The Killing of the Warden
In 1902 Guy Bradley was hired to protect the last great breeding ground of plume birds.
The following story is a fictional account of Guy Bradley's murder written in the language of the time. It is told by Gene Roberts, who discovered the body, to Lucius Watson, whose father, Ed, was blamed for this and other murders in south Florida. "The Killing" is excerpted from the novel Bone by Bone, the third novel in Peter Matthiessen's Watson Trilogy, which began with Killing Mr. Watson (1993) and Lost Man's River (1997). Bone by Bone was published by Random House in April 1999. This excerpt originally appeared in the November-December 1998 issue.
Guy Bradley had a quarter-mile of shore west of Flamingo, and us Robertses was the next section west, toward Sawfish Hole, and we was huntin partners. Still had fair numbers of plume birds around Cape Sable, but ever' place else, them birds was already slaughtered out; they was almost gone. Guy weren't but a young feller back in the '80s when he was shootin birds with Old Chevelier on the Bonton, but now he had him a new family to feed. Before the rest of us, he seen that there was no future for the plume birds, nor plume bird hunters, neither. Used to tell my dad how them aigrets was bound to disappear, same way as the native flamingos that give our good ol' Fillymingo settlement that name. Used to see them beautiful birds back there in the savanna, quite a few around the headwaters of the Glades rivers, and as late as 1902, there was still close to a hundred on the cape flats. Bur flamingos never stood no chance against the plumers.
Guy and his brother Lou was the first plume hunters to shoot aigrets out of Cuthbert Lake. The reddish and the blues and the blue-and-white Louisianas--"Loosies"--wasn't worth much, but the white aigret plumes brought $28 an ounce, more than pure gold, and the pink spoonbills brought pretty good money, too, and the flamingos, while we had some.
In 1903 guy guided some of them Audubon officials form New York to see all the shot-up rookeries. Mr. Job and Mr. Bent and Mr. Chapman--Mr. Frank Chapman--it was these three men who gibe Guy the idea to be the warden. They got him hired for the job by Monroe County, said Guy was just the man to protect them birds. Course the county never aimed to pay no goddamned warden; it was Audubons up in New York that paid his salary. Guy took the job kind of reluctant, cause he told us more'n once, "Sooner of later, some riled-up son of a bitch will take and shoot me." He told that to Mr. Chapman, too, but he wanted the job anyway, he was that kind.
Ol' Guy was about 32, I reckon, hardenin into a stubborn streak, which come down from his daddy. Edwin Bradley in his younger days had walked the U.S. mail down the East Coast all the way from Palm Beach to Miami. Later he worked for the Model Land Company, owned by Henry M. Flagler, the King of Palm Beach, who was given most of the southeast Florida by the U.S. government as a payoff for the building that new East Coast railroad.
Guy figured if he was goin to warden, he would give it hell, same as he done when he shot the shit out of the birds. Never had no uniform or nothing, just stuck a badge on his ol' mattress-tickin shirt and hitched his galluses and went right to it, makin life miserable for all his neighbors. I don't hold with what was done to Guy, but I weren't surprised when some of his old partners turned against him, took a wingin bullets past his ear to warn him off. Bein' Guy, he kept right on with it, never cared if you was a friend or stranger; if he'd of caught his brother, he'd of run him in.
Course, these arrests never come to nothing, cause he couldn't prove nothing, not in Monroe County. Judge at Key West would be plain crazy to jail a man for doin what our people always done--what it was our God-given damn right to do, ain't that a fact? Who was here first, our local hunters of them Audibones from New York City? Judge figured the plumers had punishment enough with all the time lost sailin 70 miles down to Key West and back for nothing, missin day after day in the best part of the season knowin their neighbors had went right back into the rookeries while the warden was done, likely finished what few birds was left.
Spring of 19 and 04, them birds was farther in between than ever, and prospects was lookin very, very poor. Before the next breedin season came around, Cap'n Walt Smith a sponge fisherman and wreck salvager out of Key West who kept a plume-bird-huntin camp at Flamingo--this Walt Smith applied to take Guy Bradley's warden job away from him. Smith spread the word that if his fellow citizens would just vote him in as warden, persecution would stop and honest men could go out and shoot, break the law to their heart's content.
You couldn't blame Walt in a way, because before Guy got to be the warden, them two men was partners at Bird Key when the cormorants--that is Audubon lingo for plain ol' nigger geese--was nestin. They'd salt down the young'uns, sell 'em in Key West for a few dollars. But a dollar was a dollar then; a man could get by on 100 a year for them few needs he couldn't take care of by himself, so Smith was countin on it. Anyways them two fellers was in the same line of work, and not only that but Guy's mother and Walt Smith's wife was best of friends from way back in their early years, up the east coast. Yep, Guy had known Smith most all of his life; they had shot birds side by side. And when the warden knows all the plumer's ways and what he's most likely to do in ever' weather, well, that makes it hard. Because by 1905, what we called "white birds" as so scairdy that a shot a mile away would rise 'em up out of their rookery, and it was hard enough to get in close without havin to keep an eye over your shoulder for some damn warden lookin to arrest you.
All the same, after Guy got to be warden, he told the Smiths to stay out of them rookeries or he'd take 'em to court and do his best to get 'em jailed. And Old Man Smith said, Lookit here, goddamnit, Guy, I been shootin out here for many a year and you right next to me, so don't you go messin with me when I come in there, cause them birds is my livin and I aim to keep it that way." Well, Guy just went ahead the same as always, and before the year was out, he arrested Tom Smith twice for plume-bird violations. Tom was 16. And Walt Smith had a fit and said, "You pester my boy again, I aim to kill you."
Thing as, our Fillymingo folks always liked Guy Bradley, leastaways before he went to wardenin, and even them few that didn't care for him too much and called him too uprighteous, the liked him a lot better than they liked Walt Smith. At least they had respect for Guy, and nobody respected Smith at all. Loaded his sponges up with sand to cheat a few extra pennies in the market; claimed he had fought for the Confederacy as a damn sharpshooter--that's where that "captain" come from. Captain Sniper! He could shoot, I won't deny that, but he was a mean skunk, and his sons took after him. His boys and crew as about the only ones as voted for him.
When he lost out on takin Guy's job, Smith come to see this as a feud--insult to injury. To his crooked way of thinkin, Guy had robbed him of what was rightfully his, and he hollered to anybody who would listen that he had swallered all he meant to take. Said no man could shit upon Smith family honor and get away with it. That was the first us Fillymingo folks had ever heard about Smith family honor. As my dad said, a feller's have to hint long and hard to come up with enough of that to shit upon! No, the Smiths were not so famous for their honor, but they were pretty well-knowed for revenge. They wasn't boys you would want to turn your back on.
One daybreak not long after that election, eighth day of July, 19 and 05, the Smith bunch come in and shot up Bird Key just like they promised, no two miles out in Florida Bay from the Bradley's house. Guy was woke up all by the shootin, and when he looked out and seen the old blue Cleveland over there, he sighed and told his young wife, Fronie, "Them Smiths is out there killin cormorants, and I'm goin over there and put a stop to it." But Guy must of knowed that nobody would shot so close in to Flamingo that wasn't lookin to bring the warden runnin. Like Fronie told us the next day, it was kind of funny how much pains he took to say goodbye. Picked up his two little fellers and hugged 'em hard, although he weren't goin but only that short distance and be back for supper. Later she figured her already had an instinct what was comin down on him but was just too stubborn to mention it or head the other way.
