text: AHRQ Procedures for Providing Reasonable Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities (2) Reasonable accommodation procedures developed in compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidance. Reasonable Accommodations AgreementOnce an accommodation has been approved, the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance and Operations Division (EEOCO) Reasonable Accommodation Specialist may recommend that both the supervisor and employee enter into a Reasonable Accommodation Agreement. Although not required, such an agreement serves to clarify the nature of the accommodation granted. Reasons for having such an agreement include the following:In some cases, the accommodated employee's functional limitations might increase or decrease, thus requiring periodic reviews and adjustments to the approved accommodation(s). For example, some disabilities are degenerative in nature and may require additional accommodation(s).Conversely, a disability may improve to the point that an approved accommodation can be ameliorated or removed.Once an accommodation has been approved and a Reasonable Accommodation Agreement entered into, if requested, the Reasonable Accommodation Specialist or designee will review the accommodation on an as-needed basis with the supervisor and employee to determine if any changes are needed or if continued accommodation is required.Such an agreement should contain the following:The approved accommodation.The responsibilities and expectations of both parties.The need for periodic evaluations/reviews, if applicable.Once a permanent (long-term) impairment has been documented, the decisionmaker's request for further information should be limited to reasonable documentation on the need for further accommodation (if the need is not obvious) and not on the existence of the disability/impairment itself.Return to ContentsDenial of the Reasonable Accommodation RequestThe decisionmaker must consult with the Reasonable Accommodation Specialist before initiating the decision to deny a request.At this point, if the decisionmaker has an alternative accommodation that has not already been offered to the employee, the decisionmaker may do so now. However, if the employee rejects it or the decisionmaker decides that the reasonable accommodation should be denied for other reasons, the decisionmaker must complete the "Denial of Reasonable Accommodation Request" form and give the completed form to the individual who requested the accommodation, as well as send a copy to the EEOCO Reasonable Accommodation Specialist. The explanation for the denial should be written in plain language, clearly stating the specific reasons for the denial. When the decisionmaker has denied a specific requested accommodation but offered to make a different one in its place, which the employee rejected, the denial notice should explain both the reasons for the denial of the requested accommodation and the reasons that the decisionmaker believes that the chosen accommodation would be effective. Reasons for the denial of a request for reasonable accommodation may include the following (however, the actual notice to the individual must include specific reasons for the denial; for example, why the accommodation would not be effective or why it would result in undue hardship):The requested accommodation would not be effective.Providing the requested accommodation would result in undue hardship. Before reaching this determination, the decisionmaker must have explored whether other effective accommodation options that would not impose undue hardship exist and therefore can be provided. A determination of undue hardship means that the Agency finds that a specific accommodation would result in significant difficulty or expense, or would fundamentally alter the nature of the operating division's operations. When evaluating budgetary or administrative concerns to determine if undue hardship exists, AHRQ will follow the standards set forth in regulations and in "Enforcement Guidance on Reasonable Accommodation and Undue Hardship Under the Americans With Disabilities Act" (available at http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/accommodation.html).Medical documentation is inadequate to establish that the individual has a disability and/or needs a reasonable accommodation.The requested accommodation would require the removal of an essential function.The requested accommodation would require the lowering of a performance or production standard.The written notice of denial shall inform the individual that he or she has the right to file an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint and may have rights to pursue Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) procedures. The notice shall also explain the procedures available for appeal of a denial of reasonable accommodation.Return to ContentsAppeal of a Denial of Reasonable Accommodation: ReconsiderationIndividuals with disabilities can request prompt reconsideration of a denial of reasonable accommodation.If an individual desires reconsideration, he or she should ask the decisionmaker to reconsider the decision. The individual may present additional information in support of the request. The designated manager will respond to the request for reconsideration within 5 business days.If the decisionmaker is the supervisor, and he or she does not reverse the decision, the individual can ask the Office/Center Director to do so. The Office/Center Director will respond to this request within 10 business days.If the decisionmaker is the Office/Center Director, and he or she does not reverse the decision, the individual can ask the AHRQ Deputy Director to do so. The AHRQ Deputy Director will respond to this request within 10 business days.In all other circumstances, the request for reconsideration will be submitted to the original decisionmaker within 5 business days. If the original decisionmaker denies the request for reconsideration, the individual may present the request to the next level supervisor, who will respond to the request within 10 business days. If the original decision is not reversed, the request for reconsideration may be elevated to the next management official within the chain of command, who will respond within 10 business days.At any point in this process, the individual may also contact EEOCO and initiate the Informal Mediation Process.Pursuing any of the informal dispute resolution procedures identified above, including seeking reconsideration from the original decisionmaker and appealing to the next person in the chain of command, does not affect the time limits for initiating statutory claims. An individual's participation in any or all of these informal dispute resolution processes does not satisfy the requirements for bringing a claim under EEO or MSPB procedures.Return to ContentsInformation Tracking and ReportingThe decisionmaker will complete the "Reasonable Accommodation Information Tracking" form and submit it to the EEOCO Reasonable Accommodation Specialist within 10 business days of the decision. The decisionmaker should attach to the form a copy of all information received as part of processing the request, including medical information.The EEOCO Reasonable Accommodation Team will maintain the records for the employee's tenure with AHRQ or 5 years, whichever is longer.An annual report will also be provided to the HHS EEO Programs Group, along with the annual "Affirmative Action Program for Individuals With Disabilities Report."The report will contain the following information, presented in the aggregate: The number of reasonable accommodations, by type, that were requested in the application process and whether these requests were granted or denied.The jobs (occupational series, grade level, and Agency component) for which reasonable accommodation has been requested.The types of reasonable accommodation that have been requested for each of those jobs.The number of reasonable accommodations, by type, for each job that were approved and the number of accommodations, by type, that were denied.The number of requests for reasonable accommodation, by type, that relate to the benefits or privileges of employment and whether those requests were granted or denied.The reasons for denial of requests for reasonable accommodation.The amount of time taken to process each request for reasonable accommodation.The sources of technical assistance that were consulted in trying to identify possible reasonable accommodations.In addition, the report will provide a qualitative assessment of AHRQ's reasonable accommodation policies and procedures, including recommendations for improvement.Return to ContentsRelation of Procedures to Statutory ClaimsThis policy is in addition to statutory protections for persons with disabilities and the remedies these protections provide for the denial of requests for reasonable accommodation, and does not take the place of these provisions. Requirements governing the initiation of statutory claims, including time frames for filing such claims, remain unchanged.An individual who chooses to pursue statutory remedies for denial of reasonable accommodation must perform the following:For an EEO complaint: contact an EEO counselor in the HHS's EEOCO within 45 days from the date of receipt of the written "Denial of Reasonable Accommodation Request" or reconsidered denial.Initiate an appeal to MSPB within 30 days of an adverse action that can be appealed as defined in 5 C.F.R. §1201.3.If a member of the HHS EEOCO has had any involvement in the processing of the request for reasonable accommodation, that staff member shall recuse him or herself from any involvement in the processing of an EEO counseling contact or complaint in connection with that request.Return to ContentsDistribution and InquiriesThe AHRQ reasonable accommodation procedures shall be posted on the AHRQ Web site. These procedures will be provided in alternative formats when requested by or on behalf of any employee or applicant.Any person wanting further information concerning these procedures may contact the HHS Reasonable Accommodation Team, EEOCO, at (202) 690-6555.Return to Contents Appendix A. Readers, Interpreters, and Other Personal AssistantsAHRQ will make readers, interpreters, and other personal assistants available as appropriate. Other personal assistants perform physical tasks that an employee cannot perform because of a disability. For example, an investigator with limited or no upper extremity mobility may need assistance in physically organizing a file. The investigator would perform the essential functions of the position—that is, conduct the investigation and draft documents—and the assistant would perform only the physical task. In no case should a staff assistant be called upon, by management or by the employee(s) to whom he or she is assigned, to perform the essential functions of the job held by the employee with the disability.Hiring AuthorityReaders, interpreters, or other personal assistants hired to fill approved positions may be appointed under the noncompetitive Schedule A authority, 5 C.F.R. §213.3102 (ll). Persons with disabilities hired as readers, interpreters, or assistants may also be hired under the §213.3102 (u) authority.AHRQ Interpreting Services PolicySign language interpreting is a reasonable accommodation that may be required by 1) individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing who want to participate equally in the workplace, 2) visitors entitled access to Agency programs that are offered to the public, or 3) applicants applying for a position within AHRQ. Upon request, the Agency will provide sign language interpreters for all AHRQ-sponsored events, including applicant interviews, orientations, meetings, functions, training, office parties, or other events taking place during regular business hours.Work Events Outside of the WorkplaceAHRQ will provide a sign language interpreter for an employee who is deaf or hard of hearing who, as part of his/her job, attends a meeting or event outside of the workplace. If the employee attends a conference or training program that is sponsored by an outside organization, the sponsoring organization is principally responsible for providing interpreters. AHRQ will provide interpreting services, however, if the sponsoring organization fails to do so.Telephone CallsEmployees who are deaf or hard of hearing should schedule a sign language interpreter when services are needed to interpret business-related telephone calls. These employees may also request that the interpreters retrieve and report all voicemail messages. Telecommunication relay services are available to all employees to serve telephone needs when a sign language interpreter is not available.Return to Contents Appendix B. Selected Reasonable Accommodation ResourcesComputer Electronic Accommodations Programs (CAP)AHRQ Contact: EEOCO Reasonable Accommodation Specialist, (202) 690-6555The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) now has an Interagency Agreement with CAP to provide assistive technology, devices, and services to HHS employees with disabilities at no cost, as granted by the National Defense Authorization Act.Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)1-800-669-6820 (TTY)1-800-669-4000 (Voice)The EEOC's Publication Center has many free documents on the Title I employment provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), including the statute, 42 U.S.C. §12101 (1994), and the regulations, 29 C.F.R. §1630 (1997).

