Solebox x Supra Skytop III – Release Date
January 10th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 9 comments
Solebox's sneaker collaborations are often hard to come by thanks to super-limited numbers. Their most recent team effort resulted in only fifty pairs, and those Supra Owens were all gifted to store staff. Regular Sneaker News readers would have recognized a similarity in the colorway in use on those and the Solebox x Supra Skytop III, a model that had been off the radar since its teaser back in August. These Skytop IIIs are now ready for retail, a January 19th release that's stylish in grey suede with green accents, and carries the store's luminescent torch by incorporating some glow in the dark mojo to round out the look. Are these the best Skytop IIIs you've seen? Let us know after checking out more shots below and stick with Sneaker News for word on a possible US release.

Pierre, S.D. (AP) _ South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard has signed legislation creating South Dakota's first new state park since 1972.
The bill establishes a 615-acre state park at the Blood Run nature area along the Big Sioux River southeast of Sioux Falls.
It's the state's 13th state park.
Blood Run was designated a national historic landmark in 1970. The area along the Big Sioux River bordering Iowa was used by thousands of Oneota indians into the early 1700s. The area includes a large oak forest, rolling hills, flood plains, riverside bluffs and burial mounds.
Daugaard says the site is culturally significant, and it's important to preserve it for future generations.

This Shadow Stormtrooper was released in a Walmart exclusive 3-pack in 2008 during The Anniversary Collection. The set included two Shadow Stormtroopers and one Emperor Palpatine figure. Shadow Stormtroopers were featured in The Force Unleashed video game.
For this figure, Hasbro re-used the same mold which they used for the Incinerator Stormtrooper figure. The Shadow Trooper is nicely articulated with 10 ball-joints (neck, shoulders, elbows, waist, knees, ankles) and 4 swivel joints (wrists, legs). The only accessory included with the figure was a basic Imperial blaster, which fits well into both of the trooper's hands. On the left side of the Stormtrooper is a non-removable holster, where the blaster can be stowed away. The Stormtrooper helmet, the belt and the thermal detonator on the back are not removable.
The paint application on the Shadow Stormtrooper is well applied on the armor, but looks quite sloppy and uneven on top of the helmet. There is no battle damage on the figure, but there are some very subtle red markings below the left knee and both ankles. Just like the Incinerator Stormtrooper figure, the figure's mold is fantastic without any balancing issues. Overall, if you like the expanded universe, and like your classic Stormtroopers in different colors, you might want to consider adding this super articulated figure to your The Force Unleashed collection.

A federal judge said Friday he will delay a trial in a case over mountaintop removal mining to give regulators and environmentalists more time to work out a settlement.
Chief U.S. District Judge Charles Haden II said he would postpone the trial, scheduled to start Tuesday, until Aug. 2.
Haden ruled just hours after Arch Coal Inc. said it would give up its fight to get the largest mountaintop removal mine in state history authorized under a blanket Clean Water Act permit.
The case before Haden focuses on allegations of widespread problems in the state Division of Environmental Protection's permitting of mountaintop removal. Part of the case also involves a challenge to a single Arch Coal permit.
During a hearing Friday, lawyers for all sides said they were close to an agreement on most of the issues in the case against DEP. The lawyers asked, and Haden agreed, to dismiss the case against the Arch Coal permit.
Haden also warned the lawyers that he wanted to keep control of the case.
"Be very careful that you don't eliminate federal jurisdiction," the judge said.
"I want to see this case through to conclusion," he said. "I don't have to try it all, but I want to maintain jurisdiction."
Arch Coal subsidiary Hobet Mining fought for months to have the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approve the 3,100-acre expansion of its Dal-Tex mine in Logan County under a general, nationwide permit that requires little scrutiny by regulators.
In a news release, St. Louis-based Arch Coal said most of the 400 United Mine Workers employed at Dal-Tex would be laid off while the company applies for a more rigorous individual permit.
Environmental studies required for an individual permit could take up to two years. But Arch Coal said the corps agreed to "expedite the processing" of the individual permit.
"Needless to say, this announcement is tragic news for the nearly 400 UMWA members who will suffer greatly because of today's decision by Arch," said UMW President Cecil Roberts.
"Not only will these fine working men and women suffer, but so will their families and the communities where they live."
In a prepared statement, Roberts added, "During the course of this debate, the UMWA has taken considerable heat for intervening to try and expedite a permit, but I make no apologies for doing what I did - and for what the union did.
"The UMWA's primary function, contrary to what some may believe, is to fight to protect the jobs of its members," he said.
Arch Coal says it has run out of coal to mine on its current Dal-Tex permits and wants to move the mine east into Pigeonroost Hollow near Blair.

