2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 Crew Cab SB
ProsIt's BIG. Its comfy, and has plenty of power ConsThe price
I Will Buy A Newer One Soon. — I love the flexibility of my Avalanche. I can haul the whole family (6 of us) or fold the seats down and haul full sheets of plywood. I can tow 8,000 pounds with ease. We can comfortably cruise down the highway at 70 mph and still get 20 mpg. Not too bad for a 6,300 pound vehicle. Primary Use: Commuting to work

2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
ProsWears many different hats for your needs. Fun and easy to drive. ConsBig ouch at the pump, big truck means tougher to park, cheap plastic gm interior.
Very Versitile Truck, With Great Attributes!! — This was a fun and versitile truck for my needs. Seats 5 large guys comfortably, room in the back for anything, and if it didn't fit, the mid gate and/or back window could come down, and the cover could be removed when needed! Nice interior...though poor/cheap GM quality! Great acceleration considering size...braking however was a little on the poor side! I miss this truck...I don't miss paying for the gas! |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
ProsSeats 6. Weather proof bed. Mid-gate system. Tows beautifully! Rides ConsGas milage. (why is it the cars I enjoy most have the worst gas milage?) Also, this model did not have leather and the seats made me feel like I needed and extra 2 inches of lift to see over the dash. (I'm 5'9")
This Is One Of Those "should Have Never Sold It" Cars!! — The first generation Avalanche was a love/hate vehicle from a styling standpoint. Personally, I like the body cladding for a few reasons beyond just the looks. Mine was a 2003 model and the cladding did need a little care to maintain it's color (not nearly as bad as the 2002), however, it's durable and gives the truck a tough, finished look because of the cladding on the sails. The ride is fantastic. It does not ride like a traditional truck because it is based on the Suburban platform. The bed and midgate system are amazing. First, because the bed is made using the room BETWEEN the wheel wells, you end up with lockable storage over the wheels. These bins are foam lined and have drain holes at the bottom...makes for a great cooler. Fill it with ice and toss your drinks in. Next, the midgate system is what makes the Avalanche the coolest truck around. If just need a 5' bed...no problem, it's there all the time. Need 8'? Drop the rear seats and open the gate. With the hard covers on over the bed, this makes an 8 foot bed that is climate controlled. Need vertical space? Remove the rear glass and store it in the midgate. Another fun thing to do is to remove just the rear glass, then drop all your windows. It's just about like having a convertible. If you ever need a good mixture of Truck and SUV, this is it. I'll make this simple... I WILL buy another one! |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
Prosthe versatility Consfuel economy
I Would Own Another One — Good all around truck, has good power lots of add ons like bose sunroof and much more, reasonably cheep to maintain, looks different from other vehicles on the road, with many out of the ordinary color choices, built chevy tough Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
Prosdrive through anything. Consbacking up
Like A Rock — Most awesome truck I've ever drove. It will drive through anything. Took it mudding and had to pull other trucks out with my truck with no problem at all. I love being able to drop the midgate and make it a long bed and I love that you can lock the bed and use it as a very large trunk. |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
ProsThe look ConsFilling up the gas tank!
Awesome Drive — I love the look and feel of this truck. Rides nice and has plenty of power for towing the camper.I like the look of the non cladded Avalanche. The clean lines of the trim and bumpers is nicer than the plastic cladding kit. The only downside is after awhile the bed covers start to leak. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 North Face Edition 4WD Crew Cab SB
Prosthe exclusive mid-gate Consnothing
Perfect — It's my favorite truck ever, it's perfect, it can be a pickup, an SUV, anything, plus its rugged cladding keeps the paint nice. and you can't beat a chevy. that thing will live longer than i will haha. And the gas mileage isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 Crew Cab SB
ProsDoes everything I have ever needed it to do. ConsBiggest con is the gas mileage, which wasn't as much of an issue in 2003.
Reliable And Safe — I really like my Avalanche. I had a red one prior to this one that was wrecked. My Avalanche has hauled everything from feed, to groceries, to animals and held up remarkably well. It rides well, has plenty of interior space, is comfortable on long trips and has enough power to do whatever I need. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 2500 4WD Crew Cab SB
ProsTons of fun, love my Black Pearl ConsBlind spots, but I got towing mirrors for those.
One Of The Best Trucks Chevy Every Built. — Tons of power, it is a 8.1L we're talking about. Body cladding makes it look very aggressive and screams Chevy. Fuel economy isn't great, it's not supposed to be with big trucks like this though. This Av 2500 is amazing to drive. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 4 Dr 1500 4WD Crew Cab SB
ProsLots of room, will go just about anywhere ConsHard on gas
For Fun — Fun to drive, hard on gas! Lots of power, drives like a big car. Not a big fan of the brakes, not as responsive as a car. Handles great, but hard to get around the city with it, parking etc. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

http://aliveherbalmedicine.com Alive Herbal Medicine seems out of place. Not because it's situated in the small Sunnyside neighborhood next to a residential area, or because the corrugated tin barn of a building looks like it belongs on a farm and not off a busy interstate in the middle of Denver. What feels out of place is where it's located in town. Specifically, the shop seems like it belongs on South Broadway or Federal along with the dozens of other warehouse-grade medical-pot clearinghouses -- although its publicity photos definitely make it stand out.

