Regulations.gov and the Federal Docket Management System (PDF) (28pp, 2.3MB)
eRulemaking is a federal-wide initiative aimed at facilitating access to proposed regulations, simplifying public comment submission, and eliminating duplicate systems across the federal government. Like EDOCKET/RME, this new system will allow the public to search, view, download, and submit comments on proposed EPA rules. This fall the federal-wide electronic docket management system (FDMS) that will use Regulations.gov as its public face, will replace EDOCKET. Learn how to use this new system to post proposed and final rules, notices of data availability and many other Federal Register publications. This course will be especially beneficial to Agency or Department Rulewriters, Docket Managers and Docket Administrators.
Cross-Media Electronic Reporting & Rule (CROMERR) (PDF) (42pp, 112KB)
Attendees will learn general information about CROMERR, why it was developed, and how it is being implemented. The majority of the course will focus on states, tribes, territories, and local governments that have delegated programs. Information about why the regulation is important to delegated programs, how to prepare an application (what should be included), and how the application will be reviewed for approval will be discussed. This will be an interactive course and participants will be provided with fact sheets, frequently asked questions, and other materials to assist them.
Introduction to Performance Measurement (PDF) (67pp, 271KB)
Through a combination of instruction and hands-on exercises, class participants will learn how to develop performance measures using a logic model approach. During the class, participants will: develop a common understanding of performance measurement terminology, learn about the different types of measures, and learn how to identify, assess and choose the appropriate measures. Through a combination of "homework" (completed prior to the workshop) and in-class work, participants will leave the workshop with two tangible products including: 1) a draft logic model of their program or project and, 2) a draft list of potential performance measures.

Working in coal mines
As coal mines became deeper, so they also became even more dangerous. Mining employed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children, working in appalling conditions.
Coal improved people's living standards. It could be used for heating and cooking, or distilled to produce gas for lighting. Rail and water transport relied on coal, making travel easier for many people.
But although living standards were raised, the human price of coal was high.

How to use this.. Its easy. You only need 1 no matter how many LED modules you add. By Shawn on 11/7/2012Shawn would recommend this product to a friendAs always, it takes a little trial and error to figure out how things work.
1. You only need 1 of these upgrade kits no matter how many additional LED modules you are adding to your vertex light. All of the necessary screws and thermal paste come in your LED module box.
2. The only thing this upgrade kit does is provide a plastic guide mechanism and two hex tools of different sizes.. for correctly placing your LED module on your vertex LED light bar. Vertex would be better off changing the name of this product... from upgrade kit... to installation guide kit (Need only 1).
Overall this very low cost product makes the installation of a red or UV LED module quite easy. (I can't find green in stock at any site). The upgrade kit is perfectly aligned to allow easy manipulation of your new LED pads.
1. Simply apply thermal paste to the back of your LED module.
2. Align the LED module in the spot you want. (Allowing for cable connection)
3. Apply pressure to spread thermal paste. (creating contact)
4. Tighten screws
5. Connect cable
6. Vertex software auto detects new modules when you turn LED bar on. You get full control over all red and UV modules.

Whereas the previous sonnet compared the past with the present, Sonnet 107 contrasts the present with the future. The poet's favorite theme of immortality through poetic verse dominates the sonnet.
In the first quatrain, the poet contends that his love for the young man is immortal. Although neither he nor "the prophetic soul" knows what the future holds, the poet maintains that only one thing is certain: his continuing affection for the youth, "Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom." The duration of the poet's love cannot be predicted. Nothing, he says, "Can yet the lease of my true love control." His love is not subject to time, nor controlled by uncertainty about the youth, nor by death itself.
In the second and third quatrains, the poet catalogues various images that emphasize endurance over change. These images parallel his immutable love for the youth, which he expands on when he claims that even death holds no sway over him and his sonnets: "I'll live in this poor rime, / While he insults o'er dull and speechless tribes." Other people — "tribes" — may succumb to time's decay but not the poet.
The final couplet speaks of the young man's deliverance from tyranny and death by means of the sonnets, a now-familiar theme of the poet's. Antithetical images of events, changing from peaceful, stable times to turmoil and civil strife, are of no concern to the poet, who asserts, as he does elsewhere, that the young man will triumph over all that the future has to offer: "And thou in this shalt find thy monument / When tyrants' crests and tombs of brass are spent." Poetry becomes prophecy.

