I'm not political at all. I'm more pop culture than political. There is an issue though that is a concern to me and has me upset enough to blog about it. That issue is the future of health care, in this country, for the disabled. Medicaid.
While I'm not on Medicaid, the majority of disabled people I know are. Services should not be cut and all states should want to participate in the funding of Medicaid. I was watching the news last week when I noticed the crawl at the bottom of the screen. If I read it correctly, it said that the state of Missouri would begin considering putting disabled individuals into managed care facilities in 2013. I'm assuming this means people with chronic or pre-existing conditions.
I'm not going to give you a lot of boring statistics. Disabled people deserve good health care choices. They should not be penalized for not being able to work a full time job. And, they most definitely should not be warehoused in managed care facilities just to cut costs.
I love my country , but I think sometimes lawmakers forget that the disabled are people who deserve the same rights as everyone else. The United States is always ready to help other countries. Yet, lawmakers would consider cutting or changing services to the disabled citizens of their own country. It just doesn't seem right or fair to me.
My home care is costly. I went to a state agency several months ago and asked if I could get a little assistance from them in paying a portion of my monthly home care bill. I was told to get any help from them at all I'd have to be totally on Medicaid. I. could have no funds at all. I have always tried to be a productive member of society, but I can understand why a lot of disabled people don't work. It's because they are afraid of losing their assistance.They have no real incentive to work.
I just wrote from my heart. It seems to me the answer is clear. Having a disability is enough of a challenge. Disabled people deserve to have a good quality of life. They shouldn't have to worry about changes or cuts to their services. Before lawmakers make cuts or changes to services for the disabled, they should stop for a moment and remember, "There But For The Grace Of God Go I."
Disabled Diva: There But for the Grace of God
My thoughts on the government cutting or making changes to services for the disabled.

Very good article Joanne. I am a 65 year old disabled Vietnam vet on Medicare, etc.
This current administration scares the hell out of me.
If nothing else, the Bengazi debacle shows they can't be trusted to tell the truth.
What is there yet about Obama care we haven't been told.
Scary scary stuff.

Discovery Kits Offer Value and Companion Products That Complement Each Other
BURBANK, CA (November, 2010) – Baby Einstein, an award-winning leader of infant products, today unveils Baby Einstein Discovery Kits, an innovative new interactive experience to help parents introduce babies to the beautiful music, nature and animals for which the company's products are known. The first six Discovery Kits in the new collection each feature a DVD, a music CD and a picture book or Discovery Cards, and with each element complementing the others, the new kits give parents another way to interact with their babies.
"The Discovery Kits resulted from our ongoing discussions with parents who loved the concept of a single product that offered a variety of different ways to interact with their babies," noted Susan McLain, vice president and general manager, The Baby Einstein Company. "We're thrilled to offer this unique new experience for parent and child to share as they go through their busy days together."
Representing a new path for the company as Baby Einstein continues to listen to and evolve with today's parents, the Baby Einstein DVDs will now only be available at retail as part of the Baby Einstein Discovery Kits.
The new Discovery Kits encourage parents to take what they and their little one have seen on screen, in the baby book or on the Discovery Cards, or listened to on the CD and apply it to baby's everyday life. They were created to grow with babies and are organized in a way that offers three distinct levels of discovery:
Level 1: Experience
Level 2: Explore
Level 3: Expression
The first six Discovery Kits are available for purchase November 23, 2010 and three additional Discovery Kits will be available in early 2011. The Baby Einstein Discovery Kits have a U.S. suggested retail price of $19.99 and a suggested retail price in Canada of $24.99 CAD.

I'm Suing, My Neck Hurts: Roller Coaster Hits 60 MPH In 1.8 Seconds, 120 MPH In 2.8 Secs
Apparently the Top Thrill Dragster roller coaster has existed at CedarPoint amusement park (Sandusky, OH) since 2003, and you all know what that means: it's just about time for me to get around to posting it! Anyway, this is a point-of-view video showing the acceleration (NSFW link) to 120 MPH in just under three seconds. WHEE! And by 'WHEE!' I mean 'BLAAAAH!' and sorry to everyone sitting behind me. You know I can't resist amusement park hotdogs!

