~ Attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller, re: Wikipedia
Just in time for Independence Day, or whatever you want to call it, I have returned to a theme that periodically troubles me. As a staunch anarcho-capitalist (market anarchist, radical libertarian, [place your favorite phrase here]) with more than a little affinity for the "black protest" movement, I sometimes wonder if I am doing all I can for the future of freedom.
This curiosity is fueled, in no small way, by the kinds of questions that I suspect many a libertarian (among others) periodically asks himself. When will we see an end to the coercive state? When will a critical mass of society embrace what Rothbard called "methodological individualism"? Maybe even more importantly, am I doing all I can to bring us closer to that point, sooner versus later?
That last question springs from my history in activism, the tried-and-true belief that one can do something, that one should do something, to help the process along. No one wants to find himself repeating Pastor Niemöller's lament! At the same time, no one is under any obligation to become a martyr. As a colleague and fellow LRC essayist told me recently:
"Obviously, as a libertarian, I personally have a passion for some degree of u2018activism' and u2018involvement,' of thinking about these matters [of how to create change in our society.] I even think there is some duty to educate yourself so that you can't plea ignorance as a defense — u2018I didn't realize that when I advocated taxes it meant stealing!' I do admire people who are willing to fight hard for liberty. Such people are essential. On the other hand, there is no obligation to be a martyr. I see no problem with keeping one's head down and making do within the rules of the existing system, to try to eke out the best life possible to oneself and one's family given the current system."
Indeed he is correct. One's first responsibility must be to one's family and one's own survival. Any other action could rightly be construed as foolhardy.
That point accepted, at what point does one move away from simply "keeping one's head down" and toward turning a blind eye to that which is obvious? Is there some point at which one must realize that keeping his nose clean only prolongs the abuse? I wish I had a definitive answer to that question. As I mentioned in a previous essay, either way, remaining silent is just about the last thing I'd be comfortable doing.
It is relatively obvious that we here in Amerika benefit from the policies of our gubmint, even while we are simultaneously ripped-off by that same gubmint. (Two for the price of three?) It is also relatively obvious, nearing the point that even Ray Charles could have seen it, that our government takes part in some rather despicable activities, both here and around the globe, without even our tacit approval. Certainly this is, or should be, unacceptable. Nothing brings these rather esoteric points home like a little personal experience.
Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go Outside
Very recently, on the way back from a trip home to North Carolina, my kids and I were traveling on Route 87 toward Fayetteville, NC. It was typical of North Carolina roads, long stretches of asphalt in the middle of nowhere, with corn or tobacco on either or both sides. Up ahead I saw a roadblock. It was just a couple of sheriff's patrol cars, stopping every car in both directions. As the car ahead of me pulled up, I figured I'd get a jump on the game and pulled out my wallet, taking out my license and planning to have it ready.