Wednesday, July 06
Busch Stadium
Attendance: 37,223
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Pinch-hitter Ramon Hernandez lined the go- ahead RBI ground-rule double in the 13th inning, as Cincinnati overcame blowing an eight-run advantage to beat the Cardinals, 9-8, spoiling the return of Albert Pujols to the St. Louis lineup.
Pujols returned to the field Wednesday, one night after being activated from the 15-day disabled list. The three-time National League MVP had been sidelined with a broken left wrist, but returned well ahead of schedule. He went 1-for-6 with an RBI single.
"I saw him hit four balls on the nose," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said of Pujols. "He was on everything. I thought he was outstanding. He's probably a little tired."
Jon Jay led off the bottom of the ninth with a homer off Reds closer Francisco Cordero, but the Cardinals couldn't grab a sweep of this three-game series after limiting Cincinnati to one run over the first two contests.
Raul Valdes (0-1) walked Jay Bruce to start the 13th. Drew Stubbs singled with one out, and with two down Hernandez hit a low line drive just inside the left field line. The ball took three bounces before hopping into the stands.
Aroldis Chapman, the eighth Cincinnati pitcher of the night, recorded his first career save. He allowed a single to Tony Cruz with one out in the bottom of the 13th, but fanned Daniel Descalso and caught Jay looking at a 101 mph fastball to end it.
"Our bullpen for the most part did a great job," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That's about as hard of a victory you're going to get right there."
Jose Arredondo (1-3) pitched a pair of innings to get the win, Cincinnati's second in six games.
It looked like a lost cause early for the Cardinals as Jake Westbrook surrendered three homers among his eight hits and seven runs charged over 4 1/3 innings. That included a homer from Chris Heisey on the first pitch of the game.
Cincinnati came out firing on all cylinders, getting to Westbrook for five runs in the first before an out was recorded. Heisey began the game with a homer to left, while Edgar Renteria singled and Joey Votto walked ahead of a Brandon Phillips two-run triple. Bruce followed by launching a two-run shot to right.
Fred Lewis went deep in the fourth to extend the Reds' edge to 6-0, and in the fifth, Phillips singled with one out and Scott Rolen barely cleared the wall in left to make it an eight-run bulge.
Reds starter Bronson Arroyo was cruising, but then hit a wall. The Cards began their comeback in the sixth, picking up two runs on a Descalso double and RBI groundout from Ryan Theriot.
Matt Holliday started the home seventh with a shot that barely cleared the wall in left-center. Then, with runners on first and second with one out, Descalso's base hit plated another run and a Heisey throwing error brought in one more to make it 8-5.
Two batters later, Theriot lined a double to center which scored Descalso, and after a walk to Skip Schumaker, Pujols chopped a run-scoring single over Rolen's head for an 8-7 contest.
Jay greeted Cordero with his homer to right-center, but Pujols killed the rally by hitting into an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play.

