The expansion of roads in the Ogun State capital, Abeokuta, has commenced. Bulldozers began the demolition of houses and other structures last week. SEGUN OLATUNJI reports that mixed reactions have greeted the exercise by those who are affected and the opposition.
Shortly after he was sworn in as the Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun went round some parts of Abeokuta, the state capital, and said he was going to expand some roads.
Thereafter, some houses and other structures on the roads earmarked for expansion were marked for demolition. The residents affected had thought that work might not commence on them soon.
They were wrong. The demolition exercise began last Sunday.
Though Amosun had promised adequate compensation for those whose houses would be demolished, the pain of losing where one had lived for years or reared its head, hit them
The ongoing demolition exercise has been greeted with mixed feelings among residents, and the opposition parties -People's Democratic Party and the People's Party of Nigeria.
For some residents, it's a price to pay for infrastructural development, for others, the demolition of their houses has left in its trail sorrows and tears as they have not only lost their abodes but also their sources of livelihood.
Some traders at Itoku, Omida and Sapon markets have lost their shops and stalls to the exercise. They are in a fix because it came at a time when they had just stocked their shops with new wares in anticipation of the high sales usually recorded during the Yuletide season.
Last week, traders at Itoku Market, which is 100 years old, cried out that the proposed demolition of the market would ruin their businesses and means of livelihood.
The governor had visited the market penultimate Monday to warn the traders to vacate the area by Wednesday in order not to be caught unawares by the bulldozers.
The traders staged a peaceful protest and urged Amosun to give them more time and also provide them alternative space to carry on their business. They had pleaded to be spared till January, by the time they would have sold most of their wares.
The traders briefly blocked the Itoku Road while also expressing their disapproval of the ultimatum given them by the governor.
Chairman, cloth section,Itoku Market, Alhaji Sulaimon Fadipe, said many of them had just re-stocked their shops for the Yuletide with millions of naira and it would be a great loss to them if the market was demolished before that period.
The Iyaloja of Itoku Market, Chief Funmilola Ayorinde, claimed that due to the shocking news of the proposed demolition of the market, many of the traders at the market had developed various ailments and some had been hospitalised. She also pleaded for an extension till January.
A trader at Sapon Market, Emeka Ezendu, stated that the ongoing demolition exercise had ruined him and his business partners.
According to Ezendu, the short notice given them before the exercise commenced had left them with nowhere to go, adding that they had lost their shops and warehouses at the market as well as the one at Itoku Market.
Eighty-year-old Madam Funmi Osoba lamented that the demolition exercise had rendered her homeless and denied her the only means of livelihood.
The widow's apartment which also doubled as her shop for 30 years in the Onikolobo area has been demolished. She claimed she was yet to receive any form of compensation.
Similarly, 80-year-old blind Michael Abayomi is also in Osoba's shoes. He lost his only house in the Omida area of the state capital to the road expansion project. He pleaded for a compensation that would enable him put up another structure without hassles. However, it is not only the living that is feeling this pain of development, the dead too are affected.
A cemetery, which is equally almost a century old belonging to the Cathedral of Saint James African Church, Idi-Ape, Ago-Oko, Abeokuta, like all other structures located along the Federal Medical Centre Road, Idi-Aba has been marked for demolition. The proposed demolition of the part of the cemetery adjacent the road has placed the church and 42 families whose relations were buried there in a serious dilemma.
Consequently, this development has forced the authorities of the church to give the affected families up to November 27 to decide on what to do with the graves containing the remains of their loved ones, or risk a mass reburial of the dead ones as already being planned by the church.
Although the church has already informed 35 of the affected families, families of seven others could not be traced. One of the affected families heeded the call recently with the completion of the exhuming and reburial of the remains of late Madam Dorcas Abebi Omidiji who died 52 years ago.
The Cathedral Provost of the church, Venerable Samuel Adeyemi, in an interview with our correspondent, expressed the displeasure of the church authorities over the development.
He however said that there was nothing the church could do to stop the planned demolition.
"We felt bad about the development when we were first informed about it, but there is nothing we can do because we know that it's part of the development of the state. So, we cannot kick against it," he stated.
The provost, however, stated that the church may be compelled to give the remains of seven of those buried in the cemetery but whose relations could not trace a mass burial.
Relations of the deceased persons have however pleaded with the state government to assist them in defraying the cost of exhuming and reburying of their relations.
One of them, Kehinde Bankole, said his family would have to exhume and re-bury the remains of no fewer than eight deceased relations due to the ongoing demolition exercise.
Bankole pleaded with the state government to also consider some form of financial assistance to the affected families.
While commending the efforts of the state government to develop the state capital, he stressed the need for adequate information and prompt payment of compensations.
Similarly, another complainant, Ismail Gbemisola, claimed that his family would have to exhume and rebury the remains of four deceased relations from Sapon to Orile Ilugun.
He also pleaded with the governor to assist the affected families financially because "the cost of moving the remains is very high."
The state government has promised to pay the affected property owners compensation and has indeed started last week with the payment of about N88.07m to the 69 property owners affected by the expansion of the Agbeloba axis into a six-lane road.
This is part of the N10bn earmarked by the state government for the payment of compensation to the owners of the buildings already marked for demolition in the ongoing urban development of the state capital and other major cities in the state.
While addressing property owners in the Pansheke area of the state capital, Amosun said he was elated by the level of compliance by residents who had started vacating the affected properties.
He however assured shop owners and traders that they would be considered first in the allocation of shops in the shopping malls to be constructed by the government.
The Ogun State chapter Chairman of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners, Mr. Sola Adelakun, commended the rebuilding agenda of the state government which he said were geared towards ensuring an orderly, efficient and conducive environment in the state.
But the opposition parties in the state are not impressed by the Amosun administration's promise to pay the affected persons compensation.
For the Peoples Democratic Party, the Action Congress of Nigeria-led state government has been, "Ruthless, inhuman and insensitive in its execution of the road projects and urban development programme."
The Peoples' Party of Nigeria also described the ongoing demolition exercise as "Draconian, anti-people and a waste of the tax-payers' money."