The officer motioned for me to pull up. I stopped next to him and he said, in one of those typical, "Smokey and the Bandit" voices, "License please sir." I gave it to him, and he examined it in the way I've seen so many times before. He studied it slowly, as if he just knew a Negro like me, driving a late-model car in the middle of nowhere could only be up to no good. (A line from Jay-Z's "99 Problems" is appropriate here, but I'll save it for another time.) After this brief pause, he says something along the lines of, "Mr. Alston…is it not…law in New York State that everyone…must wear their seat belt?" I was, at first, puzzled. Huh? What the heck was he talking about?
It suddenly dawned on me that I had taken off my seat belt to get out my wallet! So I told him so, my daughter and I actually saying, "get out his wallet" at almost the same time. He was unimpressed. He just waited for my answer. I said, "Yes." (I don't recall if I said "sir" or not.) He then said, and I kid you not, something along the lines of, "Well…then I suggest…you put yours on then." He continued to hold my license and gaze at me with an "I'm in charge of you, n*&ger" look on his face. I put my seat belt on, and he handed my license back. We drove off. My kids then heard a line of curse words come out of my mouth that I hope my wife never finds out about. (I suspect though, that my Dad would be proud!)
Was he trying to make sure I was safe? Of course not. That pompous so-and-so was only trying to make sure, darned sure, that I knew he was in charge of me. That's the same crap that the TSA pulls every time anyone goes through an airport checkpoint, and it viscerally, negatively, affects me to even think about it.
Hey, I realize that I may be over-reacting. (I even heard from another libertarian that it was my choice to get upset. I could have selected another response. Maybe I'll whistle a happy tune next time, probably "Dixie" or the theme from "Deliverance" or something.) We should not be confused about one thing however, and that is simply this: We've got people with barely the qualifications to handle valet parking at a pig picking acting like they are members of some kind of elite Special Forces unit, all because the State — itself only a collection of men — says they can. Certainly this too is, or should be, unacceptable.
So where does all this leave us? There was a time, back in the damn-the-torpedoes days of my youth that I'd have openly talked about revolution. (Does anyone else remember that lunacy?) Those days are gone, replaced by wisdom and "playing it smart" and "going along to get along" and other versions of mental and emotional salve that we apply when we are humiliated, as I was on that lonely stretch of North Carolina highway, or as that Secret Agent was by the TSA. Discretion is the better part of valor and all that.
As a student of Spooner, but someone who agrees with Shaffer, I long ago eschewed voting as a viable alternative. I am therefore unlikely — quite unlikely — to re-embrace that activity. (I did come up with a modest proposal to legitimize voting though. I don't think I'm the first one to think of the idea, but it's a start.) Instead, leaning upon that old saw, "the pen is mightier than the sword", methinks a clue to my (our?) on-going responsibilities resides in the words of a few thinkers of the past.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
~ Benjamin Franklin
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
~ Samuel Adams
"He knew in advance what O'Brien would say. That the Party did not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in the mass were frail cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who were stronger than themselves. That the choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better."
~ George Orwell, from 1984
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress."
~ Frederick Douglass
My endurance is waning. How about yours?
Wilt Alston [send him mail] lives in Rochester, NY, with his wife and three children. When he's not training for a marathon or furthering his part-time study of libertarian philosophy, he works as a principal research scientist in transportation safety, focusing primarily on the safety of subway and freight train control systems.