Dorothy Fields
Dorothy Fields | |
Dorothy Fields working with Arthur Schwartz on A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1951)
Background information | |
Birth name | Dorothy Fields |
Born | July 15, 1905 |
Origin | Allenhurst, New Jersey, U.S. |
Died | March 28, 1974 New York City, U.S. |
(aged 68)
Occupations | Lyricist |
Dorothy Fields (July 15, 1905 – March 28, 1974) was an American librettist and lyricist.
She wrote over 400 songs for Broadway musicals and films. Along with Ann Ronell, Dana Suesse, Bernice Petkere, and Kay Swift, she was one of the first successful Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood female songwriters.
Fields was born in Allenhurst, New Jersey,[1] and grew up in New York City.
Her father, Lew Fields, an immigrant from Poland, was a vaudeville comedian and later became a Broadway producer. Her career as a professional songwriter took off in 1928, when Jimmy McHugh, who had seen some of her early work, invited her to provide some lyrics for him for Blackbirds of 1928. Fields and McHugh teamed up until 1935. Songs from this period include "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Exactly Like You", and "On the Sunny Side of the Street." During the later 1920s, she and McHugh wrote specialty numbers for the various Cotton Club revues, many of which were recorded by Duke Ellington.
In the mid-1930s, Fields started to write lyrics for films and collaborated with other composers, including Jerome Kern. With Kern, she worked on the movie version of Roberta, and also on their greatest success, Swing Time. The song "The Way You Look Tonight" earned the Fields/Kern team an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936.[2]
Fields returned to New York and worked again on Broadway shows, but now as a librettist, first with Arthur Schwartz on Stars In Your Eyes. (They re-teamed in 1951 for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.) In the 1940s, she teamed up with her brother Herbert Fields, with whom she wrote the books for three Cole Porter shows, Let's Face It!, Something for the Boys, and Mexican Hayride. Together, they wrote the book for Annie Get Your Gun, a musical inspired by the life of Annie Oakley. They intended for Jerome Kern to write the music, but when he died, Irving Berlin was brought in. The show was a success, and ran for 1,147 performances.
In the 1950s, her biggest success was the show Redhead (1959), which won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. When she started collaborating with Cy Coleman in the 1960s, her career took a new turn. Their first work together was Sweet Charity. Her last hit was from their second collaboration in 1973, Seesaw. Its signature song was "It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish". Fields died of a stroke the next year at the age of 68.
Fields was the sister of writers Herbert and Joseph.
Thirty-five years after her death, Barack Obama, in his inauguration speech as 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009, echoed lyrics by Fields when he said, "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America".[3] This alludes to the song "Pick Yourself Up" from the 1936 film Swing Time, for which Jerome Kern had written the music, in which Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire sang Fields's words "Pick yourself up; dust yourself off; start all over again".[4]
- ^ Klein, Alvin; and Emblen, Mary L. "NEW JERSEY GUIDE", The New York Times, October 4, 1992. Accessed August 10, 2012. "That's how Dorothy Fields, born in Allenhurst in 1905, is described in the notes on the original cast album of Sweet Charity, the 1966 musical for which she wrote the lyrics."

