The Foothills Land Conservancy has achieved its goal of preserving 25,000 acres of East Tennessee land from development in time for the organization's 25th anniversary.
Bill Clabough, executive director of the group, confirmed the milestone Thursday, acknowledging that the final 1,898 acres are part of the Three Sisters development on Chilhowee Mountain northeast of Walland.
As 2009 neared its end, Foothills Land Conservancy was 1,455 acres from its goal of securing 25,000 acres against development by this year, Clabough said. The Three Sisters conservation easement was signed days before 2009 ended, according to documents on file with the Blount County Register of Deeds.
The 1,898 acres, representing nearly 40 percent of the total Three Sisters land, are on the north face of the mountain and visible from Heritage High School and U.S. Highway 321, he said. The development, held by the North American Land Trust, is a partnership that in 2007 announced it had purchased about 5,000 acres on the top of an eight-mile ridgeline that has a trio of peaks known as the Three Sisters.
The land conservancy plans a celebration for sometime this year to commemorate the preservation milestone.
"This will celebrate what we do, what we've done and what we hope to do," Clabough said.
Not counting the Three Sisters land, the land conservancy partnered with 16 landowners to preserve 2,510 acres against development in 2009. About 1,300 of those acres are in Blount County, Clabough said.
"We're excited that they (Three Sisters) decided to do that and partner in it," Clabough said. "It is a great and unique gift to Blount County."
He said, though, that "the real significant part is what they did. It means that ridge will never change."
Clabough added that he believes the next 25,000 acres of land placed under conservation easement will happen much more rapidly, within 15 years.
The Three Sisters purchase was a partnership of the Haslam family, owners of Pilot Oil; Sandy Beall, founder of the Ruby Tuesday restaurant chain; Brad Martin, former CEO of Proffitt's; the Clayton family, owners of Clayton Homes manufactured housing; and the family of Charlie Hicks, businessman and East Tennessee landowner.
Looking back at Foothills Land Conservancy
The primary method in which FLC works with land owners is to work with them on placing a 'conservation easement' on their property. This past year, FLC worked with 16 land owners to preserve 2,510 acres.
Land placed in a protected easement through Foothills remains in its natural state and cannot be developed, but owners do not give up title to their property - in fact they can continue to own, use, live, lease or donate their land. No tract is too large or too small for a conservation easement. As Bill Clabough, FLC's Executive Director, explains it, "This is a legal contract between a landowner and FLC describing activities that may take place on a property in order to protect the land's conservation value. Both parties have input into the contract's specifics."
Clabough also notes that property's environmental qualities are what make the 25,000 acres special. "We're talking about land that provides for rare and migratory wildlife, that offers views of the Smokies and adjacent foothills, 150 year old trees, and streams where the re-introduction of trout has taken place. These places are unique to our region and help us hold on to our rural character."
For landowners, like Joyce McCroskey of Blount County, signing a conservation easement "is worth doing, it's important. My late husband, David, and I have always been supporters of land conservation. We live in a special place and this is how I can help keep it that way."
FLC is currently in the planning stages for our 25 in 25 celebration with details to be announced in the coming weeks.
Description of 2009 Partnerships
Blount County
• 229 acres (Blount County)
This beautiful piece of property is located on a peninsula that extends into the Fort Loudon Lake. It has historically been a cattle farm, but in recent decades the management of the land has been dedicated to uses that are more beneficial to wildlife. Former crop fields are being converted to native warm season grasses and will make excellent habitat for birds and small mammal species. Located two miles from Friendsville, the property's acreage is approximately 15 percent woodland and 85 percent open fields. The surrounding water body provides superb habitat for migratory waterfowl, and the lake fringe and grassed fields provide high quality habitat for both resident and wintering birds.
• Mike and Kim Cook - 44 acres (Blount County)
This property is situated at the southeast region of Blount County and the southeast base of Chilhowee Mountain. A mixture of woods, pastureland, and streams comprise this small cattle farm. The property remains largely in a natural state with generous natural resources and is a safe refuge for most species of wildlife that are expected in the region, including game species such as deer, raccoon, turkey, and even black bear.
• Gail Harris - 318 acres (Blount County)
Gail Harris is no stranger to Foothills Land Conservancy, having served on FLC's board early on in the organization's development. In 2002, Gail and her late husband, Jim, partnered with FLC to place a conservation easement on a 105 acre tract in Blount County. This year, Gail decided that it was time to place an easement on her 317 acre working farm, located between Wildwood and Rockford. She notes, "This is something I can do to preserve my land, to be a good steward of what I have been given... conservation easements allow a land owner to provide lasting contributions to the community." The property boasts a cave, old tobacco barn, a dairy farm, as well as row crops, wildflowers, and 100-plus year old beech and oak trees.
• Charles Lunsford - 500 acres (Blount County)
Charles Lunsford and his two sons, William and Wesley, wanted to preserve their 500 acre property for future generations and in memory of their family members that owned the land before them. This included honoring Charles' late mother, Johnie Griffitts, a Blount County schoolteacher for over 30 years. The Lunsford tract is located on the U.S. 129 side of Chilhowee Mountain near Tallassee and abuts a portion of the Foothills Wildlife Management Area, which is owned and managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The land also borders the Tennessee Valley Authority's Tellico Reservoir and is in sight of both the Cherokee National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
• Joyce McCroskey - 220 acres (Blount County)
Joyce McCroskey's 220 acres are situated in West Millers Cove. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Foothills Parkway, Foothills Wildlife Management Area and the Cherokee National Forest are all large tracts of protected habitats within reach of wildlife from the McCroskey property. Approximately 2/3 of the land is forested and includes hardwoods such as oaks, hickory, maples, and tulip poplar. The site includes portions of Hesse Creek, two springs, and a small cave.
Knox County
• Charlie Barnett - 15 acres (Knox County)
This acreage is located on Keller Bend Road along Fort Loudon Lake. This largely wooded tract has one house and a barn. The property provides good habitat for both resident and migratory species and offers a woodland corridor on a peninsula, adjacent to open water. Most of the woodland is in second growth forest, but small portions contain large trees of oaks and hickories.
• Dan and Judy Batson - 5 acres (Knox County)
Dan and Judy Batson first learned of Foothills Land Conservancy a few years back through articles written in the local papers. One news clipping in particular caught their eye. It was a Knox County horse farm now protected from future development through an FLC conservation easement. The Batson's realized if their neighbors could place an easement on their property they might also wish to do the same. Dan and Judy recently decided to sign an easement agreement with FLC on a 5 acre parcel, purchased in the 1960s by Dan's parents. A unique aspect to this property is that the majority of the land resides under Fort Loudon Lake. For the Batson's, protecting the views and environmental values along with encroaching development and a substantial marina next door all contributed to their final decision. The property is situated on the point at Chota Marina.
• Rose Property - 67 acres (Knox County- Project of Legacy Parks Foundation)
Plans for this property include preservation of its ridge-top, use as a passive Knox City Park, and inclusion in Legacy Park's Urban Wilderness and Historic Corridor Project. The property is the most prominent rock bluff along Knoxville's south waterfront that is visible from Neyland Drive and downtown Knoxville.
• Seven Islands - 26 acres (Knox County- Project of Legacy Parks Foundation)
Plans are underway to utilize part of this 26 acre tract for a pedestrian bridge - a walkway that spans the French Broad River and will connect to Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge (SIWR). SWIR is a wildlife sanctuary that encompasses 360 acres. It's available for recreational use by the general public. Management of the SIWR refuge is a joint effort between Knox County Parks & Recreation and the Seven Islands Foundation.
Monroe County
• Winston and Jeanette Davis - 161 acres (Monroe County)
On December 12, 2009, Winston and Jeanette Davis, retired educators, placed 161.16 acres of their mountain land in Coker Creek, Tennessee, in an easement contract with Foothills Land Conservancy. The Davis property has a shared border with the Cherokee National Forest and was, interestingly, the scene of Civil War activity. Green slate was once quarried on part of the property and used to line the furnaces at the Tellico Iron Works. Unfortunately, this Tellico Iron Works was destroyed by General William Tecumseh Sherman on his march through the area to engage in the Battle of Knoxville. When Jeanette and Winston became the gifted, current owners of their mountain land treasure, they wished to preserve the land in its beautiful, unspoiled state. Part of their personal statement concerning their decision to place the land with the conservancy is as follows: "Whatever we do to help preserve nature in its state of finest glory is an ongoing gift to future generations of people." According to Clabough, Jeanette and Winston purposely planned to place the land in the conservation easement on Dec. 12 because it would have been the 73rd wedding anniversary of her parents, Earl and Marie Payne. "I believe placing the land in the stewardship of Foothills Land Conservancy would be pleasing to Jeanette's father because he loved the mountains so much," said Winston Davis.
• Patsy and Clifford Lynch - 130 acres (Monroe County)
Various portions of the Lynch property have been in Patsy's family for 96 years. It was Patsy's grandparents, the Pattersons, that originally owned the land. This tract provides an amazing view of Monroe County and the adjacent foothills to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Their property currently boasts several springs, an old barn, cattle, deer, turkey, red foxes and even hawks. When asked why it was important to sign an easement at this time in their life, Pasty Lynch responded that "everywhere we looked there are subdivisions. (Preserved) land needs to be left for everyone to see the animals and trees." The Lynch's recently hosted 38 family members for Thanksgiving and enjoyed sharing this open and protected space with their East Tennessee relatives as well as kin from Lafayette and Albany, Ga.
Sevier County
• 57 acres (Sevier County)
This FLC conservation easement lies within an extended and largely wooded Great Smoky Mountains system that is a valuable refuge and corridor for many native wildlife and plant species. The property is situated above Norton Creek - draining into the high quality stream that supports trout habitat - helping to maintain this riparian buffer. Minimizing the disturbance on the easement helps to assure protection of the creek for use by area wildlife and humans in the future. The upper reaches of Norton Creek, upstream from the property, have been extensively re-habilitated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the land owner, and others, as trout habitat.
• Bart Carey - 17 acres (Sevier County)
Located on Walden's Creek, this 17 acre easement will adjoin the 80 acre easement property previously donated by Bart Carey. Protection from commercial development and preservation of pastoral and ridge top views along Walden Creek Road helps to ensure this valley tract will stay 'as is' in perpetuity. Carey received a grant from the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program that provides for conservation-minded landowners who want to develop and improve wildlife habitat. Bart and his family have utilized the funds to add in wildlife food and water sources - building a pond and planting various native tree species.
• Ruth Hoglan - 6 acres (Sevier County)
Ruth Hoglan asked herself one time, "If I had all the money and choice where would I go in the world?" Her answer, "Stay right where you are." Ruth's 6 acre tract was once part of a much larger piece of land owned by her family since the late 1700s. So it's no surprise that she 'feels anchored here' and adds that 'nothing else could take it's place - nothing else could be as good'. This special easement signing was also in memory of her father, Orton Duggan.
• Marian Oates - 510 (Sevier County)
This special easement signing took place in June 2009, shortly before Marian Oates' passing. Marian not only placed a conservation easement on her property but also bequeathed the land to FLC. Now 510 acres of ridge tops and mountainsides will be protected in perpetuity. From atop the east side of Bluff Mountain pictures of civilization emerge from below - the twists of roads cut into the hills and building rooftops that reflect the shining sun. To the west, a different story emerges - a window into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with cascading views of Cove Mountain, Clingmans Dome, and the majestic Mount LeConte. Marian could also point out the former location of her family's old cabin and the long fallen hotel, once a favorite vacation spot for her grandparents back in the early 1900s. Called the Dupont Springs 'Cool Chilhowee Health Resort,' it touted the water as having strong mineral properties that "contained iron, lithia, and magnesia." It's this very hotel that inspired her grandparents and their son Frank, to consider the mountain as a permanent holiday spot. Over the next few years Frank developed a land acquisition plan to buy up tracts, gradually building up the necessary road systems. In early 1950s, Marian's father then purchased the very top of Bluff Mountain for $10,000 and with a bit of patience and much excitement he and his wife, Emma Ree Crooks Oates, built their dream retirement home in 1964.
• Mike Suttles - 206 acres (Sevier County)
Located at Walden's Creek, this farm includes a variety, quantity and quality of habitat to support a great diversity of native plant and animal species. The Suttles family settled on the property in the early 1800s with deed records dating back to the original Land Grants. While ¾ of the land is forested, approximately ¼ of the land includes a pasture along the creek that has supported a small herd of cattle for many generations. The Suttles farm is the last remaining working farm in the valley. Mature hardwoods such as chestnut oak, white oak, hickory, red and sugar maples, and tulip poplars that run along the ridges and mountain side contribute to the scenic views along Waldens Creek Road.

