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 Bruno (Courtesy list)!
Facts about Bruno (Courtesy list)
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bruno (Courtesy list)'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Bruno is in CT, but is available for adoption on the East Coast. Bruno is a 2 year old Chocolate Lab rescue pup that now finds himself alone again. His owner is moving and can't take him. Bruno's family says," He is beautiful smart and a bit crazy. He is always ready to play, run, fetch, until he wants to just lay on the couch with you. There isn't a tennis ball, frisbee or softball that is safe when he wants to play. He looks and sounds more like a horse than a dog when he runs. My kids adore him, and he wears them out!"Please email us at email@example.com if you are interested in adopting Bruno! Our adoption fee is $300. $75 of the adoption fee is refundable if proof of obedience class is demonstrated within 3 months of adoption. Each of our pups goes to their forever family up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered & microchipped.
Other Pets at Bonnie Blue Rescue - Virginia Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bruno (Courtesy list), a Richmond Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

(January 31, 2014) – Eagle's Landing Golf Course's annual Super Bowl Scramble, which was scheduled for this Sunday, February 2, has been postponed due to the recent weather. Rescheduled for February 15, the tournament and tailgate party will consist of a four player scramble with a unique scoring format.
"This event is very popular and although we are disappointed to have to move the original date, we wanted to be sure we put on an event that our participants are accustomed to attending," commented Bob Croll, Head Golf Professional at Eagle's Landing. "We expect many of the teams that are currently signed up for Sunday will participate on February 15, but if anyone is interested we certainly would encourage them to contact us."
Each Super Bowl Scramble team consists of a coach, quarterback, running back and wide receiver. Scoring is done in a traditional football manner, with points being awarded for touchdowns, field goals and extra points. In addition, penalties are issued for safeties and 30 percent of the "A" player's handicap is counted as the team offense.
The tailgate party, which includes breakfast, begins at 9 a.m., followed by a shotgun-start "kick-off" beginning at 10 a.m. The ticket price is $50 per player, and includes green fees, a cart rental and entrance into the tailgate party. Also included is "Throw the Bomb" on the third hole and Melanie's Blitz Soup served at half time. Prizes will be awarded for winning teams.
For more information or to sign up, please call Eagles Landing at 410.213.7277.

Worth Its Weight In Gold
Given the Chief Secretary of the Treasury is himself somewhat lacking in financial expertise, you would think he would select his Special Advisor carefully for their financial prowess. Instead he has thrown yet another lifeline to a friend. Like he did with Willie Rennie in the Scotland Office, Danny Alexander has made another failed LibDem MP, Julia Goldsworthy, his SpAd. If the public wanted these people to stay in Westminster they would have voted for them.
Given her boss is in charge of reining in public spending it's hardly reassuring to know a woman who spent over a grand of taxpayers' money on a rocking chair is whispering advice in his ear.
Initially the position is unpaid since Goldsworthy had, with a lack of foresight, just taken a £30,000 MP's resettlement grant which kind of disqualifies her from taking an immediate government salary. Though with her spending habits that can't last long…

The Florida Panthers are running a rather unique promotion heading into the off-season in which fans can submit their predictions of what the 2011-12 roster will look like. We're dead serious. The entry that most closely resembles the Panthers actual opening day lineup will win a jersey signed by the team.
We're giving you the chance to put your own version of the 2011-12 Panthers team together.
Decide on who the Panthers will sign in free agency, trade for or draft and tell us who will be taking to the ice when the team opens their season in October.
One person who gets their lineup to most closely resemble the opening night roster will win a team-signed 2011-12 home jersey.
We couldn't resist putting a submission together, and we're totally shooting the moon with it for no good reason:
Book it, that's the winner right there.
That's right, Brad Richards will be miffed by the lack of interest from the Tampa Bay Lightning and he'll sign with Florida out of spite. Ed Jovanovski clearly loves the south's warm sun so he's a sure bet to make his way back to Sunrise, FL. Jean-Sebastian Giguere will act as Tomas Vokoun's replacement and defy both his health and natural decline… at least until Jacob Markstrom is ready.
What would your 2011-12 Panthers roster look like?

Album review
TLC - Crazysexycool
The story of this female Atlantan trio encompasses arson, excess, business wrangles and tragedy (Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopes' death in a car crash last year). Surviving this soap opera, however, is some great pop—especially this, their 1994 second album. Crazysexycool sold 11 million in the US and remains a seductive fusion of R&B with hip hop, giving production breaks to future key players like Jermaine Dupri, Puff Daddy and OutKast affiliates Organized Noise (who helm "Waterfalls").

