JOSH STEPHENSON/Durango Herald
An elfin woman dressed in a knit cap, white scarf and jeans two sizes too big seems an unlikely champion to take on the enormity of the problems plaguing the national Farm Bill.
But this hasn�t occurred to her.
Linda Illsley fairly hums as she makes breakfast and calls to customers through the open window of her small, unprepossessing restaurant. Pictures of cows grazing and farm workers smiling happily in the fields adorn the tops of her tables and walls, next to the day�s specials.
Two years ago, Illsley transformed her Durango business, Linda�s Local Food Caf�, into a completely organic restaurant. She made the move to insure she was serving customers healthy homegrown food without fear of it being genetically modified, irradiated or nutritionally compromised.
Yet, it has taken this long to find and nurture local and regional producers to keep her kitchen stocked with the organic produce and meat she uses in her dishes. Time and again, farmers she worked with simply up and quit. They couldn�t make it financially farming on small acreage using organic practices.
That�s when Illsley decided to take on the Farm Bill, which she sees as the root of nationwide problems from the pollution of farmland to obesity in children. She contends American taxpayers are footing the bill for subsidies to giant agribusinesses that use toxins to fertilize crops, which in turn causes illness in humans and animals and ruins the soil.
�It�s making us sick and compromising our future,� she said. �We�re destroying our soil, sucking up our water and devastating family farms.�
For the record, the Farm Bill (or the Food, Conservation and Energy Act) was created after the Great Depression to boost farms to feed the starving. Its initial focus was to help farmers produce staple grains to feed needy Americans, but it has morphed into one of the largest pieces of legislation in Congress, including the original commodity subsidies, food stamp programs, crop insurance and price supports. It�s so big, few members of Congress understand its full scope, much less the average American.
Illsley is enlisting the help of Durango�s health-care community to change the behemoth legislation, asking naturopaths to speak at informal lectures about the harmful side effects of high-sugar, high-gluten, high-transfat processed foods. She�s also trying to create demand for organic and local produce through educating customers and bringing in national speakers such as Jeff Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology, an Iowa-based activist group that fights the production of genetically modified foods.
James Forleo, a local chiropractor who wrote the book Health is Simple, Illness is Complicated, joins Illsley in her concern over the Farm Bill and its effect on Americans� diet. He counsels his patients, many of whom have chronic gastrointestinal problems and inflammation of the joints, to establish a family garden and seek organic food.
�I tell them to stick with whole foods. You can trust nature. If it�s in a box or a bag, don�t eat it, it�s not good,� he said.
Forleo also questions the viability of spending billions each year to support giant farming businesses that produce food he believes makes people ill. If you factor in the cost of health care for Americans sickened by nutritionally detrimental products, he said, the cost of cheap food isn�t worth the consequences.
Those who monitor the business of Colorado agriculture don�t share that view. Ron Carlton, deputy commissioner of agriculture, dismisses the notion that large farms such as those that receive federal subsidies in Colorado to grow feed corn and wheat are putting out a bad product.
While he supports the call for more local farms growing what he deems �specialty products�such as fruit and vegetables, he says the state needs a variety of ways merely to provide enough food for a population that�s set to double in 40 years. He notes that farming in Colorado is a $40-billion business generating 170,000 jobs � and it would not be without large-scale farming.
However, he adds that as chairman of the state�s food system advisory council, he is looking for ways to help organic farming grow here, whether by providing farmers with direct access to grocery stores and markets or helping with irrigation and transportation. Farms of any size, he says, are eligible for grant money channeled to the state by the Farm Bill.
Perry Miller wishes some of that federal largess had been available to help him when he started raising and processing chickens according to USDA rules at his plant in Olathe, the closest plant to Durango.
It took too long for his investor to see a return on his money, and Miller was forced to fold up shop after just a year, unable to find another financier to keep him going until he reached profitability.
His vision had been to raise chickens on healthy feed in the open air and process them for the Four Corners, but at 40 acres and 200 chickens a week, Troyen Farms wasn�t big enough to make a go of it, and no government subsidies came his way.
�It would definitely be nice if there was money in there for the small guys,� he said of the Farm Bill. �It didn�t happen when I needed it.�
Still, he holds out hope that one day farmers like him will have the support of the nation�s taxpayers.
So does Illsley.
To see her quest through, she�s joined the Chef�s Collaborative, a national group working to change both the Farm Bill and the way food is produced in this country. After a recent convention in Seattle, she came back with new ideas for how to make a difference even in a small, remote place such as Durango.
On the local level, Illsley and other restaurateurs encourage nearby farmers to produce more organic vegetables and fruit with the promise they will buy the entire crop and pay a price that will keep them in business. Beyond producing healthy food, organic practices don�t harm the soil or pollute water.
She�s also looking for people to contribute $50 each to finance a lobbyist to push the agenda for small, local farms in Congress � �We have to fight fire with fire,� she said � and impose stricter regulations on agribusiness.
Illsley marvels that if just a quarter of Durangoans spent a quarter of our food budget on locally produced fresh food, we would create a $7 million industry of our own. Simply by transferring our food dollars from anonymous mega-farms to neighboring ones, she says, we can make an impact.
�The magnitude of fighting the Farm Bill is overwhelming,� she said.
Still, she�s unbowed.
�People say �We can�t do this.� I say, �Yes, we can.��

the single cut trem ones will be available to? that would change my gear plans
Thanks Bill, the MEQ is a killer axe, that I got a killer deal on.
'Course, the few thousand saved was way gone the month BEFORE the experience...
So, I don't feel so bad about the NOS ME1s (I still got my Faded Blue Jean (Artist P22))
I've got to take a pic of the MEQ to post
Damn, if I could have any finish on any guitar, my number one would always be Faded Blue Jean, preferably in satin. Incredible!
Has anyone received their NOS ME1 yet?
My guy said mine would be a couple weeks.........does that mean there is a chance it will have the modern pickups?
Secretary of Crackwood Addiction
Mine is shipping on Monday from my dealer, should be here on Wednesday. A slate stoptail that apparently was already in finished state, with RP pickups. Can't wait!
Two just showed up at Brian's Guitars today....SC FBJ and a DC Yellow Tiger.....man I wish I had some spare funds right now!!
"He's kind of like a bear at a campsite...you think he's cute and kind of want to hug him, but in the end you know he's dangerous and is going to stomp on your tent and eat all your food..." - martysnarf
Derek got one.....
The (NOS Modern) Eagle has landed...a slate stoptail from Willcutt's. Thanks Eric! (again)
This one was clearly "NOS" - it has a 2007 serial number (7 126###) and the original "eagle" tag indicates an original completion date of 11/12/07. (The new tag, also included, has a date of 11/9/12.) So this one's been in limbo for the last 5 years:

Love the pic, disappointed in the product I still love this little table, but even during construction I anticipated problems. The legs were rickety and while construction was easy, the screws went directly into veneer, making them unstable. I bought two of these tables. The screws "stripped" under normal construction on the first and a leg has already fallen off the second due to faulty "factory staples," further demonstrating the cheap materials.

Perfect recliner table This table was exactly what I wanted! I was looking for a slim table that would fit in-between my 2 recliners. Easy to put together. Looks amazing. My 2 children and husband noticed it right away and loved it. Can't beat the price! Easily compares to the small tables sold at one of the major furniture/recliner stores but for a fraction of the price.

Best End Tables for Each Room
Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home. When considering how to fit end tables in the rooms of your home, consider the room decor and whether or not the style of the end table matches your own. Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables.

Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books. A popular piece of furniture, the coffee table may be in the living room, den or recreation room, or on the patio: anywhere people using a sofa and chairs may gather and require space to place a beverage or plate. They may hold game boards for spirited competitions or the pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. A coffee table can be a focal point or a demure accessory. This coffee table fact sheet should help you learn more about this versatile piece of furniture.
Sofa Tables vs End Tables
Once you have a sofa, the next most important pieces of living room furniture are accent tables. But do you know which ones to use in your space? Sofa tables and end tables both offer distinct benefits for your home, but they're often lumped together. In order to choose the best furniture for your living room, you'll want to learn the differences between sofa tables and end tables.
Best Tables for Your Living Room
Taking the time to decide on the right kind of tables for your living room is time well spent. The right kinds of living room tables will enhance the appearance of your home, while the wrong kinds will detract from its decor. Trendy and stylish end tables create visual interest in your living room. Their versatile nature means that you can leave them bare or add charming accent pieces. Choosing the right coffee, sofa and end tables for your living room is a very important choice. Keep reading for more information on the best tables for your living room.
Best End Tables for a Cozy Living Room
Your living room can easily become cozy simply by grouping end tables, sofas, chairs, and other furniture together to create a more intimate setting that encourages conversation. The best end tables for a cozy living room often serve multiple purposes. They can be used simply as a place to set a warm drink on a winter evening or as a useful storage area where magazines, knitting, or other living room essentials are kept. Here are some things to consider when you're shopping for the perfect end tables.
How to Arrange End Tables
You can use end tables in so many more places than just the two ends of your sofa. Look around your home and see where you could use a decorative accent piece, a little bit of storage, or just a place to set something down. Then you can shop for the end tables that will fill all of those needs.
How to Choose a Coffee Table
Usually, a coffee table is the center point of a sitting area. This area might be a small, cozy place with a sofa and a couple of chairs, a medium-sized family room that needs to be inviting for kids and their friends or an elegant living room designed for entertaining guests. You'll want to keep several considerations in mind when choosing your coffee table, including size, material, style and function. Taking a little time to prepare for the purchase can help you find a great addition to your existing furniture.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.

Stacey WhitakerGAGood QualityThe dryer bonnet is excellent quality. I dont use it as much as I thought I would because of having to be "tethered" to the blow dryer. Maybe if I got a really long extension cord.posted Apr 19, 2007Link to this post
KSacramento, CaGreat ProductSuch a simple idea and it works so well! It pockets the air flow perfectly and my hair dries in half the time. I can even control the frizz vs. curl easier by using hair pins to hold a curl to my head while the bonnet keeps the air moving around it. The only downside[for me] is that it holds the heat[of the hairdryer] so efficiently, I have to continually switch the hairdryer to the "cool air" option; even the "warm" setting gets too hot. Best of all, I put the bonnet on, prop my hairdryer up and can do my make-up while my hair is drying.posted Mar 19, 2007Link to this post

Jill McintyreSan Francisco Bay Area, CAHairDry HairLong HairLove This Project! And I Tell All My Friends!I have long hair that "frizzes" in the rain and fog. I wrap my damp hair around my head and secure it with clips, and use this bonnet to dry my hair. (this technique closes the cuticles and eliminates the frizzes). I have been using the bonnet type hair dryers for over 30 years, and the plastic bonnets and its connections dont hold up at all. They crack and break and I end up having to use "mailing tape" or "duck tape" to secure it. Well, this is just the ticket!! I inserted the hose from my hair dryer into the long portion of this nylon bonnet! Its also fabulous for travel since I then only need to bring my hand held hair dryer or in most instances the hotels include hairdryers in the rooms! This bonnet is strong, durable and so soft around your head and face area...no scratchy plastic at all! I highly recommend it! Love it, Love it! Thank you so much!posted Jan 24, 2007Link to this post

AngelaExactly What I Was Looking ForI had seen a similar product in a catalog several months ago but couldnt find it any longer. After much searching I finally found it here at Folica.It works great for what I need it for. I basically set my style in Velcro rollers and use this to heat them, my hair is already dry. I dont think it would be a good product if you are trying to dry the hair as it does get very hot. And you have to be careful not to pinch the "hose". But for what I need it works great.posted Aug 15, 2006Link to this post
SqueakyJuneau, AlaskaVery Satisfied.For what I needed it was very good. I use it when doing a conditioning that requires heat. I found that it was important there be as airtight a seal of the cap next to the skin as possible, otherwise the heat was intolerable as it was seeking escape. But with some adjusting (as with anything) it worked just fine. I found placing a towel or terry cloth sweatband where the cap met my head worked great. Also, I had some minor difficulties figuring out how to not kink the hose... I am short, so I have short arms. I tried some of the suggestions I had read by others. What worked best for me was to shorten the hose. All I did was fold the elastic part back over itself (sort of like a sock) until it was about 18 inches long and then slid this over the blow dryer still using the elastic to hold it on. This worked perfect. I was able to prop my arm up and let it go. I also found that the heat was more even when I put the bonnet on backward. Meaning, hose in front. Yes, it was intensly warm, but with the blow dryer in front of me I was able to control the heat with the heat settings and speed settings. It may not be for everyone, but it works great for me.posted Jul 25, 2006Link to this post
LaniMelbourne, AustraliaLove It Love It Love ItI really love this product. Ive got short hair and hate having to use a conventional blow dryer (african kinky hair as well). So, this works well for me and gets my hair dry v.quickly and efficiently.posted Jul 5, 2006Link to this post

Dozier, Mauer carry Correia to first victory
Top two in Twins' lineup each go 3-for-4 with key home runs
MINNEAPOLIS -- After starting off the season with slow starts by their standards, Kevin Correia and Joe Mauer were able to pick it up in a big way against the Orioles on Saturday at Target Field.
Correia turned in his best outing of the season, while Mauer and Brian Dozier both homered to help lead the Twins to a 6-1 win over the Orioles to snap a four-game losing streak. Mauer delivered with a season-high four RBIs, keyed by a three-run homer to put the game out of reach in the seventh, while raising his batting average from .282 to .298 in the process.
Correia, who entered with a 7.33 ERA in five starts, gave up just one run on five hits over seven innings to pick up his second quality start and first win of the year. Correia got into a groove, as he retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced, including the final eight.
"It was a nice ballgame for us and it always starts with your starting pitcher," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Kevin gave us a good outing and it was a nice bounceback from him. He went deep into the game and used all his pitches. And we put some runs up there."
Correia said he leaned on Twins right-hander Ricky Nolasco for advice on how to attack Orioles hitters after Nolasco threw a complete game in Friday's 3-0 loss.
The lone run Correia allowed came in the second inning, when Adam Jones reached first on a wild pitch after striking out on a 1-2 curveball in the dirt. Jones promptly stole second base before scoring on a single from former Twins shortstop J.J. Hardy.
"Ricky did a great job last night, and I was able to talk to him and kind of get a game plan for what I needed to do to get deep into the game," Correia said. "And we were able to score some runs and kind of bust it open with that big inning."
Correia outpitched Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen, who went five innings, surrendering three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk. The Twins were able to tee off on his fastball, as he had trouble locating his slider.
"My slider wasn't all that good today," Chen said through a translator. "So the hitter has one less pitch to worry about. I need to get all my pitches working so hitters have trouble staying on my fastball."
The Twins opened the scoring with a run in the first inning on a one-out RBI double from Trevor Plouffe to score Mauer, who singled with one out. It was Plouffe's Major League-leading 13th double of the young season.
Minnesota scored again in the third to take the lead on a solo blast from Dozier on a 3-2 fastball from Chen. Dozier has a team-leading eight homers this season, and all of them have been solo shots.
Dozier said the Twins made it a point to be more aggressive on Saturday, as they were letting too many hittable pitches go by in their four-game losing streak. So when Chen threw a fastball after falling behind 3-2, Dozier jumped all over it.
"He throws a lot of fastballs and fills up the zone pretty good," Dozier said. "It was good, because we wanted to be more aggressive. It was a fastball, 3-2, and I just got a good pitch to hit."
Mauer, who entered the game with a .136 batting average with runners in scoring position, improved that figure with an RBI single in the fifth to score Dozier, who reached on an infield single and went to second on a throwing error from third baseman Manny Machado.
Mauer added another big hit with runners in scoring position in the seventh to put the game out of reach, as he connected on a three-run blast to left field off O's reliever Brad Brach. It was Mauer's second homer of the season and his first since April 12.
"I felt good," Mauer said. "I had some good at-bats. I got some good pitches to hit and didn't miss them."
The Twins received a boost from their top two hitters in the order, as Dozier and Mauer combined to go 6-for-8 with five RBIs, two homers and five runs scored to pace the offense.
"Mauer had a huge day, and Dozier had a really nice day," Gardenhire said. "We had some guys have some nice days, so it was a good win for us."