Compatibility: Upgrading WordPress to 3.3.1 & Keeping BuddyPress 1.5
This is a general shout out for anyone who may have already done this:
My current setup:
WordPress Multisite 3.2.1
BuddyPress 1.5
Custom Theme: Upstart Blogger Futurosity Magazine Theme
I'm considering upgrading to the latest version of WordPress 3.3.1 and wondering if it is compatible with BuddyPress 1.5?
Trying to decide how much time to set aside for working on this.
If I upgrade WP to 3.3.1 do I *have* to upgrade BP to 188.8.131.52 or will the WP upgrade not affect my current BP 1.5 installation?
If I do have to upgrade both, would that be like starting from scratch in making my theme compatible?

well My tractor is sunk, my corn field was under 3 foot of water and now my garden.
yes that is a gas pump to pump water out of the garden, that long line of water is where I planted blue corn I got from sonny
This is my other garden
what has not drowned from water has been eaten off or in half by the deer. Looks Like I will be planting almost 400 plants all over again. the only thing that has survived so far is my strawberries and potatos.

What You Need to Know Before Shooting Slow Motion with the FS700, and Some Recent Examples
If you already bought an FS700, or you've been waiting on the sidelines so far, there is a big issue with slow motion that many who've shot with Phantom cameras might already be familiar with: flicker. Now that film sets are littered with different types of fixtures, it's important to understand how shooting slow motion under different light sources can induce some amount of flicker. Certain fixtures produce more flicker than others (especially at different shutter speeds), but in the video below, Hello World Communications takes a look at some of the most popular fixtures for film lighting and how they deal with flicker. Also embedded below, check out some recent examples from Luke Neumann and Tony Reale.
All of these tests were shot at 240fps at 1080p (go to Vimeo and download for the cleanest file possible):
Obviously shooting in daylight shouldn't really cause any flicker as there aren't any electrical frequencies to deal with, but if you have to light, Tungsten may be the most consistent option across all brands. Many HMI and florescent fixtures produce flicker at varying degrees thanks to the ballasts that are used to limit the amount of current running through the lamp. It's certainly possible to find flicker even at normal framerates, it just depends on the fixture (usually florescent), age of the lamp, and whether or not it is working correctly.
Luke Neumann, a frequenter of this site, spent a few days with the camera and produced some interesting results on a very small budget. Here is the final product followed by his production diaries:
If you're wondering where you can find some sample files to play with from that camera, Luke has uploaded a few that you can find by heading on over to his site. If the website looks familiar, it's because we recently covered his Daily Freebie project where he is giving away some of his musical compositions for free throughout the month of July.
Tony Reale over at NextWaveDV has posted an ungraded action video of his own showing off the filmic results of the FS700:
Sony has truly lowered the bar for slow motion, and while it's likely we will see a lot more on the web over the next few months, it's another important step in the democratization of filmmaking. Even though one tool doesn't have to be good at everything, it's fairly convenient to be able to buy one camera that has a lot of dynamic range, is great in low-light, has a sharp image, and can record some spectacular slow motion.