Dan Moross, our charming and very patient head of MOO Customer Services, has put together the most frequently asked of all the Frequently Asked Questions. We hope it helps!
1. How long will it take to get my order?
It depends what you've ordered and which shipping method you have selected.
Generally speaking standard turnaround time for US and UK customers is 6-8 working days, unless you are ordering stickers, which tends to add a couple of days (as they take a little longer to print).
We'll show you an estimated delivery date when you make your order, but if you would like to calculate your order's turnaround time, check out our cost calculator.

Independent French designers, Anaël Moreau and Gaëtan Guerlais aka The Feebles, are a formidable team. By day, they work in advertising, but by night, they are drowning in creative enterprises. Fine arts, drawing, art design, street art, photography; it seems there's no medium they can't turn their talented hands to – including video! This awesome shoot was created using stop-motion techniques, starring the humble MiniCard.
Like everyone the world over, we were shocked and deeply upset when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit Japan last week.

Hi, I've just rejoined after 8 months absence, I'll give it another try...maybe with you.😉 I've been a model and an interior designer. I am the mother of 2 children in their twenties, whom I adore. I enjoy traveling and experiencing other cultures. I am artistic- draw, paint, write, sew, upholster, bake, cook... all with a creative flair. I come from a large family, I am the youngest of 5 siblings. My dear parents have passed. My Mom was a great beauty and very kind, and my father was very playful. He 'thought', funny. It was a pleasure to be with them. I therefore, find humour to be a necessary ingredient, for me, in a man.

