The next edition of this standard is now open for Public Comment.
1.1* Scope. This standard shall apply to Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D ovens, dryers, and furnaces; thermal oxidizers; and any other heated enclosure used for processing of materials and related equipment. A.1.1 Explosions and fires in fuel-fired and electric heat utilization equipment constitute a loss potential in life, property, and production. This standard is a compilation of guidelines, rules, and methods applicable to the safe operation of this type of equipment. Conditions and regulations that are not covered in this standard — such as toxic vapors, hazardous materials, noise levels, heat stress, and local, state, and federal regulations (EPA and OSHA) — should be considered in the design and operation of furnaces. Most failures can be traced to human error. The most significant failures include inadequate training of operators, lack of proper maintenance, and improper application of equipment. Users and designers must utilize engineering skill to bring together that proper combination of controls and training necessary for the safe operation of equipment. This standard classifies furnaces as follows: (1) Class A ovens and furnaces are heat utilization equipment operating at approximately atmospheric pressure wherein there is a potential explosion or fire hazard that could be occasioned by the presence of flammable volatiles or combustible materials processed or heated in the furnace. Such flammable volatiles or combustible materials can originate from any of the following: (a) Paints, powders, inks, and adhesives from finishing processes, such as dipped, coated, sprayed, and impregnated materials (b) Substrate material (c) Wood, paper, and plastic pallets, spacers, or packaging materials (d) Polymerization or other molecular rearrangements Potentially flammable materials, such as quench oil, water-borne finishes, cooling oil, and cooking oils, that present a hazard are ventilated according to Class A standards. (2) Class B ovens and furnaces are heat utilization equipment operating at approximately atmospheric pressure wherein no flammable volatiles or combustible materials are being heated. (3) Class C ovens and furnaces are those in which there is a potential hazard due to a flammable or other special atmosphere being used for treatment of material in process. This type of furnace can use any type of heating system and includes a special atmosphere supply system(s). Also included in the Class C classification are integral quench furnaces and molten salt bath furnaces. (4) Class D furnaces are vacuum furnaces that operate at temperatures that exceed ambient to over 5000°F (2760°C) and at pressures from vacuum to several atmospheres during heating using any type of heating system. These furnaces can include the use of special processing atmospheres. During gas quenching, these furnaces can operate at pressures from below atmospheric to over a gauge pressure of 100 psi (690 kPa). 1.1.1 The terms ovens, dryers, and furnaces are used interchangeably and shall also apply to other heated enclosures used for processing of materials. 1.1.2* Within the scope of this standard, a Class A, Class B, or Class C oven is any heated enclosure operating at approximately atmospheric pressure and used for commercial and industrial processing of materials. A.1.1.2 The following types of industrial systems are generally considered to be among those covered by NFPA 86 where the fuel is covered by the standard: afterburners, ammonia dissociators, annealing furnaces, arc melting furnaces, atmosphere generators (endothermic, exothermic), autoclaves, bakery ovens, batch furnaces, bell furnaces, belt furnaces, blast furnaces, brazing furnaces, brick kilns, car-bottom kilns, casting furnaces, catalytic thermal oxidizers, cement kilns, chemical vapor deposition furnaces, crematories, crucible furnaces, cupola furnaces, drying ovens, electric arc furnaces, electron beam melters, flameless thermal oxidizers, fume incinerators, glass melting furnaces, heat treating furnaces, heating cover furnaces, indirect-fired furnaces, induction furnaces, inert-atmosphere furnaces, integral quench furnaces, kilns, lime kilns, melting kettles/pots, muffle furnaces, open hearth furnaces, ovens, oxygen-enriched furnaces, paint drying ovens, paper drying ovens, plasma melting furnaces, pusher furnaces, reduction furnaces, refining kettles, regenerative thermal oxidizers, reheat furnaces, retort furnaces, reverberatory furnaces, roasting ovens, rotary calciners, rotary dryers, rotary kilns, shaft furnaces, shaft kilns, shuttle kilns, sintering furnaces, slag furnaces, smelting furnaces, solvent atmosphere ovens, special atmosphere furnaces, sweat furnaces, textile dryers, thermal oxidizers, tube furnaces, tunnel kilns, vacuum furnaces, vaporizers, and wood-drying kilns. 1.1.3 AClassAoven shall be permitted to utilize a low-oxygen atmosphere. 1.1.4 This standard shall apply to bakery ovens and Class A ovens, in all respects, and where reference is made to ANSI Z50.1, Bakery Equipment — Safety Requirements, those requirements shall apply to bakery oven construction and safety. 1.1.5 This standard shall apply to atmosphere generators and atmosphere supply systems serving Class C furnaces and to furnaces with integral quench tanks or molten salt baths. 1.1.6* This standard shall apply to Class D ovens and furnaces operating above ambient temperatures to over 5000°F (2760°C) and at pressures normally below atmospheric to 108 torr (1.33 × 106 Pa). A.1.1.6 Vacuum furnaces generally are described as cold-wall furnaces, hot-wall furnaces, or furnaces used for casting or melting of metal at high temperatures up to 5000°F (2760°C). There can be other special types. For more detailed information on the various types of furnaces, see Table A.1.1.6. See Figure A.1.1.6(a) through Figure A.1.1.6(c) for examples of a cold-wall, horizontal, frontloading vacuum furnace; a cold-wall, induction-heated vacuum furnace; and a hot-wall, single-pumped, retort vacuum furnace.

