New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered: | 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: |
2 "Should the wise answer with windy knowledge, and fill themselves with the east wind? | 2 "Would a wise man answer with empty notions or fill his belly with the hot east wind? |
3 Should they argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which they can do no good? | 3 Would he argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value? |
4 But you are doing away with the fear of God, and hindering meditation before God. | 4 But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God. |
5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty. | 5 Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty. |
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips testify against you. | 6 Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you. |
7 "Are you the firstborn of the human race? Were you brought forth before the hills? | 7 "Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? |
8 Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself? | 8 Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself ? |
9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us? | 9 What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have? |
10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, those older than your father. | 10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father. |
11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, or the word that deals gently with you? | 11 Are God's consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you? |
12 Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes flash, | 12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, |
13 so that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth? | 13 so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth? |
14 What are mortals, that they can be clean? Or those born of woman, that they can be righteous? | 14 "What is man, that he could be pure, or one born of woman, that he could be righteous? |
15 God puts no trust even in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his sight; | 15 If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, |
16 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, one who drinks iniquity like water! | 16 how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water! |
17 "I will show you; listen to me; what I have seen I will declare— | 17 "Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen, |
18 what sages have told, and their ancestors have not hidden, | 18 what wise men have declared, hiding nothing received from their fathers |
19 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them. | 19 (to whom alone the land was given when no alien passed among them): |
20 The wicked writhe in pain all their days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless. | 20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him. |
21 Terrifying sounds are in their ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon them. | 21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him. |
22 They despair of returning from darkness, and they are destined for the sword. | 22 He despairs of escaping the darkness; he is marked for the sword. |
23 They wander abroad for bread, saying, "Where is it?' They know that a day of darkness is ready at hand; | 23 He wanders about--food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. |
24 distress and anguish terrify them; they prevail against them, like a king prepared for battle. | 24 Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack, |
25 Because they stretched out their hands against God, and bid defiance to the Almighty, | 25 because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, |
26 running stubbornly against him with a thick-bossed shield; | 26 defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield. |
27 because they have covered their faces with their fat, and gathered fat upon their loins, | 27 "Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh, |
28 they will live in desolate cities, in houses that no one should inhabit, houses destined to become heaps of ruins; | 28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble. |
29 they will not be rich, and their wealth will not endure, nor will they strike root in the earth; | 29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land. |
30 they will not escape from darkness; the flame will dry up their shoots, and their blossom will be swept away by the wind. | 30 He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away. |
31 Let them not trust in emptiness, deceiving themselves; for emptiness will be their recompense. | 31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. |
32 It will be paid in full before their time, and their branch will not be green. | 32 Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish. |
33 They will shake off their unripe grape, like the vine, and cast off their blossoms, like the olive tree. | 33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms. |
34 For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery. | 34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes. |
35 They conceive mischief and bring forth evil and their heart prepares deceit." | 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit." |

I adore Molton Brown hand washes and moisturisers. I bought this little duo with a lovely little stand for them to be placed in. I am notorious at waiting until my hands are sore before I apply hand cream and so having the two next to each other in the bathroom makes sure that doesn't happen. As always with Molton Brown products a little goes a long way.

The Roads to a City's Bankruptcy
Posted By John Latta On August 9, 2013 @ 9:59 am In The Roadologist | No Comments
Here's an interesting look at data about what its accumulator calls "unnecessary infrastructure."
What he/she (a bio, with no name, says the blogger is a professional Urban Planner and Designer) is doing is trying to find a link between a big city's bankruptcy (Detroit apparently triggered this entry) and the lane miles per capita within the boundaries of that city.
"The numbers," the blogger says, "break down into pretty similar groupings. Also, if your city falls on the worse side of Detroit in any of these, there could be a rocky landing in the future of S.S. YourCity."
Check out the blog and you'll find some interesting takes on lane miles and the economic health of major urban areas. I'm not much on information that comes without the name of its supplier, so I'll just refer you and move on.

100,000 – A Special Number
by TSG on Tue, September 15th, 2009 at 7:00 am
The number 100,000 might be on the brain of a few Swaggernauts as we're beyond the 90,000 fan mark on Facebook. However, we've already hit 100,000 elsewhere…
The Swidget has been downloaded over 100,000 times by Swagbucks users. That's crazy!
You guys have made the Swagbucks Widget, or what we affectionately call the "Swidget", one of the most successful widgets out right now.
Great work and we're so glad that we could bring this tool to you to help you Swag a bit easier. A full head of steam is hard to slow down….
So why try?

Type of permanent magnetism that occurs in solids, in which the magnetic fields associated with individual atoms spontaneously align themselves, some parallel (as in ferromagnetism), and others antiparallel, or paired off in opposite directions (as in antiferromagnetism). The materials are less magnetic than ferromagnets, as the antiparallel atoms dilute the magnetic effect of the parallel arrangement. Ferrimagnetism occurs mainly in magnetic oxides known as ferrites. Above a temperature called the Curie point, the spontaneous alignment is disrupted and ferrimagnetism is destroyed, but it is restored upon cooling below the Curie point.
This entry comes from Encyclopædia Britannica Concise.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buddy!
Facts about Buddy
- Breed: Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Mix
- Color: Silver & Tan (Yorkie Colors)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Buddy's Info...
This is precious Lil' Buddy. His owner died, leaving him just an orphan. He doesn't understand what is happening and longs for safety and love. Buddy is available for adoption through C.A.R.E., Inc. 706-957-8316
Other Pets at Companion Animal Rescue & Education, Inc(NY)
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy, a Albany Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Albany, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Albany.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Albany 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 Albany breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Albany paves the way for another one to be saved.

Last year, we caught wind of a company called Roof for Two that had a cool project under wraps, no pun intended: A portable, fold-flat, quickly-deployable rain shield for a motorcycle. We contacted them, but they couldn't send us video or images of it at the time, as they were in the midst of applying for both a design patent and a utility patent.
Well, the wait is over: The patents have been granted, and a demo video of what they're calling the RainRunner is ready.
Would those of you with motorcycle experience use one of these? While the concept looks cool to a non-biker like me, the company has been struggling; they're currently lights-out, due to problems acquiring seed funding. Your opinions could provide some useful insight.
Edit: David Chen, Co-Founder of Roof for Two, writes: "We actually designed [the RainRunner] solely for motorcycle riders in India."

Fall in Love in Florence...
From May 27 2013 to April 7 2014
Herbert Percy Horne, Englishman in love with Florence, chose to make his home there and gave his name to one of the most interesting museums in the city. Lover of art, music, literature and friend in London of Oscar Wilde and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Horne was also a great collector. Thanks to the donation of his home and collections this city has been enriched. This story is told for the first time in an exhibit entitled Horne & Friends. Florence a dream to save.
Herbert Percy Horne remains an enigmatic figure whose contribution to culture between the 19th and 20th centuries due to his multiple interests is still being evaluated; the Museum, with the special exhibit titled Horne & Friends documents his notable talents as a refined illustrator, poet and reference point for numerous English and American artists and intellectuals present in Florence at that time.