- NextWaveDV – Analyze the Frame: Cinematic Sony NEX-FS700 Test Footage
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
This still remains one of the most interesting cameras to be released this year. Was just wondering, does anyone know when it will be officially released in europe? Most retailers I've seen either do not specify a release date or have a tenuous '25-30 days' margin.
Also, has anyone tried twixtoring the 240fps output to see the results? I've read that the final file produced is 60p with the footage already slowed down (something which effectively enables recording to an external device), which should yield fairly clean results if further slowed down using twixtor.
FYI, you'll find quite a few more video tests, samples, news and discussion on the Sony NEX-FS700 at its largest User Group:
Thanks for the shout out Joe. Good point about an all in one camera. The FS700 is solid across the board, some people just don't like the Sony image at all. I was really impressed and would love more time with it to see if a more "filmic" look is possible. Going from this back to the GH2 makes me realize just how much dynamic range it has though, it's pretty insane.
Luke, really nice slo-mo video! Entertaining as well. Looks like you guys had lots of fun. The FS700 is a very sweet camera for the money. Sony fixed the two obvious problems with the FS100 – built in ND's and SDI. The slo-mo is amazing for the price point. Even the 480 fps at 720P looks pretty good if you need it. I would love to see how well ultra slo-mo (1000 – 2000 fps) could be simulated using 240 fps and Twixtor. Much less frames to simulate than 60 fps. I enjoyed the diaries as well.
Thanks! Yeah, it was a blast for sure.
I love this camera. This is as big for filmmakers as the XL-1 was or the 5D. Really opens things up to be creative.
Here are a few more samples:
I have had the FS700 for over a month now and I love it more and more every day. Amazing quality compared to my DSLR. Here's my review with some test footage: http://rotierney.co.nz/?p=1568
Peter on 07.31.12 @ 11:56PM
Could someone please interpret the flicker video for us? I see flicker in the HMI version but not much on the other lights. I see the differences in blur (the fan especially) and strobing (the bubbles) from the different shutter speeds keeping the frame rate constant. I see how poor vimeo compression is. I see how nice tungsten lighting is, how kino overdoes the minus green in combatting their green spike, and how ugly LED arrays are.
Are there a lot of flicker differences my laptop isn't making clear over vimeo?
Peter, I had difficulty seeing distinct flicker as well. I'm sure that internet viewing is more forgiving of the flicker. When it's subtle, it can also be hard to notice flicker on the set, especially if the viewing monitor is small or there is a lot of ambient light falling on the monitor. Whenever a flicker situation is possible, I recommend looking at a static shot (no actors or movement) and study a waveform monitor or histogram. Look for vertical or horizontal "breathing." In the test video shown in this post, the HMI lighting "should" have the least flicker (other than tungsten) since square wave (flicker free) ballasts were used. Tungsten light is obviously the safest artificial light. However, it is not very practical in shots that cover a wider area. Large units like 5K's or 10K's are needed and they require more juice than household power can provide. Also, light "quality" can be compromised if only direct "hard" is used. HMI's with square wave ballasts could be the best lighting option for flicker "protection" and output efficiency. However, frame rates above 120 fps are more likely to have flicker. The best process is to test various shutter speeds and watch a waveform or histogram carefully. Shutter speeds that are multiples of 60 (hertz) should be the safest for high speed. Kinoflos also use square wave ballasts – but the are generally not bright enough at high speeds to be practical. For an excellent article about the "math" and cause of flicker issues, see excellent article by Art Adams: http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/aadams/story/rolling_shutter_and_flickering_hmis/
For what it is worth I did a shoot recently using Tungsten (Red Heads) and mixed with fluorescents (Kinos + ePhotonics) balanced to Daylight and some natural daylight. I experienced zero flicker. So I'm thinking it's more of a concern with HMI.
Geoff Longford on 08.2.12 @ 8:50PM
Fun video but what is it with you guys and your stinking guns.Surely you are not all that tiny in the gentlemen area.
It's not a pro gun video, they just looked cool in 240fps. Don't try and read between the lines in a video titled "Epic Slow Mo". That's your first mistake.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This formation's/climb's total lack of traffic and NE exposure shadowed by Dinosaur Mt. to the South and the Dreadnaught to the East means that it has plenty of lichen and a little friable rock. Solitude is virtually assured but so are some challenges that are not common on 5.4 territory. While this is an easy climb, it is for more seasoned climbers.
This route starts up a few meters South (left and above) of the very base of the North Ridge formation. The formation may strangely named, considering it actually forms the NW shoulder of the Dinosaur Mountain and comes out of the South end of the approach canyon.
I have NOT lead this climb, I have only soloed it. That said, a standard light rack with lots of long runners and a 60m or 70m rope should suffice to protect the climb as well as it can be protected. Gear will be only occasional and a fall ill advised, as is true for much of the less traveled flatiron territory.

- Baker says Phillips' return should be Sunday
- Cairo exits after straining left hamstring
- Worth noting
WASHINGTON -- As he pursued Xavier Nady's home run on Friday, Reds left fielder Ryan Ludwick missed it by thatmuch.Nady's pinch-hit drive off reliever Bill Bray in the eighth inning brushed Ludwick's glove at the top of the wall as it went out. Ludwick made it clear that he did not knock the ball over the fence -- it was already on the other side. "What happened when I went back was I didn't think I had to jump," Ludwick explained on Saturday. "My body hit the wall as I was reaching up. It jarred my arm just enough that I turned my glove a little bit. It caught the thumb on it and it just flipped off. [In hindsight], I would have jumped. I didn't think I had to jump." The solo homer by Nady made it a 1-1 game and would force extra innings before a 2-1 Reds defeat in 13. "I wouldn't say it was an easy one, but it wasn't an extremely hard play," Ludwick said. "It was one of those unfortunate plays, I guess."
Baker says Phillips' return should be Sunday
WASHINGTON -- Just itching to get to start a game again, Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips thought Saturday would be the day. Then, he saw manager Dusty Baker's lineup for the game vs. the Nationals.Willie Harris was leading off and playing second base. "I really thought I was going to play today," Phillips said Saturday. "I was really looking forward to it. I woke up with a smile on my face, and then found out I wasn't in the lineup. It hurt. But it's what is best for me. [Baker] has been around the game a long time, and he knows what's best for me." Phillips hasn't started since suffering a left hamstring cramp on Monday. He returned to action for the first time on Friday as a pinch-hitter, and struck out in the top of the 13th in a 2-1 Reds loss to Washington. Saturday should be the last day that Phillips sits on the bench, however. "That's what I told him in the beginning, that it would probably be [Sunday]," Baker said. Phillips entered the day batting .250 in five games this season. The Reds dropped three of the four games he's been out of the starting lineup. "Seeing the way we're playing and with me on the bench, I feel like I need to go in there," Phillips said. "I'm not 100 percent, but I can play. I can go out there and perform, regardless of the fact. No one on the team is 100 percent. I could go out there, play, and be comfortable. If I had to go from first to third, I feel like I can do that. If I had to score from second to home on a base hit, I can do that, too."
Cairo exits after straining left hamstring
WASHINGTON -- Reds utility infielder Miguel Cairo exited Saturday's game vs. the Nationals in the second inning because of a strained left hamstring. Cairo's return status is considered day to day by the club.Cairo started at third base in place of a resting Scott Rolen, and notched his first hit of the season with a one-out double to left field in the top of the second. Two batters later, Drew Stubbs drove him in with an RBI single to left field. Cairo scored with a slide into the plate, but reached for the hamstring on his way back to the dugout. "When I slid into the plate, I felt a big cramp," Cairo said. "We'll see how it feels tomorrow. It feels tight. Hopefully it's nothing bad."
Wilson Valdez replaced Cairo to begin the bottom of the second inning.
Worth noting
On the heels of a 13-inning game Friday, Baker made a few lineup changes for Saturday. Ryan Hanigan was originally slated to catch Reds starter Homer Bailey, but was rested after he caught all 13 innings the night before. Devin Mesoraco started. Scott Rolen was originally going to be rested Sunday but got Saturday off instead after he played every inning Friday as well.