Plasma Melting. Plasma melting is a process by which metal solids, powders, chips, and fines are consolidated into ingot or slab form. Melting is accomplished by use of an ionized gas that transfers heat from the plasma torch to the material. The gas might be oxidizing, reducing, or inert, depending on the process requirements. The temperature of the plasma gas is in excess of 3632°F (2000°C). Material consolidation might be in the form of an ingot, usually extracted from the bottom of the melt chamber, or a slab that is removed horizontally from the melt chamber. The melt chamber operating pressure might vary from 102 atmospheres to 2 atmospheres, making the process suitable for a wide variety of metals and alloys. Cleaning and refinement of the material might be accomplished by the use of hearth melting, stirring action by torch manipulation, inductive stirring coils, or vacuum/pressure cycling of the melt chamber. The melt chamber, torches, copper hearths, consolidation containment system, and power supplies are water cooled. Each water-cooled circuit is monitored for low flow and high temperature, with alarms for all circuits, power disruption for critical circuits, or both. Solid-state power supplies are utilized to provide power to the torches, which range in size from 47 Btu/hr (50 kW) for a small research unit to multiple torches of 948 Btu/hr (1000 kW) each for large production melters. The torches provide x, y, and z movements that are programmable or computer controlled. [See Figure A.1.1.6(d).] Electron-Beam (EB) Melting. Of all commercial melting techniques, electron-beam (EB) melting is capable of producing the highest refinement of end product. The beam of the electron gun can be focused to produce heat intense enough to vaporize even those metals with the highest melting points. Where combined with a vacuum atmosphere of approximately 104 torr (1.3 × 106 Pa), most impurities can be separated from the product being melted. EB melting is especially suited for refining refractory metals and highly reactive metals, but it also has applications in melting alloy steels. Commercial EB melters are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. Figure A.1.1.6(e) illustrates a vertical feed system that allows the molten metal to drop from the feed stock into a water-cooled copper retention hearth, where the molten metal is further refined by the oscillating beams of the two guns. The retention time of the metal in the hearth is controlled by adjusting the melt rate of the feedstock. The metal flows over a weir at the end of the hearth and falls into a water-cooled chill ring, where it solidifies into a billet as it is withdrawn downward from the chamber. Vaporized impurities condense on the cold inner walls of the vacuum chamber or on special collector plates that are easily removed for cleaning. Because of the intense heat needed for the melting and refining process, the vacuum chamber is usually of doublewall construction so that large quantities of cooling water can circulate through the passages of the chamber. Vacuum Arc Melting and Vacuum Arc Skull Casting. Vacuum arc melting is a high-volume production method for alloying and refining metals. Alloys can be produced by sandwiching and welding strips of different metals together to produce an electrode that, after melting, results in the desired alloy. Second and third melts are sometimes necessary to refine the alloy. Most arc melters are of the consumable electrode type; however, nonconsumable electrode melters are commercially available. Figure A.1.1.6(f) illustrates the principal components of one type of consumable electrode arc melter. In operation, dc voltage potential is established between the stinger rod, which has the electrode attached to it, and the water-cooled copper melt cup. The stinger rod is driven down until an arc is established between the electrode and a metal disk placed in the bottom of the melt cup. Once the arc has stabilized and melting begins, the voltage might be reduced, thus shortening the arc length and lessening the possibility of arcing to the water-cooled sidewall of the cup. Automatic control systems are available for controlling the arc length and melt rates. A mechanical booster pumping system provides vacuum operating levels of approximately 10-2 torr (1.3 × 10-4 Pa).Water-cooling circuits are provided for the stinger rod, head, melt cup, solid-state power supply, cables and connections, and vacuum pumping system. The vacuum arc skull caster is a variation of the vacuum arc melter, with the essential difference that, instead of melting the electrode into a copper cup and allowing the molten metal to solidify, the electrode is melted into a cold-wall copper crucible. The crucible then is tilted, allowing the molten metal to pour into a casting mold, leaving a solidified metal lining, or "skull," in the crucible. Burn-throughs into water jackets, which allow water to come in contact with hot metal, are not uncommon in arc melting. Equipment damage can be minimized by providing overpressure-relief ports, reliable cooling water sources, well designed and monitored cooling circuits, and well-trained operators. Blast protection walls are frequently installed for personnel protection. ****INSERT FIGURE HERE**** FIGURE A.1.1.6(e) Example of an Electron-Beam (EB) Melter. ****INSERT FIGURE HERE**** FIGURE A.1.1.6(f) Example of a Vacuum Arc Melter. 1.1.7 This standard shall not apply to the following: (1)*Coal or other solid fuel–firing systems A.1.1.7(1) Designing coal or other solid fuel–firing systems requires special knowledge and experience with such solid fuel systems. As an example, different types of coal (anthracite vs. sub-bituminous)—and other solid fuels such as petroleum coke, wood chips, sawdust, other biomass, and combustible dusts such as medium density fiberboard dust — can introduce significantly different hazards and require significantly different handling systems and fuel delivery systems. Solid fuels present unique burner control challenges. For example, there might be challenges selecting and arranging flame supervision devices, selecting the method of fuel preparation and delivery, and determining actions to take in an emergency shutdown. The best guidance from NFPA for coal-fired systems (pulverized or aggregate) is NFPA 85, Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code. Another resource is FM Global Property Loss Prevention Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 6-17, "Rotary Kilns and Dryers." Burning of other solid fuels is less standardized. An available resource is FM Global Property Loss Prevention Data Sheet 6-13, "Waste Fuel Fired Boilers." Coordinating this guidance into the design of an oven or furnace requires special knowledge and experience so that the solid fuel system is integrated into the overall oven or furnace system while the intent of NFPA 86 with regard to other interlock and control requirements is maintained. (2) Listed equipment with a heating system(s) that supplies a total input not exceeding 150,000 Btu/hr (44 kW) (3) Fired heaters in petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities that are designed and installed in accordance with API STD 560, Fired Heaters for General Refinery Services, 2007; API RP 556, Instrumentation and Control Systems for Fired Heaters and Steam Generators, 1997; and API RP 2001, Fire Protection in Refineries, 2005. (4)*Fluid heaters where either of the following conditions exists: (a) Fluid is flowing under pressure in tubes or pipes and is indirectly heated by combustion of liquid gas fuel or an electrical source. (b) Fluid is heated indirectly by products of combustion of liquid or gas fuel flowing through tubes (firetube). A.1.1.7(4) For information on fluid heaters, refer to NFPA87, Recommended Practice for Fluid Heaters.

Former Wellstone aide to speak, March 14
Posted March 9, 2006; 08:42 p.m.
Bill Lofy, a former aide to U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, will discuss
Wellstone's life and legacy at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 14, in 16
Robertson Hall.
The lecture is titled "Paul Wellstone: The Life of a Passionate Progressive," which also is the title of Lofy's new biography of the late Minnesota senator.
Lofy is a senior trainer and writer for Wellstone Action, a national center for training and leadership development for the progressive movement. The center was founded in January 2003, three months after Wellstone died in a plane crash while campaigning for a third term in the Senate.
Lofy worked for Wellstone for six years as an organizer, communications specialist and travel aide. In 2001, after working briefly on Wellstone's campaign, Lofy came to Princeton, where he earned an MPA degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 2003.
The lecture is sponsored by the Wilson School.