Always puzzled us when Fronie Bradley said she knew better than to try and stop him, cause she was a woman could back up her opinions with her fists. Guy's wife is a boxinest damned thing I ever seen, she'd put the gloves on with anybody, man or woman. Yessir, that young woman loved to box! Me, I could never hit a woman, 'fraid I'd hurt her, but one feller held the opinion that this darn female should be taken down a peg before they all got that habit, so he took her on. Hell, I was there, I seen it! She knocked him down as fast as he got up. Finally he dusted himself off, said thanks for the boxin lesson, ma'am, but he reckoned he'd had about enough. So Fronie said, "Hold on, mister, I ain't done boxin." Darned if she didn't knock him flat again!
"You aim to finish up about Guy Bradley, Gene?"
Like I was sayin, Lou Bradley was around there some place, but Guy never asked his brother to go with him. Just set sail in his little sloop, out across the bay. No question he knowed who that blue schooner belonged to. If he'd had sense, he'd of come about, went back for help. Buy Guy never did like askin nobody for help--sin of pride, I reckon.
That morning of July 8, it was a norther, wind backin around from southeast to northwest, and a heavy gray sky over the cape. I recall long strings of ibis, white as dune bones, crossin that pewter sky inland, and white flowers swayin kind of funny against that dead brown grass of the savanna, that dull Glades horizon. Offshore, the sky was turnin into silver, and the bright green of the mangrove clumps had blackened. There was a kind of transparent line on the south horizon, a real peculiar sky, and them little keys looked suspended in the air. I didn't like the look of it, and I don't imagine Guy Bradley liked it, neither.
Accordin to what Dick Sawyer and the other crewman said in court, Tom Smith and his brother Dan was still out huntin, over on the key. When Guy's skiff come up alongside, Old Man Smith fired a shot, and they come in. Never bothered to hide their birds, brought 'em right in under the warden's nose, made sure he saw 'em. Guy told 'em to stop, but they paid no mind, went aboard and down in into the cabin, as if to say, "Well now, ye Audibone sonofabitch, what you aim to do about it?" So Guy told Walt Smith that his older boy was under arrest and Smith said, "You want Tom, you better come and get him." Walt Smith had his Winchester on his arm, never tried to hide it. Dick Sawyer didn't want no part of it, so him and the other crewman, Ethridge, stayed below, but both of 'em heard Bradley's answer. He said, "Put down that rifle, then, and I will come aboard." He had hardly spoke when there come two quick shots.
That evenin we see Smith's boat come into Flamingo. He picked up his family and took off again. When Guy never showed up, Fronie got to worryin and come over to see me. She said, "Gene, I'd sure appreciate you have a look first thing in the morning, cause my man ain't home." So at daybreak I started across. Not a sign of nothin at Bird Key, but lookin back toward the coast, I seen Guy's little sailin sloop drifted in on shore. I found the poor feller slumped over forward, shot in the throat.
Old Man Smith went straight back to Key West, and first thing he done was spread the word that the warden was dead and Ed Watson must of killed him. When it turned out Watson was up north, he changed his story, admitted he might of done the job himself, called it self-defense. Said Guy fired first with malice aforesight or some such, and showed two bullets he had dug out his mast to prove it. Guy Bradley not being the kind to miss a man at point-blank range, folks had to suspect that Smith had took and shot them holes himself, but Dick Sawyer and the other feller, Ethridge, they cleared out of Key West, didn't care to testify for Smith nor against him--didn't want not trouble.
I went over there and I told the grand jury that all six cartridges was still in Guy's revolver when I found him. Smith's bullet had gone in his neck and down his spine as it fired from above, and he must of took a long time dyin. And my daddy, Steve L. Roberts, who built Guy's coffin and helped us boys bury him in the white-shell ridge back of Guy's beach, he told that jury what Smith told him only two months before, that next time Bradley tried arrestin any Smiths, he aimed to kill him. That was a message he meant Guy to receive, and Guy received it. Guy Bradley knew about that threat when he sailed out there.
Well, them young Smiths stepped up to that witness stand and swore on their Smith family honor that Guy Bradley weren't nothing but a plumer hidin behind all that Audubonin, that he was still partners with his brother Lou and all us Roberts boys, who was not only mainlanders but the most bloodthirstiest butchers of them poor li'l aigrets in all south Florida. And they swore that Warden Bradley, bein a Mainlander, had been harassin God-fearin Key Westers cause they give his mainlander partners too much competition, and they also swore that Bradley had pulled out a revolver, which obliged their ever loving daddy to fire in self-defense. Maybe Guy's revolver dropped overboard or something.
Well, I seen it next day. He never fired.
The grand jury was dead set against putting a Key West man on trail, especially a former officer of the Confederate Army. They refused to indict a well-knowed poacher who admitted to the killin of a lawman, and they opened up the jailhouse door and sent him home. Yessir, ol' Walt come clear in court, and he hardly took his first breath of fresh air out in the street when he started boastin how he'd kept his word, Smith family honor. Told all about how he'd stood up to that sonofabitchin warden and killed him deader'n a doornail with one bullet.
Not knowing what else we could do, us Fillymingo people burned down Walt Smith's shack, but it weren't much more than a henhouse to start of with. Didn't even have a "loser,' which is what us Fillymingo folks called the little hall behind the door where you lost your mosquitoes comin in. Yep, we burned Ol' Cap'n Sniper right out of our settlement, and his family honor along with him, but none of that done too much good for the widow Fronie and her two fatherless boys.
Course, them Audubons made Guy a hero, got the case all writ up in the New York newspapers. Later them bird lovers come back--Frank Chapman, Louis Fuertes, A. C. Bent. I hobnobbed with 'em some. Guy's brother Lou and my brother Melch took them men to Cuthbert Lake, and Mr. Chapman told me on his way back that Cuthbert Lake was the best of the big rookeries left in the whole darn country of America. "Good thing you boys never come acrost it earlier," he said, and give us a big wink.
Maybe four years later, around 19 and 09, the same breed of skunk would waylay another Audubon, C.G. MacLeod up at Charlotte Harbor. Found his sunk skiff, found his hat, which had two ax marks through it. They never came up with the body, and nobody was ever brought to court. Likely they tried to blame that one on Ed Watson, too.
The True Story: An Unsolved Murder
Guy Bradley grew up in Lantana, Florida, near Palm Beach. His father, Edwin, was an agent for Henry Flagler's Model Land Company. Like most Floridians, Guy and his brother Louis were hunters. In 1885, when Guy was 15, they accompanied the ornithologist Jean Chevelier on the sloop Bonton, traveling for several weeks from the Miami River south through the Keys and north again to Tampa Bay. The three men hunted common and snowy egrets and other species for their valuable feathers. In 1897 the Bradleys moved to Flamingo, at the tip of Florida on Cape Sable, where Guy and Louis continued hunting. Meanwhile, the plume birds--especially the egrets--had seriously declined in numbers, and in 1901 the state outlawed plume hunting.
The following year, Bradley was hired by William Dutcher, who would be the first president of the National Association of Audubon Societies, as Florida's first warden. He was charged with protecting the plume birds, especially as their last great breeding site, a small island in the Everglades called Cuthbert Rookery. This put him in immediate conflict with a former hunting partner, Captain Walter Smith, whose son he arrested on several occasions. Smith warned the he would kill Bradley the next time Bradley tried to arrest Tom Smith. In 1904 the warden mentioned to Frank Chapman, an Audubon ornithologist, that he did not suppose he had very long to live. He was murdered on July 8, 1905.
In this period E.J. "Ed" Watson, a cane planter with a dark reputation, was a popular suspect for every violent death in southwest Florida, and he was blamed for Bradley's. However, he was great friends with the Roberts family, who were close friends and neighbors of the Bradleys, so Watson was presumably a friends of theirs as well. It was Gene Roberts who found Guy Bradley's body the morning after he was killed.--P.M.