Stop meddling
The mega flap over the National Security Administration's electronic surveillance rages on this week. The chief leaker, Edward Snowden is hied away in Hong Kong, President Obama has assured the American people that he's "only do this to protect the people", which is apparently how most Americans see it. Civil libertarians are outraged, the Republican "gotcha" media overjoyed and as there has been relative peace post 9/11 on the homefront (plus the realization that "online privacy" is mythical in and of itself), this too shall pass.
Too bad that it will. Not just because government snooping (and its corporate twin) are an ugly intrusion but really because the underlying story--also the story of 9/11 itself--will fade. The actual cause of Middle Eastern nationalism and the terrorism that comes with it isn't that "Muslims are crazy" or "they don't know how to be free and we must show them" but is actually the ceaseless meddling in the affairs of these nations that has characterized US and the UK's dealings with same for 100 years.
Overthrowing popular regimes hostile to American interests like Iran, 1953 or propping up the Shah, Mubarak, Saddam (a former "ally") or Assad has created legions of pissed off Middle Easterners (that at various points admired the US as the #1 nation in the world). High unemployment among the young plus ceaseless anti-American propaganda from their state run media's is part of it, but were it not for a few incontrovertible facts--The US' automatic backing of Israel in all matters as well as fealty to the Saudi royal family's autocracy has convinced millions of people that America is no friend to them at all.
Drone bombing ain't helping, either.
It isn't like they don't know why, either. Protecting the interests of petroleum companies has been priority #1--used to be called "protecting the oil supply" (the "Carter Doctrine"), but at this point, that is a major league load of bovine poop. The US gets less than 13% of the oil it uses from the Persian Gulf and is now a net exporter of petroleum. Therefore, the protection in question isn't for the US consumer or its security, but for oil company's revenues and profits--all subsidized by (you guessed it) American taxpayers.
Stop fucking meddling. Stop fucking meddling in their affairs--remove the US military from the Gulf (let the oil companies create their own security minus the military that's paid from our taxes), stop the bowing and scraping to Al Qaeda backing Saudis, stop reflexively assuming "Israel good, Arabs, bad" and acting accordingly and guess what? Out of sight, out of mind---the notion that "Muslims hate our way of life and want to wage a holy war against us" is belied by the simple fact that the world's largest Muslim nation has so far ignored most things American. "Live and let live" is the sanest philosophy one can embrace in one's personal life, why not in one's political life as well?
Where both Europeans and Americans have been meddling for centuries.
Shouldn't you leave then?
I agree! Once we stop meddling in their affairs, then they can focus fully on the more serious business of stoning homosexuals and adulterous women.
stricter limits on free speech than the US. Ironic huh?

So until this happens ... the state and corrupt will just continue. Don't expect the state to change ... if anything .. the releases show the lies, cover-up and deception sort of like what I have gone through telling the TRUTH against a corrupt and unaccountable system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo . Shall I show you what I receive in trying to CORRECT by filing COMPLAINTS and showing the RIGGED PROCEDURE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltu8nLcOr5A Think BOY SCOUTS, ALTAR BOYS, WMD's ... What was the CONSEQUENCE for the complicit PLAYERS? What was the consequence for those involved in the HELICOPTER MURDERS? NONE, NADA, ZIP?
So mind you ... THEY were ONLY doing their job ... just like Cheney, Bush, Yoo and others.
I mean isn''t the PRIDE COMMITTEE by refusing Manning and having more marshals than their bylaws allow ... NOT" JUST DOING THEIR JOB" for their MASTERS?
Yes let the LIES, DECEPTION and GAMES continue ...
and invasive tax regime.
Or is that somehow different?
Well, Fuck Me, Dick Cheney is the president, when did that happen?
Overthrowing popular regimes hostile to American interests like Iran, 1953 or propping up the Shah, Mubarak, Saddam (a former "ally") or Assad has created legions of pissed off Middle Easterners (that at various points admired the US as the #1 nation in the world)."
Prescient, Johnny Angel. You've got good analysis
the actual poll.
I found it on this site:
Evidently people were asked the question with the presupposition that the program would be effective if used to stop terrorism. What would the answer have been if people were asked the same question but informed that he program might be used to prevent terrorism or might be used to crack down on peaceful dissent within the country from whichever groups were opposed to the dominant power structure?
By the way, I noticed that the writer in the piece I've linked to remarked on how there was a perfect reversal of a partisan nature with regard to snooping, citing 53% Republicans in favor vs. 41% Democrats before, but 53% Democrats in favor now vs 45% Republicans. Note that it doesn't reflect a perfect turnabout, but rather says that either the Democrats are more partisan in their thinking... or that Republicans are more in favor of state spying capacity. (I'll pick the latter.)

Fellowship Program
Since 2006, the Fellowship Program at the Institute has created opportunities and spaces for new voices and research, and continues to offer a platform for cutting-edge work and ideas. The Fellowship Program supports the research, development, and dissemination/production of new creative and scholarly work. Recipients contribute to the College's goal in engaging in and creating academic and scholarly work in addition to artistic production by expanding learning opportunities for students and faculty through complimentary lectures, workshops, and roundtable discussions. Fellows include College faculty and students, and externally-based artists, scholars, and field leaders.
The early success of this program resulted in establishing a two-year joint fellowship with the Goodman Theatre in Fall 2007/Spring 2009. The Institute/Goodman Theatre Fellowship provided focused support for playwrights of color and created opportunities for diverse voices and cutting-edge work. Five artists and scholars were offered Institute/Goodman Theatre Fellowships between 2007 and 2009.
In 2009, the Institute was awarded a 3Arts Vision Award to support 2 fellows in 2009-2010, to be recognized as Institute/3Arts Fellows. This fellowship will support Chicago-based female artists.
Since 2005 Institute Fellows have garnered a number of awards, fellowships and grants which include: Guggenheim Fellowship, MacArthur Fellowship, Pulitizer Prize, 3ARTS Fellowship, Kresge Fellowship, Wachmeister Award, Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame, and Black Theatre Alliance Award.

the InnerActive sample code is working fine for me also. But in HandleCommandL or in rsss there is something wrong. Iam not getting the actual output.

I have the following problem. I created an application that needs to be Symbian signed because it needs some capabilities. This application needs a license file as well, which is bound to the IMEI of the phone. Since it is not possible to have each individual license file Symbian signed, I thought that I can selfsign the SIS file that contains the license. But if I try to install this SIS file, I get the following error message: "Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier".
What can I do to solve this problem?