A cardiac perfusion scan is usually done in a hospital radiology or
nuclear medicine department, a doctor's office, or at an outpatient clinic. The
test is done by a doctor and technologist trained in
nuclear medicine.
For resting scans, in which you do not exercise, you will be
asked to remove your clothing above the waist, and you will be given a hospital
gown to wear. Electrodes might be attached to your chest to keep track of
your heartbeats.
You will have a very thin tube, called an IV, going into your arm or hand. A small amount of the
radioactive tracer will be put in the IV.
You will lie on your back on a table with a large camera
positioned above your chest. The camera records the tracer's signals as it
moves through your blood. The camera does not produce any radiation, so you are
not exposed to any additional radiation while the scan is being done.
You will be asked to remain very still during each scan, which
takes 5 to 10 minutes. The camera will move to take more pictures at different
angles. Several scans will be taken.
The entire test takes 30 to 40 minutes, after which you can
resume your normal activities.
The stress scan is done in two parts. In many hospitals, the
first images are taken while the person is at rest. Then a second set of images
is taken after the person is given a medicine such as adenosine,
which makes the heart respond like it would to exercise. Sometimes the stress scan is done first and the resting scan might be done the next day.
A stress test with
medicine is usually used when a person cannot exercise for some reason.
For this test, you will be asked to sit or lie on the examining
table and you will be given a routine electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG), which takes
about 5 to 10 minutes.
Then you will be given the medicine through your IV. You may get a
headache and feel dizzy, flushed, and nauseated from the medicine, but these
symptoms usually do not last long. Additional EKGs and blood pressure
measurements are often taken. After the medicine takes effect (about 4
minutes), a small amount of radioactive tracer is given through your IV.
You will wait about 30 to 60 minutes. You might be asked to eat or drink something. Then you will lie down
on a table for a set of scans. The camera records the tracer's signals as it
moves through your blood. The camera does not produce any radiation, so you are
not exposed to any more radiation while the scan is being done.
Sometimes more pictures are taken after you rest for 2 to 4
hours. Most people can resume their normal diet and activities after the final set of
For stress scans using exercise, your heart rate will be checked
with an
electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). Because EKG electrodes need
to be attached to the chest to check the heart, men are usually bare-chested
and women usually wear a bra, gown, or loose shirt. For more information, see
the topic Electrocardiogram.
The exercise stress scan is done in two parts. First a set of
resting images is taken, then a set of stress images is taken immediately after
exercise. Sometimes the stress scan is done first and the resting scan might be done the next day.
In many hospitals, first resting pictures are taken using one type of
tracer. More pictures are taken using a different tracer after your heart has
been stressed by exercise.
In this stress test, you exercise on a treadmill or stationary
bike. Your heart rate will be checked during the test with standard
electrocardiography. Your blood pressure is checked using a blood pressure cuff
placed on your arm. For more information, see the topics
Exercise Electrocardiogram and
You will begin by walking or pedaling slowly and easily. Every
few minutes, the speed or incline of the treadmill or resistance of the bike
may be increased. You will exercise until you need to stop or until you reach a
suitable heart rate. At that point, you will be given a different tracer medicine through your IV.
You will probably continue to exercise for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to
circulate the radioactive tracer.
You will then lie down on a table for scanning. Each scan takes 5
to 10 minutes. The camera does not produce any radiation, so you are not
exposed to any additional radiation while the scan is being done.
Sometimes more pictures are taken after you rest for 30 minutes
to 4 hours. In some hospitals, you are given more radioactive tracer several hours after exercise and before the final image.
Most people can resume their normal diet and activities after the
final set of scans.

Rail Safety Group Seeking More Concessions
The offer from Burlington Northern to the city of La Crosse apparently won't be the last word on whether a second set of tracks gets built through the city. BNSF has offered expensive improvements if the city backs off of legal challenges. But the city isn't ready to accept that offer. Good thing, says Maureen Freedland, with the group Citizens Acting for Rail Safety. Because the city needs more protection from rail hazards
Freedland's group is also recommending fines for Burlington Northern for trains stuck at crossings for more than ten minutes.