http://amchdenver.com Alternative Medicine on Capitol Hill has free chips, soda and waters for cotton-mouthed patients forced to wait behind people who take way too much time at the bud bar. The bud area is separated from the waiting area, and patients are let in one at a time. The room hums with the sound of the display coolers for refrigerated goods; there's a huge selection of edibles from Cheeba Chews, Mountain High, Mile High Ice Cream, Simply Pure, Julie & Kates, Northshore and a lot of others. If you prefer eating your ganja instead of smoking or vaping, this place is like the King Soopers of edibles. Otherwise, the shop is pretty simple, with a utilitarian gray carpet and simple glass countertops. A huge whiteboard features price breakdowns for all of the strains, waxes, hash, edibles and tinctures, making things easy to figure out. The shop also has cheaper strains sold in bulk starting at the half-ounce. That means less attention to the buds individually, so don't expect super-heady connoisseur nugs, but it's the type of well-grown, outdoor-quality herb that you'd love to find for $190 an ounce when you're broke.

https://www.facebook.com/altitudethedispensary The buds at the east location of Altitude live up to the dispensary's name. This is a marijuana outlet that focuses on quality which means that the prices are often a little steeper than what you might find elsewhere on the market. To help soothe the pain point of the price tag, Altitude offers happy hours for both medical and recreational customers. There are typically more than a dozen strains on the shelves at any given time, plus Altitude also sells bags of top-shelf shake for reasonable prices if you'd rather roll your own cone joints than purchase them. The dispensary also sells oil cartridges, topical creams and salves, drinks, edibles and extracts, to name just a few, plus pretty much everything you could possibly need to consume any/all of the above. The budtenders are friendly and helpful; in fact, the atmosphere that Altitude consciously cultivates brings back customers all by itself -- even if they can get pot elsewhere for cheaper. More >>
http://altitudedispensary.com/ The west location of Altitude the Dispensary carries more than a dozen strains of sativa, indica and hybrid on its shelves not a huge selection, but those strains that do grace the shelves of this Altitude outpost are of notably high quality. Of course, they carry a commensurate price uptick to go with the better bud, but that's to be expected. And the budtenders at Altitude are knowledgeable and patient; they're happy to walk brand-new patients through their strain options or help experienced users narrow down their ideal strain for either medical or recreational purposes. As at the east location, you can buy bags of top-shelf shake (either sativa or indica) for low prices if you want to roll your own joints instead of dropping cash on pre-rolls; there are also plenty of concentrates and edibles on the shelves for those who'd rather eat or drink their way to a high than smoke.

http://amadenvermmc.com Up the street from a police station and right behind the Department of Homeland Security, AMA is not ashamed of its business. The dispensary took a pretty nondescript old brick building literally a stone's throw from the law and painted a massive green graffiti-art rendition of its name on the side of it. The shop has been opened up to create one big space that still manages to feel somewhat cozy. AMA has a well-worn feel to it; there's no decoration to speak of, save for a few couches and a flat-screen with a vintage Atari machine below it, begging to be played. The bud bar has pot-product posters hanging on the walls, practically an entire corner devoted to edibles, and a bookcase full of vintage bobblehead dolls. The shop isn't dirty or dingy, just thrown together with the flair of a straight, blue-collar single dude. AMA carries a wide range of concentrates to match its herb selection, including kief, strainspecific bubble hash and BHO.

