Country Mall Burns
Craig Rural Fire Protection District and West Routt County Fire respond to call
Updated November 26, 2007 at 4:49 p.m.
Craig Craig Fire/Rescue Chief Chris Nichols is calling the County Mall "a total loss" after a fire started at the Fourth and Ranney Street location Sunday night.
"It's one of the bigger fires we've been on since the downtown fire that we went on back in the 70s," Nichols said.
No one was injured. Nichols reported Monday afternoon that the investigation as to what caused the fire will likely not be complete until Tuesday.
Twelve offices are located inside the building, including Horizons Specialized Services, the Pregnancy Center, the Parole Office, a vet's clinic, some hair salons, among others.
No pets were reported to be in the vet clinic.
Craig Fire/Rescue was paged to the scene a little after 10 p.m., with West Routt County arriving later on a mutual aid call.
"When we arrived, the back one-third of the building was fully evolved," Nichols said. "It got up into the attic area and ran the whole length of the building."
At around 1 a.m., firefighters temporarily backed away from the fire to let the east side of the building burn out. Firefighters on scene said the fire was largely burned out by 4 a.m. The fire rekindled off and on throughout Monday. Firefighters are expected to clear the scene Monday evening, with Craig Police Department officers monitoring for fires overnight.

I didn't realize there were hair "saloons" in that strip - I may have missed a good time along with a haircut.
On a serious note - glad there were no animals or people injured. Guess the Chief got his wish afterall.

How come it took the firefighters so long to put out the fire? People lost their businesses in this fire. I fell that the fire department could have extinguished this fire a lot quicker and saved businesses. Can we depend on the Craig Fire Department on future fires???
parnelie 7 years, 2 months ago
I think that the craig fire department did a wonderful job as to maintain the fire As to the building I was there just when the West Routt Fire Department got there and from that point I could see that the effort was going to be one of containment not salvage. I would like to think that the community would support the fire department. I have talked with a few of the occupants of the building and they are of the same opinion that it was a total loss from the time they got there. I would however like to point out that there was an attempted brake in at the furnature store just as the fire was being reported that has not made the news yet, Strange that there was no mention of that or the dumpster fier that was called in last night. Is there a link to the county shop fire also????
Taylor 7 years, 2 months ago
No complaints here about the Fire Dept. I appreciate their service.
I hadn't heard about the attempted break in at the furniture store - our paper skips half the news in town...and lately space is being wasted on Steamboat stories. If I want to read Steamboat news, I'll go to the Pilot website. I also think there are an unusual amount of fires. I am eager to hear the cause of the 2 fires.
grannyrett 7 years, 2 months ago
Whoa Nellie-Brian-Those guys put their lives on the line every time they go out on a call. You obviously don't know any one on the fire department. They do a wonderful job. As someone who has had a relatives house burn and has had a family member in the fire department, I know what a wonderful job they do. Never have they just stood by and watched as a fire burned. They are very dedicated members of this community. Kuddo's to every one of them.
smb92 7 years, 2 months ago
I agree that the fire dept did the best they could and put their lives on the line. Not every story has a happy ending and I am sure the fire dept. feels heart ache too. They are every day people too that had friends and family that worked in the mall. I think instead of pointing fingers and being so negative about everything, we should all come together and help those who lost their businesses.....just a thought.
jb 7 years, 2 months ago
I agree, the Fire Department did an excellent job!! I am very proud of our men and women firefighters. From what I understand the fire was burning pretty hot and fast and the Fire Department did an excellent job from stopping it from spreading. However, it is very strange to have so many fires so close together.
xrsareus 7 years, 2 months ago
Unless you have walked in their shoes and know what you are talking about you need to keep your comments to yourself.
I know that Craig Fire/Rescue did everything possible to save that structure and are feeling down about the loss. I know what I'm talking about because I have walked in their shoes for 20 years and know that feeling of failure when a life is lost or the fire won.
The whole community should be proud of Craig Fire/Rescue and support them in every goal they try to achieve. They are putting their life on the line for everyone of us 24 hours a day.
Now Brian_titus, I feel you owe Craig Fire/Rescue a public apology for your comments on this forum and challenge you to apply next fall to become a firefighter since you think it is so easy. Come on see if you have what it takes::.
I also want to thank West Routt for the mutual aid, be safe brothers
gpb 7 years, 2 months ago
Every year Craig Fire/Rescue has a membership drive inviting community members to apply to become a firefighter. Since you have such a vast experience and knowledge of how fire works, how it is affected by different building structures and many other variables, we would welcome your application during the next membership drive.
That particular structure fire not only destroyed businesses and had a lasting affect on many lives of our community members, it also put every firefighter's life in peril. Granted it is a risk we take but this fire could have hurt or killed someone. There were many firefighters in the burning buiding at various points making sure there was no one in the building and trying to find ways to save it. We feel the loss, like most community members, but in a different way. We are mostly sadden by the fact that we did our very best to save people's livelihoods and, in fact, failed in our mission. We work hard to ensure the safety of others and their property but also work hard to ensure the safety of each other so that each of us may return home from every incident to the arms of our loved ones.
So "Brian", next year, I invite you to put an application into the fire department and help us to fight fires "better" than you feel we are doing now. And I also hope that someday we are able to help you in your time of need and that you will be gracious enough to accept that help.
Zane Olsen 7 years, 2 months ago
Brian_titus, everybody's still waits for your public apology!! I "fell" {feel} that YOU would have given your apology by now, because you are so fast, proactive and efficient . I have a son, brother in law, and several freinds in the fire dept. and have watched them work on fires before, like, one just a few hours before and believe me they don't just stand around and watch stuff burn. They saved several MILLION dollars worth of equipment on that one!! I feel for the businesses and people that are affected by this, but am more happly about the fact everybody came home SAFE the next morning. Not one thing in that building would have been worth a life or even a injury. Anyway if you get a chance say THANKS to a firefighter.
grannyrett 7 years, 2 months ago
Maybe we could all click on brian_titus name and send him an e-mail telling him he needs to apologize. Think he'd get the idea? Probably not.

Lichborne: Cataclysm PVP basics for death knights {WoW}
Sep 13th 2011 3:05PM To put it into perspective, DW frost used to be bad. Last season, DW wasn't a very viable spec to be running (although I used to do it because I didn't want to waste a spec so I used my PvE one). But with the changes to Killing Machine proccing off your offhand attacks, it has made it viable. With that said, you do have to take the extra hit talents in Tier 1 as opposed to increasing your range in that first frost tier. Another downside to it is that you're going to be hitting faster than you could with a 2h so you're going to be getting in more hits in a shorter period of time, but smaller hits. A 2H hits like a truck, so its just about the playstyle. DW is about bringing the fight to somebody and sitting on their face, while 2H is about hitting them like a mac truck.
This is the spec I'll use if i'm feeling peckish and want to go and do DW in BGs: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jbh0bZbIRrfuRdcz:Mamq0V0mz.

