-------------------- Herbert was the son of Herbert I of Vermandois.[1] He was apparently well aware of his descent from Charlemagne.[2] Herbert inherited the domain of his father and in 907, added to it the Abbey of St. Medard, Soissons. He took the position of Lay abbot entitling him to the income of those estates.[1] His marriage with a daughter of king Robert I of France brought him the County of Meaux.[3]
In 922, when Seulf became Archbishop of Rheims, in an effort to appease Herbert II Seulf solemnly promised him he could nominate his successor.[4] In 923, Count Herbert took the bold step of imprisoning King Charles III, who died still a captive in 929.[a][3] Then, on the death of Seulf in 925, with the help of King Rudolph, he acquired for his second son Hugh (then five years old) the archbishopric of Rheims.[5] Herbert took the additional step of sending emissaries to Rome to Pope John X to gain his approval, which that pope gave in 926.[4] On his election young Hugh was sent to Auxerre to study.[2]
In 926, on the death of Count Roger of Laon, Herbert demanded this countship for Eudes, his eldest son.[6] He took the town in defiance of King Rudolph leading to a clash between the two in 927.[2] Using the threat of releasing King Charles III, who he held captive, Herbert managed to hold the city for four more years.[2] But after the death of Charles in 929, Rudolph again attacked Laon in 931 successfully defeating Herbert.[2] The same year the king entered Rheims and defeated archbishop Hugh, the son of Herbert.[7] Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims.[7] Herbert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon, Château-Thierry, and Soissons.[8] The intervention of his ally, Henry the Fowler, allowed him to restore his domains (except Rheims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Rudolph.
Later Herbert allied with Hugh the Great and William Longsword, duke of Normandy against King Louis IV, who allocated the County of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Herbert and Hugh the Great took back Rheims and captured Artaud.[9] Hugh, the son of Herbert, was restored as archbishop.[9] Again the mediation of the German King Otto I in Visé, near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalization of the situation.
Death and legacy[edit]
Herbert II died on 23 February 943 at Saint-Quentin, Aisne (the capital of the county of Vermandois).[1] His vast estates and territories were divided among his sons.[10] Vermandois and Amiens went to the two elder sons while Robert and Herbert, the younger sons, were given the valuable holdings scattered throughout Champagne.[10] On Robert's death his brother's son Herbert III inherited them all. Herbert III's only son Stephen died childless in 1019–20 thus ending the male line of Herbert II.[10]
Herbert married Adele, daughter of Robert I of France.[11] Together they had the following children: Eudes of Vermandois, Count of Amiens and of Vienne, (c. 910–946)[1] Adalbert I, Count of Vermandois (c. 915–987), married Gerberge of Lorraine[1] Adela of Vermandois (910–960), married 934 Count Arnulf I of Flanders[1] Herbert 'the Old' (c. 910–980), Count of Omois, Meaux and Troyes, and abbot of St. Medard, Soissons, married 951 Eadgifu of Wessex daughter of Edward the Elder King of England and widow of Charles III King of France.[b][1] Robert of Vermandois, Count of Meaux and Châlons († 967)[1] Luitgarde of Vermandois (c. 915-20–978), married 940 William I, Duke of Normandy;[1] married secondly, c. 943–44, Theobald I of Blois[c][12] Their son was Odo I, Count of Blois.[10] Hugh of Vermandois (920–962), Archbishop of Reims