Tiny Florida horses head to grieving Conn. town
Miniature horses from north central Florida are on their way to comfort the residents of a grieving Connecticut town.
Debbie Garcia-Bengochea of Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses says four small horses will be working with children, families and first responders in Newtown, Conn.
Garcia-Bengochea tells The Gainesville Sun that other organizations working in the aftermath of the Dec. 13 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School asked the Gainesville charity to join them. The horses frequently work with at-risk children and in schools, hospitals and hospice programs.
A Newtown horse farm is providing stalls and pastures for the horses when they're not working. They'll spend their nights in a heated horse ambulance.

Automatic IRAS:
Lower-Earning Households Could Realize Increases in Retirement Income

What GAO Found
Households without employer-sponsored defined contribution (DC) pension plans or individual retirement accounts (IRA) had lower incomes and tax rates than households with those plans, and are also likely to have limited additional resources to draw upon in retirement, according to GAO estimates. The median adjusted gross income for households without DC plans or IRAs was $32,000, compared to $75,000 for those that did have them. The median marginal tax rate for households without DC plans or IRAs was 15 percent, compared to 25 percent for households with those savings vehicles. A defined benefit (DB) pension plan could provide a monthly benefit during retirement years for those without a DC plan or IRA; however, in 2010 only 15 percent of married households and 11 percent of single households without a DC plan or IRA had a DB plan.
The existing Saver's Credit tax incentive could result in small increases in a household's retirement annuity--that is, the household's annual retirement income received from DC or DB plans. GAO estimates that, on account of this credit, the median annuity increase for households in the lowest earnings quartile ($929-34,377) would be $155. If, however, the Saver's Credit was refundable (i.e., could generate a tax refund in excess of tax paid), it could result in larger increases in households' annuities across all earnings levels, and the median increase for households in the lowest earnings quartile would be $876 per year.
Implementing automatic IRAs, unless waived by participants, could expand retirement coverage and modestly increase retirement annuities for households at all earnings levels. Specifically, 7 percent of all households could receive retirement annuities from automatic IRAs even though these households had no DB or DC plans, according to GAO's projections. Workers with DB or DC plans could also benefit from automatic IRAs at certain points in their lifetime if their jobs do not offer such plans. Moreover, low-income workers could see a sizable increase in their annuities under automatic IRAs and the existing Saver's Credit--the projected median dollar increase for these households' annual retirement annuity would be $479.
Why GAO Did This Study
Participants in DC plans and IRAs may receive tax incentives for their contributions and lower-earning households may qualify for the Saver's Credit, an additional tax incentive for their contributions. However, less than half of the workforce participates in an employer-sponsored plan and upper-income workers have been more likely to take advantage of associated tax incentives. In recent years, proposals have been put forth to modify the Saver's Credit and create automatic IRAs, under which employers who do not sponsor a plan would generally be required to offer their employees the opportunity to save in an IRA through payroll deduction. These proposals would have fiscal impacts for the federal government.
GAO was asked to review tax incentives for contributions to DC plans and automatic IRAs. GAO examined (1) the earnings and tax rates of households that do not have DC plans or IRAs, (2) the effects of the Saver's Credit on retirement income, and (3) the effects of automatic IRAs on retirement income, especially for low- and middle-income workers. GAO examined the characteristics of households that do not take advantage of these tax incentives using data from the 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, simulated the effects of the Saver's Credit and automatic IRAs, and reviewed related proposals.
GAO is making no recommendations. GAO received technical comments on a draft of this report from the Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury, and incorporated them as appropriate.

DataRowCollection.Remove Method
Removes the specified DataRow from the collection.
Namespace: System.Data
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
When a row is removed, all data in that row is lost. You can also call the Delete method of the DataRow class to just mark a row for removal. Calling Remove is the same as calling Delete and then calling AcceptChanges.
Remove should not be called in a foreach loop while iterating through a DataRowCollection object. Remove modifies the state of the collection.
You can also use the Clear method to remove all members of the collection at one time.
The following example uses the Remove method to delete a found row in a DataRowCollection object. The example first uses the Contains method to determine whether the rows collection contains a row. If it does, the Find method is used to find the specific row, and the Remove method is then used to remove the row.
Private Sub RemoveFoundRow(ByVal table As DataTable) Dim rowCollection As DataRowCollection = table.Rows ' Test to see if the collection contains the value. If rowCollection.Contains(TextBox1.Text) Then Dim foundRow As DataRow = rowCollection.Find(TextBox1.Text) rowCollection.Remove(foundRow) Console.WriteLine("Row Deleted") Else Console.WriteLine("No such row found.") End If End Sub

