PR release: U.S. gov. response to Hurricane Katrina
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff outlined actions underway as part of a massive Federal effort to save lives, sustain lives and support recovery and law enforcement operations in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. Currently on the ground, there are more than 15,000 National Guardsmen; 7,800 U.S. Military personnel; 4,000 Coast Guard personnel; more than 400 federal law enforcement officers; and 61 FEMA Response Teams.
Working with state and local authorities, we are making available essential supplies and medical assistance; and we continue to execute a comprehensive and urgent recovery effort. So far, the federal government has moved millions of commodities of water, ice and meals ready to eat (MREs) into the affected areas, totaling more than 125 tons of relief supplies. As of this morning, more than 4,500 lives have been saved, more than 30,000 people have been assisted, and more than 22,000 refugees have been evacuated.
The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port offloaded oil last night for the first time since the hurricane struck. There are currently four additional vessels positioned to offload.
Hazards from weakened and damaged trees, downed power lines, high water, health concerns, and other dangers remain. Federal officials continue to urge citizens to be mindful of instructions from state and local officials who have asked that individuals remain in shelters and away from impacted areas until further notice.
Highlights of the federal response as of 10 a.m. include:

Recent Apollo Reviews
Every party of this condo is renovated from the floors to the air vents. It is simply beautiful! We had two families staying here together comfortably. The view was amazing and we saw dolphins every day from the balcony. There were plenty of beach toys, chairs and towels for us to use which was nice!
Condo was fairly clean - think maybe cleaning person rushed through to get it done quickly. But beds/sheets were clean and comfortable. (mattresses very noisy though)
It was nice that the Sunset Grille was downstairs, we dined there alot! This was our second time on the island and we knew most of the places to visit. Definitely visit the Snook Inn restaurant - best one on the island. We also enjoyed Quinns which is in the back of the Marriott. Also, a quick 15 minute drive to Isle of Capri for Capri Fish House is awesome for food and kayak rental. If you have young children, go to Frank Mackle park, huge play area and splash park, small basketball goals for the little ones. My kids LOVE this place! (and free!)
I would definitely stay in this condo again, so relaxing and beautiful! Rebecca was great during the booking process. Wish I could stay here forever, but now it is back to reality.
Amazing Condo and Great Vacation
My husband and I stayed at this condo from 10/18/14 - 10/25/14. We chose this unit for the location, beautiful balcony views, the updated features in the condo and the amenities offered for the great price. We arrived around 6 pm on Saturday, picked up our keys from the lock box at the rental agency and were in the condo in no time. It was nice having the Sunset Grille downstairs for a quick meal. We made use of the kitchen by eating in several nights and having lunch in the condo when taking a break from the beautiful beach. The condo had everything we needed and more. The storage closet outside the unit with the beach supplies was well stocked with quality beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler. We put them all to good use. The condo was the perfect size for the 2 of us. I would definitely recommend this condo!
Very nice!
Loved the condo, stayed there with my grown children. We all love to cook and the kitchen was beyond equipped. The view of the beach....especially at sunset ...is breathtaking. Got very cold a few evenings and there were plenty of blankets. Would stay again!

My husband inherited a house in upstate NY and cut all utilities off over the winter. House has well water so all toilets were dry when he left. What should I expect? Is everything gonna be covered with mold? I'm kinda flipping out coz I'm going to move there to clean and get it ready for sale. Thanks. |

Considering the temperatures this winter, as long as the roof didn't leak, it's probably been preserved pretty well in the deep freeze. Mold should be the least of your worries in upstate NY in winter. |
If the toilets and other water traps in the house are dry, then sewer or septic gases have been pouring into the house and it's going to reek! Usually, you'd pour anti-freeze into the traps if you're turning the heat off. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Fri, Mar 7, 14 at 16:05
You should be able to air that out by opening windows though, and as soon as you get there run water into every drain to block them off from sewer gas again. |
my surprise - in a house without heat all winter - basement floor heaved |
My main concern would be that the house temperature would get lower than freezing and that the pipes would burst. Even if the utilities are shut off, the water pipes could contain enough water to cause damage, even if the taps were all opened. You may not have water spilling out if the water is shut off, but when it is turned back on you will find out if you are going to have flooding. |

No, doesn't make sense at all. Why should a country like China care about the GM factor? What's the logic here?
Why no mention of the persecution and attempts at ethnic cleansing of their non-Slavic...
So why should we care? Isn't that how we're supposed to think?
The levels of violence and threats the pro-vax crowd will resort to. All for something that's...
They could only get away with this after passing laws which conned the population into a mindset...
so the poor slaves are upset about the terminology being used on their ownership papers.
In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.