Current_Issue.tar.gz - Developing Webs, Even If You're Not a Spider
Ever since the early 1990s, we've been stuck on the Web like a fly visiting a spider. Of course, for us, the Web is a useful medium for information delivery, and no giant spider is coming to eat us (depending on the Web sites we visit, I suppose). Although our passion for the Web hasn't ebbed during the past two decades, the Web itself has changed drastically. This month, we focus on Web development. It's exciting to see how integral the Linux operating system is to the Internet, and as the Web changes, so does the way we develop for it.
Behind most good Web applications, there is a database humming along providing data to the user quickly and efficiently. Reuven M. Lerner shows us Redis, which is a high-speed storage and caching system for databases. It's a bit like memcached on steroids. Be sure to take a look if your database could use a speed boost (and really, what database doesn't?). Thankfully, Daniel Bartholomew follows Reuven with a one-two punch and gives us a review on the Zmanda Recovery Manager. The fastest database in the world is useless if you can't recover its data from a disaster, so you'll want to read Daniel's article before going into production.
Although databases are important for any good Web application, for end users, they're about as exciting as watching paint dry—that's where user interfaces come in. Thankfully, many content management systems exist to do all the heavy-lifting for us. Jerad Bitner and Nate Haug show off Drupal this month. The LinuxJournal.com Web site runs Drupal, so we can attest to how wonderful it is for managing large Web sites. Jerad and Nate explain how Drupal can do the same for your Web site, and they provide some tips and tricks to make it perform well regardless of how big your site might become.
For many developers, simply managing content isn't what they need to accomplish. In that case, we've given you a couple different ways to tackle your specific problem. Paul Barry demonstrates how to use App Engine. App Engine is a way to create webapps on Google's infrastructure, completely free. (Well, if your webapp becomes extremely popular, Google will charge you, but initially it's free, which is a price that's hard to beat.) Google's App Engine is extremely flexible and constantly improving, and Paul shows the ins and outs of this relatively new technology. If its newness or its Googliness turns you off, perhaps Christopher Schultz's article on developing Web applications with Java/JSP will be more what you're looking for in a platform. Java has been around for a long time, but that doesn't mean it's old-fashioned. Christopher shows how to make cutting-edge programs in a time-tested language.
Many of us aren't developers at all. I'm certainly not, and yet I still look forward to the Web development issue because I can point my developer friends at new ways to make my life as an end user more exciting. Rick Rogers, for instance, walks through the process for developing portable Web applications for Internet-enabled devices. Whether you use an Android phone or an iPad tablet, or if you just prefer to run mobile apps on your computer (a little user-agent trickery in your browser usually can help there), Rick's article is one you'll want your developer friends to check out. A beautiful Web page is great, but when you're looking at a three-inch screen, it's nice to have a viewing experience designed for such small real estate.
Finally, this is Linux Journal. If this month's issue focus isn't quite your cup of tea, we still have tons of stuff to feed your Linux addiction. Kyle Rankin shows us the ropes with GRUB2, a significant change from the GRUB we all know and love. Dave Taylor teaches us about exit codes to help make our shell scripts a little smarter. Mick Bauer continues his series on transparent firewalls. Even I get into the act with some tips on starting a LUG in your area. Add to that our regular lineup of tech tips, letters to the editor and new product announcements, and you've got an issue bound to inform and entertain. The great thing about Web development with Linux is that no matter how long you stay tangled in this issue, no giant spider will come to eat you. We hope.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Nebraska Spending Limit Amendment, Initiative Measure 423 (2006)
Nebraska Constitution |
Articles |
Preamble • I • II • III • IV • V • VI • VII • VIII • IX • X • XI • XII • XIII • XIV • XV • XVI • XVII • XVIII |
The Nebraska Spending Limit Amendment, also known as Initiative Measure 423, was an initiated constitutional amendment on the November 7, 2006 general election ballot in Nebraska, where it was defeated.
If Measure 423 had been approved, it would have imposed a limit on the extent to which the state budget could grow every year. The limit of the allowable growth would have been based on a calculation involving previous appropriations, the rate of inflation and the extent of population change in the state.