Bright, blue-tinged pellets of glass from a shattered windshield remain trapped in twisted aluminum siding on a vacant house just above the makeshift shrine erected to 17-year-old Kala Austin, who was fatally injured near that spot this month.
Mountain Road in Anne Arundel County, also known as state Route 177, has seen many such memorials in recent decades. At least 20 people — many in their teens or only a little older — have died along the 11-mile stretch since the early 1990s. At least 14 have perished in crashes there in the last decade alone.
In that way, Mountain Road is representative of a class of once-pastoral suburban byways that now bear increasing traffic loads with little room to grow. But few if any are as constricted, busy and harder to bypass than Mountain Road. And for residents of Pasadena's peninsula, there is no practical alternative route.
The State Highway Administration contends the road is no more dangerous than others in the region but also acknowledges that direct comparisons are difficult because of Mountain Road's unusual configuration.
Local officials and residents, however, are certain of its dangers. Virtually all of its victims have been Pasadena residents.
"Without a doubt, for its speed limits and its size, it's ranked up at the top in accidents, especially accidents that lead to personal injury and tragedy," said Del. Nicholaus R. Kipke, a Republican who represents the district that includes Pasadena. "Typically, we lose one young life a year on Mountain Road."
Donna Austin, Kala's mother, said she's determined to push for a safer Mountain Road — in particular, the spot near Fairwood Court where her daughter smashed into the side of a building that stands no more than 12 feet from the westbound travel lane.
That structure, little more than a decrepit shack, lies just east of a sharp curve where Kala lost control of her eastbound 2002 Volkswagen Jetta while on her way to Chesapeake High School about 7:30 a.m. on a rainy day. Last week, the path of Kala's car was marked by pink flags leading to a deep dent in the side of the house.
Austin wants to see it torn down.
"I'm just hoping something gets done so another child doesn't get killed down there," said Austin, a former SHA employee who now works for its parent Department of Transportation.
Making Mountain Road safer is a daunting task. While it carries the designation of a state highway, it is for much of its length little more than an overgrown country lane — a relic of the decades during which Anne Arundel County's peninsulas were rural outposts whose shores were lined with fishing shacks and summer cottages rather than waterfront mansions.
Along its path from Ritchie Highway to the Gibson Island gatehouse, Mountain Road passes the entrance to many subdivisions that have sprung up in recent decades, straining the road's capacity with suburban sprawl. State Highway Administration figures show that the section of Route 177 where Kala crashed carries 26,530 vehicles a day.
"This is probably one of those suburbs where you shouldn't have had this density of housing," said Pat Massof, president of the Saybrooke Woods Homeowners Association — representing a neighborhood that depends on Mountain Road.
For much of its length, including some of its most deadly stretches, Mountain Road is essentially a two-lane road with a third, reversible lane shoehorned down the middle to relieve peak-hour congestion. It is lined with countless points of entry and exit to retail parking lots and residential driveways.
Belying the name, there are no mountains or even significant hills along Mountain Road, though there are some sharp curves and tricky intersections. Shoulders are limited or nonexistent along much of the road, forcing bicyclists into the travel lanes. Few accommodations are made for pedestrians, several of whom have been victims of accidents during the past decade.
One of the most striking features of the road is the sheer number of fixed objects just a few feet from the edge of the pavement. Three of the last four known crash-related fatalities have involved single vehicles that hit a tree, a utility pole or — in Kala's case — a building.
Patricia Meley, who lives just up the road from the site of Kala's crash and whose front yard was the site of a crash in 2007 that killed two people, said some residents have installed decorative rocks along the road to protect their homes from being hit.
"There's very little room for error on Mountain Road when a person makes a mistake," said Anne Arundel County police Capt. David Waltemeyer, commander of the Eastern Division.
Midway along the route, limited-access Route 100 with its 55-mph speeds dumps into Mountain Road, which has a 40-mph limit. Farther out the peninsula lies Chesapeake High School, a daily destination for hundreds of drivers who, like Kala, have limited experience behind the wheel.

Answer #1pushrod March 22, 2013, 04:26Master
Check for vacuum leak could set both codes. Possible tank vent problem but no crank, then of course it wont start! No CRANK means the starter is not turning the engine! No START means engine is spinning over but wont fire up and run! Could be fuel tank vent solenoid IF it will crank but not start after fill up.
Replydannyab, March 22, 2013, 12:24Rookie
Of course it cranks, I wrote "crank no start condition" but thanks for the tip I will check that vent solenoid and for vacuum leaks.

What should a war-weary public think of a whole new spy service for the Pentagon? The brain-child of two wunderkinds of intelligence, the Defense Clandestine Service will ultimately field 1,600 personnel across the world. This sounds like a lot of new spooks. But the reality is a bit different. There is a primer of sorts of what this new spy service will do, and what it won't do.
(1) There won't really be 1,600 new spies. There are already about 600 or so Defense Attaches attached to embassies and consulates. They collect intelligence openly. They will now work more closely with their covert counterparts and are included in the figure that Congress has been given for the size of the DCS. Of the remaining 1,000 personnel, a bunch will come from existing Department of Defense intelligence collection agencies.... More»

Anthony Kendall
Half-Brothers in the Womb
Wilma's pregnancy was due to in-vitro fertilization (IVF), in which her husband's sperm was combined with her ova in a petri dish. In an unforgivable breach of proper medical procedure, however, the pipette used to transfer material had apparently been reused after a visit from a previous sperm donor. Wilma Stuart's ova were fertilized by both men, and two of the re-implanted embryos matured into healthy young boys.
Strictly speaking the boys were only half-brothers, even though they were delivered as twins. They entered the medical literature as yet another documented case of heteropaternal superfecundation, a scientific term meaning "different fathers, multiple babies." Most such cases, however, are not the result of IVF, but rather more traditional conception methods.