American Water Named To Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index For Second Consecutive Year
American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation's largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, has been named to the 2013 Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index (DJSI), the second consecutive year the company received this honor.
"We are privileged to be recognized by the Dow Jones Sustainability (DJSI) North America Index for the second consecutive year," said Jeff Sterba, president and CEO of American Water. "Benchmarking our corporate responsibility practices against the DJSI's rigorous standards supports our continuous effort to explore and improve the impacts of our business on society and the environment. This is a testament to our commitment to ensure American Water is operated with the utmost integrity, and protects the sustainability of its business and the resources it stewards for generations to come."
In 2012, American Water was the first U.S. water utility to be included in the DJSI annual listing and is again the only water utility that made the list. The company showed the greatest increase in the categories of customer relationship management, human capital development and climate strategy.

At the Hospital
If you suspect you are having a heart attack, you need to call 911 to get an emergency department as quickly as possible. In the emergency department, you will immediately have an IV and an electrocardiogram (ECG).
The results, combined with the patient's symptoms, give doctors a pretty good idea whether a heart attack has occurred. Blood tests will be sent for additional information. However, treatment must begin immediately. You will likely be given nitroglycerin, other pain relievers as needed, an aspirin and other medicines to prevent new blood clots, and a statin drug.
You may go to the catheterization laboratory for an emergent cardiac cath. This procedure allows the heart specialist to detect blockages in one or more of the coronary arteries. If there is a blockage, the doctor will use a balloon to open the artery. The goal is to get blood past the blockage as quickly as possible. This helps limit heart damage from the heart attack. If your hospital does not have such a laboratory, you might be transferred by ambulance to another, bigger hospital with a catheterization laboratory.
If cardiac cath is not indicated, you may receive a clot-busting drug instead. It is given through the IV.
Blood will be drawn and sent to the laboratory. One of the blood tests is a troponin. Troponin is an enzyme that lives within the heart muscle cells; it appears in the blood stream only if cells are damaged or dying. The laboratory will also check levels of calcium, sodium, potassium and other minerals called electrolytes, which help keep the heart beating.
Doctors in the emergency department also look for arrhythmias, the dangerous, unsteady, irregular or excessively rapid or slow beating of the heart. For certain life-threatening arrhythmias a defibrillator may be used to restore steady beating. A defibrillator is a portable machine that delivers a strong electrical impulse to "shock" the heart back into a regular rhythm. Defibrillation is used to interrupt ventricular fibrillation - extremely rapid, ineffectual contractions of the ventricles that result in death if not reversed quickly. The flurry of activity in the emergency department begins to slow when you are stabilized. After that, you will be transferred to the cardiac care unit (CCU) or to an "intermediate care unit" (also called a "step down unit"). These highly specialized environments are designed to treat patients with heart disease and prevent complications. They are staffed with specialists ranging from cardiac nurses to cardiologists.
Doctors and nurses monitor your blood pressure and heart rate as well as the electrical activity of the heart. ECG leads are attached to your chest and a monitor is placed near your bed. Members of the medical staff can glance at a monitor for each patient and tell exactly how you are faring from one moment to the next.
In the CCU or intermediate care unit, patients rest and begin to recover. Drug therapies begun in the emergency room are continued. While in these units, patients sometimes receive oxygen to ease part of the heart's job.
In the old days, bed rest meant just that: rest. Today, doctors know that too much rest actually can cause problems instead of resolving them. Lying down for long periods of time without changing position gives the blood the chance to pool in places it shouldn't. It also encourages muscles to cramp. These complications can be avoided by moving around in the room.
At first, you will be encouraged to sit up in bed for short periods. After that, you'll graduate to sitting in a chair and then start taking short walks.