Bach Mouthpiece Adaptors are available for a variety of instruments. Bach Mouthpiece Extensions allow the player to adjust the tuning of the instrument by allowing the mouthpiece to move further out of the receiver. Bach Mouthpiece Extensions are available for trumpet and small shank tenor trombone mouthpieces.

Comments about Bach 381 Small Shank Trombone Mouthpiece Extension:

MAYVILLE - New York State Supreme Court Justice Deborah A. Chimes recently turned down David Wilfong's request to remove County Legislator Bob Whitney as the Independence Party candidate for the Nov. 5 General Election for County Legislature.
Wilfong, the Republican and Conservative challenger to Democratic, Working Families and Independence incumbent Whitney for the County Legislature District 11 seat, was in court seeking an Article 78 hearing to remove Whitney as the Independence candidate.
Wilfong's court action defeat followed an earlier unsuccessful legal attempt to have Chimes remove Whitney from the ballot that was filed in State Supreme Court by Republican City Chair Brent Sheldon.
Both Sheldon and Wilfong's court papers contented that Whitney did not have enough signatures due to Independence Party petitions being filed in two parts.
"I am the endorsed Independence Party candidate for Legislature District 11. My supporters worked very hard to get 25 signatures and I only need 15 to qualify to be the party's candidate on the ballot." Whitney said. "I am disappointed in Mr. Wilfong's using the courts to try and gain ballot advantage. This was a silly court action that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. Elections should be left to the voters and not the courts."

Higher Institute of Emergency Planning - ISPU
Address: Centre Gouvernemental de Coordination et de Crise
Rue Ducale, 53 / 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium
Tel.: +32. 2 506 48 81
E-mail: email@example.com
Web: http://www.ispu.eu/
Royal Decree of 29 July 1991 establishing the Higher Institute of Emergency Planning (amended by Royal Decree of 5 December 2011)
President: Jaak RAES
Director: Monique BERNAERTS
Permanent staff of centre: • 6 persons • A scientific committee with an advisory role
The ISPU seeks to make the approach to emergency planning and management more professional by building up relevant expertise and making it available to those involved in crisis management. Exchanges of information and know-how with foreign countries also form part of the approach. These activities go hand in hand with the essential analysis of hazards and vulnerabilities – carried out by the Government Co-ordination and Crisis Centre (www.crisis.ibz.be)of which the ISPU forms part, including work at cross-border level.
The ISPU's activities involve four strands: • Research and development • Information sharing and training • Development of legal and practical tools, eg emergency planning guides • Establishment of a network of experts
• ResearchEvery year, the ISPU runs a research project related to emergency planning. To this end, it calls on teams of university researchers to address vital issues concerning emergency planning and management. • Guides - Emergency planning guide for transport and transit pipelines for gaseous and liquid substances in Belgium – 2008 This guide addresses the issue of pipelines with a view to drawing up an emergency plan and intervention plans, and is supplemented by hazard maps. Identification of the relevant hazards applies at local, provincial and federal level. - Emergency planning guide for identifying and analysing hazards at local level - 2009 This guide sets out a method for identifying and analysing hazards. It is intended for local authorities, ie municipal and provincial authorities. - Local emergency planning guide - 2010 This guide presents the latest emergency planning know-how and is intended both for local authorities and their response units and for their emergency planning officials.• Best practicesAs a specialised centre, the ISPU is conducting a multiyear comparative survey of legislation on major hazard management in the member countries of the Council of Europe's EUR-OPA Major Hazards Agreement. The results of this project and the best practices identified here are published on the website www.ispu.eu. The member countries are also invited to publish factsheets describing the various tools available to them or which they have developed.
The ISPU identifies the training on offer with a view to making it available to those involved in crisis management and supplements it by holding information/training seminars. It also builds up its own know-how by taking part as a contributor or ordinary participant in colloquies and training events held in Belgium and elsewhere. This involves establishing useful synergies with Belgian and foreign universities and research centres in the area of training in hazards and emergency planning and management.

