Hello Sparky
Its true that you lose the ability to regroup, but you still have the other benefits, and of course, a land based community is easier/cheaper than a sea based one. Also, regrouping wouldn't be easy once seasteads get bigger. A land community can still "regroup" simply by having the constitutional right to secede. They won't physicaly move away, but they can have political separation.
Regarding voting rights, they're the same for immigrants, in the case of a referendum. Even if you have to wait 2 or 3 years to vote, that's still more short term than the seasteads or Free State Projects, for instance.
Hi Ken
as for being grabbed by a government, i think that would be far fetched, since the idea is a legal and democratic change of government. It would probabily still be part of the Commonwealth, and, if i'm not mistaken, the proposal was for the Falklanders to still count with protection from the UK military. And the UK allow some well know tax havens in their own possession, like Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, some Caribbean territories, etc.
Someone taking over Falkland would be like taking over the Bahamas, or Liechtenstein.

Back-to-School with RUUM American Kid's Wear #GurneeBTS #Ruum4Fall
- Written by James Zahn
When I last checked-in from our Back-to-School shopping adventure at Gurnee Mills, there was one store left that I wanted to hit - one that's been a staple of my seasonal fashion coverage for kids for over a year now, RUUM American Kid's Wear. What's become crystal clear over the past year is that we have one very fickle young fashionista in five-year-old Addie, who will quickly accept or reject an outfit or item (even ones that Daddy and Mommy really like), but 2-year-old Finley is a little more easy-going, at least for now. With new Fall collections (including Modern Rocker, Woodland and Back to School) in-stores and online at RUUM.com, the folks at RUUM invited us into their store to grab a few more outfits for the girls, and with $100 in Gift Cards and some additional cash from The Rock Father, here's what went down...
We hit the store a bit later than usual (5-ish) and immediately started scouting some possible combinations aided by a helpful associate who had some ideas of her own. Thing is, Addie's become picky. Even some things I'd steer toward - like Camo, which is exceptionally stylish and in-season this year (I'm a big Camo fan) were not only vetoed by Addie, but would've been vetoed by my wife should they have made it home. Denim is also big right now, but Addie wasn't having it. With a hefty pile of possible choices, we made our way to the fitting room for round one:
After a game of "you can't see me" (which entails Addie hiding within clothing racks), we had some solid picks for her, along with a couple of skirts and a super-cute Candy Plaid Shirt and jeans for Little Finley. But then Addie spotted a winner... a beautiful Lurex Plaid Dress, which I paired with a pink cardigan.
In the end, the girls grabbed those outfits and a few others - including some cute mix-and-match skirts and tops for optimum Back-to-School goodness, but after looking at the RUUM website this past weekend, I'm eyeing some things we didn't see in-store that I might want to grab... but I should probably refrain for now.
Whenever we hit RUUM, The Rock Father does some serious damage, and I could always do more. Perfect fashions for every season, and then I end up capturing moments like this one...
Five years old and looking like such a "big girl" for kindergarten.
Check out RUUM.com to explore the Fall Lookbook to find some stylish fashions for your little one - girls and boys alike!

If you follow Friends of Type — please, do if you don't — these posters will come as no surprise, since they consistently show amazing hand-crafted and computer-crafted lettering, whether it's their own sketches and final renderings or those of their friends. While all this goodness lives on screen, the itch to translate that into the tangible world of print was probably inevitable:
We started Friends of Type as a place to throw our sketches and push each other to do things that we love. One of the things we love is printed matter and, as luck would have it, Jason Wong is also half of enormous champion where his wife Jordan is an expert printer. While 950 pixels is a good format for a blog, we yearned for 8 × 10-inch output. We combined a few posts and phrases that had come up in the blog and each took a word from "Always Play Amongst Friends" to create a series that works well together as well as in separate.
With Jordan as a vested interest — you could say profit sharing, if indeed there is profit — we could actually afford the project, mixing passion and business in a way that was fun, if a bit dangerous. This also made the series accessibly priced for people just as passionate as we are about collecting letters on paper. We hope those people like the prints as much as we do!
We do, fellas, we do!

