8 Month Old Baby Sleep Case Study now available – it includes tips on reducing and eliminating night wakings, lengthening naps, and coping with the 8/9/10 month sleep regression. Scroll down for details!
This article outlines the average 8 month old baby schedule, including feedings, solids, naps and night sleep.
8 month old's sleep
At this age, many 8 month olds can sleep through the night, without a feeding, but some won't and will continue to need 1-2 feedings up through 9+ months old. And, 8 month old babies take 2-3 naps daily for a total of 2-3 hours per day plus 11-12 hours at night. If you're having trouble with naps, you might be interested in helping your If you're having trouble with naps, you might be interested in helping your baby nap.
All babies vary, but here are some rough schedules you can use to make your own for your unique baby. I should warn you that I am in the camp that breast milk or formula should be the primary nutrition for the first year and solids come secondary. Below are the amounts we recommend. For more information on starting your baby on solid food, visit our sister site, Your Baby's Start To Solid Foods. It includes recommendations about how and when to start solids, as well as helpful information on food allergies, recommended products, baby-friendly recipes, and more.
The amount of food at 8 months is very similar to the 7 month baby schedule, but you will most likely go to 3 small meals per day, rather than just 2.
Amounts per day:
• At least 5 nursing sessions per day or 26-32 ounces formula or combination
• No more than 2-4 oz of water or juice (to ensure they drink enough breast milk or formula)
• 2-3 servings baby cereal or grains (1 serving cereal = 1-2 Tablespoons dry and grains include Cheerios, 2 crackers, etc.)
• 2 servings fruit (1 serving = 2-3 Tablespoons)
• 2-3 servings vegetable (1 serving = 2-3 Tablespoons)
• 1-2 servings protein (1 serving = 1-2 Tablespoons)
• 1 serving Dairy (1 serving = 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/3 cup cottage cheese or 1 oz grated cheese)
• You can also offer cooked egg yolk (but no egg whites until 1 year old due to allergens)
The first schedule is what I call a "staggered" approach. My first son did better with a full feeding and then having solids a bit in between. He was a little hungry but not famished. He just didn't do well with stopping nursing or his bottle mid-way to eat solids.
Sample 8 month old schedule
If your baby has already transitioned to just 2 naps, please see the 9 month old baby schedule for a sample schedule.
Schedule 1
7:00 – Wake and Breast milk or Formula
8:15 – Breakfast
9:00 – Morning Nap (at least 1 hour)
10:00 – Breast milk or Formula
11:00 – Lunch
12:30 – Breast milk or Formula
1:00 – Early Afternoon Nap (at least 1 hour)
2:00 – Breast milk or Formula
4:00 – Optional Catnap (30-45 minutes)
4:30 or 5:00 – Dinner
6:15 – Begin bedtime routine
7:00 – Breast milk or Formula and Bedtime (goal to be asleep at this time)
+Plus possibly 1 nighttime feeding
If your baby doesn't mind a more "consolidated" approach to eating, like my second son, here is another type of schedule:
Schedule 2
7:00 – Wake
7:15 – Breakfast plus Breast milk or Formula feeding
9:00 – Morning Nap (at least 1 hour)
10:00 – Breast milk or Formula
11:00 – Lunch
12:30 – Breast milk or Formula
1:00 – Afternoon Nap (at least 1 hour)
3:00 – Breast milk or Formula
5:30 – Dinner plus Breast milk / Formula feeding
6:15 – Begin bedtime routine
7:00 – Breast milk or Formula
+Plus possibly 1 nighttime feeding
Note: When giving any feedings during your bedtime routine, be careful not to create sleep associations, which we saw become important at 4 months old.

Sections E & F
Professor Ellis Fall Semester, 2006
Sections E & F will meet weekly Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. in Room 305. Make-up classes for anticipated class cancellations are scheduled for September1 and 8.
The casebook we shall be using is Henderson, Pearson and Siliciano, The Torts Process (6th ed. 2003). I also highly recommend Peter N. Simon, The Anatomy of a Lawsuit (Rev'd ed. 1996). A Bibliography of related materials, some of which I may specifically recommend during the course, is on this website. The more important of the works mentioned are on reserve for this course in the Law Library. They are listed on the Syllabus page.