CBS 2 - Search Results
Two More Juveniles Caught After Eldora Escape
DES MOINES, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) Two students who ran from the Eldora State Training School in north-central Iowa have been apprehended, and authorities continue searching for a third who remains at large.
The two students were apprehended in Cedar Rapids, one on Sunday evening and the other on Monday afternoon. The Muscatine County Sheriffs Office has reported that a third youth is a suspect in crimes over the weekend.
We appreciate the safe return of two students, and law enforcements continued efforts in searching for the third, said DHS Director Charles M. Palmer. We hope the young man can be apprehended without further incident.
A group of eight students ran from staff when they were escorted from the gymnasium to their cottage Thursday evening. Local law enforcement were contacted immediately to assist with the search for the youth, who ran into a nearby wooded area. Five students were returned to the facility within an hour.
The Eldora State Training School has 130 beds for seriously delinquent youth ages 12-18 who were adjudicated mainly for offenses against a person, including felonies and aggravated misdemeanors. The facility is accredited through the American Correctional Association, and the court orders placement there. Eldora provides treatment and educational services within a highly-structured setting to assist delinquent youth.

We are in the beginning process of renovating our home. We have chosen a few species of wood for cabinets and I'm going crazy! I absolutely love the hickory cabinets that kraftmaid has, but we are not doing a rustic kitchen. Does anyone here have hickory in a non rustic kitchen? We of course could stain it darker to mute the tones, but then you start losing that uniqueness. We also love the quarter sawn oak. I love the grain, I'm a little concerned it will look too uniform or formal but I do love it. We would stain that fairly dark. We do prefer wood with movement and variation, definitely not into maple.. We are going back and forth between wood laminate floors and slate floors, and countertops will be chosen once we choose the floor and cabinets. What do you all think about a hickory cabinet ina non rustic kitchen. I think maybe the natural movement and variation of the slate would go well with the hickory. Likewise, the wood laminate may go best with the quarter sawn oak. |

Hickory can make a beautiful kitchen. However, KM hickory is a bit more rustic than you actually sound like you want. You should find a maker who uses something like select hickory or pecan. The two are completely interchangeable grainwise. Try Dynasty for that. Quartersawn oak is also beautiful, but if you plan on going dark, you lose the grain that makes it so special. Keep it medium to light if you choose it, or you're wasting money on the upgrade and might as well choose plainsawn oak. The other thing is that laminate is NOT wood. It's plastic over a paper picture of wood on MDF. The MDF is the only wood product in it. Once it scratches, it's ruined and cannot be repaired. It's also not the best choice for a kitchen unless you do a glue together installation to keep the moisture out of the seams. You can usually buy a medium grade wood for the same amount that a higher grade laminate will cost you, and at least with real wood, it can be refinished if it becomes damaged. Slate would also be a good choice but be careful of the source. Box store slate can have as high as a 50% cull rate so it actually ends up costing as much as a more premium slate from another better quality flooring supplier. |

Slate and hickory! That sounds beautiful. What style are the cabinets? The style will make all the difference. I would try to choose a counter top at the same time to make sure it all works together. |
I think Hickory cabinetry is always going to be a bit on the rustic side, but what you put with it can make it less rustic. Since you were thinking of a dark stain, why not do a dark stain on cherry with hickory floors. Found theses hickory pics on Houzz: |

I've had QS oak, hickory, and premium hickory. Really liked them all. Our current kitchen is premium hickory with a chestnut stain. It's a medium dark stain, and it is nice. If you want the grain to be quite pronounced, you may not like the premium hickory. The floors are character hickory with clear coat (no stain). Our previous home had QS oak that was stained fruitwood color, a medium stain, and it was gorgeous. I spent quite a bit of time with the cabinet maker, and our painter, to come up with just the right color stain I wanted. A good cabinet maker will work with you, and will even have SW or BM custom mix a stain that you like. I love the hickory we currently have, but kind of wish I'd gone with the QS again. I love QS in a darker stain. If done right, it doesn't lose the grain definition at all. In fact, I think if it's too light, the grain isn't accented enough. Our old house also had all QS floors and woodwork, and it was a medium dark color. Oh, my it was pretty. while working with our cabinetmaker, he was also doing some cabinets in QS with a very dark/reddish stain, and they were absolutely dynamite. Much antique furniture is QS oak, and stained (or aged) very dark. Beautiful. |

Thanks for all the responses! It turns out the other half isn't so hot to trot for the hickory cabinets...I was thinking a medium light hickory cabinet with a black galaxy counter and slate floors. I don't think he cared for that. I think I got him to like the quartersawn oak...he likes a more consistent wood and i like lots of movement and the natural look. A quartersawn oak in a darker stain looks nice - it does hide some of the markings but the beautiful and unique grain still does show through/give an interesting texture. So we may go with that, and then either White Springs Granite/Stellar Snow quartz, and a hickory floor stained in something light but warm. Don't you just hate it when the other half doesn't agree with an obviously correct opinion :) Custom cabinets are a little out of our price range unfortunately, we got a quote from Kraftmaid for 5200 for hickory shaker (9.5x15 kitchen with 10 cabinets). |