R.A. Dickey shows how to throw a knuckleball
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 19, 2012 with Comments 0
We don't need to scream from the back of the Dickey congregation any longer. He's been found by all at this point. It's simply awesome to watch. A knuckleballer that's captivating any baseball fan worth his salt. The story is amazing. But, more impressively, the pitching is amazing. Dickey's array of knucklers is dazzling. The fast one. The slower one. The super-slow one.
In each start, he seems completely in command, controlling all of the knuckleball versions and making them dance as he'd like. The master puppeteer, artfully choreographing one breathtaking performance after another.
Sure, he's also throwing the fastball for strikes – a pitch that is becoming increasingly effective as it continues to be juxtaposed against tumbling non-spinning knuckleballs of a dizzying variety. But it's the always-intriguing knuckleball that has everyone mesmerized (and batters baffled).
To here him talk about, it seems so simple. Yet, nobody in recent history has mastered the usually tough-to-tame pitch to such a dominant degree. Let's get the lesson from R.A.
P.S. Whatever you're doing, sir, please keep doing it.

My Soarer is insured with SGIO, maybe try them?
Does anyone know of a cheap insurance company in WA that'll cover for fire and theft rather than comprehensive for turbo vehicles over 10,000 dollars?
any help appreciated...as all the usual guns, sgio, rac etc you have to fork out the big bucks to get full cover at that price point or higher.
My Soarer is insured with SGIO, maybe try them?
Dan Rucci
SGIO sucks poo
They quoted me $3500 for a years worth of insurance. Im 20 and havent made a claim since I got my licence (used to have a Suzuki GTi)
The same type of cover with RAC was only $1600. Plus the woman on the phone was a lot more friendly.
Dont even bother with FAI or other smaller companies if your car has a "sports exhaust" or any other fruit. They are so conservative they wont even look at insuring your prized machine.
If your buying insurance, be honest to how many points you have on your licence and the exact details of mods made on your car. Insurance companies are complete turds, they have the right to not pay up if they find out something you didnt tell them, even if you wrapped your car around a tree and ended up in hospital for 3 weeks. Unsympathetic bastards.
Having an alarm can also reduce your premiums.
I feel like I have Aids, in my eyes..
My car (95 SSS) with turbo engine is insured for $21k with RAC, it costs me $590 a year to insure.. fully.
I also told them of 1 drink driving offence and 3 speeding offences which increased my excess only. (to about $1500) in the case of an accident.
History, specs, and build log
do just Just cars cover WA, i think they would try them. www.justcarinsurance.com.au
actually dont worry just saw there website.
only up to $4000.
sgio dude,
u wont get cheap insurance you are only 20... so you cant have a very big NCB, and your in the very bad age range

That quote from RAC sounds high I take it you don't have any more than about 30% NCB.
P.S. while some insurers can be bastards, they aren't all bastards but I guarantee they will be if you don't tell them the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They decline claims where you don't because it's their legal right to do so if you don't tell them everything as you are doing the wrong thing by them. Can't blame them really.