[edit] Life
He inherited the domain of his father and in 907, added to it the Saint de Soissons abbey. His marriage with Adela of France (also known as Liégarde) brought him the County of Meaux. In 918, he was also named Count of Mézerais and of the Véxin. With his cousin Bernard, Count of Beauvais and Senlis, he constituted a powerful group in the west of France, to the north and east of Paris. In 923, he imprisoned King Charles III in Chateau-Thierry, then in Péronne.
In 922, the Archbishop of Rheims, Seulf, called on Herbert II to reduce some of his vassals who were in rebellion against him. On the death of Seulf, in 925, with the help of King Rudolph, he acquired for his second son Hugh (then five years old) the archbishopric of Rheims, which had a large inheritance in France and Germany. In 926, on the death of Count Roger of Laon, Herbert demanded this County for Eudes, his eldest son. He settled there, initially against the will of King Rudolph and constructed a fortress there. Rudolph yielded to pressure to free king Charles III, whom Herbert still held in prison. In 930, Herbert took the castle of Vitry in Perthois at the expense of Boso, the brother of King Rudolph. Rudolph united his army with the army of Hugh, marquis of Neustria, and in 931, they entered Rheims and defeated Hugh, the son of Herbert. Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims. Herbert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon, Chateau-Thierry, and Soissons. The intervention of his ally, Henry the Fowler, allowed him to restore his domains (except Rheims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Rudolph.
Later Herbert allied with Hugh the Great and William Longsword, duke of Normandy against King Louis IV, who allocated the County of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Herbert and Hugh the Great took back Rheims and captured Artaud. Hugh, the son of Herbert, was restored as archbishop. Again the mediation of the German King Otto I in Visé, near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalization of the situation.
[edit] Death and legacy
Herbert II died on 23 February 943 without having succeeded in building the principality of which he dreamed. His succession was reconciled by Hugh the Great, maternal uncle of his children. It took place in 946 and led to an equitable distribution between the sons of Herbert II: Herbert III, Robert, Albert, and Hugh (his other son Eudes died before 946). As for his girls, Adela was married to Arnulf I, count of Flanders, Luitgarde (widow of William Longsword) was married to Theobald I, count of Blois, the first lieutenant of Hugh. She brought to Theobald Provins and domains in the Mézerais.
[edit] Family
He was first married to Adela, and then to Hildebrante of France (895-931), daughter of Robert I of France.
With Adela, he had 7 children:
* Adele of Vermandois (910-960), married 934 Count Arnulf I of Flanders, also a descendant of Charlemagne
* Eudes of Vermandois, Count of Amiens and of Vienne, (910-946)
* Herbert "the Elder", Count of Meaux and of Troyes (-993)
* Robert of Vermandois, Count of Meaux and Chalons (-968)
* Adalbert I, Count of Vermandois (915-987), married Gerberga of Lorraine, also a descendant of Charlemagne
* Luitgarde of Vermandois (ca 920-978), married 943 Theobald I of Blois
* Hugh of Vermandois (died 962), Archbishop of Reims

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 [The LORD continued,] "Whenever someone steals a bull or a sheep and butchers it or sells it, he must make up for the loss with five head of cattle to replace the bull or four sheep to replace the sheep. | 1 "If a man steals an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it, he must pay back five head of cattle for the ox and four sheep for the sheep. |
2 "If anyone catches a thief breaking in and hits him so that he dies, he is not guilty of murder. | 2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; |
3 But if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of murder. "A thief must make up for what he has stolen. If he is unable to do so, he must be sold [as a slave] to pay for what he stole. | 3 but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed. "A thief must certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold to pay for his theft. |
4 But if the stolen animal is found alive in his possession, whether it's a bull, donkey, or a sheep, he must make up for the loss with double the amount. | 4 "If the stolen animal is found alive in his possession--whether ox or donkey or sheep--he must pay back double. |
5 "Whenever someone lets his livestock graze in a field or a vineyard, and they stray and graze in another person's field, he must make up for what the damaged field was expected to produce. But if he lets them ruin the whole field with their grazing, he must make up from his own field for the loss with the best from his field and vineyard. | 5 "If a man grazes his livestock in a field or vineyard and lets them stray and they graze in another man's field, he must make restitution from the best of his own field or vineyard. |
6 "Whenever a fire starts and spreads into the underbrush so that it burns up stacked or standing grain or ruins a field, the person who started the fire must make up for the loss. | 6 "If a fire breaks out and spreads into thornbushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution. |

Reviews for Vangard 469 Long Sleeve baselayer
kieran morris from United Kingdom on Oct 18, 2014
This garment fits all the boxes,and at a reasonable price.
Chris from Leeds on Nov 25, 2013
As usual great Vanillabikes service and delivered within 2 days. Comfortable stretchy material so don't order on the big side! Useful long back and extremely welcome on colder days. Great value, I'll be ordering a second.
Dave from Glasgow on Nov 18, 2013
Just got mine in the mail, took just two days to arrive. Very similar to a Craft long-sleeve baselayer I bought a year ago, but less expensive. Nice stretchy fabric that expands by up to 300% and a mock turtle neck. The neck is just a wee bit tight but I am sure I will get used to that. So good I plan to order another, plus two more as Christmas presents!
Brian G from Nether Kellet on Dec 19, 2012
Some years ago a Helly Hansen vest was the standard for all outdoor activities. Helly have upgraded/downgraded? their recent baselayers and the old Lifa is no more. Fortunately the Vangard 469 .is a worthy subsitute

The Blizzard of 2013 hit parts of Long Island hard, but 50 miles to the west in southern Queens, the foot or so of the white stuff was nowhere near the worst Mother Nature had ever dealt to residents. The moderate storm led to reactions ranging from minor annoyance to fun — either way, a sight of relief in a community close to ground zero from Hurricane Sandy.

