You know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar, if I were to say to you that this '67 Corvette wasn't an eye turner in every sense of the word. Whether it's the 500hp Chevy 350 or the thoroughly plated suspension and exhaust pieces, there's not much about this Corvette that won't gather attention. And would you believe had it not been for a near-catastrophic fire, owner Michael Bochnak of Colorado Springs, Colorado, might not have ended up with what he believed "a Corvette should have looked like in 1967."
It all started in 1977 after the purchase of a yellow convertible with only 23,000 miles on the clock. Originally an Arizona car, the dry climate had kept the Vette in reasonable condition over its first 10-year period. From 1977 to 1980 the car was only gaining about 2,000 miles a year and had so far been a dream in terms of upkeep. It was then that Michael decided to increase the output from the stock 327 to 400-plus ponies. Later on, he picked up an '82 Collector's Edition Stingray when they hit the dealer's room, and with the new Stingray providing the major mode of transportation to the budding Corvette enthusiast, the '67 was retired to joy trips and was cut back to 1,000 miles a year of road service.
It was on one of these road trips that Michael almost lost his original pride and joy. A mere four years after reworking the engine bay, a piece of the sponge air filter became lodged in the dual carburetors and started a fire in the engine bay. "I put the fire out without much damage happening to the car," Michael tells us, "[but the hood] had developed a small sag in the middle where the resin had melted a little." This is when the transformation of the '67 from a low-miles, "air-car" original began.
In the fall of 1984 the '67 went to a local dealer for a possible changing out of the hood and repainting. "As I looked at the car, I noticed that the dealer must have sprayed sound-deadening material on the underside. This stuff was everywhere and on everything," the owner lamented. "I decided I wanted to clean up the underside of the Corvette, and within a matter of 72 hours the body was off the car and flipped upside down next to the rolling frame."
With the process started, Bochnak went to friend and owner of Knob Hill Plating, Mark Clark, to discuss cleanup methods. "His solution to this problem? Why not just strip everything off the frame and take it to his shop and we'll hot tank everything clean," Mark told us. "Only problem was we didn't stop. Before I knew it I'd given Mark permission to plate and polish everything that had come off the frame." With Mark Clark taking care of the underpinnings, the owner and his friends at the Colorado Springs Corvette Center stripped the frame and underside of the '67 and returned it to original condition. As the one-year mark approached, the frame was beginning to be reassembled with the reconditioned, newly chrome-plated pieces.
It seemed like a reasonable project was reaching a reasonable conclusion until the modification bug bit Michael and the Corvette took off down a different stretch of road when he decided to bump the horsepower up again-to over 600! "With the help of an engine-building friend [Gary Crumb], we started getting crazy," Michael says with a grin. "We didn't think the 327 was a good place to start so we swapped my original motor with the engine from my '70 Chevy truck, a 350 four-bolt main." As it turns out, this wasn't a bad choice and the magic number of 650 was soon achieved with the help of a blower. If seemed as if everything was set, but before the body rejoined the frame, a set of Eckler's fender flares was glassed in to increase the available tire space.

Price Value Quality
I saw this product demonstrated in one of the online videos. I thought I would give it a try since I have dark circles and also use the concealer cream. Wow, this product does what it says it does. My concealer stayed put ALL DAY on a humid Southern day. At the end of the day, the make-up around my eyes looked fresh! Really good product--would definitely recommend!

Everyone knows what a spider sounds like when it moves, the muted scuttle of many hairy legs across a wooden floorboard or behind an ancient bookcase, and yet, it never occurs to them to wonder how they know this.
House spiders are of course too small to make any noise audible to the human ear. These weren't house spiders, they weren't even really spiders.

how long does battery last
fitbit zip wirless activity tracker
- Asked by Ann S
Fitbit Zip Wireless Activity Tracker
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Ages... I'm not sure what the previous answer about weekly recharging was about - they must have been referring to another product, as the FitBit Zip uses a non-rechareable coin battery and does not require recharging - when the battery runs flat, you simply replace it. The display is just a basic LED, like an old-style digital watch, but the display is off most of the time, so it uses very little power - I've had mine around six months and haven't needed to change the battery yet. You'll rarely need to look at the device itself, as interactive features are available through the companion app and website.
- Answered by Kirk F from Hebersham
According to the FitBit website, this device only needs to be charged about once a week, possibly twice.

By JOEL COLEMAN
When the Starkville 10-year-old All-Stars take the field today in Columbus for the Dizzy Dean State Tournament, they'll do so with plenty of talent and loads of promise.
Yet moreso than any skill possessed, coach Jim Yates believes his team could find themselves benefitting from one key intangible factor when Starkville faces Pontotoc at 4 p.m.
"The attitude of this team and the attitude of the boys is one of the best I've ever been around," said Yates. "You've got a lot of guys who are great players and were the best players on their (regular season) teams. But they've come in with a real team-first attitude. It has been a real neat thing for me to watch.
"I've been around guys before who really feel like it's about me-first, but these guys have been so coachable and just willing to do whatever and go wherever."
The selflessness of the Starkville team has proved to be a much-needed quality according to Yates. Though his club's roster, like every all-star team, is loaded with top players, many members of the squad have been forced to change positions ahead of tournament play.
"We got into all-stars, and really every one of our guys were infielders," said Yates. "We had really no outfielders. But we've looked real good at every position so we're feeling pretty good about it."
While Starkville's demeanor may well prove to be a deciding factor for the group, Yates is under no illusions. He understands that his team still must perform on the field in order to be successful.
Luckily, Yates believes Starkville is in pretty good shape in that regard as well.
"We're pretty balanced overall," said Yates. "We've got some good bats. If the guys will just get up there and swing, we can hit the ball. Fielding-wise, we're pretty solid.
"What we're going to live or die by will be our pitching. That's going to be our key thing."
Win or lose however, Yates says he's had quite the experience guiding the Starkville team as he and assistant coaches Charles Gardner, Brian Bennett and Brad Smith have tried to build the squad into winners, but more importantly, into fine young men.
"We've tried to get the spiritual side of things in, about when we play, we're playing for the glory of God," said Yates. "That's helped us to see it's not about ourselves, it's about the team and how we play for the Lord. Seeing the attitude of the guys has just been an awesome thing for me to watch. That's going to go far in their lives in every way."
Members of the Starkville 10-year-old All-Star team include Foster Yates, Walker Tranum, J.T. Patterson, Peyton Poole, Jay Stewart, Ben Guest, Nason Heflin, Zack Tucker, Jonathan Evans, Cameron Gardner, Bates Bennett and Garrett Smith.
Keith Lawrence, head coach of the Starkville 8-year-old All-Stars, knows what his team is capable of as they begin play in the Dizzy Dean State Tournament today in Louisville at 3:45 p.m. against Caledonia.
After all, just one season ago, many of the same individuals that make up Lawrence's current unit put together quite the run.
"It's pretty much all the same guys that finished second in the state last year," said Lawrence. "They actually, last year, only lost the state by one run."
Lawrence is hoping his club can recapture that magic again this time. With another year's worth of experience and hard work behind them, Lawrence believes Starkville is ready to do just that.
"We've been playing youth travel ball all spring long, plus park ball," said Lawrence. "That's really helped us."
Coming into today, Lawrence believes his team boasts plenty of strengths both offensively and defensively, but he thinks it is his group's play in the field that may very well set them apart.
"There is no holes in our defense really," said Lawrence. "The outfield is really good and the infield is real solid. Most teams this age have pretty good infields, but their outfields can't really catch pop-ups. Our kids, routine plays and pop-ups, they make them."
Behind those gloves and a lineup that Lawrence believes in, Starkville could very well be on the verge of putting together a special run according to its head coach.
"I don't think there's another team that can really play with us if the kids all play together," said Lawrence.
The Starkville 8-year-old All-Star team consist of Sam Clark, Riley Dawkins, Cedrick Hines, Nyjal Johnson, Keyshawn Lawrence, Tae Lucious, Jackson Owen, Keyvon Pearson, Banks Perry, Ahmir Taylor, Thomas Tucker and Qae Williams.
Lawrence is assisted by Edward Shields, Terrell Johnson and Sean Owen.
Led by coach Brady Clark, the Starkville 12-year-old All-Stars begin Dizzy Dean State Tournament play today at Eupora, facing Greenwood at 10 a.m.
Assistant coach Chip Stevens says he hopes to see the team succeed over the course of the event after its many hours of hard work.
"We've got a great bunch of guys and they've all worked hard and they've all gotten better and they've been a joy to coach," said Stevens.
The Starkville 12-year-old All-Star team is made up of Tyler Stovall, Blake Miller, Tavian Clark, Keion Smith, Javian Sherman, Reid Stevens, R.J. Shelton, Mac Newell, Timothy Hogan, Luke Davis, Zyderick Collins, and Austin Burns.
Bradley Burns and Will Sanders also serve as assistant coaches.

