Significance and Use
This practice is useful for preparing extracts from fire debris for later analysis by gas chromatography mass spectrometry.
This is a very sensitive separation procedure, capable of isolating quantities smaller than 1/10 μL of ignitable liquid residue from a sample.
1. Scope
1.1 This practice describes the procedure for separation of small quantities of ignitable liquid residues from samples of fire debris using an adsorbent material to extract the residue from the static headspace above the sample, then eluting the adsorbent with a solvent.
1.2 While this practice is suitable for successfully extracting ignitable liquid residues over the entire range of concentration, the headspace concentration methods are best used when a high level of sensitivity is required due to a very low concentration of ignitable liquid residues in the sample.
1.2.1 Unlike other methods of separation and concentration, this practice is essentially nondestructive.
1.3 Alternate separation and concentration procedures are listed in the referenced documents (see Practices E1386, E1388, E1413, and E2154).
1.4 This practice does not replace knowledge, skill, ability, experience, education, or training and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Birds' eggs symbolic of fertility and resurrection
An interesting attribute of birds is their means of reproducing, a complicated, ingenious system that is partially repeated in other animals, including humans. Eggs are basically an embryo encased in a protective, calcified layer. In birds, egg shape, color and size are species-specific. The very idea of an egg is magic, symbolic and has been employed as an artifact in religion.
I was raised in a Methodist family. Brightly colored Easter eggs were one of our great delights. They were brought in baskets by the Easter bunny, early on Easter morning. My sister and I ate regular hen's eggs almost every day, but we knew about the bunny, that it only laid eggs at a certain time each year. Sometimes it hid eggs in a park where the children in our classes at school were taken to search for them.
The eggs the bunny brought at Easter were made of candy, colored or chocolate. We were sharp girls and did not believe in the bunny very long (nor in Santa Claus either) but we pretended to believe because we wanted the eggs and we loved the idea.
One of the funniest memories we have of our father was when I was about 11 years old and my sister was 18 months younger. On Easter morning our father came hopping into our room with a basket on each arm, playing the Easter bunny. We fell on the floor with delighted laughter. I think he was making some kind of simulated rabbit noises.
Back to bird eggs. This is the subject foremost on the mind of every bird in our neighborhood at this time of year, and it is no joke. The continuation of the species depends on successful nests, eggs and clutches. The cardinal in the treetop, singing his little lungs out, the mockingbird keeping my neighbor awake on moonlight nights, the house sparrows busily gathering straw and sticks, and the mourning dove, anxiously oowooing at dawn outside my window, all have but one theme: Find a mate, build a nest, lay eggs and hatch them.
The avian egg has long symbolized the earth, life or the soul. The egg occurs prominently in many fertility rites, and is used at Easter. It may be a vestigial remainder of earlier, pre-Christian times. However the chicken egg is used universally in the Western world today.
Easter is one of the principal festivals of the Christian church year. The name Easter may have come from the name of the Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring, Eostre. The source of using eggs at Easter may have arisen when eggs were forbidden from the diet of Lent, preparatory for Easter. In England there were celebrants called "pace-eggers," boys and men who went around begging for eggs before performing in a holy play, enacting the death and resurrection of Christ.
Another belief in early days was that the "sun danced for joy on Easter at dawn." Rolling colored eggs down slopes was practiced in northern England on Easter Monday. In Greece, people used a red colored egg to hit their friends. Egg rolling on the lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C. has become an annual custom.
A family in South Shores suffered a tragedy recently. Mockingbirds built their nest in a potted ficus tree by their front door and laid four eggs. While the humans were out of town, the tree was blown over by high winds. When they returned, there was no trace of the eggs. Cats might have gotten them.
I think the mockingbirds might build another nest and try again because it is so early in the season.
Happy Easter eggs.
Phyllis Yochem, a Corpus Christi resident, has studied birds in Texas since 1960.

Following up on this week's announcement of Paul Friedman's appointment to vice president at CBS News: Almost one year ago to the day, on April 26, 2005, Friedman offered some "free advice" to Les Moonves in the Wall Street Journal. Perhaps it offers a few clues about the direction of the Evening News.
CBS "cannot win by doing the same old thing as the other networks, it has less to lose than the other networks, and it still has very talented people who can accomplish change," Friedman wrote. "More important, it is in the position to do the strategically right thing by doing the right thing. This is not a matter of wallowing in the 'tradition of Edward R. Murrow' and the 'Tiffany network.' This is about earning ratings and money by attracting an audience that wants more than endless repetition of 'breaking news,' even as most media outlets go down-market."
Friedman said CBS should "believe in and commit to a newscast that gives people something to chew on, in a different style." He said the broadcast should "summarize the news of the day in five minutes or so;" then spend 10 minutes "covering one really good story;" and end with opinion…