Back to School Shopping Complete!! (August Budget Challenge Update)
I'm happy to say that we have completed our back-to-school shopping. What a blast we had, too!
I am monitoring our spending very closely this month for the August Budget Challenge, and doing everything I can think of to save.
We took advantage of the Savers Club Member clearance day….50% off all summer clothing, and 50% off all silver tagged items. Being a thrift store, Savers is already nice and cheap – to add an additional 50% discount makes me one happy lady!
Here's how we did (these are the totals for ALL of our school/work shopping, not just this last trip):
ALL of my purchases (thrift stores and yard sales) included 3 pairs of pants, 14 tops, 1 skirt, 1 belt, and 2 bras. My entire total: $42.19.
My husband in total purchased 6 shirts, 1 (new with tag) pair of pants, and 2 shoes. His entire total: $12.82.
Munchkin got 2 pairs of shorts, 4 pairs of pants, 9 tops, 4 pairs of shoes/boots, 1 bed sheet, 1 hair straightener, 4 bottles of lotion, a pack of underwear and socks, 2 pairs earrings, 3 bras, 2 dresses, 1 coat, a backpack, and school accessories (pencils, erasers, folders, notebooks, crayons, etc). She also went shopping with her grandma and bought 1 pair of shoes, 2 shirts, a pack of underwear and 1 pair of pants. Her entire total is: $62.48.
Buddy Boy got 4 pairs of pants/shorts, 11 tops, 2 pairs of shoes, 1 backpack, 1 robe, 1 coat, 1 bed sheet, and 1 nightshirt. He also went shopping with his grandma and bought 2 pairs pants, 2 shirts and a pack of underwear. His total: $45.92.
We also used some of this budgeted money to buy other things at the yard sales: ribbon, Christmas decor, kitchen supplies, etc. We spent another $35 on those.
We originally budgeted $300 to go towards our back to school shopping. Our actual total ended up being $198.41. Gasp: We made it under budget!! YAY!
The $101 we did NOT spend that was budgeted is being divided between groceries for next month and our emergency fund. September is usually the month that money is the most tight, as it is the 3rd and final month that we are living on just my husband's income (I work at a school and don't get paid in the summer). It'll be nice to have a head start on the grocery budget.
Are you done with your back-to-school shopping already? Or do you wait until the last minute like me?

Geography and location[edit]
This section includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but the sources of this section remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (April 2013) |
Al Baha City (BC) lies in the south-west of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia between Mecca and Aseer. It is the smallest of the kingdom's provinces (11,000 square km). It is surrounded by a number of cities, including Taif on the north, Beesha on the east, Abha on the south and the Red Sea coast city of Al Qunfuda on the west. This tourist city is situated in an area characterized by natural tree cover and agricultural plateaus. It consists of six towns, the most important of which are Beljarshy, Almandaq, and Almekhwah, in addition to the Baha city in the center of the province. The province comprises 31 administrative centers and has a population of 533,001.
The province is known for its beauty and has forests, wildlife areas, valleys and mountains that attract visitors from all parts of the kingdom and the Persian Gulf area. Some of these areas are the forests of Raghdan, Ghomsan, Fayk, and Aljabal, and many other historical and archeological sites. It contains more than 53 forests.
Al Baha is the homeland of the Ghamid and Zahran tribes and is divided geographically into three distinct parts: Sarah, which contains the high mountains characterized by temperate weather and rich plant cover due to relatively high annual rainfall, Tehama which is the lowland coastal area to the west of the Sarah characterized by very hot and humid weather and very little rainfall average, and the eastern hills characterized by an altitude of 1550 to 1900 meters above sea level with cool winters, hot summers and sparse plant cover. The largest city in the province, both in population and area, is Baljurashi (it was the first capital for the province), the second one is Almandaq. In Tehama, there are two major cities: Qilwah and Al-Mikhwah. The number of tribes are 18, branching from the main ones, Ghamid and Zahran. The province has 13 settled tribes (working in trades and agriculture) and 5 nomadic tribes.

The climate in Al Baha is greatly affected by its varying geographic features. Generally speaking, the climate in Al-Baha is mild with temperatures ranging between 12–23 degrees Celsius. Due to its location at 2500 meters above sea level, Al Baha's climate is moderate in summer and cold in winter. The area attracts visitors looking for a moderate climate and pristine, scenic views.
In the Tehama area of the province, which is down on the coast, the climate is hot in the summer and warm in the winter. Humidity ranges from 52%–67%.
While in the mountainous region, which is known as As-Sarah, the weather is cooler in summer and winter. Rainfall in the mountainous region lies in the range of 229–581 mm. The average throughout the whole region is 100–250 mm annually.

The Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia was once ruled by the Turks for over five hundred years. Post-World War 1, the village of El Zafir (قريه الظفير) had been the administrative centre of what was known then as Belad Ghamid, but with the establishment of Saudi Arabian government Ghamid and Zahran was administered as a unit in 1925, and the seat of local government transferred to Baljurashi ( بلجرشي ), a town situated fifteen miles south of el Zafir.
The tribes of Al Baha Ghamid and Zahran are the indigenous people of Al Baha. Tribes in the region trace their origin to the famous pre-Islamic state of Sheba (مملكه سبأ) whose rule extended to areas presently known as Syria and Lebanon. Historians also report that they established the famous state of Akoum, in Abyssinia. Prince Mishari bin Saud is the governor of the province since August 28, 2010.
Historic attractions[edit]
Al Baha is also known for their traditional towers, called in Arabic "qasaba". "Apparently unique to Asir architecture are the qasaba towers. Controversy surrounds their function—some argue that they were built as lookouts, and others that they were keeps, or even granaries. Perhaps it is a combination, although the right position of a watchtower, on a hill top, is the wrong place for a keep or granary."[1]
Dhee Ayn Village (Arabic: قرية ذي عين) is situated at about 24 km. southwest of al-Baha across 'Aqabat al-Baha, also known as Aqbat King Fahad. The famous village of Dhi Ain is sometimes known as "marble village" as it is built on a small marble mountain. The grove of palm trees is lush due to a small stream nearby. The villagers say that the marble village glows at sunset. It also has a steep escarpment road, running into and out of tunnels on the way up and down. Dhi 'Ain was famous for its fruits and banana plantations which still grow there. The village dates back about 400 years, and it witnessed the battles between the Ottoman Turks and its inhabitants.
"Even the road that leads to the (Dhee Ayn) village is impressive, and several historical stone and slate towers dot the way. Al-Bahah Region is known as the region of 1001 towers, once built to protect villages, roads and plantations from rivalling tribes. Today, these towers are abandoned, and many of them are partially or completely in ruins."[2]
"Al-Baha region is rich in ancient mining sites. The sites of Khayal al Masna' and al-Aqiq were major gold mining areas; while the village of Kuna[disambiguation needed], where over one hundred building structures are located date back to South Arabian Civilization."[3]
The souq or traditional market in Al Baha has been studied to see how the market performs in maintaining order and social customs. "Weekly markets in Al-Baha, which is located in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia, was not only performing economic functions, but also, social functions. Those markets continued to perform these functions until around 1975 when the modern markets began to take over, and other social institutions like schools, mail, and mass media began to do the social functions of those weekly markets. This study is trying to explain the social functions of weekly markets in Al-Baha like uniting the tribes, using the market as a tool of punishment, entertainment, mail and religious education."[4]
Al-Baha Domestic Airport is located 45 km to the east of Al Baha City Center and was founded in the Year 1982
"Al-Baha National Airport receives flights from all cities of the Kingdom and is located in Aqiq Province 45km from Al-Baha city itself."[5]
Hospitals and medical care[edit]
* King Fahd Hospital (مستشفى الملك فهد) "Initially, the hospital has been operated by one of the International specialist companies in directing and operating hospitals, but since 1421 it was self operated under the supervision of MOH."[6]
The hospital is also a training hospital in the main health sciences, as stated in 2012: "King Fahad Hospital, Al-Baha is already accredited by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties as training center for postgraduate programs of Saudi Board / Arab Board in the 4 main departments, namely: Pediatrics, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. These programs are completely accredited in the hospital and no need for the candidate to move into any other hospital for complete his training requirements. The Urology department is processing accreditation process that may be finalized by the next academic year."[7]
As a training hospital, the Medical Library, established in 1982, in the King Fahd Hospital is one of the largest libraries in the Province: "Health Sciences Library and Information Center represents the core of the Academic Affairs services provided for all health care workers in Al-Baha region. it is located on the ground floor of the main hospital building in front of the human resources department and Employee Health Clinic. The library contains 1,250 hard copies of recent medical textbooks in all medical fields with plenty of full color medical atlases, dictionaries, and other materials for learning the English language with a section for Arabic books and publications of interest for administrative staff. The digital library includes 800 digital books with audiovisual materials for teaching medical examination, heart and breath sounds and also materials for teaching the English language. This section includes digital version of video recordings for all scientific events carried out in the hospital. Also, digital archives are available for some of the most prestigious medical journals for the last few years."[8]