News Release
Friday, September 03, 2010
Media contact: (inland issues) Patricia Behnke, 850-251-2130; (marine issues) Lee Schlesinger, 850-487-0554
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) resolved quite a few issues during its three-day meeting that concluded Friday in Pensacola Beach.
Commissioners started the meeting by recognizing Jim Berry, a local artist from Milton, with a plaque for his portrayal of Florida wildlife in his artwork.
Also on Sept. 1, the Commission passed several final rules, starting with fox and coyote enclosures and their operation in Florida. The new rule prohibits the taking of fox or coyote by a dog or dogs within an enclosure. Another final rule addresses how the FWC will notify a county or municipality of a pending application for the possession of Class I or II wildlife. Other rules passed include restricting the method of take during the spring turkey season on wildlife management areas and adding a month of crossbow hunting opportunity on private lands.
The Commission also approved a final rule that changes the way Florida manages listed species. The rules describe a system whose goals are to conserve threatened species and to ensure no fish or wildlife goes extinct in Florida because of human action or inaction.
Wednesday's meeting concluded with a report on adjusting hunting season dates on FWC-managed lands and an anchoring and mooring update from staff.
While catch-and-release fishing for snook still will be allowed during the closed harvest seasons, the Commission made other decisions regarding snook on Thursday. They approved the reopening of the Atlantic snook harvest season from Sept. 17 until Dec. 15, and then close the harvest of snook in this area from Dec. 15 until Sept. 1, 2011. Commissioners also decided to keep the harvest of snook closed in Florida's Gulf of Mexico, Everglades National Park and Monroe County waters until Sept. 1, 2011.
The Commission also agreed to reopen the recreational harvest season for red snapper in Gulf state waters on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for eight consecutive weekends, beginning on Oct. 1 and continuing through Nov. 21. This coincides with the same season expected to be implemented in federal waters off of Florida.
In other marine fisheries action, Commissioners proposed a draft rule that would increase the daily recreational bag limit for red drum from one fish to two in Escambia through Pasco counties in northwest Florida and in Flagler through Nassau counties in northeast Florida. They also will consider implementing a possible vessel limit for redfish in northern Florida as part of its proposed rule. A final public hearing on the proposed redfish draft rule will be held in February in Apalachicola.
In addition, Commissioners proposed a series of blue crab draft rule amendments, including staggering the annual regional, 10-day trap-harvest closures so they occur every other year. A final public hearing on the proposed blue crab rule amendments will be held in Weston in December.
The Commission also directed staff to continue reviewing permit, pompano and African pompano management issues and discussed the possible creation of a recreational reef fish tag or endorsement and several federal fisheries management issues.
On Friday, the Commission heard reports on the agency's budget and legislative issues for the 2011 session of the Florida Legislature.

After the ProcedureWhen the colonoscopy is done as an outpatient procedure (without checking into the hospital), the patient will go home later that same day. But before going home, the patient will be observed for some time and monitored until the effects of the medications have resolved. The patient should make arrangements for someone to come to the clinic and take them home, because nausea, bloating, and drowsiness can continue for some time after the procedure. Recovery time after the procedure can vary. If there are no complications it can range from a few yours to a few days. Must Read Articles Related to Colonoscopy