Bang Pre-Alpha
I have a new ongoing project, it's called Bang. It's a canvas-tag based display list written in Javascript. I'm going to be using it in place of AS3/Flash in my web authoring tool chain. Bang on Github. There are three main elements of Bang that make it special:
When writing a project with Bang you keep your code separated in modules. Each module exposes a Javascript Object, like a constructor function. The modules object is passed into each module definition, exposing your module to other modules that depend on it. Keeping your code in modules like this means you need only expose one global variable, the list of modules. Any modules loaded this way are essentially sandboxed in that modules object.
You define a module in a similar manner to RequireJS and the AMD:
name : 'MyObject',
dependencies : [ 'bang::Geometry/Rectangle.js', 'myLib::SomeFile.js' ],
init : function initMyObject(modules) {
function MyObject() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
MyObject.prototype = {};
MyObject.prototype.constructor = MyObject;
return MyObject;
The module system is another project of mine called Mod. I've written about it before. It's very small and simple and it gets the job done (the job of code separation and later compilation).
Bang adds support for Google's Closure Compiler to Mod, so once your project is ready to ship you can compile (in a sense), compress, obfuscate and pack your code down into a deployable script or a neato mosquito PNG. I like the PNG method because it's slightly more obfuscated and adds further sandboxing, but that's a topic for a later post.
It's like Flash, but not too much like Flash…
Bang is enough like Flash/AS3 to be familiar, but sacrifices some AS3 similarities in exchange for simplicity and consistency. The complexity in Bang is very small. There aren't any tricks to make it more Flash-like than it has to be and it won't protect you from learning canvas operations. In fact, you'll have to learn about the CanvasRenderingContext2D to do any real drawing. I'm not aliasing those calls and hiding it in a mock Graphics object for you! And you should be learning these new technologies without crutches. Think of Bang not as a set of crutches, but as a set of wings, or at least a hammer and chisel. No one likes masonry-by-hand.
It is fast.
The original pre-alpha version of Bang takes Douglas Crockford's extremism literally. There are no uses of the keywords 'this' or 'new'. It accomplishes (multiple) inheritance through special constructor functions that add functions and closures to objects (or creates new ones). This, although a departure from AS3 at first, actually gives projects written in Bang an AS3++ feel. Multiple inheritance is awesome. Private variables are awesome. With prototypal inheritance you lose private variables so by using special constructor functions we can create private variables through closures. These features are awesome, but as Martin Hunt of GameClosure pointed out to me, it's not fast. Processing time will go up linearly with the number of properties and methods created in the class. This means that if you're creating a lot of complex game objects every frame tick, the project will likely start chugging. This is not fast. Apps have to be fast! For this reason I started a new branch of Bang that uses traditional prototypal inheritance. This branch will include a dirty rectangles implementation for really lazy redrawing, and I have plans for using WebGL for rendering down the line. Stay tuned!

Hey, it's been a while since my last update! I'm so bad at keeping diaries... But here goes ->
Released a new packet-writing package. This time it is fairly solid for me, not even untarring a complete kernel source tree to disc made it fall to its knees. The SGI kdb kernel debugger is included in the patch, I hope this will make it easier for folks to submit bugs. It's easier for me to trace them, which was the main reason for the inclusion. You can find the 0.0.2a release in here or at other kernel.org mirrors. Be sure to apply the -inc patch on top after patching, there were two stupid typos in the release.
Sent Andre an updated block queuing / elevator patch, and apparently it solves the weird problems he (and doc) has been seeing when really pushing IDE. I don't see quite how yet, but it points to a bug in the current elevator. kdb back traces all point to the stuck processes waiting in __wait_on_buffer indefinately - a sure sign that we are missing a buffer of a request here of there. I need to look at this some more, though.
Was sent an interesting paper on optimizing elevators for newer disk drives. When I've actually finished reading this, it'll be fun to hack this into Linux and see what kind of improvements it gives. I am an I/O nut, you know...


text: Quick question in regards to the first release ESB Vinyl Case (the one WITHOUT the wampa on it). What color was the decal sheet that went with it? A few years ago, I could have sworn I saw this case with decals the same color as the tray, but now Ive come to believe that it came with black decals...so which was it?

John Lockwood, Ontario, Canada
I have been chasing our communal quarry since 1999 when both my wife Colleen and I took the required Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters turkey hunting course that you have to attend and pass to get your turkey license.
Very humbling the first few years to see birds, but never able to close the deal to say the least. Was finally able to bag my first bird in May of 2006 and most years since, have been able to tag at least one bird here in our 2 bird limit Ontario spring season.
I have a 6 year old son that I'm trying to instill Dad's obsession, but seems the only way to get him into the turkey blind now is to let him bring his Nintendo DS, which at times, is not
a bad idea for a busy 6 year old with not much going on. My only hope is that he learns to enjoy all the outdoors and if turkey hunting does that so much the better. We live in Kingston, Ontario where I operate my insurance agency and have for the last 9 years. When our spring season rolls around, my team knows that when I'm in, I may not be as sharp and bushy tailed as the rest of the year.
They are patient with me and my obsession. They have asked that I not practice my calling in the office though, but it doesn't stop me from displaying some hard earned tail mounts. I would, at some point, like to hunt turkey in other states and perhaps try hunting the other species.
But, for now, I try my wife's patience as it is, so that may have to wait until my son can help put the pressure on Mom.
I look forward to continuing to learn what I can from all our members and try to pass on the little bit of experience that I've gleaned in my brief history of chasing the greatest sport bird in North America, the wild turkey.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Ole Miss and Mississippi State, both top 10 programs just days ago, meet tonight in a game that doesn't count in the SEC standings but counts in other important ways – emotions and RPI.
First pitch for the Governor's Cup at Trustmark Park in Pearl is 6:30 p.m. There is no TV coverage.
"That's a fun atmosphere out there. We always want to beat Ole Miss," MSU shortstop Adam Frazier said.
Ole Miss will start right-hander Josh Laxer (2-0, 2.45). MSU will counter with right-hander Brandon Woodruff (1-1, 4.15).
It is the only non-conference competition for both teams this week. Ole Miss is at home against Alabama this weekend, while MSU visits Texas A&M.
The Bulldogs (26-9, 5-7 SEC) righted themselves a bit this weekend with two wins against Florida, passing Ole Miss (23-9, 4-8) in the SEC standings on the way up.
The Rebels were swept at home for the first time since 2010, falling three times to No. 2-ranked Vanderbilt. Ole Miss had scored just two runs in a four-game span before scoring six in a 7-6 11-inning loss on Sunday.
While tonight's game won't have a bearing on the SEC race, it will on the RPI.
Ratings Percentage Index is a formula combining wins, losses, strength of schedule and other factors and is a key component used by the NCAA selection committee in determined at-large tournament bids.
MSU has an RPI ranking of 14th, while Ole Miss is 16 th.
Ole Miss has lost its last five games, all to SEC teams.
Facing Vandy's pitching staff was not a recipe for success for a team that has been struggling to score. The Rebels took some positives from Sunday's loss.
"I believe we got back to playing the way Ole Miss plays even though we loss. They're the No. 2 team in the nation, and we took them to extra innings," catcher Stuart Turner said. "We feel like we played very well today."

I like the handles on the Avery vest. However, I have had three with zipper problems Avery was great about replacing them, but I got tired of sending them back. Now I have Cabela's. No zipper(all Velcro ), but no handles.
"When a man is proud of his dog and shows it, I like him. When his dog is proud of him and shows it, I deeply respect him. Gene Hill
How does the velcro hold up long term on the cabela's? On the avery the the velcro does not stick that well.
Daren Galloway
I had an Avery that got a hole in it where I pulled it together to zip the zipper. Called Avery and they would do nothing about it. Made me very leary of buying anything Avery sold. don't know how they are now, but I thought customer service was very bad.
Just my experience with Avery.
^^^ I was thinking about Avery boaters parka but now that u mention this I am hesitant.
I have the Banded 5mm dog parka it has built in floatation and seems to be very well made. Have only used it a few times so far this season but seems very well made.
Lone Oak's Marley Man.. (My first)
Just bought the Cabelas 5mm floatation vest on sale for $29.99. Not a fan of the zippers, get a little room for adjustment with velcro..