The Haywood Community College Natural Resources Management Department, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, the Town of Maggie Valley, and Haywood Waterways Association are sponsoring a CATCH (Caring For Aquatics Through Conservation Habits) youth fishing clinic during the 19th Annual Great Smoky Mountain Trout Festival. The two clinics will be held on Saturday, June 21 at the Maggie Valley Festival Grounds. The first clinic will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 12:00 p.m. and requires pre-registration. An afternoon clinic with on-site registration will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m.
The CATCH program is designed to teach young people "how," "when," and "where" to fish as well as to introduce lessons in aquatic ecology, water safety, fishing ethics, and respect for the outdoors. Many youngsters in our community have never had a chance to learn how to fish or to explore aquatic habitats. CATCH provides this environmental education opportunity.
The CATCH Clinic is open to youth between the ages of 6 and 15. Necessary equipment will be furnished. A parent or guardian must register and attend with the youth.
The number of participants will be limited. To register, call Dave Dudek (828) 627-4564, or Jenny Carver (828) 627-4560 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Join the fun! Get hooked on fishing!

The Mitsubishi's driver, also a Kingsville man, had minor injuries, but didn't want to be taken to a hospital.

I suggest you carve out about 2-6 hours and read through this forum. There is a wealth of information on steps to take. I would wait to do everything POST discharge of your Chapter 7. I'd also remove yourself as an autohorized user, you can always be added down the road.
I don't think it would hurt to open an account with them now. That way you'll have a little history with them by the time you begin applying for credit after your bk discharges.

By Dr. Theresa M. Kelly Metaphysicist
The following is a summary of my hypothesis of the mechanisms involved in psi processes.
When an individual finds themselves in an urgent need (psi is theorized to be a evolutionary survival mechanism by most parapsychologists), I assume the psychophysiological stress caused by the 'need' results in oxidative stress in various areas of the body.
I assume this results in the increase of the amplitude of the ultra-weak biophotonic field around the individual (scientifically proven to exist) due to electrons in the body being lowered to the ground state where by emitting biophotons.
At this time, I assume the biophotons then detect diverse information in regards to the individual, the situation, and the environment via the quantum teleportation of information (communication of information at a distance between photons; a scientific possibility).
I then assume the biophoton energy is then converted into electrical energy (scientifically possible) and the information is then processed by the central nervous system, and sent through the memory areas of the brain (a parapsychological theory with a very solid basis) and shortly thereafter the information is consciously cognized by the individual.
This particular model assumes the process of receiving psi-based information through Clairvoyance. The same model can be used to describe ESP reception and transmission, and PK (e.g. 'environment, biophotonic field, CNS, memory, conscious awareness' or reverse 'conscious/subconscious intent, memory, CNS, biophotonic field, environment.')
(Adapted from the book "A Quantum Approach Series" by Dr. Theresa M. Kelly.)
Related Articles
The first sight model helps the parapsychological community answer difficult questions like "why do ghosts wear clothes?" or "how can there be apparitions of living individuals?"
Such experiences are assumed the result of hallucinations, possibly mediated via telepathy or clairvoyance. Such hallucinations are assumed a product of the mind and constructed from images in the "receivers" memory, rather from the "senders" memory.
Therefore, it is assumed that no mediation of visual impressions from the sender to the receiver has occurred, but rather the mediation of generalized information to be later cognized via the receivers own memorial images.
Assumptions continue suggesting that the images are retrieved from the receiver's conscious and subconscious memory (i.e. extrasensory experience arises exclusively from memory).