Pulsssar- how the heck did you get it down to that price??? i tried to tell them everything...alarm blah blah, no accidents etc... and mine is still at 1700 dollars...just too much for my liking for 14k[and i considered saying 18k too].
My problem is, I lost my no claim when my last car was broken into-12 months ago- in a monitored carpark...I have a feeling that raised my dollaramount about 500 bucks
rolla- sgio gave me an average quote AND they wanted me to come in to determine car value...
even though i specified a real low price too...cheap bastards
i thought rac was orright, my cars insured for 8000, they gave me a 20% no claim, i'm only 18 and for a year is jus ova 1400 (although i pay just ova 1500, coz i pay by the month) but i thought was pretty good, for full comp.
240hp@13 psi
13.3 @ 108mph (old motor 170hp)
WA's SR20VE conversion person
Sounds like you have not been allowed any NCB. What were you on prior to the burglary?? what shows on the old insurance renewal etc. I've got a 2000 N15s2 insured with RAC for 650 but that's with a max bonus and very high excess for me due to driving history.Originally posted by GT4me2

A friend has a small house that is elevated about 3' from grade. It has a carport on the end and area about 8x8 at the front has been turned into a washroom. The water heater is also there. To access the room you walk down three steps from the dinning room. This room is built on a slab. The main house roof extends over this room so the ceiling is something like 11 feet high. We are trying to think of the least expensive way to raise the floor up to be level with the main house. I know we could go all the way and joist out a floor extension from the main house. But I am thinking it might be easier (and cheaper) to relocate wiring and plumbing and then build a floating deck floor inside the room, repanel the walls and should like nice. Would anyone in construction please comment on this deck option. Thanks |

Um, a deck has posts and joists, so you are talking about doing the same exact thing. As far as "floating" it, no way. That's not really structurally sound for a floor system unless it has plenty of room to move about. |
I'm not sure it's wise to raise the water heater to the level of the rest of the home. If it every leaks, you don't want it flooding the floors (ask me how I know x2). |

"Imposters in The Temple," by Martin Anderson.
Here's a reprint from Laissez Faire Books issued in1992. "Feisty, tell all sizzler about the corrupt professors who rule our universities today, Imposters in The Temple. American intellectuals are destroying our universities and cheating our students of their future ."
"At many universities, tuition is now about $20,000 a year. For this princely sum you get professors who often don't teach because they'd rather spend their time cluttering academic journals with un-readable, occasionally plagiarized articles reporting on research of little interest, even to their peers. The Cloistered professors, however, do have a passion for leftist politics. Outside of Albania, American universities remain the last great Marxist strongholds."

0Oct 22, '11 by scorpioRN78The NCB test is more like a personality test. There's no right or wrong answer. You just answer based on what your belief is to patient care, customer service, work ethics, etc. They're looking for a good match. It's a pass or fail. If you fail, you don't move forward to an interview and you cannot apply to any hospitals of Valley health system for 6 months.

Coz, I have applied for sunrise online for their RN positions, and Im a new grad.

0Dec 11, '12 by sjwcom1Hi,
In my experience with Sunrise hospital, I got a response from a nurse recruiter soon. It's about 4 days after I turned my application.
If you are under consideration, they going to send you some questions regarding communication skills and your critical thinking.
I had an interview with a unit manager but I did not get a position. It took two days whether or not I was chosen.
Anyway, good luck with your job searching. -
0Apr 6, '13 by itsmedebieeeHi! I'm a newly licensed nurse and I have no experience at all, maybe just my student clinical exp, I tried applying in hospitals but they've got some qualifications I do not meet but still applied anyway. I've been through many sites and found out that there's no new grad program in Vegas hospitals so far. If you have any idea where nonexperienced RNs like me can start working, it will be much appreciated. Thank you!