Oppose the Coup Attempt in Ecuador
As President Correa took to Quito's streets to dialogue with the demonstrators, he was struck by tear gas and injured, forcing him to evacuate to a national police hospital. In an interview from his hospital bed, Correa insisted that the protests were a coup d'etat attempt by the opposition. At the time of writing, rebel police forces have stormed into President Correa's hospital room and are holding him hostage.
According to the Ecuadorian Foreign Minister, the President's life is in danger. The Security Minister has declared a state of emergency, and senior officials in the Ecuadorian Armed Forces remain loyal to the Correa government. In a show of support, Correa supporters are leading a rally to the hospital where he remains. There are reports of confrontations between Correa supporters and rebel police forces. While the exact political context remains unclear, it is ostensible that this coup attempt was manufactured by a few people in the opposition who command influence over the army and in the police.
As the Organization of American States meets in an extraordinary session and the US State Department weighs US-Ecuador relations, it is imperative that the US stand in solidarity with the democratically-elected government of President Rafael Correa. Demand that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton support democracy in Ecuador. Insist that the Obama administration unconditionally support President Rafael Correa and his democratically-elected government.
Contact Anaida Haas, Ecuador Desk Officer at the US State Department, and demand that the State Department issue a statement saying the US will not recognize any government other than that of President Rafael Correa. Ecuador Desk Officer

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
The Menz Club, LLC Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of V Maxx Rx due to Undeclared Sulfoaildenafil
James H. Jones, Jr.
(601) 866-6746
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 25, 2012 - The Menz Club, LLC is conducting a voluntary recall of V Maxx RX to the consumer level of the following lot numbers:
Single Count, UPC Code 2802803561, Lot Nos. 101108, 101009, 101010, 101011 , Five Count, UPC Code 0972859402, Lot Nos.: 101108, 101109, 101110, Ten Count, UPC code 0913251017, Lot Nos.: 301000, 301001
An FDA lab analysis of V Maxx Rx Lot # 101109 distributed by The Menz Club, LLC was found to contain undeclared sulfoaidenafil. Sulfoaidenafil is an analog of sildenafil, an FDA approved prescription drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making V Maxx Rx, an unapproved new drug. The Menz Club is recalling the above listed lots of this product which can pose a serious risk to health. Since the product has the same formulation, additional lots are being recalled.
FDA advises that this poses a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. The firm has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
The affected products may have been ordered online at www.vmaxxrx.com or www.themenzclub.net and were distributed to customers and distributors nationwide. This product is marketed as a dietary supplement intended for use as a male enhancement product and is packaged in one (1) and five (5) count blister packs and ten (10) count bottles.
The Menz Club, LLC is notifying its customers and distributors by email and/or phone to return or destroy all recalled products. Any consumer having V Maxx Rx should immediately stop using it and destroy the unused product or return it to ATTN: Product Returns, The Menz Club, LLC, P. O. Box 906, Madison, MS 39110. Customers with questions may call (601) 866-6746 Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM CDT for further instructions or information with respect to the return process.
Consumers should contact their physician or health care provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using these products.
Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.

Family: Scolopacidae, Sandpipers view all from this family
Description ADULT In summer, has back feathers beautifully patterned with brown, black, and white. Head and neck are heavily streaked brown and underparts are mainly white (Greater's flanks have dark barring). In winter, looks much paler grayish overall. Head, neck, and upperparts are pale gray-brown, feathers on back being marked with pale marginal spots and scallops. Underparts are white. JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but with more streaking on neck and breast, and buffy marginal spots and scallops on back feathers.
Dimensions Length: 10 1/2" (27 cm)
Habitat Common breeding species in taiga or lightly wooded tundra habitats. Watchful nesting birds sometimes perch on stunted trees. Long-distance migrant, wintering as far south as southern South America. Widespread on migration throughout North America and winters in smaller numbers than Greater on Gulf coast.
Observation Tips Bill length and more controlled feeding habits are pointers allowing separation from Greater.
Range Southwest, Florida, Plains, Eastern Canada, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Western Canada, California, Southeast, Northwest, Alaska, Rocky Mountains
Voice Utters a sharp tew or tew-tew in flight. Song is a yodeling tweedle-ee.
Discussion Elegant wading bird with long, orange-yellow legs. Bill is thin, long and straight; it only just exceeds head length, whereas Greater's bill is much longer than head length. Note also that Lesser's bill is always all dark, whereas Greater's is pale-based in juveniles and winter adults. Feeds in a more precise manner than Greater (which runs around wildly) and generally much less wary. In flight, dark upperparts contrast with white rump and pale-barred tail. Sexes are similar.

Be advised that clubs will begin receiving ballots soon, proposed rule change number 4 deals with eliminating the practice of lying a gunner down in the field to retire them.
Proposal No. 2 Layout Blinds
Under STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR NON-SLIP RETRIEVER TRIALS, No. 8, 3rd paragraph, (page 28) after the sentence ending the distinctive shape of the blind insert the following: and in no event shall gunners or throwers be instructed to lay down on the ground in layout blinds or like configurations for hiding purposes.
So that No. 8, 3rd paragraph in its entirety will read:
"Retired Guns, throwers and blind planters should be concealed by a blind that provides complete coverage, adequate space, and natural camouflage to conceal the distinctive shape of the blind and in no event shall gunners or throwers be instructed to lay down on the ground in layout blinds or like configurations for hiding purposes. The blind must be so located as to minimize the development of a trail that will lead the running dog away from the area of the fall. In no circumstances should the judges have the guns move to another position to mislead dogs in their marking. No blinds shall be placed in the field in a marking test except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this paragraph or for the purpose of protecting the running dogs from injury by unseen hazards."
This is a very important proposal for many of us in the plains states where there are places that it is impossible to retire a gun into natural cover where no natural cover exists, if you object to this rule proposal be sure that your club votes.