Initiative 423 (Nebraska Spending Limit) | ||||

Official results via: Nebraska Blue Book 2008-09 (p.264)
Text of measure
The language that appeared on the ballot:
- A vote "FOR" will amend the Nebraska Constitution to impose a state spending limit based upon a calculation involving previous appropriations, the inflation rate and population change in Nebraska.
- A vote "AGAINST" will not amend the Nebraska Constitution to impose such a state spending limit.
- Shall the Nebraska Constitution be amended to limit state spending based upon a calculation involving previous appropriations, the inflation rate and population change? The Legislature could seek voter authorization to exceed the spending limit. Appropriations subject to the limit would not include emergency appropriations and appropriations of monies from the federal government, monies from nongovernmental entities, proceeds from the sale of property, monies dedicated to pro-rata taxpayer relief and refunds, monies from user charges, income from certain permanent funds such as endowment and pension funds, and surplus funds held in reserve. Taxpaying residents could enforce the spending limit.[1]
The initiative was one of three that appeared on the Nebraska general election ballot in November 2006. Had it passed, it would have created a new constitutional amendment in the Nebraska Constitution, that would have put a TABOR cap on the rate of future growth of the state government's budget.
Supporters and donations
Mike Groene was the chair of the Nebraska Stop Overspending Committee and was its representative to the media.
The former city administrator of Norfolk, NE, Michael Nolan, was fined $1,000 for using his publicly funded email address to send messages opposing the measures to Lynn Rex, executive director of the Nebraska League of Municipalities.[2]

The Illinois Tollway replaced structural bearings and patched concrete without impeding traffic on a busy suburban Chicago bridge, thanks to a solution devised by engineering firm Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc., Northbrook, Ill.
The goal was to lift the bridge deck about 1/8 inch so crews could install new, 18x12-inch Type 1 elastomeric bearings under the steel girders.
Usually, hydraulic cylinders are installed between the shoring tower and the item being lifted, forcing crews to operate the cylinders at the top of the tower, where access is limited. But for this project, the towers' lifting column was jacked using a 100-ton "lock-nut" cylinder that placed the cylinders at ground level.
Once the ram's hydraulic piston is extended, the mechanical lock nut is screwed down tight. This prevents the piston from retracting into the ram body and mechanically holds the load so hydraulic pressure in the system can be released. The cylinders have swivel caps at the top end of the piston to adjust to load contours and ensure cylinder stability. A built-in stop-ring prevents piston over-extension, keeping the cylinder centered and captive as the ram operates.
An electric pump pressurized the cylinders, and crews monitored girder elevation with lasers. When at the proper height, the hydraulic ram locking collars were screwed down and engaged, ensuring constant girder elevation. Locking collars allowed the crew to release hydraulic pressure and disconnect the pump.

Here's a brief summary of the rulings that have occurred through the first three rounds of the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club.
At this point, we have had a total of 203 rulings, most of which have come from two situations: Water Hazard Rule (72 times) and the Obstruction Rule (35 times).
Another rule that has come into play has been the Ball Unplayable Rule. This shouldn't be surprising with the plethora of trees around the course causing balls to end up in some peculiar locations.
The holes that have received the most action have been the second hole (29 rulings) and par-3 17th hole (35).
I would suspect that today's final round will be no different from the previous three days in terms of rulings. Let's hope for some great play and good golf for our final round! – Wendy Uzelac

Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker, Professor X, Mar-Vell, Richard Rider- Bring Them Back!!!
Uh... the current team is fine. I dont know who that new black girl is. She appeared out of nowhere, they didnt explain anything about her and she's just there being annoying with her voice. I'm sure i didnt miss an episode. I also dont like Wolf and the ball, but whatever.
In any case, Blue Beetle will be great. I'd also love to see Supergirl. Maybe Raven too?
On a semi-serious note, I'd love Damian to get sucked in a wormhole and end up in the past. His interactions with DickRobin would be priceless.
And... that's pretty much it from me.
That's Rocket, she's a Milestone character, I'm sure she'll get some focus in Season 2.
Also... Here's a list I compiled that includes new chars, aliens, ect.
New Characters
- Cassandra Sandsmark (Wonder Girl)--Episode 1
- Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle)
- Lobo--Episode 1
- Adam Strange
- Alanna Strange (?)
- Darla Dudley (?) (Mary Marvel?)
- Unidentified Glowing Man
- Glorious Godfrey
- Sardath
- Virgil Hawkins (Static)
Hero Emergences:
- Karen Beecher as Bumblebee
- Barbara Gordon as Batgirl
- Mal Duncan as Herald/Vox (revealed via WonderCon)
- Garfield Logan as Beast Boy
- Lagoon Boy
Alien Species:
- Czarnian (No point is plurals since Lobo killed the rest)
- Rannians
- The Reach (Blue Beetle's armor is a species of Reach)
- Dominators
- ???
- ???
- ???
- ???
- ???
Do you think you should include Bette Kane in the Hero Emergences list? Or has nothing been said to warrant that? Also I think Guardian should be put in as one of the potential identities that Mal Duncan might take.
Are the Dominators the white/grey looking aliens that you can see in the 26 second preview? (this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0S_OFmw0TI)
Or are those a different/new species? Also during the stills in the aforementioned preview that feature the mind-controlled Justice League members attacking aliens, there appears to be 1 or 2 different alien species.
Oh damn... not Beast Boy...
Why does this guy have to be in every teen group? He sucks (imho).
I think Starfire would be a great addition to the team and I mentioned this in another thread a while back. However, instead of making her attracted to Robin, I would instead have her and Aqualad develop feelings for one another. I think the two of them would be a great fit since their personalities are so different, but both of them are still warriors. He is calm under pressure and keeps his cool pretty much all the time. She however is extremely passionate and emotional. They are two very different, yet still very interesting interpretations of what it means to be a "warrior."
I say bring all these guys onto the team, break it into three groups, add another hour of DC Nation and add two more shows... Titans and Outsiders
Don't look to his early appearances. Check his later appearances, where he wasn't as awful a character. Especially his Johns TT appearances, where he was a member of the Doom Patrol. As a DP fan, I approved of that.
Though I do like his origin. An Archangel shows up, gives him a horn and that's that.

Boundary-pushing yoga
Fusion classes and offbeat techniques add a challenging dimension to traditional practice.
Wed Dec 29 2010
Cool yoga classes
RECOMMENDED: Fitness guide to NYC
Sexy Stretch at Crunch