Immigration reform came up during the President Obama's State of the Union message last night, but there was no great sense that this mere mention will lead to action. Here is the link to the full text of the address:
The opponents of action are out of excuses. We should be working on comprehensive immigration reform right now. But if election-year politics keeps Congress from acting on a comprehensive plan, let's at least agree to stop expelling responsible young people who want to staff our labs, start new businesses, and defend this country. Send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. I will sign it right away.
That hardly seems promising, does it? A great link to the meat of the SOTU, such as it is, can be found at The Washington Post Wonkblog.
USA Today has just published an editorial about food safety audits, and the "opposing view" was offered by PMA's Bob Whitaker.

These plants are not mine but they belong to a very respected longtime grower. He grew every plants from seeds himself. To my guess this batch must be at least 8-9 years. It seems these plants start out quite fast as young seedlings but once attain a certain size seems to slow down and tend to add the tubercles rather than adding diameter, so very large plants are rare. They also love heat and sunshine, but given a partial shade situation they will do equally well and turn deep green/bluish in coloration Pijaya |

Nov 27th 2009 7:29PM Is it that much of a DPS increase or is it simply numbers coming off the PTR?
Also Blizzard did say there was going to be a "Hybrid Tax", maybe this is their way of begining of the corrections of the DPS losses from pure vs hybrids?

Encrypted Text: Notes from the Patch 3.3 PTR {WoW}
Nov 27th 2009 7:13PM "With Mutilate's poison damage spiking and Murder's new species agnosticism, Assassination has been absolutely destroying every other spec, build, and class on the PTR. Either Deadly Poison needs to be switched to PPM, or the MH poison proc it causes needs to be at half damage, or some other nerf to bring Mutilate back into the realm of every other class."
Im just a little confused as to why you would say that being is this is a rogue article. I mean rogues are just finally reach where they should be in a PvE/PvP Balance situation. Why nerf something something that is going to give a pure DPS class the advantage it should have in PvE while not getting massively buffed up in PvP.

I have lost my dog and I'm providing details...Maggie is a 14 year old, Norweigan Elk Hound mixed breed. She weighs about 60-65 lbs and she is tan, black and white in color. She is a very friendly dog. We moved to Portage the weekend of July7th and she ran away last Monday morning (July 9th). She was last seen on Tuesday on Hufford Hill. I believe she is heading back to her old home in Gallitzin. I think she is somewhere between Portage, Munster, Lilly and Cresson. My name is Ronda Wagner. Please contact me at 935-9790 or 935-9709 if you have seen Maggie.