August 10, 1929: "Forest Ranger Hudson, in charge of the lookout station on Broke-off peak, reports an eruption from the main peak of Mount Lassen, smoke and steam spouting 6000 feet into the air and carrying up rocks, which dropped back." (The Oxnard Daily Courier)
June 29, 1933: "The glamor of city life holds no appeal for John Gransbury, forest Service lookout stationed on Brokeoff Mountain in Lassen Volcanic National Park.
When the first of June rolls around each year, John takes up his duties at a little house perched 9,232 feet above sea level. There he remains until the first winter rains dispel further likelihood of a half mile up-hill hike to his place of abode from the highway, he isn't troubled much by curious tourists.
After the fire season closes, John doesn't return to city life as might be expected after a lonely summer. Instead, he journeys to a small settlement near the entrance to the park, where, for the greater part of the winter, he is 'snowed in.' " (Chillicothe Constitution-Tribune - Missouri)
July 29, 1934: "Being a hermit is a passion as well as a profession with John Gransbury, lookout fire observer on Brokeoff mountain in Lassen National Park.
During the summer months he lives in a cabin six feet from the rim od a 1,200 deep extinct volcanos crater and surveys the surrounding landscape for fires.
When the summer task is finished he moves to a little closed up resort known as Viola, to become caretaker, and is snowed in all winter.
When the wind blows, sometimes at a terrific rate, there is always the possibility of the little single room cabin's being blown off into space.
Gransbury has held down the lookout job since 1924. He has hundreds of thousands od acres of valuable timber land dotted with farms, ranches and small towns, under his surveillance." (Charleston Gazette - West Virginia)
June 15, 1938: "John Gransbury who has been lookout for the Forest Service on Brokeoff Mountain for the past 15 years, died of a paralytic stroke yesterday at Mineral.
Mr. Gransbury served longer than any lookout on the Lassen Forest." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
April 25, 2014: The lookout site and five acres of forest land were listed on a California Department of General Services excess properties under review for state use listing, for possible sale. (from the above noted publication)
September 14, 1923: "On one particular Thursday, lookout Ewalt on Colby Mountain called up Butte Meadows several times to say that he worried because he was certain he could smell smoke but just as certain that no smoke was rising anywhere. Guard Speegle was all primed for a quick getaway. It was not noted until the next forenoon, however, that a shakemaker reported a small fire in a canyon and on the opposite side of a ridge from Colby Mt. As well as having a sense of humor, it is recommended that a keen sense of smell be made one of the requisites of a lookout's job. -- Lassen." (California District News Letter)
Mr. O.E. Kirkpatrick and his wife have occupied the station during the fire season from June 1 to November 1. They have little fear of the snakes reaching their quarters which are on a thirty foot steel tower. A flagstone walk was built from the road to the tower and a sign at the road greets all visitors. "Rattlesnakes, watch your step." Despite the rattlesnakes, 217 people registered at the station, however a good many visitors remained in their cars and failed to register.
Kirkpatrick has a small bore shotgun always in readiness and during the period September 18 to October 11, killed from the tower 85 rattlesnakes. The largest of these was four feet long and the largest number of rattles 14.
Several offers have been made to the lookout man for the snakes, for the purpose of food and medicine, his best offer being $1.50 a snake, alive or freshly killed, but he feels that watching for fires, and the time spent shooting snakes keeps him pretty well occupied. 288 smokes have been reported from this station, the fires being on both State and National Forest lands.
A kit for treating rattlesnake bite is kept handy at the station, but so far there has been no occasion to use it. During June, July and August, no snakes are to be found, but early spring and fall Kirkpatrick says, "It's a rattling good lookout. - Brokenshire - Lassen -" (California Ranger)
April 25, 2014: The lookout site and forty acres of timber land were list on the California Department of General Service's list of excess properties under review for state use, possibly for sale. (from the above mentioned publication)
October 14, 1938: "Eagle Peak Lookout is now known, locally, as Pigeon Roost due to a decided preference for this station by wandering homing pigeons.
On September 7 a pigeon bearing a band #OHC 3231 Au 38 arrived at the Lookout. He seemed perfectly at home, grazing around the station by day, except during meals when he insisted upon entering the lookout and eating the crumbs, and going to roost in the storeroom at night. Wright Graham, Lookout-fireman, decided that he was blessed with a permanent companion so bestowed upon OHC 3231 the name of Charley.
This companionship lasted until September 10 when two more pigeons, one a male and one a female, arrived from the general direction of Reno. Graham named the new arrivals (BRC 3702 Au 37) Martha and (BRC 2406 Au 36) Joe and decided that he was going into the pigeon business whether he wanted to or not. A requisition was placed for food and for material to build a suitable pen for the increased family.
On the morning of September 11, Martha and Joe left the storeroom and after a breakfast of crumbs departed in the direction of San Francisco. Shortly after their departure Charley appeared in a condition which indicated that he had been severely beaten by Joe and Martha.
On September 13 when Charley failed to appear for breakfast Graham made a search and found him dead. Feeling that Charley was not of an aggressive nature, Wright believes that this is a case of murder and is requesting that all agencies be on the lookout for the suspected killers.
If Martha and/or Joe are apprehended Graham wishes to be informed of their capture and the final disposition of the case. - Beattie - Mendocino -" (California Ranger)
July 27, 1971: "Fire fighters manning six units of the California Division of Forestry, a tanker truck from Corning Jaycees and two aerial tankers contained a blaze early last evening that burned 100 acres of grassland west of Henleyville on Paskenta Road.
Smoke was spotted from the Eagle Peak Lookout, located northwest of Paskenta." (Red Bluff Daily News)
October 6, 1941: "Two brush fires which burned 160 acres on the Saddle Camp Road have been brought under control by rural fire crews from Bakers camp and Antelope Valley headquarters after a battle which started yesterday.
The first fire broke out near the Bayless place in large growths of greasewood about 2 p.m. yesterday. The second blaze which started at 3:30, was near the Greasewood Hill Lookout just outside Trinity National Forest." (Red Bluff Daily News)
June 21, 1937: "Inskip Lookout near Paynes Creek has been given direct relief to Mr. and Mrs. Porcupine and family. Not being satisfied with a succulent diet of weeds and grass, they started eating on the new garage and tool storage building. Before they were discovered, they had badly damaged the lower portion of it.
District Ranger Brokenshire lost no time in cutting off their new diet. A strip of galvanized iron 20 inches wide was placed around the building. This material proved too tough for them. However, a close watch was being kept by Hubert Grissom, lookout, to prevent a band of Angora goats from trying a diet of galvanized iron." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
1930's: An emergency lookout was established.
August 3, 1920: "Adventures of a Lone Lookout. Miss Abbie Bromlee, Tomhead lookout, Trinity, while watching for fires the other day discovered a huge mountain lion within a stone's throw of her cabin. She reached for her six-shooter but before she could use it the lion disappeared in the brush. It is believed that the animal was one of three which had killed and devoured a colt the night before. Dogs were placed upon the trail of the lion but it had not up to this time been captured." (California District News Letter)
October 21, 1960: "A San Francisco man missing since Sunday has been found in good condition in the Yolla Bolly wilderness area west of here.
Calvin Moore, 40, was traced Thursday to the bottom of Cottonwood Creek Canyon when smoke from his campfire was spotted from Tom Head Peak fire lookout." (Eureka Humboldt Standard)
September 30, 1914: "Lassen Peak, the Northern California volcano, more active than usual of late, started spouting fire and superheated rock tonight, according to a lookout of the Forest Service on Turner Mountain." (New York Times)
July 3, 1937: "Oscar Edwall, lookout man on Turner Mountain, picked up the smoke at 1:14 a.m. The Mineral suppression crew was called and got away in one minute. The fire was in a very dangerous place, and had it not been for the quick action of Henry Foster and the men with him, this would have proven a very dangerous fire." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
August 10, 1937: "The lookout tower on Turner Mountain, on the Mineral District of the Lassen, has been thoroughly remodeled and painted during the past week, according to Ranger Brokenshire. The work was done by O.E. Edwall, lookout on Turner Mountain, and Lide Barber, ERA foreman. The tower is 65 feet high and has been thoroughly covered with aluminum paint from top to bottom. The old windows have been replaced by modern ones, insuring better visibility." (Lassen Advocate - Susanville)
February 13, 1937: "Mike Kirkpatrick, United States forest service employe, was found safe at the Windy Cut lookout station after he failed to call up headquarters here.
Kirkpatrick, who was sent on a 15-mile ski trip to shovel snow off the building, was found by Ted Rex and Si Brand. He explained that he forgot to report by telephone." (The Morning Oregonian – footnote 1)