Gary J. "Sparrow" Bockhop
Gary John "Sparrow" Bockhop, 69, of Belmont, passed away on Monday, January 21, 2013 at University Hospital in Madison.
Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Friday, January 25, 2013 at the Melby Funeral Home & Crematory, Platteville. Pastor Peter Berg will officiate. Friends may call from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Thursday at the Melby Funeral Home & Crematory or from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service on Friday at the funeral home. Memorials may be made to the Gary J. "Sparrow" Bockhop Memorial Fund. Online condolences may be made at www.melbyfh.com.
A native of Belmont, Gary was born in Platteville, Wisconsin on October 10, 1943, the fifth child of Wilbert and Grace (Eustice) Bockhop. He married Nancy Dolphin on February 6, 1961. Together they raised four children. Gary began driving milk truck for his father when he was 14 years old, and spent his career driving semi. Since retiring, Sparrow drove occasionally for First Capital Salvage and Truck Co., plowed snow for Rural Excavating and Lee McCarville, and particularly enjoyed driving the event bus for Jack Runde. Gary was an early member of the Belmont Fire Department and the Belmont Timberwolves and in recent years belonged to the Badger ATV Club, where he and Nancy were ATV Safety Educators and Trail Patrol, and was a lifetime member of the GWRRA Chapter I. Sparrow enjoyed taking yearly trips on the Gold Wing with close family and friends, ATV riding, and camping. Family was very important to him and he especially enjoyed the yearly Bockhop and Dolphin Reunions. He truly loved his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.
Sparrow is survived by his wife, Nancy and four children, Tim (Cherene) Bockhop of Arizona; Sharon (Roger) Buss of Belmont; Jim Bockhop of Madison; Bruce Bockhop of Sun Prairie. He is further survived by six grandchildren, Rory, Ryan and Jenna Buss, Amber (Eric) Russell, Amber (Chip) McNett, Andy (Ali) Bockhop, and their mother Cris Bockhop; great-grandchildren, Camden, Paige, Maddux, and Harper Russell; Addison, Griffin and Dane McNett; and Tenleigh Bockhop. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters, Ronald (Margaret) Bockhop, Wayne (Eldeen) Bockhop, Karen (Roger) Nodorft, Mark Bockhop, Gayle (Daniel) Speth, and Dan (Kathy) Bockhop; sister-in-law, Carol Bockhop; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilbert and Grace; in-laws, Ted and Melva Dolphin; brother, Clifford Bockhop; and sister, Beverly Lapp.
A special thanks to his longtime cardiologist Dr. Tom Ansfield, Dr. Peter Mason, Dr. Michael Connolly, and the staff at Platteville Hospital, Meriter Hospital, and UW Hospital.
These are the bookends of a great man's life, but in between was a life filled with family and friends, love and loss, laughter and tears, travel and home…

|>> Archive: Striper (etc) Flies Tricks of the trade
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Hawkeye's swap flies
Superglue is enough if you apply it liberally - ie coat over the eyes. If you do that and the eyes come off you have caught so many fish that the fly is probably trashed.
RE:Hawkeye's swap flies
Is Superglue enough for the eyes to stay on? Or do you just keep replacing them?
RE:Hawkeye's swap flies
Here's a couple more.
[img]http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flyswaps/striper2001/hawkeye4.jpg" border="0">
No Name fly
This is an untried fly ie an experiment.
At the tail of the hook tie in a strip of bunny fur. At that tie in point tie in some red larva lace (at least that is what I think it is.) Wrap the thread to the front. Wrap the larva lace to the front (leave some room for the front bunny fur) then back to the back and once again to the front. Tie it off and trim. Tie in a bunny strip and make one wrap, tie off and trim. Tie off the thread and trim. Moisten your fingers and form the wrapped fur over the eye of the hook to keep it out of the way. Mix some epoxy and coat the larva lace. If you try this fly I'd love to hear if it works for you.
<img src="http://www.flyfishingforum.com/flyswaps/striper2001/hawkeye5.jpg[/img]
Jelly belly deep sand eel - I used the wrong hook on this one - short shank.
Thread: clear mono and olive
Glue: Epoxy
Hook: Mustad 34011 1/0
Underbody: white (I think it is superhair but the label is missing) Yak hair would also work.
Midbody: polarflash with a hint of green
Upperbody: Olive (again I think it is superhair but the label is missing) Yak hair would also work.
Hook body: silver rexlace (from a craft store)
Eye: small or medium dumbell
Pinch or file barb. At bend on top of hook tie in 4-6 strands of polarflash followed by the white superhair about 5. At the same point tie in the rexlace and wrap it to the eye tie in point secure and trim. Tie in the dumbell eyes. Turn hook over and tie in the olive superhair to the same length or a bit longer than the white. Tie off and trim mono. Add olive thread to nose tie off and trim. Apply epoxy to body trying to keep the olive hair close to the body (something I can never get quite right.)
RE:Hawkeye's swap flies
It took me a while to understand that sparse can be good. I'd heard it but couldn't get myself to do it - kind of a confidence thing. The flats changed my outlook as well as a good look at the critters in the water - they are nearly invisible at times. So I went sparse. I had many times with 3-4 decent sized fish litterally fighting to get at this thing.
|Bob Pink
RE:Hawkeye's swap flies
I was particularly fascinated by the ultra-sparse sandeel. When I first unwrapped it I looked to see if there was a section that had fallen off due to some rough handling.
Then I stepped back and really looked at it. Less is better sometimes, yes?
Hawkeye's swap flies
I was one of those miscreant reprobate types Bob spoke of. Here are the ones that made the photo cut.
Crab fly - I had a red, white, and blue banner day with this fly at south beach inside on the 4th of July last year.
Hook: Gamakatsu SC15 2/0
Weight: small dumbell eyes
Body: Bottom: Champagne felt
Top: Tan felt
Legs: white leg material sorry I dont know the real name I also use rubber bands
Tail: two feathers again I dont know the name of the feather
Eyes: 50# mono melted
Pinch or file barb. Attach eyes 1/8th of an inch from eye of hook on the top side. Tie off and cut thread. Place hook in vise point up and glue champagne felt to the top of the hook using fabri-tac or similar glue. Glue eight legs in place. Glue two feathers in place. Glue two mono strands in place. Glue top tan felt in place. With sharpie markers in red and brown make a whole mess of dots on the top tan felt and with the brown marker make dots on the legs. Holding the crab upside down use a lighter to melt the mono until it is close to the body. Hold in position until it cools and repeat with the other strand. Allow glue to dry and its ready to fish.
If you would like more of a bulge in the carapace you can glue a smaller piece of felt under the top tan felt.
Squid A great producer for me on the tip rip.
Thread: clear mono
Glue: epoxy and superglue
Hook: Gamakatsu SP11-3L3H 3/0
Underlegs Pink bucktail, chartreuse holoflash, and pink Krystalflash
Legs: pink feathers about 5 long
Underbody: pink chenile
Overbody: pink cactus chenile
Head: Pink marabou tufts
Eyes: 7/8 or ¼ prism eyes
Pinch or file the barb. At the bend tie in the following; a small bunch of pink bucktail, 10-15 strands of pink krystal flash, and 4-6 strands of chartreuse holoflash. At the same spot tie in pink chenile and make a few overlapping wraps of chenile to make a spreader. Tie off and trim chenile. Just in front of the spreader tie in the pink feathers evenly spaced around the hook, 5-6 feathers. At the feather tie in point tie in the pink chenile and wrap it onto the hook building the body up. Leave a bit of room behind the eye of the hook, secure and trim. Tie off the pink chenile and at the feather tie in point tie in the pink cactus chenile. Wrap the cactus chenile to the front of the hook, secure and trim. On either side just behind the eye of the hook tie in a tuft of pink marabou. Tie off and trim thread then apply superglue. At the feather tie in point or just behind it epoxy the prism eyes on each side. After the epoxy has set use a black sharpie marker to place dots on the body and legs.
Flats sand eel. I killed em last year at Monomoy with this.
Thread: clear mono
Glue: superglue
Hook: Mustad 34011 1/0
Underbody: White (I think it is superhair but the label is missing) Yak hair would also work.
Midbody: Ghost krystal flash
Upperbody: Olive (I think it is superhair but the label is missing) Yak hair would also work.
Eye: small prism eyes
Pinch or file barb. Near the eye on the top of the hook tie in 4-10 strands of krystalflash 4 ¼. On top of that tie in a small bunch of olive superhair 5 ¼. Turn the hook over and at the same point tie in white superhair a little shorter than the olive. Build the head up with thread, tie off and trim. Stick on eyes and liberally coat with superglue.

