearms. As it currently stands, many of these individuals are not entered into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for a whole variety of reasons. This must be addressed at the national, state and local levels," said the Nevada sheriffs.
But they also vowed to fight any effort to take guns from Nevadans. They wrote: "The sheriffs of the state of Nevada do not believe that the answer to this issue includes making criminals out of otherwise law-abiding individuals. As the old saying goes, 'As guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. The answer lies within a myriad of approaches including education, addressing violence, keeping firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill, criminal gang members, and illegal controlled substance users, as well as prosecuting and incarcerating those who would use firearms to commit crimes."
So far those state sheriff associations who have challenged Obama are: Nevada, South Carolina, California, Illinois, Montana, Utah, Florida, Georgia, New York, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, Wyoming and Indiana.
Their approach to gun control jives with House GOP leaders who have vowed to fight efforts to ban assault-style weapons, limit the size of magazines, expand to a universal background check system and register guns. The Obama-style approach, however, is alive in the Senate.

5 best iPad mini keyboards
Summary: You wouldn't think the small size of the iPad mini would lend itself well to supporting a keyboard but accessory makers have produced models that work well. These are the best of the lot.
12 of 14Image
ZAGG Mini 9
The folks at ZAGG have produced this case for those who just can't use keyboards the width of the iPad mini. The Mini 9 uses a keyboard the width of the bigger iPad, so the case is the biggest one in this collection.
The iPad mini snaps into the lid, which must be done carefully to ensure all of the tablet controls line up with the cutouts for proper access. There is a stand on the back of the case that props the iPad mini at a convenient angle for typing.
The ZAGG Mini 9 is a good choice for those needing a bigger keyboard than the other models in this collection. Note that ZAGG makes a 7-inch version of this case that uses a smaller keyboard the width of the iPad mini. The keys are not large as on other models in this collection and it's not included here for that reason.
Unique features:
- Fold-out stand to prop tablet
- Bigger keyboard than all others in this collection
ZAGG Mini 9 -- $44.99 from ZAGG
ZAGG Mini 9
This keyboard is as large as those made for the bigger iPad and is thus a good fit for those needing a bigger keyboard for the iPad mini.
ZAGG Mini 9
The iPad mini is supported by a stand that unfolds from the back of the case.

Khoshbin Restaurant
Tiny, no-frills Khoshbin is an institution among Tehranis, who cram onto the fast-turnover tables for an authentic Gilaki (food from the Gilan region) lunch.
Tiny, no-frills Khoshbin is an institution among Tehranis, who cram onto the fast-turnover tables for an authentic Gilaki (food from the Gilan region) lunch.
About 250m north of the train station, which is on Rah-Ahan Sq, and on the west side of Valiasr, this restored 'coffeehouse' in south Tehran is wonderfully atmospheric because it remains popular with locals, who use it as an unofficial community centre. The dizi (US$6 all up) and kashk-e bademjan (eggplant fried and mashed and served with thick whey and mint; US$3.
The bustling open kitchen and hard-working waiters attest to the popularity of this long-standing favourite. Enter from the street, descend the stairs into the basement and claim one of the large tables clad in cheerful checked tablecloths – your reward will be the best kababs in the city.
The setting at the rear of the hotel's courtyard is a delight, and while you might need to start singing to get a waiter's attention after 6pm, when locals flock here to eat ash-e reshte (noodle soup with beans and vegetables; US$4.50), it's well worth the effort.
This hidden, fabulously renovated 640-year-old former hammam oozes atmosphere with three domed chambers each more magnificent than the last. Local speciality pichag qeimeh (tender lamb, diced almonds, caramelised onions and soft-boiled egg stranded with saffron) is cooked with finesse and packed with flavour, albeit in small portions.
Hezardestan is one of Iran's most beautiful teahouse-restaurants. Carpets, samovars, antique qalyans, cushions and wooden benches are surrounded by walls adorned with scenes from Ferdosi's Shahnamah . There's live music most nights, the manager speaks fluent English and the food is pretty good including vegetarian possibilities.
This delightful neotraditional retreat lies beneath the unremarkable Delta restaurant using separate stairs from outside. Tea (US$1) comes in ceramic Lalejin pots, women can smoke qalyan on carpeted bed-seats without undue attention and the chicken 'biriyani' comes on a flaming plate.
This is a serendipitous place to find after wandering through the Bazar-e Vakil. Hidden away through a small door behind the Saray-e Moshir Bazar, the split-level teahouse has a small menu of tasty favourites (think dizi, kubideh, zereshk polo ) and a delightfully relaxed atmosphere in which to sit, eat and sip tea.
This would be the backpacker meeting place, if there were any backpackers. Excellent-value Iranian food is served in an atmospheric once-grand old hammam that's slightly gone-to-seed. Charming owner Ali Rahban looks somewhat like Dudley Moore, speaks good English and can rustle up eggplant delights for vegetarians.
Fish, fish, fish. Fresh whole fish, fish kababs, fish köfte balls in the US$3 salad bar, fishing nets on the ceiling, little aquariums between the tables and even fish-shaped souvenir pens. Standards are excellent, the enticing decor includes log-and-rope chairs and a cave-wall trickling with water. Get off a Rahnamae–Golshahr savari (US$0.50) on 35m Sina St.
In a 300-year-old domed chamber hung with ships' wheels and lanterns, the Darvish is by far Gorgan's most intriguing restaurant…if you can find it. Menus are limited but the kababs are superlatively succulent. Around 9pm most evenings there's live traditional Persian music from owner-manager Ahmad Morshe, who speaks fluent Romanian plus a little English.
You'll be in good company if you make your way here for an afternoon or after-dinner snack – locals flock to this place to get their regular fixes of fereni , with many taking containers of the sweet stuff home to make the family happy. One mouthful, and you'll immediately realise why. Look for the 'Icecream Hafez' sign and the people eating on the street.