Patch 4.2.0 hotfixes for Aug. 10, 2011 {WoW}
Aug 11th 2011 2:55AM My guild has been using this as well - and as of 9:45pm PDT, this has still been working. We'll see if it works with tomorrow's raiding.
Breakfast Topic: What's the closest you've cut a boss kill? {WoW}
Aug 4th 2011 9:21AM My guild is the only 25 man regular raiding guild on the server and so our progression is primarily in that. Our 25 man team killed Baleroc the first time we saw him - we had maybe 2 or 3 wipes before downing him - and in the enrage. I can't remember how many people we had dead, but it was a pretty significant amount and our vent channel was filled with various derogatory comments and nerd screams. We definitely thought we were going to wipe. Then there were the final pull kills of Alysrazor where we had motivational music blasted over our vent.
On the flipside, there were the stupid wipes where we were so close. We had a 35k wipe on Baleroc once... this week we had a sub-10% wipe on Shannox the first pull of the night where we were betting on which DPS was going to die first - myself or another DK. Needless to say when we wiped, we life gripped the other DK into cleave range of Shannox scoring those who bet on me some free gold from the guild bank ;)
Breakfast Topic: Have you ever been abandoned by your game friends? {WoW}
Jul 4th 2011 8:47AM I originally started playing WoW on a RP server with a friend of mine and we started leveling our toons together. I started a Paladin, him a rogue. We got our toons up to level 20, then kinda split ways in terms of guilds. We still ran dungeons and quests together, but we weren't in the same guild due to differences in play times and whatever. He stopped playing WoW about a few months after Wrath dropped. I stopped way before that.
Second time this happened was when I got back into WoW to do raiding, and rolled on a new server to help out a friend who led a raiding guild. I got my originally pally up to level 55 so I could roll a DK, then leveled him to 80. Started raiding and after lackluster raiding performances, I left the guild. Soon after I left the guild, they stopped raiding and everybody stopped playing WoW for the most part.
Third time (yeah, I know it's getting boring) was when there was drama going on regarding the guild I was in because of how the guild was managed and I decided my time in the guild was up because I didn't want to have to put up with drama and instead wanted to raid. I left the guild, and everything kinda started going down the drain at that point. Eventually, the guild broke up and a portion of the core group transferred to another server, joined another guild then split off and formed their own guild when the GM of the guild they joined after they server transferred quit. I don't get to play with my friends from that guild anymore, so in some ways it is kinda being abandoned.

'Basketball Wives' Recap: 'Angry Birds' And A Bromitzvah
3. Tasha Is Mad
Before Tasha shows up to show how rude and petty she can be with people she just met, Evelyn and Shaunie alert us to the "The Angry Birds" story that they saw "on the blogs." Which blogs, you ask? None that I read, but whatever. This storyline isn't going to manufacture itself. Let these women work.
For the record, the angry birds are Shaunie and Evelyn and as "the blogs" tell it, the two stormed out of Tasha's party in a fit of rage. Speaking of anger, Tasha comes into the restaurant mad as hell and ready to fuss with the other four women. She starts off by saying that Evelyn should've stayed at the party because they're trying to repair their relationship. Tasha then tells Suzie and Shaunie that given they're trying to build a friendship, they shouldn't have left either. As she asks aloud, "Who comes to a birthday party and leaves? Who does that?" This woman is so draining and she just got here.
Despite Tasha being absolutely ridiculous, Shaunie apologizes for leaving her boring party after two hours of waiting. Tasha, who makes it clear that she takes her birthday very seriously, doesn't really accept the apology. When Evelyn asks if she got the gift they left them – a blinged out penis worth "$300 or something – Tasha says she did, but notes that she prefers a warm body. Tasha then asks Tami where was her gift? Why did they let Jennifer Williams go again?

Items available for purchase include a gym-floor replica for $25, a Dome brick for $50 or a bleacher bench for $100. A small plate attached to each brick is inscribed with the words, "Cleveland High School Dome 1966-2014 'Fierce Raider Pride.'"
Principal Autumn O'Bryan explained the potential profits could reach $20,000. The funds will be used to purchase equipment for the new Raider gymnasium.
Items outside of the memorabilia sales have also been sold in preparation for the needed purchases once the new gymnasium is constructed. These items include a large chunk of the blue bleachers installed in the 1990s, and their handrails.
"We are trying really hard to be good stewards of money. We also don't want to build a really nice facility and then not put things in there that match the facility the city gave us," O'Bryan said. "We want to make sure it is a nice place, it's a beacon for our community and that it is something our community [has pride in]."
She stressed there are only a limited supply of the bricks (300) and bleachers (50). Sales have already been made, so the numbers have since dwindled. The number of replicas to be sold is still flexible.
Bricks, bleachers and gym floor replicas have already been
purchased as gifts and for the sake of nostalgia.
Alumni were emailed the information before it hit the general public. Former Cleveland High students interested in being on the mailing list can sign up at chsraiders.com. Those listed will receive quarterly updates.
O'Bryan said a lot of people like the idea of having a piece of the Dome.
"It is a neat nostalgic piece. They are actually kind of cool," she said. "We had someone buy [a bleacher bench] to place by their pool. It would be a good piece for a child's room or a classroom."
Those interested in purchasing a piece of the Raider Dome can either go to chsraiders.com and print a copy of the mail-in form or email Eric Phillips at email@example.com.
All purchases will go through the Raider Nation Foundation. O'Bryan explained the organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed through the Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation. It was organized to provide a safe, comfortable way for the community to donate to Cleveland High.
This means donation checks in the future can be made out to the RNF nonprofit, instead of directly to Cleveland High.
O'Bryan explained the foundation will solicit and receive funds for everything from athletics to science clubs to band.
"It is not just for athletics. There are a group of bandies in the town who love the band, and who will always love the band," she said. "There is a group of theater kids. There is a group of choir kids. There is a group of science kids. There are kids, or rather adults, all over town who really bought in to what they were doing."
The sale of the Dome memorabilia is the first large project to be handled by the foundation.

- Color: Brindle
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Hunk's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hunka Hunka burning love? You bet!
Incredible Hunk?
Hunk LOOOOOVE!!!
What do you get when you cross awesomeness with a dog? A love Hunk!