The Health Sciences Program is offered by the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (formerly School of Allied Medical Professions) at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Because health care is rapidly changing, there is a need for broadly educated graduates with extensive knowledge of health care and service-related topics.
At The Ohio State University at Lima, students can complete the Health Sciences Program and earn a Bachelor of Science in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Along with the Health Sciences curriculum, student will choose a minor or approved focus area. The opportunity for an internship also gives students a way to gain experience, further self-development and apply learning toward achievement of practical goals and skills under the supervision of a preceptor and the internship coordinator.
Beginning in Autumn Semester 2012, there will be three ways to navigate through the Health Sciences Program. The first (Plan A) is for students who want to attend professional or graduate school. This plan requires a higher level of math and chemistry than the other two. The second (Plan B) is for Lima students who are looking at the program as a finite degree and not planning to go to graduate school. The second plan requires an internship. The third (Plan C) is for students who have an associate degree in a related healthcare field. There is no minor required as the area of their associate degree is substituted. Transfer credit in equivalent and/or related coursework is acceptable for the major electives.
The Health Sciences Program prepares graduates for many career opportunities, beginning in a variety of entry-level positions in all sectors of the health care industry. These may include managed care organizations, hospitals, clinics, sub-acute and ambulatory care facilities, physician group practices, non-profit agencies, and insurance or commercial companies. Students who choose Plan A and take the higher levels of math and chemistry will be prepared for entry into graduate and professional programs. For students who have an associate degree in a related health field, completion of a bachelor' degree program may provide opportunities to advance in their careers.
The Health Sciences Program draws upon the resources of the faculty and staff of the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, as well as those here at Ohio State Lima.
Admission to the Health Sciences Program is a selective process. Students need a 2.5 GPA to apply and must have completed the following prerequisites with a C- or better.
Plan A Course Title | Credit Hours |
Psychology 1100 | 3 hrs |
Math 1150 | 4 hrs |
Three GEC science courses: Chemistry 1210 and 1220 and Biology 1113 | 14 hrs |
Plans B & C Course Title | Credit Hours |
Psychology 1100 | 3 hrs |
Math 1148 | 4 hrs |
Three GEC science courses: Chemistry 1110 and Biology 1113 and 1114 | 13 hrs |
Applications for admission to this program at Ohio State Lima are accepted twice per year. For consideration, applications must be submitted by the following deadlines:
Autumn Semester: by March 1
Spring Semester: by October 1
Students interested in applying must complete the online application used by all the undergraduate programs in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Application forms are available from the OSU Professional Admissions website at this URL- http://professional.osu.edu/alliedmed.asp.

What do you think about this video?
hunter047: This is years late, but if I may ask, what sort of charging handle do you
have on your PPS43? It looks similar to a K31's straight pull bolt. Mchitler08: well, if youre rich, its legal 1945Ace1: dear sir how do you get into building semi autos? do you order an video which teaches you how and do you need an license? Greg Clark: Yes - I'm the guy. It's a CD based book - not a video. More info at the GunBuilds web site. Uniform Tango 74: Cool vid. I visited your website too, pretty nice stuff you got there. I might have to find a kit for you ;) icankickflip: @gclark94560 okay. do you know where someone could get a PPSh-41 receiver? Ramerkay: @icankickflip centerfire sells them for less than half that Jeff Hickerson: If a person already has a semi auto PPs43-C and would like to make the shoulder stock legally work. how much would it cost to get the mechanics repaired? I would be able to provide proof of the $200 tax stamp prior to getting started. jittychitty: @icankickflip Here ya go...good luck. (gunbroker item #213131617) sonick808: tok ammo is impossible to find cheap anymore :( Stephen Farkas: My dad's not rich at all and he has many automatic weapons legally. Well of course he has a federal tax stamp nad yet he works with the law enforcment. Dennis Sutton: Nice but you can buy these for $350.00 in Semi auto. zackk5: God damn you're weird. Greg Clark: Indeed you are correct! However, this applies only to full autos registered prior to 1986. Since I just built this one I felt I needed to state that it was a legal semi-auto. Thanks! Mchitler08: that is obviously the exeption, and not the rule i was talking about a normal u.s. citizen, not a gun manufacturer with an NFA license or law enforcement Greg Clark: Right at the moment they go for somewhere between $700 and $900 depending on how well they are done and on a few options. pivotnoob236: ok all ive seen is that the stalk doesnt open, but can a semi auto be converted? Greg Clark: It's a closed bolt, hammer fired "pistol" - no buttstock, short barrel. CPRpaintball: thank you for this vid!!!! billandkym: they sell for 289.00 at SOG. Jeff Hickerson: If a person already has a semi auto PPs43-C and would like to make the shoulder stock work, how much would it cost to get the mechanics repaired? I would be able to provide proof of the $200 tax stamp prior to getting started. This is simply an inquiry at this point. USP1986: Full Autos are perfectly legal in the US, you just need that federal tax stamp. I'm sure you know this, but the way you stated it sounded like full autos were completely illegal. Zachary Taylor: wait i thought the pps 43 was a blow back system with no hammer or is that the ppsh 41 Greg Clark: HI! $500 if you supply all parts. $770 If I do. These are hand built and tested. They work fine with surplus ammo. thesatist: nice gun cant wait for mine PKYOASS123: How much would a semi- pps 43 sell for??? Greg Clark: @taylorzack78 - In its original form - yes. Mine is still blowback, but is modified to have a semi-auto hammer FCG. icankickflip: how much do you sell them for? jonflamion: i know u have a video on how to make these. if not i am mistaking you for someone, in your video does it show everything on how to make these functional, from a parts kit that you would buy regular to a rock n roll pistol. i am VERY interested in making one of these, think you can tell me a lil somethin somethin on how to make one... Greg Clark: Your point?? Take your $60 kit, add a $100 barrel and $75 for a receiver repair section plus $1000 for liability insurance and $5000 for a mill and $3000 for a lathe plus enough experience to actual;ly make all this work and ... Like I said - what's your point here? |