Statement by
H.E. Hasan Kleib
Charge d'Affaires/
Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations
on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
at the Second Committee
On Agenda Item 56: Group of Countries in Special Situation
New York, 20 October 2009
Mr. Chairman,
I have the honour to speak on behalf of the Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) comprising of Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. ASEAN associates itself with the statement made by the distinguished Representative of Sudan on behalf of the Group of 77 and China.
ASEAN wishes to thank the Secretary-General for his informative reports and the recommendations contained under this agenda item. We commend Mr. Cheick Sidi Diarra, Under-Secretary General, Special Adviser for Africa and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), for his insightful remark.
The deepening of the global financial and economic crisis, combined with the ongoing energy and food crisis and severe threats of climate change, has given rise to a set of complex and daunting challenges for developing countries, in particular groups of countries in special situation. The prolongation and intensity of the crises has caused significant impacts for both midterm and long-term development prospects to vulnerable groups of countries.
Furthermore, economic and social regression caused by the crisis undermines the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals (IADGs), including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the least developed countries.
Despite some progresses since adoption the Brussels Programme of Action (BPoA) in 2001, there are still daunting challenges and constraints. The LDCs are unlikely to achieve the goals of the BPOA by its deadline of 2010.
Against this backdrop, genuine partnership between the LDCs governments and their development partners should be further strengthened. Strong support from international community is needed to assist LDCs' national efforts to mitigate the effects of the global economic crisis and achieve the MDGs and other internationally agreed development goals. In this regard, ASEAN looks forward to the successful Fourth United Nations Conference on the LDCs which will be held in mid 2011. The conference is expected to conclude with a new framework for partnerships for the sustainable development and sustained economic growth of the least developed countries for the next decade.
To this end, Mr. Chairman, ASEAN encourages the United Nations agencies to continue playing a pivotal role in assisting the LDCs to achieve their objectives and goals. Although, most of the UN agencies have already mainstreamed the BPoA into their policies and work-plans, more concrete programs and projects on the implementation of the Plan of Action need to be further promoted.
The lack of territorial access to the sea, aggravated by remoteness and isolation from world markets, inadequate infrastructure and cumbersome border crossing procedures remain challenges for the landlocked developing countries (LLDCs). Although some progress has been made in the implementation of the Almaty Programme of Action and Declaration of the High-level Meeting of the Sixty-third Session of the General Assembly on the Midterm Review of the Almaty Programme of Action, LLDCs continue to be marginalized from international trade, preventing them from fully harnessing the potential of trade as an engine of sustained economic growth and development. By not fully harnessing the potentials of trade, LLDCs will continue to face challenges in their efforts to establish transit transport systems and achieve their development goals, including the MDGs.
To overcome these challenges, ASEAN believes that the Almaty Programme of Action remains a sound global framework for enhancing strong partnerships in addressing the special needs of LLDCs. Continued efforts should be made to realize viable and predictable transit systems, as well as international trade and trade facilitation through the implementation of the Almaty Programme of Action and Declaration. The United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS) should play a more active role, particularly in the area of inter-agency coordination and resources mobilization.
ASEAN attaches a great importance to increasing the capacity of Member States, particularly the less developed ones, to enable them to effectively contribute and optimally benefit from the various ASEAN initiatives, programs and work plans as contained in the Vientiane Action Plan (VAP) for 2004 - 2010 and the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI), including the revised Term of Reference of the IAI Task Force, the IAI Work Plan II (2009-2015).
An efficient and integrated transport system is key for ASEAN to integrate with the global economy, improve competitiveness and enhance the inflow of foreign direct investment. ASEAN underscores the importance of further advancing ASEAN transport's integration and development in the building of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015 and agrees to intensify concerted efforts in the timely implementation of the AEC Transport Strategic Schedule and Scorecard and supports ASEAN Strategic Transport Plan (ASTP) 2011-2015. ASEAN acknowledges the importance and critical roles in continuing collaboration and cooperation with ASEAN Dialogue Partners, international organizations and partners and related private sector associations and other stakeholders on strategic transport and infrastructure programs to hasten the establishment of the ASEAN Community by 2015.
In addition, ASEAN also attaches an importance on the ASEAN Framework Agreement on the Facilitation of Inter-State Transport (AFAFIST). The Agreement will greatly facilitate seamless regional cargo transportation and would serve as guidelines for Member States in undertaking trade facilitation policies. It also represents a significant milestone in ASEAN's effort to facilitate the transportation of goods within the region. The Agreement puts in place the final enabling framework to support a harmonized, integrated and efficient transport logistics and facilitation environment in ASEAN.
ASEAN reaffirms its commitment in activating the National Single Windows (NSWs) in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet Nam (CLMV), in line with the ASEAN Single Window (ASW) Agreement and its protocol that would contribute to the enhancement of intra-ASEAN trade while taking advance of Information and Communication Technology. All these efforts are not only aimed at narrowing the development gap among Member States, but they are also addressing the special needs of the Least Developed Countries and Landlocked Least Developed Country in ASEAN.
ASEAN reaffirms their commitments to cooperate with United Nations agencies and international community to further support the implementation of the Brussels Programme of Action (BPoA) and the Almaty Programme of Action (APoA).
I thank you Mr. Chairman