Course Description
The Highlands Gran Fondo showcases some of the best riding around. It's hard to believe riding this good is located in such close proximity to the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. The Highlands area is a 1,343 square mile region of Northern New Jersey which is noted for its scenic landscape and environmental importance. Much like this ride, the area is composed of rolling farmland, hilly ridgelines, and winding roads that weave up and down the lush green mountains. As you enjoy the diversity of the beautiful terrain and scenery, the route will take you through three counties and two states. As the loop progresses so will the elevation, the gran loop will gain 8,000 vertical feet. This event is sure to expose you to roads you never thought could be tucked away so close to one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country.

Katie Cassidy's alluring updo has a hint of volume on top and rolled-up length in back.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Start with dry, slightly wavy hair and isolate a section in front.
Step 2: Take a two-inch piece within the isolated section and hold it straight up. Use a tight-tooth comb and backcomb in short strokes along the back of the section toward your scalp. Repeat with all sections on top.
Step 3: Smooth the hair on the surface of the section as you direct it back and to one side. Gather length in back and, starting at the ends, roll your hair up horizontally. Pin securely into place low at the back of your head.

Cut the strip of clay in to 5 pieces and stack them as shown.
Cut off both ends of the stack and squeeze each end till it pointed. Now you will get a log or a cane. Reduce the cane and shape it into a petal shape. Cut out several petal, 10 for each flower.
Stretch one of the petal out and roll it on to the small knitting needle to make the base for the flower. Make it plump like a pear shape. Then stick the petals on the base. Don't push the petals together, make them stick together lightly, that way the flower will look light and airly just like fresh flower. 4 petals inside and 5 on the outside and make the outside a bit lower than the inside row .
Add sepals and small stem with green clay.

I am re-thinking the way I do my work. I get bored easily so to do things over and over is not my cup of tea, but when it's time to do shows, I need a lot of goodies to fill up the table. So I decided to try this method. Nothing new, I am not re-invent the wheel, just different way to work. So I made rings out of some wire. (I will show you how later, I promise) Then made a round base, covered with some canes then insert the ring into it. You can use store bought ring blank, the one with round base. Here's how.
Black clay, ring base, several canes, copper mesh, circle cutter and plastic wrap.
1.Make rings from wire.
2. Run 2 sheets of black clay at thickest on PM. put on top of each other, cut out w/ cutter. Make several of those.
3. Cut small pieces of copper mesh, put them on top of the discs.
4. Run another sheet of black clay at thickest, cut out w/ round cutter. Put them on top of the copper mesh, press lightly make sure it stick together.
5. Put plastic wrap on top of each disc, cut out w/ round cutter, bake for 10 minutes.
6. Prepare the cane sheets, make sure they are big enough to cover the disc. Cover the discs with them, trim the edge, then decorate with other canes or what ever you want. Bake.
7. Turn the disc up side down, carve the deep channel with carving tool, deep enough that the ring can be embedded into it. Cover the channel with some clay. Press the ring into it, then cover with more clay, bake and put varnish on them.
If you have the ring blank with round base on it, just carve the circle out of the back to embedded the ring in it. The possibility is endless, you can make different shapes too.