I can get a little silly, I'll try to reel it in… So my name is Hunk and welcome to my edition of "Love This Dog" the game show where you can win the undying affection of a canine named Hunk from FDNL! If you think your family has what it takes, come on down and you can be the next contestant on "Love This Dog"!!!!
Ok! Ok! Seriously this time! I am just a great young dude looking for a family to make incredibly happy, but only in exchange for their forever love. I am social as can be and I just love people, I am having a total riot running and paying with all the other dogs and I even did great meeting the kitty cats …AND I am also becoming a real pro at the crate training thing!

Other Pets at Family Dogs New Life Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Hunk, a Portland 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 Portland, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Portland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland paves the way for another one to be saved.

(WCAU) A propane tank on a Philadelphia food truck exploded Tuesday afternoon engulfing a busy street in a fireball. A mother and her teenage daughter were severely burned and 10 others were injured.
The La Parrillada Chapina food truck was parked in the city's Feltonville section when around 5:30 p.m. the rear left propane tank ignited, Philadelphia Police said. The force of the blast sent the metal tank flying 50 feet into the backyard of a home as flames shot 200 feet into the air.
Surveillance video showed the intensity of the explosion and how fire engulfed both cars and people along the street.

"We find so many places where they are throwing cigarettes," said Andrew Hunt, library director. "I have already talked with the city attorney about the issue, but I have not received a final answer."
Board members agreed making the property as a whole nonsmoking would not deter some patrons.
Hunt said it would be nice to at least move smoking patrons away from the front of the building.
John Hagler said many children visiting the library currently have to walk through the smoke to enter the building.
Member Stephen Wright said discarded cigarette butts are not aesthetically pleasing, especially as the library considers new landscaping ventures.
Hagler made a motion to pursue nonsmoking regulations for the library property.
"That is for the health of our patrons, including the children, and for maintaining the cleanliness of the premises," Hagler said.
A nominating committee comprised of the board's current president, vice president, treasurer and the library director will be responsible for recommending potential members to the board.
According to Tara Brown, board president, two current members, Evealyn Clowers and Tara Brown are set to leave early this summer.
She said the committee will meet within the next several weeks to decide on recommendations.
The board will need two new members, one to fill the city position and another as a library appointee.
Board members agreed the special meetings held with the Cleveland City Council and the Bradley County Commission went well.
"I feel like they both went very well, and the presentations were well received," Brown said. "We showed goodwill toward them while also showing them what [the library has] been able to accomplish."
Wright said several members from the Council and Commission congratulated them.
"I had a lot of elected officials say I had no idea our library does so many things," Wright said. "We tell the story over and over and over again, so it is well known by us. We forget other people may not know."
Brown suggested hosting the special meetings every two to three years.
Hunt has continued to visit other libraries to witness their radio frequency identification systems at work. He visited two libraries last month and is planning on making one more trip. He said he hopes the board will be able to make a decision soon.
RFID is the use of a wireless noncontact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a tag attached to an object.
According to Hunt's assessment, the technology allows for a more efficient self-checkout system. Presentations to the library by salesmen also support this idea.
The current self-checkout line at the library is still dependent on library personnel. A librarian must walk the materials around the security gate following checkout. The RFID system should cut out the librarian from the checkout process.
Hunt said the self-checkout machines will be optional. A librarian will still be available for checkout.
"I am the most challenged person here when it comes to [technology] and I even enjoyed the Brentwood system," Hagler said of the board's fact-finding visit to a library there. "If I went back to that library, I would do all that stuff — check in and check out. It was all easy."
In additional news:
- Hunt said an end-of-the-year bonus is more likely than raises for employees, at this point.
- Since the last board meeting 48 adult programs were offered with 233 attendees; 37 children's programs were offered with 881 attendees; and 10 teen programs were offered with 61 attendees.
- The Bookmobile has undergone repairs and is once again fully functional.

Dear Lucky: How Do I Change Up My Look?
Q: I need a change! I've had long, lightly highlighted blonde hair since middle school. How do I change up my look (without a lot of extra maintenance)? —Dara
A: Dear Dara,
Fool with it! That's the joy of long hair: ponytail one day, messy topknot the next, Dolce & Gabbana–hair-accessory fabulousness (left) the next. You're especially fortunate to be blonde—your hair will really feature whatever accessory you choose! Do braids, do waves, do stick-straight, do Bardot, slick it back. If the long, blonde hair suits you and you don't mind the maintenance you currently do, stick with your style—and experiment. Dramatic color changes, serious chops and even bangs are for moments when you're hating your hair, or at the very least are really bored and wanting something totally new and different.

Norwood, MA (08/15/2011) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) unveiled today an integrated true RMS-to-DC converter that offers a best-in-class 100 µV to 3 V of usable dynamic range and the ability to measure extremely low signal levels with high accuracy and constant settling time.
The AD8436 precision monolithic true RMS-to-DC converter features AC conversion accuracy to better than ± 0.5 percent. Uniform settling for widely variant input values enables consistent conversion rates with results displayed promptly for near-zero and high-level AC inputs. The AD8436 is immune to temperature, crest factor and supply voltage variations. Zero DC offset voltages at the converter output simplifies calibration. This performance is packed into a compact 4 mm x 4 mm package integrated with a FET input and precision DC buffer amplifiers and consumes only 300 uA of power. The AD8436 is a good choice for remote, portable battery-powered instrumentation, energy and automotive applications where limited board space and outdoor environments are considerations.
RMS (root mean square) is a fundamental measurement of the magnitude of an AC and DC signal and is a better measure of the power in a signal than simple averaging. RMS-to-DC converters are used in applications where precise, low power measurement of AC/DC signals is the prime objective. The AD8436 system-on-a-chip design computes the precise DC equivalent of the RMS value and provides a level of linearity and accuracy across the entire input range that enables engineers to design systems with 90 dB of dynamic range.
The AD8436 extends the crest-factor to 10 – approximately double the current industry-standard digital solution – with minimal loss of accuracy. It is particularly useful for high transit signals and can be used in designs currently using ADI's low-power, true RMS-to-DC converters such as the AD736 and AD737 with improved performances. The device is laser trimmed and characterized at 300-mV RMS input and comes with dual and single power supplies. The AD8436 is the first RMS-to-DC converter specified to operate in the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. It is also available in a 0°C to 70°C temperature range version.
Product | Availability | Temperature Range | Price Each )er 1,000 | Packaging |
AD8436A | Full volume production now | -40˚C to 125˚C | $4.95 | 20-lead LFCSP 4 mm x 4 mm |
AD8436JZ | Full volume production now | 0˚C to 70˚C | $2.95 | 20-lead LFCSP 4 mm x 4 mm |
Complementary components to the AD8436 in low noise, low power, precision applications include the AD7190 24-bit Sigma Delta A/D converter and the ADR3433 micropower, high accuracy voltage references.
Innovation, performance, and excellence are the cultural pillars on which Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest growth companies within the technology sector. Acknowledged industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal conditioning technology, Analog Devices serves over 100,000 customers, representing virtually all types of electronic equipment.