Sharing parking costs is one man's ticket to happiness
Jun 03, 2011 10:05 AM »
Asalaamu Alaikum
It never ceases to amaze how a small act of kindness can influence people's lives.
We should never underestimate the worth of being able to bring a smile to someone's face.
Sharing parking costs is one man's ticket to happiness
Sometimes in life, it's the little acts of kindness that leave the longest impressions.
For Eldho Kuruvilla, 34, one of those life-changing moments came as he was fumbling with a parking ticket machine and was approached by an Emirati man.
"Just as I was trying to pay for a ticket, he came up to me and offered his," said Mr Kuruvilla, a business development manager from India.
"Initially, I thought I was being fined for something and my heart started racing. But when he gave me his ticket I was simply elated. I couldn't stop smiling the entire day."
So moved was Mr Kuruvilla by this and similar acts of thoughtfulness - most of them by Emiratis - that he created a Facebook page encouraging other motorists to do the same; to give "two dirhams of happiness"
"We do not always use our parking minutes completely," he said. "At times, we complete our work and leave before utilising the entire parking time.
"We let the ticket lie on our dashboard or throw it away. Instead of forgetting about it, it would be good to give it to the next person who is trying to park."
Mr Kuruvilla started the Facebook page last week. He said a free parking ticket could help motorists with no loose change or at faulty meters.
"Recently, I shared my parking ticket with a young couple struggling with a faulty machine," he says.
"I thought, 'Why not start a Facebook page and propagate this idea to everyone else?'"
Mr Kuruvilla said motorists could pass the unexpired ticket to another motorist or leave it on the parking meter so anyone who needed it could use it.
"If the authorities could even put magnets on the meters, people could use them to stick their unused tickets on them," he said, while acknowledging the idea was a little far-fetched.
The page, facebook.com/giftyourparkingticket, has only five friends but Mr Kuruvilla said he was optimistic it would attract more.
He stressed the campaign was not intended to offend the authorities but to encourage the spirit of giving, and that it was not confined to the UAE.
"This is a global campaign and can be applicable in any country where people are paying for tickets," Mr Kuruvilla said.
Motorists yesterday said they would be willing to pass unused parking tickets on and that the Facebook campaign will encourage others to do the same.
"I always give my ticket if I don't need it," said Jennifer, an American expatriate who asked not to be identified by her last name.
"I think it's hardly any effort to just hand out the ticket to someone who could use it, instead of letting it go to waste. I encourage all motorists to do the same."
Mary Hall, an Australian, said: "I used to work next to Lamcy Plaza and had to buy a 24-hour parking ticket. At the end of the day, I used to always give it away to somebody. It's nice when someone hands you an unexpired ticket."
Nashwa Hamad, an Emirati, agreed: "I think sharing is caring. It is a generous act."
Mohammad Mudassir, a Canadian student, said: "Sure, I will give away my ticket. Islam encourages being kind to strangers."
But Nadia al Samsam, a Syrian expatriate, said people did not always respond positively when she shared her parking minutes.
"Some of them give me this weird smile then throw the ticket away," Ms al Samsam said.
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

Thats the norm around here. Sharing meter tickets is normal, I once got one as I turned into a hospital parking lot. I was so grateful not to have to fumble with change when I urgently needed to get to a physician.
And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. Surah 2 Verse 186

I almost got all excited about this! Thought ppl were paying parking tickets!!
(like the one's u get fines for parking on the wrong side) d'oh I got one recently!! :'( I need to look for a rich emerati willing to help me out too
But seriously, it is a really nice small gesture and these things are really noticed by other people. I remember one interfaith thing a non-Muslim woman mentioned she needed a flu shot and one of the Muslim doctor uncles was like why don't u just come to my office, my nurse can do it for you for free! Really nice mashaAllah. Ok over and out

We don't really have paid parking except in a few places and there are no meters or automatic fine system if you don't pay. There's usually a guy whom you have to pay and get a ticket. Usually, we argue and get away, like, "I've been here for 5min and you want me to pay for parking? Go to hell" and we drive out
....ahh...the benefits of living in a third world country