Educating founders about the upcoming decisions and challenges they will face
Last week was HBS Graduation Week, marking the official end of the debut semester for my "Founders' Dilemmas" course. I had a great semester with a terrific group of very sharp students (who generously bestowed on the course the 2009 HBS Teaching Award). In honor of those bold, risk-taking students who were willing to bet on a new course, I'm going to devote my June posts to outlining the course's structure and content and to delving into the case studies I developed for it. In addition to their being useful for educating the future founders in my classroom, I have also found that these case studies are useful for educating current and future founders who are already off campus.
Below is the official course overview. The bottom half describes each of the course's four "modules." Each of my next four posts will describe the cases in those modules. In the meantime, I would love to get any comments or feedback on the high-level structure or any of the rest of the content!
Founders' Dilemmas: Money and Power in Entrepreneurial Ventures
Associate Professor Noam Wasserman
20 sessions + Paper
For students who plan to become involved in new ventures now or at some point in their careers. This involvement can occur in any of the following ways:
- As founders of a new venture
- As early hires, early advisors, or board members in new ventures
- As potential investors (e.g., VCs), customers, partners, or acquirers of new ventures
This course was designed to help these potential founders, hires, and investors prepare for the decisions they will face both before and during their involvement with new ventures.
This course examines the early decisions that have important long-term consequences for founders and their ventures. Potential consequences include losing control of their ventures, breaking up of the founding team due to tensions between founders, and jeopardizing the financial gains from their hard work and innovative ideas. The course's goal is to help students be much more informed about those long-term consequences before they make the early choices that can lead to them. The course also arms students with tools and frameworks with which to assess potential outcomes and avoid common mistakes.
We will focus on "people" issues (i.e., the key challenges faced when deciding when and how to involve other people in the venture) and on "universal" issues (i.e., those issues faced by founders regardless of the industry, geographical location, or period of time in which they are founding their ventures). The cases emphasize high-potential ventures (as opposed to "mom-and-pop shops"), where the choices we examine have the most impact on the future success or failure of the venture.
The course is comprised of four major modules:
- When to Found
Should I start a company now, or work elsewhere first? What are the pros and cons of different career paths vis-à-vis my ability to successfully start and run a new venture? - Building the Team (Co-founders and Hires)
Should I be a solo founder, or should I try to attract co-founders? If I attract co-founders, who should they be (e.g., my good friends?); how should we split the roles; and, how should we split the equity? Once I start hiring non-founders, should I hire "right" or "right now" employees? - Beyond the Team (Investors and Other Outside Resource Providers)
What are the tradeoffs involved in attracting outside resources? How will my decisions affect my ability to keep control of my venture and also build its value? How should my motivations for becoming a founder affect the choices I make? - Achieving the Entrepreneurial Ideal
How have some founders managed to build valuable ventures while still maintaining control of them? What general lessons can we learn from these founders about the decisions we should make at the outset and throughout the building of our ventures?
Most classes are structured around cases, but we will also feature video clips, a negotiation exercise, a panel discussion, and guest appearances from case protagonists to enhance the classroom experience.

22 April 2008
Cardiff University student volunteers last night celebrated a remarkable year which has seen national recognition for their work helping hundreds of people in local communities.
Welsh Assembly Government Minister for Social Justice and Local Government Dr Brian Gibbons attended the annual awards ceremony for Students Volunteering Cardiff (SVC). More than 60 student volunteers received certificates from the Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University, Dr David Grant, for their work in organising community projects.
SVC is one of the largest student volunteering organisations in the UK. Some 1,000 students give their time to more than 40 projects in and around Cardiff. These include projects for children, the homeless, the mentally ill, young people with a learning disability, the elderly and the environment. The contribution to the local economy is estimated to be worth in excess of £750,000.
Projects include Weekenders, in which students take children who care for a parent or a sibling for a day out away from their responsibilities. The project is now in its third year and has grown to involve 30 children a month aged 8 to 14 going on trips including ice skating, bowling and rock climbing. Martin Engel, one of the organisers, said: "The children all have a lot of responsibility and less free time than other children their age. They really enjoy the days out and return to their families reactivated."
The past year has seen SVC recognised as the first student volunteering organisation in the country recognised with the national Investing in Volunteers standard. SVC Chair Sam Smith, studying for an MSc in Sustainable Energy and Environment, won the 'Young Leader' prize at the recent Leading Wales Awards 2008.
Dr Gibbons told the volunteers: "I am always amazed at the contribution which young volunteers make in Wales and with over 1,000 volunteers, Student Volunteering Cardiff really is showing the way. You provide an invaluable service to people and communities in Cardiff. I am pleased that your efforts are being recognised and wish you continued success for the future."
Among the award-winners was SVC Vice-Chair Allyn Davis, who has spent three years co-ordinating an after-school club in Cathays. He said: "It has been such a rewarding experience, very challenging at times. But it is the times when we come back from breaks, and we see their excitement, and how much they have missed us over the holidays, that all the hard work pays back in dividends."
Sam Smith said: "I have been fortunate to work alongside a fantastic team and see at first hand some of the benefits the projects have in the community of Cardiff."
Cardiff University is recognised in independent government assessments as one of Britain's leading teaching and research universities. It is also ranked as one of the world's top 100 universities by the Times Higher Education Supplement (THES).
2008 marks the 125th anniversary of Cardiff University having been founded by Royal Charter in 1883. Today the University combines impressive modern facilities and a dynamic approach to teaching and research. The University's breadth of expertise in research and research-led teaching encompasses: the humanities; the natural, physical, health, life and social sciences; engineering and technology; preparation for a wide range of professions; and a longstanding commitment to lifelong learning.
Cardiff is a member of the Russell Group of the UK's leading research universities.

The Daily Troll: Kreidler wants transgender insurance coverage. Murray promises 'summer of safety.' Oil trains: More explosive?
Insurance commissioner paves way for inclusive transgender health care
4:33 p.m. State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler sent a letter to Washington health insurers today, spelling out the bottom line transgender activists have been hoping for. "Transgender people are entitled to the same access to health care as everyone else," Kreidler said in the release, which includes gender-transition services that are available to others such as hormone therapy, counseling, mastectomies, breast augmentation and breast reconstruction. Kreidler added that future regulations could be implemented if insurers do not comply. The Coalition for Inclusive Healthcare told The Olympian this move is important because most private and public health insurance plans sold in Washington deny transgender people services they need, even care unrelated to gender identity such as routine blood work and therapy — E.W. .
Marijuana munchies on wheels
3:48 p.m. A hot-pink bus dubbed the Samich Truck will offer a variety of THC-fortified treats at Everett'sJet City farmers market this weekend, according to a Daily Herald report. Those with doctor's permission to use pot can indulge in PB&J, truffle popcorn or a Vietnamese-style pork sandwich, all pot-infused. The Samich Truck doesn't intend to comply with state rules for legal pot sales. The story says the truck will operates in a gray area of medical marijuana sales, outside the jurisdiction of local public health agencies and rules the state Liquor Control Board has been crafting since voters passed Initiative 502. Gray area: really? — E.W.
Murray calls for greater public safety
3:32 p.m. Seattle Mayor Ed Murray told the City Council that, in the wake of recent shootings involving young people, he wants to create "a lifetime of safety" for people of all ages. Murray said he will work across city departments to create a "summer of safety" this year but promised yearly updates on the progress toward improving public safety. Among many other things, the efforts will includes more youth programs, summer jobs for teens and improving connections between patrol officers and neighborhoods. Crosscut will have a full report shortly; the prepared text of his speech is here. — J.C.
New study: No reefer madness
Just as Washington gears up for legal retail sales of pot, a new study done by the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London has revealed that genes linked to schizophrenia might lead a person to use marijuana – and not vice versa.
The study, which was picked up by seattlepi.com, found that schizophrenia and cannabis use is linked by shared genes, instead of the preconceived notion that using marijuana directly causes schizophrenia. Robert Power, who led the study, told Retuers, "We know that cannabis increases the risk of schizophrenia. Our study certainly does not rule this out, but it suggests that there is likely to be an association in the other direction as well – that a pre-disposition to schizophrenia also increases your likelihood of cannabis use." — J.B.
Oil trains: Explosive question
We've got one more big question mark on oil trains moving from North Dakota's Bakken fields to Washington's refineries. On June 17, Kari Cutting, vice president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, told the Washington Senate's Energy and Environment Committee in Spokane that Bakken oil is no more volatile than oil shipped from other fields. But a Tuesday Associated Press story noted that Bakken oil has been involved in most of the major oil train accidents — involving big fires or explosions — during the past several years. That might raise questions on its volatility. However, it should be noted that shipments of Bakken oil have dramatically increased in recent years. — J.S.
Art for the Duwamish
ArtPlace America, which collaborates with numerous foundations nationally, today awarded $300,000 to a local art, culture and environmental justice project, Duwamish Revealed. The project will use public art and cultural events to reach out to communities along the river in south Seattle and educate people about issues. Working with the Environmental Coalition of South Seattle, artists Nicole Kistler and Sarah Kavage will serve as artistic directors. — J.C.

From the article: "Kreidler added that future regulations could be implemented if insurers do not comply." Well then, I guess that settles the issue. I wonder if Inslee will get on board with Kreidler's method and start imposing fines,fees and regulations to force compliance with his State Income Tax, Clean Energy and Minimum Wage proposals?

Frost advisory in effect for San Diego County until 8 a.m.
SAN DIEGO - A frost advisory was in effect early Tuesday in the valleys of San Diego County.
The National Weather Service scheduled the frost advisory until 8 a.m., saying temperatures were likely to dip into the lower to mid-30s in many areas and briefly into the mid- to upper 20s in wind-sheltered valleys.
"A frost advisory means that frost is possible," according to an NWS advisory. "Measures should be taken to protect crops and plants. Sensitive vegetation may be killed if left uncovered."

At that hour I believe the only way to go is a cab.
Me and my DF currently have a 7:35am ADR at Cape May Cafe. We will not have a rental car and i have never been to a character breakfast that was either not in a park or on the monorail line. so i am at a loss as of how to get there from Pop Century. If anyone could help it would be greatly apprecated
Normally you would take a bus to DHS and then the friendship boat to the Beach Club, but like GIOny stated, I don't think that everything will be up and running that early...
"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy"
True- the buses start running at about 7:00am, but even that is pushing it to get from DHS to the Beach Club.
Sounds like a cab is your best option.
the disney buses may start to run but they will not go to BC. the other response is right take a taxi.
I'd check with the guest service desk at Pop too. They might be able to arrange something for you. Maybe not, but it never hurts to ask!