There are some conditions that can cause fluid to build up in the abdomen. This is called ascites. When fluid builds up, an abdominal paracentesis may be done. With this procedure, a needle is used to remove a sample of fluid or to drain fluid that has built up.
Reasons for Procedure
This is done to find out why there is fluid build-up in the abdomen. Causes may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Diseases of organs, such as the liver or kidneys
- Cancer
- Low blood protein
- Leakage of lymphatic fluid
This procedure may also be done when fluid in the abdomen:
- Makes breathing difficult
- Causes pain
Abdominal fluid can return until the condition causing it has been treated. You may need to have the procedure again.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. However, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have an abdominal paracentesis, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Accidental piercing of structures in the abdomen
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Alcoholism
- Bleeding disorder
- Poor nutrition
- Pregnancy
- Full bladder
- Infection in the area where the paracentesis instrument will be inserted
- Cirrhosis of the liver
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do some or all of the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- X-ray
- CT scan
- Ultrasound
- MRI scan
If the procedure is scheduled and not done on an emergency basis:
- Do not eat or drink for 12 hours before the procedure.
- Empty your bladder just before the procedure.
You will receive local anesthesia. The area will become numb. You will stay awake during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
This is usually done in the doctor's office. In some cases, your doctor may have you go to the hospital before or after this procedure. If you are already in the hospital for a different reason, this procedure will not extend your stay.
In most cases, you will lie on your back. In some instances, you may need to be in a different position. The area where the needle will be inserted is cleaned with a solution and draped with sterile cloths. An injection of a local anesthetic will be given to numb the area. A needle will be carefully inserted into the abdomen. The fluid will be removed using a syringe.
The amount of fluid removed depends on your condition. If it is being done to make a diagnosis, the doctor will remove a small amount of fluid and send it for testing. If the procedure is being done to make you feel better, more fluid may be removed.
How Long Will It Take?
About 10-15 minutes, depending on how much fluid needs to be removed
How Much Will It Hurt?
There will be some stinging or burning while the anesthesia is injected. After the area is numb, you will not feel pain.
Post-procedure Care
You will stay in the recovery room for a few hours. Your blood pressure and other vital signs will be monitored. If you have a lot of fluid leakage or are having trouble breathing, you may need to stay in the care center.
- Rest the day after your procedure.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
- Follow-up with you doctor. You may need to go over test results or have additional procedures.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever, chills and abdominal pain
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or fluid from the paracentesis site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Cough, shortness of breath, feeling faint, or chest pain
- Swelling of the abdomen
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Suggested Use
- Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
- Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
- If you desire a medicinal tea: This herb has a tough cellular structure and some heat is required to release all of its medicinal properties and flavors. Use one tea bag per cup of hot water in a stainless steel or glass pot, cover, boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes. This is known as the decoction method. Extra tea can be kept in a covered glass jar for a day or two in the refrigerator.
- If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour boiling water over teabags, cover, and let steep 5 to 7 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
Organic roasted dandelion root (taraxacum officinale).
No flavorings, preservatives or sweeteners of any kind.

In this day and age, it really does not matter what your income level may be, anyone can feel the tight pinch once in a while. When you find yourself in this situation, you naturally will want to have the needed money in your hand as soon as possible. Many people consider this and decide to consolidate payday loan.
They call the payday loan a one stop money shop. Naturally, you should only consider this as a last resort because, obviously, you will be required to pay it back with the terms that you both agree on. You will need to have a way to pay the loan back and typically, it is just taken out of your paycheck. If it seems that you are being bombarded with set backs, these loans can help you catch up. They will take out money from your pay each week until you have paid it all off.

You can finally get out of the deep financial hole you have fallen into. None really plans for the unexpected expenses, yet they happen all of the time.
You do not need to worry about taking precious time off from work in order to obtain this loan. You can get the money you need without giving up the comfort of your own home. This economy has left many of us underwater in our mortgages. We have no more wiggle room and no extra money to spare. We have had to take on these a short term loans in order to pay for necessary expenses such as emergency medications or critical car repairs.
The online application takes only a few minutes and then confirming your information. So many people need another kind of solution because they have reached for their credit card limits, can't take out a bank loan or have borrowed against the equity in their home. Anyone can come up short some weeks. This is what the online payday loans were designed for. They are specifically for those folks who are needing a totally short term amount of cash because something unexpected has come up. Visit here to read more news.
It is a way for hard working people to make it through a string of emergencies without winding up homeless. Most seasoned adults realize that life doesn't always follow logical schedules. When something comes up, you can get fast approval with only a mouse click away. Of course, always make sure that you do watch out for the obvious scams. Never spend money to cover fees before the loan is even processed.