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by a nerve toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are three main kinds of botulism: foodborne botulism is caused by eating foods that contain the botulism toxin; wound botulism is caused by toxin produced in a wound infected with Clostridium botulinum; and infant botulism is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release toxin. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Foodborne botulism can represent a major public health threat, because there may be many other persons at risk of poisoning from eating the same contaminated food.
From 2001 – 2005, an average of 142 cases of botulism were reported each year. Of these, approximately 13% were foodborne, 66% were infant botulism, 19% were wound botulism, and 2% were unknown or other. Outbreaks of foodborne botulism involving two or more persons occur most years and are usually caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods. The number of cases of foodborne and infant botulism has changed little in recent years, but wound botulism has increased because of the injection of black-tar heroin. In recent years, California has experienced an epidemic of this form of botulism and we now report nearly three-quarters of the wound botulism cases in the country.
The initial symptoms are frequently double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, and dry, sore throat. Progressive descending paralysis, usually symmetrical, may then follow. After affecting cranial nerve function (to cause slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, and inability of the neck muscles to support the head), paralysis of the extremities and respiratory muscles can occur. Infants with botulism appear lethargic, feed poorly, are constipated, have a weak cry, and poor muscle tone. These are all symptoms of the muscle paralysis caused by the bacterial toxin. In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food, but they can occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 10 days after.
Physicians should consider the diagnosis if the patient's history and physical examination suggest botulism. However, these clues are usually not enough to allow a definitive diagnosis of botulism. Other diseases, such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome, stroke, and myasthenia gravis, can appear similar to botulism, and special tests may be needed to distinguish these conditions from botulism. These tests may include a brain scan, spinal fluid examination, nerve conduction test (electromyography [EMG] with repetitive nerve stimulation), and a Tensilon test for myasthenia gravis. The most direct way to confirm the diagnosis is to demonstrate botulinum toxin in the patient's serum, stool, or wound by injecting appropriate clinical specimens into mice and looking for signs of botulism in the mice. The bacteria can also be isolated from the stool of persons with foodborne and infant botulism, and can be recovered from the wounds of persons with wound botulism. In California, tests for botulism can be performed only at the California Department of Public Health Microbial Diseases Laboratory in Richmond, CA, and at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services laboratory in Los Angeles.
Botulism can be prevented. Foodborne botulism has often been from homecanned/home-preserved foods with low acid content, such as asparagus, green beans, beets and corn. However, outbreaks of botulism have also occurred from more unusual sources such as chopped garlic or onions in oil, improperly handled baked potatoes, and home-fermented fish. Persons who do home canning should follow strict procedures to reduce contamination of foods. Oils infused with garlic or herbs should be refrigerated. Potatoes which have been baked while wrapped in aluminum foil should be kept hot until served or refrigerated. Because the botulism toxin is destroyed by high temperatures, persons who eat home-canned foods should consider boiling the food for ten minutes before eating it to ensure safety. Instructions on safe home canning can be obtained from the UC Cooperative Extension, or from the US Department of Agriculture. Because honey can contain spores of Clostridium botulinum and this has been a source of infection for infants, children less than 12 months old should not be fed honey. Honey is safe for persons 1 year of age and older. Wound botulism can be prevented by promptly seeking medical care for infected wounds and by not injecting street drugs.

Weekend travel on all regional freeways is also expected to be worse than normal, especially between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Drivers are urged to stay close to home. If longer trips are required, plan ahead, be patient, and leave plenty of time to reach your destination, preferably early or late in the day when traffic volume is lighter.
Bellevue, of course, will be open for business and the best way for drivers to get there from the north will be to stay off highways. Instead, travel south on arterials such as Bellevue Way Northeast, 112th Avenue Northeast, 116th Avenue Northeast, 120th Avenue Northeast, 124th Avenue Northeast, 140th Avenue Northeast, 148th Avenue Northeast or Bellevue-Redmond Road.
Removal of the Wilburton Tunnel is part of WSDOT's I-405 South Bellevue Widening Project, designed to help relieve congestion on one of the region's busiest stretches of highway. The tunnel must be removed to make room for two new lanes of roadway. As always, safety in the project work zone will be a top priority: Remember to Give 'em a Brake!
With an average of 94,000 vehicles passing through the Wilburton Tunnel on a typical summer Saturday, and about 77,600 trips on Sundays, traffic analysts say that a significant number of motorists must change their travel plans during the closures in order to avoid big jam-ups.
Predictions indicate that in a worst-case scenario, backups on southbound I-405 could extend north to the I-5 interchange in Lynnwood -- a 13-mile back-up. It could take more than three hours to reach Southeast Eighth Street on southbound I-405, and drivers could face a 2.5-hour slog from southbound I-405 to westbound State Route 520.
Traffic managers suggest the following tips to help ease travel during the closures:
The following ramps leading to I-405 will be closed during the tunnel's removal, from 11 p.m. Fridays to 5 a.m. Mondays: eastbound SR 520 to southbound I-405, Northeast Eighth Street to southbound I-405, Northeast Sixth Street to southbound I-405, Northeast Fourth Street to southbound I-405, and Southeast Eighth Street to southbound I-405.

Why It Matters
Lemarck Revisited
Some of you may have heard of the evolutionary theories of Jean-Batiste Lemarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829). The aspect of this theory he is widely known for is "the inheritance of acquired characteristics". The example of the giraffe's (Giraffa camelopardalis) neck is often cited as an example of how this theory is wrong. However, while natural selection provides a far better explanation for the giraffe's body plan, Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) never fully abandoned Lemarck's theories, and became increasingly Lemarkian in his later years as he struggled with the question of the source of the variation that natural selection acted upon. Darwin struggled partially through his lack of knowledge of genetics. When genetics were finally recognized as a mechanism that explained natural selection and inheritance, natural selection gained much wider acceptance in the scientific community. Unfortunately for Lemarck, this mechanism ran counter to his theories. If DNA was hard coded with information, how could acquired characteristics be passed on? Well, times change and science marches on. Scientists studying the methylation of DNA have identified a mechanism by which acquired traits can be passed to the next generation. There do appear to be limitations as far as the type of acquired information which is passed on but as far as Lemarck? Well, it seems he wasn't all wrong.