A Mother's Influence in Her Son's Life
By kguard
A case in point: Mikey's mother and father fostered a deteriorating marriage for a number of years "for the sake of the kids", all the while intense anger, bitterness and resentment were building on both sides for various reasons. During these emotionally charged years, Mikey's mother disclosed her feelings about his father to him oftentimes at the breakfast table. Largely to fulfill her own malnourished emotional needs, she would confide in Mikey about how his father hurt her. The marriage finally ended in divorce. Mikey blamed his father probably because he was subtly coerced into identifying with his mother's pain and did not consider any emotional distress that his father may have been going through. Years after the divorce, Mikey, as an adult, found himself still catering to his mother's every whim and seeing her very much as a victim of abuse by his father. In reality, enough time had gone by for Mikey's mom to heal emotionally and perhaps even re-marry but to her unconscious mind that would mean relinquishing the hold she had on her children. Mikey is completely unaware of his fear that his mother will feel the same about him as she feels about his father, so he continues to coddle her, much to the chagrin of his new wife who doesn't see Mikey's mom as a victim but as a manipulator. Mom keeps her negative attitudes alive in Mikey's mind by strategically reminding him of father's past bad deeds, mostly around the breakfast table.
Another mistake that mothers make
As seen in the above scenario, making your emotionally immature son your confidant puts a burden on him that is difficult for him to shoulder. When a son sees his mother in pain, he feels like he needs to take matters into his own hands and "fix" the situation. As his mother leans on him emotionally, she is reinforcing his perception of himself as somebody that must be leaned upon in order to have purpose in life. In his future relationships, this causes him to build resentment for his wife if she does not display the emotionally deficient and needy qualities of his mother.
Become Aware
Mothering your children in a loving way is the best gift and that involves taking conscious inventory of your personal beliefs and attitudes. A boy's world view, in particular, is profoundly shaped by what his mother demonstrates in rearing him day by day and year after year. Your son will learn to love and respect other people, most importantly his wife, by modeling after you.

hey felllas, ive been brewing for a few weeks, i'm my forth brew in. i've always used wyaest. the nearest brew shop is 30 min away, but i got a few packets of dry muntons yeast from the kits i got online, i wanted to make my latest ale from the dry yeast i had, so i guess my question is does this regular muntons dry yeast compare to a matched up wyeast as far as alcohol and flavor are concerned?
WYeasy and White Labs seem to have more specific strains of yeast, and the slam pack with the nutrient inside are pretty good. Honestly, I have made good beer with both dry and liquid yeast I have made good beer making a starter and just sprinkling the dry yeast on the wort and I have made good beer harvesting yeast from a just emptied primary. I think it's all a matter of opinion. What kind of yeast do you have and what kind of ale were you planning. Maybe scraping some of the wyeast from your primary and reusing it would be a fair compromise.
Munton's is poor quality yeast, and isn't recommended for all-malt beers. Munton's Gold may be marginally better. Coopers is also not a great yeast, in my opinion, with a weird woody flavor that is pretty bad. I'd toss any Cooper's or Munton's packages and buy a good quality yeast. As far as quality dry yeast, try Danstar products (nottingham, Munich (for wheat beer) or Safale products (S05 or S04). If you're making English beers, try S04. For American style ales, S05 is awesome.
dry yeasts are far better then they used to be and still make a great beer, only downside is you cant make a starter from them. Just started making starters for my beer myself and my last several batches have been way better and faster.
Probably 75% of my beers are fermented with US-05 or S-04. I also use Nottingham on a couple of my recipes. I always rehydrate my dry yeast and only use liquid yeast if I need a strain for a beer that isn't right for one of those three. I haven't heard great things about Muntons. I've use Coopers. It wouldn't be my first choice, but, it works. It does produce a sort of "unique" flavor, as Yooper mentioned. I would try to find one of the other dry yeasts and only use it as a last resort.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
There's some debate over whether there is a commercially available dry lager yeast that is really good & clean. That and you don't really see dry kolsch yeast, or dry trappist yeast. wyeast and white labs are about variety as far as I'm concerned. For most ales, I'll go with dry. As far as Munton's is concerned, I agree. hate it. never again. But I've had good luck with other dry yeasts, especially nottingham. Oh, and add me to the list of people who say it's wise to have some dry yeast in the fridge just in case. packet of notty, packet of s-05, maybe some ec-1118 for stuck ferments. Anything else you might use. Just in case you wind up on brew day with a dead liquid yeast.
Coopers and Muntons yeast packs are great when tossed into the wort boil. The good yeast will eat their remains and give you great beer. I only use liquid yeast for my beers (Wyeast so far but might use wome White Labs soonish). I use Lalvin strains for my meads. I select the yeast strain but what I want and what it will give me. Easily figured out with Wyeast strains. I do make starters for my beers but not my meads. It really helps to have at least close to the yeast cell count needed for the batch OG and size.