Packed Fruits From SM Hypermart
I always check out the chilled section of SM Hypermart for stuff like these. I dont enjoy peeling and slicing fruits. Nor buying fruits in bulk. So for people like me, I think these packed fruits are great finds. Not only do they provide me the ease and convenience of enjoying my fruits in a snap; they also let me enjoy an assortment of fruits every single day. Plus, they are definitely not bad for the price.

Capital Campaign Donors Revealed
The donors of a $1 million gift to the capital campaign at Dakota State University have been revealed as Glen and Caren Straatmeyer. The anonymous pledge was originally announced in September, 2009.
The Straatmeyers decided to go public with their donation to inspire others to give. "Our reason for giving was simple," said Glen Straatmeyer, "we wanted to provide an opportunity for students to receive an education at Dakota State." They originally kept their gift anonymous because they had no desire to call attention to their generosity.
That changed, say the Straatmeyers, when they realized that letting others know what they had done could motivate more giving. Putting themselves in the spotlight is not something the Straatmeyers are completely comfortable doing, says Caren, "but we know how important the cause is, and we want to do all we can to encourage others to give as well."
The Straatmeyers are long-time donors to Dakota State, including gifts to the Champions Scholarship program.
Caren Straatmeyer is especially pleased with the relationships she and Glen have been able to establish with the recipients of their scholarships. This spring they received a letter of thanks from one such recipient which played a role in their decision to go public with their gift. "Glen and I have received such a sense of personal gratification from helping students," says Caren. "We hope to encourage others to give and have the opportunity to experience those same feelings."

What biases? I love the gp
The only reason I am arguing it will become optional is because it makes all the sense in the world that it will be.
We have demonstrated Nintendo could do it gently and you wouldn't be upset. If they get a profit increase greater than the cost of repackaging and patching a few games it is totally worth doing. If it kills the gp and the wii u becomes popular than it a as a move that needed to be made. There is very little risk for Nintendo, just the small cost of releasing this option.

'Roll Charge Light Protect' project keeps wheelchairs safe at night
While it may look like it belongs on the lesser-known reality TV show, Pimp My Wheelchair, Min-Goo Kim's "Roll Charge Light Protect" wheelchair is all about safety, not bling. The rims are equipped with LEDs that get their charge from the motion of the wheels, which helps in two ways: it helps the occupant see the terrain around them, as well as making them visible to others and motorists in the dark.
Curiously, each wheel also has an LCD on it, which allows one — uncomfortably, we imagine — to check the amount of charge the LED lights have stored up.

I already had a good lead and I was ready to fight in a big duel with Alberto. Crashes are part of the sport. I've crashed myself many times in the past as well.

Build is nice, whole screen is responsive. Hopefully this one will last me another 2 years!Reviewed by Mikko HäkkinenRating
Very good spare part. Judged by the quality it is indeed an original Nexus 5 part and works as intended. Giving four stars to quality only because it has a very small area (literally lesser than 2mm) at the very top of the screen where the screen is not as bright as elsewhere. I guess the screen has failed quality control and has ended up to this store somehow. I am very pleased to the screen but still have to figure out why the phone doesn't get connected to the mobile network.
[ ETS Answer ] Hi Mikko Häkkinen, thanks for your comments, about the issue"why the phone doesn't get connected to the mobile network", I have consulted with our products manager, he advised you check the signal line if it is damaged or change the signal line.