Elevation Chandler, an unfinished 15-story luxury condo and hotel high rise near Chandler Fashion Center, has a potential buyer.
City officials and a broker handling the property said the developer, Jeff Cline of Signature Properties West, is entertaining talks with at least one party interested in purchasing the property.
Don Brigham, executive vice president and designated broker at Coldwell Banker Commercial in Phoenix, said Cline is entertaining negotiations from multiple parties but wouldn't say if he was close to striking a deal, nor would he specify a time frame when one could be reached.
"I can't tell you anything," he told the Tribune.
Work on the project has stalled for more than a year and residents have complained that the building is an eyesore. In March, the Tribune reported that Cline was selling the development, which includes a partially built tower and 10.5 acres of land next to the mall, for $42 million to $58 million.
Brokers require prospective buyers to sign confidentiality agreements forbidding them from discussing the development.
Unpaid contractors filed $5.8 million in liens against the property last year. Cline settled the liens and a threatened foreclosure after securing a $25 million bridge loan in late 2006. Cline, who was unreachable for comment, put the property up for sale in early 2007.
Mark Pentz, Chandler city manager, also confirmed Cline found a party who is interested in the property but wouldn't disclose who it is.
Pentz also declined to say whether the building will house a hotel and condo.
"I can't really talk about that," he said.
James Smith, an economic development specialist with the city, said he hasn't been informed on the status of the building or the potential buyer's intentions with it.
"Jeff Cline has been … tightlipped with everybody," he said.
Smith said the building has not been a liability to the city, despite complaints that it's an unsightly nuisance. The skeletal structure of the incomplete building, which has been the target of graffiti vandals, can be clearly seen from the Loop 101 and 202 freeways where it's located.
"I don't think that it reflects on the city," he said.

DWNTWN Art Days Guide: This Weekend's Downtown Cultural Events
If you can't wait for Art Basel or wish that Wynwood's Second Saturday Art Walks lasted longer, then DWNTWN Art Days is what you've been craving. Art Days weekend, a collaboration orchestrated by Downtown's Arts & Culture partners and the Miami DDA, kicks off this Friday and runs until Sunday evening. Get ready for a weekend filled with art, booze, opera, exclusive city tours, and even inflatable art (perhaps even a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man). Artist Trek6 will discuss his Bob Marley mural during Art Days this weekend.
This year at Art Days, there's a central hub located at Grand Central Park where you can park your car, pick up information, and even catch a trolley to take you around the downtown area. For the most part, however, expect lots of walking.
The event website boasts about 130 events happening this weekend (though some are repeated throughout the three days, so they're included in that count multiple times). It'll be impossible to see it all, so we've compiled a list of the best and most interesting events going on during DWNTWN Art Days this month. Be sure to check out the full list of events online to see what else peaks your interest.
Creative Happy Hour
Although Art Days events begin taking place at 7 a.m., you'd probably prefer to start your night out the classy way: with a happy hour. The Arts & Business Council, CU-1 Gallery, Miami Center for Architecture and Design, and the Perez Art Museum have all collaborated on this happy hour of creative proportions. Its purpose is to bring together "young professionals" to network and talk art while sipping wine or beer and munching on food provided by Spris Pizza. Along with your beer, wine, and networking, expect some games with prizes throughout the night. There will also be a photo booth, some art play stations, and even a curated art tour. Since you're a young professional, you can afford the $15 entrance ticket for this event. Go here to reserve your spot, and don't forget: pinkies up.
5 to 8 p.m., CU-1 Gallery, 117 NE First Ave, Miami. Call 305-326-1021 or visit artsbizmiami.org.
Mary Brickell Village to Miami Circle Walking TourFlickr, Bob B. Brown
You've gone to Brickell on a Friday or Saturday night, or perhaps even for brunch on Sunday, but you've never experienced it like this. Take a guided tour of a familiar hotspot and take in some history, man. Playing tourist in your own city can be rewarding and educational. Learn about the history of Brickell and hear memorable stories you can repeat to your friends and sound smart.
The ending point of this tour, Miami Circle at Brickell Point, is a National Historic Landmark, which preserves the site where archeologists uncovered evidence of a Native North American group called the Tequesta. The "circle" is actually a sort of footprint left behind by a prehistoric structure of the Tequesta. No doubt that the tour guide will offer a more detailed explanation. The rendezvous point is Mary Brickell Village at 6 p.m., and the walking tour will last approximately an hour and a half.
6 to 7:30 p.m., Mary Brickell Village, 901 S Miami Ave, Miami.
"September's Storm" - A California Wine Tasting and Cultural Event Wine By the Bay
Winos, rejoice! Wine By the Bay is hosting a wine-tastic evening both Friday and Saturday night during Art Days. The wine and art boutique will be showcasing wines from Napa Valley winemaker, Andy Erickson, alongside Yozo Hamaguchi's art exhibit. Blending the smooth aromas of wine and visually stimulating art, Wine By the Bay offers a unique way to end (or start) your evening.
Aside from tasting wine, guests will also be taught how to blend their own California wine with the ultimate goal of a perfect glass. After the tasting and teaching, you get the opportunity to sit down with your wine during the East Coast premiere screening of Storm, a 2013 Sonoma International Film Festival official selection. Winemaking and an indie movie - can't get anymore hipster than that. Tickets for this event can be purchased via Local Wine Events and cost $30 per person.
7 to 9 p.m. (Friday and Saturday), Wine by the Bay, 888 Biscayne Blvd, Miami. Call 305-455-9791 or visit winebtb.com.

Love This Product
Par Bowler
de Belleville, ON
Have used this product for years and love it. I can put a little on my hands and run it though my hair then take my comb to style it before putting a little hairspray on. It usually lasts the whole day. I have tried the cream in a jar but find it too heavy and greasy for my hair. I hope this product it not being discontinued and that is why it is being sold at a reduced price. I will miss it very much if I am unable to get it any more.
Not what I thought it would do for my ha
Par Pat
de Nfld & Labrador
When Nick Used this product on the models on TV, it looked great. It makes my hair feel like straw and does not do anything for my hair whatsoever. I have short curly hair and this product does nothing for me. I would not recommend it to a friend.
Cheapest drug store hairspray does more
Par drbob
de Grande Prairie, AB
I followed the instructions and put the product in my hair dry - what a shock to find it did NOTHING! I have very short fine hair so expected it to add a lot of body - I even added more product but still nothing.I returned the product and would not recommend it.
great great great
Par Allison
de Edmonton
I come from alberta the dryest place on earth and this product did not dry my hair out. It made my hair full and I can use it on second and third hair days when I did not wash my hair. Ladies do not use to much you can always go back for seconds. I bought this about 2 years ago and forgot just how good it really is. Thank nick

I have hair past my shoulders and usually style it with a curling iron, I was hoping the flocker would give it more body but it was pretty comparable to any other volumizing hairspray.-Annoying that it instructs to sprays 3-4 sprays into the sink before every use- The volumizing ingredients are really, really drying to the hair-My normally soft/healthy hair felt straw like-This would probably be best suited for someone with short hairI ended up sending it back, but I would highly recommend Nick's Volumizing Hairspray (great for teasing), and his Tarditions Prickly Pear spray (great for elasticity in the hair)
Great Product
Par Colette
de Medicine Hat, Alberta
I have several products that I like to use on my hair, but this is one of the better ones. I have short hair, and I find that Nick's Flocker works well. I spray some on my hands and then work it through my hair. It adds body and separates the hair to give it that "piecey" look. I usually add it before I blow dry my hair, but it works equally well if it's applied after blow drying.I like the fact that it doesn't make my hair feel greasy or heavy. I finish it off with Nick's hairspray for a bit of extra staying power. His hairspray is the best on the market as far as I'm concerned!

the Original Volumizing Hair Spray
Par Dee
de Kingston, Ontario
Nick, My limp,fine, staight hair was transformed into luxuriant locks that made other women loathe me when I used your Original volumizing hair spray and shampoo/conditioners. Can you bring back the Original volumizing hair spray and shampoo/condtioner, please !!!! The Flocking recipe just does NOT work for my straight, fine hair. The original volumizing products ABSOLUTELY ROCKED for moi. I have never found anything that even approached the excellence of the Originals. I hope others who miss them will join me in this plea to you. Thanks.

Everybody is talking about 21st Century skills and preparing students for a whole different world. The truth is that our students have become digital and there are a whole lot of educators around the world who are still "analog". That is why I would like to share my work with my two secondary school groups with as many teachers as possible. Internet and Technology in the Classroom have made a huge change in my daily teaching experience.
My story starts right after my first online presentation for The Future of Education Reform Symposium 2013, (RSCON4) where I was kindly invited to participate by Shelly Sanchez Terrell. Some hours later, I got a message from Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto, who asked me if I would like to write for this High Tech Ideas in the Low Tech Classroom section in Teaching Village. I was flattered, and accepted immediately, but it really took me quite a long time to put ideas together and I thank my dear friend, Rose Bard, for giving me some support.

Linda K. Smith named Deputy Assistant Secretary for Early Childhood Development
Wednesday, November 21, 2011
Contact: Kenneth J. Wolfe
(202) 401-9215
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announced today the appointment of Linda K. Smith as deputy assistant secretary and inter-departmental liaison for early childhood development under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In this capacity, Smith will provide overall policy coordination the child care and Head Start programs, as well as serving as the liaison with the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies.
"Linda's distinguished history of service has proven the passion and commitment she has for our nation's children," said George Sheldon, acting assistant secretary for children and families. "I am confident that her expertise will help strengthen our efforts in improving the quality of early childhood education programs and increase positive outcomes of young children and their families."
Smith comes to ACF from the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies, where she served as executive director, representing more than 650 community-based agencies concerned with the care of children in their earliest years.
Smith also served as a legislative fellow on the United States Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee as part of Senator Edward Kennedy's staff, concentrating on early childhood policy issues including the Child Care and Development Block Grant, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program and the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act.
ACF's Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Early Childhood Development serves as a central, coordinating office for early childhood at the federal level. The office works closely with state child care administrators and state pre-K directors, as well as with communities promoting a systems approach to early learning and development.

But flaws emerged as soon as I began reaching out to friends and colleagues about how to shape such an event. Which coup do you mean, asked one: the 1991 putsch when Boris Yeltsin was a hero, or the 1993 one when he ordered artillery fired on Russian government offices held by the Parliament he had dissolved? Hmmm. Hard to highlight heroism without also examining the deeply flawed leader that Yeltsin became after the Soviet collapse.
Others said: Interesting idea. But make sure you bring in a big name to get attention. The names Malkina and Medvedev clearly were not what they had in mind. Indeed, the Big Name they suggested was Mikhail Gorbachev. But he was not the hero of 1991, and despite the West's continued praise for him, opinions on Gorbachev at home range from indifference to hostility.
Then there was the troublesome issue of the press itself. Although it didn't seem like it at the time, the failed 1991 coup also was the beginning of the end of the journalistic spring fostered by Gorbachev's glasnost and nurtured by dozens of journalists—mostly young, but some veterans of the Soviet system—whose reporting was often investigative, eloquent and innovative. Glasnost-era programs like Vzglyad and Before and After Midnight were consistently better than almost any TV news programming in America today. And print media provided nearly daily journalistic coups, uncovering dark secrets of the Soviet past and exposing malfeasance in the politics and policy of the day.
The collapse of communism at the end of 1991 meant the Communist Party no longer lavishly subsidized media, which party bosses had used so effectively since Lenin's day to control information and opinion. But corruption followed, in the form of journalists writing fawning articles for pay. Some major media barons used the press to promote their own views, providing the lesson that capitalist owners are not above media manipulation.
By the time Vladimir Putin came to power, almost a decade after the 1991 coup attempt, the media had so discredited themselves that the public raised little protest when Putin rolled back much of their hard-won freedoms. Those who continue to practice hard-hitting journalism today run the risk of assault or even murder; the Committee to Protect Journalists ranks Russia ninth on its impunity list, a roll of countries where those who murder journalists seldom get punished.
"So much happened after that," sighed a Russian friend who entered journalism just after the 1991 failed coup attempt. "There was one shining moment for journalism. What happened later was a really long story," he said. "And the ending is not a happy ending yet."
Okay, but did that really mean that, twenty years later, that brief shining moment didn't deserve a special celebration? If we considered what happened then, and what has happened since, wouldn't there be some important lessons from Russia 1991 that are worth examining in light of the Arab uprisings?
Sure, said my Russian journalist friend. "First you are high on that feeling of being liberated. And then harsh reality sets in. Then some people start thinking that maybe things were better before."
Uh, hadn't I already read about each of those developments in post-revolutionary Tunisia and Egypt? Is the Arab world, at least those countries that manage to overthrow their autocratic leaders, simply doomed to repeat some version or another of the disappointing post-Soviet story? Is "happily ever after" simply not an option after revolution, whether the Orange or Rose revolutions of Ukraine and Georgia or the breathtaking people power victory in Egypt?
These are questions about larger outcomes than just the future of the Arab media, and I'm sure that dozens of panels, lectures and op-eds will consider them in the coming weeks and months. I hope that some will focus on the media's role as well; in a sign of hope, Columbia Journalism Review recently described post-revolution Arab media as "warily testing boundaries, adjusting to new realities, and daring to dream of the possibilities." It's good that they have moved beyond their role in toppling the autocrats, to consider the far more important role they can play now in helping the post-revolutionary state build strong, transparent, accountable, and democratic institutions.
Such institutions are scarce to nonexistent in post-1991 Russia. So, rather than organizing an event about "lessons learned from the Gorbachev coup," I probably will take my Russian friend's suggestion, and simply raise a toast this August to that shining moment in 1991, when Malkina, Medvedev, and quite a few other Russian journalists risked everything to make a difference with their courageous defiance.

Fox Kansas KSAS-TV - Search Results
Will a possible government shutdown impact Kansas?
WICHITA, Kansas What does it mean, when we hear a government shutdown is on the way?
Many different things. It all depends.
First of all, I just dont know that this will really happen. Will someone blink? Probably, says Political Expert at WSU, Jeff Jarman.
While the political fallout is up for full debate, the services shutting down are becoming apparent.
Social security checks will still be delivered. The mail service continues. Military personnel like those at McConnell will still report for work. But, paychecks for military employees would be in the form of an IOU until the budget battle is settled.
National Parks would be shut down. And that would impact the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Chase County, Kansas.
Also, gun permits could slow because the ATF would feel the impact.
Vacation in a foreign land? Better have that passport. Passport approval could slow.
But, will it happen? Some Kansas leaders say, maybe.
The republicans have everything to lose because as services get shut down, as people see this as a political ploy, says Jarman. Shutting down a bunch of services of the government all for something that they cant really undo anyway? People will decide that calculus is not good for the country.
Others in Kansas say our federal lawmakers on the Republican side of the aisle will stand firm.
None of us want to see our federal government shut down, says Kelly Arnold with the Kansas Republican Party. We want a smooth running government thats going to be able to continue to provide our services and we want things to run as normal. We dont want our daily lives to be interrupted. But the government is not going to be completely shut down. Our essential services are still continuing to go. Everybody is still going to receive their social security check. Our men and women in uniform are still going to be out there protecting our country, so its really not a full shut down of our federal government.
Others speculate the political fallout may be too much, and the government will continue, with no shutdown.
There is a good reason to believe that the 1995 and 96 shutdowns cost the GOP, says Jarman. And its why Republican Senators are so opposed to this measure right now. They remember what happened and they know their party will take a hit.

About automatic exclusions of Microsoft Exchange server files and folders in Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 and Symantec Client Security 3.1
Article:TECH101713 | | | Created: 2006-01-28 | | | Updated: 2010-10-14 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH101713 |
You have a Microsoft Exchange server, on which you plan to install Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 or Symantec Client Security 3.1. You need to know which steps you need to take to prevent conflicts between Symantec AntiVirus (or Symantec Client Security) and Microsoft Exchange.
Before you begin: Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 and Symantec Client Security 3.1 do not create exclusions for Microsoft Exchange 2007. For a list of recommended exclusions for Exchange 2007, read the Microsoft TechNet article File-Level Antivirus Scanning on Exchange 2007.
If you use different mail server software besides Microsoft Exchange, read Installing Symantec or Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition on mail servers.
With Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 and Symantec Client Security 3.1, you do not have to create exclusions for Microsoft Exchange. The software creates the exclusions automatically.
If Microsoft Exchange servers, including clustered servers, are installed on the computer where you installed Symantec AntiVirus, Symantec AntiVirus automatically detects the presence of Exchange and creates appropriate file and directory exclusions for Auto-Protect and all other scans. Symantec AntiVirus checks for changes in the location of the appropriate Exchange files and directories at regular intervals. So if you install Exchange on a computer where Symantec AntiVirus is already installed, the exclusions are created when Symantec AntiVirus checks for changes. Symantec AntiVirus excludes both files and directories, so if a single file is moved from an excluded directory, the file remains excluded. Symantec AntiVirus creates file and directory scan exclusions for the following Microsoft Exchange versions:
- Exchange 5.5
- Exchange 2000
- Exchange 2003
Symantec AntiVirus also creates appropriate file and directory scan exclusions for the following Symantec products when they are detected:
- Symantec Mail Security 4.0, 4.5, 4.6, 5.0 and 6.0 for Microsoft Exchange
- Symantec AntiVirus/Filtering 3.0 for Microsoft Exchange
- Norton AntiVirus 2.x for Microsoft Exchange
However, there are two additional directories that must be manually excluded in Symantec Antivirus.
Assuming a default installation path for Mail Security on a 32-bit server:
C:\Program Files\Symantec\SMSMSE\6.0\Server\
On a 64-bit server:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\SMSMSE\6.0\Server\
Note: To see the exclusions that Symantec AntiVirus creates for Exchange for for Auto-Protect and all other scans, you can examine the contents of the HKLM\Software\Intel\LANdesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Exclusions\Exchange Server registry key. For 64-bit clients the location is HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Intel\Landesk\Virusprotect6\CurrentVersion\Storages\Filesystem\RealTimeScan\NoScanDir. Do not edit these registry keys directly. Configure any additional exclusions using the Symantec System Center Auto-Protect, manual, and scheduled scan exclusion options. Symantec AntiVirus does not exclude the system temporary folders from scanning because doing so could create a significant security vulnerability on a computer.

Everything has a darker side. Technology is no exception. After just a year or two of use many of these so-called gadgets are discarded, despite the symbols that appeared on many back labels, like an ordinary thrash.
Perhaps it is the responsibility of the tech giants who sold these gadgets —mobile technology in particular — to grant a few of their earnings in educating the rest of the world as far as the proper disposal and recycling of these e-waste. True this story is nothing new anymore, but the point here is this, did this tech giants who manufactured and sold these gadgets that are now e-waste ever did something to educate the rest of the world as far as the dangers of the darker side of technology is concerned?

Westminster College senior elementary education majors Shanay Phillian and Jessie Szakacs and Dr. Charlene Klassen Endrizzi, Westminster professor of education, presented "From Strangers to Allies: Building Family-School Connections" at the Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts conference March 9-10 in Worthington, Ohio.
The research study explores the relationships between families and schools and the impact families have on their children's education. Phillian and Szakacs are incorporating what they learned from their project in their student teaching at Campbell (Ohio) Elementary School, with the goal of more family involvement to strengthen the relationship with teachers.
"We are sending out newsletters and surveys and having the students write family message journals in an attempt to build open, beneficial relationships with the families of the students in our classrooms," Szakacs said. "Through this project, we are gaining a firsthand perspective on the hardships many families face and how, as educators, we can best work with families to further their child's education."
"We believe this will provide families and educators with valuable insights that will play an integral role in providing the best possible education for the students," Phillian said. "I now realize that teaching goes beyond teaching the curriculum. It involves investing countless hours to ensure success for all students, as well as creating a partnership with their families."
"Our intent focused on utilizing family insights in order to make more informed decisions throughout the school day," Klassen Endrizzi explained. "Jessie and Shanay moved beyond a typical deficit model of family-school partnerships by viewing their Greek, African American, Hispanic, Italian, Irish, and Slovak families as rich resources and essential collaborators. We discovered how children become more successful learners when teachers reached out to their families. Their two Campbell Elementary cooperating teachers, Vicki Tekac and Annette Tovarnak, were a sustaining force throughout this exploration."
Phillian is a daughter of Mark and Kimberly Phillian of New Castle and a graduate of Wilmington Area High School.
Szakacs is a daughter of Michael and Wendy Szakacs of Youngstown, Ohio, and a graduate of Liberty High School.
Klassen Endrizzi, who serves as Westminster's faculty development officer, joined the faculty in 1993. She earned undergraduate and master's degrees from Fresno Pacific College and Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. She is the author of Becoming Teammates: Teachers and Families as Literacy Partners (NCTE, 2008).
Contact Klassen Endrizzi at (724) 946-7189 or email for additional information about the project.
The students received undergraduate research grants and travel/presentation grants from Westminster's Drinko Center for Experiential Learning.
The Drinko Center for Experiential Learning was created to enrich undergraduate education at Westminster through advancing world-class teaching as well as by participating in collaborations that address community and regional needs including strengthening K-12 education. The Undergraduate Research Initiative provides funding for students to conduct research and to present their research at regional and national conferences. Visit the Drinko website for more information about the Drinko Center and its programs.

Alicia Keys has been hitting the gym hard, and it shows.
Producer Swizz Beatz shared a photo of Keys via his Instagram account. The photo showed the "No One" singer sporting an orange bikini and black.
James Bond fans will remember that signature scene in the Bond film, Die Another Day (2002) where actress Halle Berry (shown blow)emerged from the water sporting an orange bikini and a toned bod. And it looks like Beatz remembered that scene as well.
Along with the photo, Beatz wrote the caption:
My Bond Girl 007 AK47
Keys looks great and this is one of the few times the public has seen the singer showing that much skin since the birth of her son Egypt in 2011.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is ABBY - ADOPTION PENDING!
Facts about ABBY - ADOPTION PENDING
- Breed: Brussels Griffon
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
ABBY - ADOPTION PENDING's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
If you are interested in adopting Abby, please go to www.abgra.org. and submit an adoption application. If you have any questions, please contact email@example.com.
Sweet, pretty little Abby is friendly toward everyone and curious about everything. She gets along well with other dogs but would probably prefer to be the only lap dog in the house! She loves to be with her special person all the time and the center of attention. While she will pick her "special" person, she is loving to all in the house. She is looking for a loving home with a securely fenced yard and a family that won't leave her alone for more than a couple of hours. Abby would prefer no young children but she should do just fine with older dog savvy children.
She was born 1/3/06 and weighs just 8 lbs. She is spayed, up to date with vaccinations, heart worm negative, on preventative and micro chipped. Abby is ready for her forever home!
We prefer to place Abby within driving distance of Burneyville, OK, where she is being fostered. However, if someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must fly in to get her and she must fly home in the cabin with her new family. Under no circumstances can our dogs ever be shipped in cargo, and we do not place our dogs in homes with invisible (electric) fencing.
Other Pets at American Brussels Griffon Rescue Alliance Inc. - OK
Why Adoption is a Great Option
ABBY - ADOPTION PENDING, a Burneyville Brussels Griffon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brussels Griffon for sale in Burneyville, or seeking a Brussels Griffon dog from a breeder in Burneyville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Burneyville 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 Burneyville 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 Brussels Griffon breeders who help with Brussels Griffon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Burneyville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ammo controversy in 3.3 already
Let's not forget, however, that this is cutting edge (no pun intended) ammo -- this isn't the kind of vendor junk you just fire while leveling. It's a 30 point DPS gain from the previous high level ammo, and that kind of increase probably does justify a little tougher requirement to make. Of course, it'll probably work out so that other classes get that increase normally through their itemization, but that's just the way it works for hunters. If you want the new ammo, you'll have to find an friendly engie of the right spec with the right skill Honored with the new Ashen Verdict faction, and then keep them supplied with as much Crystallized Earth and Shadow as you can find.

I, as well as a lot of others, love to use our photos of family members etc etc in our layouts. Recently, I have been feeling really uncomfortable with using my kids photos or even ones that has other people in the photos with the kids. Now, I have seen some actually blur out the faces etc etc... my question is.. how do you guys feel? Have you been faced with a family member stating "you shouldnt be posting photos of the kids up on the web for everyone to see" ?
I have never been addressed the above yet. And just wondered, how you guys feel about posting up photos etc of your family etc.

@ Dean - I love it. Always worth a reccie up there. Make a weekend of it. Maybe get the better halves to join us and make is a fun weekend away.
@ Slim - I saw how fast you were and I will only bow to your "Aventador" like speeds.
@ Bruce - There are no electric fences... ;-)
Me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me,me - my family and I are in, that is - right who's up for some drag racing?
Dean, I can definitely vouch for St Lucia as a kiting spot. When I lived up in Richards Bay for a while a few years back, we often took a trip up there to kite, and it is just like you say... and Bruce you really will be pleased at how wide the beach is there... so your kite will be safe!
Ya Craig I'm feeling pretty sorry, big swell does not come around too often. We need to go find the right spot though where we can all handle and enjoy it properly and where there are no fences for Bruce. I'm thinking Jex Estate Blythedale is going to deliver the goods. Other than that Africa kept me busy on the weekend. I must just add that St Lucia is really amazing now and they have plowed big big cash into all the reserve and public amenities. The public toilets are like 5 star no shit, all the hides in the reserve have been totally revamped and the Cape Vidal campsites are now brick paved 7 star amazing. Seriously enviromentally conscious as well, they are even cutting down the invasive Australasian Casuarina trees. I was almost in tears with this as it shows a massive interest in our ecology, overshare, sorry. As for the kiting there are amazing options at St Lu itself, way better than Vidal in my opinion. The estuary has not opened into the sea for 6 years so it is safer than Zinkwazi I would say shark wise. It really looks fun, all beach, no rocks for Bruce, and wide wide beaches for Slim to drag race. I would say a nice winter north east weekend there would be a cracker. St Lucia is easily the cleanest town in KZN and they have Hippos, Leopards and Crocs (no jokes) patrolling the streets at night, so crime is down. Accomodation is plentiful. It is like Ponta, just civilised. I have a trailer and 7 seater, let's skip cold Sterkies and go play in the sun this winter. Take the Wolf pack to where they can feel at home. Who's in????
Ja Dave, it looks shit. Hope you had a bad time and stubbed your toes on the rocks... ;-)
You should have joined us yesterday. It was proper, big-boy stuff.
@ Dean - You feeling a little sorry you had to miss it bru?
Hey Kingsley,
We are all fine. It landed up being 7 of us charging Westbrook to Ballito. Wind wasn't great at all. We were all over-powered and the surf was coming through large. The strong wind had already created a hectic chop and it was a bumpy ride.
Only 2 real events were:
1) Slim getting munched by a monster, dropping his kite and then trying to fix the lines on the beach fully powered. A small mistake saw him accelerating faster than a Lambo across the beach... Eina!
2) Bruce putting his kite into some larnie's place in Zimbali. The guard at the house was most confused!!! HOW, EISH, WENA!!! Luckily no tears in the kite...
Is everyone still intact? Massive side wash or what? Cape Vidal had some impressive runners but I doubt whether you could have tacked back upwind.
Click on the form link below to register your kite details so that if your kite is stolen, we can all help reclaim it.

We are trying to finalize our design and are thinking of using open cabinets to the left of our sink because it seemed that closed cabinets felt a bit claustrophobic. I also want a place for my cookbooks. Our images show 3 open shelves but I am leaning towards just two. I envision half of each shelf being books and the other half either being heavily used glasses/dishes and/or a wicker basket with napkins or dishtowels. Right now, the design has an open corner cabinet on the right side of the sink; I am not in love with this type of cabinet... My questions are: Thanks for any and all thoughts. |

It's not balanced. I'd prefer to use an open cabinet there rather than open shelving if you want open storage. And eliminate the dinky shelves to the right. I'd also use an L shaped upper corner cabinet and not a diagonal one. And no OTR. Use a real vent instead. You've got enough room to put a MW elsewhere. And add light rail molding and under cabinet lights if you don't have it. |

Thanks live wire, I so appreciate your feedback. Yes, the imbalance bugs me too. My concern about the L upper is that it's hard to reach/access and isn't the most practical space, but I also am not over the moon about the diagonal in that spot. I have another one that mirrors angles in other places that I don't mind. We are going OTR due to cost... Some other views of our current design (without open cabs or shelving...I thought of adding something open because it felt closed-in and I very much want a visible place for my cookbooks...). Maybe I keep it closed and deal with the claustrophobia and find another spot for books? |

L shaped upper corner cabinets are easier to access than diagonal uppers. And diagonal corners in bases increase counter costs. Try putting a glass doored cabinet to the left of the sink. To save costs, you can order it merely interior finished to match and cut for glass and then source the glass locally. Is that a pantry there next to the angled cabinet? Not loving either of those as well. I'd prefer to switch the fridge and pantry and add a prep sink to the island, but understand if you're trying to limit costs and can't consider that. At the least I'd eliminate the angled cabinets. They cost a lot and add very little storage. |
I like the round end of the island. Looks British. |
- Posted by libraryhaz (My Page) on Sun, Apr 28, 13 at 10:32
Yes, I was thinking that the fridge and the pantry should be switched although the fridge is 36" and the pantry is 30". I can do it if I lose the drop zone/charging station/space for my bulletin board angled counter on the end. My kitchen is definitely not big enough to warrant a prep sink--if I switch the fridge and oantry I can get to the sink in 3 steps. I also much prefer an uninterrupted island. Our Reno is in a 1977 split level house that is less than 1600 sq ft total. My main floor (of which the kitchen is part) is 20' x 26' (K, LR, DR) smaller than some GW kitchens! We are trying to keep costs as low as we can but want our new kitchen to be nice and livable since we spend our waking time at home in that main level space. My layout priorities were to: I feel panicked that I am going to do this whole thing "wrong." But I also know that ANYTHING on the planet will be better than my current kitchen. |
Heavily used dishes/glasses may be OK in shelves or open cabinets, but books may get sticky after a while. It may be better to store them farther from the stove. |

usually,because of the deep return on the right side of fridge, a transitional wall cabinet of 18 or 15 in deep is placed, then transition to the 12 in deep wall cabs. With the open shelf you show, that can't really be implemented and the shelves look dwarfed by the structure to the left. try a double door or voided door cabinet at 15 inches deep, perhaps a 2 cabinet setup with the upper cab having doors similar to top of fridge doors,and a cabinet below that with no doors. How about shelves for cookbooks below counter on side of pantry on other side of room? |

The new movie from the Broken Lizard guys, you know the group that brought you Beerfest, Club Dread, Super Troopers, and Puddle Cruiser. Well they're back with the same group of faces that you're use to seeing with the addition of Michael Clarke Duncan as an ex-boxer turned restaurant owner. The owner of the place lost a bet and now has to earn twenty thousand dollars in one night or lose his restaurant. It's not Broken Lizard's best work, but it's not their worst either. I really enjoyed this, it's got high rewatchability but it's not hysterical funny. It's more the type of comedy where you sit back and enjoy watching it, there are some things that are pretty damn funny but you won't be in danger of a spit take.

Reenergized… Modern… Exuberant… Fun!
These are the words that pop up again and again when people talk about the effect Kenzo's new creative directors, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, are having on the storied brand.
Founded in Paris in 1970, Kenzo Takada's namesake collection quickly made its mark among the fashion set, where it was known for its masterful mélange of bold colors and unexpected textures. One look at the clothes today will tell you that Leon and Lim have no interest in changing that. Instead, they've set out to reinvigorate—rather than reinvent—Takada's trademark style.
"With our new collections, we hope that we have injected the brand with a youthful spirit and a sense of fun and cheekiness," Leon recently told British Vogue. "But we also want to respect and preserve the traditions of the Kenzo house, such as the importance of prints and the sense of worldliness and travel that has been intrinsic to every collection in the history of Kenzo."
As the founders of Opening Ceremony, Leon and Lim are already well-versed in all things fun, cheeky and cool. For a taste of how this whimsical spirit has already started to liven up the brand, watch their addictively wacky video below, which features Kate Foley, Kyleigh Kuhn, Derek Blasberg, Olivia Kim, Jen Brill, Andre, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Mariko Munro and Carlos Quirarte.

Tropical rainforests are defined primarily by two factors:
1. Located in the tropics.
2. Amount of rainfall received (4-8m/yr) with little or no "seasonality", no dry or cold season of slower growth.
Tropical rainforests are the Earth's oldest living ecosystems. Fossil records show in Southeast Asia they have existed in their present form for 70 to 100 million years. Tropical rainforests are one
of the most diverse, productive ecosystems in the world due to a combination of factors, including the stable environment, canopy structure, vertical stratification, habitat area and historical
Top Ten Forest Facts
1. Tropical rainforests cover 2% of the Earth's land surface but they are home to two-thirds of all living species. Supporting an estimated 70% of terrestial plants, 30% of bird
species & 90% of invertebrates.
2. A typical four square mile patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 flowering plants species, 750 trees species, 125 mammal species, 400 birds species, 100 reptiles species,
60 amphibians species, and 150 butterflies species.
3. One and a half acres of rainforest are lost every second, an area of rainforest the size of Belize is lost once a month.
4. The U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified 3000 plants active against cancer cells. 70% of these are found in the rainforest. Twenty-five percent of the active ingredients
in cancer-fighting drugs come from organisms found only in the rainforest.
5. Experts estimate that we are losing 137 species every day due to rainforest deforestation, that's about 50,000 species a year.
6. Over 20% of the world's oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.
7. One tree in Peru was found to harbour forty-three different ant species - approximately the entire ant species in the British Isles.
8. Estimates of global species diversity vary from 2 million to 100 million species, with a best estimate of somewhere near 10 million. Only 1.4 million have been named. More
species are being discovered in the rainforests than anywhere else.
9. Intact rainforests remove carbon dioxide, regulating local weather and global climate. The cutting and burning of rainforests contributes 25% of the world's global warming
10. Half the total loss of rainforests has occurred this century, 25% in the last 20 years.
Benefits of goods and services are commonly assessed in terms of economic value, the monitary value of these banks of resources if they are expoited into the capitalist market economy. This does not account for natural value of these incredible environments and their role in maintaining the balance of global climate for example. However today, the modern world is increasingly recognising and acceptiong the importance of 'existence', the intrinsic and cultural values of the natural world.
Climate Regulation
- Rainforests are global heat and water pumps. Forests add to local humidity through transpiration, but above a rainforest the air is cooler so it is more likely to rain. Beneath the dense canopy humidity stays high and steady. The forests stay wet and evaporate vast quantities into the air above, forming clouds. Some falls again in the tropics but often clouds are carried great distances to fall as rain in the mid latitudes, often as far away as Europe and Australia.
- Reducing forest cover reduces evaporation, more solar energy warms the earth's surface increasing air temperature. The hotter air over desert and grassland habitats, often replacing rainforests following logging or clearing, discourages cloud formation and deserts remain dry.
- For more information visit: www.tropenbos.nl
Greenhouse Effect
- Tropical forests have the best potential for greenhouse gas mitigation with the capacity to store carbon in their tissues as they grow. Reforestation of 3.9 million m2 (10 million km2) could sequester 100-150 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide over the next 50-100 years.
- For more information visit: www.unep-wcmc.org
Watershed Protection
- Forests help prevent drought and flooding by reataining water from tropical downpours and releasing it at a controlled rate. In a well-forested watershed, 95% of annual rainfall is trapped and released steadily, replenishing ground water and keeping streams flowing through dry seasons.
- This constant supply of clean water is vital for sustaining an area's natural ecology. If large areas of watershed are deforested, catastrophic flooding can occur at huge environmental, economic and social costs. The Philippines is often affected by such events.
- One of the most vital local functions fulfilled by forests is control of rainfall run-off to waterways.
- For more information visit: www.tropenbos.nl
Soil Erosion Prevention
- Linked to watershed protection is limiting sediment run-off, since forests anchor the soil with their roots. After heavy rains fall on deforested lands, run-off carries soil into local rivers increasing siltation, raising riverbeds, and leading to increased flooding. The increased sediment load is detrimental to river ecology, reducing light for photosynthesis, and smothering fish eggs.
- On reaching the ocean, the water becomes cloudy causing regional declines in coral reefs.
- For more information visit: www.tropenbos.nl
Forest Resources: Timber
- Forestry is important both to world economy, contributing 2% world GDP and 4% of GDP in developing countries, and comprising 3% international trade, and also to the local economies of many countries.
- Timber is important at a local level, as a construction material in subsistence communities.
- For more information visit: www.tropenbos.nl
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs - includes fibres, resins, plant and animal products)
- An estimated 80% of the developing world relies on NTFPs. Although many are collected locally, some have been domesticated for large-scale production. In the international marketplace, NTFPs account for over US$1.1 billion in trade.
- The projected economic value* of one hectare of forest in the Peruvian Amazon was US$6,820 per year if intact forest is sustainably harvested for fruits, latex and timber. But only US$1,000 if clear-cut for commercial timber (not sustainable) and US$148 if used as cattle pasture(*from Peters C.M., Gentry A.H., Mendelsohn R.O. (1989) Valuation of an Amazonian Rainforest. Nature Vol.339, pp 655-656).
- For more information visit: www.tropenbos.nl
Food Source
- An estimated 75,000 edible plants are found in rainforests but only 150 enter world commerce.
- Rainforest Crops include rice, quinine, rubber, coffee, bananas, eggplants, lemons, oranges, tea, cacao, cashews, cassava, tapioca, peanuts, pineapples, guavas, brazil nuts, paw paws, avocadoes and many more.
Biological and Genetic Resource
- Wild species have traits inadvertently bred out by selective breeding, thus domesticated plants and animals are more susceptible to pests and disease.
- As such genes from wild plants are used to fortify modern varieties, and are likely to become increasingly important for this purpose.
- Rainforests are a vital source of medicines. Less than 1% of the world's tropical forest plants have been tested for pharmaceutical properties, yet at least 25% of all modern drugs came originally from rainforests, most first discovered and used by indigenous peoples.
- Annual worldwide sales of plant-derived pharmaceuticals currently total $20 billion e.g. Morphine and Quinine. 70% of all plants known to have anti-tumour properties come from tropical rainforests.
Existence Values
Homeland for Forest Peoples
- 500 million people live around tropical forests. Depending on the forests for products and services. For example, Rubber tappers are not indigenous to the forests of the Amazon but have learnt to live sustainably in the forest.
- There are 150 million indigenous people who rely on the forests for their way of life. The forests meet their economic needs for food and shelter and form an integral part of their culture and spiritual traditions.
- For more information visit: www.cifor.cgiar.org
Non-material Values
- The wonder and spiritual importance of the rainforests to all whom live in and around is profound. It is impossible to try to put a value on rainforests for all the riches they can and do offer.
- This situation has been likened by biologists Anne and Paul Ehrlich to "an aeroplane losing the rivets which keep it together. No one knows how many rivets the plane can lose before it falls apart."
- For more information visit: www.iucn.org
Extinction is a natural event and, from a geological perspective, routine. We now know that most species that have ever lived have gone extinct. The average rate over the past 200 million years is 1-2 species per million species present per year. The average duration of a species is 1-10 million years (based on the last 200 million years). There have also been several episodes of mass extinction. In the modern era, due to human actions, species and ecosystems are threatened with destruction to an extent rarely seen in the Earth's history. Industrial society has tended to see forests as free sources of valuable materials or as needless woods, occupying land and getting 'in the way' of development. As a result, threats to tropical forests exist at a range of scales: local - national - international.
Local Threats
An estimated 60% of tropical deforestation is caused by subsistence activities by people who use the rainforest's resources for their survival. Activities include:
- Slash and Burn techniques for forest clearance. This is achieved by clearing shrubbery and forest trees, leaving areas to dry and then burning it. The land is planted with crops like bananas, palms, manioc, maize, or rice. After a year or two productivity of the soil declines, and transient farmers move on.
- Wood gathered from forests is the major fuel in many countries.
- Introduction of domesticated animals by local land users can devastate local wild animal populations.
- Hunting to support subsistence agriculture is another major threat to wildlife at a local level.
National Threats
- Government policies and politics affect all levels of development, from local initiatives to international relations. All of these affect the tropical forest ecosystem.
- Governments encourage colonization of rainforest land. This land is seen as unproductive as it does not contribute to GNP. Tax incentives and building of large-scale infrastructure also drives colonisation.
- Resettlement programmes are another method of colonising the rainforest frontier.
- Increased levels of agriculture such as cash crops and cattle ranching put pressure on rainforest ecosystems due to land requirements.
- Legal logging practises. For more information visit: The Rainforest Information Center
International Threats
Most threats on an international level are driven by economic forces.
- Oil extraction. Like mining this process can devastate an area through the destruction of the forest, increased levels of infrastructure and workers, and pollution resulting from the oil extraction process.
- Mining (strip and open cast mining are the two most destructive types). Apart from the simple destruction of the forest above and around the mine, the mining process releases harmful toxins, like mercury and cyanide into local waterways, polluting the waters and surrounding lands.
- Cash crop agriculture has driven poorer people in to marginal land forcing many to cultivate forested areas.
- Ranching. Increased demands for cheap meat products in developing countries have driven market forces in this area.
- Logging. Continual demand for timber drives this destructive force. Short term logging concessions and the inability to control logging activities increase the rate of forest loss.
- Trade in endangered species is a multi-million pound economy and is steadily increasing with Bushmeat being one of the most significant trade products.
Edward O Wilson, an eminent biologist, discusses the loss of biodiversity in the book The Diversity of Life. Here he highlights the gravity of the situation.
" The worst thing that can happen, will happen, is not energy depletion, economic collapse, limited nuclear war, or conquest by a totalitarian government. As terrible as these catastrophes would be for us, they can be repaired within a few generations. The one process ongoing in the 1980's that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly that our descendants are least likely to forgive us." The Diversity of Life

The International Biodiversity Program
- Designed to increase the global knowledge of biodiversity through data collection worldwide.
- Aims to link organisations through data and idea sharing in order to assist conservation strategies.
- Debt for Nature Schemes
- Debt-for-nature swaps involve purchasing foreign debt, converting that debt into local currency and using the proceeds to fund conservation activities.
- Proven to be successful in some areas although still remains highly controversial.
Sustained Yield Forestry
- Aims to ensure long-term productivity of timber.
- Under a rotation scheme the forest is segmented, whilst certain areas are harvested, others are being planted.
- Selective Logging
- Includes plantation schemes, decreasing levels of infrastructure, establishing buffer zones, only logging certain species over certain ages, directional tree felling and careful planning, these all contribute to reduce the impact of logging.
- Seen as a positive way for developing countries to bring in foreign revenue through non-extractive resource use.
- Must be properly planned and have strict guidelines to ensure its long-term sustainability and success.
- Parks and Reserves
- Designation of areas where no extraction of natural resources takes place. However people that rely on the forest can loose or have their livelihoods diminished.
- This practise must work in conjunction with alternative development schemes.
- For more information visit: www.iucn.org
Species Action Plans
- In many areas plans are implemented to protect either specific or a range of species by measures such as legal protection, translocation, captive breeding as well as physical protection within designated reserves.
- For more information on conservation approaches visit The Rainforest Information Centre
Coral Cay works across a range of spatial scales to achieve conservation objectives. Our forest conservation projects work at a local level, often with local communities, and engaging other local stakeholders through alternative livelihood provision and capacity building e.g. skills training, environmental awareness schemes. At a national level, we collaborate with NGOs and Government departments to ensure more effective adoption of conservation outputs. Finally at an international level, through our volunteer programme, and also promoting project work and outputs at internationals forums and relevant media to encourage greater support for work 'on the ground'.
Survey Methodologies
The terrestrial biodiversity survey work of CCC follows widely accepted and standard approaches using peer-reviewed methods. The survey work is normally composed of three major elements, which include:
- Vegetation surveys and habitat mapping
- Vertebrate surveys
- Invertebrate surveys
This information is then compiled and analysed to formulate recommendations for sustainable management and conservation which can only be developed by local stakeholders.
Baseline Data
Coral Cay surveys focus on faunal and floral biodiversity, and this baseline ecological information provides:
- ecological data for habitat comparisons between monitoring sites. This includes assessing relative abundance and distribution of species in relation to habitat type.
- information for comparison with scientific surveys in other rainforest environments.
- records for national and International biodiversity databases and to compile full species inventories of the areas studied.
- Provide baseline data on which future management guidelines can be developed.
Data Analysis
Ultimately, the empirical data generated will be integrated with other (environmental, social and economic) data sets using a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to produce spatially referenced end user natural resource management tools.
What happens to the data?
The Coral Cay Data Highway flow diagram provides a graphic illustration of the 'inputs' and 'outputs' into data collection and analysis. Specifically for the forest projects, spatially referenced land cover data using digitised maps, aerial photographs and satellite images of the forest habitats is digitised into a GIS to create a base resource map for the forest area in question. Biodiversity distribution data gathered by Coral Cay volunteers is then overlaid onto this base map to classify the digitised features and produce detailed habitat and species distribution maps. The faunal and floral community composition data can then be extrapolated to classify other similar habitat areas within the same region of forest. Outputs from projects come in the form of resource assessment reports, conference papers, publications in peer reviewed journals, field guides and education materials.
Your Data
Every volunteer contributes valuable resource assessment data to a wider conservation process. Your data, in combination with that of others, contributes to the development of all outputs (as detailed above). Unfortunately it is not possible to compile reports regarding the data collected by individual volunteers but all your data is summarised in regular reports and other project outputs. Please be aware that the website is regularly updated and changed and may not feature all outputs produced at a particular expedition location. However, the CCC head office holds an extensive library of past reports, outputs, and other literature relating to the work of CCC, that we welcome you to consult. For further information, please contact the CCC science department firstname.lastname@example.com

A worthy successor October 7, 2013
Reviewer: olivergrendelholmes
Paul Thomas movies are usually incomprehensible messes, so I was a little scared to see this come down the pike, but someone else must have helped him make it. Tight, well-shot and real, The New Behind the Green Door is not a remake but a sequel. Marilyn Chambers' daughter (Brooklyn Lee) finds herself adrift in San Francisco with an ebbing trust fund, a deadbeat boyfriend, and no purpose in life, when mysterious stranger offers her adventure, knowledge, and the solution to a mystery.
Well-acted and complex for a porn movie, this features some good sex and an absorbing plot. You don't absolutely need to have seen the original, but I'd recommend it, not least because that;s a good one too.