JEFF LYTLE: October 2, 2011 ... Just another service of your neighborhood newspaper
I was working hard on connecting the dots that I knew were there to turn a string of interesting items into a column.
I got the help I needed from an unexpected source — a news item in the other morning's paper about misgivings that some readers and others have about the daily press across the country.
They told pollsters they would not miss us if we went away, and we would be easily replaced.
I try to learn something from every one of those surveys. There is always a nugget or two of truth.
At the same time, I'd like to ask: If not for the local press, where else would people have to call with such a wide spectrum of questions and concerns?
Let's start with Jim White. He called the other weekend and left a voice mail on our "Naples Daily NewsMakers" number, 213-6070, asking whether we knew someone was setting up a farm on Santa Barbara Boulevard. It seems he had spied some cattle and goats on Santa Barbara between Davis Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road. He feared bugs and maybe disease in that area.
Actually, what our reader observed was our state's real-estate appraisal laws in action. The property owner has put the animals there to qualify for something called an agricultural exemption, which allows for drastically lower taxable values for land with even a marginal agricultural purpose — even if it is clear that the land's highest and best ultimate use is something other than grazing.
The Collier County Property Appraisers Office says each of the four lots comprising the acreage in question is valued in the $120,000 range and is taxed as if it were in the $2,500 range. The owner confirms yes, that's what's going on while he awaits buyers interested in up to 12 residential units per acre.
Happy to help, Mr. White.
Then there is the reader who felt he had nowhere else to turn after an unpleasant run-in with the Collier County Sheriff's Office and its tow truck policy.
Jack Dautrich said his wife's car conked out one afternoon near Collier and Davis boulevards.
He arrived at the scene within minutes to find the car on a flatbed and ready to roll somewhere. He wondered why they could not use AAA. He was told it was too late.
His wife had to name a "preferred" tow or go with the next firm on the rotation.
Now really, who has a "preferred" towing company?
The deputy at the scene handled that before letting her use his phone to call Dautrich, who was told when he got there that it would cost $150 — cash — to have the car removed from the flatbed or $195 — cash again — if the firm towed the car home two miles away, or more money if the company, unpaid, had to keep and store the car.
"This was nonnegotiable and the Sheriff's Office would enforce it," says Dautrich, who happens to be a retired law-enforcement officer from Philadelphia, unbeknownst to anyone at the scene. "By now, with the charges mounting, my thinking was this is a system on steroids — not working for me."
He settled for the $195 and his insurance company and repair shop took over from there.
Meanwhile, the sheriff's public information office says the situation was handled by the book — which includes voluminous county law and policy — and the driver set everything in motion by saying she trusted the system, by default.
As a helpful tip, the Sheriff's Office suggests being familiar with your insurance company's tow plan so the right call is made if a sudden, unexpected, stressful situation comes up.
I wonder: Wouldn't it be more of a public service for the people who are pros at this to have a bullet-point guide ready to hand ruffled motorists or ask them first, "Would you like to call AAA?"
Hope that helps a little, Mr. Dautrich.
Then there is the reader who called from a beauty shop a week or so ago with questions — actually complaints — about our local crime coverage. She accused us of covering up crime in general and in high-end neighborhoods in particular.
She had an extra measure of credibility, as she was able to offer examples that had happened to her and her clients.
I need to check on the status of the tip to that effect that I passed along to a colleague on our news desk.
Then I have to get back to her.
That is the way to earn your wings with readers such as the people in the poll who think local papers are nothing all that special.
Because if you lose sight of who you work for, those polled people have a point.
P.S. to them: Where else would you find pictures like the one above left?

March 8, 2011 - April 2, 2011
Vivienne Westwood, "Rocking Horse" boots, leather and wood, 1987, England, Gift of Francisco Melendez A.K.A. Francois.
Vivienne Westwood 1980-89 will be the first exhibition to focus exclusively on Westwood's fashions of the 1980s and highlight the significant shift in Westwood's design style during this decade. Her work of the early 1980s was prominently featured in edgy magazines such as i-D, and her following was comprised mainly of street-style insiders. By 1985, her more structured, feminine, and historically-inspired styles began to attract the attention of the mainstream press and widened Westwood's audience. The exhibition will include a unisex ensemble from the Pirate collection (1981), a woman's ensemble from the influential Buffalo collection (1982) and a pair of Westwood's iconic "Rocking Horse" boots from the Harris Tweed collection (1987). Editorial photographs from magazines such as The Face and British Vogue will further illuminate Westwood's impact on 1980s fashion, as will runway footage and video interviews with the designer.
Vivienne Westwood 1980-89 has been organized and curated by FIT graduate students of the Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory, Museum Practice program.