For New Jersey painting contractor George Mihalis, a project with multiple colors is music to his ears. "It's like a composer working with the seven musical notes," he says. "My job is to put the palette together in a symphony of color."
A good example is the recent repaint and restoration work his company, Gikas Painting, did at the Everitt House bed and breakfast in historic Hackettstown, N.J.
Founded in 1853, Hackettstown is nestled in a valley along the banks of the Musconetcong River, in the heart of the scenic Skylands region of Northwest New Jersey. The Everitt House, built in 1875 by former mayor William Moore Everitt, is a 14-room home featuring beautifully appointed guest rooms with period antiques. According to local sources, the exterior of the home had not been painted in its entirety for more than 30 years. The town had grown used to its dignified, yet faded dark green exterior, says the current owner and innkeeper, Beverly Hutzel.
She was fascinated by its French Revival architecture – the mansard roofs, the elaborately carved corbels and the ornate molding. A member of the local historic society recommended Gikas Painting, a Montclair, N.J.-based firm that specializes in the painting and restoration of Victorian homes.
After reviewing the condition of the exterior, Gikas noted areas to be repaired or restored, and then the color selection began. Hutzel, who has a background in drafting and design, realized that the house needed a theme or concept to create a focus for the color palette. She chose a "sea glass" theme of blues and greens, with burgundy accents, found in the colors of small stained glass squares decorating the large glass-enclosed side porch. She located other items, such as a favorite sea glass bracelet, and an old blue ceramic jar, to help her understand how the colors would work together.
After she described her vision to Mihalis, he recommended hues from the Sherwin-Williams palette to create the 10 colors in the final palette. "He took a good idea, and made it even better," Hutzel says. "The house has retained its refined, classic character, but has shed its former somber tones for a more relaxed, joyous presence."
Mihalis helped to verify the colors selected by painting swatches of the main house colors on parts of the exterior. He and Hutzel reviewed the colors at various times of day, and then selected the main house color, a custom color blue matched at the Sherwin-Williams store.
Revel Blue (SW 6530) was chosen for the horizontal trim work, with Celestial (SW 6808) to accent the three-window bay effect of the side architecture. The secondary colors, a pastel green (Supreme Green, SW 6442) and a more olive hue (Rural Green, SW 6418), were then chosen. Rural Green was also used on the slate roof. Alabaster (SW 7008) was used in all areas where Hutzel desired a creamy white color was desired, including window frames, railing spindles and a side porch. She notes that the repetition of a color, such as a blue or green in various shades, adds a feeling of depth to the architecture.
"This painting and restoration project is our contribution to the ongoing history of this magnificent home," Hutzel says. "We are thrilled with the results, and are very grateful for the skill, professionalism, and craftsmanship of the Gikas team."
Paint products & perfecting the process
Repainting older houses requires special attention to products and surface prep, says Mihalis, whose company Gikas Painting has perfected its process painting more than 500 such homes in the last 10 years.
His crews start with paint shavers to strip off old layers of paint. "You can destroy siding with these machines, so you have to know what you're doing, and be really careful." Then they sand down to the bare wood, using increasingly fine screens.
Next, carpenters are brought in to fix any damaged or missing wood. As a full-service company, Gikas Painting has specialists in carpentry, roofing, gutters and insulation on staff. That was important to the success of the Everitt House restoration as several architectural details and a back porch had to be rebuilt.
Once all the old paint is removed, they caulk all openings with Sherwin-Williams 950A Siliconized Acrylic Latex Caulk, a top-of-the-line product that provides an excellent water and weather-resistant seal. Next, they prime the surface with A-100® Oil Primer.
"It's a heavy duty, deep penetrating primer," Mihalis says. "To me, it's the best primer on the market. I've used it for many years, and it's never failed me."
Once the primer is dry (give it at least 24 hours, he advises), it's time for the topcoat. Resilience™ Exterior Latex was used at the Everitt House. When the first coat was dry, more sanding was done to eliminate any imperfections, especially in the architectural details. A second coat of Resilience finished the job.
"We like the satin sheen for siding," Mihalis says. "It's easy to work with, spreads really nice. But moisture protection is the No. 1 reason we like it – that's the best feature I can sell to my customers." With the combination of Resilience and A-100 Primer, he says, he feels comfortable offering a 10-year warranty.
New EPA RRP regulations enacted in 2010 mean contractors have to take extra steps to prevent the potential of exposure to lead dust while repainting older homes. At the Everitt House, for example, Gikas Painting worked on one side of the house at a time, taking care to encapsulate the work area and secure the site with special caution tape. Debris and dust was collected by HEPA vacuums and properly disposed in special sealed 6-mil bags. More information on safe lead practices can be found at epa.gov/lead.