First Day Assignment:
For the first class meeting on Monday, August 21, read the homepage for this course and read and be prepared to discuss pages 1-15 of Henderson, Pearson and Siliciano [hereafter, HP&S]. Prepare a written brief of the first case, Vosberg v. Putney, following the outline that appears at the end of this introductory page.
The tentative Syllabus for the course, which may be changed as the semester progresses, indicates the topics we plan to cover and the order in which they will be discussed. Specific assignments will be made in each class for the next class; they will also appear on the Assignments page of this site. It too will likely be changed as we go. In general, if you keep about fifteen pages ahead in the Assignments you should not fall behind. Do not attempt to prepare much further ahead of the class, as you will find that class discussion will frequently inform your understanding of subsequent material.
How to Contact Me:
Please feel free to come by my office, Room 559, any weekday afternoon. You may also contact me via email, email@example.com, or by phone, 55811, where you may leave a message on my voice mail if I am not available to take your call.
Course Objectives:
As you are now in law school, you probably expect to learn something about the law of torts in a course called TORTS. And you will. The Torts course comprises the study of a system of law that provides civil (as opposed to criminal) remedies for wrongs other than breaches of contracts. The substantive law studied in Torts is predominantly common law, i.e., law crafted and honed by judges over centuries. (In the Anglo-American tradition, legislation has played a peripheral, almost ephemeral role in the law of torts.) The remedies provided by tort law are usually -- but not exclusively -- money damages.
But learning the law of torts, in the sense that you might have learned history or chemistry, is not the sole or even the principal objective of this course. Because tort law is court-made law, understanding process is critical. "Process" here has a dual meaning. It refers to the process of the law's evolution from case to case as different circumstances call for different results. It also refers to the interplay of substantive law and procedure. You must develop an understanding of the elements of judicial procedure to appreciate how the procedural posture of a case influences its outcome and the reach of its holding. Finally, as will be true of your other courses, we will strive to sharpen your skills of critical reading, thoughtful analysis, and articulate synthesis, all of which are fundamental to your legal education.
Seating Chart:
Please be aware that the seat you choose on the first day of class will be your permanent seat for the semester. Be sure to sign the seating chart as, inter alia, [note how lawyers sprinkle their writings and sometimes speech with Latin phrases -- they display our erudition to lay persons] it will constitute the attendance record.
Class Attendance and Participation:
You are expected to attend class regularly.
You are expected to be on time.
You will be allowed eight absences during the semester. Prudence suggests that you reserve these until you need them, perhaps because you become very ill or you urgently need to be elsewhere (e.g., for family emergency, an interview, or participation in a law school activity). Excessive absences, more than eight but fewer than twelve, will result in the reduction of your final grade in this course by one point for each absence in excess of eight. Twelve or more absences will result in your being withdrawn from the course.
When you are called upon in class, stand up so others may see and hear you and so you become accustomed to thinking on your feet. You may find that your initial response to a question is inadequate, incomplete, or incorrect. Don't let that upset you. This process is not intended to embarrass or humiliate you. (So be kind to your classmates when they are being questioned.) Lawyers commonly find themselves in situations where they must make a persuasive presentation -- to a jury, a judge or panel of judges, an administrative body, a board of directors, a large audience, etc. -- in the face of vocal skepticism or opposition and must be able to think on their feet. Your experience in this course will help you prepare to face such situations confidently.
You have a professional obligation to prepare for class. I shall conduct the class as a Socratic discussion, which means that what you get out of the class is a function both of your own preparation and the level of preparation of your classmates -- and vice versa. Should you not be prepared, give me a note at the podium before class. If you are unprepared and notify me in advance, it will count as one-half an absence. If you are unprepared and do not notify me, it will count as two absences.
Class Preparation
Preparing for class encompasses two elements. First, it requires reading and understanding the assigned material.
| Understanding the material
may require you to
You know how to read or you would not be here. You may have acquired the ability to skim read a large quantity of material quickly, extracting the gist of its content. That is a skill that will benefit you as a lawyer. Don't lose it. But it is not the way to prepare for class (nor for an office memorandum or brief or oral argument).
Preparation for class requires that you read the assigned material intensely.
Briefing Cases:
Second, class preparation entails preparing a brief of the principal case or cases in the assignment. Underscoring or highlighting parts of the text is not a substitute for your personally prepared brief.