Personal Portfolio
Maybe this year's profit distribution or bonus won't be all you'd hoped for. If you own a company that's still too young or capital-starved to pay you all you'd like, consider other ways to reward and motivate yourself as the year winds to a close. Nanette Dion, the owner of N. Dion & Co., a painting business in Naples, Fla., that specializes in wall finishes for luxury-home renovations, has done just that during her company's four years of operation. "No matter how busy we are or how big we grow--and we currently employ about 20 people--I make certain to give myself time off, occasionally, to pursue my other life as an artist," she says.
Dion is currently working on a series of paintings of country inns throughout the United States. Her bonus usually takes the form of a couple of extra vacation days, plus the cash to cover a round-trip airline ticket and a stay at one of the inns she plans to paint. The CEO is convinced that entrepreneurs need to pursue personal interests no matter how far afield they might be. "You work so hard when you start a business," Dion explains. "It really helps to remind yourself that you can find ways to invest in yourself as a person, even when you're not yet ready to invest in your family's financial future."

Cincinnati police cope with epidemic of violence after April riot
|July 13, 2001
(CINCINNATI)—Police in Cincinnati say there has been an epidemic of violence in some of the city's neighborhoods since the April riots with about 70 shootings. Now, they are planning to do something to quell the bloodshed.
This week, Police Chief Thomas Streicher and Mayor Charles Luken announced the formation of an anti-violence task force. Details of how the plan will work are still sketchy. Lt. Ray Ruberg, public information officer for the Cincinnati police, said that the task force will cut across the city's five police districts.
The plan is the result of a meeting this week (the week of July 9), between Streicher and Luken to discuss the shootings, Ruberg said.
Police also hope to involve the community in neighborhoods like Over-the-Rhine, which was rocked by violence in April after demonstrations against the police turned into rioting. The protests were over the death of Timothy Dwyer, 19, an unarmed black man shot in a traffic stop. The riots were halted after the city imposed a curfew.
Leslie Isaiah Gaines, a former Hamilton County judge, is ready to be involved. Gaines, now the pastor of Everybody's Tabernacle Church, is the founder of Stop Taking Out People, or STOP.
Gaines, like city officials, points to the riots as the beginning of the wave of shootings.
"The report on the street is there are a large number of guns stolen during the riots," he said. "By talking to these young men on the streets, a lot of the violence is drug-related, some of it is turf-related and some of it is gang-related."
Police officials suggested that officers have been unwilling to respond quickly and aggressively to trouble since April. Ruberg said that new regulations aimed at racial profiling have created a lot of paperwork.
When Luken announced the task force on Wednesday (July 11), he pleaded with residents to be nice to police officers, urging "acts of kindness."
Gaines believes that most residents of Over-the-Rhine and similar neighborhoods welcome police efforts to curb the shootings.
"The people constantly want to make sure they are treated with dignity and rewpect," he said. "I tell the people that respect is a two-way street. That way will decrease some of the friction."
Gaines began walking the streets during the riot, trying to calm the city. At first, he patrolled by himself but in recent weeks he has been joined by a growing group, the STOP Squad. He is now forming the People's Police Patrol.
"The young men that normally just stand around on the street corners wearing head rags and baggy pants, they'll now help patrol their own inner-city streets," he said.
This week, there were several shootings with a toll that included one man dead and four people hurt. Three police officers escaped without injury after being fired on in two separate incidents in a few days.
Gaines said he understands why police officers are nervous about leaving their squad cars. But he hopes they will be able to do so.
"On the days I have walked the streets and seen police out of their cars interacting with the people that seemed to do a lot of good for the morale of the citizens," Gaines said.