Review of Registry Easy Registry Cleaner
Hey, Ken here.
I want to introduce you to Registry Easy and give you what I believe is the most honest review on the Web.
No fluff or hype here, just what you need to know before purchasing.
Note: This is a review, Click here to visit the official Registry Easy site.
First of all, why talk about Registry Easy?
Registry Easy is a registry cleaner and optimizer (though it does much more than that). Often, problems shutting down Windows XP are caused by errors in the Windows registry.
The registry is a huge database that contains information about the location and state of everything running on your computer, including what should happen when those running programs shut down. If anything is amiss, Windows XP can hang up because it doesn't know what it's supposed to do. I mentioned this in my last post, "What Causes Windows Shutdown Problems?."
One of Microsoft's recommendations is to do a repair install of Windows XP, but that's a complicated thing for most people to do and it costs a pretty penny for expert service. The good news is this: You don't have to re-install Windows; you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix your computer; and, you can scan your computer for free before committing to a purchase.
Click here to visit the official Registry Easy site.
With Registry Easy you can safely clean and repair the Windows registry with a few simple clicks and more than likely get right to the source of your shutdown problems. Registry Easy also provides a backup mechanism for any repaired files so that you can easily recover any changes if required.
The Bad Points
- No software is perfect and Registry Easy is no exception. The first time I used it to scan my system, I spent about 15 minutes navigating through the errors it found.
- Even with the full 30-day trial version, you can only use the program once per day to repair errors.
The Good Points
- Registry Easy reported errors that another registry cleaner ignored. Looking them over, they were mostly clutter, but this could contribute to XP shutdown problems.
- A backup of your registry is automatically created when you use the repair function. This is very good if anything goes wrong.
- The program can clean up junk files of many types on your computer to give you back wasted drive space.
- You can optimize your system settings for better performance and tweak your network and memory settings for better Internet performance.
- In addition to registry problems, you can discover and fix other system problems not related to the registry.
- There is a full set of tools to tweak and optimize Internet Explorer.
- They offer a free trial, so if the program doesn't work for you, you don't have to pay for it.
- It works on all versions of Windows from Windows 98 to Windows 7.
- They offer comprehensive technical support should you need it.
Registry Easy is an effective set of system utilities that will safely scan your system for errors, invalid and empty registry keys, and useless and duplicate files that can lead to problems shutting down windows. It improves PC performance and fixes those annoying system crashes and freezes. Definitely recommend you get a copy.

Profiles of ability and conviction
Fascination for pond scum thrusts biology explorer into the world limelight
POND SCUM MAY FUEL OUR VEHICLES SOMEDAY, and we'll have Dr. Jerry J. Brand '63 to thank for it.
Brand, professor of molecular cell and developmental biology at the University of Texas, is in charge of the world's largest and most diverse culture collections of algae. The Wall Street Journal featured him in April 2009 after his research caught the attention of entrepreneurs who believe algae has great potential as an energy resource. Brand was making scientific discoveries even as an undergraduate at Manchester College back in 1961. He has "fond memories" of an introductory course in zoology taught by Dr. Emerson Niswander and research with Dr. William Eberly '48 on the oxygen profiles in freshwater lakes and their effects on lentic biota. "I remember the thrill of being the first person in (Eberly's) classes to isolate the unusual microbe, Dictyostelium discoideum, from a natural source."
Soon after graduating, Brand took up teaching physics in Nigeria. "My academic preparation for that was excellent," Brand says. "But equally important was the perspective I learned at Manchester: that service is important and rewarding. I hope never to forget that lesson."
While his studies on the light reactions of photosynthesis at Purdue and Indiana universities and now at Texas have carried Brand to different disciplines from his Manchester College days "the excitement of discovery remains the same," he says. "Algae are now at the center of my university life."
Longtime friend gives the gift of life, without hesitating a heartbeat
THE SUM OF MARY HERBSTER '71 HAUPERT'S life is far greater than even this Manchester math education major can calculate.
"I never taught a day after my student teaching," says Haupert. Instead, she earned a master's in counseling at St. Francis University, and spent 20 years with Park Center, leading Fort Wayne group homes, day care and case management for clients with mental illness.
Then, she joined Fort Wayne Women's Bureau to direct its new 90-day residential treatment for addicted women and their young children (now called Transitions). With Haupert's help, the Bureau acquired a building, staff, certification and funding.
In 1995, Haupert became CEO of the struggling Neighborhood Health Clinics for underserved (and uninsured) residents of Fort Wayne. She persevered through staggering financial crises, diversifying resources. Her dedication added up: Last year, the clinic provided almost 50,000 medical and dental visits to 15,695 individuals – and more than 13,000 women and children received nutrition counseling and high-nutrition foods.
"What I enjoy the most is the planning, visioning and management," Haupert says, "and the feeling that, in the end, we are making a real difference in the health and well-being of people who might not have the same opportunities as I have."
The secret to Haupert's successes? "Loving God and loving others are still the most important things in life," she asserts. "Do not let your plans, ambition or careers overpower these relationships."
A powerful formula of prayer, science and excellence
"AT TIMES, I HAVE VIVIDLY FELT THE EXPERIENCE OF actually living in a dream world," says Frederick Balagaddé '01, who already is a respected and published pioneering research scientist.
Today, the ever-inquisitive Balagaddé is principal investigator of engineering technologies for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, the premier laboratory for solutions to the most important problems affecting national and global security. He came to the position via two years as a research scientist at Stanford University and Ph.D. studies in applied physics at the California Institute of Technology.
"My experience (at MC) was very special, but like compound interest, even after I left, the memories continued to appreciate," says the extraordinary computer science and physics major who conducted NASA research on carbon fiber composites and interned at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory during his Manchester years.
At Cal Tech, Balagaddé invented the micro-chemostat, a small device that mimics biological cell culture environment in a highly complex web of tiny pump and hair-sized water hoses, all controlled by a multi-tasking computer. His research was published in Science, the world's leading journal of original scientific research, and featured on National Public Radio.
When asked about his journey as the premier high school student of a third-world country to one of the premier science institutions in the world, Balagaddé humbly replies, "I believe in the power of prayer. The most amazing things have happened in my life as answers to prayers." BY NATE HODGES '10