Because of World War I, the championship was stopped until 1919. However, with the popularity of the team increasing, in 1917 it was decided that Anderlecht would play at the Parc Astrid (known as Parc du Meir at that time) in a new stadium. They baptized the stadium Stade Emile Versé in honor of the club's first major patron, the industrialist Emile Versé, who also allegedly chose the team colours (purple and white). In 1919-1920, they finished third but failed to qualify for the top division. Nonetheless, at the end of that season, the Belgian Football Association decided to let two more clubs play in the first division which meant that the three top clubs in the second division would be promoted. Three teams finished with 22 points behind Tilleur and Standard Liège (two teams from Liège): Anderlecht, T.S.V. Lyra and F.C. Liégeois. A play-off match was organized, which was won by Anderlecht.
The first season at the top level was tough as the club finished in 12th place. With only 15 points from 26 matches (a win being worth two points at the time) at the end of the 1922-1923 season, they were unable to secure their status in the first division. They managed to win the second division in the following season and finished 9th in first division in 1925, but were relegated again in 1926. In total, they were relegated four times in ten years to the second division (1923, 1926, 1928 and 1931), earning themselves the mockery of local rival clubs Union Saint-Gilloise and Daring de Bruxelles. They achieved their best league position up to that point in reaching fifth spot in 1930. 25 years after their formation, the club changed its name to Royal Sporting Club Anderlechtois in 1933. In 1935, they won one of the two tiers of the second division competition (the other one was won by Club Brugge) and were promoted to the first division again, where they have remained since.
In 1964, after a 1-0 win at home, Anderlecht lost 2-1 at Bologna FC, and both teams had to play a third match (in Barcelona) that finished 0-0. Anderlecht finally qualified on the toss of a coin. In the second round, they were knocked out by Liverpool. The year after, they reached the quarter-finals again, this time meeting Real Madrid. But dubious refereeing in the second leg helped the Spanish to progress in the cup after a 4-3 victory on aggregate (the Belgians had won the first match 1-0). In 1966-1967 and 1967-1968, they suffered consecutive second round knockouts to Czech sides (first Dukla Prague, then Sparta Prague).
Six years later, Anderlecht won their first European trophy, the Cup Winners' Cup. They easily eliminated Rapid Bucureşti, then Banja Luka (from Yugoslavia). The third round tie against Welsh cup winner Wrexham A.F.C., at that time playing in the old English third division, proved more difficult. They knocked East German side Zwickau out in the semifinals. It had already been decided that the final would be played at the Heysel in Brussels. This presented a good opportunity for the team from Brussels to win their first European title, and they did so with a 4-2 win over West Ham United. Rob Rensenbrink and François Van Der Elst scored twice each, while Ludo Coeck, one of the key players of the team, was injured. Anderlecht also won the European Supercup that year against Bayern Munich, winning the home leg 4-1 after a 2-1 defeat at the Olympic Stadium).
The club's defence of the Cup Winners' Cup proved unsuccessful, losing the 1977 final to SV Hamburg (2-0). They took their revenge against the German side the following season at the second round stage of the Cup Winners' Cup, then eliminated FC Porto and FC Twente to reach the final for the third time in a row, and they won the cup again with a 4-0 victory against the FK Austria Vienna with two goals apiece from Rob Rensenbrink and Gilbert Van Binst. Again, the team won the Supercup, this time against Liverpool.
The day before the journey to Kuopion Pallotoverit for their UEFA Cup first round match in 1982, Paul Van Himst replaced Tomislav Ivic as coach. Anderlecht easily won (6-1 on aggregate), and they knocked out FC Porto (6-3 on aggregate) and Sarajevo (6-2 on aggregate) in the following two rounds. Two wins over Valencia saw the club through to the semi-finals, where they faced Bohemians Prague, who were beaten 4-1 over two legs. For their first UEFA Cup final since the UEFA Cup replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, Anderlecht beat SL Benfica to win their fifth European trophy in 7 years. The key players in this Anderlecht team were Franky Vercauteren and Juan Lozano.
In 1984, Anderlecht reached the UEFA Cup final again but their route to the final was less straightforward. In the round of 16, they were leading 1-0 at RC Lens with a goal by Erwin Vandenbergh but the Frenchmen equalized with a goal from a wicked deflection which left goalkeeper Jacky Munaron helpless. At home, Anderlecht secured a 1-0 win. After beating Spartak Moscow in the quarter-finals, they lost 2-0 at Nottingham Forest. Anderlecht won the second leg 3-0 in extremely scandalous circumstances. It later emerged that the referee officiating the match had been paid a bribe totalling £27,000 by the club's chairman. In the final, Tottenham Hotspur won after a penalty shootout.
Anderlecht won its 20th championship on the last matchday of the 1986-1987 season. They easily beat Berchem Sport (who were already relegated) while joint leaders KV Mechelen lost to Club Brugge, who needed a win to qualify for the UEFA Cup. Franky Vercauteren and Enzo Scifo were transferred in the summer and Juan Lozano had been heavily injured in a game at KSV Waregem a few months earlier. A weakened team coached by Raymond Goethals finished only 4th in 1988 behind Club Brugge, Mechelen and Antwerp, but they managed to lift the Belgian Cup for the sixth time in their history, after a 2-0 victory against Standard Liège, with goals by Luc Nilis and Eddie Krnčević. The next year, Anderlecht retained the trophy with goals by Krnčević and Jankovic (again with a 2-0 win over Standard), but finished second in the championship. After his second cup win, Raymond Goethals left for Bordeaux. At the end of the 1992-1993 season, R.S.C. Anderlechtois merged with the women's team Brussels Dames '71 to become R.S.C. Anderlecht.
Anderlecht's colours were the inspiration for Al Ain FC's colours.
Anderlecht has been playing in the Parc Astrid since the building of the Emile Versé Stadium in 1917. The stadium was completely rebuilt in 1983 and it was renamed in honour of the then chairman Constant Vanden Stock.