4 Practical Tips for Being a Better Thought Leader
Jon Miller / Inc. / August 22, 2013
As a marketer, thought leadership is one of the most valuable assets your brand — or you — can attain.
Prospects conduct a great deal of research leading up to the purchase. This means marketing professionals must help educate prospects in the early stages of the buying cycle; doing this well can help frame their buying process and establish your brand as a trusted advisor that understands their problems and knows how to solve them. Therefore, it's more vital than ever for your organization to be viewed as an industry leader and trusted resource for all key stakeholders: customers, media, analysts, investors and everyone in between.
Unfortunately thought leadership is not as easily quantifiable as other demand generation metrics like revenue, sales, or leads. And investing in reputation building may not produce the same short-term, immediate effects of efforts such email marketing campaigns.
But cultivating thought leadership can have a significant long-term payoff, as in time it elevates your brand at scale.
What are the qualities that define thought leaders?
Thought leaders:
· Develop relationships with customers, prospects and others by engaging them in non-sales, industry-relevant conversations.
· Become the go-to source for research, insight and interpretation of the latest news and trends.
· Gain trust among prospective customers so that when the time finally comes to purchase, customers turn to the thought leader organization.

All-Natural Pumpkin Butter
Ingredients (about 3-3.5 cups)
4-4.5 cups fresh pumpkin puree (made from 3.8 pounds sugar pumpkin)
1/4 cup sweet apple cider or apple juice, more if needed
1 cup Sucanat (or brown sugar, unpacked)
3-4 tbsp pure maple syrup, to taste
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (enhances flavour and helps preserve)
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of fine grain sea salt
1Roast at least 3.8 pounds of sugar pumpkin (see this tutorial). Cool for 10 minutes on pan before handling.
2. Add pumpkin flesh (without the skin) in a blender. Add juice and blend until smooth, stopping to push down the pumpkin when necessary. You can add another 1/4 cup of juice or so to get it going if needed.
3. Add the Sucanat (or brown sugar), maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Process again until super smooth and no clumps remain.
4. Spoon mixture into a medium-sized pot. Cover with lid and prop lid ajar with a wooden spoon. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to a low boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook for about 10 minutes, or until it's as thick as you want it. Keep the lid ajar throughout the cooking process - you will find it splatters everywhere so be careful! I like to keep the lid propped up on an angle while I stir the mixture so I don't get splattered. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Adjust sweetness to taste.
5. Cool completely, stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and then store in a sealed jar in the fridge. Should keep for 2-4 weeks.
1 tablespoon has approx. 23 calories.

|Does the C34T mutation in AMPD1 alter exercise capacity in the elderly?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16767606 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Ageing does affect functional capacity through several changes at the peripheral muscle level that impair the muscles capacity to produce energy and generate force. The skeletal muscle-specific isoform of AMP deaminase (AMPD) plays an important regulatory role in muscle metabolism and in determining energy charge. Since nearly 20 % of the general Caucasian population is heterozygous (CT) for the most common C34T mutation of the gene (AMPD1) encoding for this enzyme, it would be worthwhile to study if such a condition further increases the effects of ageing. Twenty-one women (61 - 80 yrs) served as subjects, and depending on the results of previous genotyping, were assigned to a group with the C34T mutation (heterozygous; n=4; mean+/-SEM age: 71+/-1 yrs) or with no mutation (n=17; 68+/-1 yrs). Several indices of maximal (peak oxygen uptake [V.O (2 peak)], peak power output) and submaximal endurance performance (ventilatory threshold, mechanical efficiency) and functional tests (one-mile walk test and a specific test of lower-body functional performance [sit-stand test]) were compared between the two groups. No significant differences were found in exercise capacity between both groups, e. g. V.O (2 peak) of 19.1+/-1.0 vs. 20.1+/-1.9 ml . kg (-1) . min (-1), V.O (2) at the VT of 11.9+/-0.6 vs. 12.9+/-1.0 ml . kg (-1) . min (-1), or time to complete the one-mile walk test (951+/-18 s vs. 962+/-61 s) and sit-stand test (9.9+/-0.2 vs. 9.2+/-0.2) (no mutation vs. C34T mutation, respectively). Although more research is necessary, it seems that the C34T mutation of the AMPD1, at least in heterozygous individuals, does not affect functional capacity in the elderly.