Why brief cases?
There once was a time when a sufficient answer would have been, "Because the professor requires it." But, as parents quickly learn and law students soon come to appreciate, an answer such as that simply generates another question, "Why?"
First, because the process of briefing significantly aids your understanding of the case and provides a foundation for critiquing the decision. It disciplines your reading. In effect, the briefing process compels you to read with a mental check list of questions that you will be asking the judicial opinion to answer. A "canned" brief, or a brief written by some other student obviously lacks this benefit.
Second, as you brief the cases on a daily basis, you are compiling an invaluable source for review and reference when you prepare for the examination in this course and, later, for the bar examination.
Third, you are developing a skill that you will utilize throughout your career. As a practicing lawyer, you will draw upon your ability to encapsulate the essence of a judicial decision -- precisely and critically -- and then to marshal it in aid of your analysis, argument, or advice.
A brief, in the sense we are using it here, is a stylized written analytical summary and appraisal of the important elements of a judicial opinion. (Almost all the opinions we shall read were rendered by appellate courts.) You probably encountered one model of a case brief during orientation. It embodies the critical elements of the standard case brief. However, you will find that different professors will emphasize different aspects, and not just because of personal preference. In Torts, we will be exploring the crucial interplay of process, substantive law, principle, and policy. I therefore place more emphasis on your understanding the procedure in the case than your other teachers may. Procedure comes first.
Your brief should generally follow this outline:
| 1. What
proceedings have taken place thus far in the case?
2. What did the appellate court do with the case?
3. What are the relevant facts in the view of the appellate court?
4. What are the issues before the court?
5. What are the appellant's (petitioner's, complainant's) arguments on the issue?
6. What are the appellee's (respondent's) arguments?
7. What does the case hold?
8. What was the court's rationale? Why did it adopt the holding(s) that it did?
9. Were there concurring or dissenting judges who wrote opinions?
10. How do you evaluate the court's decision?
11. Does the case contain important dicta* ?
(*You might need to look up that word.)

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- Ninety-four-year-old Elmer Roehrs was found dead in his Alexandria home on Wednesday night, police say.
Alexandria police officials say they received a call at 6:50 p.m. on Wednesday about trouble at a home in the 2700 block of Holly Avenue. When police arrived, relatives told the officers that they found their father unconscious and not breathing in the house. He appeared to have upper body trauma.
Medics arrived to the scene and pronounced Roehrs dead. The cause of his death will be determined pending an autopsy by the medical examiner's office.
Police say that a burglary happened at the same house on November 27, 2012. They arrested a woman at approximately 3:15 a.m. Thursday in the 1400 block of Duke Street. After an interview with detectives, Marie Maybell Johnson was charged with burglary and grand larceny for the incident from November. Police say, however, that she has not been charged in relation to the incident from Wednesday.
Police continue to investigate the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Section of the Alexandria Police Department at 703-746-6711.

1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass - The Whole Suspen-Chilada - PHR Project CarWritten by on February 1, 2010 Contributors: Robert McGaffin We Show You How To Install A Complete DSE Suspension, And Get The Most Out Of It By Fine-Tuning The Corner Weights And Alignment.
The art of engineering, unfortunately, is often a compromise dictated by the lowest common denominator. How else can you explain the existence of Macintosh computers, Jitterbug cell phones, and TiVo? The factory suspension design of a typical muscle car is no different. In retrospect, while it may seem like Detroit engineers of the '60s were absolutely clueless, they knew exactly what they were doing. With rippling big-blocks, squirmy bias-ply tires, and four-speed sticks shocking the driveline with each powershift, saving drivers from their own incompetence took precedence over trying to set new lap records at the Nürburgring. Spindles that pointed toward the wrong end of the car (forward) and front tires that gained positive camber as the suspension compressed were common tricks used to ensure loads of easy-to-manage understeer at the expense of sharp handling. Our '65 Olds Cutlass project car is no exception, and to fix what the factory intentionally messed up, we decided to install a complete Detroit Speed and Engineering front suspension system.