A Right Fit
Careful planning makes a compact kitchen family-friendly
By Elle Decor Staff
Gathering everyone to eat at the same time is difficult for most families, but when home is a Manhattan apartment whose kitchen barely accommodates a table, it's all but impossible.
So when Michael and Sandy Richman bought the adjoining apartment in their Upper West Side prewar building, they enlarged their kitchen by a third, creating a 156-square-foot space that serves as a hub for them, their 14-year-old twins, Jake and Samantha, and their golden retriever, Oakley. "We had to wedge our foot into a loafer that was a tight fit," says Michael, metaphorically, who enthusiastically describes himself as the family's "prime cook and bottle washer."

San Lotano Oval Maduro Cigars
San Lotano Oval Maduro
The only thing that really needs to be said about the San Lotano Oval Maduro is the name of its maker, A.J. Fernandez as he is one of the hottest blenders in the business with a stable of box worthy buys in his barn. For those in the know this will be enough to provoke adding a box or two to their order, but for the uninitiated it may take some more persuading. Perhaps his most captivating is the San Lotano line, and of these, the Oval is top dog. A 96-rated cigar considered one of the top releases in 2011, the San Lotano Oval is loaded with A.J.'s own secret blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos hiding behind a Habano 2000 wrapper, all of it pressed into the unique rounded shape for which it it named.
Not nearly as full-bodied as might be expected, the San Lotano Oval is still best appreciated by more experienced smokers. Grab a drink, anything from a vodka tonic to a robust red wine to a half bottle of lukewarm water, a seat and get to smoking. You won't regret it. While you're at it, take the time to wager on some of A.J. Fernandez's other offerings as well: Man O' War, Diesel, or Nica Libre.

National Park Trust is very pleased to once again recognize one of our outstanding teachers for their dedication, creativity, and hard work to connect their students with our parks and public lands. This year "The Buddy" National Teacher Award for Excellence in Environmental Education was awarded to Pam Alexandroff, a fifth-grade teacher from Jose de Diego Community Academy in Chicago, IL. Pam has explored the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (IN) and Hal Tyrell Trailside Museum (IL) with her students, exposing them to an entirely different world near their community. She has worked to bring parks into her classroom through naturalist and ranger visits and also through her daily lesson plans. In the photo above, Pam (center) is pictured with Dick Ring, NPT's park projects director and Alice Vera, the school principal.
Our "hooves off" to Pam! And a HUGE Buddy Bison thanks to Katten Muchin Rosenman, LLP who generously sponsor Jose de Diego Community Academy each year. They also provided the wonderful resources so Pam and her daughter Alexandra could travel from Chicago to DC and be recognized by Senator Ron Wyden (OR) and all of our guests at the Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award event on June 11. Hear her comments from that evening.
Washington, D.C. (June 13, 2014) – National Park Trust (NPT) awarded Senator Ron Wyden (OR) the 2014 Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award at its annual event held at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Sen. Wyden was recently named chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and previously served as chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
NPT recognized Sen. Wyden for his outstanding record in park preservation and environmental stewardship, and for his ability to create bipartisan solutions. According to NPT, one of his greatest accomplishments in recent years was his leadership on the Omnibus Public Land Management Act. This Act protected over 150,000 acres of land in Oregon, and created new wilderness for future generations to enjoy. Sen. Wyden has also been a steadfast supporter of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, continuously pushing legislation that would guarantee full funding. In addition, he co-sponsored a Senate Resolution officially recognizing NPT's Kids to Parks Day in May 2013 and May of 2014.
"Preserving Oregon's special places has been near the top of my agenda ever since I was elected to Congress, not only because it helps the environment but also because outdoor recreation creates a lot of jobs in our part of the world. National parks are a resource that everyone can enjoy, so this award from the National Park Trust is truly an honor," said Sen. Ron Wyden.
"I am so delighted that NPT is honoring Senator Ron Wyden with the Vento Award. I know that Bruce would be delighted as well. Senator Wyden's commitment to preserving our nation's treasured national parks and environment and providing opportunities for all citizens- especially children – to experience our national parks makes him a public servant who truly deserves NPT's recognition," said Sue Vento, NPT Leadership Council.
NPT also announced that two new schools in Oregon will participate in its Buddy Bison education program: Boise-Eliot/Humboldt in Portland and Fossil Charter School in Fossil. Emerson Electric is underwriting the program in Fossil, OR and Prudential is underwriting the program in Portland, OR.
NPT established the Vento Award in 2000 to honor the memory and legacy of Bruce F. Vento, a twelve-term Congressman from Minnesota, dedicated environmentalist and a champion of legislation for America's parks. The Award honors a public servant for his or her commitment to the environment, and his service, skill and innovation in support of our public lands. Past recipients include Sen. John McCain, Rep. Mike Simpson, Sen. Mark Udall, Sen. Susan Collins, Sen. Jeff Bingaman, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rep. George Miller, and Sen. Harry Reid.
National Park Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving parks today and creating park stewards for tomorrow. As people spend more time indoors and as successive generations grow up with less of a connection to nature, NPT wants to build greater awareness and appreciation for the importance of our country's public lands and parks.

The Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award is given annually to a public servant who has demonstrated a lifetime of outstanding service, skill, resourcefulness or innovation in the preservation of land, water or historic resources for the legacy of America.
In 2000, National Park Trust established the Bruce F. Vento Public Service Award to honor the memory and legacy of Bruce Vento, a 12-term Member of Congress from Minnesota and former Chair of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands. During his tenure, Congressman Vento passed more park legislation than any other previous chairman. Congressman Vento died on October 10, 2000 at the age of 60.
Each recipient of the Vento Award has expanded the nation's understanding of what it means to have a lifelong legacy and commitment to protecting America's heritage.
Past award recipient, Congressman John Lewis stated in his 2004 address, "Bruce Vento was a good man. He was an environmental stalwart – a Member who stood second to no one when it came to protecting our environment, strengthening our parks, and preserving our national heritage. He was the environmental conscience of the House, and he continues to inspire Members of Congress – and people throughout the country – who are fighting to make our nation a little cleaner and a little greener for our children and generations yet unborn."
At a 2000 dinner tribute to Vento, former President Bill Clinton said, "He has steered into law more than 300 bills to protect our natural resources." Fellow Minnesotan and former Vice-President Walter Mondale stated, "I think Bruce Vento has been one of the most impressive and effective congressman in modern Minnesota history. It's hard to think of an environmental issue where his leadership has not been found."
Born on October 7, 1940 in St. Paul, Vento attended the University of Minnesota and Wisconsin State University. He worked as a science and social studies teacher before his election to the state House in 1970. He was elected to his first term in Congress in 1976.
National Park Trust Awarded Grant to Implement Environmental Education Program in MISSISSIPPI
Program ENHANCES ELEMENTARY School Science CURRICULUM and promotes
Health and Wellness
(Washington, D.C. - October 21, 2013) -- National Park Trust (NPT), in partnership with Mississippi Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, is proud to announce that two Mississippi schools will join their Where's Buddy Bison Been?® environmental education program. The Where's Buddy Bison Been?® program, now in its fifth year, has been recognized by First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative and grew out of a need to encourage young people to discover and explore America's parks and public lands and water.
The goal of the Where's Buddy Bison Been?® program is to bring science and history lessons outdoors to parks, in order to cultivate the park stewards of tomorrow, and promote healthy living through increased activity and outdoor play. Nearly 50 schools across the country have participated in the program since it was launched in 2009.
This year's program will kick off in Mississippi the week of Oct. 21 through 25 and allow students from Moss Point Elementary and Forest Elementary to learn about their local ecosystem and their native animal and plant species. Two hundred 5th-grade students and teachers from Moss Point Elementary will visit Pascagoula River Audubon Society in Moss Point while 170, 2nd-grade students and teachers from Forest Elementary will visit LeFleur's Bluff State Park in Jackson.
"We are excited to bring our Buddy Bison school program to Mississippi this year and look forward to working with the students and teachers at Moss Point Elementary and Forest Elementary to bring their science learning outdoors where the students can have 'hands-on' experiences and explore their natural world," stated Grace Lee, executive director of National Park Trust.
As part of the company's longstanding commitment to be a citizen wherever they serve, Mississippi Power employees will serve as volunteers and work closely with NPT to implement this year-long program. Volunteers will participate in classroom and park visits to help students understand the importance of science and encourage multiple visits to parks and public lands.
"This is a fantastic program that uses museums, nature trails, bayous and more to teach students about Mississippi's environment," said Mississippi Power President and CEO and member of the National Park Trust's Leadership Council Ed Holland. "The students will be having fun and learning at the same time, which is the best way to make an impact on a young mind."

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Addition Protects Historic Battle Site
ATLANTA, GA. – A significant site in the Battle for Atlanta has been added to the nation's most visited Civil War battlefield site, The Trust for Public Land, The National Park Service, and National Park Trust announced today.
The site includes Nodine's Hill and it is now part of the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park in metropolitan Atlanta. The 42-acre property saw fighting, particularly centered on Nodine's Hill, in the June 1864 Kennesaw Mountain battle, when the Confederate Army led by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston tried to halt the advance of Union forces led by Gen. William T. Sherman.
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is almost 3,000 acres and aside from protecting a major Civil War site, it also provides a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities in metro Atlanta. According to the NPS, Kennesaw Mountain is the nation's most visited Civil War site.
"Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is a great destination for both history enthusiasts and nature lovers, and this addition to the park offers something for every visitor," said Curt Soper, Georgia state director for The Trust for Public Land. "It was particularly important to protect Nodine's Hill in the Civil War's sesquicentennial years and permanently preserve the site of fierce fighting in the Atlanta Campaign."
"As we approach the Civil War 150th commemoration of the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, this is the opportune time to reaffirm our national commitment to the protection of these hallowed grounds and create a lasting legacy, one that will be enjoyed for generations to come," said Nancy Walther, Superintendent, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
The Nodine's Hill land includes remnant Union entrenchments, rifle pits, and cannon placements.
After victories in 1863 at Vicksburg and Chattanooga, Sherman marched his Union forces south to Atlanta in May 1864. Johnston's forces defended Atlanta, in part by using the ridges of land northwest of the city to slow Sherman. By June 19, Johnston had retreated to a strong defensive position at Kennesaw Mountain near Marietta, 20 miles from the center of Atlanta. Kennesaw Mountain was the last major battle before Sherman's forces reached the outskirts of the city.
Known as Hays Farm, the property is also adjacent to a 58-acre, 40-home subdivision built after an unsuccessful conservation attempt in 2005.
Funding for the $1.76 million addition to the national park came from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). LWCF is generated from offshore oil and gas receipts, rather than from taxpayer dollars. U.S. Senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss and U.S. Representative Phil Gingrey (R-11) supported this conservation effort.
The National Park Trust is supporting and assisting in acquiring inholdings in National Parks across the country and provided financial support to The Trust for Public Land to protect this property. Additionally, National Park Trust and The Trust for Public Land were joined by the National Park Conservation Association, Civil War Trust, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation in advocating for the preservation of Hays Farm at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.
"The National Park Trust is very pleased to work with The Trust for Public Land on this important preservation effort," stated Jonathan Cohen, NPT board member. "In addition, as part of our commitment to engage local students with the importance of park preservation, NPT created an education module that aligns the science and history of the Kennesaw Battlefield with state standards. NPT also will bring nearly three hundred 5th-grade students from Hollydale Elementary and Fair Oaks Elementary to the park in November for a day of outdoor education."