What is a rubric? A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student work that describes levels of performance quality. Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, rubrics are commonly misunderstood and misused.
The good news is that when rubrics are created and used correctly, they are strong tools that support and enhance classroom instruction and student learning.
In this comprehensive guide, author Susan M. Brookhart identifies two essential components of effective rubrics: (1) criteria that relate to the learning (not the "tasks") that students are being asked to demonstrate and (2) clear descriptions of performance across a continuum of quality.
She outlines the difference between various kinds of rubrics (for example, general versus task-specific, and analytic versus holistic), explains when using each type of rubric is appropriate, and highlights examples from all grade levels and assorted content areas.
In addition, Brookhart addresses
Intended for educators who are already familiar with rubrics as well as those who are not, this book is a complete resource for writing effective rubrics and for choosing wisely from among the many rubrics that are available on the Internet and from other sources. And it makes the case that rubrics, when used appropriately, can improve outcomes by helping teachers teach and helping students learn.

It's not the first time I saw that (i also see this with drakon V3)
when taking a close look to the rulesbook picture of the heroes, we see steelhorns and Lyssa. They are red instead of grey, but it's not the real problem. Lyssa is almost the same as its mini.
but for Steelhorns, there's some differences : its legs are more wide open, its posture looks more aggressive and its look like a bit further feral. Nothing to looks like with the steelhorns mni we have. So my question here is simple : why the miniatures have been changed ? Someone knows ?

Shahien Nasiripour scored a foreclosure-fraud scandal scoop for The Huffington Post on Monday, reporting that audits of the mortgage industry conducted by HUD's inspector general found five giant banks—Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial—defrauded taxpayers and violated the False Claims Act. HUD sent the findings to the Justice Department, which will now have to decide what to do next.
On Tuesday, Felix Salmon criticized The New York Times and Wall Street Journal for giving big play to the New York attorney general's renewed interest in mortgage securitization while ignoring the HuffPo scoop. I thought maybe it slipped by the print deadlines. But three days later, those papers have yet to run anything about the news.
What gives?
Nasiripour did report on confidential documents, so I suppose it's possible other journalists are trying to follow the story but can't yet get it. But it's much easier to browbeat sources on these kinds of things once one outlet has gotten the scoop. "The news is already out. Can you at least confirm it?" And Nasiripour got it from four sources.
Indeed, the Financial Times confirmed the news on Tuesday, but it didn't credit the HuffPo, and it buried it in the second-to-last paragraph of a story on the New York AG story.
The New York Post also confirmed it on Tuesday and was nice enough to credit the Huffington Post, but it stuffed it in the last two graphs of its New York AG story.
Reuters just rewrote Nasiripour's story, adding no apparent reporting of its own beyond getting some "no comments."
I don't understand why this story's been so ignored by the business press. You've got fraud allegations at the too-big-to-fail Wall Street banks. Bank of America and another bank refused to cooperate with investigators. It implicates senior executives at Wells Fargo. The audit is being used by the state AGs as leverage in their settlement negotiations with banks over the foreclosure fraud scandal. And DOJ is considering using them to file civil and criminal charges.
Sounds like a big story to me.
Of course, the bloggers are on it while the mainstream press dithers. Yves Smith is brutal on what it means:
This revelation, that HUD audits of the biggest servicers over a mere two-month period, showed extensive fraud, is proof that abuses were extensive. It also establishes that the effort by Tom Miller to settle the 50 state attorneys general investigation quickly and and the recent "see no evil" Federal consent orders are a cover up. The fact that HUD found extensive misconduct over a similar time frame as the Foreclosure Task Force, which Assistant Treasury Secretary Michael Barr described as a ""11-agency, 8-week review of servicer practices, with hundreds of investigators crawling all over the banks" proves that the latter to be pure regulatory theater. And as we've noted, the Tom Miller-led effort has done no investigations, guaranteeing that the negotiators would have no bargaining power.
Mike Konczal says this:
If HUD can find that in two months how actively do other regulators have to be in not finding problems?…
The stalled 50-AG settlement should be put on hold until more is disclosed about what an actual investigation can get you. This finding by HUD should also tell skeptics that there is a there-there to these problems.
Three things are worth noting here. First, the HUD IG seems to have been able to conduct a much more thorough review of foreclosures than any of the bank regulators. The HUD IG's office has a small staff. Compare this with the enormous examiner teams at the disposal of the OCC and Fed. Yet somehome the HUD IG has been able to accomplish a much more insightful review than the federal bank regulators. The clear implication here is that regulatory motivation matters in investigations….
Second, the all-clear sounded by the OCC and Fed on the servicing front just isn't credible. This is a major problem for the US financial recovery…
Third, it's worth noting that irrespective of whether DOJ pursues the HUD IG's findings under the False Claims Act, HUD has a major disciplinary tool at its disposal: FHA lender eligibility.