- Baljurashi Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى بلجرشي)
- Al-Mandag General Hospital (Arabic: مستشفى المندق العام)
- Shamekh Poly Clinic
Traditional tribal cemeteries[edit]
"The southern tribal hinterland of Baha—home to especially the Al-Ghamdi and Al-Zahrani tribes—has been renowned for centuries for their tribal cemeteries that are now slowly vanishing, according to Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper... One old villager explained how tribal cemeteries came about. "People used to die in large numbers and very rapidly one after the other because of diseases. So the villagers would dig graves close by burying members of the same family in one area. That was how the family and tribal burial grounds came about," he said. The old man continued, "If the family ran out of space, they would open old graves where family members had been buried before and add more people to them. This process is known as khashf." During famines and outbreaks of epidemics huge numbers of people would die and many tribes faced difficulties in digging new graves because of the difficult weather. Elderly people remember that in olden times, the winter used to stretch for more than six months and would be accompanied with lots of rain and fog making movement difficult. But due to tribal rivalries many families would guard their cemeteries and put restrictions on who got buried in them. Across Baha burial grounds are constructed in different ways. Some cemeteries consist of underground vaults or concrete burial chambers with the capacity of holding a large number of bodies at a time. Such vaults include windows for people to peer through and are usually decorated ornately with writings, drawings and patterns. Muhammad Saleh, a local resident, said, "One of the things that is so iconic about many of these graves is the fact that many of them are not directed toward the Kaaba. This tells us that some of these graves are from the pre-Islamic era. In Islam the face of a dead person should be toward the Kaaba.""[9]
* Academic Affairs & Health Training established in 2006
- Al-Baha University . established in 2006
- The Community College belongs to Umm Al Qura University of Mecca.
All of the Saudi citizens of Al Baha are Sunni Muslim, who in the past practiced Shafi`i, a school of fiqh that was dominant in Hejaz. The largest mosque in Al-Baha is King Fahad Mosque (Arabic: جامع الملك فهد ).
The city is known for its healthy and nutritious traditional meals brought by local farming such as Dagabees (Arabic: دغابيس), Aseeda (Arabic : عصيده), Areeka (Arabic عريكه) and the Southern wheat bread with Butter oil (Arabic خبز البر بالسمن ).
"The Province is famous for its production of honey, in addition to its agricultural production of vegetables, grain, fruit, and dates. The region also grows grapes, grapefruits, lemons, oranges, pomegranates and dates."[10]
Arabic dialect[edit]
It is claimed by some Arab authors that the dialect of Belad Ghamid and Zahran (Now known as Al Baha province in Saudi Arabia) is nearest to classical Arabic. Ahmed Abdul Ghafur Attar (Arabic : احمد عبدالغفور عطار ) has said in an article* that the language of the Hejaz (Arabic لهجات الحجاز), especially that which is spoken in Belad Ghamdi and Zahran is close to the Classical Language.
Faisal Ghori (Arabic فيصل غوري), a famous scholar of Arabic Literature wrote in his book Qabayil Al- Hejaz (Arabic قبائل الحجاز) The Quranic Arabic upon which our grammar is based on does not exist in any tribe. The only thing we can say is that there are some tribes whose language is much closer to classical language . The tribes of Belad Ghamid and Zahran are a good example of this .
Al Baha literary club[edit]
The Al Baha literary club is concerned with intellectual meetings, poems, novels and book distribution. It hosts intellectuals from all regions of Saudi Arabia. Founded in 2009, their website can be accessed at http://www.adbialbaha.com/index.php.

Natural resources[edit]
Al Baha region is rich in ancient mining sites. The sites of Khayal al Masna (Arabic : خيال المنسا ) and al-Aqiq ( Arabic : العقيق ) were major gold mining areas; while the village of Kuna, where over one hundred building structures are located, dates back to South Arabian civilization.
Visitors from inside the kingdom and nearby countries are particularly attracted to the area by its more than 53 forests, which include the Raghdan forest, which covers an area of 600,000 square meters just five kilometers from Al Baha city. Iit has been provided with children's playgrounds and other amenities. The Amdan forest is 55 kilometers to the north of Al Baha. It abounds in olive trees, Ara'r shrubs and other natural vegetation.

.- During his trip today to the town where St. Padre Pio lived and ministered, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass, visited a house dedicated to caring for the suffering and the tomb of the famous Italian saint. At the tomb of Padre Pio, the Pope recalled the devotion that the Capuchin saint, canonized in 2002, had to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
"All his life," the Pope said, "his apostolate took place under the maternal gaze of the Blessed Virgin and by the power of her intercession. Even the House for the Relief of Suffering he considered to be the work of Mary, 'Health of the sick.'"
"To the intercession of Our Lady and St. Pio of Pietrelcina, " he continued, "I would like to entrust the Special Year for Priests, which I opened last Friday on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. May it be a privileged opportunity to highlight the value of the mission and holiness of priests, to serve the Church and humanity in the third millennium!"
The Holy Father also briefly recalled the U.N.'s World Day for Refugees, held yesterday.
"There are many people who seek refuge in other countries fleeing from situations of war, persecution and natural disasters, and hosting them poses many difficulties, but is nevertheless necessary," Benedict XVI stated.
"God grant that, with the commitment of everyone, we do as much as possible to remove the causes of such a sad phenomenon."

Sierra Club Mission Statement The Sierra Club's members are more than 750,000 of your friends and neighbors. Inspired by nature, we work together to protect our communities and the planet. The club is America's oldest, largest, and most influential grassroots environmental organization. Our Mission Statement 1. Explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth. 2. Practice and promote the responsible use of the earth's ecosystems and resources. 3. Educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment. 4. Use all lawful means to carry out these objectives. San Gabriel Mountains Protected On October 10, President Obama designated some 350,000 acres of the Angeles National Forest in Southern California as the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, the 13th national monument of his presidency. The monument designation follows a 14-year campaign by San Gabriel Mountains Forever, a coalition of environmental and community groups, including the Wilderness Society, the Sierra Club and Friends of the River. Under a national monument designation, the Forest Service would give priority to managing the safety of visitors, protecting natural resources and installing improvements, including new parking areas, restrooms, signs, educational kiosks and trails. The Conservation of the Pebble Plains of Big Bear Since 2009, the Big Bear Group has been heavily involved with the Big Bear Valley Education Trust, the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust, USFS, the Inland Empire Resource Conservation District, and others to protect the Sawmill and Villa Grove Pebble Plains. Recently, the San Bernardino Mountains Land Trust has taken ownership of the 163 acers High Timber Ranch containing the Villa Grove Pebble Plain and will help serve as a buffer to protect the pristine Sawmill Pebble Plain which exists on the U.S. Forest Service Property. About 20,000 years ago, this area was covered by a large lake. As the Ice Age diminished and the climate warmed the lake dried leaving a deep clay deposit in the Big Bear and Holcomb Valley areas. Over time, tiny plants came to the surface. They are called pebble plains due to the layer of quartzite pebbles that are pushed to the surface by frost heave during the winter. The diversity of the pebble plain life has been compared to that of the coral reef and may contain as many as 20 unique species in a square meter. Presently, these tiny one-of-a-kind plants are only found in the Big Bear Valley has been reduced to less than ten-percent of what once existed. In the foreseeable future, it is hoped that a Wildland Park will be established allowing managed public access to the pebble plain. Ed Wallace Conservation Chair The Skyline Trail is officially opened. On September 27, 2014 the ribbon cutting ceremony was performed. "We completed it in two-years" says Driz Cook, chair of the Big Bear Valley Trails Foundation. The trail is more than 15 miles long stretching from the junction of 2N10 and 2N06 southwest of Bear Mountain Resorts to the 2N10 south of Cedar Lake. The trail can be used by mountain bikers, runners, and hikers. The Skyline Trail conception and construction was a collaborative effort by the Forest Service and the Trails Foundation. The Sierra Club of Big Bear has member representation on the Trails Foundation Committee and participated in the trail design and construction.

Truth, Sojourner
Truth, Sojourner
biographical name(born c. 1797, Ulster county, N.Y., U.S.died Nov. 26, 1883, Battle Creek, Mich.) U.S. evangelist and social reformer. The daughter of slaves, she spent her childhood as an abused chattel of several masters. After being freed in about 1827, she worked as a domestic in New York City (1829–43) and began preaching on street corners with the evangelical missionary Elijah Pierson. Adopting the name Sojourner Truth, she left New York to obey a call to travel and preach. Adding abolitionism and women's rights to her religious messages, she traveled in the Midwest, where her magnetism drew large crowds. At the start of the American Civil War she gathered supplies for black volunteer regiments. In 1864 she went to Washington, D.C., where she helped integrate streetcars and was received at the White House by Pres. Abraham Lincoln. After the war she worked for the freedmen's relief organization and encouraged migration to Kansas and Missouri.

On my muzzle detent pin, instead of lying straight forward it comes out at a downward angle so when I'm using my 74 muzzle brake the angle of the pin makes it angle slightly downward. Can I adjust it or is this a common thing for which it has no solution? When I do thread on my muzzle brake, I don't have movement left to secure it fully down into the detent notch. So it has room left in between and the detent's angle slightly pushes down. Thanks

It sounds like the hole it sits in is a little too large, causing the detent pin to angle downward. Here is a picture I took to show what parts look like. If your muzzle brake still has thread left after getting it where you want it you could try putting a shim washer behind it just to get it tight on the barrel.http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/cid=0/k=peel+washer/t=P/ksubmit=y/Products/All/search=peel_washer
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.George S. Patton
Yes you will need a short punch smaller than the diameter of the cross pin with a flat end. This pin will be to just get the cross pin moving, then go with a longer punch to push it the rest of the way out. Some of these can be tight but it helps to set it on something solid while trying to punch it out