About the TCES
The Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences (TCES) is a distinctive partnership between public and private institutions of higher education in two states. It provides a world-class center for scientific research in the understanding of alpine lakes and the preservation of the environmental quality of such important resources.
The facility provides an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to associate with and study under some of the leading scientists in the fields of environmental science and environmental policy. In addition, it is intended that this research facility, through the use of interactive research stations, will be a resource for the members of the Lake Tahoe communities.
Because of the synergistic environment that is being created, and the environmentally friendly quality of the structure, the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences is one of the most important venues in the world for the study and development of solutions for the problems created by developmental pressures on fragile ecosystems.
Located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Lake Tahoe straddles the state line between California and Nevada. The Lake is located 6223 feet above sea level on 193 square miles and is the largest alpine lake in North America.
Sierra Nevada College
Sierra Nevada College (SNC) is a small liberal arts college located in Incline Village, Nevada on the northeast shore of Lake Tahoe. Several years ago, the institution began building a new campus on 20 acres of forest land in the heart of Incline Village. This new campus provides dormitory facilities, classrooms, and the state-of-the-art Prim Library and Learning Resource Center for a current undergraduate population of 320 students. Major academic programs include Business Management, Computer Science, Environmental Sciences, Fine Arts, Humanities and Psychology. The institution is also a pioneer in cross-disciplinary studies that include Entrepreneurship and Entertainment Technology.
Following the opening of Prim Library in 2004, the next phase of the Campus Plan was to build a science facility. The Desert Research Institute (DRI – the research arm of the University of Nevada system) and the Academy for the Environment at the University of Nevada, Reno became strategic partners and lessee of space in the facility.
Partnership with UC Davis
The University of California at Davis has conducted research at Lake Tahoe for the past 45 years, commencing with the pioneering work of Dr. Charles Goldman. Most of the current policies of conserving and improving the water quality of Lake Tahoe are based on its extensive research and analysis. In 2003, UC Davis completed a fund-raising drive for the construction of a critically needed new laboratory for the Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC). However, the university was faced with substantial challenges in finding a location at the lake for a facility.
In 2004, representatives of Sierra Nevada College approached the administration at UC Davis with a proposal that they join in an interstate, cross-institution partnership and locate their new laboratories in a 45,000 square-foot science facility to be built on the SNC campus. After considerable negotiations involving both institutions and the University Of California Board Of Regents, a Memorandum of Understanding was approved. This memorandum provided for UC Davis to become an equity member in the facility to be known as the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences. It also stipulated that university personnel would utilize approximately 40% of the facility for TERC's laboratories and offices and for the Thomas J. Long Foundation Education Center.
Laboratory and classroom facilities available to Sierra Nevada College allow it to increase its undergraduate enrollment substantially. Recently, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (part of UC San Diego) and the University of Nevada at Reno have expressed interest in participating in the TCES.
Platinum Rated Green Building
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), in cooperation with the National Science Foundation, maintains a Center for Building Performance. It also organized a university/ industry/government partnership in 1988 called the Advanced Building Systems Integration Consortium (ABSIC). Its members are prominent leaders in the creation of high-performance buildings, utilizing principles of renewable energy sources, sustainable materials, and integrated systems to promote high performance "green" buildings.
As a member of the ABSIC Consortium, Sierra Nevada College has been working closely with Carnegie Mellon and other partners in the design of the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences. In early 2005, the Trustees of the college decided to work to achieve a Platinum certification for the building from the U.S. Green Building Council (www.usgbc.org). The rating and certification system established by the Council is known as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), and the "green" construction standards are the first independent national standards of their kind. Ratings range from Certified, to Silver, Gold and Platinum. To date, only thirteen buildings in the United States have achieved the Platinum status. None of these buildings are a laboratory facility.
Recognizing the significance of having the Tahoe Center for Environmental Science become a Platinum building, a major donor stepped forward and agreed to fund a portion of the additional steps required for Platinum Certification. The TCES facility is nationally recognized as a high-performance structure, demonstrating building technology, design and construction of the future.

Most plastic pans that I've used leave much to be desired. Fortunately there are alternatives. |
Don't substitute one of the new lithium batteries if the recommended battery is an alkaline. This could actually damage the scale's electronics if not designed for it. Additionally, the low battery indicator circuit is calibrated for the specific battery type. It may not warn you when the battery is low if you use something other than the recommended type. Check the instructions for the recommended battery type.
If nothing is mentioned, you should use the same type of battery that it came with. Of course, you can always call the manufacturer and ask them what battery type they recommend. If your scale came with an AC Adapter, by all means use it. It will allow you to leave the scale on for extended periods without worrying about the battery going dead in the middle of a reloading session. However, you should be aware that the inexpensive "wall wart" powder adapters are not "regulated" and can pass on any line voltage fluctuations to your scale resulting in instability. If your scale is acting unstable and you are using the power adapter, try running off batteries (use fresh batteries please) and see if it improves.
Tip #4: Warm-up time
Warm-up time can affect the scale's measurement stability. Some scales can take as long as 30 minutes to warm up to a stable internal temperature, especially if the room is unusually cold. With an AC powdered scale, you can just leave it on while you are making other preparations. If your scale has an Auto-Off feature, you may need to disable it or set it for a longer time if possible.
Battery powered scales may not allow long warm-up periods especially if it is one that drains batteries quickly. In that case, allow 30 to 60 seconds warm up time, keep the room temperature as stable as possible before starting a reloading session and use the zero button before every weight measurement.
Tip #5: Calibration
Those check weights that come with most scales aren't just for looks. Use them! I check my scale calibration every time I set up for a reloading session. It is a good way to tell if your scale has warmed up and is ready to use. You should also check calibration if the scale has been moved (like to your shooting buddy's house), is being operating at a significantly different temperature than when it was last calibrated, and after you change the battery.
If you just bought a new scale, checking the calibration is the first thing you should do before using the scale. Perform the calibration procedure as described in the owner's manual only if the calibration is off. But before deciding to perform calibration, make absolutely certain the scale has had a chance to warm up and the readings are stable. You may find that after sufficient warm up time, calibration will not be needed.
Always use the calibration weight(s) that came with your scale. Depending on the resolution of the scale, the "class" of calibration weight(s) that come with it will vary. In the United States, three classifications are used:
– ASTM E 617-97, Classes 0 through 7
– OIML R111, classes: E1, E2, F1, F2, M1, M2, M3.
– NIST Class F; (Only used for commercial weights & measures testing)
If you want to read a complete table comparing these weight classes go to http://ts.nist.gov/WeightsAndMeasures/caqmass.cfm Or http://www.precisionsolutions.com/docs/prodinfo/ReferencePDFs/ASTM_reference.pdf Lower resolution scales may only come with ASTM Class 6 (equivalent to OIML class M2) calibration weights.
A 50g Class 6 calibration weight can vary by as much as ±7mg (±0.007g / ±0.107grain) and a 100g calibration weight can very by as much as ±10mg (±0.010g / ±0.154grain). That doesn't sound like much but when you are calibrating your scale, it can make a significant difference if you use the calibration weight from another scale.

Re:Actually That's Not Quite True (254 comments)
I have spent quite a lot of time being one of those bums in the street that you claim has no right to elected representation.
I said no such thing. What I did say, however, was a statement on human nature, and how those that seek power seek out those who can help them hold onto, and gain more power.
Nowhere have I said a street bum does not deserve representation. I simply pointed out how street bums do not receive it due to human nature and the goal seeking behavior of those who seek power.
Now go take a reading comprehension class and your meds.
You can form governments, write constitutions, espouse ideals, and preach the utopia that we would all live in if everyone had equal representation, but in the real world, we all have a representative, who is human, and has human flaws, and human behaviors, and human nature will value the advice of a corporate CEO over that of a street bum so close to 100% of the time it might as well be 100%.
No need to crucify me for pointing it out. Having caused the problem, and being to blame for the problem, is not the same as simply being aware of the problem.