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 Tawnie!
Facts about Tawnie
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Tawnie's Info...
Why Choose me?
Tawnie has been here since January 17th, but she is just now available for adoption. Before, she was too scared to be made available. When I used to walk by her gate, she'd run to the back of her kennel. Now, Tawnie is at the gate greeting me, and she was even ready to go for a walk today. The first time she greeted me, I actually had to do a double take and check her ledger number because I wasn't sure this was the same dog. I was so proud of her. I had taken a few pictures of Tawnie yesterday, but today was the first day she could have fun running around in an interaction pen. It was wonderful to watch her enjoy herself. She wasn't ready to play with toys, but she did come to me whenever I called her, and she loved being petted and getting treats. One of the officers of Animal Control had been working with Tawnie and had given her a bath. I think that was her breakthrough moment because it was like she was saying, "I'm ready to come out and meet people now!" I don't think Tawnie has had the best life. She had been chained to a tree without food or water. There's an injury on the back of her neck, but it doesn't seem to bother her. I feel like Tawnie really needs a friend and needs to be loved. She's come so far and deserves a chance for a better life. I look forward to spending more time with Tawnie, but I hope she is adopted or rescued soon. She's already out of time. Come meet this sweet girl. Maybe you can give her the chance she needs to find out how good life can be.
Act quickly to adopt Tawnie. Pets at this Shelter may be held for only a short time.
Other Pets at Athens Clarke County Animal Control
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tawnie, a Athens Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Athens, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Athens.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Athens 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 Athens 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 Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Athens paves the way for another one to be saved.

YOU'RE A GENIUS. Putting that old, spare mouse pad under the EHD definitely deadens its noise. Many thanks for the excellent "Now why didn't I think of that?" idea!
Please note: when this gets around, we'll see old mouse pads available all over the Internet for $99.99. Of course they won't be called "old mouse pads." They'll have some kind of looong name that deserves, as does all A/V gear, its own acronym. Let's not forget, however, it was GD who came up with the OMP first!
Seriously, thanks again ...

There was FW (beta) with HDD support for 222, but it never came to fruition for us. Perhaps it would negatively affect 622+ devices and DVR fee cash-flow.
I don't know much about the 622, how would it be negatively affected?

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 622 - 27 June, 2006 Written Answers. - Food Labelling. Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the steps she has taken or proposes to take to ensure that all meat and poultry sold here accurately reflect the country of origin and that traceability, health, hygiene, husbandry and processing procedures are in accordance with EU and Irish law; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24568/06] Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan Mary Coughlan: Regarding the labelling of beef, this is governed by comprehensive EU regulations which were introduced in 2000 and are underpinned by a full national animal identification and traceability system. These compulsory labelling regulations require all operators and organisations marketing beef within the Community to provide information on the label to enable the beef to be traced back to the animals from which it was derived and the information must include details on the slaughterhouse, de-boning hall and the country in which the animal was born and reared. These requirements apply to all beef sold at retail level regardless of whether that beef was produced within the Community or in a Third Country. Where beef is imported into the Community from a Third Country and all the above details are not available, that beef must, at a minimum, be labelled as "Origin: non-EC" along with an indication of the Third Country in which slaughter took place. 816 Regulations for the purpose of beef labelling in the restaurant and catering sectors have now been made by the Minister for Health and Children, making the provision of country of origin [816] information on beef in these sectors mandatory. These Regulations, entitled Health (Country of Origin of Beef) Regulations 2006 (S.I. No. 307 of 2006), will come into operation on 3 July 2006. They require that a food business operator providing prepared beef to consumers shall not (a) advertise beef for sale or supply, (b) present it for sale or supply, or (c) sell or supply it unless the country or countries of origin of the beef is indicated at the point of advertising, presenting, sale and supply in clear legible type on the advertisement, menu or other presentation used. Regarding the labelling of poultrymeat, there are EU Regulations which provide for the labelling of unprocessed poultrymeat at retail level. The Regulations require such poultrymeat to be labelled with the information regarding class; price per kg; condition; registered number of slaughterhouse or cutting plant and, where imported from a Third Country, an indication of country of origin. There are no specific EU regulations governing the labelling of pigmeat or sheepmeat beyond the general food labelling regulations which do not require 'country of origin' information. The general EU food labelling regulations covering all food sold in Ireland require that the information be given clearly, accurately and in a language understood by the consumer. Among these requirements is origin marking in cases where failure to provide such information would be likely to mislead the consumer to a material degree. This legislation comes under the remit of the Department of Health and Children. Food labelling legislation is enforced by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. On the food labelling issue in general, I must emphasise that my primary aim is to protect consumer interests and to ensure that the consumer is properly informed. Ireland is a major exporter of food and food products and indeed there are also considerable imports, so it is imperative that the same standards are applied to the labelling of foods in every sector and that there is a level playing field for the food industry at all levels. In this context, at a meeting of the Council of Agriculture Ministers earlier this year I raised again the issue of labelling of foodstuffs and I, along with a number of Member States, asked the Commission to further examine how best food labelling should be handled at EU level in order to best protect the interests of the consumer. I am glad to inform the Deputy that the Health and Consumer Protection Directorate of the EU Commission has recently commenced a consultative process on a wide range of issues in this area, under a document entitled 'Labelling: Competitiveness, Consumer Information and Better Regulation for the EU'. I have arranged for my Department to make a submission on food labelling and country of origin labelling of meat in particular to the Department of Health and Children who are co-ordinating the Irish contribution to this process. 817 [817] Various bodies have responsibility for the other aspects raised in the question and I am satisfied that where they come within the remit of my Department the relevant EU and Irish law relating to traceability, health, hygiene, husbandry and processing is satisfactorily enforced.