Nestled in the heart of the Long Island Sound, the city of Bridgeport is the most populous city in the state of Connecticut, but still maintains the quaint atmosphere of a small town. Comprised of 13 distinctive neighborhoods and full of proud community spirit, it is easy to see why Bridgeport apartments for rent have become such a hot commodity. Coastal access, an appreciation for the arts and a pro-business attitude are just some of the reasons why it is the most sought-after city in Connecticut. According to City-Data, the city has seen a growth in population from 2000 to 2010, indicating that Bridgeport is a place that many families want to be a part of.
Bridgeport was originally part of the township of Stratford, with its first recorded settlements beginning in 1659. However, Bridgeport did not become a city in its own right until 1836. The city quickly became known for its shipbuilding and whaling industries throughout the 19th century. Due to its ideal geographic location along the Long Island Sound, Bridgeport has always attracted both visitors and residents for centuries. Today, the city has morphed into Connecticut's largest and most well-known hub for dining, entertainment, culture and business. According to information from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, the city is home to more than 144,000 residents, and that number is expected to grow as more people in the New England area discover what this charming city has to offer.
This town is perhaps best known for its commitment to promoting arts in the community, so it should come as no surprise that the area's biggest annual event is the Bridgeport Arts Fest held during the summer. Each year, a celebration in Bridgeport is held that features original artwork and crafts, live entertainment and demonstrations and food and drinks.

Harry Mitchell on Welfare & PovertyDemocrat |
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D, MD): [In developing national service over many years] we were not in the business of creating another new social program. What we were in the business of was creating a new social invention. What do I mean by that? In our country, we are known for our technological inventions. But also often overlooked, and sometimes undervalued, is our social inventions.
We created national service to let young people find opportunity to be of service and also to make an important contribution. But not all was rosy. In 2003, when I was the ranking member on the appropriations subcommittee funding national service, they created a debacle. One of their most colossal errors was that they enrolled over 20,000 volunteers and could not afford to pay for it. That is how sloppy they were in their accounting. I called them the "Enron of nonprofits."
And they worked on it. But all that is history. We are going to expand AmeriCorps activity into specialized corps. One, an education corps; another, a health futures corps; another, a veterans corps; and another called opportunity corps. These are not outside of AmeriCorps. They will be subsets because we find this is where compelling human need is and at the same time offers great opportunity for volunteers to do it.
Opponent's argument to vote No:No senators spoke against the amendment.

The political divide that has kept the federal government in shutdown mode for more than a week may be growing, but the shutdown itself is shrinking.
An estimated 800,000 of the more than 2 million government employees were deemed "non-essential" and furloughed when the federal fiscal year began Oct. 1. However, almost half the cuts were civilian Defense Department workers, and most of them are returning to work. Thousands of workers in other agencies also are going back to their jobs.
"They are trying to bring back folks when there is a crisis," said Tim Kauffman, spokesman for the American Federation of Government Employees. Kauffman said about half the 670,000 federation members were furloughed last week, but many have returned to their jobs.
This week, the Social Security Administration brought back 8,800 workers. The CIA announced plans Wednesday to recall an undisclosed number of "employees who are necessary to carry out the CIA's core missions." And the Federal Aviation Administration said it is bringing back 800 inspectors, oversight staff and others.
And there have been temporary recalls - the Federal Emergency Management Agency brought people back when Tropical Storm Karen threatened the Gulf Coast, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called workers back this week to deal with a salmonella outbreak sweeping the nation.
There is a hitch: There is no guarantee that workers who have been called back or those who are still furloughed will be paid. The House passed a bill to pay those working and another bill to pay those on furlough. The bills are currently in the Senate.
Last week, Cortney Robateau, a case worker in the Social Security Administration's Office of Disability Adjudication Review, was considered a non-essential government worker. She was furloughed along with almost everyone nationwide in her division.
On Tuesday, she was considered essential and told to report back to work Wednesday or face disciplinary action. And it's all without guarantee of pay, she said.
"We're being forced to go back â?¦ and they expect us to give 150%," she said, adding that she's frustrated by the back-and-forth political jockeying.
"It's like we are caught in the middle of a really bad divorce," she said.
Some departments were barely hit by furloughs - about 97% of Department of Veterans Affairs employees were exempt. Defense Department numbers were not available, but 84% of Homeland Security employees were exempt, as were 80% at the Justice Department.
Only 10% of Treasury employees were exempt; the number was 18% at Health and Human Services.
The number of federal workers furloughed can fluctuate. Kauffman said some federal employees who continued to work last week are only now being furloughed. The Veterans Benefits Administration furloughed 7,000 workers this week.
Nick Schwellenbach, senior fiscal policy analyst for the non-profit Center for Effective Government, said agencies that regulate, investigate or provide personnel for major emergencies - such as storms or airplane crashes - are most likely to bring people back before a budget deal to end the shutdown is reached.
He said workers who may be brought back are the ones who can help with specific situations or emergencies such as wildfires and mine disasters. But don't look for your local national park to open any time soon - despite the hoopla around the inconvenience to vacationing families or couples wanting to get married.
"Getting married is not seen as an emergency," he said.
Schwellenbach said agencies that do not have emergency functions are more likely to have workers out until the shutdown ends. That list would include scientists conducting experiments for the National Institutes of Health, physicists working at labs with the Department of Energy, or statisticians and economists with the Census Bureau or the Bureau of Labor statistics.
"Their work is valuable to the media and businesses ... (but) their work is not seen as an emergency," he said. An exception would be some kind of economic disruption that needed immediate analysis, he added.
NASA is another agency that probably will have to wait to bring back staff.
"The astronauts at the space station are obviously not furloughed, but unless an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, I don't see NASA bringing people back before the shutdown," Schwellenbach said.
And anyone looking for any public records, don't even bother. Every agency with a Freedom of Information Act office is closed.
"That's an ancillary function," Schwellenbach said.
Edgar Morales is an underwriter with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He said those who work to improve the lives of people in low-income communities do important work, but he acknowledged that it is not considered an emergency function.
"We are the low man on the totem pole," he said, adding: "I know the work I do is very important."