Re:the first amendment is something I hold very de (254 comments)
Being able to board a train or bus without having my bag be searched (ostensibly for weapons, but really for drugs).
You can board a train or bus without being searched, if YOU OWN the plane or bus in question. If someone else owns it, then you are going to follow their rules or be denied service, just like you as the owner of a vehicle can refuse to give anyone you want a ride for any reason. Nothing here has changed.
Being able to post a video criticizing Universal Studios copyright policy with licensed music by famous artists without having it be taken down.
You can post a video on your own website that is critical of any company you want using whatever content you have legal right to publish. If it is youtubes website then you will follow youtubes rules or be denied service. If the criticism you post is baseless, you may be subject to lawsuits. Nothing here has changed.
Be able to play games on a decent computer without having that computer run software that spies on me and makes sure I'm not doing something the company would prefer I not do.
You can play games on a computer without being spied on. Disconnect it from the internet and write your own game code. If its someone elses game code, and they require internet for communication, and you agree to have info communicated, then accept the terms or don't purchase or play the game. Nothing here has changed.
Being reasonably confident that my representative cares more about what I and 50 of my neighbors say than what his or her corporate sponsor says (though that's been a serious problem for more than 20 years).
Have people who sought and gained and wielded power ever cared what the bum in the street thinks ? No. The bum in the street brings nothing to the table, and odds are high he speaks from a position of ignorance and irresponsibility, not from a position of success and responsibility, and this is why the street bums voice is ignored. He can't manage his own life, let alone national policies. Nothing here has changed.
Being sure that if Watergate happened again it would be exposed and the president forced to resign over it.
Politics and governance are dirty businesses, and society and the individual are at odds. It has always been this way. Scandals are swept under the rug if possible. If not possible, damage control plans are executed. FYI
In summary, none of the things you claim are different now, are any different than they always have been. You haven't lost anything that someone else wasn't gifting you in the first place. It was theirs to take away.

future value of policy changes
Re:Well this is disturbing. (445 comments)
There's no workflow or business model for people who could live with waiting 6-12 weeks to get back a replacement drive with whatever data could be recovered copied to it for a halfway sane price. It's overnight-at-unlimited-cost, or data-gone-forever, with no real middle ground between the two extremes.
Are you daft ? It's called "backups" and "spare parts" and it's how the entire world maintains uptime.
Failure to make backups and/or keep spare parts for critical applications, is your process issue.
Re:Suspicious timing (445 comments)
Floods wipe out facilities, act of god expense incurred.
Temporary supply shortage + stable demand = prices go up.
Forced to prioritize, manufactures bring production online first, before warranty repair.
Newly restored manufacturing lines not fined tuned enough to estimate failures as before.
Many, many factors
As for the root cause of the need to produce a profit, it has shit all nothing to do with "wall street" and everything to do with property taxes levied on land / improvements, by the government, designed to insure productive use of said land, a burden we all bear.

Which is alot like saying, even tho theft of corn from farmers fields has gone up, farmers are growing more corn than ever.
Re:Death penalty (146 comments)
The US is fairly tolerant of those who don't physically harm others.
You can be a drug addict, or a mentally deranged individual, wander the streets, urinate in public, and exhibit any number of other behaviors that polite society would consider 'undesirable' or 'disgusting' and you won't receive the death penalty.
Only approximately 100 or so individuals were given the death penalty last year. Of those 100, I'd say more than half probably have a good chance of never actually receiving the punishment.
That said, if you outlawed the death penalty, I would imagine that some of the people who deserve it ( by current standards ), would still receive it. By this, I mean, say a criminal broke into a house and killed the wife and daughters. The husband returns home, and knows ( or at least thinks he knows ) who did it. If the husband knows the justice system won't punish the offender with the death penalty, he may very well take care of it himself.
Re:Death penalty (146 comments)
I disagree.
What are the ethics of forcing the public to sustain the life of the handful of members of society who have proven by their own actions they don't value the lives of others ?
In your view, it's perfectly ethical to take money from grandma to feed a deranged serial killer indefinitely.
When you produce a 100% effective treatment for deranged serial killers, that will convert them into productive, or at least, harmless self-supporting members of society, then the death penalty will no longer be necessary.

Re:Ownership of Spectrum is simply wrong.. (80 comments)
It's abuse of a public resource for private gain.
When the government licenses the spectrum to a public company, financed by public investors, in exchange for public funds, so that the public company, can offer services to its public customers, exactly how much more friggin public can you make the process of utilizing a public resource ?
Did you go to public school or something ?
Re:Software radios (80 comments)
If virtually everything could be done with software on a power-sipping cpu
This is being done already. But instead of thinking CPU, as in desktop/laptop computer, think CPU, as in custom reconfigurable DSP/FPGA combination specifically designed for implementing radio.
Re:Ownership of Spectrum is simply wrong.. (80 comments)
I'd like to add, that arguing that there should be limits, and then arguing that the limits don't actually limit anything, is an insult to the intelligence of the majority of slashdot readers.
Re:Ownership of Spectrum is simply wrong.. (80 comments)
You, and the other poster, are horribly confusing the practice of accounting, with the practices of investing an innovating.
Re:Ownership of Spectrum is simply wrong.. (80 comments)
I suspect you've never run a business, or at least not handled the accounting side of one. Placing an arbitrary cap on the length of time a company can recover their expenses is exactly what you want.
I suspect you've never managed an economy.
If you place a cap on the amount of time a company can recover its spectrum expense, you limit the scope and scale of potential services for that block of spectrum.
Furthermore, as the government ( the public ) is the one holding the auction, placing a time limit also caps the amount of money that can be raised for the treasury today.
If you want to experience the joyous wonders of a planned economy, move to North Korea.
Check your vast expanse of business acumen at the door.
Re:Ownership of Spectrum is simply wrong.. (80 comments)
Its not "sold"
Placing an arbitrary cap on the length of time a company can recover their expense, will have those unintended consequences you claim you don't want.
Re:Software radios (80 comments)
And how is this any different than the people who camped outside for days waiting for the first iPhone ?
Early adopters pay more. It has always been this way.