Most of us have items in our possession such as old photographs, letters, birth certificates or military badges, commonly referred to as family heirlooms. It is a genealogist's nature to collect these things as they give us a unique view into the lives of our ancestors, often providing additional information to help us solve our ancestral puzzles.
So what do we do with our family heirlooms and all the documentation we collect as we trace our ancestry? We could leave those loose photos in an old shoebox, stick the newspaper clippings and marriage certificates in another box and store them in the attic. When we go back to look at them, we find the mice have nested in the photos, now yellow and cracking, and the newspaper along with all the other papers the newsprint touched is brown. This is an example of the type of deterioration, which can occur if we don't protect our family treasure.
Metal objects will rust or corrode. Insects feed on clothing and paper products. Water from leaky roofs or flooded basements will permanently ruin most objects. Sunlight will fade photos as well as paintings and moisture in the air (humidity) will accelerate the deterioration of our heirlooms. Paper before the 1850s, known as rag paper, was mostly made of plant fibers such as cotton and flax. Rag paper and parchment, made from animal skin, will last for centuries. Modern paper is made from wood pulp and contains a compound called lignin that breaks down into acids. These acids cause the paper to yellow and crack. Newsprint is the highest acid paper and when it deteriorates the acid leaches into and onto anything it is in contact with. The article starts to deteriorate as well, a process known as acid migration.
Preserving our family heirlooms doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. With a little forethought and organization we can protect our precious items for many years. There are a few principals of preservation we néed to remember. Keep the items high and dry. Store them off the floor and at moderate temperature and low humidity. Keep them in the dark. A closet with interior walls works well. Protect documents and memorabilia in archival materials such as Mylar sleeves, envelopes, file folders, binders and storage boxes. Hang photos, paintings and documents on display out of direct sunlight. Handle old documents carefully. Always wash hands and wear white cotton gloves.
A little planning goes a long way when archiving our family documents and heirlooms. Deciding where we will store them and how to organize them is an important first step. Once we have an idea on our organizational plan the next step is to sort the items for example, into family groups. Do an inventory of the entire collection organized into groups and make a list of the supplies néeded. These supplies may be purchased at some local office supply or photography stores. Archival products can also be ordered from suppliers around the country. A simple Google search for archival products turns up all kinds of web sites for suppliers, methods and products.
Once we have an inventory, how do we decide what kinds of supplies we will néed? Photographs are probably one of the easiest to start with. Mylar-D, polypropylene or polyethylene sleeves are archival safe. Stay away from PVC or PVA products. There are many sizes and layouts available to fit individual néeds. These sleeves can then be placed in binders, file folders or photo albums. Making copies is a good idea. If using a photocopier use color even for black and white photos. Digital photocopies are probably the most desirable. These should also be backed up with a CD. If the photo is cracked it can be repaired using archival tape placed on the back and the photo stored flat. For seriously damaged items, contact a conservator or archivist in your area.
Protecting paper items is also fairly easy. Use protective sleeves. If you want to keep two items back to back in the same sleeve, place a sheet of buffered paper between the documents. Sleeves can then be stored in file folders, binders or boxes. Remember to keep all newsprint and telegrams in their own separate sleeves. Cracked or rolled documents can present a problem. If a rolled document is already cracked it may break when unrolled. Be prepared for this or contact a professional. A cracked or broken document can be repaired at home by applying archival tape to the back. The document should then be placed between two pieces of glass to keep it flat. Make copies using acid and lignin free paper.
Books should always stand straight on a bookshelf and not packed tight. Never pull a book out by the top of its spine. Oversized books should always lay flat. Remove all items from the family Bible. Flowers, newspaper clippings etc. can eventually break the binding as well as start deteriorating the pages. Place these items in sleeves and label them as to where they came from and what they were for if known. Books can be wrapped in newsprint and packed flat in storage boxes. Remember to keep them dry. Scrapbooks can be preserved by inserting 20# buffered paper between the pages, the book wrapped in archival tissue paper and stored in a flat storage box. A new scrapbook can be created by photocopying or photographing each page and inserting these pages into sleeves. The sleeves may be placed in an attractive archival binder book for viewing.
Other heirlooms such as jewelry and military medals can be stored or displayed using archival display boxes. These display boxes are clear like plexi-glass so the item may be viewed without handling the originals. A holder is made using a product called foam core . Foam core is a paper-backed product with a sponge like material sandwiched between two sheets. Pieces are cut and fashioned to an individual item. Cut a back and a top to size (slightly larger than the item). Next cut small rectangular pieces to build up the sides to a height just above the height of the item. Cut a hole in the top for viewing and place the top on the stack.Glue all pieces together and you have a nest in which to place the item. The holder should be stored in a display box. Remember to use only archival foam core, glue and display boxes.
Fabric items should be wrapped in archival tissue before folding up and storing. All metals such as buttons, hooks and zippers néed to be wrapped in tissue or cotton cloth to inhibit rust. Fabric néeds to breathe and should never be stored in plastic. Also, polyester cloth is made from petroleum products so should be stored separately. Labels are made using acid free paper or cotton and marked with an archival pen. The labels then can be sewn on using cotton thread. Items should be removed from their containers occasionally and exposed to the air.
Preserving our family treasurers is a choice. This choice can be both a rewarding and creative experience, that with a little forethought and planning our efforts today will produce a collection of heirlooms to be enjoyed by our family and future generations.