With teemo nerfs, jayce nerfs and all his counters nerfed its is impossible to counter him at top... actually i tried it with jayce..picking the best build, MR items and trying to deal damage from far away and countering him with my hammer he he gets near: Results: I ended below my turret unable to reach him or do anything to make him stop farming, he was able to go behind my turret and kill minions, when my jungler tried to gank he only used ghost or his ult and run away while we both got half of our health lost because of his OP poison, even with mr items... I know u will say .. " ohh but u counter him... u r jayce blah blah blah". Hell NO... not even close to counter him i was all the time running for my life instead of farming, watching how my damage wasnt even close to hurt him, not even using ignite, And the crying below my own turret for help and being easily dived by him. I have also seen a lot of counters fail. I really think he has to be nerfed somehow because it is impossible to kill him and he is doing too much damage...
You're just bad. Well, that's a bit too harsh. First off, you weren't aggressive enough. Cannon stance gives Jayce something most bruisers top would absolutely kill for- range. The ability to freely poke at Singed throughout laning phase is something you should've been doing. Second off, you got outplayed. If a Singed is farming behind your turret, then your jungler immediately needs to force pressure on Singed. If he can't, then it's both your fault and his fault for being unable to punish him correctly. By the way, Singed counters Olaf. I beat a Singed as Olaf 3 days ago. Come at me bro.
Jesus the Friend
try elise vs singed
u have defeat a couple of bad singed...
vlad, nidalee and the teemo nerf should in no way affect the singed vs teemo matchup...
What a pathetic scrub. Downvoted me with no correct rebuttal butthurt. Awwwwww. On a side note, your story suggests you play a really, really bad Jayce. Refund him plz.
Ten Inch Rooster
I typically do well with J4 against him.

i play elise top and i smash every game, no matter whos top. Elise is the ultimate top. great poke with range, if they get close enough to hit u (most are melee) then spider form. im not exaggerating, i win every time with her. iv beaten garren, singed, rengar, jayce, shen, riven. doesnt matter.

I have a new Whirlpool Cabrio W&D scheduled for delivery next week. I read the on-line manual for the gas dryer and it says to use a solid metal or flexible metal vent hose. It warns against using a plastic or foil vent hose. I was planning to use a foil hose.
What is the problem with foil vent hoses that would make Whirlpool specifically state that they should not be used? I would much prefer to use one because of the ease of installation. (My wall vent connector is low on the wall behind the dryer, immediately above the baseboard, and is only about a foot to the left of the dryer vent connection so I need something flexible. Particularly since I need to keep the dryer as close to the back wall as possible because of limited depth in the room.) |

Per the article in the attached link, those foil vents can trap more lint than the preferred solid or flexible metal ones and thereby possibly cause a fire. When we purchased a new W/D set about a year ago, we discussed the various materials with the installer. He said he would never install a foil vent because of the potential fire hazard. He did put in a flexible metal vent (our setup is practically the same as yours). The folks who deliver your new appliances should be doing the hookup as well, unless you insist on doing it yourself. Should not cost anything more. BTW, the flexible metal vent is sufficiently flexible to be able to pull the dryer forward to vacuum around it, etc. (Even though the distance in our cases is short, the installer should leave enough length so that you can move the dryer a short distance.) The bottom line is to avoid the foil hoses. Risking a fire is just not worth it. Good luck! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Truths and Myths of Dryer Fires
dalemccl... A solid metal hose/pipe has no ripples so it's the lease resistant. Flexible metal has tiny ripples so there is minimal wind turbulence. |
Based on the responses, I know I should use a flexible metal hose (the solid metal seems like it would take custom fabricating to get to the exact length and shape). The problem is that the flexible metal hoses I have seen at Lowes, Home Depot, etc. are all longer than the distance from the dryer vent connection to the wall connection (in their unexpanded form). Can these things be cut to be shorter? The periscope looks like it might work but also looks like it would need to be cut. I have seen ones that are 0"-5", which is too short, and 0"-18". I haven't measured exactly because the dryer has not been delivered yet, but I probably need around 12"-15" of length. |
Yes, flexible metal can be cut with scissors. |
>>Yes, flexible metal can be cut with scissors.<< Thanks. I will take the foil vent back to the store and get either a flexible metal one or maybe a periscope. |

We used all rigid vents on our dryer. We have the bottom elbow and the first length of pipe connected to the dryer vent outlet, Then we connect it to the remaining lengths of pipe (that are already mounted to the wall/vent) Of course, one of the pipes may have to be cut to the correct length. |
- Posted by regus_patoff (My Page) on Sun, Jan 4, 09 at 19:12
also, NO plastic foil duct tape is OK |
Using the "rigid" pipe is easy. regus_patoff gave a good description and that's essentially how I did mine. You can cut it with a tin snips or a heavy scissor even. It's not precision work. When I put the top & bottom sections on, I just put a band of duct tape around to let it lean and keep it from falling but if you have an assistant, it's easier. Just hold the last section up and make a mark with a marker on the pipe about where to cut it. It's so simple. Cheap and effective too. Don't be fooled into thinking it's more complicated than it is. |

I would like to use rigid vent pipe to extend 25 ft from the dryer to an outside vent. I am having problems closing the 4" rigid venr hoses. Also, I would like to know the best way to connect two hoses, foil tape or clamps? |

I had a 6 yr old Fridgedaire and thought it was faulty because it took 3 to 4 60 minute cycles to dry my clothes when I only had like 6 ft of foil vent hose to exit my basement. I bought a new dryer (Roper,super capicity, whirlpool econmy version) and it took 2 hrs to dry my clothes. I am thinking my foil flexible tubing is to blame not the dryers! My foil vent hose had lint build up and like a gallon of water every month or so collecting that I had to drain out routinely. Wish I would have read this before buying a new dryer. |

I received a largish (about 150cm high Acer Palmatum 'Deshojo' for my birthday this June. It was very full and bushy (maybe a bit too much - I wondered if it should be trimmed in the centre). It was also in an extremely small pot for a tree its size. So I re-potted it into a larger (and heavier, as it can get windy and the tree was blown over several times) pot. This was perhaps a bad thing to do at this time of year? We went away on holidays for the month of August. The person that stayed in our apartment watered the plants regularly. However, the tree is showing three signs of distress:
How can I treat these problems? Please assure me that my tree is not dying (and that I did not kill it by re-potting mid-summer) ? Thanks for any advice!! |

I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe and I went to start it up this morning and the key will not turn in the ignition. The steering wheel is not locked and the car is in park. I have tried 2 different keys with no success. Any suggestions?