I bought the Metal stamps with Chinese word on them a while back from somewhere I can't remember (Sorry). They are not as big as I expected but using them this way might work out fine.
So, what you need is some Black Clay, stamps, plastic wrap, texture tool, copper mica powder, clear varnish..
1. Make a sheet of black clay. Run it through the thickest setting on PM.
2. Stamp the words on to the clay. Leave enough space in between words
3. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over clay. This way when you cut out with the round cutter, the wrap will round up the edge of the cut out pieces.
4.Press the cutter lightly on the wrap, enough to see if the word will be in the center, then press the cutter down.
5. Peel off the wrap, and excess clay.
6. Texture the discs lightly if you want then cover the surface with copper mica powder. Apply it with your finger so it only stick to the surface, not in the words. Baked.
7. Prepare the base clay for beads. Make a round shape clay about the size of your thumb., press down to almost flat. press a disc on both sides, make sure they line up at the middle. This might need a few practice. Press the discs down between your finger, like so.
8. Make texture with a needle tools, then bake. After that, put a few coats of varnish on the disc. Mica powder do rubbed off through time.
I made a few beads and a flat disc with one side. Those I will use to make rings.
Don't forget to check out my project with "Ring a day" group on Flickr. We have to make one ring each day for a year (365 totals) and post the picture on Flickr.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to acquire quarterback Blaine Gabbert from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth-round draft pick, apparently finding a capable backup for Colin Kaepernick.
The teams made the announcement Tuesday at the start of free agency, and the 49ers said the deal would be complete once Gabbert passes a physical. Gabbert started the first three games for Jacksonville last season before being benched in favor of Chad Henne, re-signed to a two-year contract worth $8 million Friday.
The 24-year-old Gabbert was the 10th overall draft pick in 2011 out of Missouri. He has thrown for 22 touchdowns in three NFL seasons, completing 414 of 777 passes for 4,357 yards in 28 games and 27 starts.

About 10 lbs of white sugar Watermelon juice to 4.5 gallons OG approximately 1.120 Acid blend, yeast nutrients, pectic enzyme, Red Star Champagne Yeast. To get the juice from the melons I scooped them into a blender and pureed. Then poured through a mesh strainer. After draining a bit I dumped the pulp into a cheese cloth lined colander to let it drip out into a bowl while I worked on my next batch. I'll take an SG reading and taste it in a week. If I really like it I'll add about a gallon and a half of watermelon juice sweetened to the 1.12 gravity when I rack it.
It's been in the primary for 3 days. I only open and stir my primary once, on day two. The fact of the matter is that yeast are anaerobic except during the time that they are reproducing. I also use a sealed top and airlock for the whole fermentation process. C02 is heavier than air, so covering with a towel does nothing but invite wild yeast and bacteria to the party. If I was fermenting something that produced a lot of chunky head I'd use a blowoff tube instead of airlock. That said, my airlock is chugging away like a steam locamotive trying to make up for lost time, and I can hear the must fuzzing away.
Good luck to you! I did a test batch of watermelon wine just once and it turned out pretty foul and stinky. I still have a bottle of it in the fridge to see if it gets any better, but the rest has been dumped. My problem may have been overly ripe fruit.
I did a batch of watermelon mead and it turned out awful. Did pretty much exactly what you did but used honey instead of sugar. Good luck though!
Have you made this before or is it an experiment?
This is a Jack Keller ricipe. I used sulphides to avoid spoilage during fermentation. I also pitched the same night that I prepared the must. I guess watermelon juice goes bad VERY quickly, which could be the reason for the bad luck y'all have experienced.
I ferment so quick that the watermelon still has an under-ripe taste when it hits the glass. No problems going bad here.
You don't control the speed of fermentation, that's up to the yeast.
Not necessarily better. One gets better flavor at 65° than 75° for most wine yeasts, but the yeast works faster at 75-80° Yeast also works faster in a lower acid environment, but most wines taste like poop without enough acid. Furthermore, fermentation doesn't effect the ripeness of the melon. Use ripe tasty melons and your wine will taste more like tasty melons. If you mean still fermenting swill by under ripe, then just let it age and clarify longer before bottling and drinking. Once the alcohol reaches a preservitave level you don't need to worry about spoilage.


text: The Pop'n TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventures wiki last edited by DeF on 09/04/14 06:47AM View full history OverviewPop'n TwinBee Rainbow Bell Adventures is an action platformer spin-off to Konami's TwinBee vertical shooter series. In the game the player controls one of three anthropomorphic ships from the shoot'em up series, including Twinbee, Gwinbee and Winbee. TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventure was originally published in Japan for the Super Famicom on January 7, 1994 and was released in the Europe later that year. However the European version removed all of the game's dialogue, the secret endings, and the battery save function among other features. An English fan translation patch for Rainbow Bell Adventures was created by Aeon Genesis on November 14, 2013 which retained all of the game's content.

Well, this happened. The Senate has voted for a partial nuclear option on the filibuster. Legislation and Supreme Court justices will still require 60 votes. But other nominees will only need a majority. Normally, senate rule changes require 67 vote, but Reid used a different procedure to pass the change 52-48. The primary issue here was the filibustering of three judicial nominees to bring the DC Circuit to its usual contingent of 11 judges.… Read more

Bluster from the Filibuster Buster
It seems that Senator Harry Reid (D-Mordor) is out to finally change the Senate rules to limit the circumstances under which a filibuster (or threat of one) can be done.
My response? Good.
For too long, the filibuster has been abused by the minority party (both parties at one time or another) to choke the business of the Senate. Worse, Reid has been hiding behind it as an excuse for not allowing anything to get … Read more