Playing with Alpaca…
As soon as I got home from the festival on Saturday, I couldn't resist "playing" with my purchases. I have decided to start by designing a hat for my husband using Tunisian crochet. (FYI – the pattern will be available for free as a tutorial on some of my favorite Tunisian crochet techniques.)
This was actually the first fiber arts festival to which my hubby has accompanied me. He is so patient and very indulgent of my crochet "needs" and "wants." However, he had a lot of fun on Saturday telling EVERY SINGLE VENDOR that I have never made a project for him. So, he picked out both of the blue skeins for himself. And now, I have to work up something for the love of my life ASAP!
I have been sneaking in a few rows here and there. Believe or not, I actually had to frog the darn hat 4 times already! I love designing – it is so cathartic; but, it can be frustrating too. And, let's not even mention how one of the hanks got tangled after I put it on the swift. I need a class in winding yarn, for sure!

Wind development measure passes HouseBy Kirk Carapezza
Vermont Public Radio | April 27,2013
Wind turbines generate power at the Searsburg Wind Power Facility in Searsburg, Vt. Thursday, July 21, 2005. Two ridge lines in the southern Green Mountain National Forest soon could sprout 370-foot tall wind power generators, if the U.S. Forest Service approves what would be the first wind energy project on its lands anywhere in the country. A company called Deerfield Wind LLC has proposed up to 30 of the towers in a special-use application to the Forest Service. The review is expected to take up to 18 months. (AP Photo/Tim Roske)The Vermont House on Friday overwhelmingly passed a bill that was originally proposed as a moratorium on ridgeline wind development in Vermont.
Over the past two months, though, the bill was reduced to a study of how the state approves renewable energy projects.
The House voted 140-3 to approve the Senate bill.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, has emerged as a lightning rod for opponents hoping to strike down wind projects. On Friday he rose to passionately acknowledge that the beleaguered bill has taken a circuitous route to the House floor.
A product of the 1960s, he quoted the Grateful Dead.
What a long, strange trip this has been, said Klein, whose committee found that the kind of research called for in the Senate bill would be nearly impossible and too expensive to conduct.
Some of the tasks that were sent to us in the Senate bill was on research that, quite frankly, hasnt been done anywhere yet, Klein told his colleagues, pointing to real estate values that may or may not be affected by energy-generation plants as one example.
To really get some sort of baseline of understanding, youve got to go to a community where a project has been built and remember that weve only had recently two projects built in the last few years and youve got to wait and see what happens to the real estate values there, Klein said.
He emphasized that his committee learned it would take four to six years to get reliable real estate information time, he said, lawmakers cant afford to take in developing energy policies.
There is an energy problem in this country, Klein added. There is an energy problem in this world, and we cant go on, business as usual and not pay attention to it.
Proponents in the House and Senate had hoped the bill would give greater local control to town and regional planning committees in reviewing renewable energy projects.
Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton, the minority leader, said his constituents who live near Georgia Mountain still hope for a more cautious, balanced approach to ridgeline wind development.
This week the wind turbines on the mountain didnt turn at all, Turner reported. We need to understand that.
Turner added, Georgia Mountain, which was this pristine mountain, now has a cut right up through the middle with four big turbines sticking out of it. Some say beautiful, some dont.
Turner and other House lawmakers said they are confident that the bill recognizes some of the flaws in Vermonts renewable energy policies.