There are three genera of Salmonidae: Salmo, Oncorhynchus, and Salvelinus. Unfortunately, the common names of the species do not correspond to the natural divisions. The "true," or black-spotted, trout is actually a Salmo, and the speckled, or brook, trout of the E United States is a Salvelinus and should more properly be called a char, as similar fishes in Europe are.
The American species of Salmo were originally split by the Mississippi basin, and were represented in the east by the Atlantic salmon and in the west by the rainbow and cutthroat trouts. The Atlantic salmon was a plentiful source of food for the Native Americans and the colonists, but its populations have declined. This salmon is a large fish (15 lb/6.8 kg average) found along the Atlantic coast of NE America, in Greenland, and in Europe. When in the sea it feeds on crustaceans, but as it approaches the the large rivers to spawn, it changes its diet to small fish. A landlocked species, the Sebago salmon, is found in Maine. Of the many races of cutthroat trout, some are now extinct; the greenback trout of the Colorado Rockies was recently rediscovered. The steelhead trout is believed to be the silvery saltwater phase of the colorful rainbow trout. Rainbows and cutthroats are known to hybridize, and a new species, the Gila trout, combining characteristics of both, has been discovered in New Mexico. The brown trout, introduced from Europe in 1883, requires warmer waters than the native species and is important in fish-management programs.
The genus Oncorhynchus is comprised of the five species of Pacific salmon, found from S California to Alaska. These fish are the most important commercial species. Canning centers are located on the Columbia River and on Puget Sound and in British Columbia, Siberia, and N Japan. The largest and commercially most important of the Pacific salmon is the chinook (or quinnat or king) salmon, which averages 20 lb (9 kg) and may reach 100 lb (45 kg). It is found from the Bering Sea to Japan and S California and is marketed fresh, smoked, and canned. The white-fleshed fish of this normally red-fleshed species have become highly prized in the restaurant trade. The blueback salmon (called sockeye in Oregon and redfish in Alaska) has firm reddish flesh and forms the bulk of the canned salmon. Also of economic importance are the humpback, or pink, salmon, the smallest of the group; and the silver, or coho, salmon, important in the fall catch because of its late spawning season. The meat of the dog salmon is palatable when fresh or smoked.
The genus Salvelinus includes the various European chars; the common brook, or speckled, trout, a popular game fish of E North America, introduced in the West; and the Dolly Varden, or bull, trout, a similar western form. A fourth genus, Cristivomer, contains one species, the common lake trout, and one subspecies, the siscowet, or fat trout. These are deepwater fishes of North American lakes, more sluggish, less migratory, and bulkier than the other Salmonidae; individuals have been recorded at 100 lb (45 kg). A fish called the splake has been produced by crossing the speckled trout and the lake trout.
The basic life pattern of the Salmonidae begins when, within the first year or two of life, the fish travels downstream to the sea, where it grows to its full size. After reaching maturity (one to nine years) it returns to its hatching site to spawn. The Pacific salmon are famed for their grueling journeys of hundreds of miles to their headwater breeding grounds. When they begin this trip they are in prime condition, but they cease eating when they leave the sea and arrive months later, exhausted and battered by their fight upstream against swift currents and over falls. Those that survive the trip and escape fishermen and predatory animals spawn with their last strength and then die. These salmon are taken at the mouths of large rivers, as they begin their upstream migration. The Atlantic salmon and the trouts spawn more than once. Most trouts migrate to the sea if there is a cold-water connection, but also will sometimes live and reproduce if landlocked.
Because of such human activities as overfishing, development, dam building, logging, and farm irrigation, Pacific salmon populations have greatly declined, and many species are now listed as rare and endangered. The United States and Canada negotiated a conservation agreement in 1999 that includes setting catch limits based upon ongoing scientific assessments of salmon population levels. In addition, multiple-approach conservation efforts are under way in Washington and Oregon states to restore the salmon runs. For reasons less well understood, and despite international conservation measures, Atlantic salmon populations have also sharply declined. The desirability of salmon as food fish has led to their being raised in aquaculture.
Salmon are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Clupeiformes, family Salmonidae.
See A. Netboy, The Salmon: Their Fight for Survival (1973).
Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout. Salmon live in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes and other land locked lakes.
Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. However, there are rare species that can only survive in fresh water habitats. This is most likely due to the domestication of these certain species of Salmon. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn.
The salmon has long been at the heart of the culture and livelihood of coastal dwellers. Most peoples of the Northern Pacific shore had a ceremony to honor the first return of the year. For many centuries, people caught salmon as they swam upriver to spawn. A famous spearfishing site on the Columbia River at Celilo Falls was inundated after great dams were built on the river. The Ainu, of northern Japan, taught dogs how to catch salmon as they returned to their breeding grounds en masse. Now, salmon are caught in bays and near shore.
Salmon population levels are of concern in the Atlantic and in some parts of the Pacific but in Alaska stocks are still abundant. Fish farming is outlawed and the State of Alaska's fisheries management system is viewed as the global leader in the management of wild, sustainable fish stocks. The most important Alaska Salmon sustainable wild fisheries are located near the Kenai River, Copper River, and in Bristol Bay. In Canada, returning Skeena River wild salmon support commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries as well as the area's diverse wildlife on the coast and around communities hundreds of miles inland in the watershed. The Columbia River salmon population is now less than 3% of what it was when Lewis and Clark arrived at the river.
Both Atlantic and Pacific Salmon are important to recreational fishing around the world.
In Alaska, the crossing-over to other streams allows salmon to populate new streams, such as those that emerge as a glacier retreats. The precise method salmon use to navigate has not been entirely established, though their keen sense of smell is involved. In all species of Pacific salmon, the mature individuals die within a few days or weeks of spawning, a trait known as semelparity. However, even in those species of salmon that may survive to spawn more than once (iteroparity), post-spawning mortality is quite high (perhaps as high as 40 to 50%.)
In order to lay her roe, the female salmon uses her dorsal fin to excavate a shallow depression, called a redd. The redd may sometimes contain 5,000 eggs covering . The eggs usually range from orange to red in color. One or more males will approach the female in her redd, depositing his sperm, or milt, over the roe. The female then covers the eggs by disturbing the gravel at the upstream edge of the depression before moving on to make another redd. The female will make as many as 7 redds before her supply of eggs is exhausted. The salmon then die within a few days of spawning.
The eggs will hatch into alevin or sac fry. The fry quickly develop into parr with camouflaging vertical stripes. The parr stay for one to three years in their natal stream before becoming smolts which are distinguished by their bright silvery colour with scales that are easily rubbed off. It is estimated that only 10% of all salmon eggs survive long enough to reach this stage. The smolt body chemistry changes, allowing them to live in salt water. Smolts spend a portion of their out-migration time in brackish water, where their body chemistry becomes accustomed to osmoregulation in the ocean.
The salmon spend about one to five years (depending on the species) in the open ocean where they will become sexually mature. The adult salmon returns primarily to its natal stream to spawn. When fish return for the first time they are called whitling in the UK and grilse or peel in Ireland. Prior to spawning, depending on the species, the salmon undergoes changes. They may grow a hump, develop canine teeth, develop a kype (a pronounced curvature of the jaws in male salmon). All will change from the silvery blue of a fresh run fish from the sea to a darker color. Condition tends to deteriorate the longer the fish remain in freshwater, and they then deteriorate further after they spawn becoming known as kelts. Salmon can make amazing journeys, sometimes moving hundreds of miles upstream against strong currents and rapids to reproduce. Chinook and sockeye salmon from central Idaho, for example, travel over and climb nearly from the Pacific ocean as they return to spawn.
Each year, the fish experiences a period of rapid growth, often in summer, and one of slower growth, normally in winter. This results in rings (annuli) analogous to the growth rings visible in a tree trunk. Freshwater growth shows as densely crowded rings, sea growth as widely spaced rings; spawning is marked by significant erosion as body mass is converted into eggs and milt.
Freshwater streams and estuaries provide important habitat for many salmon species. They feed on terrestrial and aquatic insects, amphipods, and other crustaceans while young, and primarily on other fish when older. Eggs are laid in deeper water with larger gravel, and need cool water and good water flow (to supply oxygen) to the developing embryos. Mortality of salmon in the early life stages is usually high due to natural predation and human induced changes in habitat, such as siltation, high water temperatures, low oxygen conditions, loss of stream cover, and reductions in river flow. Estuaries and their associated wetlands provide vital nursery areas for the salmon prior to their departure to the open ocean. Wetlands not only help buffer the estuary from silt and pollutants, but also provide important feeding and hiding areas.