Secretary Vilsack names members to Planning Rule Advisory Committee
Today Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack named the members of an advisory committee charged with providing guidance and recommendations on the implementation of the new U.S. Forest Service Planning Rule.
"Members of this federal advisory committee will give unique perspectives on land management issues under the new planning rule, which provides stronger protections for forests, water, and wildlife while supporting the economic vitality of rural communities," said Vilsack. "The committee's input will be very important as we begin to implement the new rule and address critical management needs on our national forests and grasslands."
More than 220 people applied to serve on the committee. The selected members represent a balanced range of public interests in the management of National Forest System lands. This group will provide the Secretary and the U.S. Forest Service Chief feedback on a range of issues important to implementation of the planning rule.

Getting started with Domain-Driven Design
During my "Next-Generation Data Access with ADO.NET Orcas" talk yesterday at the December Software Developer Event the question came up how to start with this DDD thing. With the ADO.NET Entity Framework on the horizon developers seem to be anxious to learn more. Which is of course a great thing! I couldn't hold myself from evangelizing DDD and offered to post a couple of links on this blog to get you guys started.
For a quick introduction see Domain-Driven Design Quickly, InfoQ.com (you'll have to register).
Two excellent books:
Domain-Driven Design Tackling Compexity in the Heart of Software, Eric Evans

1888-11-23 (152lbs) Bill Chesterfield Goode w pts 12 Arthur Bobbett, Peter Street Grand Circus, Manchester, England
1888-11-23 (152lbs) Bill Chesterfield Goode w pts 12 Arthur Bobbett, Peter Street Grand Circus, Manchester, England. Referee: George Dunning. Billed for the English 152lbs middleweight title, both men got away well and it was even-steven before Bobbett (152) scored the opening knockdown in the fifth round when dropping Goode (150) with a left hander. In the next session it was Goode's turn to floor his man, a terrific uppercut putting Bobbett on his knees, and in the eighth the latter was floored three times in all. Despite this, Bobbett was still in the fight, but Goode was drawing ahead and after flooring his opponent twice more in the 12th the decision in his favour was a formality.
Following little real activity at the weight somewhat surprisingly, on 3 February 1891, Arthur Akers challenged the world at 152lbs having recently won a championship competition at 158lbs.
A few months later Ted White won a championship competition when outpointing Bill Husbands over four rounds at Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, London on 30 May.

Study cards must be signed and submitted today by 5 p.m., and while minds can always change before the add-drop deadline, most students will make their final scheduling decisions today. However, there is one class which students may still want to shop before setting anything in stone. The renowned Cogan University Professor Hilary Putnam will be retiring after this semester, but not before taking one last curtain call with his former student, Professor of Afro-American Studies Cornel R. West '74.
Students who had a chance to shop Philosophy 135: "Pragmatism and NeoPragmatism" over the last week listened to a conversation between two of the great living American pragmatists, Professor West and Professor Putnam. This is the last time this bright constellation of minds will appear behind the podium of a Harvard classroom. At the end of his introduction to the class, Professor Putnam announced that he would be retiring after this semester.
Putnam has been a spotlight on the American academic stage since he arrived at Harvard in 1965. His impact at Harvard has been long and wide-reaching. His positions as a faculty member of the departments of both the Study of Religion and Philosophy demonstrate the breadth of his expertise. His extensive writings on the philosophy of mathematics and logic and on realism and pragmatism are his most noted contributions to academia.
Putnam made himself known on campus during the strike of 1969 when students took over University Hall. He was one of the professors who supported the students and one of the leaders of the liberal caucus.
Putnam's impending retirement will make the class bittersweet for both professors and students. West said that he and Putnam had been planning this class over a year and a half ago. "It's a historic moment," West said of Putnam's retirement. "He's the last in a line of powerful 20th century thinkers."
So before the rest of the semester dissolves into a blur of midterms and problem sets, we would like to take this moment to salute Professor Putnam for his astounding academic achievements and his lasting effect on our University. We wish him well on all his travels, both literary and worldly. We hope he enjoys his final lectures as much as his students will.

She added of the pieces: "I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements -- fire, water, earth and wind.