The clock ran out at midnight Monday on halfhearted efforts in Congress to avoid a partial shutdown of the federal government.
No real negotiations occurred in the waning hours as the Republican-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate remained too far apart to pass funding for the fiscal year that began as the calendar changed to Oct. 1.
House Republicans insisted on using the bill to put chinks in the Affordable Care Act health care reform law enacted 3½ years ago that is just now starting to take full effect. Senate Democrats and the White House insisted on a short-term appropriations bill without any controversial riders. They traded versions of a short-term spending bill but remained miles apart.
The inability to reach agreement leads to a situation where, short of some early Tuesday budgetary miracle, federal workers will report to work Tuesday but many civilians will quickly be going home.
The Defense Department is exempt from full effects of a shutdown. Members of the armed forces, including the Coast Guard, will report to work as usual, but about half of DoD civilian employees and many contractors will be sent home until funding is restored.
Just before the shutdown took effect, President Obama signed into law the Pay Our Military Act that guarantees service members will be paid on time during a shutdown. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, said the military pay protection law prevents a travesty of service members serving in Afghanistan while only receiving IOUs but that is just one travesty avoided. He noted the Defense Department has warned it will not be able to pay death benefits for any active-duty deaths that occur beginning Oct. 1 until government funding is restored.
Full shutdown details have not been announced, but Pentagon officials warned that stateside commissaries could be closed, maintenance deferred on equipment and facilities, and training claims and temporary duty orders revoked.
Additionally, the Pentagon will be prevented from signing new contracts for weapons and services, and can only continue to pay contracts funded by pre-2014 appropriations.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said a large number of civilians are likely to be temporarily furloughed. In a DoD-wide message, he said who is working and who is furlough is a decision dictated solely by the law, which only permits us to direct civilians to work if they are required to continue supporting military operations or if they are required to protect DoD personnel and property.
The furloughs are in no way a reflection of the importance of your work, the hard effort you put forth every day, or your dedicated service to our department and our nation, he said, acknowledging that a shutdown another blow to the military that already had furloughs caused by sequestration. This has been a trying period for DoD personnel across the globe. This is an unnecessary and unwelcome distraction from our mission of defending the nation.
VA hospitals, clinics and mental health counseling are not affected by the shutdown and, for at least a short time, benefits checks will continue to be paid.
However, VA spokeswoman Victoria Dillion said a shutdown will slow the processing of veterans claims, and that mandatory overtime that has been used since April to dramatically reduce the number of claims pending for longer than one year will have to be stopped.
In the event of a prolonged shutdown, claims processing and payments in these programs will be suspended when funds are exhausted, she said. At veterans cemeteries, interments will continue, but may be on a reduced schedule, Dillion said.
It remains unclear how to get government funding restored.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., one of the leading opponents of Obamacare who advocates using the government funding bill as a vehicle for stopping it, said vital government programs could be restarted. He suggested an unprecedented option of passing short-term spending bills for specific programs where there is bipartisan support, such as the Veterans Affairs Department and federal law enforcement programs.
Obama blamed Congress for shirking its responsibility to pass a budget and detailed some of the pain, like shutting down most of NASA, national monuments and social programs aimed at veterans, seniors, women and children.
All of this is entirely preventable, Obama said. Keeping the peoples government open is not a concession to me. Keeping vital services running and hundreds of thousands of Americans on the job is not something you give to the other side. Its our basic responsibility.
Republicans blamed Obama for not negotiating with them about health care reform. Rep. Paul Cook, R-Calif., a retired Marine Corps colonel, complained the White House and Senate had been foot-dragging.
As a member of Congress who wants to get things done, it is frustrating to see this game of Russian roulette play out, Cook said. We should pass a short-term continuing resolution until we can reach a longer-term deal.

This is late, this should have been done a decade ago.
Also now with Wayland, is X.org Server getting less relevant?
If the X Window System get less relevant, will X.org Foundation get less relevant too?
Or will Wayland be part of the X.org Foundation?

Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

Volquez gets final playoff audition vs. Giants
Lincecum's start vs. Dodgers could be last for San Francisco
Edinson Volquez is fighting for a postseason roster spot, while his club is fighting for home-field advantage. On Thursday, the Dodgers wrap up their season series against the archrival Giants with Volquez on the hill.
Trailing St. Louis by 2 1/2 games and Atlanta by two games in the fight for home field in the National League, the Dodgers appear destined to open the playoffs on the road. If they can catch either the Cardinals or the Braves, they'll begin the NL Division Series at Dodger Stadium next Thursday.
Volquez, meanwhile, is hoping to earn a spot on the playoff roster as a long reliever. In four starts since coming over from San Diego, Volquez has shown steady improvement. His most recent outing -- 6 1/3 innings, five hits, two runs (one earned) against the Padres last Friday -- was his best with Los Angeles thus far.
As for the Giants, they'll hand the ball to veteran right-hander Tim Lincecum, who could be making his final start for the organization that drafted and developed him.
Lincecum, who won two Cy Young Awards and two World Series in San Francisco, will be a free agent and says he has to "see what's on the table before I dismiss anything."
In seven seasons with the Giants, Lincecum has racked up 89 wins, 1,504 strikeouts and a 3.47 ERA. Perhaps more importantly, he posted a 5-2 record and 2.47 ERA in 12 postseason appearances.
"It's been one memory after another," Lincecum said. "There were a number of guys who were here before me whose careers I got to see, and young guys who have come up and made names for themselves, and I've also been a part of that."
Dodgers: Ethier ailing
Outfielder Andre Ethier was sent to Los Angeles on Wednesday to undergo tests on his injured left ankle. He hasn't played since Sept. 13, when he aggravated it while legging out a double. An MRI and CT scan showed his lower left leg had improved but not completely healed.
"Yeah, I'm a little worried about him," manager Don Mattingly said. "He didn't look good and wasn't running very hard. I'd like to be optimistic."
The Dodgers are officially calling the injury a left ankle sprain. Ethier is hitting .272 this season with 12 homers.
Giants: Scutaro to have pin put in pinkie
Second baseman Marco Scutaro will have a pin placed in his left pinkie finger, which he injured when he was hit by a pitch in June. The pin will remain in Scutaro's finger for more than a month in an attempt to straighten the bend in the finger.
Scutaro continued playing despite the injury before being officially shut down Tuesday.
"That was what I was supposed to do when I got hit," Scutaro said of the pin. "But I tried to wait a couple of days and keep playing."
Worth noting
• In 50 career at-bats against Lincecum, Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez has struck out 16 times and notched just 10 hits -- none for extra bases.
• The Giants are 39-39 at home this season with four games remaining as they try to avoid their first sub-.500 season at home since 2008.
• Brandon Belt, Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval, who all have at least 10 career plate appearances vs. Volquez, are each hitting above .400 against him.