Salmon is a popular food. Consuming salmon is considered to be reasonably healthy due to the fish's high protein, high Omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon is also a source of cholesterol, ranging 23–214 mg/100g depending on the species. According to reports in the journal Science, however, farmed salmon may contain high levels of dioxins. PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) levels may be up to eight times higher in farmed salmon than in wild salmon. Omega-3 content may also be lower than in wild caught individuals, and in a different proportion to what is found naturally. Omega 3 comes in three types, ALA, DHA and EPA; wild salmon has traditionally been an important source of DHA and EPA, which are important for brain function and structure, among other things. This means that if the farmed salmon is fed on a meal which is partially grain then the amount of Omega 3 it contains will be present as ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). The body can itself convert ALA Omega 3 into DHA and EPA, but at a very inefficient rate (2–15%). Nonetheless, according to a 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the benefits of eating even farmed salmon still outweigh any risks imposed by contaminants Type of Omega 3 present may not be a factor for other important health functions. A simple rule of thumb is that the vast majority of Atlantic salmon available on the world market are farmed (greater than 99%), whereas the majority of Pacific salmon are wild-caught (greater than 80%). Farmed salmon outnumber wild salmon 85 to 1.
Salmon flesh is generally orange to red in colour, although there are some examples of white fleshed wild salmon. The natural colour of salmon results from carotenoid pigments, largely astaxanthin (E161j), in the flesh. Wild salmon get these carotenoids from eating krill and other tiny shellfish. Because consumers have shown a reluctance to purchase white fleshed salmon, astaxanthin, and very minutely canthaxanthin (E161g)), are added as artificial colorants to the feed of farmed salmon because prepared diets do not naturally contain these pigments. In most cases the astaxanthin is made chemically; alternatively it is extracted from shrimp flour. Another possibility is the use of dried red yeast, which provides the same pigment. However, synthetic mixtures are the least expensive option. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant that stimulates the development of healthy fish nervous systems and that enhances the fish's fertility and growth rate. Research has revealed canthaxanthin may have negative effects on the human eye, accumulating in the retina at high levels of consumption. Today the concentration of carotenoids (mainly canthaxanthin and astaxanthin) exceeds 8 mg/kg of flesh and all fish producers try to reach a level that represents a value of 16 on the "Roche Color Card", a colour card used to show how pink the fish will appear at specific doses. This scale is specific for measuring the pink colour due to astaxanthin and is not for the orange hue obtained with canthaxanthin. The development of processing and storage operations, which can be detrimental on canthaxanthin flesh concentration, has led to an increased quantity of pigments added to the diet to compensate for the degrading effects of the processing. In wild fish, carotenoid levels of up to 20–25 mg are present, but levels of canthaxanthin are, in contrast, minor.
Canned salmon in the U.S. is usually wild Pacific catch, though some farmed salmon is available in canned form. Smoked salmon is another popular preparation method, and can either be hot or cold smoked. Lox can refer either to cold smoked salmon or to salmon cured in a brine solution (also called gravlax). Traditional canned salmon includes some skin (which is harmless) and bone (which adds calcium). Skinless and boneless canned salmon is also available.
Raw salmon flesh may contain Anisakis nematodes, marine parasites that cause Anisakiasis. Before the availability of refrigeration, the Japanese did not consume raw salmon. Salmon and salmon roe have only recently come into use in making sashimi (raw fish) and sushi.
Many wild Salmon stocks have seen a marked decline in recent decades, especially north Atlantic populations which spawn in western European and eastern Canadian waters, and wild salmon of the Snake and Columbia River systems in the Northwest USA. The causes of these declines likely include a number of factors, among them:
There are efforts to relieve this situation. As such, several governments and NGOs are sharing in research and habitat restoration efforts.
Results overall are showing that estuary problems exist for some rivers, but issues involving feeding grounds at sea are impacting populations as well. In 2008 returns were markedly improved for Atlantic salmon on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but no one knows if this is a temporary improvement or sign of a trend.
Beavers' dams are able to nurture salmon juveniles in Estuarine tidal marshes where the salinity is less than 10ppm. Beavers build small dams of generally less than high in channels in the Myrtle zone. These dams can be overtopped at high tide and hold water at low tide. This provides refuges for juvenile salmon so they don't have to swim into large channels where they are subject to predation.
On a dry-dry basis, it takes 2-4 kg of wild caught fish to produce one kg of salmon. Salmon farms (feed lots actually, as there is no farming involved) introduce levels of untreated sewage into the ocean that has already been outlawed for sea side communities. This detritus is thought to contribute to toxic algal blooms and also has negative affects on local benthic communities.
Another form of salmon production, which is safer but less controllable, is to raise salmon in hatcheries until they are old enough to become independent. They are then released into rivers, often in an attempt to increase the salmon population. This practice was very common in countries like Sweden before the Norwegians developed salmon farming, but is seldom done by private companies, as anyone may catch the salmon when they return to spawn, limiting a company's chances of benefiting financially from their investment. Because of this, the method has mainly been used by various public authorities as a way of artificially increasing salmon populations in situations where they have declined due to overharvest, construction of dams, and habitat destruction or disruption. Unfortunately, there can be negative consequences to this sort of population manipulation, including genetic "dilution" of the wild stocks, and many jurisdictions are now beginning to discourage supplemental fish planting in favour of harvest controls and habitat improvement and protection. A variant method of fish stocking, called ocean ranching, is under development in Alaska. There, the young salmon are released into the ocean far from any wild salmon streams. When it is time for them to spawn, they return to where they were released where fishermen can then catch them. An alternative method to hatcheries is to use spawning channels. These are artificial streams, usually parallel to an existing stream with cement or rip-rap sides and gravel bottoms. Water from the adjacent stream is piped into the top of the channel, sometimes via a header pond to settle out sediment. Spawning success is often much better in channels than in adjacent streams due to the control of floods which in some years can wash out the natural redds. Because of the lack of floods, spawning channels must sometimes be cleaned out to remove accumulated sediment. The same floods which destroy natural redds also clean them out. Spawning channels preserve the natural selection of natural streams as there is no temptation, as in hatcheries, to use propholactic chemicals to control diseases.
Farm raised salmon are fed the carotenoids astaxanthin and canthaxanthin, so that their flesh color matches wild salmon.
According to Canadian biologist Dr. Dorothy Kieser, protozoan parasite Henneguya salminicola is commonly found in the flesh of salmonids. It has been recorded in the field samples of salmon returning to Queen Charlotte Island streams. The fish responds by walling off the parasitic infection into a number of cysts that contain milky fluid. This fluid is an accumulation of a large number of parasites.
Henneguya and other parasites in the myxosporean group have a complex lifecycle where the salmon is one of two hosts. The fish releases the spores after spawning. In the Henneguya case, the spores enter a second host, most likely an invertebrate, in the spawning stream. When juvenile salmon out-migrate to the Pacific Ocean, the second host releases a stage infective to salmon. The parasite is then carried in the salmon until the next spawning cycle. The myxosporean parasite that causes whirling disease in trout, has a similar lifecycle. However, as opposed to whirling disease, the Henneguya infestation does not appear to cause disease in the host salmon - even heavily infected fish tend to return to spawn successfully.
According to Dr. Kieser, a lot of work on Henneguya salminicola was done by scientists at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo in the mid-1980, in particular, an overview report which states that "the fish that have the longest fresh water residence time as juveniles have the most noticeable infections. Hence in order of prevalence coho are most infected followed by sockeye, chinook, chum and pink." As well, the report says that, at the time the studies were conducted, stocks from the middle and upper reaches of large river systems in British Columbia such as Fraser, Skeena, Nass and from mainland coastal streams in the southern half of B.C. "are more likely to have a low prevalence of infection." The report also states "It should be stressed that Henneguya, economically deleterious though it is, is harmless from the view of public health. It is strictly a fish parasite that cannot live in or affect warm blooded animals, including man".
According to Klaus Schallie, Molluscan Shellfish Program Specialist with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, "Henneguya salminicola is found in southern B.C. also and in all species of salmon. I have previously examined smoked chum salmon sides that were riddled with cysts and some sockeye runs in Barkley Sound (southern B.C., west coast of Vancouver Island) are noted for their high incidence of infestation."
As noted above, the Lepeophtheirus salmonis, a sea louse, causes deadly infestations of farm-grown and wild salmon. On the Pacific coast of Canada, the louse-induced mortality of pink salmon is commonly over 80%.
Atlantic ocean species belong to the genus Salmo. They include,
The salmon is also one of the incarnations of both Tuan mac Cairill and Fintan mac Bóchra.
In Welsh mythology, the salmon of Llyn Llyw is the oldest animal in the world. King Arthur and his knights are charged with finding Mabon ap Modron, and consult several animals—an ousel, a stag, an owl and an eagle—before finding the salmon, who lets Cai and Bedwyr ride its back to the walls of Mabon's prison in Gloucester.
In Norse mythology, when Loki, god of mischief and strife, tricked Hod the blind god into killing Baldr, god of beauty and light, Loki jumped into a river and transformed himself into a salmon in order to escape punishment from the other gods. When they held out a net to trap him he attempted to leap over it but was caught by Thor who grabbed him by the tail with his hand, and this is why the salmon's tail is tapered.
Salmon are central to Native American mythology on the Pacific coast, from the Haida to the Nootka.