On the brink of descending into erotic debauchery, this class reminds you why your hips are meant to swivel, dip, sink and thrust. Expect this class to open your joints, make supple what was rigid, and—above all else—get you in the mood without exhausting you (work out beforehand on your own to get loose). Dancer turned yoga instructor Kyra Johannesen leads this group (typically all women, though men are welcome too) through vinyasa positions fused with the sort of provocative maneuvers you might see performed by the Pussycat Dolls. Crunch Union Square, 113 Fourth Ave between 12th and 13th Sts (212-533-0001). Sat 1:30--2pm * Crunch Christopher Street, 152 Christopher St between Greenwich and Washington Sts (212-366-3725). Sun 11:30am--noon * Crunch Lafayette, 404 Lafayette St between Astor Pl and W 4th St (212-614-0120). Thu 6--6:30pm * crunch.com. Day pass $35, membership prices vary by location. TONY deal: Bring this article into any Crunch to redeem a one-week guest pass and one personal training session.
AcroYoga at Pure Yoga West
While your friends slog away on the treadmill, flipping through the sweat-moistened pages of celebrity tabloids, you could be flying, levitating and de-stressing: This class is named for its amalgam of classic yoga, acrobatics and Thai massage. Working in teams of three, you'll switch off as spotter, flyer (the one who's being lifted) and base (the one who's getting a workout). Be prepared to become more intimately involved with your classmates as you sling limbs together, pile atop one another and surrender your safety to strangers. 204 W 77th St at Amsterdam Ave (212-877-2025, pureyoga.com). Sat 3:30--5pm; initiation $200, unlimited monthly membership $145.
Antigravity Yoga at Om Factory
Feel a sense of nostalgia at this sleek but intimate Garment District studio, where Antigravity Yoga may induce childhood flashbacks of monkey bars and swing sets. Expect only a marginally taxing workout as you twist, flip and dangle precariously from silky-smooth hammocks suspended from the ceiling. Experiment with inverted maneuvers like "the mosquito," "vampire pose" and "cannonball," in which you hug your knees to your chest and swing upside down in deep arcs. You'll also practice some of the classics, like a modified, arm-punishing down dog, as you hang from the silks. You'll finish the class with a lengthened spine and a wicked head rush. 265 W 37th St at Eighth Ave, 17th floor (212-616-8662, omfactorynyc.com). Mon noon--1:15pm, 7:30--9pm; Tue--Thu noon--1:15pm, 7--8:30pm; Fri 2--3:15pm, 5--6:30pm, 7--8:30pm; Sat, Sun 6--7:30pm. Drop-in $17, unlimited monthly membership $165.
Rock Star Yoga at David Barton Gym
This high-energy class aims to get your heart racing by following a traditional vinyasa flow. You won't be expected to pull off any Mick Jagger--esque high kicks, but you will feel like you're performing at a show. That's thanks to the studio's gothic, exuberant atmosphere—featuring midnight-purple walls, a studio lit with at least 200 candles and skull-penetrating rock music. The result is that each warrior-one stance feels more like a declaration of your Ozzy awesomeness than a Zen-centering yoga position—even though it accomplishes both. Bring your game face, because this intermediate class is considerably demanding. 4 Astor Pl between Broadway and Lafayette St (212-505-6800, davidbartongym.com). Sat 5:30--6:45pm; unlimited monthly membership $125.
Zenergy at Reebok Sports Club/NY
Familiar positions are reimagined in this open-level, hot-blooded practice, with a vinyasa flow and Top 40 hits at its core: Utkatasana (chair pose), typically a slow-burning static position, becomes a glute- and quad-busting squat jump, and warrior two progresses to a series of lunges followed by the restorative triangle pose. Don't be afraid if you can't keep the rhythm during some of the more aerobic segments when it takes as much coordination as strength to keep up the pace, others in the class can't either. 160 Columbus Ave between 67th and 68th Sts (212-362-6800, mpsportsclub.com). Mon 11:15am--noon, Fri 7--8am, Sat 9:30--10:30am; unlimited monthly membership $209--$219 plus initiation fee.