Notes: If using dried beans, save 4 cups cooking liquid to use in the ragout; if using canned beans, reserve and measure the liquid when draining and add water to equal 4 cups. You can roast the vegetables and blanch the kale up to 4 hours ahead; wrap separately and chill, then proceed from step 4. Prepare the polenta while the ragout cooks.
Sunset NOVEMBER 2002
1. Sort beans for debris, then rinse. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring beans and about 2 quarts water to a boil. Cover, boil for 2 minutes, and remove from heat. Let stand at least 2 and up to 4 hours. Drain beans, rinse, return to pan, and add 2 quarts water. Bring to a simmer over high heat, cover, reduce heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until beans are tender to bite, about 40 minutes. Drain beans, reserving 4 cups cooking liquid (see notes).
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix olive oil and garlic. Add onion, parsnips, squash, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix to coat evenly. Spread mixture in single layers in two 12- by 15-inch baking pans. Bake in a 400° regular or convection oven for 15 minutes. Stir with a wide spatula and bake until vegetables are tender when pierced, 10 to 15 minutes longer.
3. Rinse kale and tear leaves from center ribs; discard ribs and stems. In a 6- to 8-quart pan over high heat, bring about 2 quarts water to a boil. Add kale leaves and cook, uncovered, until tender to bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon and immerse in cold water until cool. Drain and coarsely chop.
4. In a 6- to 8-quart pan over high heat, combine beans, the 4 cups reserved bean cooking liquid (see notes), roasted vegetables, tomatoes with their juices, and olives. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 15 minutes to blend flavors. Add kale and cook to heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Mound polenta on dinner plates or in shallow bowls and ladle vegetable ragout over polenta.

I replaced the coupling by only having to remove one bolt with a socket wrench. Once replaced I installed the new assy over the coupling making sure ro align the splines then pushing down until the assy snapped into place. Easy.

Level of DifficultyReally easy
CustomerAmy from Falling Waters WV WV
I installed the coupler and tightened the bolt with an adjustable wrench. Then I aligned the agitator and snapped it onto the coupler. Then I snapped the fabric softener dispenser onto the agitator. All of this took less than 3 minutes and that includes putting the wrench back into the tool box. I pulled the agitator off of the coupler and out of the machine. I moved the coupler in circles by hand to check to see if it was working properly. It wasn't. I got an adjustable wrench and removerd the bolt that held the coupler on. I pulled the coupler out of the wash basin and examined it. I saw that it was stripped out and I new I had to get a new one. I first called my local sears store to see if I could get the parts. First I spent about 20 minutes tied up in their phone system and then when I finally got to speak to an actual person they didn't have a clue. Then somehow I got transferred to the Sears 1-800- phone number and spent about 20 minutes talking with a parts person. Meanwhile I checked out partsselect.com while I was speaking with the Sears rep. It turns out that Sears wanted about $25 more for the parts than parts select and I was only placing a $50 order. When I brought this to the attention of the sales rep. they replied that they were shipping only GE repair parts. Big Deal. The parts that I got from parts select were the exact parts that I took out of the washer. Ordering online was very easy and convenient and I wasn't overcharged for shipping. The repair took less than 3 minutes and everything works like new. Thank you parts select.
CustomerRebecca from Lititz PA
Removed agitator. Removed small bolt holding mounting device. Removed mounting device. Replaced everything in reverse order with new parts. No problems.
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
CustomerDiane from Zebulon GA
First, I removed the liquid softner dispenser cup from the agitator. Next I gripped the bottom of the agitator and pulled straight up. This was the most difficult part of the repair. Next, I removed the couplier bolt with the appropriate size socket wrench. And then removed the couplier from the transmission shaft. This exposed the shaft. Upon receipt of parts from Part Select, I proceed to install in the reverse order. I slide the new couplier back onto the transmission shaft. and bolted down with new bolt using the original socket wrench. Next I slide on the new agitator making sure the "tongue and groves" matched. Then I placed the liquid softner cup back onto the new agitator. And with great joy my washer is working once more. Thank you Parts Select.
CustomerEric from Tulsa OK
We couldnt figure out why our clothes werent getting clean until I took the door magnet off and placed it on the sensor so we could watch the washing machine while it was operating with the lid open. The agitator was not moving at all. I put a rope through the fins of the agitator on 2 sides, and using a board for leverage, it popped right off. I used a socket to remove the coupler screw and put on the new parts. Washer works great now. A very easy repair.
CustomerMichael from Itasca IL
Simply put hands, one under each side of the agitaror and pulled up. The part snapped off very easily. I then placed the new part in the tub and pressed down. Extremely easy, should have done it sooner!
CustomerTricia from Glen Allen VA

First I took off the old coupling (one screw). Put the new coupling on, lined up and snapped the new agitator onto the new coupling.Repair took les than 5 minutes. The longest part of the whole process was lining up the agitator to the coupling.
Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
CustomerBenny from Compton CA
I had help taking off the old parts,coupling was not easy. But I installed the new parts by my self and I'm 74 years had trouble getting the Agitator Coupling back on, But the straps were easy, Any way I'm back to washing again thanks a bunch
CustomerJay from Wickliffe KY
Removed the bolt holding the agitator coupler on, replaced it and the bolt then slid the agitator on the coupler and the fabric softener dispenser on top of that.... so easy!!
CustomerKaren from Hamilton NY
After reading how others have done this and how easy it was, I decided to give it a try. And, sure enough, it was really easy. However, one concern I had was on lifting the old agitator off from the axle using both hands. I didn't want to have the agitator come crashing into my face as I pulled up. So I put a pillow on top of the agitator.
CustomerRobert from Utica NY
Unpacked the agitator from the box. Manually pulled off the old agitator and snapped on the new one. Total repair time was under 2 mins. Much better than a $120 service call.
CustomerJesse from Ames IA
Was easy to remove the broken parts because they were loose already due to the broken finger in the agitator. It was good that I ordered the coupling kit because the bolt showed corrosion already. With the new parts I was able to see how they all clipped on together so I set myself to unbolted the coupling, install the new coupling, tighten it, alined the agitator to it, pushed into place and,... vuahla!!! fitted and worked like a charm.

It's going to be a chilly morning so be sure to cover up, add a layer, and stay safe out there. Killington snowmakers are still hard at work and you can enjoy the fruits of their labor Saturday on Devils Fiddle. Look for 81 trails freshly groomed for first chair, including the awesome Outer Limits, the freshly resurfaced Lower Ovation, and Double Dipper. Aspiring as well as accomplished mogul skiers will find 3 seeded bump zones, on Lower Vertigo, Lower Superstar, and Mousetrap. Key lifts are scheduled from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Killington Parks We've also got 5 parks with more than 130 jumps, jibs, rails, and boxes plus a Minipipe and a Superpipe to keep you lapping all day Get the lowdown.

Thursday June 22 Show your colors: Tonight's the night for multicultural fare, both entertaining and edible. The ListenUp town concert series, brought to you by the same folks who book the Denver Botanic Gardens, kicks off tonight at 7:30 with Zaire's Papa Wembe, who will offer a mixture of rock, blues and danceable African soukous music at an exciting new outdoor venue in downtown Denver--the Open Air Common, 14th and Curtis in the Plex. Call 777-7372 for tickets; they're $15. At the Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 Baseline Rd., Boulder, the Armenian Little Singers--a spirited choir interpreting folk music, classical pieces and hymns in celebration of the United Nations' fiftieth anniversary--sing at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $10 to $15; call 440-7666 or 830-TIXS. Closer to home, a unique cultural exchange of African-American and Jewish traditions, Liberty and Justice for All, takes place at 7:30 at the Houston Fine Arts Center, Montview and Quebec. Where else can you hear a rousing gospel choir and a Jewish cantor in the same room at the same time? The night will be rounded out with storytelling, poetry and more music; for tickets, $10 ($5 students and seniors, $25 patrons), call 871-3795. And remember we mentioned the possibility of food? You'll encounter some of the best open-air eats around at the annual Greek Festival, beginning at 4 this afternoon and continuing through Sunday at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 4610 E. Alameda Ave. Once there, you can wander through a Greek bazaar, clap your hands along with the Kleftes folk dancers and polish off your gyros, dolmas and baklava to the tune of some sizzlin' bazoukis. Admission is a buck. Or three bucks after 9 p.m., when the retsina flows and the dancing gets hotter.
Friday June 23 The magic busk: Climb aboard! The 16th Street Mall will be busking out all over again when the Denver International Buskerfest returns today, bigger than ever, for its third year. A veritable street circus, the fest attracts a global menagerie of clowns, jugglers, acrobats, magicians, fire-eaters, giant puppets and every sort of novelty performer imaginable, who all do their thing at any of several stage areas, called BuskerStops, parked along the mall's expanse. In addition, folks can refresh themselves at the Busker Alley beer garden (kiddie beverages will also be available) at Arapahoe St., and children can camp out at the MEDIA PLAYground, new to the Buskerfest this year and located between Champa and Curtis streets. Events take place between 11 and 8 today and tomorrow, and 11 and 6 Sunday; nonstop performances begin at 11:30 daily. The best thing about it? It's free. Call 571-8200.
Nashville cat: In Nashville, you could do worse than to take your cues from the country-rock smarts of Dwight Yoakam. And Orbison-voiced Texan George Ducas has it down--his intelligent blend of old and new influences, from Buck Owens to the Rolling Stones, not only manages to please the public, it pleases the discerning critics, as well. And to think this guitar-strumming Vanderbilt grad might have ended up in bank management instead of a ten-gallon hat! Ducas appears tonight at 8:30 at the Grizzly Rose, 5450 N. Valley Hwy.; to reserve tickets in advance, call 295-1941.
She's no angel: Harp virtuoso Deborah Henson-Conant will get off of her cloud tonight at 8 at the Swallow Hill Music Hall, 1905 S. Pearl St. And when she does, she won't be winging it: Henson-Conant's eclectic repertoire swings comfortably from jazz to folk to boogie to classical, performed wittily--and with extreme gusto--on harps of all sizes. One listen and you'll leave all your pretensions about harp playing right at the door. Admission is $10 ($8 members); call 777-1003 for information.
Saturday June 24 Out and about: Singer-songwriter Janis Ian began her career at an age when most of us are still eating cotton candy at the mall--she wrote her interracial-love lament, "Society's Child," which became a huge mid-Sixties hit, when she was a wee fourteen years old. The pressures of business and early sophistication took their toll, however, and over the years Ian seesawed between seclusion and the public eye, picking up a couple of Grammys and coming out of the closet along the way. She'll be joined by fellow singer Holly Near, a consummate performer unafraid to raise her voice for political causes, tonight at 8 at Chautauqua Auditorium, 900 Baseline Rd., Boulder. Tickets range from $16 to $21; call 440-7666 or 830-TIXS.
Too much fun: You won't be able to walk the streets of Vail this weekend without laughing. More than fifty comedians will be taking the floor during the Vail Comedy Festival, which began Thursday night with several new-faces showcases. The talent thickens today and tomorrow, though, when Garton's Saloon hosts one headliner after another (noon-7:45 today, noon-11:30 tomorrow), goofy golfers--including Soupy Sales, Dick Gregory and Stephen Wright--tee up for a Legends of Laughter Celebrity Golf Classic (today through Monday), and Bad Girls of Comedy, a gala all-girl capper with Judy Tenuta, Pam Stone and Simply Marvalous, hits the Ford Theater stage (tonight at 8). Tickets for most events--available by calling Garton's, 1-970-479-0607--are $5 (an exception is tomorrow night's Gay/Straight Debate, $7). Admission to the Bad Girls event is $12 or $18; call 830-TIXS.