COVINGTON - The Christmas tree in the lobby of the Newton County Library is more than a decoration for the holiday season - it's also a fundraiser.For the fourth year, Friends of the Newton County Library is sponsoring a Gift Tree at the library until Jan. 2. "It was started from an idea that one of the staff members saw at another library in the United States," said Greg Heid, director of the library. "We thought it was a great idea." The tree is decorated with paper ornaments, each printed with the name of a book or audio visual item and the amount it costs to buy that item. Paperback books are listed for $10, children's books for $20, adult books for $25, DVD titles for $20, audio books on cassette or CDs for $75 or a general donation of any amount. "We have a lot of people giving between $10 and $25, but we've also had some $50 ones," Heid said. As of Thursday afternoon, the fundraiser already had collected about $1,500, Heid said. He said making the donation only takes a couple of minutes. Guests who choose to donate can pick a specific title from the library's Wish List or choose one of their own. Along with the donation, guests can have their name or another person's name put on a book plate that will be placed on a book or DVD when it arrives at the library in mid- to late January. "Donating to the library by buying a book or video is a perfect gift for anyone on your Christmas list who you cannot think what to get for them," said C. C. Bates, president of the Friends of the Newton County Library, in a statement released by the library. "I encourage everyone to help purchase titles for the library." All money raised will go toward the purchase of books which will be ordered from select vendors. "We do get discounts, so we get a good bang for our buck," Heid said. He said the Friends usually present the library with the money the first week in January, and the library will purchase the books over the first two weeks in January and send out thank you letters to those who donated. Last year, the Gift Tree raised $2,500 to purchase 120 books, paperbacks and DVDs for the Children's Room and general collections at the library. "We hope to raise more than $2,600 this year for the library," Bates said. Heid said what the library chooses to buy next year will determine how many items will be bought. "Some years we have had to buy encyclopedia sets; some years we want to beef up a certain section," he said. Heid said the library receives about $160,000 each year from the county, city of Covington and Newton County School Systems, as well as any other money the Friends raise through memberships, book sales and author visits. "We rely a great deal on the Friends of the Library to help us purchase newer books and other materials for our growing population to read or view," Heid said, adding that the library is home to 142,000 items. The library also receives funds from sales of its used books and grants it receives. Heid said the extra help from the Gift Tree allows the library to purchase books and other items it otherwise wouldn't receive. "We are so fortunate to have Friends of the Library and the citizens of Newton County to help us during this time of giving," he said. "Every dollar that can be raised through the efforts of the Friends' Gift Tree brings many dollars worth of benefits to the community."

Phuket Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa
Mission Hills has been carved from rubber plantations and sits among Phuket's environmentally-friendly mangroves.
Great expanses of white sand beach bunkers have been added to contrast with the translucent blue hues of the ocean and the vibrant greens of the Sea Isle grassed fairways and putting surfaces.
It is accurately described as a "piece of living art," the kind of pastiche that Vincent Van Goh would have created given half a chance and a love of a long drive. The ocean views are delivered at a price: water comes in to play at seven holes.
The sea breezes also are a regular feature. What time of day you choose to play can turn a following zephyr into a stiff headwind.
While the spa awaits at the 19th hole, stress and tiredness are further banished with caddies and golf carts both being compulsory. It is not unknown for snacks to be delivered out on the course at lunchtime.
The first class golf course is fittingly complimented by a 5-star clubhouse facilities & services, and resort hotel & spa.
The comprehensive golfing facilities include modern& spacious locker rooms, natural driving range, practiced putting green, and fully equipped Pro shop.
At the luxurious clubhouse's restaurant & cafe, one can choose and dine delicious Thai & International cuisine, or relax at the Resort's swimming pool and Spa.
|Top Holes
Hole 4 (Par 3, HCP 18)
The green sets up as an island of grass in a sea of sand for this par 3. This golf hole is best played with a slight draw around the front greenside bunker, especially if the pin is situated back left.
For the golfers that push the ball out to the right, they will find a very tricky pitch back to the green from an uneven lie.
Hole 2 (Par 5, HCP 12)
This medium length par 5 requires two well placed shots to give players a comfortable third shot into the island green.
To get to the green in two, a tee shot down the left side over the sandy waste is needed to give the best angle into the green The island is shared by the green for hole number five and large enough to tempt even the most conservative golfer.
|Price Details
- Above price is price per person in Thai Baht.
- Every golfer must be accompanied by one caddie. Hiring of caddie(s) is compulsory.
- Each golfer of non-package reserved, could do the payment for his caddie at the pro-shop directly.
- All fees include 7% VAT and 10% Service Tax and subject to change without notice.

Not medium resistance
These have worked fine in my aqua-aerobics class but I bought a majority of the cords based on the assertions they were medium resistance. They are not, at least according to most of the class (Age range: 51-82). They are more appropriately called light resistance in our opinion. Nevertheless, by shortening the grip on them (not using the handle), they work beautifully for our needs. Just wish I had bought only one to test out first. I would have gone with the blue for most of the class.

what I expected
Good resistance. Happy with purchase
Great intermediate resistance band!
Since our corporate center no longer offers resistance bands for purchase we have been searching for another vendor and have found nothing under $15 to $25. We found these bands at a much more reasonable price and they are working great for us and our customers. Love the cushioned handles which many of the competitors no longer carry.

I use this product every day after my high school swim practice and it's great. Its literally like having a pool in your house. The only knock is that there not that big, but that is really insignifigant

The White Flower Necklace
It has been too hot here in Rome even to think about working on something..
Moreover I've been on holiday for a while and wanted just to relax without doing anything!
Now, I've got something new for you:
A very dainty necklace made by three chains with leaves and a white flower, that closes by a crochet ring behind the flower through which pass the strands.
It was quite hard to explain it, but I hope you'll understand this pattern.
For any problem just contact me, and I'll be happy to help!
Here it is:
4.00mm hook
Cream White Cotton yarn (worsted weight) for the flower
Green Cotton yarn (worsted weight) for the stems and ring
The Necklace:
Crochet Ring:
Wind the yarn 5 times around the left hand's forefinger and the middle finger.
Insert the hook under the 5 strands in the direction of the palm, yarn over hook and fasten the strands with a simple crochet stitch.
Work 24 sc in the ring made by the 5 strands.
Sl st to first sc to close ring.
Don't cut the yarn.
Three Stems with Leaves:
1st Stem: Chain 115.
Leaf: Sc in second chain from hook, 1hdc, 1dc, 1 hdc, 1sc. Turn and work 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc in the opposite side of the just worked stitches. Sl st to first sc to close the leaf. Cut yarn and weave in end.
2nd Stem: Attach yarn on the sc of the ring that is next to the first stem chain. Chain 105.
Work as for the first leaf.
3rd Stem: Attach yarn on the sc of the ring that is next to the second stem chain. Chain 125.
Work as for the first leaf.
The Flower:
Bottom Layer:
Chain 3, sl st to make ring.
Chain 3 and work 11 dc in ring. Sl st to third chain of beginning ch3. (12dc)
*4dc in next dc, sc in next dc*. Repeat from * but ending with a sl st on last dc to close round.
Cut yarn and weave in end.
Top layer:
Chain 4, sl st to make ring.
*Chain 3 and sc in ring*, repeat from* four times more. Sl st to close round. (You'll have 5 petals)
Work in each chain loop of previous round: 1sc, 3dc, 1sc.
Cut yarn and weave in end.
Sew the two flower leyers together, the top layer on the bottom one, and sew a nice button on the center.
Sew the flower between the ring and the three stems chains, leaving a space in the ring through which you'll pass the three strands to fasten you necklace around your neck!
Hope you'll enjoy!

What a great project! I just made it- took about an hour all together- and I can't wait to wear it tomorrow! I had some scrap sock yarn in some great colors, so I tried it, and it made a nice smaller/delicate version. The only thing I had to do differently was add a few more chains to the stems.
Thanks for the wonderful pattern- I can't wait to try out your others!

Could you by chance post a close up of the flower? My bottom piece has 6 petals, is that correct?
- November 3, 2008 at 1:06 PM
- creativeyarn said...
Hi Mandie, that's correct, the flower's bottom layer has 6 petals and the top one only five!!This way you can sew the top layer with each petal laying in the space between two bottom petals.

I am new to crochet-ing and flower making =) On the top layer, when it says "chain loop" does the SC count towards that, or am I just working in the 3 chains I made before SC'ing into the center of the flower.
BTW your patterns are all very beautiful I love this necklace and the headband too, well all of your patterns are amazing!!

I run a theatre group for children and I used this pattern to make part of the costumes for the fairies in our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (in Greek). I used the flowers separately to make headresses, making lots of them in pastels, silvers and gold and then sewing them together as a helmet with stem and leaf trailers on the tops, skirts and cloaks. Fantastic! Thank you very much.

Love it! I made one up very quickly and it looks very pretty and vintage. The only part that was hard to understand was how/where exactly to sew the flower onto the ring...so not sure if I did it per the pattern, but it worked the way I did it anyway. I LOVE THIS and will be making them in all different colors!
- November 24, 2010 at 11:08 PM

I LOVE THIS! I had a bit of trouble figuring out where/how to sew the flower on, but I just "winged" it and it works the way I did it. Just not sure if I did it the "correct" way. I love this though and will be making lots of colors!

Perhaps I´m a bit slow but could you explain the following:
Wind the yarn 5 times around the left hand's forefinger and the middle finger.
Insert the hook under the 5 strands in the direction of the palm, yarn over hook and fasten the strands with a simple crochet stitch.
I can understand winding the yard around the forefinger and inserting the hook, but where and how and why do I need to insert it in the middle finger?

Hi, Just a beginner on crocheting. I'd like to get some clarification. After I close the crochet ring with a slipped stitch, do I continue with that yarn to chain 115 or do I keep the crochet ring off to the side? Thanks so much!

I love this! Only problem, can you take photos of this in progress? I am a visual person and reading these directions is more than I can handle. Like, the 5x around the fingers and then do something with a crochet hook. I can crochet anything, but can't follow written directions. Help!
- April 19, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Hi, I love this pattern and I want to try making this. However, I don't under how to make a Crochet Ring which is the very first step for this pattern. Can someone explain to me please? Thanks in advance!
- May 14, 2012 at 6:15 AM
Help! I made it and it is lovely. But I must have done something wrong, because it will not stay in place around my neck. The weight of the flower causes it to gradually slip down the stems. I left an opening at the top and bottom of the stem circle. I put the stems through the top and the bottom. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for further instruction!

"The selection is so great that I can always find the perfect design, font, and color scheme to go with my photo. And the quality of the paper is top notch. I'm always late in ordering my holiday cards so the fact that they always come earlier than expected is a bonus :)"
"I have never done the personalized card thing before, so I was not sure what to expect. The prints were gorgeous! Thank you, I wish I had ordered more than 15. I will be using tiny prints again and again."
"I love the quality of the paper and printing. Nice weight to the card. Family and Friends enjoyed receiving our Christmas card."
"I used this card as a New Year's card. The design professional adjusted the writing ever to slightly to fully enhance the details of my photo. Many compliments from friends on completed card, nice stock, quality coloring."
"This card came in a couple color options which I thought was great to correspond with the picture I picked. The quality of this paper was exactly what I expected it was thick like card stock and not like a photo which I enjoyed so it didn't bend. I was also able to write nicely on the back without it showing or making engravement type markings on the front side. The picture came out great and was not distorted or different color quality than the original which was my worry when ordering. I am so happy with this product."

That photo makes me sick to my stomach. Right now I could care less about BP. I could care less about Obama. I care about the shrimpers, and oystermen, and the people that scratch out a living on the Gulf. Obama doesen't know anything about the culture or the way of life. Right now I just want to help stop this mess and save the Gulf. This is going to be decades long recovery. It makes me physically ill.
I hope the fish are biting at the Big mouth! We are headed that way next weekend! Gonna drop by LuLu's for happy hour and some PBR's! later!

|I took me awhile to figure out installation. I thought I had to drill holes but the "butterfly" fit into the existing post holes and then everything came together. I did have to buy a new hex wrench for the larger sizes needed. It probably took an hour, not counting trip to hardware store for hex wrench. I am very pleased with the results. It is very securely fastened and very sturdy. I would recommend it to others.

|I was very disappointed with the fact it wasn't made for a quick installation or removal. I expected it to fit the openings in my RAM 1500; I had to remove the bed-liner and drill 2 holes in the bed to install the unit near the cab.

|I have purchased this item for a Christmas gift for myself, and I'm loving it! Easy install. Universal design makes it so. With the jet black paint, looks sharp against the silver finish of my truck. A must have if you have extra long items that need to be hauled. Only wish that it had a support beam that connected the front to back (for extra tie supports, etc). Definitely a great buy for the money and will definitely come back to the site for additional purchases.

|If you do not have open cargo rack channels in your truck bed rails, you must drill 3/8" holes - 4 at a minimum. I ended up drilling 8. With 8 bolts plust the clamp on bolts, the rack is VERY stable.

|When looking for a rack to install on my 2011 F150 short bed I was interested in ease of installation with no drilling envolved. So I naturally was attracted to the product because it stated emphatically that no drilling was needed. Well that's not exactly the truth, I did have to drill for each rail post position down through the side rail of the truck bed, one 3/8 hole at each spot. I thought, here we go again and was sure I'd been ripped. I proceeded any way because I didn't want to pack this thing up and ship it back and deal with the potential of fightin for a refund. Bottom line when I finished I was amazingly supprised and pleased that it turned out strong and sturdy. I would recommend this product. Now I know that I can intsall and remove it in minutes. And by the way I tried to click on the 'average' star for ease of installation, yet found it difficult to rate below 'good'. Go figure!

You wouldn't know a "fact" if it smacked you in the face. We don't want it, & we're going to …
Now this is a "bipartisan" plan we can all get behind. Question is: How do we make it happen?
Let's ALL op-out!


text:
1) WHen I checked, mine was on, so may not be opt-in. Turned it off for grins.
2) I am way more concerned over what ATT is collecting and we know that they are very accommodating to Big Brother.
3) Carrier IQ has the word Carrier in it, so I assume the data it collects goes to the carriers, not Apple.
So I don't consider I am safe. However if you've paid attention we haven't been safe on the internets for over a decade.
Daily Tip: How to make sure you've opted-out of Carrier IQ-style diagnostics on iPhone
iOS 5 on the iPhone has Carrier IQ-style diagnostic information sharing turned off by default, but as part of the on-device setup process, asks you if you'd be willing to opt-in and share the data with Apple. If you did that, or aren't sure what you did, but now want to make sure you're opted out of anything even remotely Carrier IQ-esque, here's how to do that.
- Launch Settings
- Tap General
- Tap About
- Scroll down and tap on Diagnostics & Usage
- Tap Don't Send
That's it, you're done. If you're curious what kind of data is being stored locally on your device, whether or not you choose to share it with Apple, tap on Diagnostic & Usage Data.
Mine contains a bunch of crash logs from AirVideo, a ton of low memory reports, some weirdness from Messages, Mail, and Twitter, and some games.
Either way, while it currently looks like Apple does include Carrier IQ in iOS, it seems they aren't polling very deeply, and what data they are collecting is opt-in instead of opt-out (which is great) and can easily be turned off entirely via the steps above.
If you have any other privacy, security, or tips in general, let us now!

Daily Tip: How to make sure you've opted-out of Carrier IQ-style diagnostics on iPhone
Hope people know this doesn't turn off or get rid of CarrierIQ. This is apples own diagnostic tool. People who have jailbroken phones can go through the filesystem and see if CarrierIQ is installed. So far looks like its not on a Bell(canada) iPhone 4 with 5.01. Which doesn't surprise me, everything looks like this is isolated in the US.
If it helps Apple make a better product, I'm all for sharing. The worst they may find is that I don't play the games I've bought enough.
It is a root kit it so it's harder to put your own version on, sorry but it wasn't done at a local cell store, apple used to delete apps off the iPhone. No one ever though why there is no good security suites? Personally don't care but it scares me more that they " don't support it" so all it takes is someone with a little brains to start collecting your data. I love electronics I'm not a pc or a Mac guy, but if you own a Mac that has Intel as a CPU your running the same software except they are called "Absolute" it is a total government sham it's on any pc newer then 6 years. I know it's not a good source but wiki intel vpro, if you understand what your using it all makes sense. If the government didn't know about it any one that did would be in the ground, no one members Jobs giving Obama the first iPod 2?