rocky_mcintire Posts: 3We purchased this van from a dealership. 2 days of use the key wouldn't turn. I messed with it for over an hour and finally got the key to turn. Took to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong and that the alarm system locked it up. Now it's 2 days later and the key will not turn again. I need some answers before I take this back to the dealership and they lie to me again

So funny!
I was just thinkin' a' this the other day, but for all the characters...
Red, yellow and black for Mickey, blue, yellow and red for Donald, orange, green and black for Goofy, etc. :yes: :wink: :D
Printable View
I think that would cause more problems. Little bratty kids who ONLY want to ride in the Minnie Mouse monorail or don't want to ride Pluto, etc. Imagine having to stand around on the platform while people are trying to get on and off, waiting with other families of like-minded kids who want to wait for the Mickey monorail?
As has been said a few times in this thread, once you're inside, you have no way of knowing which monorail you're on. Most of the time I jump on and can honestly say I didn't have a CLUE what color just pulled up. And didn't care.
The monorails need a bar car.
Last call would be one hour after the park closes.
The bratty kids are the parents with bratty kids problem...I'll just jet right past 'em and get on the next available. It really dosen't matter to me, either.
I just thought the character theming could be kinda' fun, and as far as not knowing which one you're on when your inside, they could always continue the color/character theming inside the cars. :idea: :lol:
As far as the bar car goes...it better be "shots only" for those short trips...! :-D :lol:
I am all for a bar car...but then there needs to be a babysitting car for all the parents in the bar car :thumbs:
And then bring in the sponsors to help pay for the whole darn shootin' match...
Monorail Stolichnaya, monorail Tanqueray, monorail Cuervo, monorail Chivas...
And for that matter, MartianCrab, round out the other 6 of the dozen trains with *insert your top 6 favorite beers here*.
There are just too many to choose from. To me, the only thing better on this earth to drink than beer is.....NOTHING! :cheers2:
I know you guys are all taking achohol but here is monorail Peach.

The School Board and many parents and area residents are concerned that the hundreds of trucks hauling sand to the site each day will pose a safety hazard for school buses and student drivers, that the operation might pollute local air and water, and that it will diminish the beauty and appeal of the area.
"The farmers and everyone here should be able to mine all the sand they want to as long as they don't affect everyone else," said School Board member Jo Ressie. "But if they're going to be using this intersection, I just see this being the biggest bottleneck."
"I believe it is the school's responsibility to make sure that our kids and our staff are safe," said board member Karen Knospe. Referencing the concerns of some medical professionals for health affects from silica dust, she added, "I don't want our kids on the playground with masks on their faces."
Board President Ed Callahan said that the development would increase tax evaluations on local land, causing property taxes to spike.
"I think it's fair to just talk about the aesthetics of the thing," Callahan also stated. "We want a rich vibrant educational environment." He continued, "This is a scenic highway. When you leave you see the bluffs across the river. It's beautiful. That matters."
Just the perception that there are traffic hazards or air and water pollution is enough to damage the school, said board member Rita Greshik. "I've had 123 people call me" in opposition to the facility, she said. Some of them told her, "I'm not going to send my kid to school there if there's all this traffic and the buses have to drive in between." The aesthetics of the area affect enrollment, too, she argued. "It does affect our numbers if people don't think it's a nice place to live," Greshik said.
Land owner Bob Kamrowski, who agreed to sell his land for the transload facility, attended the meeting. In an interview afterward, he pointed out that schools in more populous parts of the state face busier roads without the same level of concern. "People are afraid of change and they're afraid of the unknown," Kamrowksi commented. When asked about parents threatening to pull children of out C-FC School en masse, Seven Sands landowner Dennis Bork said in the same interview, "I think it's a bluff." He added, "I don't think that they have a basis to say that this school is any less safe than a school down the road."
Bork argued that the School Board was neglecting the large number of its constituents that support the facility. Referring to Callahan's comments about the development increasing local taxes and reducing the school's state aid payments, Bork said, "I was disappointed to hear [the School Board] say that because this school should be encouraging people to come in from all over growth."
Kamrowski came to the meeting to find out if the district was going to hire an attorney to fight the transload facility. "I was disgusted last time they hired a lawyer," he said. The district hired special legal help in its successful opposition to a 2012 bid to permit the facility. "I don't think my tax dollars should be used to fight what I'm trying to do," he said.
Some School Board members also expressed hesitancy about spending on the special attorney. "In the past I have been opposed to spending any more legal counsel money to fight the decisions that have been made," said Greshik, in apparent reference to challenging decisions in court. The school has to trust county officials; it is their responsibility to make the right decision, she said.
Ressie responded, "Sometimes you can't count on the other entities to be doing their job." Callahan pointed out that the district budgeted a special legal reserve for just this purpose. "I do think legal counsel is important for our administrator to get advice," said Knospe. "We talked about this; we'll keep [the cost] low, as low as we can."
"It's a balancing act of when do we involve him and when do we not," Hiebert said of the new attorney. "If we're going to do the things that you requested, we do need that legal help. Some things, we know, can potentially be long processes and can be drawn-out matters, so we want to be careful that we don't spend a lot up front on anything that may need ongoing attention."
Board member Steve Scharlau said it is worth noting "how incredibly costly this is to the school district." The district has spent $54,000 on attorney's fees "related to sand" since April 2012. Scharlau said that the burden is not only spending on special legal counsel, but also "your time, our time, and the distractions are incredible." Callahan agreed, the School Board is in a position where it must spend its time discussing its strategy for the County Board room instead of the class room. "Monitoring academics has been postponed; it's a frustrating fact," he said.
"People might say, 'Well, just don't get involved in that,'" said Hiebert. "It doesn't work that way; that's not responsible."
When asked in an interview, Hiebert said that the School Board may meet in closed session with its new attorney to discuss legal strategy. After initially indicating that Wednesday's meeting to discuss the issue with legal counsel would be closed, school officials decided to open the meeting to the public. Other property owners associated with the facility and the Glacier Sands attorney attended.
A sensitive divide
The fractures local silica sand is harvested to create are supposed to happen hundreds of miles away, in other states, but in Buffalo County sand rifts have formed closer to home. "People who are against it will just stare at you and not say a peep," said Dennis Bork, farmer and partner in the would-be Seven Sands mine. Billboards, roadside signs, and bumper stickers all declare their opposition to Bork's wish: seeing both the mine and the Glacier Sands transload facility proposed next to Cochrane-Fountain City School permitted. Rita Greshik is an opponent, too, but she said that unfair jealousy is aimed at people like Bork.
Overcoming the controversy that might divide them, Bob Kamrowski, landowner who agreed to sell his land to the transload facility; Rita Greshik, his neighbor, who reportedly turned down millions of dollars for her land, won a seat on the School Board, and opposes the facility; and Bork can still speak to each other. Greshik spoke with Kamrowski and Bork as neighbors and community members last week.
Greshik still does not want a sand loading facility next to her community's school. She questioned the accountability of Texas-based Glacier Sands. She still is worried about the chemical polyacrylamide sometimes used in sand washing. She wonders what might happen if a spill occurred in her community, as occurred in Blair, Wis., according to Star Tribune reports. Still, she understands the other side. That neighbors would stop speaking to each other "is sad," she told Bork.
"I totally understand someone who wants to sell their land because they want to make a profit for once," Greshik said. Consumers are not willing to pay farmers a fair price for food, she explained. "There's a lot farmers who say it's a much better option to sell to the sand companies" because their children don't want to farm, and their children do not want to farm because "they've all watched their parents break their backs," Greshik said. Do not praise my family for turning down Glacier Sands' offers, she said. They did not do it because they are saints, but because they are lucky enough to be in a situation where one of their sons is likely to take over the farm.
On Bork's farm, "We're running ten times the acreage with one-third of the labor," he said, adding that some of those workers left the community. "These kids that are graduating C-FC High, how many of them are going to stay in Buffalo County?" he asked. Buffalo County's per capita income is 14 percent lower than the state average.
Opponents are concerned about truck traffic from the transload site, but "whenever there is a truck on the road there's a driver, too," said Kamrowksi. "He's got a job, he's probably raising a family, and he's a tax payer."
Greshik encouraged him to be patient. Arcada, Wis., has changed greatly by the growth of Ashley Furniture, she said, but that change came gradually. Gradual change is easier for a community to accept, she said.
How long do we wait? Bork asked. "Look at the growth Trempealeau County has," he said. "Look at Buffalo County." Bork continued, "What's being done today is going to affect our children. When we retire and our kids can't afford to live here because there are no jobs around here."
"As long as there's no spills and no accidents, we'll all be going, 'Oh, that was bad memory,'" when we look back at this debate, Greshik said.