Final Thoughts
Oh how I've missed you ASUS, what a card! - Three slots is so overkill, but with onboard gigabit, decent quality audio and RAID, the need for multiple expansion cards isn't nearly as necessary as years past, which means that taking up an extra slot on top of the normal two doesn't really seem like all that much of a deal.
The cooler is fantastic. Sure, it's massive, and while it might run a little warmer than something like the Twin Frozr II MSI we recently looked at, this thing is just dead silent. It pretty much offers the noise of a passive cooled card with the performance of a good aftermarket cooler. There's not much more you can ask for from a cooler, well, maybe that it takes up two slots, but who cares?
Outside of that, though, we've got an "overclock", and I say "overclock" in quotation marks because it's annoying me a bit lately that companies push the core up 10MHz and throw the "overclock" tag on it, but none the less we still have it. More importantly, one of the big stand out features is the connectivity line-up with four DisplayPorts.
I'm all four DisplayPort (get it, see how I said "four"?). Get rid of DVI and HDMI and bring in the future of connectivity. It frustrates me as someone who owns three 27" DisplayPort monitors in Eyefinity that I still have to use a DVI cable because the HD 6950 I have only supports two mini-DP connectors.
The triple slot nature of the card has to be noted, it's going to be an important factor for some people. If it's not to you, though, and you want something that is pretty much silent, this is just a killer card. The performance of the cooler is even more exciting when you consider the fact we had the card clocked to its maximum speed in overdrive, and we were still able to achieve near silent numbers.
Just a really strong HD 6950 at a little over $300 USD, and to be honest you can see why ASUS is throwing the DirectCU II cooler on all these higher end models. It's nice to get something so meaty in the cooling department without the need to own a $600 USD model.

This was listed as a Sago Palm on a tour we took in PR.I dont think the picture shows it as good as seeing it in person.I walked up to it and the fronds are the same as my sago palms, and it was just starting to put out a new flush of 8 to 10 fronds,I dont think you can see them in the picture.I have a friend in Griffen,GA. growing a CIDP,the fronds have a totally diffrent feel and texture.When I first saw It I also thought it was a CIDP.In person you could tell it's not a CIDP. |
- Posted by xerophyte_nyc 7 (My Page) on Sun, May 9, 10 at 14:38
My vote is Encephalartos longifolius. E latifrons looks similar but it is unlikely to be it because of its extremely rare, and being close to extinct in the wild. Mature Macrozamia moorei also have a similar appearance to CIDP. As for age, I'd guess around 120-150 yrs. x |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7 (My Page) on Sun, May 9, 10 at 15:32
It looks a lot like a CIDP but the leaves on this one are shorter and arch more and the trunk is a little different. Not sure what cycad it is but it sure looks old! |
I figured it was older than that.I know some cycads live for hundreds of years.This tree was planted at the end of the drive, near the road of what they said was one of the oldest plantation houses on the island. I forget how old they said the house was.Is there any cycads native to PR?Not to change the subject,when we was traveling from the Atlantic side of the island to the caribbean side,I saw the biggest bamboo I have ever seen.They looked like bamboo on steriods,and huge Tree ferns,some even growing in full sun.I brought back some seeds from a tree there that kinda looked like a mimosa tree,but it had purple puff ball looking flowers.All the ones around here have pink flowers.Thanks X for the info.I will look up the ones you said it might be.What's the best website for info. on the many diffrent kinds of cycads? |
- Posted by xerophyte_nyc 7 (My Page) on Sun, May 9, 10 at 17:17
It could very well be older, or younger if growing conditions are ideal. Figure about 2-3 inches of new trunk height per flush once the caudex achieves adequate width; if it only flushed once a year - and the trunk looks to be about 15-20 ft, thats a foot of trunk every 5-6 years, which is how I got around 120 +/-. But if growing conditions are perfect and there are multiple flushes a year then it could be more like 50-60 years old. As for Cycad websites, there are some nice articles at Dave's Garden.