So, today I found myself at the beginning of a much-needed 10 day mid-semester break. And what did I do with it? Sat around doing nothing - damn, that feels good.
Then I got bored, so I went and rewrote the primary interface to vorbisfile. Oh - and sped up decode by 10% by changing a single line (now THAT'S optimisation). Vorbisfile is now much more flexible, so doing interesting things like streaming becomes relatively easy.
I think tomorrow I'll sit down and figure out how to do network stuff, and implement streaming in the winamp and xmms vorbis plugins. However, I'll probably run screaming from the windows one. This could be interesting...
I've also been spending some time getting into the real technical material concerning audio coding. This is lots of fun, though it's really hard work, compared to the generally trivial stuff I seem to do at university. Two big books sitting in front of me on VQ techniques, up next on my reading list.
Some notes on advogato: Found this place pretty recently. Some really smart people, and damn high s/n ratio compared to most of the net. Pretty nice - but it's somewhat hard to find your way around, a lot of things are only linked to from obscure sub-pages. I agree with what a lot of people have been saying - the range of the certifications is overly limited, and their scope is unclear.
Keeping a diary is a good idea. I think I might try and do this regularly - writing it all down helps organise stuff in my mind, and encourages actually thinking instead of just going and wasting time doing stuff that turns out to be entirely trivial

Electrix Pro Warp Factory
Designed for both DJs and Musicians, the Warp Factory is possibly the ultimate stand-alone Vocoder. With those great big knobs, the Warp Factory is designed for straight-forward hands-on use. It has an XLR Mic input (conveniently located on the front) and a quarter-inch line input for use as the Formant or carrier signals. Then there are two quarter-inch line-inputs and two RCA phono inputs for your stereo source sounds, either drum loops, mixes, songs, synth pads, etc...
The way it works is whatever Formant signal you have, say your voice, will be warped into taking on the characteristic of the Source signal you have, say a buzzy synth sound. This would in effect give you that Robot voice effect.
The Warp section is where you'll find most of the knobs and cool features of the Warp. There is a low- and high-pass filtering switch. A 'Gender' knob adjusts the pitch of the Formant. 'Q' adjusts the width of the filtering. An 'Order' adjusts the filter resolution for clear to abstract vocoding effects. There is also Noise and a built-in oscillator Source signal whose pitch is adjusted by 'Robot Pitch'. Various Bypass and Freeze switches and complete MIDI implementation make this the ultimate Vocoder for DJs, musicians and producers. It has been used by U2, John Digweed, United State of Electronica and the Chemical Brothers.

Graduate alumnus delivers psychology lectures, May 6-7
Posted April 29, 2004; 04:59 p.m.
Graduate alumnus Roy Baumeister, a professor of psychology at Florida State University, will present two talks for the annual Edward E. Jones lecture series Thursday and Friday, May 6-7.
He will speak at 8 p.m. Thursday in 104 Computer Science Building on "Human Nature and Culture: What Is the Human Psyche Designed For?" and lead a discussion following that lecture. At 4 p.m. Friday, he will discuss "Self-Control, Decision Making and Ego Depletion" in 0-S-6 Green Hall.
The talks are sponsored by the Department of Psychology . The lecture series was inaugurated in 2000 in honor of Edward "Ned" Jones, a prominent figure in social psychology, who taught at Princeton from 1978 until his death in 1993.
Baumeister came to Princeton with Jones and earned his Ph.D. in psychology in 1978. He has since studied a broad set of areas within social psychology, including topics centered on questions of self and identity. He has published some 16 books on psychological topics, many seeking to convey the discoveries of the field to general audiences and researchers alike.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Black Locust
The problem with big moves is that they require big movements. The topography at Black Locust was relatively flat, and I wasn't 100 percent sure we could backtrack to the timber and get around on the birds. Further, they had gone back and forth in the field for more than an hour, and there was at least a good chance they'd do so again.
So we waited. And after about 15 minutes, one of the hens looped around the group and began feeding toward us. Within minutes, the flock was headed toward us. And 10 minutes later, the strutter stood 35 steps away.
His hens scattered and flew at the gunshot, but they'd be OK. He, on the other hand, had contracted copper beak disease.
It had been a great hunt with a calculated gamble that paid off. I was ready to celebrate ... as soon as my buddy helped me up off the ground.
What decision did you make?

A Monroe County man has died after his lawn mower flipped into a pond Friday morning. Thomas E. Rossi, a 73-year-old from Amory, was cutting grass behind a home.
Monroe County 911 received a call at 9:50 a.m. from a man that said Rossi had flipped into the pond and was not visible. Emergency crews pulled him out of the water after about 15 minutes of being submerged, and he was airlifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. He was pronounced dead by hospital staff at 11:46 a.m.
The drowning is being ruled an accident by Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley, and other medical conditions could have been a factor in the accident.
By Charlie Langford
Monroe Journal
AMORY – A Monroe County man was in critical condition Friday afternoon after a mower he was riding rolled over into a pond.
Thomas Rossi, 73, 30067 Hester Cutoff Road, was transferred to North Mississippi Medical Center via CareFlight helicopter after Monroe County Search and Rescue Dive Team personnel pulled him from a pond behind his house, said Emergency Management Director Bunky Goza. The victim was revived at the scene after being pulled from 4 feet of water.
"He was found underwater in a private pond," Goza said. Rossi had been cutting his grass prior to the accident.
E911 dispatchers first received the call at about 9:50 a.m. and Rossi was underwater for about 10 to 15 minutes, Goza said.
When rescue personnel arrived on the scene all they saw was the wheel of a riding mower above the surface of the pond.
After receiving treatment at the scene by MedStat personnel, Rossi was transported via ambulance to Highway 371 north of Highway 6 where the Monroe County Sheriff's department had blocked the road for the helicopter to land.
Others responding to the original E911 call were the Cayson Volunteer Fire Department and Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

For Christians, the Jesus Boat is one of the most precious and meaningful archaeological treasures in the world.
On a drought-dried shore of the Sea of Galilee in January 1986, two brothers who were fishermen from Ginosar—called Gennesaret in Jesus' day (Matt. 14:34, Mark 6:53)—spied a mysterious object poking up out of the mud. Twelve days later, an ancient vessel saw the light of day for the first time since it sank nearly 2,000 years ago.
Scholars say it was a combined ferry and fishing boat, and might have even served in a sea battle against the Romans, but for more than a million Christians who have seen it over the years, and for those looking forward to doing so, it will always be "the Jesus boat." While no one knows exactly who rode in the boat or what its purpose was, it serves as a powerful visual reminder of the Gospel stories of Jesus and his disciples, many of whom were fishermen themselves.
After complex restoration, the Galilee Boat now sits above a calm blue-green sea at the Yigal Alon Center at Kibbutz Ginosar. At this superb indoor display, visitors learn that this mainly oak-and-cedar craft was patched repeatedly and lovingly with 12 different kinds of wood, and that these very trees still grow along the walk to the museum.
Sculptor and kibbutz gardener Yuvi Lufan, who along with his brother Moshe discovered the boat, is now part of the living history of the Galilee Boat. "Our parents taught us to love the Sea of Galilee," Lufan says, "and I always knew it would give us a gift. And it did—a legacy that brought something special to the whole world."