It's been the same old song for West Virginia State coach Earl Monroe and he is getting tired of the melody.
Monroe watched as his Yellow Jackets played toe-to-toe with defending West Virginia Conference champion Concord on Saturday only to see another close loss, this time a 23-16 setback.
"The kids played hard, but gosh, we keep making the same mistakes over and over,'' lamented Monroe, whose team fell to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the league. "It's a lack of concentration and it's getting frustrating. We had opportunities to win the game and you've got to take advantage and seal the deal.''
State drove to the Concord 28-yard line with 49 seconds left, but a personal foul penalty on the Yellow Jackets moved the ball back to the 43 and the threat died. Last year, State suffered four losses by a touchdown or less en route to a 1-9 mark.
"Too many times we've let teams off the hook,'' said Monroe, whose team snapped a six-game losing streak earlier this season.
"That's why every play is so important. You've got to pay attention to detail. We should have won that football game [against Concord]. Now, you are being congratulated for being close, but nobody wants to hear that. They're going to remember wins and losses. There's only two columns.''
Monroe said unlike most teams in the conference he doesn't have the luxury of sitting down a player after a series of mistakes.
"The problem is we just don't have the depth to just sit those folks down,'' he said. "We try to get them out of there and make them realize that they've got to concentrate every play. We just don't have that depth to get that rotation.
"We're just trying to teach them. That's what hurts so bad. Not that we're getting outplayed, it's even tougher when you're close and you look at the film and you're one step away. That's on me as the head coach and D coordinator. That's our job to make sure the guys are learning it.''
Monroe said effort hasn't been a problem.
"I think sometimes effort made up for some of the mistakes,'' he said. "Now, we've go to increase that effort and eliminate those big mistakes at key times and try to get some wins put together.''

Water tests for lead contamination: what drinking water contamination tests should you order? This article explains the general classes of water contaminants covered in a water test for lead. There are several possible sources of lead in drinking water, including lead in ground water, lead contamination from municipal water piping, lead contamination from building water supply piping or fixtures, well contamination by lead from surface contamination due to lead paint chips, and insignificant lead contamination from lead in well pumps or faucet parts. This website describes the types of water testing available, outlines common water test fees, describes the details of what parameters are included in various water test options, and gives advice to assist you in deciding what tests to order. For help tracking down sources of lead contamination in & around homes see LEAD POISONING HAZARDS GUIDE. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Lead Contamination from Water Supply Lines/Entry Mains, Lead Testing & Correcting Contamination from - Lead Pipe Problems/AdviceDepending on the duration and extent of lead-water contact, lead can enter the water supply if lead is present in supply piping or fixtures. Common sources of lead in water supply piping include older lead-bearing solder used on copper pipes, possible lead content in brass piping or fixtures, lead water supply piping (rare), and lead water supply entry main between a building and the public water main in the street (common in some areas). Health hazards from lead content in waterRecently there was also a flurry of concern about lead contributed by brass in private well pumps. However the testing methods used for this latter topic misrepresented an exaggerated and frankly dubious risk. Finally, it is possible for lead to be found in private well water if lead contaminants have entered the local aquifer. Action Level for Lead in Water - allowable lead limitsNew York State Department of Health has set an action level of 0.015 mg/L of lead in a sample of water drawn from a tap used for drinking water after a 6-hour period of no water use. Variations in Lead Level vs. Testing MethodsLead levels will usually be quite high in water which has sat overnight in a lead line from street main to house. Most lab tests indicate low lead levels in water from such lines after the test fixture has run until all standing water in the piping has been flushed out with fresh from the municipal supply mains in the street. There are ambiguities in instructions offered by some municipalities about how to obtain a water sample for lead testing. The particulars of how the water sample is taken can make a big difference in the lead level obtained. Our photo (below) shows how to recognize lead water supply piping between a building water shutoff valve (or water meter) and the water supply mains in the street. The author is pointing to the wide lead wipe joint connecting the lead water pipe to the bronze bottom of the water shutoff valve.
Most local building codes do not require removal of lead, for example, the City of Poughkeepsie Building Codes do not require removal of residential lead supply lines (house to street). However eventually (usually after 40-60 years) these lines corrode, leak, and have to be replaced. Replacing the main supply from street to the water meter, when required, could involve significant expense. People with concerns for the amount of lead in water should consult the local health department and should have their water tested for lead. Typical lab fees are $20. to $25. per sample plus the cost of hiring an independent consultant to collect and handle the water sample if you don't do it yourself. Even if you are not concerned with testing for lead in water it would be wise to reduce possible lead intake by flushing any lead-containing piping before drinking such water. In addition, lead-in-water removal equipment is available from water treatment companies. If you need to calculate the amount of water to run out of piping to be sure you are obtaining water from the street, that is, the volume of gallons of water inside of water piping, you need to know simply the length and diameter of water piping between the faucet where the water test is to be taken and the location whose water you want to test. For example, let's say the water contained overnight in the water main in your street is what we want to test. 1/2" internal diameter water piping contains about 0.01 gallons per linear foot; 3/4" ID piping contains about 0.02 gallons per linear foot, and 1" water piping contains about 0.04 gallons per linear foot. Just measure or estimate the number of linear feet of water piping of each diameter to perform this calculation. Alternative worst-case lead in water test procedure If we run water at a building tap until the water temperature first feels cold and immediately collect our water sample, we are most likely collecting and testing water that has been sitting in the water service piping between the building and the street water main. See WELL FLOW RATE for a detailed explanation of how to calculate the volume of water inside of pipes. Also see our review of a Home Test Kit for Lead in on building surfaces located at LEAD TEST KIT for HOME USE. The same company offers a lead-in-water test, as do local health departments and private water testing labs in most cities.