Si vis pacem, para bellum
Si vis pacem, para bellum is a Latin adage translated as, "If you want peace, prepare for war". The adage was adapted from a statement found in Book 3 of Latin author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus's tract De Re Militari (4th or 5th century),[1] although the idea it conveys is also present in earlier works, such as Plato's Nomoi (Laws).[2][3]
Notable uses[edit]
Whatever the source, the adage has become a living vocabulary item itself, used in the production of different ideas in a number of languages. The actual words of Vegetius are not even recognized by a large number of writers, who attribute the saying directly to him.
Si vis bellum para pacem[edit]
For example, with reference to the foreign policy of Napoleon Bonaparte, the historian de Bourrienne said:[4]
- Everyone knows the adage... Had Bonaparte been a Latin scholar he would probably have reversed it and said, Si vis bellum para pacem.
Meaning that if you are planning a war, you should put other nations off guard by cultivating peace. Conversely, another interpretation could be that preparing for peace may lead another party to wage war on you.
Si vis pacem para pactum[edit]
The idea of ensuring peace by deterring warlike powers through armaments took an ominous turn in the 20th century with the increased militarism of Nazi Germany and other Axis Powers. Suggesting that perhaps merely being prepared for war is not enough and that it is necessary to wage war in order to deter war. The National Arbitration and Peace Congress of 1907, presided over by Andrew Carnegie, had addressed this issue years earlier:
- These vast armaments on land and water are being defended as a means, not to wage war, but to prevent war.... there is a safer way ... it requires only the consent and the good-will of the governments. Today they say .... If you want peace, prepare for war. This Congress says in behalf of the people: Si vis pacem, para pactum, if you want peace, agree to keep the peace.[5]
Si vis pacem fac bellum[edit]
"If you want peace, make war". The solution does not cover the case of the nation that does not desire peace. Imperial Germany went to war in 1914 and was castigated by Richard Grelling, a German-Jewish pacifist, in J'Accuse (1915). In 1918 Grelling wrote again, this time as an ex-patriate in Switzerland. Citing the "The world must be safe for democracy." speech of Woodrow Wilson before Congress on April 2, 1917, Grelling says:[6]
- when all other means fail, ... the liberation of the world from military domination can in the extreme case only take place by battle. ... in place of si vis pacem para bellum a similarly sounding principle ... may become a necessity: Si vis pacem, fac bellum.
Si vis pacem para pacem[edit]
The great wars of the 19th and 20th centuries were opposed by the philosophy of pacifism, which in the 19th century was associated with early socialism, even though the socialism of the 20th often lacked pacifistic tendencies, preaching violent revolution instead. The pacifism that opposed the world wars traced a lineage to Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin, an early French socialist and one of the founders of Saint-Simonianism. As early as April 2, 1841, he had said in a letter to General Saint-Cyr Nugues:[7]
- Le fameux dicton ... me semble beaucoup moins vrai, pour le XIXe síècle, que Si vis pacem, para pacem.
- The famous dictum ... to me seems much less true, for the 19th century, than Si vis pacem, para pacem.
with reference to Algeria. By way of elucidation Enfantin goes on to say that war could have been avoided if a proper study of Algeria had been made.
The parabellum[edit]
The main clause of the adage has been used as a motto by German arms maker Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM), and is the source of the term Parabellum as applied to firearms and ammunition[8][9] (especially the 9mm Parabellum cartridge). The term is an opposed parallel to the English use of "peacemaker" to mean the Colt Single Action Army handgun.
- The phrase is the motto of MSSG-31 (now known as CLB-31), part of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, III Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Okinawa, Japan.
- The phrase is the title of a 1971 pamphlet by The Angry Brigade
- The phrase is the motto of the class of 1996 of the United States Naval Academy
- The phrase is the motto of the Royal Navy
- The phrase is the motto of the Norwegian Military Academy
- The phrase is the motto of RAF Spadeadam
- The phrase is the motto of the 96th Communication Squadron, based at Eglin AFB
- The phrase is the motto of the 1/414th Infantry Regiment, based at Fort Sill
- The phrase is the motto of the 302nd Security Forces Squadron, Peterson AFB, CO
- The phrase is the motto of the 24th Marine Regiment
- The phrase is the motto of Lohatla Army Battle School, South Africa
- The phrase is the motto of the 155th Air Refueling Wing Nebraska Air National Guard Logistics Readiness Squadron, NE
- The phrase is the motto of Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Chicago (consists of University of Illinois at Chicago and Illinois Institute of Technology).
- The phrase is the motto of the 4th Company, 1-12th Mech. Bde, Szczecin - Poland
- The phrase is used on symbolic of Weaponry Fund of the Republic of Lithuania Under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania[10]
- The phrase is the motto of C.d.R. (Club del RisiKo, Taurianova, Italy)
- The phrase was used by Thomas Jane in his portrayal of Frank Castle in the 2004 film, The Punisher, based on the Marvel Comics character. As well as in comic book The Punisher: Year One of 1994.
- The phrase is the motto of Electronic Attack Squadron 139, NAS Whidbey Island, WA
- The phrase is often used by WWE wrestler Triple H on his T-shirts

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
Fixing Mrs. Flinger Feb 20, 2015
I'm currently working on this website. I want to add back the links to blogs I love, some ways to find content easier, and put in archive, at last, some of the ancient articles. Come back to see updates.
Here comes the sun LALALALA May 24, 2010
A short, quick, super-fast update on the weekend because WE ALL HAVE SHIT TO DO. Yes, including you. A great friend of mine and her son travelled to Wenatchee with us to find the sunshine and an over-night road trip. There's a mystical place in Washington State where the sun shines most of the year and it's called EASTERN WASHINGTON. There are also a lot of Rednecks there. And Apples. So the three children piled in the back of our Xterra and we headed over to find swimming, playing outside in short sleeves, and good food. Here is a snort synopsis of the trip. And then we all passed out at 7pm. The end. *But it was seriously SO FUN. Minus the throwing fits and stuff. The kids' fits, I mean. Michelle and I were pretty well behaved considering. **Next I get to... Read morePurple Cafe's Bucheron Goat Cheese May 21, 2010
My neighbor and workout partner introduced me to the love of Goat Cheese at Purple Cafe recently. It's the kind of dish I set aside all kinds of weight watchers points to enjoy. It's the kind of dish I beg my husband to take me out to dinner for. It's the kind of dish I write home to friends and family about. I swear this dish could stop wars. WHY WAR? EAT BUCHERON GOAT CHEESE. Today I found the Purple Cafe blog. To my delighted surprise, I found the beloved goat cheese recipe. And now there may never be disease or war or famine. LET US ALL FIX GOAT CHEESE AT HOME. Orgasms may occur. Use at your own risk. Enjoy. Read moreThree Years PostPartum May 20, 2010