Trintignant at the New York Film Forum
Wednesday, 12th Dec 2012
New York's Film Forum independent cinema has curated a special two week programme, paying tribute to the films of actor Jean-Louis Trintignant. The showcase features nineteen examples from the actor's expansive body of work, including his performance opposite Brigitte Bardot in Roger Vadim's 1956 classic: And God Created Woman.
Though Trintignant's early roles often saw him cast as the romantic lead, his on-screen persona has since been defined by his performances as cool, detached assassins. The actor's thoughtful and enigmatic characterisations made him popular with acclaimed French New Wave directors such as Francois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol, as well as a starring role in Italian master Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist (1971). The two-week season culminates with the opening of Trintignant's latest film, the Palme d'Or winning Amour by Michael Haneke.
The Film Forum's 'Trintignant' season is on now, until December 20th 2012. You can find more information HERE

For some time now, we have been covering the resurrection of the rustiest project car we have ever taken on. The '70 Chevelle XS convertible had seen better days (to say the least), but after countless hours of cutting, patching, grinding, and loads of new sheetmetal from Goodmark Industries, the car was ready for some color. Goodmark was founded in 1991, and for almost 20 years, its inventory has grown by leaps and bounds to keep pace with demand. That's a great thing for us, as we practically threw the Goodmark catalog at our rusty Chevelle.
The body has been stuck on a rotisserie while the body and paintwork have been going on, but by the end of this article, the hull will be atop one of Art Morrison Enterprises' killer chassis, getting us one step closer to completion. To have all this paintwork done, we enlisted the help of the skilled crew at Spitzer Concepts, which specializes in building street rods, pro touring machines, and restomods. These guys know their stuff, and their latest project—Jim Mitchell's '69 Plymouth Road Runner (dubbed "Road Rattler")—is a piece of automotive art. Feeling pretty confident on where project XS resides, we sent photographer extraordinaire Robert McGaffin to document the work.
The paints used for this project are from Axalta's (formerly known as DuPont) ChromaPremier line. This line of products has a few things going for it that appeal to the paint and body shops. Start at the Primer Filler, which has all the qualities of the high-build primer, with the curing times of a spot primer. All the products feature simple mix ratios for less chance for mixing errors.
Speaking of mixing, the primer, sealer, and clearcoat share a common activator, so there is a reduction in mixing issues and inventory needed. The activators are based on temperature ranges, and Axalta has one for just about any climate. The basecoat is offered in just about any hue imaginable, with solid metallic and pearlescent finishes available.
This story will cover the Spitzer Concepts crew as they epoxy, prime, and paint the interior, firewall, and underside of the XS Chevelle before they mount it to the Art Morrison chassis.
1. After the bodywork was complete and all areas were sanded with 800-grit paper, Bob Brown from Spitzer Concepts started masking off the surrounding areas of the quarter-panels and any area he didn't want painted at this point.
2. It's not necessary to cover the whole body. Just mask around the edges where the spray gun gets at the edge. Bob is using a coated paper instead of the normal uncoated paper, which you can tell by the shininess of said paper. The coated stuff allows the overspray to actually stick to the paper and hold on to it. The uncoated stuff can let the overspray turn to dust and release it back into the air, which could possibly show up on your next coat.
3. Once masked, the body is wheeled in the down-draft paint booth, and all areas to be painted are wiped with wax and grease remover. This removes impurities, allowing the epoxy sealer the perfect base to adhere to.
4. Axalta's ChromaPremier line of paints covers very well and is user friendly. Another cool feature is the 24-hour recoat window that allows you add a second coat from the moment the first coat flashes off up to 24 hours later. Axata recently purchased the DuPont line of paints, so you will see different labeling and a new Chromax name in the future. All the components in the can will be made by the same chemist in the same labs—even the part numbers will stay the same.
5. Epoxy Sealer is used at a mix of 2:1. This will provide excellent corrosion resistance and is the perfect base for the basecoat.
6. The sealer is sprayed with a SATAjet 4000 B RP, HVLP gun with a 1.3 tip in 50 percent overlapping passes. The first coat is left to flash for 15 minutes before the second coat is applied. After the second coat, the sealer was left to dry for 90 minutes.
7. Per the instruction sheet, the paint is mixed in a 1:1 ratio.
8. Two coats of Blaze Red were shot in the interior, trunk, and firewall. The bottom received three coats, all with 15 minutes flash time in between.
9. Clear is mixed 2:1 and can be sprayed 15 to 20 minutes after color is sprayed. It's loaded into the same SATAjet 4000 B RP gun.
10. The paint is applied by spraying 6-8 inches away from the panel in 50 percent overlapping strokes. The bottom and firewall were given three coats, and the interior and trunk received two coats apiece with 15-minute flash time in between.
11. The paint was left to dry overnight so it could be handled with no issues.

Hey guys, New to figure realms after finding the checklists through google (Which Are Awesome!). I just started collecting last month and already got some almost full collections of Newish Neca figures.
I just got the new Earthworm Jim Mezco FIgure and I found many older figures on Ebay but good luck finding a Pocket Rocket. There aren't many action figure stores left in my city and barely any stores online with older stuff.
So, I was wondering if you guys had any tips on finding those rare older figures? Google hasn't been much help at all.

The Tradition of Household Spirits: Ancestral Lore and Practices, by Claude Lecouteux, translated by Jon E. Graham
Inner Traditions, 1620551055, 227 pp. (incl. index and eight pages of colour plates), 2013
Ever since his first book, Witches, Werewolves and Fairies: Shapeshifters and Astral Doubles in the Middle Ages in 1992, I've quite enjoyed Claude Lecouteux's work.
Claude Lecouteux is a French historian specialising in the Middle Ages and its understanding of the spiritual world, the chair of German civilization and Literature of the Middle Ages, and a professor emeritus, at the Paris-Sorbonne University.
The Tradition of Household Spirits: Ancestral Lore and Practices was initially published in French in 2000 as La Maison et ses Génies: Croyances d'Hier et d'Aujourd'hui. Personally, I find the French title more apt, since it more clearly describes the content, but that's a fairly minor quibble on my part. In the original French, this was Lecouteux's fifth book published. However the English translation are being published in a different order, and this is the seventh book released in English.
The first part of the book begins with the actual house, while the second part of the book turns to the spirits themselves. This is followed by a brief exploration of the notion of haunted houses, and a few appendixes about proverbs associated with household spirits and a few other odds and ends. Continue reading

By Tessa Raebeck
As a child growing up in Little Falls, New York, Richard Buckley was eager to learn about the Native American tribes that lived nearby, but the materials he could find were minimal, ill advised and uninformed.
"It didn't seem right to me the way they were describing it," explained Buckley, who, rather than settling for subpar information, spent the next 40 years compiling an extensive collection of books, journals and other research on — and by — Native Americans.
On November 13, Buckley and his wife, former United States Ambassador Prudence Bushnell, packed his entire collection of 23 boxes into the back of their pick-up truck and drove from their home in Northern Virginia to Despatch Self Storage in Bridgehampton, where Catherine Creedon excitedly awaited their arrival.
After a deliberate screening process of potential libraries in New York State, Buckley decided to donate his collection to the John Jermain Memorial Library (JJML) in Sag Harbor, where Creedon is director, because he knew they would be appreciated, complemented and, most importantly, used.
Buckley, who worked as a lawyer before concentrating primarily on his research and academic lecturing, estimates his collection includes some 350 materials. The most historically significant part of the collection is the inclusion of four journals on Native American history, to which Buckley has subscribed since their respective inceptions.
He began subscribing to the American Indian Culture and Research Journal when it was first published in 1979, and the journals now fill four boxes.
The journals "give an incredible amount of new history," said Buckley. "History that had never been written from the viewpoint of American Indians."
"These journals," he continued, "have covered everything from the history to the current preservation of Native American tribes throughout the '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000s. If someone were to read those journals, they could write a thesis."
The collection also includes 15 boxes of books on Native Americans, separated by topics such as women, Iroquois and "Excellent/General Overviews."
In compiling his collection, Buckley first tackled the Native American history of New York State, moving on to the entire continental United States and eventually to Alaska and Latin America. The collection also includes extensive documentation of the present condition of Native Americans.
"That is probably the underlying value of the collection," explained Buckley, "to have that approach of — both historically and currently — the ongoing evolution of American Indian history…. The collection's value is to show that American Indians are not only here, but they're living out their history, they're living out their story."
Once his collection was complete with an extensive variety of viewpoints from both men and women across different regions, tribes and cultures, Buckley faced the daunting task of deciding where his work belonged.
"What I did was," he explained, "because I didn't want these to go anywhere, I wanted them to be in a certain library — when I contacted [the libraries], I'd then know whether it was the right fit."
At first, Buckley put a notice in the regional library system of central New York, where he grew up. Without any quick responses, he sent the notice to the statewide system.
Within a few days, he was on the phone with Cathy Creedon.
"By the initial interest," he said, "I could see that she was really interested and they were looking for something to complement the new renovation and the newly restored old beautiful building."
Since JJML opened in 1910, the History Room has been an integral part of the library. It started with rare materials from the personal library of William Wallace Tooker, a Sag Harbor pharmacist who was also an ethnographer with an interest in Algonquin history. Tooker's collection in JJML includes the Eliot Indian Bible, a bible in the Algonquin language that was the first bible printed in the colonies.
After unloading the 23 boxes into a storage unit, Creedon gave Buckley a tour of the new building, including the history room, which once completed will be climate-controlled, humidity-controlled and temperature-controlled.
"The tour of the library was the final proof that my donation will 'fit' with the future use of the library — particularly the special research room," said Buckley. "The primary reason for donating the collection to [JJML] is Cathy. She will ensure that the collection is used in the most effective manner."
In a message to Creedon, Buckley envisioned his collection in Sag Harbor.
"I imagined," he wrote, "that you would have at the opening of your beautiful library — a researcher would be reserving the special room and using the American Indian collection. She will complete a new powerful book about the contributions of Indian women."
"I thought that was a real tribute to the role of a public library," said Creedon.

This is probably my fifth order and everthing is always beautiful. Even down to the packaging!!
Great quality leather, sturdy and color is great!
I ordered this for myself; I love Leatherology's quality. However, the hinged end is too loose. I would inadvertently knock against it or something would in my purse, and the key on that end would come off. The other (round) end is nice and tight and works fine, but the "hook" end has too loose a hinge. I did inquire but the Leatherology rep said there was nothing that could be done. Too bad because it's just what I was looking for!
Extremely well made, very durable. Nice color.
You were a great company to work with! Item lovely and delivery prompt-especially for this time of year. I think my daughter will be thrilled with this present!!
My husband loved this for an anniversary gift - stylish and the monogram was nice as well
I'm fussy about quality & appearance. This keychain is just great, and the color matches my bag!
I ordered a monogrammed business card case as a gift for Christmas and was so pleased with the quality of the leather and blind embossing that I promptly ordered this keychain and a luggage tag shortly after. I ordered the keychain in grape, even though the shade of purple was a little light for my liking on-screen. Luckily, the purple ended up being a little darker in person, which was perfect. The lovely packaging is the icing on the cake. Would love to see Leatherology add some metallic shades to their leather range, as well as some fitted leather cases for iPhone.
This is the second year I ordered Christmas gifts for my bosses from Leatherology. I came back because of the excellent quality and excellent service. This year, I gave each of my male bosses for Christmas, a valet keychain embossed with their initials. They were very pleased and delighted (it was almost embarrassing). Till next Christmas, Leatheloroly... And soon I'll have to order something for myself. Thanks!
I gave this item as a Christmas gift this year. The recipient was thrilled with the bright color (easy to locate) and since she is an older woman, she enjoyed the easy to use clasp.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Exchange Network
How the Exchange Network works:
The Environmental Information Exchange Network (or Exchange Network) is an Internet-based system used to exchange environmental and health data among EPA, states, tribes and territories, and other partners.
The Exchange Network allows EPA and its partners to communicate with each other across the Internet. Partners can send and receive environmental data using Nodes. EPA's Node on the Exchange Network is called the Central Data Exchange.
Upon agreement, partners enter their data into Data Exchange Templates to ensure data is standardized. Schemas help define how data should be entered so that information is presented clearly and consistently from all partners. The end result is improved data quality, better integration across different sources, programs and databases, and increased availability of data.
Computers that allow EPA and its partners (e.g. states, tribes, territories) to communicate using the Internet. Nodes are connection points that enable EPA and its partners to send and receive data. These Nodes can transmit and receive information from one organization to another without human intervention. Nodes can also respond automatically to requests for data from other partners.
Data Exchange
Template (DET)
Data exchange templates list a schema's data elements with their definition and validation rules. They also give examples of data content. A DET is a more human readable version of the XML schema. They help implementers map their data to the schema. This model DET will help schema developers create DETs and schema for new data exchanges.
XML Schema
XML schemas are the software framework defining the data elements and rules in a data exchange. They define the structure, content and semantics of XML documents, which facilitate Node-to-Node exchanges of data among Network partners. Click here for more information on XML schemas and how to develop them to meet Exchange Network standards and guidelines.