Genealogists are always accessing old records. However, with all the news about identity theft and with shrinking government budgets, governments are trying to limit access to vital records, but will limiting access to records stop identity thefts? Do genealogy web sites contribute to identity thefts?
Shrinking government budgets may close more records than making legislation to stop identity theft. As the budgets shrink, the very records we are interested in get neglected more and more. Very old records may be disintegrating just sitting on the shelves as budgets are strained to just keep the government running. About two years ago Spokane County lost about a third of their budget when a new city was formed in the county.While several departments also lost a third of their work the Auditors Office did not and the Auditor is the keeper of the county's vital records. With less money to work with our Auditor contacted the local genealogical society for some help since genealogists make up the majority of requests for the records in the Auditors archives.
Genealogists should try to help keep the access to records open and to preserve those records for future researchers. One of the best ways is to check to see if the records have been microfilmed either by the LDS or regional archives set up in the states. Always be courteous, especially at courthouses and archives. This will make it easier for the next genealogist to access the records by not having the staff dread the next genealogist.
While identity theft is getting to be a problem, will closing the vital records genealogists are using for research stop identity theft? Are the websites designed and maintained by genealogists contributing to identity theft? The National Better Business Bureau did a survey on causes of identity theft. This is a ranking of their findings:
Does this mean we are safe from identity theft? Should we worry about someone somewhere using our data to steal our identity? It looks like theft of our wallets or checkbooks are what we néed to protect most. Other things we can do to help are:
By doing the above and protecting your important papers, hopefully you will never be bothered by identity theft. It is up to genealogists to make sure their politicians do not close the vital records we are interested in to stop identity theft, when those vital records are not contributing to identity theft.

|This one is big fun; the approach can be a bit treacherous, especially if there is no snow, just wet leaves over slippery shale slabs. And take care not to punch through when crossing the creek.

|No need to rap P1, 2, 6, or 7. Look for tracks off to the side: climbers' right on P7, CL on the others. If you don't see fixed slings, it's because there's a walk-off. Lots of folks rap P7 and bust the ice underneath before it has a chance to fill in; please don't be that guy.

|I'm not a local and found Kaaterskill Falls proper (which is not on this site but had numerous easy, and very steep routes) instead of Buttermilk falls but I am fairly certain that it falls on 23A somewhere between Haines Falls and Palenville there is quite a bit of ice on that stretch. With the given directions I'm still unsure, more cross referencing to other parking areas and other routes will be required before I understand, but there is plenty of see a climb and walk to it options on 23A so that anybody could get by for a number of days down there.

Some approach beta...
The approach is fairly long. Dropping down to the steam from the parking lot bear left along the stream until you find a place to cross. Finding a place to cross can be difficult depending on how cold it has been. Definitely head downstream (left) .
Once across after you have trudged uphill to the logging road/trail head left again. Once you intercept the ravine head uphill. Don�t bother with the first small 20 ft ice you come across. Continue uphill for twenty minutes? Might have been 30 minutes. Seemed like a long time but that could have been partially because it is steep uphill. The first pitch to climb is apparent. It is 30 or 35 feet high. From there there are belay trees and rap anchors at the top of each pitch. Various route up each set of falls of varying difficulty 3/4.