Banks Face $3.6 Trillion 'Wall' of Debt: IMF
Posted By aaron On April 14, 2011 @ 1:54 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
April 14, 2011
The world's banks face a $3.6 trillion "wall of maturing debt" in the next two years and must compete with debt-laden governments to secure financing, the IMF warned on Wednesday.
Many European banks need bigger capital cushions to restore market confidence and assure they can borrow, and some weak players will need to be closed, the International Monetary Fund said in its Global Financial Stability Report.
The debt rollover requirements are most acute for Irish and German banks, with as much as half of their outstanding debt coming due over the next two years, the fund said.
"These bank funding needs coincide with higher sovereign refinancing requirements, heightening competition for scarce funding resources," the IMF said.

Submitted: 'Piano and Brass riddled pop-punksters Skatch have 2 brand new tracks up on their myspace page! 'Forever On Replay' and 'BMA' over at www.myspace.com/skatch '
Paul, otherwise known as Sav, is quite possibly the only member of the Punktastic team to actually have a proper job. But don't hold that against him. He's actually a proper journalist, (a reporter for a daily northern paper) and so adds a bit of credence to the team. Except you wouldn't think that by reading his reviews. Maybe somebody should tell him that it is quality and not quantity that counts!
Sav actually ended up working for Punktastic after meeting Nick at university, and the pair bonded over all things punk rock. Another guitarist, he also "writes a lot of songs about relationships, and how mine went wrong." Oh, and he loves the Ataris, if you hadn't already noticed. In his spare time he worships at the church of Kris Roe...
Other fave bands include: MxPx, New Found Glory, Blink 182, Weezer, Midtown, Reel Big Fish, The Get Up Kids, Alkaline Trio, NOFX, Green Day, Deftones, Lit and Silverchair to name but a few.
Hobbies include, sleeping, drinking, eating fish and supporting Grimsby Town FC. But hey, somebody has to.

Big news on ?art scene the
The Grace gets its largest painting so far
The largest painting ever shown at The Grace Museum goes on display this week.
The painting, "A Love Supreme," is part of "Faith & Family: Paintings by Sedrick Huckaby," which opens Friday.
The 80-foot-long painting of Huckaby's grandmother's quilts fills the entire north wall of the main gallery and is the largest painting ever installed at The Grace, said Emerald Cardenas, director of marketing and communications for the museum.
Huckaby is an award-winning Fort Worth artist whose works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and collections around the country.
The exhibition displays a connecting thread for everyone in the community to experience.
"We see them every day; family members, old quilts, domestic interiors. To Sedrick Huckaby, they are worthy subjects for grand and complex paintings," said Chief Curator Judy Tedford Deaton.
"Huckaby draws inspiration from his family history, faith and his African-American roots. The everyday aspects of his life act as a muse to his considerable artistic talents," she said. "With rich impasto painted surfaces, he elevates humble subjects to universal metaphors with the power to quicken hearts toward home."
The exhibit opens with an artist talk and brown bag lunch at noon. Huckaby will also host a gallery tour at 1:30 p.m. The Grace will host an artist reception at 5:30 p.m.
The exhibit runs through April 21.
Also opening on Friday is "Friends and Neighbors: The Art of Photographing People."
Also curated by Deaton, the exhibition features photographs from The Grace's permanent collection and loaned from private collectors.
Different approaches to photographing people are explored through photographs by Earlie Hudnall Jr., Fritz Henle, Steve McCurry, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Wright and others.
The exhibit runs through June 9.

Coca-Cola: "Dueling Parade Balloons"
On a cool Thanksgiving morning old (Underdog) and new (Stewie from Family Guy) parade balloons battle it out for a inflatable bottle of Coca-Cola. As they cross the skyline of New York City fists fly and heads are butted. But, in the end, neither is the one who claims the prize. That honor goes to the honorable Charlie Brown, who seems to have finally won something in his life.
This was a cute and gentle commercial by Cola-Cola, which rarely disappoints when it comes to Super Bowl ads. I never realized that the Underdog and Stewie Thanksgiving Day balloons had such angry looks on their faces. That was an advantage in this commercial as we saw the two balloons battling it out. I enjoyed when Underdog slammed Stewie against the building. Nice job overall.