Sleep Medicine Message from the Director
While EVMS Sleep Medicine fellowship program is designed to expose fellows to "bread and butter" sleep medicine (obstructive and central sleep apnea, persistent insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy), there are also unique aspects of the program that allow a more varied multigenerational patient experience. Training is at four different (and diverse) sites:
EVMS's Fort Norfolk Plaza Sleep Disorders Center, Sentara Norfolk General Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center, Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and Veterans Administration Medical Center-Hampton.
The sleep medicine experts have diverse backgrounds in psychology, pulmonary/critical care, neurology and pathology. There is also the unique opportunity to engage in studies utilizing a driving simulator as well as the opportunity to explore erectile dysfunction testing in a sleep disorders center.
We hope that fellows find this program intellectually rewarding and that it provides a solid grounding for the Sleep Medicine board examination and a career as an outstanding sleep specialist.

Clutch chatteringHey Guys, I got a chattering clutch problem on the 53...It doesn't slip (yet) but it shakes moderately when I take off etc....I bought it late last year and just changed all the fluids etc. and didn't get time to look into the clutch....I did grease the throwout bearing...Anyhow any advice will be appreciated....Thanks..Dave
In Memory of 58,286
Re: Clutch chatteringCheck the condition of the throwout bearing and that the pressure plate fingers are evenly adjusted. Check to see if the throwout bearing carrier is hitting the pressure plate fingers when clutch pedal applied.
I wouldn't use the tractor until I had repaired the clutch. I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Clutch chatteringThanks Eugene....I'm changing rear tires and getting ready to put a C2 belly mower on it so I intend on making sure the clutch is OK before I put the mower on....I wasn't sure if I would have to split the tractor so I wanted to get some opinions....I'll check the TO bearing etc thru the inspection cover...Thanks again, Dave

Re: Clutch chatteringThanks Boss....I've got to look up one of the measuring do-hickeys on the how to site, to check the pressure plate fingers and make up one...I probably won't get into the project till next week as I got to be a plumber at the house here for a few days....In any event I'll certainly give you a call if I need to...Hope all is well with you and yours....Dave....PS Diana says howdy.....

Re: Clutch chatteringYeh Sonny, I been putting up with it just driving it to the Garage from the barn, but its the wife's tractor and she's pretty fussy about her shake rattle and roll....LOL...Seriously it does shake pretty good when taking off, so it is pretty much past the point of not fixing it...Probably why I bought it reasonably cheap....(for up here)....Thanks for your reply....Dave
In Memory of 58,286
Re: Clutch chatteringWell I had one finger that wasn't touching, so I readjusted them all to 1 1/4 inch and adjusted the pedal with 1 inch free play....Got rid of some of the chatter but still have 50 to 60 % of it....I greased the TO bearing but I need to check out my grease gun, I think it may be malfunctioning....The TO bearing seems to have a bit of slop in it....I''m going to give it another go-round tomorrow....The TO bearing doesn't squeal and the clutch doesn't slip, it just vibrates when you let the clutch out and then the tractor continues on its merry way...Although both rear tires were 8.3 , one had considerably less tread than the other....Tomorrow I'm going to put on some tires, readjust the fingers again, make sure the throw out bearing is getting grease...The adjustment screws are even or slightly indented with the lock nut........If anyone has anything to add, I'm all ears...And Boss I'll be calling you if it don't get straightened out on this next go round, just hate to bother anyone on Sunday....Dave....