Elders are very important and highly respected within our tribal structure.
They are the caretakers of our rich culture and traditions. The Indian Child
Welfare Act, in recognition, gives priority to grandparents when placing children
who are in need. We also, as a people, wish to emphasize elder's rights and
protection by making them a part of our laws. The Indian Child Welfare Act,
defines "extended family" as the child's grandparent, aunt or uncle, brother
or sister, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, niece or nephew, first or second
cousin, stepparent or any other person defined by law or custom of the tribe.
The Court, in its discretion, may grant visitation rights with or without petition
by the grandparents, if it is in the best interest of the grandchild.
The grandparents of a child may petition the Court for grandchild (ren) visitation
rights in the following circumstances:

2. An action for divorce or separate maintenance has been commenced by one of
the parents of the child (ren); or

56-03-02 The preceding provisions cited in 56-01-01, 56-02-01, and 56-03-01 inclusive, do not apply if the child (ren) has been placed for adoption with a person other than the child (ren)'s stepparent or grandparent. Any grandparent visitation rights granted pursuant to 56-01-01, 56-02-01, and 56-03-01, inclusive prior to placement for adoption of the child (ren) for adoption, except in those cases of "open adoption" as defined in Section 38-03-37.

However, no person shall be deemed to be abused for the sole reason that they are being furnished traditional remedial treatment by spiritual means through prayer alone in accordance with their religious beliefs.
56-06-03 ELDER - means any person who has attained the age of fifty-five (55) years.
56-06-04 CARETAKER - means an individual who has the responsibility for the care of an elder, either voluntarily, by contract, receipt of payment for care as a result of a family relationship, or by an order of a court competent jurisdiction.

any reason be adjudicated by any Court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid
or unconstitutional, such judgement shall not affect, impair, or invalidate
the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph, section, or part thereof directly involved in the controversy

Spokane County Division of Utilities is restoring wetlands at Saltese Flats to use as a possible alternate location for reclaimed water discharge. At this time, pipes to deliver reclaimed water to Saltese Flats do not exist. The Division of Utilities has considered several alternatives for reclaimed water use besides wetland restoration.
The Division of Utilities constructed a water reclamation facility to treat wastewater from the Spokane Valley. The treated water, called reclaimed water, is discharged directly to the Spokane River near the facility.
Reclaimed water is the product of highly treated wastewater and can be put to many beneficial purposes. The State of Washington does not consider reclaimed water to be wastewater and encourages its beneficial use. The Division of Utilities produces the highest quality reclaimed water, Class A, at its water reclamation facility.
One possible use of reclaimed water is wetland enhancement. A degraded wetland such as Saltese Flats could be improved with additional water. One consistent source of water is the effluent from a water reclamation facility.