Questions & Answers on the Watershed Improvement Grant
These are commonly asked questions about the Watershed Improvement Grant (EPA-R7WWPD-06-002). If you have questions beyond those in this Question & Answer document, or would like paper copies of the Notice of Request for Proposals, please call Jeannette Schafer at 913-551-7297 (email@example.com) or Robert Bukaty at 913-551-7846 (firstname.lastname@example.com).
You can also find more information on the EPA Grants and Debarment and EPA Region 7 Grants Information Websites.
General Questions
1. Where can I find the SF-424 and SF-424A forms and other grant writing information?
2. Who is eligible to apply?
3. What projects are eligible for funding?
4. What is the difference between demonstrations and implementation?
5. Are other activities not mentioned by the Request for Proposals (RFP) eligible? For example, are groundwater projects eligible for funding?
6. Is an urban pesticide and water project eligible as a Watershed Improvement with Pesticide Emphasis Project?
7. Who will be administering these grants?
8. How likely is my project to be funded? Is a large or small project more likely to be funded?
9. How much detail is needed in the proposal?
10. I am having difficulty with the Grants.gov Website. Who can I call for help?
11. How much cost share is required?
12. What is the difference between a proposal and an application?
13. When will the project start? How long can projects be?
1. Where can I find the SF-424 and SF-424A forms and other grant writing information?
These can be found at the EPA national grants, EPA Region 7 grants, and Federal grants Websites. The Request for Proposal (RFP) uses the required format for all Federal RFPs. Important sections include: Section 3 - Eligibility Information, Section 4 - Application and Submission Information, and Section 5 - Application Review Information.
As defined under Section 3A (Page 6), eligible applicants include states, territories, Indian tribes, and possessions of the U.S., including the District of Columbia, public and private universities and colleges, hospitals, laboratories, other public or private nonprofit institutions, and individuals. This includes county and local governments, natural resource districts, and soil and water conservation districts. Nonprofit institutions that engage in lobbying activities as defined in Section 3 of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 are not eligible to apply. For those that are ineligible, you may consider partnering with an eligible applicant.
3. What projects are eligible for funding?
There are three basic criteria [Section 3C, Page 7]: 1) projects must occur or primarily occur within Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and/or Nebraska; 2) proposals must be submitted by the deadline [see Section 4C]; and 3) must be one of two types of eligible projects [Page 3]. The first project type is a Watershed Improvement Project that supports the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects (including health and welfare effects), extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution. The second type of project is the Watershed Improvement with Pesticide Emphasis Project that meets the Watershed Improvement Project requirements and supports the transition to using less and lower risk pesticides in crop production and increasing farmers' adoption of ecologically-based, systems approaches using integrated crop, pest, soil and water management methods. Pesticides include insecticides, fungicides, rodenticides, and herbicides. A Watershed Improvement with Pesticide Emphasis Project must include activities that address farmers' crop production to meet the additional criteria.
4. What is the difference between demonstrations and implementation?
Demonstrations are eligible for funding and include activities that show the overall effectiveness of an approach in solving a problem. These activities must be innovative in their use of technologies, approaches, and/or practices, and include outreach to share lessons learned. Demonstrations must build the capacity of programs and focus on long-term solutions (Page 3). Implementation is not eligible for funding and includes new or ongoing programs to implement environmental controls. Implementation also includes routine or regularly conducted projects with little or no outreach to share knowledge, where the program staff has basic knowledge of proposed projects and outcomes (Page 14). For example, proposed activities by an applicant that are required to meet their Phase II Storm Water requirements would not be eligible for funding. Activities in addition to those required in Phase II Storm Water regulations that also meet the demonstration definition above would be eligible.
5. Are other activities not mentioned by the RFP eligible? For example, are groundwater projects eligible for funding?
If the activity has a significant component of and connection to eligible activities, and also meets all grant, guidance, statutory, regulatory, or other restrictions, the activity is eligible. For example, a groundwater project that considers the connection with surface water is eligible. Monitoring activities are eligible and can be used as a baseline for Section 4B5f "Environmental Results, Step 6) Established Baseline for Measurement" [Page 11].
6. Is an urban pesticide and water project eligible as a Watershed Improvement with Pesticide Emphasis Project?
No. Only projects that address farmers' crop production are eligible under this type of project. However, it would still be eligible as a Watershed Improvement Project.
7. Who will be administering these grants?
The Watershed Improvement Grant is specific to EPA Region 7, and is a special grant we have created to address a Regional Strategic Priority. EPA Region 7 will manage these grants directly with the applicant. This grant is different from Clean Water Act Section 319 grants in that: 1) EPA Region 7 directly selects and manages the grants; 2) state agencies are also eligible applicants; and 3) a nine-element watershed plan is not required.
8. How likely is my project to be funded? Is a large or small project more likely to be funded?
In order to assess the strength of your proposal and the likelihood of your project being funded, you may compare your proposal against the criteria and assigned points, as stated in Section 5A (Pages 16-18). All proposals will be reviewed and ranked using these criteria. Section 5B (Pages 18-19) gives additional information regarding the review and selection process. Qualified EPA staff will review the proposals and make funding recommendations to the EPA Regional Administrator. The final selection by the Regional Administrator will be based upon these recommendations and five additional factors: agricultural pesticide funds available, geographic distribution of funds, diversity of projects, diversity of watershed size, and cost of project. The RFP estimates funding projects that cost between $50,000 and $100,000, but there is no requirement or criteria to be within this range. This is an estimate only, and is a factor that the Regional Administrator may take into account in the final funding decision.
9. How much detail is needed in the proposal?
Enough detail is needed to meet all of the content requirements listed in Section 4B (Pages 8-13) and provide information for the criteria listed in Section 5 (Pages 16-18). The level of detail should be balanced with the need for ease of review by EPA Region 7 by staying within about 11 pages that are double-spaced and easily readable (Page 8). EPA reviewers will use the information provided in your proposal to review and rank proposals according to the Section 5B criteria. The only exception is Section 5A, Criteria 11, "Program Capability (12 points)", where EPA has stated that other sources of relevant information may be considered including agency files and prior/current grantors (also Section 4B5j). Section 4B5b "Detailed Itemization of Amounts Budgeted by Object Class Categories" refers to those categories given in the SF-424A form (e.g., personnel, supplies). Generally, one page of explanation is sufficient. For example, the narrative for personnel would explain the number and type of personnel, their wages, and estimated work spent on the project (hours, months, and percent of time). Letters of support do not count toward the 11 pages.
10. I am having difficulty with the Grants.gov Website. Who can I call for help?
First consider reviewing the Grants.gov Customer Support Website, which lists helpful information including frequently asked questions, a user guide, and references. If these resources do not provide the support you need, call the Grants.gov Contact Center directly at 1-800-518-4726 or e-mail at email@example.com.
11. How much cost share is required?
No cost share is required for the proposal to be eligible (Section 3B, Page 6). Leveraging of funds is encouraged and may be demonstrated in various ways. This is referred to in Section 4B5i "Major Partnerships" [Page 11] and Section 5A3 "Strong Partnerships and Leveraging Funds (15 points)" [Page 16].
12. What is the difference between a proposal and an application?
An application is longer and more detailed than a proposal. For an application, there will be 1) additional forms; 2) requirements to include in the workplan; and 3) additional workplan details to clarify the work to be done and whether all statutes and regulations will be met. If your proposal is selected, additional details and next steps will be included in the notification letter.
13. When will the project start? How long can projects be?
We anticipate that notifications of proposals selected will be sent no later than July 11, 2006, depending on the number of proposals received. The project will start when the grant is awarded, even if the activities do not start until spring of 2007. The award date likely will be no earlier than late August 2006 and no later than October 1, 2006. Generally, eligible activities should be of a relatively short time frame of one to three years (Page 5).p>