World Cup rip-off
Research revealed that football fans visiting Brazil for the 2014 World Cup will be asked to pay up to five times the normal rate for hotel accommodation.
The average cost of a hotel room in Rio de Janeiro during June and July this year was £145 per night, based on figures from Trivago, the hotel booking website. During next summer's tournament, however, average prices are around £300, according to Brazil's tourist board, Embratur.

David Hargett, Executive Director, The Conestee Foundation tours the area of Conestee Dam. / KEN OSBURN/Staff/Greenville News
The ribbon of the Reedy River snakes its way through a lowland forest, past sandy beaches and eroded banks, through a marsh filled with Canada geese and the nests of blue herons. It flows onward until it fans out into a calm wetland filled with reeds and willow trees.
The swamp, located behind Municipal Stadium on Mauldin Road, is deceptive. The water moves subtly, coaxed by gravity until � whoosh � it�s swept downward, forcefully, over the dam where it reconnects as a river again.
Dave Hargett walks along the four-foot wide dam, some 30 feet above the water downstream and watches as the spray slaps against the rocks and turns to mist � just as it has for the past 120 years.
Secure � that�s how the dam feels from a perch atop it. Men chiseled and hammered and split and stacked the slabs of rock underfoot by the bloody sweat of hands long ago.
This dam has long outlived those who crafted it, but as Hargett points out, �dams don�t last forever.�
As the dam ages, its security has become a top priority for The Conestee Foundation, which bought the Lake Conestee Brownfield site and the dam in 2000 using money from the Colonial Oil pipeline spill settlement and with a vision to study the site�s contamination, restore its usefulness and expand it into a nature park.
Repairs have been made. Cracks have been sealed �in the nick of time,� says Hargett, the foundation�s executive director.
The dam is in better shape today than at any time in the past 20 to 30 years, Hargett says. Now is the time to consider its future, especially in light of its current, most important purpose: holding in place the 2.3 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment that washed downstream from Greenville�s industrial mills, a legacy of the area�s textile age, he says.
The dam is the sole barrier that keeps contaminated sediment from washing further down the Reedy River and into Greenwood�s clean water supply, Lake Greenwood. Its importance is immeasurable, and its failure would cause a catastrophe downstream, Hargett says.
Armed with knowledge of the dam�s importance, the foundation secured a federal stimulus grant to make initial repairs this past summer and to draft a list of multimillion-dollar options to rehabilitate or replace the structure.
For a foundation that works on a shoestring budget and employs no full-time staffers, paying for any potential repairs is impossible, Hargett says. So they�re exploring options, probing for grants or assistance from regulators and making plans.
Dam is key
Droplets of water seep through pinhole-sized cracks in the dam. The water has worked its way through a labyrinth from one side to the other and found a course to run down the face of the dam, staining the rock a wet gray.
Built in 1892, the dam first served to harness mechanical power and was later converted to create hydro-electricity to power the Conestee Mill, which it continued to do until the 1960s.
After that, it sat. Water still poured over it. Vines entwined along its face. Steel rusted and pipes that once carried water to the mill corroded and eventually disappeared.
No one wanted to touch the lake. It had a built-in stigma as Greenville�s trash-filled cesspool.
Then along came Hargett and Dana Leavitt, conservationists who co-founded The Conestee Foundation in 2000 to buy the dam and 150 acres of the lake.
They secured $200,000 for the purchase from a $3 million settlement from the Colonial Oil pipeline spill, which happened in June 1996 downstream from Lake Conestee and spewed 950,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the river, killing 35,000 fish.
Hargett saw beauty in the marshes and lowland forests just waiting to be reclaimed. A vision began to materialize to turn the neglected site into a nature park with an educational focus.
Lake Conestee Nature Park now has transformed into a 400-acre park with 10 miles of walking and biking trails. It serves as the southern terminus of the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The foundation, with assistance from a number of organizations, has poured $8 million into the project in the past dozen years and now is developing an educational curriculum to draw schoolchildren to the park.
Hargett, an environmental consultant for 35 years, says he had a good idea of what he was wading into, but nobody else would touch it, so he took up the challenge.
Hargett wanted to find out what was buried in the lake and develop a plan to manage it. They also agreed to do an assessment of the dam�s stability as part of a voluntary clean-up program through DHEC.
�My interest from the beginning was not purely altruistic,� he says. �I wanted to do the technical work.�
Hargett has performed much of the work himself as a contractor for the foundation.
After years of testing, they now know the list of contaminants attached to sediment buried in the lake. To remove the sediment and bury it in a landfill would cost up to a billion dollars, Hargett says. So the best course of action was to leave it in place, undisturbed underneath layers of clean sediment that have washed on top.
The dam is the key to keeping it all in place.
�This is a stable and manageable situation as long as the dam�s in good condition,� Hargett says.