While we all wait for a proper new Zelda game on Wii U, Nintendo has decided to plug the gap with this spruced-up re-release of 2002's The Wind Waker. Before its release for the GameCube, The Wind Waker was controversial among Nintendo fans for going for a cartoony look, comic tone and childish Link after the more serious and grown-up Ocarina of Time on N64 a few years previously.…

Nintendo has an uncanny talent at taking an established genre and giving it a fresh, accessible spin, and one of the best examples of this skill is Pikmin. Best described as Nintendo's attempt at creating a Real Time Strategy series, it started life over a decade ago on the GameCube, but we've been forced to endure a nine year wait for an all-new instalment. Thankfully, the end result is of such high quality that it's easy to forgive the Japanese veteran for taking its time - in fact, Pikmin 3 is one of the finest releases on the Wii U yet seen.…

I gave into my weakness and ordered about 20 more potted native plants to scatter about the fencerows and maybe flower beds. I shouldn't have...but I doubt I'll have many regrets when they flower. Go out...indulge ;) Let me be your enabler, dear reader. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the encouragement. Going plant shopping in two days. We have had several days of 70 degree weather, so I am getting ready!! Also just planted 15 containers of easy to germinate native seeds. Think I have about 10 more to go. Winter sowing has shown promise...have to transplant those babies soon. Oops. Forgot that I was going on vacation soon. Too many thing to take care of in retirement years, not to mention multiple dr. appts. Yikes! |

I finally planted Chocolate Flower & a couple are just coming up. Also I am bound and determined to get a few Desert Globe-mallows (S. ambigua), so far three are up & I'm being careful since they damp off easy. I have gravel in the pots & this is my "special deal" this year, the obsession. I direct sowed a mix pack of wildflowers and these are up & coming along. Also there are many others I direct sowed that I am duplicating from perennials & shrubs I have & some I got in trades, can't remember what all. It will be a surprise. There's a lot of penstemon seed sowed, various varieties. Last fall I winter sowed a slew of Chamisa shrubs because I'd like to have quite a few. They are about 2" tall. Last fall I saved cuttings & sowed some seed indoors, I just planted a number of hardy Lantana & have some rooted cuttings of Turk's Cap to set in the ground + seedlings that are up. I just sat three small Salvia penstemenoides, agastache, Salvia greggii, Prince's Plume & some grasses in the ground that have been growing all winter in a big S. window. So far, I haven't ordered or bought any plants. I've been tempted but I'm doing it on the cheap this year but if I see something here locally thats native & I want it, I know I'll buy it. |

So, come on Barron, wha'd ya git? Don't leave us hanging. |
I recently (bout 2 years ago) had to sell my property and move in with my parents (mother was terminally ill), so I've somewhat started over. It was traumatic giving up land that I'd been planting natives on for twelve years, but necessary. Unfortunately my father feels they're all weeds, so we fight about it. What I decided to indulge in is below, I've grown them all before, but didn't have any now. asclepias purpurascens,asclepias syriaca,callirhoe involucrata,helenium flexuosum,heliopsis hellianthoides,nothoscordum bivalve,lobelia silphitica,carex eburnea,salvia azurea,mimulus ringens,rudbeckia subtomentosa,delphinium exaltatum. Most will go in the fencerows (only "safe" non-mowed place), but a couple are going to go in the flower beds by the house. I feel ridiculous buying rudbeckias, false garlic, and milkweeds. I had such a natural population of all those on my property in Oklahoma, that buying never entered the question. However, I'm also a photographer, and having subjects to photograph close by home is quite valuable. I can sympathize with Georgia O'Keefe, who said, 'I hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.' |

Great photos! Thanks for sharing. Blooming is late this year, so I needed that. |

I looked through the photos, great shots. I loved the liatris, I've never seen them look that pink & tall. I never had any luck getting Indian Paintbrush, love those too. Everything is late this year, ncrescue. The only thing I have blooming is bladderpod. Some plants that are typically green by now & forming buds are starting over from the ground, the whole tops died back. Seeds are slow in germinating too. I can't understand it, we've been warm since mid Feb. 50's,60's, 70's & 80's. The nights have been warm enough that I set plants out to harden off early March. Must have been the spells of very dry cold we had in January. |
Thanks. TexasRanger10, I had the fortune to own a small piece of wetland habitat. The L pycnostachys reached six and maybe seven feet that year (with ample rain). They were impressive, being taller than me. Yeah, this year...(as in my other thread), I lost a lot due to extra severe long winter. And flowers (including wildflowers are almost a month late). |