Hilleberg is known for their four season tents. The Rajd (pronounced "raid") is a departure from that model, but takes its roots from their oldest design - it's the inner tent from Hilleberg's first double wall tent design from 1973. It is what lightweight backpackers would call a tent or a floored tarp tent. Hilleberg is very keen on it not being called a "Hilleberg tent" since that conjures up the image of a sturdy four-season shelter for those familiar with Hilleberg, and the Rajd is intended for three-season use.
Rolf and Bo Hilleberg side by side in the Rajd; Bo has plenty of head room.
The Rajd weighs 2 lb 2 oz including Hilleberg supplied stakes and guylines. Weight does not include the two required trekking poles (tent poles are available as an option). Weight does include incredible head room for two people and lots of length. I sat and reclined in the Rajd with the 6'3" Rolf Hilleberg. Both of us had plenty of room length wise and above our heads. The zipped doors on both sides made it easy for two people to enter/exit the Rajd.
There are large triangular vents above both doors.
The Rajd displays Hilleberg's usual attention to details with some nice touches. The small awnings on both sides can be zipped in two to make entry/exit easier. The guyline comes off from both sides of the awning for even tension. Hilleberg worked with a US company to develop 2 mm guylines that have some nice features. The Spectra core and polyester outer are interwoven to prevent some of the problems associated with Spectra core guylines.
Both sides of the zip apart vestibule can be secured together with a loop and toggle to ensure even guyline tension.

Raw edge pieced and quilted
Lovely!!! Peggy
Stunning! A true thread painting...!
Love your artwork !!
thank you so much!
All of your quilts are fantastic, your thread work is to good to be true, I love the frames, are they fabric? If not, did you have the glass over the art? I made one , but left the glass out, with the glass on , it looks like a painting.
Hi Anne and thank you for all the lovely comments! Most of the frames are wood with a few exceptions. I get my husband to make them for me. I did not use glass for the same reason you found. I also like it that people can touch the piece (I know you aren't supposed to but I do).
Calna, your landscapes are so pure and peaceful . . . and beautiful! I too enjoy making landscape quilts, but usually add too much stuff/details (the problem of knowing when to stop!). I love that yours are relatively simple (meant in the best possible way) -- all the elements are there and you definitely know how much to include to get it "just right." Perhaps that's why they seem "pure" to me; you provide the scene and leave room for each of us to imagine ourselves right there!
Thank you so much riverlovr. I appreciate your comments. I have a few more pieces on my website www.penokeanhills.com
I love this piece. Very inspirational!
thank you so much
calna, I went to your website after you responded to my comment and enjoyed looking at more of your landscape quilts. Do you use paint at all, or only fabric and thread?
hi again
I did not use anything on this piece but on others I have used crayons, pebeo translucent paints and sometimes made my own skys with the pebeo paints. I also sometimes use bleach to make a sun or a moon and then neutralize it. I hope this helps.
Beautiful work, I see some of my stash of fabrics in this piece........................we share similar taste. Thanks for sharing.

Eggardon Hill
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Iron Age hill fort and downland with views across the Marshwood Vale to the coast
A great place for walking, flying kites or simply taking in the extensive views of the surrounding countryside and the English Channel in the distance.
The hill fort itself is about 2,500 years old, but originally there were two Bronze Age burial mounds on the summit. It's also an old smuggling spot - in the 18th century, Isaac Gulliver took advantage of the hill's commanding position and created a small plantation of trees to act as a landmark for his ships and help guide them to the coast.
Note: We own the sourthern half of the fort; the northern half is privately owned.
Walking on the hill fort
The fantastic views and diverse wildlife can only be appreciated on a rewarding walk. Eggardon provides spectacular views of other West Dorset landmarks including Thorncombe Beacon and Golden Cap to the south-west and inland towards Lewesdon Hill, Pilsdon Pen and Lambert's Castle.
50 things
West Dorset is a great place to have a 50 things adventure. Eggardon is a particularly good spot for ticking off number seven on the ultimate 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾ list - Fly a kite.
Sea holly discovery
Our volunteer survey team made a rare discovery of a garden sea holly plant growing on the chalk grassland slopes. Standing 30cm high, it is much taller than the wild sea holly seen on the local shingle beaches. It was eventually identified as Eryngium bourgatii, a species which may not have been seen in the wild before in Dorset. The plant favours sunny dry places such as found on at Eggardon.
The wildlife of Eggardon
Eggardon is a haven for wildlife, from chalk grassland plants including orchids to seven species of butterfly. Want to know what to look out for on your visit? Check out this report on the wildlife we've recorded here on our most recent surveys.