To my son, my only son, my second born. First, please know I don't love you less than your sister, I love you later. Just because I realized yesterday, that I hadn't invited anyone to your birthday party for tomorrow, doesn't mean I don't love you. It means I'm entirely over taxed and very, very tired which I only blame you for 40% of. It's pretty tough to believe it's been three years. That's the same amount of time the "The Indian Remote Sensing Satellite" or, IRS-1D orbited the earth taking pictures. (yea, I know things) In dog years, you'd be entering your teen-age angst. Sometimes I think you live in Dog Years. *Nothing says love like a choke-hold You are really coming in to your own, Buddy. You are striving...

Riddle me this: Full size bed, two adults. One person gets eaten alive nightly while the other blissfully sleeps through everything including children screaming, bitten-adult turning on lights and cussing, and possibly a small earthquake. Y'all, I'm getting eaten.alive.in.my.bed. It's been going on for a week now. I thought we had a spider so I changed the sheets and washed the bedding. It came back. My legs are all chewed up, my hips have red bumps on them and the bites are migrating north to my neck. I swear to god I have a teeny-tiny Edward Cullen sucking his way through all my veins. No, actually, I enjoy that image too much. Maybe it's more like a very tiny family of spiders, or a bunch of bed bugs? Which, while I'm at it, DO NOT GOOGLE BED...

#Fitness#Weght Loss and Body Image
A few weeks ago, I attended an amazing panel about our girls being "sexy too soon" by Parent Map. I was asked to tweet about the event during the discussion and received a ton of great feedback via twitter regarding the content of the session. It was well done and truly full of wonderful ideas to reach out to our girls. However. As I grabbed the courage to stand and ask a question, an Asian lady stood up before me to ask hers. "It's taken us two hours and we haven't talked about race," she said. The room fell silent. The all white panel stammered. "Um, yea…" The question-asker went on, "You know where my husband has to go find porn that looks like me? The FETISH section. That's because we over-romanticize and sexualize our... Read more

The Solaris WBEM SDK supports Level 1 WBEM SQL, which enables simple select operations without joins. The following table describes the supported WQL key words.
Table 5–2 Supported WQL Key Words
Key Word |
Description |
Combines two Boolean expressions and returns TRUE when both expressions are TRUE. |
Specifies the classes that contain the properties that are listed in a SELECT statement. |
Comparison operator that is used with NULL. |
Combines two conditions. When more than one logical operator is used in a statement, OR operators are evaluated after AND operators. |
Specifies the properties that are used in a query. |
Narrows the scope of a query. |
Generates a result set that is based on a minimum amount of information provided. |
You use the SELECT statement to retrieve instances of a single class and its subclasses. You can also specify the properties to retrieve and the conditions that must be met.
Currently, join operations are not supported.
The syntax for the SELECT statement is as follows:
SELECT list FROM class WHERE condition
The following table shows examples of using arguments in the SELECT clause to refine a search.
Table 5–3 Sample SELECT Statements
Example Query |
Description |
SELECT * FROM class |
Selects all instances of the specified class and all of its subclasses. Each instance that is returned contains all the properties. |
SELECT PropertyA FROM class |
Selects all instances that contain PropertyA of the specified class and all of its subclasses. |
SELECT PropertyA, PropertyB FROM class WHERE PropertyB=20 |
Selects all instances of the specified class and all of its subclasses where PropertyB=20. Each returned instance contains only PropertyA and PropertyB. |
The FROM clause identifies the class in which to search for instances that match the query string. Only non-joined expressions are supported, which means that a valid WQL FROM clause includes only a single class.
The FROM clause is represented by the abstract class, fromExp. Currently, NonJoinExp is the only direct subclass of fromExp. The NonJoinExp subclass represents FROM clauses with only one table (CIM class) to which the SELECT operation is applied.
The WHERE clause narrows the scope of a query. This clause contains a conditional expression, that can contain a property or key word, an operator, and a constant.
The syntax for a WHERE clause appended to a SELECT statement is as follows:
SELECT CIMinstance FROM CIMclass WHERE conditional_expression |
The conditional_expression in the WHERE clause takes the following form:
property operator constant
The expression is composed of a property or key word, an operator, and a constant. You can append the WHERE clause to the SELECT statement using one of the following forms:
SELECT instance FROM class [[WHERE constant operator property]] |
Valid WHERE clauses follow these rules:
The value of the constant must be of the correct data type for the property.
The operator must be a valid WQL operator.
Either a property name or a constant must appear on either side of the operator in the WHERE clause.
Arbitrary arithmetic expressions cannot be used. For example, the following query returns only instances of the Solaris_Printer class that represent a printer with ready status:
SELECT * FROM Solaris_Printer WHERE Status = `ready' |
Multiple groups of properties, operators, and constants can be combined in a WHERE clause using logical operators and parenthetical expressions. Each group must be joined with the AND, OR, or NOT operators.
The following example retrieves all instances of the Solaris_FileSystem class with the Name property set to either home or files:
SELECT * FROM Solaris_FileSystem WHERE Name= `home' OR Name= `files' |
The following example retrieves disks named home and files only if the disks have a certain amount of available space remaining, and have Solaris file systems.
SELECT * FROM Solaris_FileSystem WHERE (Name = `home' OR Name = `files') AND AvailableSpace > 2000000 AND FileSystem = `Solaris' |
You can use the following standard WQL operators for a binary expression in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement.
Table 5–4 WQL Operators for WHERE Clauses
Operator |
Description |
= |
Equal to |
< |
Less than |
> |
Greater than |
<= |
Less than or equal to |
>= |
Greater than or equal to |
<> |
Not equal to |