While We are Distracted by Gun Control - Pacific Southwest Is Being Handed Over to the UN
Submitted by clynbrit on Fri, 02/01/2013 - 11:09Marti Oakley The PPJ Gazette
"While we have been diverted with the governments plan to disarm us, that fine collection of corporatists, new world order advocates and United Nations servants have been busy using the federal register to implement United Nations Bio-regions within the United States. It has also initiated the closing off of public access roads."
The following is a good video about Agenda 21 and the land grab planned for most of the USA. Ignore the title of the video. It is unrelated. Maps of the land grab, wild lands project, are shown in the video. Much land in America, like the Pacific Southwest, will soon be off limits to the American people; owned by the UN. If you live in any of the zones shown for takeover, you will not live there in the near future.
By the time this is done there will be NO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP of LAND on Earth. It will all be state or monarch or NWO owned.

Not only is American land being stolen and given to the UN
American children are also being asked to serve in a Navy and Military which is now owned by the NWO, and their new oath is to serve the NWO in the world.

In our region the Feds are
In our region the Feds are buying up large tracts of farm and wetlands. In several cases the Nature Conservancy buys the land at above market rates, then sells it to the USA for the same price. There is a lot of formerly private land that is now off the property tax rolls, starving the local jurisdictions.
As mentioned in the article, the Feds are also cutting off timber sales on federal lands which plays havoc on the local economy. Not only do we lose the logging and mill jobs, we used to rely on the timber money for schools and roads, Oregon counties have been scrambling.
I also know that the Bureau of Land Management has a project going to clean up their data on access easements and roads over and to Federal lands. That would support a plan to close off access roads.

Watch the video.
It explains a lot. Paints a terrible future for all of us under a communist fascist regime. But that is exactly the plan under Agenda 21.

I cannot beleive all of this is happening
right under the noses of the American people. The military are in urban areas practicing, in place for martial law to be enacted. Executive orders allow people to be picked up without a warrant and held indefinitely, executed without accountability. Americans are being disarmed under the UN Gun Ban Treaty; again more NWO.
All the trappings are there for the fascist police state, and add to that the handing over of American land to the UN and the NWO. Everyone is sitting back and allowing their country to be stolen from them. It will be a long day in hell before most people awaken.

Hi mike, Here is my $0.02. Rent a very beefy weedwacker, but instead of a string at the end put a saw blade. Heavy duty weedwackers have these attachment blades. They will make short work of any vines, brambles and even small trees. They are fast workers. Wear protective clothing and a face shield. I never had so much fun. JMHO. Good luck. |

I usually clear areas like that by breaking it up into smaller chunks. Clear alleys through the brush every 10 or so feet until you reach the clear spot on the other side. If you chainsaw something, or use loppers on it, leave enough of the stems for leverage. A mattock (grub axe, Pulaski ... whatever you call it) will make short work of digging out the roots. Watch it for a summer to make sure nothing evil resprouts and plant a nice perennial bed or a garden there. |
How large is the area? If it's large enough for a tractor, I'd go on Craig's List and look for someone that mows or find a feed store and ask if they can recommend someone that owns a tractor with a flail. DS has this done often on portions of his property that gets covered in weeds and briars. |

If some of the vines/shrubs/trees don't want to die and are a serious nuisance, here's how to keep them from coming back: Buy a bottle of Ortho Max Poison Ivy and Tough Brush Killer Concentrate. It must be the concentrate. I used to buy it at Lowe's, but this spring I needed more (2 acres; poison ivy) and could only find it at Home Depot. The active ingredient is triclopyr. It's not terrifically good for the environment, but you're going to use very little of it and only directly on the bad plants, and they will soak it all up. Pick a day and time when the plant is actively growing (warm or hot; mid-day rather than evening; preferably when there's plenty of moisture in the ground). Cut off the stem or trunk. Immediately cover the stem with triclopyr concentrate. The easiest methods I've used to apply the triclopyr are with an eyedropper or a small brush. I've used it on small shrubs and the stump of a formerly-15' box elder. So far nothing has grown back. |

A Central Coast woman suffered a massive stroke at age 40.
Kandy Noel considered herself to be healthy at the time.
Now she is sharing her story in hopes of inspiring heart care in others.
Friday may have been National Wear Red Day, but every day Kandy lives the Go Red message.
"Watching my mom have a stroke and having some of those same symptoms, but not even correlating it because I was 40 years old she was 80. So you just don't think about it happening at a young age."
Those are some of the misconceptions the American Heart Association wants to clear up through events like Friday's luncheon at the San Luis Obispo Country Club where Kandy was asked to share her story.
"At 40 years-old it was very sobering to think oh my gosh is this going to happen to me too?" said Kandy.
She said if she had just known the warning signs of stroke, she may have questioned her doctor who diagnosed her symptoms as migraines.
"Sudden loss of speech, stumbling, not being able to control my body, those two things happened to me. At the time my doctors thought it was related to migraines headaches, but I had never had them before. If I had known those warning signs, I could've said, 'no I think this is something different.'"
If her story does not hit home, maybe these statistics will:
Heart disease is the number one killer of women age 25 and over and it claims nearly half a million female lives each year, that's almost one life per minute, that's according to the American Heart Association.
If you are a woman who has a story to tell about healthy choices you have made, the American Heart Association may pick you to represent the Go Red for Women 2010-2011 campaign.