I have 3 squares of bush beans planted. Should I trellis them up a tepee type trellis or up the netting that I see in typical SFG setups?
Follow-Up Postings:

I think if you try to trellis bush beans you will see them get to about a foot off the ground, and thats about it. Im wondering if your thinking about pole beans? |
In the south we grow pole butterbeans. This is my first year with sfg, I plan to trellis my beans tomorrow. In a large garden you will have a post in the ground, another one maybe 10 foot away and a wire top and bottom between the poles with string going up and down wrapped around the wire. The beans will climb up the string, the vine will go as far as the string will allow. I am still thinking as far as the sfg goes. |

Nope. Bush beans don't need it. Pole beans would. Bush green beans in July (planted end of May/early June).
Yellow bush beans in August:
Hope this helps. |

I don't trellis my bush beans either. Pole I do, using 1/2 in conduit from HD and garden twine (~ 2.39 for 10 ft, with clamps two trellises are around $10-11). Dan |
Doh!! I planted 3 squares in the back row thinking they would need trellising. The seeds have already sprouted a few inches. Should I transplant them so I make use of the back row for something else? |
- Posted by anniesgranny 6b (My Page) on Wed, Apr 29, 09 at 22:04
Why not just let them grow until you harvest the beans. Bush beans are finished after about two weeks of picking, then you could replace them with pole beans and have beans to pick for the rest of the season. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Teddy!
Facts about Teddy
- Breed: Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn

- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Teddy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
My name is Teddy and I am a happy, happy, happy 3 year old, 12 pound shih tzu mix! Did I tell you that I am happy? I love to play and give kisses to my person. I love to go for walks and ride in the car! I like cats but they don't like me and I don't know why! I am good with other dogs and I like children. Did I tell you I am happy? I love to play with my toys and be cute. I am neutered, current on vaccinations including rabies and microchipped. If you would like me to be a part of your household, then please contact St. Martin's Animal Rescue at email@example.com or 503-857-5047.
Other Pets at St. Martin's Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Teddy, a Sheridan Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Sheridan, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Sheridan.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sheridan already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sheridan breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sheridan paves the way for another one to be saved.

130 Australian Government to Addison
Cablegram 129 CANBERRA, 16 March 1946
Your 93 and 94 [1] Reparations from Japan.
1. We are in general agreement with the points made in your 93 paragraphs one and two and we agree with your view that the division of reparations should be [on] a broad political basis and with your proposal that this should be discussed by Far Eastern Commission.
2. As regards prior consultation between British Commonwealth countries we are anxious to avoid giving grounds for other[s] to treat the British Commonwealth as one unit for purposes of allocation of reparations and think it would be best if the suggested discussions could take place as part of the normal inter-Commonwealth consultation in Washington on Far Eastern Commission problems. Experts could participate in such consultation and might continue to work in Washington in relation to whatever inter-Allied reparations machinery may be set up.
3. We think decisions on reparations should be integrated closely with economic policy as laid down by FEC as this policy should determine availability. To effect this any inter-Allied reparations body should be subordinate to FEC. We do not agree with what we understand State Department officials have in mind, viz., the establishment of an independent inter-Allied Committee to translate FEC reparations policy into detail. [2]