Saturday, December 18
United Center
Attendance: 21,760
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Blake Griffin knocked down the deciding free throw with 42.5 seconds remaining and the Los Angeles Clippers held on for a 100-99 victory over the Chicago Bulls at United Center.
Chicago scored six straight points to end the game, but Derrick Rose made only 1-of-2 free throws with 0.8 seconds remaining, ending the comeback.
Griffin, the early favorite to win Rookie of the Year, earned his 15th straight double-double with 29 points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers, who won their second road game in as many nights.
Baron Davis scored 16 and dished out seven assists and Eric Gordon supplied 15 points for Los Angeles, who gave head coach Vinny Del Negro a win in his return to Chicago.
"All the wins are great," stated Del Negro. "Obviously this one is a little bit more special just because it's Chicago. The credit goes to our players. It's a back-to-back game for us, I thought they had great effort."
Rose had a game-high 34 points with eight assists and Carlos Boozer scored 25, but the Bulls had their seven-game winning streak snapped.
Davis' driving layup with 1:08 remaining gave the Clippers a 99-91 advantage, but Boozer's layup cut the LA lead to six. Griffin was fouled at the other end and made 1-of-2 from the line with 42.5 seconds left for the final Clipper points.
Rose drove for a layup, was fouled and converted the three-point play at 38.3 to start a 6-0 run and make it a two-possession game. The Clippers worked the ball to midcourt, but Chicago's Luol Deng forced a steal that bounced off Gordon's foot, regaining possession for the Bulls.
On the next possession, Rose was driving to the basket, but dished to Boozer at the last second for a short layup with 31.2 seconds remaining to make it a two-point game.
After LA missed a layup, Rose charged into the lane on the right side and was fouled attempting a floating layup with 0.8 seconds left. After making the first free throw, Rose bounced the second one off the front iron to end the comeback attempt one point short.
"I felt it," stated Rose regarding the last free throw. "I felt it come a little bit short. I have to get past this as a player. I have to know if I am put in that situation I can knock them down."
The first quarter was a battle of the forwards as Boozer and Griffin paced their respective teams in scoring -- Boozer had 11, Griffin 10 -- and the Bulls took a 31-28 lead into the second. Rasual Butler scored 11 points off the bench in the second quarter to lead the Clippers to a 61-53 advantage at the half.
The third quarter was all about Rose, who scored 15 of Chicago's 23 points in the 12 minutes. However, the Bulls were only able to take a point off the Clippers' advantage, pulling within 83-76 heading into the final stanza.

Summary: Published on the eve of the third millennium, this is the first major new history atlas produced in the English language for more than 20 years. Its timing is no coincidence, for never has a truly international history been more needed. As the gathering pace of "globalization" demands a greater awareness of "whole world" history than ever before, a wealth of courses in world history are being taught in schools and colleges across the English-speak ...show moreing world. And an explosion of new research on history beyond the Western world has left existing history atlases and reference books increasingly out of date.
Oxford's Atlas of World History is the result of more than three years' intensive work by a specialized team of scholars, editors, and cartographers. It presents the story of humanity in its physical setting, from the evolution of Homo sapiens through the last year of the 20th century. Truly international in its approach, the atlas incorporates the latest research on Asian, African, and Latin American history, as well as the traditional core of European and North American events.
The atlas is divided into six parts. The first five deal with the eras studied by world historians today: The Ancient World, The Medieval World, The Early Modern World, The Age of Revolutions, and The Twentieth Century. Each part opens with an introduction highlighting the main themes of the period, followed by individual spreads covering specific regions and events with maps, text, illustrations, and captions.
The sixth and final part is a reference section containing a wealth of additional information. The Timecharts list events by region from pre-history to the present day, and the gazetteer of Events, People, and Places provides more than 600 concise encyclopedic entries. A comprehensive index of more than 8,000 entries includes numerous alternative name forms used over the centuries. The atlas closes with a Bibliography that provides a book list for suggested further reading.
The atlas contains some 450 specially created color maps illustrating the major themes and events of world history, 100 photographs, 60 diagrams, and 200,000 words of explanatory text. Uniquely for such an atlas, the entire work is thoroughly cross-referenced, allowing the reader to move backwards and forwards in time or across the world from region to region, following themes or lines of inquiry both in the maps and the gazetteer. ...show less