When a 2008 study showed leaks in a sluice gate at the base of the dam, they knew it was just a matter of time until that gate gave way and sediment began to wash downstream. A similar emergency � when a penstock (used to control water flow) gave way in 2000 just after the foundation bought the dam � had emptied the lake of water and washed 90,000 yards of sediment downstream.
The foundation permanently closed the sluice gate this past year after they received a $200,000 stimulus grant dedicated to the recovery of Brownfield sites, which DHEC describes as land where development or re-use is complicated by the presence or potential presence of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants.
Now, at the bottom of the dam, a patch of fresh concrete stands out from aged masonry. Installed in September, it runs up to 10 feet deep through the base of the dam. It will be there long after the dam is gone, Hargett says.
In the nick of time
Pictures taken before work began to close the sluice gate show water streaming through the gate. The gate�s stability had worsened significantly in the months leading up to the project, so Hargett says they got to it �in the nick of time.�
�It was seeping, and it was seeping far more when we got around to doing the construction,� he says.
The dam has been cleaned up, vegetation peeled away to reveal the stone underneath and new safety gates have been installed on either side. The dam itself and the mill on the riverbank are off-limits to the public, Hargett says.
The dam is in better shape now than it was in the 1990s when it �was moving toward accelerated failure� and little was known about it, he says.
The state lists the dam as in fair condition, which means that no existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal conditions, but a significant flood or earthquake could impact the dam, according to the state Department of Health and Environmental Controls dam safety program.
It�s classified as a significant hazard, a step below the highest hazard level, meaning that if it were to fail it likely wouldn�t result in loss of life, but could cause damage to homes, businesses, roads and utilities, according to DHEC.
From the top of the dam Hargett points toward a bridge on Conestee Road that lies directly downstream from the dam. If the dam were to fail, that bridge would be threatened and closed immediately, according to an emergency action plan the foundation has created, Hargett says.
Jim Gossett, a retired civil engineer, served on the oversight board for the recent dam project. He�s been a foundation board member since 2005 and said the dam had been a major concern from the start.
�Really before this study we had no idea what the condition of the dam was and still we have a lot to learn,� Gossett said.
Surgery needed
There are three basic ways a dam could fail. It can slip from its moorings, part of it can crumble or the entire dam could topple, Hargett says.
As part of the stimulus grant, the foundation has studied its alternatives to replace, repair or remove the dam to prevent its failure.
The foundation wants to keep the dam intact, if possible, for its beauty, the history it tells of Greenville and the cheaper cost to keep it in place, Hargett says.
Much of the dam�s history remains a mystery though, which complicates plans to preserve it.
Here�s what they do know. It�s 575 feet long and anchored into bedrock on either side. It�s 22 feet high but is built on top of an eight-foot waterfall. It�s eight to 10 feet thick at the bottom and about four feet thick at the top.
It was severely damaged after a flood in 1908, and its repairs are visible in the top few feet of the dam that don�t match the rest of the masonry, Hargett says.
What remains unknown is if the dam was anchored into bedrock at its base or simply built on top of existing rocks in the river.
It�s also unknown if the dam could survive the foundation�s top choice to rehabilitate it by drilling steel rods vertically through the dam and into the bedrock below, Hargett says.
That�s the only solution that would keep the dam�s current look, he says.
�The question is can the patient take the surgery? And you really don�t know until you get into it,� he says.
Two other alternatives would either add a giant mass of concrete to the downhill side of the dam or a smaller concrete fa�ade along with steel rods drilled into the existing dam. Either of those would �give up the historic structure,� he says.
Reinforcing the existing dam would cost about $7.5 million. Adding a new fa�ade would cost $12.7 to $14.8 million, according to the foundation�s feasibility study, performed by Hargett�s company, HRI-Environmental Consultants and Caliber Engineering.
Building a new dam would cost at least $17.6 million while removing the dam and creating a concrete-armored river bottom so sediment couldn�t wash downstream would cost $56 million.
The foundation, which operates on a shoestring, doesn�t have funds to pay for any option, Hargett says.
�We�re simply a little non-profit that, in our innocence or boldness, said, �We�ll take this thing on and we�ll do something right with it.� And we feel we�ve achieved that,� Hargett says. �We�ve stabilized what was previously an unknown and threatening condition. We also have done all the studies to understand the implications of doing nothing. So doing nothing is not a good option.�
Angela Gorman, a DHEC hydro-geologist who worked on the Lake Conestee project from its outset, said the agency is continuing to work with the foundation to find a funding solution.
The dam�s story is much like other mill dams across the country. It serves as a time capsule to preserve industrial waste and its failure is not an option, Hargett says.
The recent repairs bought time, but time is still of the essence, Hargett says.
�This is a great example of a dam that has an incredibly important purpose now, far greater than its original purpose, of keeping all that stuff from moving again and creating a human and ecological catastrophe downstream,� he says. �It�s extremely important to fix it.�

Both Red and Blu team decided to take a break from all the fighting and go on a little vacation. Unfortunately they ended up at the exact same piece of paradise. Also, they're both really small for some reason.
Objective: Your team must capture and hold all 4 control points to win the round.
This is my entry for the FPSBanana rats mapping contest. The contest closes on Friday the 15th, so any feedback before that date would be great. I realize the stigma that most people hold towards rats map, but I did my best to balance it and provide a layout where each class has the chance to succeed. I havn't had much time to playtest, however, so once again feedback would be great.
Sorry for the large file size, but there is a lot of custom content, and the map wouldn't be the same without it.
Build time for this map is about 3 weeks of solid work.

St. Augustine police warn against attempted fraud callers
The St. Augustine Police Department has issued a warning concerning two different cases of attempted fraud.
In both cases, the victim was contacted by phone. The person on the other end claimed the victim either owed money or had won money.
The victims were instructed to go a local store and purchase a "Green Dot" card and put money on that card. They were then told to call back to a number and give the caller the PIN number of the card.
In both cases, the victim believed the story, but later became suspicious and stopped all contact with the caller.
In one case, the victim was elderly; the other had very little English skills.

RAPHINE, Va. — Developers hope a new artisan center will become a gateway attraction to Rockbridge County and the Shenandoah Valley. They announced plans for the AWASAW Artisan Center Wednesday morning.
The facility will be built near the Raphine exit on Interstate 81. It would cost $11 million and is expected to open in the summer of 2014. Developers, including former Rockbridge County Supervisor Bobby Berkstresser, say the center would be similar to the popular Heartwood Artisan Center in Southwest Virginia and Tamarack in West Virginia.
Here is the complete announcement:
LEXINGTON, VA. (January 23, 2013) - Longtime Rockbridge County businessman and former county supervisor Bobby Berkstresser has announced that he and a group of Shenandoah Valley investment partners are finalizing plans for a major new $11 million regional artisan and cultural center - AWASAW Artisan Center - expected to open in summer 2014. The Center will be strategically located on eight acres at the Raphine interchange just off Interstate 81/64 exit 205 in northern Rockbridge County.
"We intend for this Center to become a complete destination in itself - an attractive, must-do gateway to Rockbridge County for travelers from all over the nation," said Mr. Berkstresser. "They'll be able to enjoy everything from hands-on artisan demonstrations, live music, and Virginia-grown foods to nature trails and other outdoor experiences. And they'll take away memories that will keep them and their loved ones coming back to the best part of the Shenandoah Valley."
AWASAW Artisan Center, designed along the lines of the popular Heartwood and Tamarack artisan centers, will provide travelers an affordable, enjoyable, memorable cultural and culinary experience of the beautiful, historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia - thereby supporting and promoting local cottage industries such as farmers, winemakers, artists, and other craftspeople.
The facility will include: an artisan demonstration area showcasing handcrafts such as weaving and fiber arts; a Virginia arts and crafts retail center; the new Virginia National Guard Museum; a high-tech tourist information center serving all of Virginia and particularly the Shenandoah Valley; a "Taste of Virginia" culinary experience and Virginia-made food and wine shop; a frozen dessert parlor and food court featuring seasonal foods prepared in the Southern tradition; an "Experience Virginia" plasma-screen theater; and a fun, family-friendly experiential science exhibit. The center will also offer ample space to host public and private events.