Bridge has a history that has spanned generations and cultures. As is typical of most card games for money, variations have appeared from the original art form. Such is the case of Texas Holdem which used to be played with five cards in saloons. Whether you are playing real bridge or poker, remember to wager responsibly. The history of US Texas Holdem has been plagued with setbacks according to Shaun Middlebrooks, who runs a blog detailing United States Poker Laws. Some famous poker enthusiasts double as bridge experts, most notably Bill Gates and Dan Harrington who used to play bridge and poker together in Harvard.

Australia is doubling the size of its Youth Ambassador program to about 500 volunteers over the next two years and this could be developed into a full-scale volunteer corps
Australia is doubling the size of its Youth Ambassador program to about 500 volunteers over the next two years and this could be developed into a full-scale volunteer corps
Crisis corps push
Young Australians will be drafted into a youth corps of volunteers to help in humanitarian crisis zones, under a plan being considered by the Federal Government.
The Howard Government will consider a proposal by the RevTim Costello, brother of Treasurer Peter Costello, to build a corps to help at natural disaster scenes and in developing countries.
A spokesman for Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Australia was already doubling the size of its Youth Ambassador program to about 500 volunteers over the next two years and this could be developed into a full-scale volunteer corps.
"Tim Costello has put forward a proposal and we will have a look at it," the spokesman said.
Fresh from his work in the tsunami-affected countries, Mr Costello said drastic action had to be taken to reduce the time taken for tsunami-affected countries to recover.
He said the United Nations expected the recovery to take up to 10 years and an Australian Youth Corps, modelled on the US Peace Corps, was an appropriate response.
"Once the headlines have stopped, these countries affected will still need our help," he said.
Mr Costello is chief executive officer of World Vision Australia, an organisation which has raised almost $70m for tsunami aid.
"The concept is of having an army of volunteers that can be drawn on in times of crisis," he said.
"Organising volunteers is like planning a military operation.
"But instead of deploying troops for war, it is a case of deploying civilians with peace in their hearts."
A precursor of a Youth Corps already exists in Australia's Youth Ambassador program, founded in 1998 by Mr Downer, which sends people aged 18 to 30 into the field for up to 12 months.
When this story was posted in January 2005, this was on the front page of PCOL:Read the stories and leave your comments.
Coleman: Peace Corps mission and expansion
Senator Norm Coleman, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee that oversees the Peace Corps, says in an op-ed, A chance to show the world America at its best: "Even as that worthy agency mobilizes a "Crisis Corps" of former Peace Corps volunteers to assist with tsunami relief, I believe an opportunity exists to rededicate ourselves to the mission of the Peace Corps and its expansion to touch more and more lives."
RPCVs active in new session of Congress
In the new session of Congress that begins this week, RPCV Congressman Tom Petri has a proposal to bolster Social Security, Sam Farr supported the objection to the Electoral College count, James Walsh has asked for a waiver to continue heading a powerful Appropriations subcommittee, Chris Shays will no longer be vice chairman of the Budget Committee, and Mike Honda spoke on the floor honoring late Congressman Robert Matsui.
Latest: RPCVs and Peace Corps provide aid
Peace Corps made an appeal last week to all Thailand RPCV's to consider serving again through the Crisis Corps and more than 30 RPCVs have responded so far. RPCVs: Read what an RPCV-led NGO is doing about the crisis an how one RPCV is headed for Sri Lanka to help a nation he grew to love. Question: Is Crisis Corps going to send RPCVs to India, Indonesia and nine other countries that need help?
The World's Broken Promise to our Children
Former Director Carol Bellamy, now head of Unicef, says that the appalling conditions endured today by half the world's children speak to a broken promise. Too many governments are doing worse than neglecting children -- they are making deliberate, informed choices that hurt children. Read her op-ed and Unicef's report on the State of the World's Children 2005.
Changing of the Guard
With Lloyd Pierson's departure, Marie Wheat has been named acting Chief of Staff and Chief of Operations responsible for the day-to-day management of the Peace Corps. Although Wheat is not an RPCV and has limited overseas experience, in her two years at the agency she has come to be respected as someone with good political skills who listens and delegates authority and we wish her the best in her new position.
Our debt to Bill Moyers
Former Peace Corps Deputy Director Bill Moyers leaves PBS next week to begin writing his memoir of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Read what Moyers says about journalism under fire, the value of a free press, and the yearning for democracy. "We have got to nurture the spirit of independent journalism in this country," he warns, "or we'll not save capitalism from its own excesses, and we'll not save democracy from its own inertia."
RPCV safe after Terrorist Attack
RPCV Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, the U.S. consul general in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia survived Monday's attack on the consulate without injury. Five consular employees and four others were killed. Abercrombie-Winstanley, the first woman to hold the position, has been an outspoken advocate of rights for Arab women and has met with Saudi reformers despite efforts by Saudi leaders to block the discussions.
Is Gaddi Leaving?
Rumors are swirling that Peace Corps Director Vasquez may be leaving the administration. We think Director Vasquez has been doing a good job and if he decides to stay to the end of the administration, he could possibly have the same sort of impact as a Loret Ruppe Miller. If Vasquez has decided to leave, then Bob Taft, Peter McPherson, Chris Shays, or Jody Olsen would be good candidates to run the agency. Latest: For the record, Peace Corps has no comment on the rumors.
The Birth of the Peace Corps
UMBC's Shriver Center and the Maryland Returned Volunteers hosted Scott Stossel, biographer of Sargent Shriver, who spoke on the Birth of the Peace Corps. This is the second annual Peace Corps History series - last year's speaker was Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn.

This must have been frustrating in deed for Ms. Geller. The CNN anchor was vapid as we would expect. The Muslim attorney cherry picked a verse from the Qur'an when in fact the institution of Islam is more a cult than a religion. If Islam is the "religion of peace" and not the sword why is it the objective of Islam to be the only religion in the entire world. With Islam you have this scenario. Conquer, submit to dhimmitude convert or die. How many religions fund their own faux military so that they can hide behind women and children as they fight their enemy? Islam, is nothing more than a Seventh Century all pervasive life style where it's membership is brain washed from the beginning. How many religions require your death if you leave the group. Zero!
Mano Bach, author of the best selling book, Escaping Islam told us at a recent ACT meeting, something that still burns inside me. Jihadist's didn't hijack the Que'ran Islam hijacked Muslims. Ask your self a simple question. Does a religion feature, mutilation of its females, stoning women to death, for real or made up crimes, provide a complete no interest banking system that funds Islamic Terror? The answer is simply no. America, and our elected officials must make this a top priority.
This proposed investigation coincides with the launch of a book by Dave Gaubatz, an anti-Islamic activist and author of the book "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America." It features an introduction by Rep. Myrick, and was written after Gaubatz posed as an intern at CAIR in an effort to "infiltrate" the group.
These charges smack of an America of sixty years ago where lists of "un-American" agitators were identified. We should be affirming the importance of diversity and tolerance for all interns and staff who serve in Congress without suspicion of being identified as "spies."
The idea that we should investigate Muslim interns as spies is a blow to the very principle of religious freedom that our founding fathers cherished so dearly. If anything, we should be encouraging all Americans to engage in the U.S. political process; to take part in, and to contribute to, the great democratic experiment that is America.
We all have experienced the sting of discrimination and we know that there will be challenges ahead. But our message should be firm that the America we believe in welcomes people of all backgrounds to the U.S. Congress.
We ask these charges be disavowed and we issue a hearty welcome to interns and staff of all creeds, color, ethnicities and sexual orientation.
But of course with a racist A.G. in Eric Holder, and a Muslim apologist as our current President, the investigation went nowhere. To learn more about this complete and utter fraud, please click on Muslim Mafia in the side bar to read an excellent review of the workings of the cult. Rational thoughts while observing the passing charade, i'm J.C.

Managers had a big Bonfire and the eclectic group of Berkeley types were a joy and it was a must experience night. Thank you for having our site number ready on the door and everything waiting for us. Being Willets, we were grateful to have such a wonderful inexpensive park with great heated bathrooms - drode
We called and questioned the bad reviews this park had, and was assured that things had changed. Bad choice, but you never know! Do not stay here EVER if you have a BIG rig! It was off of Hwy 101 and hard to get into with a narrow bridge at the entrance. (FIRST CLUE) Then we were greeted by the manager who was a little cocky to put it mildly, "Move your coaches so our regulars can get by." But there was no place to move 2 forty-foot rigs with cars in tow, or even turn around. (SECOND CLUE) Then he told us we would have to unhitch even if we wanted to turn around and leave. (YIKES) Might as well stay if we have to unhitch. So finally, we found 2 back in sites, (they said they had pull throughs for us, they didn't) that would fit us and we set up. Park has thick woods and a lot of regulars in travel trailers from the 60's. What a junky park, but we all agreed it that it was only for one night. So after a night of restless sleep (because the regulars were up BBQ'ing around midnight) we headed out carefully. Pulling back on to Hwy 101 was just as dangerous as pulling in. Oh, and even with a Passport America discount, this was still 23 dollars a night! Rip off. - skwamama

It is about 3 miles downhill from the highway turnoff, but still relatively close to the highway. There is some road noise but earplugs where not needed. When you check in for only a night or two you will probably be assigned one of the pull-thru sites right beside the pool. Take the short walk to the lower level where the sites are and have a look first. Right beside the pool there is some sort of power transformer which is buzzing permanently. We rather choose a back-in site at the very end which provided good privacy. Sites are gravel with some grass in between and a few trees. Hookups were ok. Wifi is available in the laundry room only. Our Verizon MiFi didn't work here. Very friendly staff. For supermarkets and/or gas stations you have to drive five miles back to Willits. If you want to see the Seabiscuit Statue, you have to walk or drive to the adjacent farm about a mile away. We'll stay here again when travelling on 101. - TheSchweitzers
We stopped for one night on our trip north. This park is about a mile off Hwy 101 down a fairly steep incline. The lady who checked us in was very friendly. The RV section is located on a lower level than the mobile home village. There are nice trees in the pull thru sites. Electric is only 30A but the daytime high was only 80, so that was no problem as we didn't use the a/c. There is a pool and restrooms by the RV section, and a laundry located by the front office. There is no cable or WiFi, but my AT&T hotspot worked fine here. Our rate includes a Good Sam discount. We would stay here again. - Gypsy Life
We had a large pull-through, the park is quiet and well maintained for an older park. The laundry room was very clean. The park is part of Ridgewood Ranch the home of Seabiscuit; we had a great tour there. The park is about 1 mile down a wide road that is fairly steep, but it is not a problem. It has only 30 amp service and the sewer is not well located, other than that it is a nice small park. We will return. - sjones

Could be a nice small park, but needs lots of work. Never met anyone from the park. We did self check-in. We were there 3 nights and never once saw a staff member. Very run down. We would not stay there again. - Stan LeRoy
This campground has a lot to be desired. I had to pay in advance because I was Passport America. There was no one in the office, or ever seen. We stayed 2 nights and were glad there was another camper there or we would have been afraid to stay. It was dark, grass needed cutting, and it needed some general fixing up. OK for an overnighter. We camped in a motorhome. - Alabama traveler
This small rustic campground is a decent spot for an over-night stop or a base for exploring the Redwoods, with long pull-through spaces providing a lot of shade for relief from the sometimes high summer temperatures. It is immediately adjacent to the highway with easy in and out. It gets some road noise but traffic is light during the night. We were not disturbed by it. Trees block satellite TV but we were able to get it from one of the sites closest to the highway using a portable dish and a long cable. Verizon MiFi worked but was slow. We will stay there again. - hwybnb

A little weird for snow birding seniors. After being given wristbands that we were told we must wear (like little kids). We went to our dusty site to watch Monday night football (without our wristbands. Oops! They advertise cable, but only 10 local channels. And the Wi-Fi dropped constantly. Overall, we felt this place is for young'ns. But for us, it felt as fake as their western building fronts. We would not overnight here again. - from Latte Land
Rate is $60/night discounted by buying annual KOA membership. Nice pool, not too crowded as kiddie water play area is separate. Park is set up for families and kids, we knew that so readily accepted it. We were first signed up for space A-1 which was right across from kiddie water park area. We ran back to office to ask for A-6 which was only other opening. Staff in office helpful, it was busy and chaotic but they handled the traffic flow well. Tons of staff throughout park helping, overseeing, doing trash etc. Each site had a reasonable amount of space in-between. Hook ups (water/electric) set up that you are back to back with your neighbor on one side, so a bit more private feeling and our other neighbor elected to pull in with his back to us so he could utilize the corner end unit better for his family. So good for us. The every other direction of the sites was confusing at first. Overall easy in and out of site and park. Site was level. Dump station for guest at exit of campground. For families, movies and events occur on weekends. The weekend we stayed was Xmas in July for the kids. Had to buy Friday and Saturday night to get a place to stay Friday night. We didn't plan so well, so mea culpa. Our site was water/electric only. We viewed the restrooms at dinner time and they were tired, damp from showers and a bit musty for a day's worth of use. We elected to use our own trailer for all services since it was a one-night stay. We forfeited site after the one night as this was part of larger travel trip. We would likely not return as we are not target customer for this (and most) KOAs. - THTH
This was our first time at the Willits KOA. We selected it because of the amenities for children. All sites and interior roads are gravel and dirt. The place is very dusty. We give this park high marks for the amenities including the children's water park (spray ground), pool, wading pool, petting zoo, climbing zone, miniature golf, and ice cream social. However, we were very disappointed with the customer service. The front desk staff were rude and seemed annoyed with all the guests and did not differentiate between problem guests and high quality guests. The owners have an extensive list of rules and signs posted everywhere. We were also disappointed to see that the owners allow day use guests to over-run the pool area and other amenities, essentially "crowding out" the overnight guests. We generally have good experiences at KOAs but we will not be returning to this location. - Lance Lewis

Holtsville Visions
Brass Ring
On this 2015 cold February morning, in the Hamlet of Holtsville, in the Town of Brookhaven, New York Holtsville Hal woke from a deep winters sleep at the Holtsville Ecology Center and Wildlife Preserve. Hal was in for a surprise something he never expected. Upon exiting his Burrow he looked around. His head turned from Right to Left and then he spun around. He then again Looked from Left to Right still without looking down yet. His head shook wondering why with his presents there was no sound, let alone anything loud.....? Then he realized.....
Where's the
Crowd ?!
After 19 years, have I gotten this day wrong? I hear no announcement not even a song ! Then he turned and saw a man in a Top Hat, and knew then it was the Mayor of the Day ! He was in fact Right on this Day and proceeded to look down at the White Snow then looked up to Daniel P. Losquadro and said there's something you should know. There's nobody here it's more then quite clear......Dan told him ...for children's safety the Park was closed, but everyone still awaits to hear your Official 2015 Prognostication. So Hal proceeded to tell him in Groundhogese that on the White Snow all about, he
see his Shadow and the thought of Spring must now go.
Sorry Folks.......Six More Weeks of Winter !
From Left to Right in the above photo that I took on February 2, 1996 is Harold H. Malkmes the 17 Term Superintendent of Highways. It was Harold who studied Horticulture at Farmingdale State University, and brought that knowledge and his vision to take the town dump in Holtsville and create what is now known as the Harold H. Malkmes Ecology and Wildlife Center. Harold with his wife Joyce created the foundation in creating a park now loved by everyone who visits it. It has a complete zoo of animals, Olympic size swimming pool, classrooms, walking and running track with exercise equiptment, and a childrens playground. But Harold had one furry animal he decided to name after him, he didn't see him except on February 2nd, but it was this unique gesture that today lives on. It was this little event of less then a dozen people coming to that even Harold had no idea of where it was headed to. The next man, you could say we've all looked UP to. Because high in the sky all over this world Felix J. Grucci Jr. of Fireworks by Grucci a former US Representitive, and Brookhaven Town Supervisor at the time, and to become elected to the 107th US Congress, has had us all looking up saying ooooh, and awwwh to spectacular explosive artwork in the sky. The next man Greg Drossel, Holtsville Hal's handler a Dean at the Ross School in East Hampton was offered to be the handler of Punxsutawney Phil in the movie Groundhog Day but instead stayed with Hal to this very day. Greg has taken students across the globe on real safari's teaching them about the animals in the wild where they roam free. Next, is then the Brookhaven Superintendent of Highways Patricia Strebel . Hal's guardian angel, Ralph Garcia who believed in my vision by a challenge by my daughter to take Groundhog Day to it's highest potential, immediately built a larger home and area for larger crowds not yet seen. Ralph saw the passion, and went with it, and to him and everyone I say......I've only just begun,
to make Groundhog Day with Holtsville Hal the finest Winter event, for children and families to look forward to from Now until
Forever !
Rebuilding One Step At A Time !
The stair case you see above may seem like nothing, but hear what I've heard from people of all ages who once walked them every time they were in the park . People of all ages have been using these stairs quietly and unnoticed. But for children, and parents who are working to rebuild an ailment, from stroke to leg problems of sprains, breaks etc. these are The Stairway to Heaven towards restoring strength and good future health. I'm sure Doctor Oz would quickly say stairs are GOOD EXERCISE. But because of poor maintenace and the ground shifting under them
they were taken down with no indication of restoring them! If the ground is shifting, simply hire a crew from San Francisco who know how to cope with the Earth shifting below them.....Problem solved. But the real answer is always......You Can If You Think You Can....so for the health and wellness and good of us all, lets rebuild ! Your stories of what these stairs mean to you that you shared with me will not fade into the wind!
..........Speaking of Health............and Creating Funds to feed the Animals
What you see here is a horse with only 75 yards to go to the finish line for the Triple Crown win at Belmont. What many don't know is when California Chrome exited the starting gate his hoof was hit by another horse by accident. But with that sore hoof, and bleeding, Chrome
on what Chrome does best.....Win the Race. In this photo that I took, the race could of stopped right here......California Chrome had Already Won, for Everyone already
in him, and Everybody across the panet including me was rooting for him......He HAD ALREADY won the hearts of all of us, and the line ahead could NEVER and will Never, take that away from him. When the race was over the hoof was spotted and immediately taken care of by the jockey and owners, and to this day you realize it's not if you cross the line first, but that people believe in you,.. to try!
Disney did
Buy the World Fair Grounds in Queens..............
it's a HOAX
The New York Pavilion at the Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, NY has
been added to the register of National Treasures by the National Trust for Historic Preservation on the 50th Anniversary in 2014. It has now become the 44th type building to enter the field like President Lincoln's cottage in Washington D.C. Designed
by renowned Architect Philip Johnson and structual engineer Lev Zetin. The eliptical floor was covered with a large Terrazzo Map that replicated the Texaco Road Map of New York State that we once picked up at the gas station Bob Hope spoke for.
If we don't RESTORE "Our " history and allow others to let it crumble to the ground, our children will never enjoy or see or learn about their families past or about their visions and how they wanted to make a richer life ahead for them. It is time that we stop wishing that the Pavilion
etc. came back to life.....and stand up and
help make it happen
. If we don't, our own history will look like Planet of The Apes !
I don't know about you but I've had just about enough fun in the snow for this year !!!
There are now 2 pieces of history that represent " 1776 " ...........one is right here in New York .........What is it ?!
The Freedom Tower Represents the Year in United States History of July 4, 1776. The tower is Exactly 17 hundred and 76 feet tall

Pacman denies part in shooting
Updated: January 11, 2009, 9:44 AM ET

Adam Jones denied the allegations of an ESPN "Outside the Lines" story, scheduled to air Sunday, in which three Atlanta-area men allege that Jones arranged for someone to shoot at them in 2007 after an altercation at a strip club.
"No," Jones said when asked if he was involved in the shooting in any way in an interview with ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
The Dallas Cowboys released Jones on Wednesday after a turbulent season in which he was suspended six games for an off-field scuffle ...