Sightron SIII 1-7×24
Last year I wrote a review of the Swarovski Z6i 1-6×24 BRT riflescope and gave it the title of the best 3 gun scope in the world. I now have to clarify that title just a little. The Swarovski retails for $2500 and is worth every penny if you need the best; so it's the best 3 gun riflescope at any price. The Sightron SIII 1-7×24 is easily the best 3 gun scope or 1x variable scope in the world for under $1000 dollars. It's probably the best for under $1500, but I haven't tried some of the newest offerings that have come in around $1500. The good news is that the Sightron 1-7 can be bought for well under $1000. In fact, at the time of this writing, Optics Planet has it for $689 with free shipping.
The Sightron 1-7 pros are that it has glass equal to scopes that cost over $2000, great field of view, excellent eye relief, tracks like a target scope, has tool-less re-settable turrets, 30mm tube, over 100 MOA adjustment, true

Proggressive death metalcore. Between the Buried and me have managed to do it again, although this time it sounds completely different from their self titled cd. This cd makes your brain hurt when you try and comprehend how they go about writing songs like these. Their breakdowns are simply unsurpassed by anyone, mostly because there are so many in each song and couldnt possibly be more brutal. Never have I heard such a wide array of any lead vocalist's screams before, Tommy goes from the highest pitch scream and holds it for thirty seconds then right after immediately starts a grumbling noise thats almost is if he is about to throw up. Mark the new drummer is a little double kick happy, but you know you love it and how amazingly technical he is. At times youd think it was a machine playing drums theyre so fast. Paul Waggoner is god, he shouldnt be allowed to be that good at guitar, not to take away from the other guitarist but he is amazing. Listen to this cd and see them live, the best part about them live is that it sounds exactly the same as it does on the cd, tones and everything. Get this cd and their self titled cd if youre tired of listening to stuff that sounds the same, there is no other band that comes close to mixing such a wide variety of music types into one incredible cd.
Between the Buried and Me Biography - Between the Buried and Me Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Incorporating all styles of metal and hardcore with moshy double bass and spacey, poignant rock, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME'S dizzying opuses are sure to redefine pre-existing notions of "metalcore". BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME find a way to make heavy music refined yet powerful, inventive yet distinct, at times chaotic, then soothing. With a myriad of influences ranging from their hardcore and metal roots to artists like the Smashing Pumpkins and Dream Theater, "The Silent Circus" is a sincere, artistic album that will revolutionize the face of heavy music. After one extremely well received release on Lifeforce Records, the hype on BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME is spreading like wildfire; their Victory debut is proving to be one of the most anticipated, indescribable and groundbreaking metal/hardcore records of 2003.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
well, since many people look at what genre a band is put into, and pretty much decide then and there, whether they like them or not, to do so with this band would be unfair, as would be calling them a metalcore band, or even just progcore. I would have to say that this band is the one and only memeber of a group I'd like to call "Progressive Tech-Deathmetalcore". If someone described any band like that to me, I would undoubtedly check them out.That being said, I would like to describe the music more in-depth. This stuff is brutal, yet beautiful at the same time. Whether grinding away, or sttrumming out a ballad, they seem to feel perfectly at ease. In my opinion, to get the best feeling for the music, you've got to listen to the entire album all together. This record, is indeed, 53 minutes of pure songwriting genius. the whole CD is put together as if it were telling a story, with the songs seemlessly fitting together.The first track starts off with about half a minute of building guitar feedback, preparing you for the pummeling that your ears are about to take. for the first 3 and a half tracks, this is pure, blistering chaos. Then, halfway through the 4th track, the music takes a turn with beautiful melodic lead guitar work,and amazingly uplifting vocals. this leads into the "interlude" of the album, with track 5 being a short ambient track with acoustic guitars coming in near the end. followed perfectly by a strummed out ballad in track 6. Just when you think you're ready to crank the volume back up, Track 7 comes back with the full force that they displayed in the first few tracks. This track has some great melodic leadwork towards the end, as well, and then tracks 8,9, and 10 finish the bludgeoning that the first few tracks started.This stuff may be a bit of a difficult, even exhausting listen to the faint of heart, or those who are just getting into heavy music, but once you've given it some time, you will realize that this album is probably some of the most astonishingly beautiful music ever crafted. Who says heavy music can't be art?
This album… wait… this band pretty much owns everyone in the talent department. This is pretty much one of the most well put together albums I've ever heard… and I don't usually like stuff this heavy. First of all… everyone in the band has a copywrite on their instruments… and no one else should be allowed to play anything after what these guys do. The drummer is pretty much insane… and owns the double bass. The guitarists play some of the most retarded chord progressions and make them sound amazing. Insanely technical. The singer has one of the widest ranges I've heard… deep growls(which I'm not a fan of), high pitched screams, an amazingly beautiful melodic singning voice. On top of all this are pretty good lyrics and an insane live performance… if you don't know about BTBAM yet… you need to get to know them
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME – The Silent Circus
This is one of the rare 5 Stars I've given. This is an onslaught of Metal, Jazz, Chaos and Talent. It is such a well-crafted yet vicious album. The contrast between, beauty and chaos has only been surpassed by a few great artists. (Such as Opeth) From the opening track Lost Perfection to the closer, The Need For Repetition. This album holds your ears hostage. And regardless of how intense the aural attack is there is always a glimmer of beauty around the corner waiting to give your ears a brief rest before the chaos comes back in. There is little else I can say that hasn't been said.
Best Tracks: Lost Perfection, Camilla Rhodes, Ad A Dglgmut (<-Absolute Perfection)

"Was this review helpful?"
Describing Between The Buried & Me as "metalcore" would be a grave falsehood. Metalcore influences? Sure. But it would be impossible to overlook the various other influences the band incorporates into this album. The sounds of Radiohead, Death, metal Ulver, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Cryptopsy, and even some Emperor are evident. Does that mean that _The Silent Circus_ is a hackneyed attempt to create something "progressive"? No. In fact, that type of response couldn't be farther from the truth.The album begins with "Lost Perfection," fading into guitar feedback for 30 seconds or so before unleashing a fury of technical metal for another 40 seconds or so, and then erupting into a wonderful guitar melody. The song also features a "hand clapping breakdown" around the 3-minute mark, and then transitions perfectly into a thick southern metal groove that would make Pantera blush from envy.That sort of song structure could loosely typify BTBAM's overall sound – grinding, pulsing technical metal, thick grooves, then suddenly bursting into odd breakdowns, gorgeous melodies, or haunting soundscapes. In this respect, BTBAM bring about comparisons to the mighty Opeth. That comparison is probably just, due to the "night and day" aspect of the bands' respective music. But that's where the similarities end, really. BTBAM crafts darker, heavier, more intense "heavy" parts than Opeth could ever imagine, with some of the best vocals around, complements of Tommy Rogers (who also adds texture on keyboard); the band also creates some of the most ethereal musical moments I can imagine, featuring layers of keyboards, soft drum beats, soulful bass, and lightly strummed guitars, whereas Opeth relies mostly on beautiful acoustic arrangements to contrast their form of black/death metal. In comparison to the band's self-titled debut, this album is darker and heavier. The drumming is still absolutely OUTRAGEOUS, despite the fact that former drummer Will Goodyear has been replaced. New drummer (and sadly, now ex-drummer) Mark Castillo is a freaking monster. His talent is frightening. His drumming here is some of the most amazing I've heard. The guitar and bass playing here is still mind-blowing. Bassist Jason King lays down some of the coolest grooves ever, plays a solo or two, and plays PERFECTLY with the two guitarists, Nick Fletcher and Paul Waggoner. The trio is one of the most original and exciting I've heard. In addition to the chilling death vox, vocalist Tommy Rogers is also capable of some of the most breathtaking clean vocals this side of Mikael Akerfeldt. _The Silent Circus_ is definitely one of the most "progressive" albums I've heard, as well as a new all-time favorite album of mine. There is no band I know of right now that makes music as engaging, fresh, and exciting as BTBAM. Buy this or perish, sweater monkeys.

After a slow start, the Philadelphia Flyers have settled in, and entering the third period, they've worked a 1-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead over the New Jersey Devils. Philadelphia actually took a 2-1 lead on two quick goals from Danny Briere and James van Riemsdyk about midway through the second period.
Briere's goal was a breakaway off a beautiful pass from Jakub Voracek. van Riemsdyk's goal? Kinda sorta Martin Brodeur's fault.
New Jersey tied the score about five minutes later when a Travis Zajac shot just barely trickled through the pads of Ilya Bryzgalov and across the goal line, and that's how the teams entered the second intermission. But in the third period, the Flyers have completely controlled the play. They've drawn penalties with their tenacious forecheck, and one of those penalties turned into a Claude Giroux goal. What a goal it was.
Brodeur has been solid in Game 1, but there might not be a goaltender in the league that can stop a shot with as much zip on it as Giroux's had. The assist from Kimmo Timonen put the puck right in Giroux's wheelhouse, and he couldn't have taken a better shot.

Gregory Canyon Announcements
On December 11, 2012, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District released the Gregory Canyon Landfill Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for public comment.
(A copy of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is available at http://www.pcrnet.com/GC/DEIS/_Start_Menu.html)
The comment period for the DEIS closed April 15, 2013
On August 1, 2011 the Director of the Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) made the decision to issue the new Solid Waste Facility Permit for the Gregory Canyon Landfill. The Decision Document and associated Staff Report can be viewed and downloaded using the links provided above.

On July 15, 2011 the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) concurred on the new solid waste facilities permit for the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill in San Diego County. CalRecycle concurred with the San Diego County Local Enforcement Agency that all conditions for the permit were met and that the proposed facility is in compliance with the state standards for solid waste handling and disposal that are enforced by CalRecycle. The permit is only one of several requirements needed to move ahead with the Gregory Canyon Landfill. Groundwater and protection of the San Luis Rey River that runs near the proposed landfill are within the purview of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board, and will be considered separately by that agency. The decision by CalRecycle can be found under the Request for Action link at http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Actions/PublicNoticeDetail.aspx?id=436&aiid=423.

The County of San Diego, Department of Environmental Health (DEH), Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill. The proposed 1,770 acre Gregory Canyon landfill site is currently owned by Gregory Canyon Ltd., the project applicant. The landfill site is located in northern San Diego County on State Route (SR 76), approximately three miles east of Interstate 15 (I-15) and two miles southwest of the community of Pala. The site is adjacent to the San Luis Rey River and lies along the western slope of Gregory Mountain. Maps that show the vicinity and the location are available.
The Director of the LEA is the decision maker for the lead agency. On February 6, 2003, Mr. Erbeck, as the Director of the LEA, certified that a final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for this project had been completed in compliance with the CEQA. That certification and certain related actions were challenged in a Superior Court action entitled Riverwatch et al. v. County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health et al., case number GIN038227. On January 20, 2006, the Honorable Michael Anello issued a Preemptory Writ of Mandate directing the County of San Diego to set aside the February 6, 2003 certification and certain related actions.
The Court further directed the County to correct three identified deficiencies in the 2003 Final EIR, related to traffic, water supply, and biological mitigation. In response, additional analysis of these issues was performed, additional mitigation was identified, and a Revised Partial Draft EIR was prepared and made available for public comment. LEA staff evaluated and responded to all comments received, and a Revised Final EIR was prepared. The Revised Final EIR consists of the 2003 Draft Environmental Report (DEIR); the March 2007 Revised Partial Environmental Impact Report (RPEIR); Comments and Recommendations on the July 2006 Revised Partial Draft Environmental Impact Report (RPDEIR) circulated for comment in July and August of 2006; and LEA responses to significant environmental points raised in those comments and recommendations.
On April 30, 2007 a Staff Report and the completed RPEIR, was submitted to Gary Erbeck, the Director of LEA, for his review. As required by CEQA the LEA responses to comments were mailed (April 30, 2007) to the Public Agencies who had provided comments on the 2006 RPDEIR. On May 31, 2007, the Director made his Decision on the Revised Final EIR for the Gregory Canyon Landfill that the Revised Partial Draft EIR for the Gregory Canyon Landfill with associated comments and responses to comments had met the direction of the court.
On February 11, 2008, the San Diego Superior Court issued a decision in Riverwatch v. County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health. This decision upheld the additional environmental analysis included in the Revised Final Environmental Impact Report for the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill related to traffic and biological mitigation. The environmental analysis for the water supply (related to the use of reclaimed water) was found to be incomplete. The decision will require additional environmental analysis for the use of reclaimed water.
In response to the Court's order, the LEA staff did additional analysis. Baseline recycled water supply and use conditions were determined, and scenarios that added the Gregory Canyon Landfill to that baseline were defined and quantified. The impacts from recycled water deliveries to the landfill site on other Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) recycled water customers were then determined as required by the Court's order. The results of this analysis can be found in the Addendum to the Certified Final Environmental Impact Report (Recycled Water Addendum).
The Recycled Water Addendum concludes that there is adequate recycled water to meet the demands of OMWD's existing customers or existing uses of recycled water after including deliveries to the landfill site, and that the OMWD is able to provide 193 acre feet per year (AFY) of recycled water to the landfill site without causing a significant impact to its existing customers or existing uses of recycled water. Based on this information presented in the Recycled Water Addendum, no significant environmental impacts that were not identified in the 2003 FEIR or the Revised FEIR would result, and no previously identified significant impacts would be substantially more severe in light of this analysis.
On August 8, 2008, Gary Erbeck, as the Director of the San Diego County Local Enforcement Agency issued a Decision which adopted the Recycled Water Addendum.
On November 20, 2008, the Superior Court dissolved the Preemptory Writ. Based on its review of the environmental documentation provided and the arguments of the litigants, the Court concluded that the County of San Diego Local Enforcement Agency had met its obligations under CEQA.
Riverwatch et al. v. Olivenhain Municipal Water District et al.:
On January 9, 2009, the 4th District Court of Appeals in Riverwatch et al. v. Olivenhain Municipal Water District et al. (Case No. D052237) issued an order affecting a proposed water supply for landfill construction and operation. The County and the LEA are not parties to this lawsuit. The appeals court directed the trial court to issue a writ, ordering the Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) to set aside its approval and execution of a water supply agreement for the landfill and to reconsider that approval after consideration of a legally adequate EIR for the Landfill project.
On May 13, 2009 the Olivenhain Municipal Water District board voted to not supply recycled water to Gregory Canyon. The operator therefore had to identify another source or sources of water, and the County had to complete additional CEQA analysis concerning those sources.
Proposed changes to the project were described in a recent submission to the County of San Diego's Local Enforcement Agency (LEA). Those changes included measures to reduce water use at the landfill site, greater use of on-site water sources that was proposed in the RFEIR, project design features to ensure that on-site water is used in a manner consistent with applicable California water law, and new arrangements for trucking recycled tertiary-treated effluent to the landfill site as necessary. Additional environmental review was conducted to identify the potential environmental effects of those project changes.
This analysis addressed the potential impacts of extracting on-site water as well as potential impacts from the transport of recycled water from the SGVWC facility in South El Monte to the landfill site. Potential impacts from the construction and operation of additional wells and the use of a soil sealant were also evaluated. The results of this analysis can be found in the 2009 Water Supply Addendum. The Addendum and all the Appendixes can be reviewed at Complete 2009 Water Supply Addendum.
The 2009 Water Supply Addendum concludes that the use of on-site water would not result in significant hydrogeological impacts and that the construction and operation of additional wells would not result in significant air quality impacts, health risk impacts, noise impacts, or significant impacts to water resources or biological resources. Furthermore, the use of a soil sealant would not result in significant impacts to water quality or biological resources. Finally, the transport of recycled water from South El Monte to the landfill site would not result in any new or substantially different traffic, air quality, health risk or noise impacts not discussed in the 2003 Draft EIR or RFEIR.
The 2009 Water Supply Addendum concludes that with the combination of riparian underflow, percolating groundwater, trucked recycled water and on-site storage, the landfill has demonstrated a likelihood of adequate water supplies being available for construction and operation. On January 7, 2010, Gary Erbeck, as the Director of the San Diego County Local Enforcement Agency issued a Decision which adopted the 2009 Water Supply Addendum.
The analysis of impacts to biological resources in the 2003 Draft EIR and RFEIR included a discussion of waters on the landfill site subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) as well as other state agencies, the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB) and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). Those documents stated acreage figures for jurisdictional waters, based on agency determination where those had been made and on assessment conducted for CEQA purposes. The LEA's understanding of the water that other agencies were likely to consider jurisdictional has evolved in minor ways over time, as a result of new regulations, policies and agency practices. However, these changes were not quantitatively significant, and were not based on official agency positions. On January 13, 2010, the ACOE issued a revised jurisdictional determination, stating for the first time that it considered much of the drainage in the main stem of Gregory Canyon to be waters of the United States.
The 2010 Addendum was prepared to respond to these events by providing the most up-to-date information available on the scope of federal and state jurisdiction over waters on the landfill site, and to analyze any impacts arising from the updated information. The 2010 Addendum was prepared with consideration of the 2003 Draft EIR, the RFEIR, 2008 Addendum and the 2009 Water Supply Addendum. The additional analysis performed as part of the 2010 Addendum showed that no significant impacts would result, which means a supplemental or subsequent EIR cannot be required. CEQA does not require that addendums to certified EIRs be circulated for public comment. On May 7, 2010, Jack Miller, as the Director of the San Diego County Local Enforcement Agency issued a Decision which adopted the 2010 Addendum.
Trial court rulings discharging the writs issued in CEQA litigation were appealed. In both cases the trial court's actions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals, with the final such ruling issued on March 30, 2010. Petitions for review by the Supreme Court of California were filed, but denied.
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE) has completed (October 2009) installing a natural gas pipeline through the Gregory Canyon, Ltd. property to support a small power plant (Orange Grove, http://www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/orangegrovepeaker/index.html) that will be constructed nearby. The California Energy Commission is the permitting agency for these activities. More information on the project and the decision process for locating the plant and the pipeline can be found on the Energy Commission web site for the project (Orange Grove).
On July 27, 2007, a solid waste application package for a modified permit was received by the LEA.
On August 27, 2007 the LEA determined the Gregory Canyon Landfill solid waste facility permit application package to be complete and correct.
On September 26, 2007, in accordance with the Public Resources Code 44008, the applicant waived the LEA statutory timeline. This waiver of statutory timeline granted the LEA an additional 30 days in its determination of whether the permit is to be processed as modified or as a revision.
On October 15, 2007, the LEA determined that the permit application package would be processed as a permit modification.
Since this time the applicant provided additional waivers of the statutory timeline on the following dates: October 25, 2007; December 21, 2007; January 17, 2008; March 20, 2008; April 28, 2008; June 9, 2008; August 8, 2008; October 30, 2008; January 12, 2009; February 19, 2009; May 18, 2009; September 1, 2009; November 23, 2009; and, February 1, 2010.
On January 26, 2009 a lawsuit was filed against the County of San Diego and Gregory Canyon Ltd. (Case No. 37-2009-00050584-CU-MC-NC). The plaintiffs (Riverwatch and the Pala Band of Mission Indians) asserted that the Solid Waste Facility Permit for the landfill had been rescinded and therefore could not be modified. The case was heard in a bench trial on May 27, 2010. On June 14, 2010 the Superior Court issued a decision. The court stated that the County could not treat the permit as valid and existing, and could not modify or revise Solid Waste Facility permit No. 37-AA-0032 without first reconsidering the issuance of the Permit. The court further stated that it would issue a final judgment and injunction in the case. In response to this decision, the applicant has withdrawn its application for a modification of Solid Waste Facility permit No. 37-AA-0032. The LEA will not treat this permit as valid for purposes of any approvals the LEA could issue under the permit, or any enforcement action that would be based on the permit. On July 6, 2010 the final judgment was issued.
On June 25, 2010 a solid waste permit application package for a new permit was received by the LEA. The LEA was required by regulation to review the application package for completeness within 30 days of receipt. The LEA determined that the application package was complete on July 23, 2010.
On August 5, 2010, the LEA rescinded its completeness determination on the permit application package including the Preliminary Closure and Postclosure Maintenance Plans. Also on August 5, 2010 a request was submitted by Gregory Canyon Limited to accept the June 25, 2010 application package as incomplete in accordance with 27 CCR 21580. The LEA accepted the package as incomplete. The applicant had until February 1, 2011, to conform the application to the requirements in Title 27, California Code of Regulation §21570. Revisions were submitted by the applicant.
On February 1, 2011 the LEA determined that the application package was complete and correct. A public informational meeting was held February 23, 2011 in the Community Room at the Fallbrook Public Library.
On March 18, 2011, pursuant to the Public Resources Code 44008(a), the applicant Gregory Canyon Ltd. (GCL) waived the statutory timeline for the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) to make a decision to issue or not issue a new Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) for the Gregory Canyon Landfill.
On April 26, 2011, pursuant to the Public Resources Code 44008(a), the applicant Gregory Canyon Ltd. (GCL) again waived the statutory timeline for the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) to make a decision to issue or not issue a new Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) for the Gregory Canyon Landfill. The deadline for this decision was extended to May 13, 2011.
On May 13, 2011, the LEA forwarded the permit application package to CalRecycle for concurrence.
On July 18, 2011, pursuant to the Public Resources Code 44008(a), the applicant Gregory Canyon Ltd. (GCL) waived the statutory timeline for the Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) to issue a new Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) for the Gregory Canyon Landfill. The extended deadline for this action is August 1, 2011.

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott offered a brief moment of levity when asked how he balances the rigors of coaching in the NFL with a healthy lifestyle.
"I've already lost my hair," McDermott, 39, said. "What's next?"
After a weekend during which two NFL head coaches suffered scary episodes, members of the Panthers' staff took a moment to consider their lifestyle choices Monday.
"It's a hard work-life balance. It's hard. You can overdo it easily," McDermott said. "We're all no different, we can all overdo it. When you love what you do, and you know what it takes to get the job done, it's easy to overdo it. You try to find that fine line between that work-life balance."
Former Panthers coach and current Denver Broncos coach John Fox felt light-headed this weekend while playing golf in Charlotte, and because of an existing heart condition, doctors requested he have surgery to replace an aortic valve. Broncos team vice president John Elway said the surgery Monday was successful and Fox, 58, is in recovery.
Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak collapsed at halftime of Sunday night's Indianapolis game and had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. According to an ESPN report, doctors are conducting tests to see if Kubiak, 52, suffered a stroke.
The health scares to his fellow NFL coaches had Panthers coach Ron Rivera taking stock in his own health – and noting he could stand to lose a few pounds.
"This is a tough position," Rivera, 51, said. "It's a tough job, but it's all part of it. The thing you have to do is be mindful of your own health and personal well-being. You can't worry about it, you just have to do the best you can to stay healthy.
"It's tough, and you feel for those guys because they're good people. We'll have them in our thoughts and prayers."
Coaches, like many professions, are known to put in more than 40 hours a week. McDermott said when he was a coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles, he used to sleep at his office. Offensive coordinator Mike Shula said he knows he needs to eat healthier.
Rivera, a former Bears defensive coordinator, said that during Chicago's Super Bowl run in 2006 he wouldn't see his daughter awake on most weeks until Friday.
But all three coaches were quick to point out they aren't the only ones with tough jobs.
"In all honesty, I coach a game," said Rivera, who added that the Panthers, like many teams, require coaches to have yearly physicals. "I know it's a very serious game, there's a lot of money involved and a lot of other things. You've got people's livelihoods and families riding on decisions you make, but at the same time, I know there are other people that are in far more stressful jobs than I am."
Two weeks ago, when the Panthers were preparing for St. Louis, Rivera battled flu symptoms and missed Saturday's walk-through practice. Following the Oct.24victory against Tampa Bay, the coach gave the team and his staff Sunday off.
The players again were off Monday, aligning with the team's usual routine of giving the players the day off after a victory. Rivera said that allows players to rest and heal while giving the coaches a small reprieve.
"I learned to be effective when the players are in the building, that's the most important thing," McDermott said. "It's not what I know. I can sit here and watch film all night. It's what they know and what they can execute on Sundays. Like I expect them to be at their best on Sunday, I have to be my best also."

Chris Stamey Radio
From his tenures with the Sneakers and the dB's on through to his subsequent solo projects, singer/songwriter Chris Stamey remained a linchpin of the jangle-pop renaissance. Born December 6, 1954 in Chapel Hill, NC, he was raised in the Winston-Salem area, and alongside longtime friend and collaborator Peter Holsapple, he first surfaced in 1972 in the short-lived Rittenhouse Square, which issued its sole LP the following year. While attending the University of North Carolina in 1975, Stamey teamed with drummer Will Rigby to form the cult favorite power pop combo Sneakers; later joined by guitarist Mitch Easter -- the future Let's Active frontman who would go on to emerge as one of the era's premier producers. The group traveled to New York City in 1976 to appear at the famed Max's Kansas City but dissolved soon after, at which time Stamey returned to the Big Apple to set up his own label, Car Records. In addition to issuing the posthumous Sneakers collection In the Red in 1978, Car also issued the magnificent "I Am the Cosmos," the lone solo single of ex-Big Star mastermind Chris Bell; concurrently Stamey played live with Bell's onetime Big Star partner Alex Chilton, and in 1977 issued a solo single, "The Summer Sun." When Rigby and bassist Gene Holder relocated to New York, Stamey joined them as the dB's, releasing the 1978 single "If and When" before expanding to a four-piece with the addition of Holsapple. Although the dB's quirky yet melodic approach anticipated the emergence of the southern jangle-pop explosion, the band never earned the same attention afforded to acts like R.E.M. -- initially, they couldn't even land an American record deal, and their first two albums (the much-acclaimed 1981 efforts Stands for Decibels and Repercussion) appeared only in Britain. Stamey left the dB's in 1983, issuing the solo LP It's a Wonderful Life later that same year; after issuing 1984's Instant Excitement EP, he recorded and toured with the Golden Palominos, squeezing in the Christmas Time mini-album in 1986. A year later Stamey signed with A&M to make his long-awaited major label debut with the superb It's Alright; despite uniformly solid reviews, the album made almost no commercial impact, and he spent the next several years as a producer and guest musician, completing an album which A&M reportedly rejected. The LP finally appeared on Rhino in 1991 under the title Fireworks; that same year, he reunited with Holsapple for Mavericks. For 1995's The Robust Beauty of Improper Models in Decision Making, Stamey made a radical shift away from his pop past, teaming with cornetist/guitarist Kirk Ross for an exercise in free improvisation. Stamey spent the remainder of the decade focusing on producing records for other artists at his Modern studio in Chapell Hill, N.C, but returned to his own recording career with 2004's Travels in the South. Less than a year later, Stamey had another new album ready for release, a collaboration with Yo La Tengo and Tyson Rogers credited to the Chris Stamey Experience and titled A Question of Temperature (2005). ~ Jason AnkenyPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

This mission of this site is to promote the fund raising effort of Rising Hope Farms to build an indoor riding arena so our special riders can enjoy the benefits of therapeutic riding year-round.
This is also the place to find news about recent fund raising events, see who's contributed, and find out how you can help change some very special lives. On the photos page you can see for yourself the joy and wonder of what is Rising Hope Farms. Please make sure to go to the Contribute page and help us serve these wonderful children!
RHF needs volunteers!
The winter is upon us at Rising Hope Farms, but the work goes on! We are activley recriuting volunteers for our upcoming season. Open House and Volunteer training is soon, so please visit our Volunteer page now to get signed up!
Meet Gina
Rising Hope Farms is proud to introduce a wonderful writer and promoter to the RHF family of gifted volunteers. She is also a rider with some very special needs. Please follow Gina as she discovers the joys of theraputic riding and rediscovers herself. Her blog can be found here.
Rising Hope Farms is now on Facebook, Instagram (@risinghopefarms) and Twitter (@thrushadowseyes). Follow us on all three today!
We are so glad you are here!
This mission of this site is to promote the fund raising effort of Rising Hope Farms to build an indoor riding arena so our special riders can enjoy the benefits of therapeutic riding year-round.
So what is Rising Hope Farms?
Rising Hope Farm & Horses for Hope are ministries that provide a safe and inspirational environment to interact with horses. Through these ministries, our goal and prayer is that God will use this facility to provide fun, peace and healing for all involved. We serve as non-profit therapeutic riding facility and use equestrian activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of those with disabilities. Therapeutic riding is also an opportunity for education and recreation that otherwise may not be available.
What is Equine Facilitated Therapy?
Therapeutic riding uses equine-assisted activities for the purpose of contributing positively to cognitive, physical, emotional and social well-being of people with disabilities. Therapeutic riding provides benefits in the areas of therapy, education sport and recreation & leisure. Throughout the world, there are thousands of individuals with special needs who experience the rewarding benefits of horseback riding. A disability does not have to limit a person from riding horses. In fact, experiencing the motion of a horse can be very therapeutic. Because horseback riding rhythmically moves the rider's body in a manner similar to a human gait, riders with physical disabilities often show improvement in flexibility, balance and muscle strength. More...
So why do we need an indoor arena?
Rising Hope Farms is located in Claremont, North Carolina where the climate is world renown for it's healing properties (nearby Catawba Springs was THE place to come for what ailed you in the 1920's). For eight months every year, Rising Hope Farm is filled with the spirit of His healing. Weak muscles are made strong, backs straightened, confidence regained. Bonds are formed between riders and volunteers that are not soon or easily broken. And even though the winters are relatively mild, the weather is too harsh for our precious riders outdoors. Even our love can't keep them warm enough to continue the healing our equine partners provide them. Through the winter months, everything that was gained in the previous 8 months is slowly lost. The rider's strength, balance and confidence, worked for so hard over the summer, weakens without the stimulation riding a horse provides.
In order to continue riding therapy year round, Rising Hope Farms must build an indoor arena. As a charitable ministry, we solely depend on donations and volunteer support. Our riders depend on you. And us. More...
Rising Hope Farms Riding Schedule 2014 Coming Soon!