There is something incredible about seeing friends from way back, with their own families. To see them happy, with beautiful children and a happy marriage. I think it's often a reminder of my own family waiting at home. At how much time has passed and what magic has been created.
Bultsma's you are a stunning family. There is clearly love and magic amongst you. True happiness. Becka, it's so good to be friends all grown up! Enjoy!

Graduate Studies Committee, 2013-14
Jeremy grew up in Maryland and received a BA in Mathematics and Philosophy at Yale. Over the past few summers, he has worked in a neuro-imaging lab in NIH, done research for Yale's Center for Environmental Law and Policy, reported for the New Haven Independent newspaper, and contributed to hyperbolic geometry research projects at the Experimental Geometry Lab at University of Maryland. However, nothing quite caught his interest like philosophy.
Jeremy was born in Lansing, Michigan to a pair of Spartans, which makes his affiliation with U of M a matter of some controversy within his family. Nonetheless, he remains a loving son (and cousin of 25), an avid long-distance runner, and (according to intra-family critics) a dexterous classical, jazz, and rock pianist with a soft spot for Chopin and Billy Joel.

Termite shields compared with chemical poisons, bait traps, & concrete encasement of foam: this article discusses the pros and cons of different methods used to avoid termite attack on buildings including structures whose foundations are insulated with Styrofoam™ or similar insulating board products that may form an attack pathway for insects. We describe what termite shields are, what they look like, and how and where they are installed. We compare the effectiveness of termite shields with termite bait traps and chemical pesticide barriers as methods for controlling termite damage at or in buildings. We also illustrate the careful use of solid concrete encasement as an approach to avoiding insect attack on a building through foam insulation. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. How to Avoid Termite Attack Through Foam Insulating Board
Answer: a DOW expert recommends chemical termiticide as an insect attack barrier around foam board insulated buildings What is a Termiticide? What's the difference between a termiticide (chemical treatment) & a termite shield?Termiticide, not a termite shield, is the solution recommended by Jerry Severson. Severson heads research into foundation insulation at Dow Chemical Company's Granville Research Center, in Granville, Ohio. Termites can burrow through many building materials, including all forms of insulation, and no mechanical guard offers complete protection from termites indicated Mr. Severson. Termite poisons improperly applied to the soil under a building can give off fumes that enter the home, its heating or air conditioning systems (duct work), and can make occupants sick. To avoid contaminating a building through improperly-applied termite chemicals, hire a reputable local pest control expert who is fully aware of the building's HVAC system design and the location of its components, and if the house is served by a private well, make sure that the well is adequately distant from any location where termiticides are to be applied. See Pesticides Contaminate House [PDF]. Termiticides are not normally applied to soils outside of a foundation surrounding a dirt crawl space, also because of the possible surprise entry of chemicals or fumes into the building through the crawl space soils. However special (more costly) methods may be used such as the excavation of a trench around the building, mixing the termiticide directly with the soil (making certain thereby that no chemical is escaping to where it does not belong), and the soil is then replaced in the trench. Also make sure that the termiticide chemical [and the solvent used to apply it] to be used in the soil is not one that can harm exposed insulation around the building's foundation. What is a Termite Shield and Do They Work to Stop Termite Attacks on buildings?As discussed in Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction: Also see TERMITE SHIELD Installation and also FLASHING WALL DETAILS for more information about installing termite shields
Below our termite mud tube photos show that a termite shield appears to have been installed along most but not all of the building foundation top. Or was it? We don't know if this is wall flashing that leaves sills exposed just under the wall edge, or whether the flashing extends across the foundation to the interior (as recommended). But our second termite photo (below right) shows a termite mud tube ascending the same foundation wall and passing under the termite shield. The shield makes it more difficult, but not impossible, for termites to attack a building. In general, termite shields should be a minimum of 6 inches above grade and extend out 2 inches on either side of the foundation at a 45 degree angle. In addition to making termite infestations visible, they also form a capillary break between the foundation and sill. Areas where a termite shield cannot be used, for example, where a concrete stairway abuts a foundation wall, are at high risk for termite entry. In termite-prone regions, the only reliable way to prevent termite damage is to use treated wood in critical locations and treat the surrounding soil with termiticide. See INSECT INFESTATION / DAMAGE for termite and other wood destroying insect information in depth, including termite inspection case reports, field photos and advice. More installation details for termite shields and other building flashing can be found at FLASHING WALL DETAILS. Readers concerned about termite damage associated with foam, fiberglass, or other building insulation materials should also see Insects & Foam Insulation. Also see TERMITE SHIELDS vs TERMITICIDE for a discussion of termite shields and insect attack on buildings using foam board foundation insulation. Termite Bait Traps: Other Approaches to Avoiding Termite Damage
Concrete Encasement of Foam Insulation as Termite Barrier
Foam perimeter insulation encasement: At a building slab perimeter, another approach to reducing the attack path for termites where foam insulating board is used at the slab perimeter is shown in our photo of a home being built in Minneapolis, MN. The builder has encased the foundation perimeter insulation in poured concrete, leaving about a 1/2" of solid concrete around the insulation. Cracks in poured concrete slabs, even very tiny cracks, can form an entry path for termites into the building. Quality of slab construction and other details can minimize this risk of insect attack, but it's also important to keep water away from the building - wet wood attacks insects. Construction details to reduce the risk of termite damage: include avoiding placing wood within 8" of the top of any soil, using caulking and flashing to be sure that building leaks do not wet framing lumber (making it attractive to termites), use of insect-resistant treated lumber for building wall sill plates, and similar measures. Good design and construction practices, combined with keeping water away from building wood, can make a significant difference in the risk of termite attack on a building. |

Rainmaking (ritual)
Rainmaking is an ethnographic term for rituals intended to invoke rain.
Among the most well known examples of rainmaking rituals are North American rain dances, historically performed by many Native American tribes, particularly in the Southwestern United States. Some of these traditions have survived to the present day.[1]
North America[edit]
Julia M. Butree (the wife of Ernest Thompson Seton) describes the rain dance of the Zuni, along with other Native American dances, in her book The Rhythm of the Redman.[2][3] Feathers and turquoise, or other blue items, are worn during the ceremony to symbolize wind and rain respectively. Many oral traditions of the Rain Dance have been passed down.[4] In an early sort of meteorology, Native Americans in the midwestern parts of the modern United States often tracked and followed known weather patterns while offering to perform a rain dance for settlers in return for trade items. This is best documented among Osage and Quapaw Indian tribes of Missouri and Arkansas.[citation needed]
Eastern Europe[edit]
Caloian, Dodola and Perperuna / Paparuda, among other terms, refer to a family of Slavic and Romanian rainmaking rituals, some of which survived into the 20th century.[citation needed]