These crafts are so very fun and easy to do with kids of all ages! My daughter, Naomi, and I had a blast, and I hope you all will too. Naomi especially approved of the use of glitter, paint, and all things pink and red!
This year, instead of going out and buying Valentine's, we created some to give away to friends and family. These cute little mice are for Naomi's preschool class. We used Hershey Kisses left over from Christmastime, and they turned out so cute! What a fun way to create and work together on something that is sure to be remembered. We even had a few leftovers, so we took them to her daddy's office, and she passed them out to his coworkers. It turned out to be a sweet Valentine's surprise for the ladies at the office, and Naomi felt so big sharing her treats with everybody.
Homemade Valentines serve as fun, unique ways to show love and care and can be keepsakes for years to come. How cute are these homemade hand and footprint cards? The handprint hearts are for my children's grandparents, and I had my daughter help me write special notes to each grandparent around the hearts. Older kids could write their very own notes to loved ones making them extra special for the occasion.
The footprint cards are for Daddy. Aren't they just precious?? I'm tempted to have them framed. Kids have so much fun creating them, painting, gluing, and glittering, and they're so much more memorable and entertaining than cards at the store!
No Valentine is complete without a little chocolate, so we've provided an easy how-to for chocolate covered pretzels. Naomi loved dipping the pretzels in the melted chocolate and covering them with sprinkles…and eating the results!
I hope you all have a fabulous Valentine's Day, and be sure to squeeze the ones you love!
Hershey Kisses Mice
What you'll need:
-yellow construction paper
-red or pink construction paper
-Hershey Kisses
-googly craft eyes
-glue stick
-pen, pencil
- Using the red or pink construction paper, make a 1-1.5" wide heart with the pencil (this heart makes the ears of the mouse, so it needs to be small enough to fit behind the Hershey Kiss). When satisfied with the heart, cut it out and trace it to make more hearts. Let children help cut out the hearts.
-Now take the yellow construction paper and create triangles to be used as the cheese that the Hershey mice sit on. Create just as many as the hearts by tracing and cutting just as you did for the hearts.
-On to the feet! Just being creative, trace out small patterns making 6 curves creating the toes of the mice. I found it easiest to make 6 loops and connect them with one straight line at the bottom for easy tracing and cutting. The Hershey Kiss sits on top of the straight side so you can't see it when finished, and only the toes stick out. Very cute!
-Now that all of the cutting is done, it's time for pasting and finishing the mice creations! This is really fun for the little ones as they are finally able to see the finished product! Carefully glue the heart to the back of the Hershey Kiss and press down. Take two little eyes and glue to the front. On a corner of the triangle, place a circle of glue, and glue the feet to the front of the circle, and place the Hershey Kiss on top leaving the toes to peek out the front. Let the glue dry, and at the very end, write (or let your children write) "Mice to know you!" on the side of the triangular "piece of cheese."
Hand and Footprint Valentine Cards:
-Help your little ones create timeless Valentine's for the ones they love! They'll love to get their hands and feet wet with this creation!
What you'll need: (Handprints)
-Pink and Red Paint
-Elmer's glue
-white construction paper
-2 small bowls or paper plates
-sponge or paintbrush
-Place a little of each paint in separate bowls. Have child place either hand in red paint or use sponge/paintbrush to paint hand. At a slight angle, place the child's hand on the paper. Paint other hand alternate color. Overlapping the thumb on the paper with the other thumb, carefully place hand down on the paper. Use the glue to form a heart around the overlapping handprints. Have your child help to sprinkle glitter until all of the glue is covered. Leave out to dry. Once dry, have your child (or help them) write sweet messages around the heart to the one they love!
What you'll need: (Footprints)
-Red paint
-Elmer's glue
-white and black construction paper
-silver pen
-Fold white paper in half longways and make the outline of half of a heart with pencil. Cut out the heart. Open heart and glue in the middle of black construction paper. Paint child's foot with red paint and carefully place down on white paper at a slight angle. Paint other foot and as placing down on paper, overlap heel with red heel already on paper. Outline the heart in glue. Have your child help sprinkle glitter on the glue until all covered. Once dry, write (or let child write) with silver marker, "From the bottom of my heart to the tips of my toes…I love you!" This is a great craft for young kids to give to parents or grandparents.
Chocolate Covered Pretzels:
-2 bags of white chocolate morsels
-1 bag of pretzel twists
-7.5-10oz Valentine sprinkles
-wax paper
-In a double boiler (or microwave-safe bowl), heat chocolates until melted (stirring occasionally). Dip pretzels halfway in chocolate dripping off excess chocolate. Using two bowls, pour sprinkles over the pretzel from one bowl to the other, alternating sides of pretzel until covered. Place on wax paper to cool. Share with friends, and enjoy!Read More From Blogs.

Updated: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 01:15:23 EST
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana GOP Rep. Vance McAllister says he's failed his family and let down his district by kissing a married female aide, but he says he'll serve out the remainder of his term.
In a statement released Monday, McAllister apologized for conduct he called a "personal failure," and said he's spent the Easter recess reconciling with his wife and children.
Gov. Bobby Jindal and other Republicans in the state welcomed the news he wouldn't be on the November ballot.
A security tape released this month showed McAllister kissing Melissa Peacock, an aide and family friend. McAllister apologized and Peacock resigned.
A businessman with no political experience, McAllister won a special election in November in part by putting his family and faith at the center of his campaign.