Chairman of the Rockbridge County Board of Supervisors Ronnie Campbell noted that the planned artisan and cultural center would equate to a boost in the local economy: "Mr. Berkstresser and his partners are making their vision a reality, and that's good for all of us locally. We want to see Raphine and all of Rockbridge County become even more widely known as a destination for travelers. This smart development will give folks one more excellent reason to merge off the interstate - ultimately supporting local businesses and contributing to our local economy."
Mr. Berkstresser's partnership, known as AWASAW Partners LLC, has reached out to businesses in the Shenandoah Valley and around Virginia to plan the new Center. Lexington, Va. firm Perkins & Orrison is developing the site plan, to include road upgrades and utilities layout. First Design of Waynesboro, Va. is designing the building floor plan and elevations.
As part of the economic impact study included in the project's planning, the partnership will also conduct a traffic survey in spring 2013 at the I-81/64 exit 205 interchange. The group projects that the new Center could attract as many as 500,000 travelers annually once the facility is completed and widely publicized.
With planned parking for 15 buses and recreational vehicles, and over 200 cars, the Center is intended to be a premier attraction for travelers along one of Virginia's busiest highways, while preserving ample "green space" to maintain the local environment's beauty and biodiversity. An adjacent 160-acre commercial park to support the new cultural and artisan center will accompany the center's construction.
Officials and experts from around the Commonwealth of Virginia, and within Rockbridge County, participated in a three-year study to decide if such an artisan center would dovetail well with state and local environmental, economic, and tourism plans. State officials in the community development, transportation, and tourism fields have pledged to support the Center with marketing and signage initiatives and with inclusion on the Virginia Artisan Trail, which is currently in development.

Winners for the Reus giveaway to be announced later or tomorrow (depends how busy I am) and might not be able to put out reviews for a bit
June 19, 2013 in Uncategorized
For those who don't know summer school for me just started and at the moment it's very busy and hectic. I was actually told to drop 2 classes because I initially was taking 4 of my major classes which the teacher told me was pretty much suicide. I barely have sleep from all the workload we have to do at the moment. Because my schedule is like this, I will have a pretty hard time pushing out reviews let alone play games but I will try my best to still do so. I might however take about 2 weeks from today. Thank you for understanding.
I will be announcing the winner later tonight or tomorrow for Reus. =) I decided to have two winners because there were just too many great entries.
Well class is about to start =) til next time! *hopefully soon*

Stress-Free Ways To Get Ready For Summer (Sponsored)
It seems like just yesterday we were snuggled up in cozy cashmere sweaters and knee high boots, but it's finally time to wear our sundresses and sandals and enjoy some warm weather. Like many women, we look forward to the lazy days of summer, but feel somewhat anxious about getting into beach-ready shape. This video from awomansworld.com sums it all up perfectly: the thrill of open toe shoes combined with the agony of bikini season.
Rather than agonize about getting the perfect beach bod, we're going to make the best of what we have while vowing to eat healthier snacks and walking more often. Here are a few more essentials to help us welcome summer without the angst:
