Zebra Mussel Map Version on NAS
The spread of zebra mussels in the North America, especially the United States, has been extraordinary. Because of their unique ability to attach to boats, they quickly spread throughout the Great Lakes and eventually into a large portion of the Mississippi River drainage. It is commonly accepted that large barges spread them up and down the large navigable waterways such as the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Arkansas rivers their first few years here. In 2007, zebra and quagga mussels were discovered west of the Rocky Mountains for the first time. Lake Mead in Nevada was the initial place of discovery. The quagga mussel population was very large in the lake and had gone undetected for an unknown number of years. Since then, either zebra or quagga mussels have been found in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, and Utah. In the eastern United States, both species continue to disperse into small lakes in the Great Lakes region and into states such as Maryland and Massachusetts where no populations had existed. To see if there are zebra mussels in a lake near you, go to our Distribution in Small Lakes map. Photo Gallery

Looks around slowly.
..........whew.... the coast must be clear I don't see any trolls around............Well I thought I would check in today and see what is going on in AMD..........needed to take some time away from here.........damn trolls give me hives I swear.......
Actually been out of sorts for the past couple of weeks........not really sick but not feeling well either...........I found out that my son will be deployed in late October or early Nov. Not sure if he will be going to Afghanistan or Iraq but I had hoped that any talk of deployment wouldn't occur until after next Jan as that is when he will have his next promotion and he would have become an instructor........and no longer deployable. I know, with so many being deployed why should my son be excused, and in actuality even tho he will be leaving his wife and small son, he is ready to go......knows its his duty...........and I know he is in the Army..this is to be expected..........but I am not ready for this again................
Anyhoo.........I will be going to Kansas mid april for a visit with them. Haven't gotten to seen that darling grandson of mine and I want to see my son..........its been a year since I have seen him and even tho we talk 3 to 4 times a week........just not the same. They will be coming up late Aug for a few weeks on leave as my daughter n laws father is getting married...........but I want to spend as much time with son as I can.
The weather here is beautiful.........gotten chilly the last couple of nights but no snow........Which is good on one hand.........but might mean I have to give my sweetie his birthday present early since I bought him a new cart for his golf bag.........and they are already talking about playing golf soon..........Cow pasture pool ...........that he so graciously offered to take me with him.......ewwwww less exciting than watching cement set.........
I bought a new computer a few weeks back and a friend of mine who works on computers in West bygod Virginny asked me to try out PeerBlock to see what I thought about it. its a free program that blocks people from hacking into your IP to see what you are doing on the internet ........great for P2P uploading.........Not that I do any of that.......
Anyway.....although it does block some sites I do frequent like my netflix that I had to go in and manually add to the OK list.......the places that do hack your ip is rather scary. The federal Govt, DEA, Homeland Security for a few.........now if they are checking my computer when I do no wrong...
why are there still terrorists cells here.........oh yea they probably have PeerBlock too.........
Oh yea Department of Defense and Haliburton are also watching ip addys..........so I will no longer make any political comments that could get me into trouble..............
I went to the doctor the other day and took a diary of all that I have eaten since I last saw her.........wouldn't keep a mouse a live and yet i still gained weight......after talking to a specialist.....they cut my 1000 calorie diet to 650 a day......a 14 day colon cleansing ( so see for those of you who think I am full of shit ..you may be right) and a whole handful of different vitamins...........we will see what happens..........thank God I don't have an appetite anyway...........so cutting down to that amount of calories won't really bother me LOL
So anyway I just wanted to stop in and say Hi to all of those who gives a rats ass..........and for the rest of you well you can kiss my fat wooley ass..........LMAO Hope all of you are enjoying the day.........

Good to hear from you, Dayna. I had wondered about you. Yes, you are between a rock and hard place as it is difficult to lose weight when you are in physical pain that nullifies most exercise. Back in my rock and roll days when it seemed like every joint was subjected to being carved and rebuilt, even though my orthopods never suggest it, I got my butt into a pool for low impact rehab. and it worked for me.
That was a wonderfully well written humorous post and I'm giving you a greenie for it. Thank you very kindly. It has damned near been a wasteland for good reads on this site lately by and large IMO. But on the upside it has been largely troll free for a week or so.
Cow pasture pool
That is hilarious, I had never heard that term before, but it fits!!!! No lover of golf on this end of the keyboard.
Mar 28 @ 1:28PM
Good ta see ya here...it's been a trip in Pervialand and not a pleasant one but maybe we'll get a breather here for a while.
I can relate to the not losing weight...
I'm still having trouble getting the damn stuff to budge. I've lost lots of inches but the weight is stubborn as hell. They sent me to a dietician and she explained to me why my metabolism is dead as a doornail so I'm trying to turn that around.
My grandson is in Navy boot camp right now in Chicago so one of these days I may be facing what you're facing. I guess for the moment I just don't want to think about it.
Anyway....glad ya slipped in ta say Hi....Hi and a hug back at ya....
Mar 28 @ 1:51PM
Sooooo N0W ur full of vitamins?? Guess that's way better lol
Mar 28 @ 2:18PM
Dont even say the word troll on here. If you call them they will come.
Good to see you on here. I can't really exercise due to nerve damage but found that yoga does work for me. Although I do refrain from getting into positions that will require EMS to get me out of.
Good blog and a greenie for you.

Dropping in to say hi, Dayna!
Mar 28 @ 6:16PM
About time you come back...I was getting all set to send out a search party for you.....well....maybe not a search party....but...
And there is nothing wrong with you not wanting your son to go overseas again. I can only imagine how hard on a parent that has to be. I'll keep him and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Kansas huh? Watch out for those tornadoes...never know where you will end up if one gets ya.
Weather here today sucks. Overcast, rains off and on...about 43 degrees. But...starting tomorrow, it's going to warm up...the weatherman is talking about it getting up to 73 by Wed or Thur.
I can't wait!!!!
I've noticed that some of the spring flowers are starting to sprout up..and the trees are starting to bud.
Peer block? Might have to take a look at that. As to watching what I say about politicians....nope. Ain't gonna happen. If they're acting like jerks, I'll call them jerks.

My Toddler Is Finally Feeling CraftyEmily Malone
I know I've mentioned it here before, but we're getting ready to enter the gloomy, rainy season here in Seattle. Having a toddler trapped indoors for months on end is a daunting feeling on it's own, but coupling that with a newborn in the house has me prepping and planning to get ourselves as prepared as possible.
We're planning to get a play kitchen and a new magnet wall that will hopefully occupy him while I'm tending to baby brother or assembling lunches. But I'm also looking for more things that Cullen and I can do together inside – not just resources for independent play.
We are finally getting to a stage where he is embracing arts and crafts. I feel like I've been waiting for this for so long! For what has felt like his whole life (and I guess kind of has been), he has had no interest in crayons and paper beyond sticking them in his mouth and eating them.
Finally, we've reached a stage where he likes grabbing a fat crayon and making lines all over the page. More than anything, he likes instructing me and telling me what he wants me to draw. He's quickly learning things like shapes and colors, and drawing has really helped speed that process along. He asks me to draw circles, and I draw them in several different colors. Then we practice identifying them over and over again. I also pick things that I know he doesn't know quite yet, in an effort to try to teach him new words and concepts.
We just bought a set of finger paints and he's been begging to do it every day since. I'm glad he's showing such an interest, and that it's something that will hopefully keep us feeling cheerful and colorful during a gloomy winter.

BALTIMORE (AP) _ Researchers have been using sludge to test
whether it might protect children from lead poisoning in the soil.
Scientists using federal grants spread the sludge with the
permission of nine low-income families in Baltimore row houses. The
families agreed to let researchers till the sewage sludge into
their yards and plant new grass.
Researchers say the families were assured the sludge was safe,
but were not told that there have been some safety disputes and
health complaints over sludge.
The Baltimore study concluded that phosphate and iron in sludge
can increase the ability of soil to trap more harmful metals
including lead, cadmium and zinc, causing the combination to pass
safely through a child's body if eaten.
An Associated Press review of grant documents found no evidence
of any medical follow-up.

I'm a SAHM and have a business and my husband complains ALL of the time, what do I do???
I am a college educated SAHM. From the time my son was born until October of last year I always worked outside of the home at a good paying job. At that time, through no fault of my own I lost my job. So looking at this as an opportunity (only way I could look at it) I am now a SAHM. I am still receiving severance pay from that job and I have a photography business. I stay at home with my son all day everyday and work on my photography business from home. From the time my son was born I have felt like a single mother in that my husband does NOTHING to help. I can count on one hand the number of diapers he has changed. I admit that I am not the best housekeeper because I am busy with my son and business . My husband is a hardworking man in that he has a job and does farm work. I am MISERABLE because he is always complaining that the house isn't clean or that I don't want to have sex...who wants to have sex with someone who is always nagging them? What should I do? I

@phalx: i would prefer the machete and gumby costume combo as my serial killer package personally.
This machete is right above a black rain poncho at the moment. Get both and you have the whole serial killer package taken care of at once!
I have a couple of cold steel products and they are exceptional. I have the 2 handed kukri machete, the rajah 2, and a few other products and they hold their edge extremely well, and are well balanced and solid. Its actually kind of difficult for me not to buy this too.
$11 shipping to the DC area.

This morning I was interviewed on Radio 4's Today Programme about share buybacks. Friend or foe to shareholders? Destroyer or creator of value? You might think the answer is obvious, but think again.
Almost 20 years on from publishing my book, Accounting for Growth, I am exposing another loophole in the accountancy rules which is allowing companies to appear to have created value when they have not. You can listen to the interview here at approximately 2:42 hours, and read my arguments in full here.

During the month of July, Tony and Sean worked to successfully implement VMWare for the Sheriff's Office. The implementation of this system required a week's worth of work including multiple after-hour conversion sessions.
There was minimal downtime for end-users during prime business hours and the move to VMWare has given many Sheriff's Office applications increased redundancy and data protection. Additionally, eight physical servers have been completely powered-down, replaced by three physical servers running VMWare, reducing electricity and cooling costs. Future servers can also be added to the VMWare cluster instead of requiring physical servers.

Demolition Monday is coming Wednesday
This one is probably going to get me in trouble, but coming soon, the final Destruction of 2008, as the Amber Kitty goes down.
But until then, here is the Q&A with Nord. Note he will be recruiting South Florida for the Boilermakers. So he becomes what The Voice calls "carpetbaggers," the out of state coaches who come down to pillage Florida.
That's it for now.

Ulis's starship was an unidentified type of Ferengi starship utilized during the mid-22nd century. During the early 2150s, this ship was owned by the Ferengi merchant, Ulis.
During this time, Ulis and his crew used this vessel in raiding other starships of their valuable contents. Among the raids for which this vessel was utilized were a raid on a Gavarian starship and the Earth starship Enterprise in 2151.
Following the encounter with the crew of the Enterprise, command of Ulis's starship was handed to his cousin, Krem. (ENT: "Acquisition")

I want those. They look fun.
But I'm gonna blaspheme and say coffee will never, ever be in those mugs. It's British Tea for me, thanks.

The Tervis Tumbler has one of those too. I can attest that they work and they rock. The best part is that they don't crack in the dishwasher like all other clear plastic tumblers and mugs. Hurray!

Garbage Village - Cairo Part 4
View CLAIREINPARIS's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from CLAIREINPARIS
Saturday, April 27, 2013
Hello dear Sparkfriends,
Ever since I heard about Garbage Village in Cairo, I wanted to go there. I had heard some very encouraging things were happening in this extremely poor neighborhood of the Egyptian capital also known as Mokattam.
Garbage Village isn't beautiful. It isn't meant for tourists. It is a huge garbage site where the Zabbaleen ('garbage collectors' in Arabic) bring all the garbage they collect around Cairo - and where they live. The picture above is the view more or less everywhere in Mokattam: trucks loaded with garbage coming into Garbage Village, and garbage piled on both sides of the street.
Yet it is a 'normal' village, where 50,000 people live and children go to school, there are shops and churches...
The first place we visited in Garbage Village was the APE (Association for the Protection of the Environment). Their website is wonderful, if you want more information:
Their website will tell you better than I all that they do! But my colleague Mumtaz, who volunteers here and is well known, took me through various rooms of the building where we saw women making crafts (rugs, patchwork, paper necklaces, etc).
This is where rugs are made, but also bags and various other things:
Here these women were making necklaces out of paper:
Here I am shopping in one of the APE shops!
And in another one (my favorite, full of all kinds of products made out of recycled paper!)...
After this very encouraging visit (thanks to this, many women own some money and many products are recycled), we were off to the Cave Churches, above Garbage Village. Here is Garbage Village Cathedral:
It doesn't look like much? Well, follow me inside the cave...
22,000 people attend the services here!!! It is the biggest church in the Middle-East. And every Thursday evening, the services are televised on a Christian Middle-East TV channel. As we were there, they were preparing the cave for the evening, this is why you can see cables next to me on the picture.
Here is a picture I found on the Internet of a service in the cathedral of the Cave Churches:
Another thing that is extraordinary: the cliffs above the cave cathedral. They are covered with sculptures telling Bible stories, the way it is done on windows in 'normal' church buildings in the Western world and elsewhere.
The Flight to Egypt...
The Resurrection...
The story of the Cave Churches is amazing (there are several other churches at the bottom of the cliffs apart from the Cathedral). A few decades ago, although the inhabitants of Garbage Village were nominally Christians, there were no churches in Garbage Village. Then Farahat, a Coptic Orthodox believer, was invited by Quidees, a young garbage collector, to speak to his family. It took Quidees two years to convince Farahat, who had heard terrible rumors about that dangerous ghetto full of garbage and criminals and had absolutely no desire to visit it! When Farahat went to Garbage Village, Quidees' whole extended family became Christian, and they soon decided to build a church. Today, Farahat, now Father Simon, is the main priest at Garbage Village Cathedral.
As I was taking this picture outside Garbage Village's Cathedral...
... a little girl walked towards me and said in English: "Hello, what is your name?" Her name was Marian. She explained to me that she had come to the Cave Churches to spend the afternoon with her mother, siblings and cousins. And they would attend the service there on the evening.
Marian is a little sunshine! She was all dressed up for what was a special day for her, visiting the Cave Churches and attending the Cathedral service.
As we walked around the area, looking at trees I had never seen before and visiting other cave churches (they are all in the same compound)...
we met other children who wanted their picture taken with me!
St. Simon the Tanner's Hall was another impressive cave church. This picture found on Wikipedia gives you a good idea of it:
Here I am, standing next to the huge cross in the middle of the room:
Like the Cathedral, it is covered with sculptures representing Bible stories and verses, and also the story of Simon the Tanner, a Coptic saint.
Here it is the story of Joseph with Potiphar's wife:
As we came out of a smaller cave church, I was delighted to see little Marian again! She introduced us to her mother and the rest of her family who was there with her.
I so wish I had asked for their name and address, so that I could send her the pictures and a card from Paris now!
The visit ended at the top of Garbage Village, to have a better view on the area...
If you look more closely, you can see that garbage is everywhere, being recycled (85% of all garbage here is recycled, which is much more than in most Western countries!):
And you can see all kinds of animals too, mostly on top of the buildings!
It isn't beautiful, but I hope that, like me, you can think of lovely little Marian and her family, the women making crafts out of recycled products and the amazing Cave Churches, when you think about Garbage Village. That afternoon was one of the highlights of my days in Cairo. Thank you Mumtaz for taking me there and for being such a wonderful guide!
And thank you dear Sparkfriends for reading and for all your encouraging comments on my previous blogs about Cairo! This last week, as I came back to Paris a week ago, has been very busy at work, and I have been fighting a nasty bronchitis-like virus. Promise, I will be a better Sparker this week! :) And I'll post the Pyramids blog soon!!!

There is so much beauty in the world if only we keep our eyes and minds open. I would not have expected such a lovely blog about a place called Garbage City. I like the suggestion that they start calling it Recycling City. Thanks for providing some arm-chair traveling.

Wow that was totally not what I expected from the title. It has it's own dignity and charm. I'm very impressed by the churches and the attitude of the people who consider their faith as being so very important. May they be richly blessed with many graces.
Thank you for showing us this.

I just finished reading and looking at all your Cairo blogs..... Thank you for posting and how very fascinating! I would love to go there some time. I have a cousin living in France that goes to the middle east on holiday all the time. She told us she can not come to the USA until she get a new passport because of all Middle east stamps in her pass book! She came last year ans we had a wonderful visit

That was so fascinating but was there a bad odor? I was feeling bad for people's noses assaulted all day!
Then the carvings were wonderful! So much positive.
Thanks for sharing.

How delightful it was to stumble across this blog! I've read about this place before, but from a more clinical point of view, which gave me an idea of how it benefitted the city, but not that it was liveable for the residents. You have shown the human side - that even in a place that functions like the city dump, people can be clean, can take pride in their handcrafts, can have spirituality and can welcome visitors with open arms.

I have to say for being named "garbage village" there is a beauty about it and it's people "Marion" And the Cathedral is amazing. I think if we in the Western world would treat our garbage the same as these people, half our battle would have been won. Funny, I don't feel so bad about this place as I do about the trash around the Pyramids. The trash there is discarded by people who don't care how these beautiful
monuments look. And that is what the cuz said, is just that people discarded trash like they do here in our beautiful lakes, rivers and oceans. They just don't care. If everyone in the world could pick up trash, we would be pristine. It makes me sad.

Thank you Claire. It is a real education reading your blogs. Between you and a gentleman who is spending time in Cambodia on a humanitarian mission for the last 6 months, I am very fortunate to view areas of the world that I would not otherwise have the opportunity to see. This story was particularly enlightening for me as I never heard of Garbage City and it is encouraging that they are recycling 85% of all waste. I do have a query, however,..... did it not have a malodorous odor? nan

Ma ch�re Claire,
Oh how much I've learned of a place I never would have imagined seeing. That one of my SF educated me to sights not normally visited by tourist is stupendous. I so believe in recycling and have heard of people in Haiti and Nicaragua who live off the dumps, but to live to make things from the recyclable garbage..Bon Dieu! Marian est adorable et tout m'interesse de ton voyage. Merci mille fois.

I have never heard of this part of Egypt before; thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. What amazing photos ! The success of recycling is just remarkable, and it makes us look very foolish indeed. I am in absolute and complete awe of the cave churches. And what a sweet young lady you enountered there... I often reflect on the lives of children and wonder where they will be ten years from now. The people they meet and the things they see will have an affect on them.

And why do we all think that the Pyramids is the only spectacular site in Egypt? These cave churches must have been a breathtaking site, Claire! So beautiful!
I think the Garbage village should be renamed to "Recycling" village. It may look ugly but the work done there is so important and many countries would be really jealous of their recycling percentage!
Thank you for showing us such a different side of Egypt, Claire. I was really, really amazed by the pictures in this blog.

Hi Claire. What lovely crafts the women of Garbage Village make! I wonder if they are available anywhere in North America? The Mennonite CentralCommittee has shops which sell products from Third World countries, and I will definitely ask about them the next time I'm in one of their shops.
Reading your blogs about the places you work, and the people you come in contact with, makes me feel very humble, and reminds me how very lucky I am to have been born into a safe, affluent society. There are poor Canadians, of course, but over-all we have a reasonable level of comfort in our lives, and Canada has not had a war on its territory since 1812, when the Americans tried to take over at the Battle of Queenston Heights. Thanks to Laura Secord (and her cow), the English were warned in time and the Americans were defeated.
I was disappointed that Dana didn't refer to the cave churches in her sermon today; perhaps she will use the information another time. I hope that she will follow Ramaz's blogs, as I will.
Hope you are feeling better before you have to travel again.
Hugs, Gail

That is so awesome!! All of it! When you first mentioned Garbage Village and had the pictures of the trash everywhere and said people lived there I thought it was so extremely sad to live in a place like that. But then as I read on and saw the products they make and all the recycling I understood more. At first I thought it was a place where the poorest off the poor had to live among all the garbage. Glad I was wrong It is so impressive what they do with it and how much is recycled. And the cave churches are just amazing! Thanks for sharing all of that and also the people you meet as you travel You really seem to attract kids to you. Such an awesome job!

I've read about the garbage village on the outskirts of Cairo. I didn't know that they even allowed non Egyptians to see it. I love seeing homemade crafts like those. very creative. very talented people.
I've been reading about a slum in Mumbai where families collect and sell recycled materials to make a living. If you ever get the chance, see if you can find this book by Katherine Boo called Behind the Beautiful Forevers. I think you'll like it.

A World War II veteran in Lancaster has received a long overdue honor.
City council awarded Stanley Snyder, 91, his high school diploma Tuesday night. He was joined by his family, including his wife of 67 years.
In 1941, Snyder left school in ninth grade to provide for his family when his father became ill and later joined the Army.
As a machine gunner on a tank, he stormed Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-day.
When the war was over, Snyder returned to Lancaster.

Code Generation done right…
Code Generation solves a lot of problems. And everybody uses it all the day: Ever generated Getters/Setters using your IDE? Or method stubs? Or constructors?
And sometimes complete classes are generated. One famous example is Hibernate that is able to generate Java classes from a database schema.
Most of the projects I have seen so far use a templating engine (FreeMarker or Velocity) to create the source files. Hibernate switched from Velocity to FreeMarker some years ago…
This approach is quite good for simple cases. Those can be solved quite fast using that approach.
But things get worse, if you have to generate more sophisticated code. Of course FreeMarker supports conditions and you can do quite amazing things using complex model classes. On the other hand those templates start to get really complicated and hard to debug over time.
And of course you always have two sources: The template file and your data model.
One thing special to Java source files are the imports. When you conditionally use a class somewhere, you also have to add the import statement conditionally… Nothing that can be solved easily using FreeMarker.
So sometimes one might wish to have a nice API that does all the dirty work for you…
The alternative: Codemodel
I have looked around to find such an API. And it took me quite a long time to find one.
And that API is quite near beside you. Just a little bit hidden.
JAXB has a sub project called codemodel. This is an API that allows you to create Java classes by just using an API…
How to use Codemodel
There is no separate jar for codemodel. But the classes are shipped with every JAXB installation. So since JDK 1.6 the classes are just here and waiting to be used. But since they have renamed the package as "internal" I suggest to import the JAXB jar manually:
For Maven users this should be enough:
<dependency> <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId> <artifactId>jaxb-xjc</artifactId> <version>2.2.1</version> </dependency>
A quick introduction
The API is not perfect yet. And it is not documented very well. But it is nearly complete and I didn't miss much.
Here is a short example that should give you a fast start:
JCodeModel codeModel = new JCodeModel(); JDefinedClass foo = codeModel._class( "a.b.c.Foo" ); //Creates a new class JMethod method = foo.method( JMod.PUBLIC, Void.TYPE, "doFoo" ); //Adds a method to the class method.body()._return( JExpr.lit( 42 ) ); //the return statement
The code can be written to the file system. But it can also be written to a single output stream. This is great for testing:
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); codeModel.build( new SingleStreamCodeWriter( out ) );
This code outputs that code:
-----------------------------------a.b.c.Foo.java----------------------------------- package a.b.c; public class Foo { public void doFoo() { return 42; } }
Great, isn't it?

Who knew that the lives of some of the country's top generals resembled nothing so much as an episode of "Jersey Shore"?
First came retired Gen. David Petraeus, who stepped aside as CIA director on Nov. 9 after acknowledging an extramarital affair with a woman named Paula Broadwell. That little liaison "won" Petraeus the Worst Week in Washington a week ago. Little did we know that it was only the first chapter of an increasingly tawdry novel.
In the last week, we have learned the following facts:
1) The affair between Petraeus and Broadwell was exposed after Broadwell sent threatening emails to another woman, Jill Kelley, whom she thought was flirting with the general;
2) Kelley told an FBI friend about the threatening emails. There are conflicting reports as to whether the FBI agent ultimately was removed from the case because of an unusually high level of interest in Kelley;
3) In the course of the FBI examination of Broadwell and Kelley, the bureau came across scads of emails between Kelley and Gen. John Allen, who was in line to become the next head of the U.S. European Command – a posting that is now on hold.
All of this proves for the umpteenth time that fact is stranger than fiction and that, yes, life really does imitate high school.
Generals, for watching your sterling reputations be tarnished, perhaps permanently, you had the worst week in Washington. Again. Congrats, or something.

Tips for Navigating First-Time Home Buyers Through Homeownership, Housing Bill
RISMEDIA, August 13, 2008-(MCT/RISMedia)-Some first-time home buyers find it difficult to save up the cash needed for a deposit on a desired property. While those buyers may forever struggle to fill that cookie jar, President George W. Bush inked a bill last month aimed at giving those entering the housing market a financial boost.
"First-time home buyers make up about 40 percent of the entire market," Sandy Dunn, president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Point Pleasant, W.Va., said during a recent news tele-conference. "They don't have a home to sell and they bring demand to the market. As more than 2 million anticipated first-time buyers enter the market and claim the credit, this will stimulate buying up the housing ladder."
For homes bought between April 9 and June 30 by first-time home buyers, the law provides a one-time refundable tax credit of $7,500 or 10% of the property's purchase price.
However, this is not a free-money deal.
For example, a buyer who claims the $7,500 tax credit on their 2008 tax return will be required to pay back that money in $500 annual increments deducted from their income taxes for 15 years starting in 2010.
While getting more first-time home buyers into the market will help to whittle down existing inventory, Ed Brady, a home builder from Illinois who builds about 130 homes annually, noted that the new law provides FHA insurance for a program geared to prevent families facing foreclosure from losing their homes.
"Together, the first-time home buyer tax credit and foreclosure relief in the housing bill will help to reduce inventories," said Brady. "In turn, this will firm up prices and send a signal that we are either at the bottom or very near the bottom and that there isn't a better time to buy than today's market."
But, before a first-time home buyer can take advantage of the tax credit, they must qualify to buy a house and fully understand all that this new plan offers. According to a survey of 1,029 adults with household incomes of $40,000 or more, conducted by Market Tools on behalf of Beazer Homes, 77% of respondents were unaware of the new temporary tax credit. What's more, however, 29% of survey respondents said the availability of such a credit would increase their likelihood of purchasing a new home now.
So, here are answers to some commonly asked questions about first-time homeownership and expert opinions on how to guide your new home buyers through the process:
How is the real estate market for the first-time home buyer?
"For the first-time home buyer, the market is very good. The number of properties on the market gives them a much greater choice compared to a few years ago. And with much more properties on the market, it allows the buyer much more room to negotiate price." — Steve Snell, executive director of the Realtors Association of York & Adams Counties in Pennsylvania.
What should first-time home buyers be looking for, in terms of price?
"My only counsel is, if we have learned anything over the years, that first-time home buyers should not overbuy. They should determine what their needs are over their wants. The high number of foreclosures in the county tell us that some people cut it too close. You have to allow a little room for life to happen," Snell said.
How much does a buyer need to put down on a house?
"The majority of first-time home buyers will need 3% down. A buyer can still get 6 percent seller assistance — that's money, up to 6 percent of the sale price of the house, given back to the buyer by the seller to help with closing costs." — Raymond McGettigan of Fidelis Mortgage in Lancaster County.
Which type of homes are first-time home buyers looking to purchase?
"In terms of first-time home buyers, we are seeing them stay in the $150,000 range and looking for starter homes that could have two bedrooms and one bath," McGettigan said.
What credit range should a first-time home buyer have in order to buy a home?
At a minimum, they should have a 580 score. Anyone in the 700 range has good control of their finances. The higher the score, the better your interest rate is going to be," McGettigan said.
When it comes to the real estate outlook, NAR President Richard F. Gaylord, a broker with RE/MAX Real Estate Specialists in Long Beach, Calif., said the housing stimulus package will provide long-term relief. "Provisions to stem foreclosures are helpful, but a greater lift to the economy should come from higher mortgage limits, enhancements to the FHA loan program and the first-time home buyer tax credit," he said.
"These are excellent tools that will help buyers get into the market to take advantage of the unprecedented drop in home prices in many areas, as well as a wide selection of inventory, to make an investment in their future."

San Diego With revenue rising again for hotels and other businesses, a fundraising mechanism approved by city voters has been triggered for the first time and will lead to $2.5 million in additional improvements this year to Mission Bay Park.
The money is available because Proposition C, which 67 percent of voters favored in 2008, calls for a significant portion of excess revenue generated by leases there to be reinvested in the 4,235-acre park.
The initiative was supposed to be a financial boon for Mission Bay Park, but the economic recession saw lease revenue dip and no extra money was generated until now.
City Councilman Kevin Faulconer announced the $2.5 million sum during his State of the District address Wednesday night. The money will go toward an estimated $400 million in repairs and other planned park projects.
Proposition C listed seven goals in order of priority for the extra park funding. Dredging topped the list, followed by wetland expansion, stabilizing erosion controls, expanding preserves for endangered or threatened species, completion of bicycle and pedestrian paths, restoration of sea walls and other deferred maintenance.
The remaining 25 percent of the revenue is to be spent on six regional parks, including Balboa, Chollas Lake and Otay River Valley.

It isn't until August and September that prairie gardeners begin to collect apples from various apple trees — if not their own, then a neighbour's. A single mature apple tree can produce an immense amount of fruit, enough literally to feed the whole neighbourhood.
Often neighbours and friends who have apple trees are only too glad to give apples away to people who want them; food banks and soup kitchens often benefit from this bounty as well.

A prolific character actor on television since the early 1990s, Michael Harney frequently essayed tough men with deeply complicated interior lives in such acclaimed series as "NYPD Blue" (ABC 1993-2005), "Deadwood" (HBO 2005-2006) and "Weeds" (Showtime 2005-2012). Harney's ability to tap into the emotional and spiritual elements of his characters was the result of substantial training and work on the New York theater scene, as well as his early career path as a social worker and prison reform advocate.

I asked that any invoice be emailed to me but I never got any response at all. The gift was delivered but i dont know if the recipient saw the cost. Tue 15 Jan 2013 Fantastic log carrier. Securely carries logs into the house without dropping log debris on the floor. Holds plenty of logs too! Very pleased with it, looks great and practical! Thu 10 Jan 2013 The person I bought it for absolutely loved it and the little tag on it telling the history of the product was a nice touch. Only criticism is it was a bit smelly when it arrived and had to be left outside to air for a few days before wrapping it up. Sun 02 Dec 2012 Very pleased with the product item - exactly as shown in the pictures Sat 24 Nov 2012 This is a great item. Looks good and I'm enjoying carrying my logs in it. Would thoroughly recommend it. I wondered how it would work and if the logs would fall out - but it does and the logs stay put. Wed 21 Nov 2012 This looks even better in reality than it looks in the picture. It also seems to be a strong, good quality product.

Sat 18 Feb 2012 No comment supplied. Tue 31 Jan 2012 Thoroughly satisfied with the log carrier I bought, just as described and it arrived in record time. Thank you! Wed 25 Jan 2012 I chose this log carrier because the straps go all the way underneath rather than being sewn on at the top as I think this will stop the handles from pulling off with the weight of the logs. It is perfect for us as it's hard wearing and being recycled and low cost we won't worry about using it daily. Mon 02 Jan 2012 Very well made and much nicer than I expected. Sent to me in reused packaging which was appropriate and received promptly after I placed the order. Good value for money. Would recommend for anyone who goes walking through the woods for firewood.

Music Review: Another ace up sleeves for Pistol Annies
The Pistol Annies, "Annie Up" (RCA Nashville)
Thursday, May 9, 2013
"Annie Up" is a good title for the Pistol Annies' second album. Like the gambling term it playfully puns, the title underscores that this brash trio is raising the stakes, investing more time, effort and artistic nerve into its new 12-song collection.
The gamble pays off: "Annie Up" builds on the trio's successful debut "Hell on Heels" by taking even more risks with bold material and inventive arrangements. Mixing bawdy humor with sensitive insight, the Annies entertainingly take on real-life issues, including how Southern families quell their secrets ("Hush Hush"), how alcoholics curse themselves while pouring another drink ("Dear Sobriety") and how women struggle with what it takes to prepare for an evening ("Being Pretty Ain't Pretty").
The Pistol Annies began as a side lark for country music star Miranda Lambert. Formed with songwriting buddies Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, the trio's debut initially was available only through the Internet and without the full promotional effort given Lambert's other albums. But fan support and significant sales lifted these fully armed artists into a significant, ground-breaking act. Rather than play it safe, they roll the dice with another daring collection that should lift their profiles even higher.

Visitors to the aircraft exhibition on German Aerospace Day can take a look at the unique aircraft that make up the DLR Research Fleet: the world's most advanced helicopter EC135 FHS, the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, a 'flying auditorium', DLR's largest aircraft Airbus A320 ATRA, the Dassault Falcon 20E, the Eurocopter BO105 and the parabolic flight aircraft Airbus A300 ZERO-G. This exhibition will open to the public at lunchtime.
The German Air Force will provide the following: Transall C-160D, Tornado, Global 5000, Eurofighter, CH-53G, A319 CJ, A-310 als MRTT (Multi Roll Transporter and Tanker), A-310 mit MedEvac-Rüstsatz.
The exhibition also features a Boeing 777 owned by FedEx, a Boeing 767-300 operated by UPS and the German Federal Police AS 332 L1 Super Puma.
Please note: admission to the aircraft exhibition closes at 17:00.
Last modified: 12/09/2013 15:59:03
The Airbus A320-232 D-ATRA, DLR's largest fleet member, has been in operation since the end of 2008.
The smallest aircraft of DLR's Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility is a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, registration D-FDLR. The single-engine turboprop aircraft is mainly used by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for remote sensing. It is especially well suited for camera flights, such as those with the HRSC (High Resolution Stereo Camera), operated by DLR and also used in space missions.
The tasks for which the BO 105 helicopter is deployed include testing and measuring avionics systems and analysing helicopter properties.
The Falcon during a measurement flight in Malaysia.
The Transall C-160D is a medium-size tactical transport aircraft designed and built by a German-French consortium. Owing to its design and construction, the Transall is well suited for use on makeshift airfields, such as are common in Africa. In the configuration with enhanced self-protection (erweitertem Selbstschutz; ESS) the aircraft has additional protective measures. The Transall C-160D is a high-wing, twin-engined transport plane developed for military use. The tail is also mounted as high as possible to accommodate cargo through a large ramp at the rear.
Toni Dahmen/Luftwaffe.
The Tornado is an all-weather two-seat fighter aircraft developed by three nations; it was introduced into the German armed forces from 1980. It is also used by the UK and Italy in a variety of roles. Delivery of the first Tornadoes to the German Army began in 1981 and was completed in 1992 with the handover of the last Tornado ECR. A total of 357 aircraft were delivered.
Markus Kroth/Luftwaffe.
The four new Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft are suitable for flights over medium distances. Small delegations, with a maximum of 12 people, can fly in the Global 5000, for example, non-stop from Berlin to Washington. The Canadian manufactured planes are equipped with a VIP cabin and have been brought into service by the Flugbereitschaft des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung (an air transport squadron of the Luftwaffe) since the autumn of 2011.
Volker Mais/Luftwaffe.
The German Air Force procured 180 Eurofighters, a modern weapons system for use in the air defence (air to air) and air assault (air to ground) roles. The decommissioning of the F-4F Phantoms and parts of the Tornado fleet tuned the structure of the Air Force to suit its modern tasks. The Eurofighter is a key element in ensuring the future of the Air Force's contribution to the required capability profile of the armed forces and the related treaty obligations.
Jacqueline Faller/Luftwaffe.
The CH-53 transport helicopter is used for carrying both passengers and supplies as well as for special tasks. In two or three different build series since 1975, the aircraft used by the Armed Forces is now the operational responsibility of the Air Force. The Sikorsky S-65 (military designation CH-53) is manufactured by the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.
PIZ EG MeS/Bundeswehr.
The Airbus A319 CJ (Corporate Jetliner) is designed for short and medium haul use by delegations of medium size. The Air Force uses the twin-engine aircraft, especially in the political-parliamentary area, for VIP flights and for transport and medevac flights, that is, for the transport of injured or sick patients. The Airbus A319 CJ, as well as the other models in the renewed fleet, is rapidly convertible between roles. Through the use of up to four external fuel tanks, the range of the aircraft can be increased to 7600 kilometres. Two Airbus A319CJs have been in service with the Flugbereitschaft des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung (an air transport squadron of the Luftwaffe) since the summer of 2010.
Since September 2010, the German Air Force has had the capability for strategic air refuelling. With the installation of internal fuel tanks and a corresponding conversion kit for air refuelling, the Airbus A310 MRT (Multi Role Transport) converts to the MRTT (Multi Role Tanker Transport). The in-flight refuelling system uses the 'hose and drogue' technique, where hoses with baskets, or drogues, at the end are deployed from under-wing pods. Tornadoes and Eurofighters can be refuelled, creating a force that can be deployed strategically over long distances. The tanked can carry 72 tons of fuel, of which 46 tons can be delivered for air-air refuelling.
Ingo Bicker/Luftwaffe.
The medevac conversion for the Airbus A310 MRT MedEvac consists of up to six patient transport units that meet the highest standards for intensive care and 38 positions for recumbent patients, of which 16 are seats where increased medical surveillance and treatment is possible. The Airbus MedEvac can thus carry a total of 44 patients. Depending on the number of patients and the types of injuries sustained, the medical crew can consist of up to 25 people. The 'Medical Crew' responds to emergencies throughout Germany and consists of specialist doctors, specialist nurses and paramedics. An Air Force flight surgeon is responsible for the medical-organisational management. The overall responsibility for air transport lies with the commander of the aircraft. At Cologne-Bonn Airport, an Airbus A310 MRT MedEvac is partially equipped in constant readiness. To complete the full equipment and technical preparation, after an alert requires approximately 4-6 hours.
A medevac conversion can be installed in all the A310s operated by the Flugbereitschaft des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung (an air transport squadron of the Luftwaffe).