If your plants are outside and you're not misting them, you'll be astonished at the results if you do.
Misting Osmanthus produced more new growth, both at the tips and along the stem. It also brings on flower buds. The effect of misting is most marked on this one. Gardenias, jasmines, aglaia, michelia figo, artabotrys-- misting these regularly produces new growth along the stem. Try it, you'll be delighted. Takes maybe three weeks to start to see the little nubbins of growth begin. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mehitabel, when do you mist them, I mean in the morning, afternoon or evening? |
Khandi, I mist them when I visit them in the morning and evening, whenever I water them, and during the day if I'm home and feel like taking a break to go look at them. Just mist them whenever I'm out there. They love it, especially when it's really hot or windy. I got this idea from someone who was on this forum several years ago and set up an automatic misting system for his plants. Can't remember his name, but he got such wonderful results from misting them several times a day, I started doing it by hand as often as I could. Also, I love playing with the hose :P If it were cold or pretty cool, I probably wouldn't do it. You know, wet cold = disaster. But here, it's actually quite hot in the sun even on a pretty brisk day, so it doesn't overdo the watering. On Osmanthus, the effect is really astounding. If you try it, I hope you'll post about your results. I'd like to know if you get the same results, you have such a green thumb for fragrants. |

Attend a Touristy Flamenco Show
Eat paella and drink sangria if you must, but flamenco is one Spanish tradition that's best seen south of Madrid rather than in Catalonia. If it's polka dots and castanets you want, you'll find no shortage of flyers advertising gigs as you stroll along La Rambla, particularly in tourist season. Trouble is, many of these performances lack the duende—that intangible element that makes seeing live flamenco a magical experience.
Seek Out Rumba Catalana
Barcelona's own brand of the foot-tapping style made famous by the band the Gipsy Kings originated in the inner 'hoods (most notably Gràcia and El Raval) with Catalan gypsies. Its style reflects the melting pot of its domain, fusing Catalan and Spanish languages and Latin, Andalusian, and Afro-Caribbean beats with a huge dose of irony. After languishing for a decade or so (the last big Rumba Catalana hit was Amigos para siempre, a 1992 Olympic Games anthem performed by Los Manolos in acid-colored zoot suits), Rumba Catalana is experiencing something of a renaissance, turning up at almost every fiesta in town (particularly La Mercè and the Festas de Gràcia in late August). Or you could try Sala Apolo [2], a lively little music venue that hosts a Rumba Club every week.

This is really a shared account between Helen and Aoibhe. Helen is Welsh, in her mid thirties and teaches English and History. Aoibhe is Scots, six weeks older, and works in customer service. The majority of the posts and feedback will come from Helen, but Aoibhe will occasionally have something to share.
We love to travel and are currently living in our fourth country. Since we've just bought a house and a bit of land, we're probably here to stay for quite a while. It appears we've become adults, which is rather scary...
Helen considers herself to be a good basic cook, but is trying to branch out and try new things. Aoibhe doesn't really enjoy cooking, but loves to eat, and she always has an opinion on what she eats.
Helen enjoys reading, gardening and adores old movies. Aoibhe likes to run. Helen is not designed to run and thinks this is slightly mad.
Favourite dish to cook? Just about anything as long as the directions are clear.
Famous dish? Helen's mum's Welsh cakes and Aoibhe's gran's shortbread. One of these days we'll post the recipes.
Favourite restaurant? We've eaten at so many fantastic restaurants in so many places, that it's impossible to name just one.
Helen will eat just about anything. She has a weakness for chocolate, bread, potatoes, cheese (especially blue cheese) and pasta.
Aoibhe will eat everything except shellfish. She also has a weakness for chocolate and cheese.

Shutterbugs are going to lose their minds when they see the Digimo Camera. The Digimo Camera is a conceptual camera split into two pieces that can either work simultaneously or interdependently of one another.
Steve Sangik Lee is the designer behind the Digimo Camera. He created the Digimo to give photographers more freedom in how they take photos. When combined, the Digimo has dual linked displays that make taking 3D photographs a snap. When apart, one Digimo can be used to take photos while the other functions as a remote. The camera comes with an adjustable leg that can be used as a stand and an attachment to help elevate your device.
The Digimo Camera is easily one of the most ambitious camera concepts out there today.