How the fiscal cliff will affect your grocery bill
SPOKANE, Wash. - If lawmakers don't reach an agreement to avoid a fiscal cliff, your grocery bill and the cost of a morning bowl of cereal may soon spike.
Because elected officials are busy with fiscal cliff discussions, they haven't had the time to renew the Federal Farm Bill.
According to the Public Health Law Center, the bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation for the nation's food.How the fiscal cliff will affect your grocery bill
The bill plays a role in setting milk market prices. If it is not renewed, the pricing guidelines would revert back to 1949 standards. A step back in time could double milk prices.
Mike Vieira, owner of Spokane Family Farm, sells his milk directly to consumers.
"So we're not involved in the commodity marketing which sets the price of milk nationwide," Mike Vieira said.
"But with that being said we still have to be competitive with conventional milk," he added.
"We're so aware of customers, [we] have a relationship with them. . . It is hard for us to want have a price increase, but we're really to the point, it's right about the time we're going to be forced to," Vieira said.
Vieira believes a price hike could make his dairy more competitive or it could force people to cut back.
He hopes lawmakers reach a decision soon.
"It's a no-brainer, we have to get our government financial situation under control, there has to be a budget and we have to quit spending more than we are taking in," he added.

3.11: Lithification of Sedimentary Rocks
What steps led to this rock formation?
What do you see? The rock is a sandstone, so first there were rocks that weathered and eroded. The cross-bedding indicates that the sand was deposited in a dune. The sand was then buried deeply enough that it turned into rock. This lesson will explore how something like sand could become a rock.
Sedimentary Rock Formation
There are two main types of sedimentary rocks: clastic and chemical. Clastic rocks are made of sediments, which are sometimes called clasts. Creating rocks from sediments is called lithification. Chemicals precipitate from liquid to form chemical sedimentary rocks.
Clastic Rocks
Over time, deposited sediments may harden into rock. First, the sediments are compacted. That is, they are squeezed together by the weight of sediments on top of them. Next, the sediments are cemented together. Minerals fill in the spaces between the loose sediment particles. These cementing minerals come from the water that moves through the sediments. Sedimentary rocks that form from sediments are called "clastic rocks." Clastic rocks are rock fragments that are compacted and cemented together.
Conglomerates have larger clasts than sandstone, which have larger clasts than mudstone.
Chemical Sedimentary Rocks
Chemical sedimentary rocks form when crystals precipitate out from a liquid. The mineral halite, also called rock salt, forms this way. You can make halite! Leave a shallow dish of salt water out in the sun. As the water evaporates, salt crystals form in the dish. There are other chemical sedimentary rocks, like gypsum.
Gypsum, with its rose-like structure, is a chemical sedimentary rock.
- cementation: When fluids deposit ions to create a cement that hardens loose sediments.
- compaction: When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them.
- lithification: The creation of rock from sediments.
- Compaction and cementation lead to lithification of sedimentary rocks.
- Sediments are compacted by the weight of the rocks and sediments above them.
- Sediments are cemented by fluids that bind sediments together.
- Minerals precipitate to form sedimentary rocks.

There is currently no welfare legislation for exotic animals in Ireland. We regularly see exotic animals like monkeys, zebras, wallabys, racoons as well as snakes, lizards, spiders, turtles, etc for sale on the internet and other places. These animals are often sold to people with little or no understanding of the care needed to look after these beautiful creatures and keep them in healthy, comfortable and safe conditions. People are also unaware of the costs associated with keeping an exotic animal in terms of their living conditions, feed and healthcare needs.
Exotic animals can be bought and sold freely in Ireland under the current 1911 animal welfare legislation.
The DSPCA believes that we cannot continue to have exotic animals bought and sold without any form of license.
The only way that this can be done is through the introduction of an appropriate system to register exotic animals and all animals micro-chipped to prevent cases of animal cruelty & neglect.
The Animal Health and Welfare Bill is due to contain this legislation, we have been assured time and again by successive administrations that it will be provided, but the Animal Health and Welfare Bill has once-again been put on the long finger. The current legislation dates back to 1911 – it is outdated and needs to be amended.
The DSPCA is asking the government to pass the Animal Health and Welfare Bill into Irish legislation immediately to stop all instances of animal cruelty.

Traditional Alaea Hawaiian Red Sea Salt's unique flavor is ideal for seasoning a variety of foods. Hawaiian Salt is harvested from the sea surrounding the island of Molokai. As a small and isolated island, the ocean waters of Molokai remain pristine and unpolluted. These salts are harvested using the highest of standards through a slow and careful process of solar evaporation, allowing the salt crystals to form with the much desired trace minerals intact. Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt is widely used in Hawaii as a key seasoning for many of their native dishes including the kalua pig, poke, and Hawaiian jerky. It's also used commonly for preserving. The growing popularity of the Alaea Hawaiian Salt has boosted the economy of the island of Molokai in recent years and we're pleased to offer this amazing salt.
There is reported to be over 80 trace minerals in this salt, all of which are minerals found naturally in this seas water. Hawaiian volcanic clay called "alae" is added to this salt to enhance the salt with iron-oxide which gives the salt its extraordinary red color. Though adding the alae clay does not affect the taste of the salt, it does increase the health benefits of the salt by providing a source of digestible dietary iron.
Recent research suggests that natural unrefined salt, like our Alaea Hawaiian Salt, could be better than anything else, including calcium, for strengthening and building bone mass. Bones are made of at least a dozen minerals and we need all of them in perfect proportions in order to have healthy bones and healthy bodies.
Some of the possible health benefits of Alaea Hawaiian Salt:
● May be effective at fighting osteoporosis
● Natural mood-elevating substance & antidepressant
● Regulating the water content throughout your body
● Helping carry nutrients to your cells
● Supporting your libido
● Promoting a healthy pH balance in your cells, particularly your brain cells
● Promoting vascular health
● Promoting blood sugar health & helping to reduce the signs of aging
● Regulating your sleep -- it naturally promotes sleep
● Allowing fluids to pass in & out of your cells
● Assisting in the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in your body
● Promoting bone strength
● Absorption of food particles through your intestinal tract
● Supporting respiratory health
● Various metabolic reactions in your body
● May be the best thing to build stronger & denser bones
● Prevention of muscle cramps
● Promoting sinus health
● Helping nerve cells in your brain and body to transfer information
● In conjunction with water it is actually essential for the regulation of your blood pressure