Rex Ray. The Promenade Space on the second floor of MCA Denver is both a passageway and an exhibition hall. Given its limited size and unconventional plan — the main wall runs diagonally to the windows opposite it — the Promenade has been used exclusively for single installations. The latest example is an untitled mural by San Francisco artist Rex Ray, who used to live in Colorado. Ray has a national reputation based not just on his fine art, but as a designer of everything from books to coffee mugs. Ray created the mural specifically for this show and specially designed the fabulous wallpaper that surrounds it. The mural is signature Ray, with shapes that rise from the base in the manner of a still-life or landscape. The shapes have been made from cut-outs of painted papers that have been laid against a stunning blue ground, and were inspired by organic forms, or at least abstractions of them, as seen in mid-century modern design. The wallpaper has a spare, all-over pattern on a white ground, complementing the mural without competing with it. Through January 31 at MCA Denver, 1485 Delgany Street, 303-298-7554, www.mcadenver.org.
Virginia Maitland. This show, officially dubbed Virginia Maitland: A Mirror of Abstraction; Paintings Across Time, is an economical look at some recent pieces by the Boulder-based abstractionist, together with a single older piece that clearly anticipates what she is doing now. The early work, "Androgynous Stain," from 1974, is fabulous, with veils of strong color in jewel-like tones colliding with each other in the center. Interestingly, Maitland rolled up this painting thirty years ago, and it was just pulled out of its tube and re-stretched last month. It hasn't aged a bit during the intervening decades and still looks bright and fresh. While it was hidden, Maitland experimented widely with her paintings — even incorporating photocopied images in some. But in the last year or two, she's returned to her colorist roots as exemplified by nearly a dozen recent works in this show, most from 2009. Maitland moved to Colorado from the East Coast in 1970, and she's said that it was the West's expansive vistas that led her to embrace the color-field abstraction that's since become her signature. Through May 30 at Sandra Phillips Gallery, 744 Santa Fe Drive, 303-573-5969, www.thesandraphillipsgallery.com.

Nagoya City has ambitious plans to put educationat the heart of its botanic garden and zoo.
Nagoya City, Japan, has unveiled plans to re-develop the city's botanic garden and zoo. Environmental education is at the heart of this project which will initially involve the creation of a large glasshouse to showcase how animals and plants interact and exist together in a range of habitats.
The approach will later be extended outside the glasshouse to other sections of the garden and zoo where more naturalistic habitats will be created. Construction will take two years and the aim is to open the glasshouse to the public in 2012. This ambitious 10 year project will involve a total redevelopment of the area including the secondary woodlands to the north of the botanic garden and zoo.

Drake's third album, Nothing Was the Same, hits stores September 24. We've already heard a few singles, scratched our heads at the WTF cover art and watched the album's trailer, featuring a ridiculous amount of expensive cars, in a haze of jealousy.
While we sit back and wait for the final piece of the puzzle—the actual album—let's dissect what we know so far about Nothing Was the Same.
1. Come on, Get Happy If you were a fan of Drake's melancholy flow on Take Care, the new album might not be for you. It sounds like Drake found a little bit of happiness since he released his second album in 2011, and we can all thank Los Angeles for that.
Drake told Billboard in early 2012, "Now I'm in a very, very, very, very different place than I've ever been. Really focused on myself, really focused on my health, my body, my mind, really wanting to be the best I can possibly be... I'm in a different mindset now that I'm very proud of..." He added, "I recently made the move to L.A. There's a new atmosphere. I'm getting to know new people... Anybody knows that when it's new, that's when I thrive."
We heard a little taste of Drizzy's new "glass half-full" attitude on the second Nothing Was the Same single, "Hold On, We're Going Home." Older Drake fans were a little confused—the emo Drake they once knew and loved ditched the frowns in favor of a lighthearted, '80s synth throwback.

Red House Reader Review
Libby Scott
What a fabulous idea, a modern retelling of the Fairytale sleeping beauty. Kitties haircuts are the talk of the town and she is very popular with all your favourite Fairytale characters from red riding hood, Alice in wonderland and all the fairies from sleeping beauty. So sleeping beauty is helped by seven god fairies, a rather hip, hairtastic, hairdresser and a gardener designer who happens to be a prince. This book is a completely hit with both my daughters and their mum. It's amusing, entertaining, enchanting beautifully written and illustrated and I can't wait to read the other books in the collection including Cinderella and Repunzel. Libby loved the textured, glittered pages and the amount of detail in the illustrations had her pointing out lots of different things and characters on each page. This book is perfect, they have taken a classic Fairytale and created an upbeat, humorous tale with a modern twist. The text and illustrations are gorgeous and i just love, love,love it!!! I will be getting all of the books in this range, if you haven't read this book you must!

Two men wearing wigs and carrying handguns fled with an undisclosed amount of cash after robbing a Circle K convenience store, 7602 E. McKellips, in south Scottsdale late Tuesday.
The two men, who were described as in their 20s, entered the store about 11:30 p.m. and demanded cash from the register, according to police.
As the clerk complied with the robbers' demands, two customers, a man and a woman who were at the front counter, sat on the floor while the robbers took the store's money. The gunmen then left the store and headed north, police said.
The victims gave differing accounts of the type of gun one of the robbers had, because one appeared to have a shotgun, according to police.
Police were unable to find either man, one of whom was wearing a red sweatshirt.