I have always used the viva method BC from this site and do like it but wanted to try something different. Just tried a whipped cream frosting from this site with lemon extract (to go with a WASC cake w/lemon curd filling) and boy is it luscious but I don't think I can decorate with it. Any suggestions? I like the IMBC idea but it calls for so much butter-I give away my cakes so can't really afford to put that much into my frosting.

Hosted at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida! Come enjoy the Feast of The Lord, meet new mishpocha, and enjoy the sunshine!!!
Registration Opens on the first day of the Count of the Omer. April 20th!
Sowing seeds for His glory and His harvest. Come learn from these inspired teachers of His word!
To Book your stay at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek click below or call and mention Shavuot 2014 for a special discounted rate!
The Hebrew word sheva means seven, shavu'ah means week, and shavu'ot means weeks. Exactly seven weeks after the first harvest of barley is the celebration of Shavuot ("weeks"), one of the three pilgrimage holidays where Israel would come to the mishkan (and later the Temple) to present the firstfruits of their spring crops before the LORD. Since Shavuot occurs on the 50th day after Passover, the Greek translators of the Torah called this day "Pentecost."
Wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates (Deut. 8:8). As soon as an Israelite farmer saw the first sign of ripening fruit in his field or orchard, he would tie a string or ribbon around it and designate it as bikkurim.

We recently posted the top 10 most pirated TV shows of the season, and in it HBO says that they actually think it's a huge compliment to have the most pirated show on television. Another company on the other hand, doesn't quite enjoy the reports of Game of Thrones breaking the "BitTorrent Piracy Record." And that company is BitTorrent.
That's because despite the fact that the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol is enabling ridiculous amounts of piracy around the world, the company that maintains that protocol is headed in the opposite direction. BitTorrent Inc, has numerous efforts on promoting legal content that can be distributed through the protocol, like the most recent BitTorrent Bundle. The problem is because the technology is open-source and has their named tied to it, plenty of people of associate BitTorrent with piracy.
On a blog post titled, The Real King of BitTorrent, BitTorrent VP of Marketing Matt Mason tried to distance the company from the rampant piracy that is enabled by the BitTorrent protocol:
The idea of a "BitTorrent Piracy Record" is a complete fabrication. Because there's actually no such thing as a "BitTorrent piracy record". Because piracy happens outside the BitTorrent ecosystem.
We don't host infringing content. We don't point to it. It's literally impossible to "illegally download something on BitTorrent." To pirate stuff, you need more than a protocol. You need search, a pirate content site, and a content manager. We offer none of those things. If you're using BitTorrent for piracy, you're doing it wrong.
While the things he's mentioned are understandable, I have an issue with the statement that it is "impossible to illegally download something on BitTorrent." Because if he's talking about the BitTorrent client, and he most likely is, then what is this?
Sounds like someone got a little too excited. But I think for Mr. Mason's sake, we should all remember that piracy doesn't equal BitTorrent the company. Piracy is just enabled by their file-sharing protocol, which is also called BitTorrent. Yeah, that's not confusing at all.

The word "Torrent" sounds bad, like in "torrents of water carried them away".
change the word to Zepher or Breeze and it doesn't sound bad anymore. Just sayin'
Who would you rather deal with? Crap Stabber or Soothing Lotion? It's all in the perception.

Important Information >>
Yoav S. Liberman is a studio furniture artist, an architect and an inventor. His work combines the old and new, using found objects and discarded wood as sources of inspiration for the pieces that he builds.
My Art piece is the first to be bid on at the breakthrough "Cores" show & auction by the Center for Art in Wood, Philadelphia. Fifty renowned artists were invited to make a piece that originated from the remains of Robin Wood's wood-turning left overs. Every participating artist received an odd shaped wooden core (mine looked like a miniature wasp hive) that was the cast-away core of a wooden bowl from Robin's turning project. The artists were asked to create something with this core. I decided to celebrate it as they do with ancient ceramic or other artifacts found in archeological diggings and displayed on a museum wall. First I bleached my core, making it look like a chalky clay vase. I then crafted for it a display frame made from canvas and mahogany. Next, I installed a hanging fork and created an archeologist's scale to allow the viewer to asses the object's size. I crafted the piece to look like something that might be displayed in the Met's ancient Israel wings (if they had one). Nevertheless, I am proud to be the first artist whose piece has been bid on. To see all the works please visit this ebay link. There are some really nice pieces in the auction.