Re: Clutch chatteringHey Boss, I got to looking at some old posts this morning and found someone who had the same problem and who's tolerances on the fingers were off by a 1/16 th of an inch......Anyhow I readjusted the fingers actually by sight on the TO bearing after I had an approximate 1 1/4 and now 98% of the chatter is gone...When I put the cover on, I'll give it another look see (maybe 2% worth)...I'll probably give you a jingle and let you know in case you have some other knowledge to share but thats where the problem was...(There was no cover on it when I bought it...I suspect someone was diddling around with the fingers and got them out of sync)...Thanks, Dave..... PS...Thanks to Eugene and Sonny for responding to my post also....

The Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 tent from Eureka sleeps 4 and is a classic tent updated with the latest in frame technology. The Timberline series has been famous for years as the Scout's tent of choice, Why? Because of ease of set up, durability and reliability. Well Eureka just made it better with a stronger and easier to set up aluminum frame set. The frame is so tough that Eureka began to compare it to the strength and durability of the giant Sequoia tree and the name stuck (SQ). A stronger, thicker ridge pole and the SQ frame's spreader pole not only increase overall frame strength but adds more usable square footage to the interior of the tent. Improved ventilation with the addition of 2 generous roof vents mean long humid tent nights will be much more comfortable than in the past. In addition Eureka has lengthened the side of the fly for even more coverage and added vestibule wings to the front of the tent to protect the door from weather. Some of the good old parts remain like the use of RipStop materials for strength and worry free use. This is a classic tent and it just got better.

Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: This is the fourth one of these the Boy Scout troop has purchased. It is not a backpacking tent but is very comfortable for three scouts and gear. We have purchased the foot print in order to extend the life of the floor. Scouts are hard on gear but these are holding up.
Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: seems to solve zipper issues seen with (non-outfitter) Timberline 4.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Roomy tent (I am 6-4) that was a breeze to set up alone. Rained at night but not a drop inside. Great tent used by many Boy Scout troops.
Pros Cons
Best Uses Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Not enough stakes to keep the tent floor flat on the ground. We sent it back at once... At MY expense.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Too heavy for serious backpacking, but we had porters to carry gear up the mountain. I bought this tent to replace the same model that I left in Vietnam.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Recived this tent today. I am 6 feet tall and put this tent up in about 25minutes myself. It feels very sturdy and the poles themselves appear and feel to be of exallent quality. Their are 3 bags for poles, steaks and tent materical with everything rolled inside. I am happy that all the bags are oversized so stuffing everything back in is a breeze. The only thing that may be a slight problem is the tub of the tent seems thin. I hope it is strong enough to stand up to normal camping conditions.
Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Have been using the Timberline 4 outfitter for 15 years. Very disappointed inthe new SQ design. It is not a 4 seaon outfitter tent. There are no spare parts and it is more difficult to set up. It is roomier and good for warm weather camping. Not good for scout tropps or outfitters.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: The Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 is worth every cent. Expect years of use.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: There are several complaints about the difficulity of getting the spreader rod into the little pockets made for it. It is a darn snug fit but you need it that way. To help: get yourself a simple stamped out soup spoon (I got mine at the thrift shop) on the underside of the handle there should be a grove or trough, place the aluminum rod in the grove and the very end of the handle in the small pocket. Use it like a shoe horn and lever the rod into the pocket. After a few times being set up the fit will relax a bit.
Best Uses
Comments about Eureka Timberline SQ Outfitter 4 Tent: Everything about the tent is great, except for the fly design. The expansion bar that opens up the middle of the tent almost seems like it is too long. I can't even get both the pockets on the fly to fit over it for fear of tearing the fly. I need to call the manuf. and ask them to help solve this.