Senate Privacy Notice Bill Is Taking Form
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (3/19/13)--A Senate version of legislation that would make significant improvements in privacy notices for consumers could be introduced in the near future, perhaps as early as this week, Credit Union National Association Senior Vice President for Legislative Affairs Ryan Donovan noted on Monday.
The bill is expected to be substantially similar to the Eliminate Privacy Notice Confusion Act (H.R. 749), which passed the U.S. House by voice vote last week. H.R. 749 would eliminate repetitive privacy notices by eliminating a requirement that the notices be sent annually. Under the terms of the bill, privacy notices would only to be sent when the privacy policy of a financial institution has changed. A similar bill passed the House in late 2012, but the Senate did not vote on the bill before the last session of Congress ended.
CUNA has consistently supported these privacy notification changes, and CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney last week said the bill "will make privacy notifications more meaningful by removing a costly and duplicative paperwork requirement that has been no real help to consumers.
"More people are apt to pay attention to privacy notices that are made when their financial institution's policies change rather than when these notices are issued annually as a matter of routine," Cheney noted.
CUNA is also monitoring several hearings in the U.S. House and Senate this week, including the following hearings scheduled for Tuesday:
A House Judiciary crime, terrorism, homeland security and investigations subcommittee hearing on the Electronic Communications Privacy Act;
A House Ways and Means Committee hearing entitled "Tax Reform and Tax Provisions Affecting State and Local Governments.";
A House Financial Services Committee hearing on how government-sponsored enterprise conservatorships are being handled.
A Senate Banking Committee vote on the nomination of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray;
A Senate Banking Committee housing reforms hearing; and
A Senate Banking securities subcommittee hearing on insurance regulations.
On Wednesday, the House Financial Services financial institutions and consumer credit subcommittee will discuss community banking regulations. The House Ways and Means select revenue measures subcommittee will also address financial products tax reforms on that day.
The House and Senate are expected to begin a two-week district work period at the end of the week.

Don't Stifle CU Student Lending: CUNA to CFPB
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (3/19/13)--Noting that credit unions are natural partners for higher education institutions seeking to provide the most cost effective, student focused financial services to their students, the Credit Union National Association urged the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to avoid imposing any new student lending regulations on credit unions.
CUNA Assistant General Counsel Lance Noggle in a Monday comment letter noted there are several cases in which financial institutions partner with an institution of higher learning. However, Noggle wrote, "Financial institution partners may be chosen more for the financial benefits provided to the school rather than their willingness to provide low cost financial services to students.
"Fees paid by financial institutions to colleges and universities may be used to subsidize services and products such as financial aid disbursement accounts and student ID cards that act as debit cards; however, this arrangement comes at a cost to students that is often hidden and opaque," he added.
"The more that a financial institution is willing to pay for access and marketing to students, the more likely it is to design products that generate cash flows funded by students…Unlike for-profit institutions, credit unions exist to serve their members, including students, and not to extract profits from them," Noggle said.
CUNA in the comment letter also answered basic CFPB questions about student lending, including:
How cards or other products are offered to students;
What are the features of the different types of financial products and services that banks and credit unions offer to students;
What kind of campus affinity products are being offered to students;
How campus-affiliated products are marketed to students; and
What information about students is provided by institutions of higher education to financial institutions.
The CFPB is working to address a number of student loan issues, and is currently accepting comment from students, parents, lenders and educators on financial services specifically marketed to higher education students. The agency last week also released a proposed rule that would place any nonbank student loan servicer that handles more than 1 million borrower accounts under CFPB supervisory authority.

NEW: NCUA Releases FCU Fair Lending Letter
Permanent link
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (UPDATED: 3/19/13, 1:30 P.M. ET)--The National Credit Union Administration's criteria for conducting a fair lending exam or off-site supervision contact are addressed in a new letter to credit unions (13-FCU-02) released today.
The letter also covers recent additions to the agency's fair lending examination program, including new fair lending educational and compliance tools for federal credit unions. The letter also states that selected credit unions will receive advance written notice prior to further contact from NCUA on fair lending.
A guide attached to the letter provides:
An overview of fair lending law and regulations;
Credit union operational requirements;
Issues to consider when developing fair lending compliance policies; and
Checklists for testing compliance with laws and regulations, or developing a fair lending policy for compliance.
Credit Union National Association President/CEO Bill Cheney said that CUNA recognizes credit unions must obey the law. "But we have urged NCUA to refrain from directives and sanctions unless, based on measurable factors, the agency can demonstrate material compliance issues exist. We will continue to press this view."
Cheney said CUNA will follow up with the agency on this issue to provide more information to the credit union system on fair lending issues.
The NCUA also announced an April 4 webinar on fair lending.

NEW: Senate Banking Committee Approves Cordray CFPB Nomination
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (UPDATED: 3/19/13, 10:30 A.M. ET)--The Senate Banking Committee has approved Richard Cordray's nomination to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by a 12 to 10 vote.
Cordray's nomination will now move on to the full U.S. Senate.
President Barack Obama appointed Cordray to the CFPB director position during a brief congressional recess in 2012, and Cordray's term as director would end this year if he is not confirmed.
Obama has nominated Cordray to maintain the CFPB director position, but Senate Republicans have consistently said they would block any CFPB nominee if certain structural changes were not made to the agency.
House and Senate Republicans have supported replacing the CFPB director's position with a five-member panel of leadership. Legislation that would create such a panel (S. 205) has been introduced in the Senate. CUNA backs such a multi-member panel of directors if it includes seats statutorily designated for credit union system representatives, including a state or federal credit union regulator, and possibly a state consumer agency representative.

Winning a free iPod is a plus, having this bands logo engraved on the iPod is a big negative.

i upgraded to an 80gb ipod just two weeks before they dropped the price 100 dollars and changed the facing to metal instead of plastic.

How ironic would it be to win this iPod with the band's logo engraved and then not even have ONE song from the band in there!

So what sticker are you guys putting over the engraved logo?

i'm just afraid that if i get an ipod i'll end up looking like every other robo geek on the street, in my own little world, unaware of my surroundings and staring at the ground.

Haven't we been over this already? The release date is October 30, NOT October 9. |