Why are most companies hindered by a low level of innovation? Analytical thinking, according to Roger Martin, who presented at a recent Strategic Capability Network event in Toronto. Specifically, most business people rely on deductive reasoning rather than design thinking. Analytical thinking is fine for polishing existing practices but seldom leads to breakthroughs in knowledge.
As the pace of technological change continues to accelerate, design thinking will play an increasingly vital role in the survival of companies. Organizations capable of moving fluidly through the knowledge funnel — from mystery to heuristic (design thinking) to algorithm to computerization — will have a competitive edge on less innovative enterprises.
Design thinking has important implications for HR, particularly in talent management. Firms should be assessing this competency in selecting staff, rather than recruiting more run-of-the-mill specialists. Presumably companies with online assessments will have an even bigger competitive edge as change accelerates. Or will they?
Though most firms suffer from a low level of innovation, they are also hampered by weak internal communication, poor teamwork and sporadic performance feedback. These behavioural patterns are strikingly similar regardless of the industry, company or people involved because of focus. The human mind operates like the zoom lens of a camera and companies have the same basic structure — jobs confine attention to a narrow field of activity. When attention is focused, it's easier for people to break problems down than to connect the dots in new ways and innovate.
Focus accounts for several other common problems. When people work in narrow job compartments, they are isolated from one another, which weakens internal communication, teamwork and performance feedback. Traditionally, these patterns of behaviour have been seen as separate issues requiring different solutions: creativity training, employee surveys, team building and annual performance reviews. Unfortunately, these tools have had no lasting impact on day-to-day behaviour.
However, in unusual cases, a new leader arrives or a team jells and people become more open, innovative and co-operative, which reduces isolation between leaders and staff. Instead of the 10 per cent of minds in management trying to solve all the problems, the intelligence of the other 90 per cent of employees is engaged in solving problems.
The choice of heuristic for organizational performance has important implications. If it is design thinking, HR needs to assess, select and promote individuals with this capability, which still leaves issues with internal communication, teamwork and coaching. If the heuristic is focus, leaders need to manage the quality of interaction within their companies more systematically. As change accelerates, the efficiency of managing one core factor rather than five surface problems translates into a growing competitive advantage.
Tom Tavares is SCNetwork's lead commentator on organizational effectiveness and a senior organizational psychologist. In addition to managing in large corporations, consulting in varied industries and coaching executives, he has written extensively about the relationship between business performance, behaviour and change.

I ran all my exterior downspout drains a few years back with the thin walled PVC 4". I am now running the pipe another 100 feet to dump out into the woods. Now I see all the home centers carry is the dual walled 4" pipe (HDPE outer, black inside)... with slip fittings. I'd really like glued joints to make sure that I am not leaking water all across the yard, but is there any glue that I can use in the slip joints to make sure it is water tight... and also does not slip out? |

No way to glue those together-- none! Mechanical fastening is the only way. Perhaps a stainless steel worm drive clamp around each of the adjoining pipes with about 4 ties under the clamps arranged equally around the pipes to hold the clamps from moving apart. A sealant such as NP-1 would keep the joint as watertight as your situation demands. |

innerduct makes an epoxy glue they claim will bond HDPE to PVC. You will have to do some research to determine whether or not you think it will work. |
- Posted by lazypup (email@example.com) on Tue, Sep 18, 12 at 12:41
If the line has the proper pitch there is no need to glue the joints. |
"If the line has the proper pitch there is no need to glue the joints." It keeps roots from growing into the line. Even grass can go surprisingly deep to a ready source of moisture, let alone bushes or trees. |

I must admit that all my previous experience with HDPE and polypropylene led me to believe that the only way to bond them is with heat welding. Since the proposed drain extension is not part of the DWV system, I would be inclined to try this material. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Adhesive
Thanks for all the replies. Haw anyone ever used this new stuff? I found a place that still has the old thin wall white PVC drain pipe. The new stuff looks like it might be a little more crush resistant... but having to jump through hoops to glue it is a pain in the butt. If anyone has worked with the two and can tell me if the new stuff is any better or if I should just use the old stuff that I can easily glue I would appreciate it. It will be buried about 1' below the surface and in an area that will get a lot of back yard foot traffic. |
Has anyone used both? Is one more crush resistant? |

Woman pleads guilty to kidnapping while pregnant
Rochester, N.Y. -- A Steuben County woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to kidnapping a Pennsylvania woman and her 6-month-old child after escaping a hospital while under arrest.
Billie Jo Ribble, 36, of Bath, faces a minimum of 20 years in prison, a maximum of life in prison, a fine of $250,000 or both, after pleading guilty in front of U.S. Attorney William Hochul.
The U.S. attorney handling the case said Ribble was arrested in Mansfield, Pa. on burglary and grand larceny charges March 1.
After being remanded in jail, Ribble, who was pregnant, was taken to the maternity ward at a Wellsboro, Pa. hospital. While there, she assaulted a corrections officer who was guarding her and escaped the hospital by climbing out a window.
That night, Ribble entered a home in Wellsboro and threatened to kill a woman and her infant daughter with a large butchers knife before ordering the woman to drive all three of them in the womans car.
Ribble directed the woman to drive into New York state, before finally leaving the car just off New York State Route 15 in Lindley, Steuben County.
The woman called police from a gas station in Pennsylvania. They found Ribble at her boyfriends home in Corning, where she barricaded herself in the attic until eventually surrendering.
Ribbles sentencing is scheduled for June 25.