D-Link is normally known for networking equipment like switches and routers. In fact, we've had the pleasure of reviewing their products in the past and found them to be of excellent quality. In the last few years though, their reportoire of product has expanded to include items like media servers, VOIP handsets, Internet cameras, network storage servers and recently, Digital Photo Frames. Although digital photo frames can seemingly be purchased anywhere (even at the grocery check out), D-Link thinks they can do it better. Today, we'll be looking at D-Link's DSM-210, a digital photo frame that combines a 10 inch screen, WiFi and 1GB of onboard memory.
Features and Specifications
It's pretty easy to lump this product with so many other like products on the market. They all have a screen, they all have some memory onboard or the ability to take a memory card, and they all show your pictures. It's what D-Link has done to tweak this frame that sets it apart.
If you're Internet challenged, don't worry. The frame still functions albeit in a more impaired state. You lose all of the above, but you can take advantage of the 1GB of memory onboard to store your photos. I know, it's piddly in this day and age. That's why D-Link lets you use either the memory card slot or a USB drive filled with your photos to supplement that.
All of this is wrapped around a 10 inch LCD screen that supports a 16:9 format at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. If you're into more techie specs, you can find a whole bunch of them right here.
What's in the Box
In order to keep the product simple and accessible, the D-Link DSM-210 comes with a fairly simple bundle. Inside the box you get:
- DSM-210 Photo Frame
- Frame Stand
- Black and White Faceplates
- AC Power Adapter
- Remote Control
- Quick Setup Guide and Software CD
- Ethernet Cable
Overall, it's really all you need to get going if you've got a wired or wireless network. If you have neither, well it sucks to be you. The only thing that's really missing are a set of screws and wall anchors to allow you to hang the frame if you choose to.

First...thanks to Al for sharing his knowledge about soils. After reading a ton of discussion about 5-1-1, I have been searching the forum for the definitive tapla post on repotting in general and using the mix. I, and a huge bunch of others, am about to be repotting a bunch of flat plants (coleus, begonias, petunias, etc.) and need to help some older plants older plants where root care may be involved as well. If this subject has been covered well and a link is available, please post it. Thanks! Jeff |

Hyundai's HL730-9 wheel loader most nimble in 9 series
Posted By Kerry Clines On September 20, 2012 @ 8:55 am In eRoadPro Newsletter | No Comments
Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas Inc. says its new HL730-9 wheel loader is the smallest, lightest, and most nimble of its new 9-series, boasting a 9.2-second cycle time. The machine is powered by a Cummins Tier-III QSB4.5 engine with three engine modes. The loader is equipped with long-life hydraulic filters with 1,000-hour service intervals and Hyundai certified hydraulic oil said to last up to 5,000 hours before changing. The company's Hi-mate remote management system provides operators and service personnel access to vital service and diagnostic information via an online portal.

Winter in northern Finland can be very hard. Temperatures below - 30°C occur regularly, and many birds like ptarmigans or black grouses dig caves into the snow to escape the cold. Even the big capercaillie does so. After some hours under the snow the birds fly in the trees again to feed on pine needles and birch buds, their poor winter diet.

Man Charged with Attempting to Carry Concealed Knives Onto Airplane
Reno, Nev. - A California man was indicted Wednesday by the Federal Grand Jury on charges that he attempted to board an airplane at the Reno-Tahoe Airport with three concealed pocket knives, announced Daniel G. Bogden, United States Attorney for the District of Nevada.
ANDREW VAN MILLER II, age 41, a resident of Brea, California, is charged with one count of Carrying a Weapon on an Aircraft. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
According to the court records, on June 5, 2005, MILLER allegedly attempted to travel on an Horizon Air flight departing from Reno, Nevada, to Los Angeles, California, with three pocket knives concealed in his carry-on bag that would have been accessible to him during the flight. The knives were identified during the screening process by Transportation Security Administration employees and prior to Miller arriving at the boarding area.
An arrest warrant was issued for MILLER. An initial appearance and arraignment and plea hearing will be scheduled before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the near future.
The case is being investigated by officers with the Reno/Tahoe Airport Police and Special Agents with the FBI, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul L. Pugliese.
The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare reviews have gone green - and as always we're here to put all the scores in one place for you.
In our Alan Wake's American Nightmare review we call the XBLA game "a new beginning for Alan, with an interesting arcade mode that needs a couple of tweaks." 7.5 is the score.
As for the other reviews across the internet, they're mainly positive. Here's your list:
OXM UK: 8/10 - American Nightmare is good value, but it hints at more than it delivers - a world in which urban myths can come true never materialises in this episode. But that just makes us wonder what Remedy has got in store. It'd be a shame to stop now, just when it's getting good.
Joystiq: 4/5 - American Nightmare isn't perfect. As he writes his own escape from the Dark Place, the tale ironically lacks the narrative punch of his first trek into the shadows. Even so, it invites us back into Alan's world, takes us on a new adventure and sheds new light on his predicament.
Eurogamer: 7/10 - As the title intimates, the story ends with question marks lingering over the nature of Wake's experience. But even if it really is his nightmare, our troubled writer is arguably better company asleep than awake.
Destructoid: 8.5/10 - If anything, my main gripe with American Nightmare is that it shows Remedy can take the Alan Wake series to places that could blow us away if someone would just give them the resources to create another full retail title, yet we are only allowed glimpses of various mechanics and experiments in their downloadable titles to date.
IGN: 8/10 - Alan Wake's American Nightmare is an extremely impressive experiment, created with the aim of releasing an essentially fully-fledged retail game through Xbox LIVE Arcade. American Nightmare absolutely succeeds in this regard, with action-packed gameplay, a cool theme, and an exciting Arcade Action mode.
Videogamer: 6/10 - Whilst ambitious, the promise in Alan Wake's American Nightmare never materialises. The elementary combat system is entertaining, but ultimately overshadowed by a hopelessly contrived plot.

Reviewed Granola Bars
Mar 20, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"These granola bars are terrific. Very simple recipe. Do not try to skip toasting the granola, this is key to a deep toasty flavor. I added coconut and cinnamon to give a little twist. Definitely let them cool a bit, but cut before they completely harden. Don't worry that they seem like they will fall apart, they will harden and stick together""

Follow-Up Postings:
Good info. That is more or less how I did it this winter. Except I used bales of straw instead of wooden frames and I spread a layer of straw over the plastic covering. I'm hoping for better results than I've had with other methods. What is your estimated success rate doing this? |
- Posted by brian_zn_5_ks N.E. Kansas (My Page) on Tue, Jan 29, 08 at 19:06
Thank you, Catherine. Lovely site you have, with much interesting content. We block our perennials out on the ground, cover with a permeable fabric, and that is it until spring. Never a problem with rodents - yet, at any rate, and it has been over 15 years of this. brian |
- Posted by herblady49 Z6 PA (My Page) on Thu, Jan 31, 08 at 8:05
Hi Josh, The straw bales should work out great, because of the insulation. I chose the wood frames because they needed to be permanant frames. I overwintered in them and sold out of them. Just make sure you bait, especially with straw frames. |