County implementing 'Code Red' emergency alert system
Henrico County is implementing a new multi-faceted alert system that will warn residents of emergencies faster than its current system while saving the county about $50,000 a year.
The "Code Red" system, operated by a private company, will be able to send warning messages by phone, text and e-mail countywide or to specific groups of residents in certain geographic areas as warranted, Fire Chief Anthony McDowell told the Board of Supervisors during a work session Nov. 27. The system will cost Henrico about $53,000 annually – about half of the $102,000 the county had been paying to maintain its existing system each year. Henrico officials have been operating the current system internally since 2007, using county data servers, phone lines and employee time to send phone, text and e-mail alerts as weather and public safety events necessitated, McDowell said. But the system was becoming costly and inefficient. It had just about outgrown its four servers, which would have necessitated the purchase of new servers at a cost of about $30,000, he said. And reverse 911 calls could take hours to send out to all 132,000 land lines in the county because only 23 lines were available for use (down from 46 originally). By contracting with Emergency Communications Network, LLC, those problems will be eliminated, McDowell said. The company will host all information on its servers in Florida, with three backup systems in place in other states. Phone calls and text and e-mail alerts will be sent out immediately through dedicated channels, ensuring that the county's messages won't have to wait in a queue behind those from other participating jurisdictions. The Code Red system is able to distribute 50,000 30-second phone messages each hour, McDowell said, meaning that it could contact every Henrico landline in about two and-a-half hours. Phone messages will only be sent in cases of actual emergencies – such as the potential of life-threatening weather events or when a dangerous criminal is believed to be in the area, County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the board. Text and e-mail alerts – which citizens must register to receive – may cover a broader range of events, including non-emergency information about traffic, for example. Anyone may opt into the system by registering a phone number or e-mail address at http://www.henricoalert.org. Henrico officials are hopeful that the Code Red system will be able to identify emergency phone calls as coming from "Henrico Emergency" so that recipients are more likely to answer. But even if they don't answer, the system will leave its entire message on voice mail, or recipients can dial the number back to hear the message, McDowell said. The Code Red system uses a database of phone numbers filtered through Verizon's list of all landlines in the county, so that it will know to call only one number at a business or residence, for example. The system does not include phone numbers established through online providers such as Vonage, but citizens also will be able to opt their phone numbers into the system if they choose. Code Red also offers a smartphone app for a one-time fee of $5.99 that will provide emergency alerts from any of its participating jurisdictions nationwide, so that a person who travels to another state, for example, could be alerted to emergencies there. Twenty-five other Virginia localities already use the Code Red system, McDowell said. In Henrico, it will be administered through the Division of Fire and Office of Emergency Management, though other county officials may have the ability to distribute messages. |

Khumba-ya? Not quite
But animated South African film has its moments
You might have seen something called Khumba while clicking through a Redbox recently (or perhaps it was nestled in some hidden corner of a DVD sale shelf). And chances are, you passed it by without much of a thought. Makes sense; that goggle-eyed cartoon zebra on the cover (a zebra that's dangerously close to becoming Madagascar copyright infringement) doesn't inspire much confidence.
But when Khumba starts up, it looks nothing like you'd expect. The camera gazes across the savannah and the soundtrack swells with triumphant South African vocals. > Read more.

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

Nacogdoches Railroad Depot hosts model train exhibit
Stephen F. Austin State University's Center for Regional Heritage Research is working to drive foot traffic into the restored Nacogdoches Railroad Depot. Research associate Dr. Kelley Snowden said the Loblolly model train display will attract hundreds of visitors. She plans exhibits and speakers at the Depot throughout the year.
"We really want the Depot to be a vital part of the city of Nacogdoches," Snowden said. "Since the Depot has been so beautifully restored, we want people to come here and see this piece of their history."
The Loblolly railroad display will run through Dec. 14.
In February, an exhibit on segregation will chronicle its impact on transportation. Snowden said it will include original Depot blueprints showing how segregation worked in public spaces. She said the exhibit also will include oral histories of Nacogdoches African Americans who lived during segregation.