DSE's comprehensive Speed Kit 3 (PN 031326) includes tubular upper and lower control arms, forged drop spindles, coilovers, a splined sway bar, a quick-ratio steering box, and tie rods. When matched with the DSE four-link we installed last month, the result is a state-of-the-art suspension, designed and built to modern standards, that can fend off the most agile of autocross aggressors. Nevertheless, merely installing the parts is only half the battle. Maximizing the cornering potential of any chassis requires meticulously scaling, aligning, and corner-weighting the suspension. To help us get everything dialed in, stepping up to the plate once again is Brent Jarvis of Performance Restorations. Not only does Jarvis build Pro Touring muscle machines for a living, he's a diehard A-Body man who's been racing them since 1974. He's logged hundreds of miles on the road course and autocross behind the wheel of various A-Bodies over the decades, and drives to work every day in a big-block-powered '68 Chevelle-on R-compound tires! Here's a step-by-step outline of how to install a trick front suspension, and just as importantly, how to fine-tune the alignment and cornerweights in preparation for high-g combat.
"To properly align a car, you first need to determine the real usage of the vehicle. It should always be done with the simulated weight of the driver in the car. McGaffin intends on driving his car a lot on the street and taking it to the autocross, but doesn't want to have to switch his alignment back and forth. I've been carefully monitoring tire wear on all the street and race cars that we build, and have come up with some great all-around specs that work well on a dual-purpose car like this Olds. On a setup like this, I like to dial in 1.5 degrees of negative camber, 6.5 degrees of positive caster, and set the toe-in 1/8 inch. I like a lot of caster for a couple reasons. It gives great steering wheel feel. It prevents the car from climbing the sides of uneven roads. It counteracts negative camber on the inside tire when turning, and increases negative camber on the outside tire when turning.
"After assembling the suspension, the caster and camber were almost perfect, while the toe only needed some minor adjusting to get it close. I only needed to remove one shim to tweak the camber and set the toe, and we were done. I see lots of guys camber in the front ends over 3 degrees and run toe out at the autocross, and while it does help the cornering a bunch, it will just grind the rubber off the inside edges of the tires when driving around town. There is always some give and take when it comes to alignment, however, my '68 Chevelle tips the scales at 4,000 pounds with me in it, and I've run these same specs as in the Olds for over 6,000 miles this summer. I've road raced, autocrossed, and drag raced on a set of R-compound tires, and they still have plenty of tread left." -Brent Jarvis
Tire Pressure
"Road racing and autocrossing A-Bodies for years has revealed that you need a huge difference in front-to-rear tire pressure. A-Bodies are front-heavy and almost always have smaller tires on the front. Consequently, we preset the tire pressures at 37 psi up front and 32 psi in the rear. Autocross will always use a little less air pressure than when road racing because you don't have the same high-speed lateral g-forces on the tires. Tire pressure is one of the best adjusting points on the car when on the autocross. As a general rule of thumb, if the car is experiencing oversteer, either lower the rear pressure or raise the front pressure. If the car is experiencing understeer, either raise the rear pressure or lower the front pressure. This is assuming you have the car dialed in fairly close to ideal, and you're watching the tires closely for even wear and heat transfer across the tread." -Brent Jarvis
Corner Weights
"After setting the alignment and tire pressure, the corner weights can be dialed in. If a car's corner weights are out of whack, you'll end up with a car that turns in one direction better than the other. That's because the tires and sway bars will be loaded unevenly. It makes a huge difference if you set up the corner weights right, and you will definitely turn faster lap times. That said, it is impossible to get any lefthand or righthand drive car perfect unless you build it from scratch with weight placement in mind. With the exception of a select few high-end sports cars, all cars are front heavy, with most of that weight biased toward the left side. The weight of the driver, steering wheel and column, steering box, brake master cylinder and booster, power steering pump, gauges, foot pedals, and sometimes the battery all add up to one big unbalanced mess. As a suspension tuner, it's our mission to get these weights as close as we can without making the car lean to one side or the other. The beauty of coilovers is that they allow you to fine-tune the corner weights, raising or lowering one corner of the car individually." -Brent Jarvis

DSE's Speed Kits can be had for both '64-67 and '68-72 GM A-Bodies. Speed Kit 1 (PN 031312; $2,315) includes upper and lower control arms, drop spindles, Koni shocks, and performance springs. Speed Kit 2 (PN 031319; $2,590) adds a mandrel-bent sway bar, and DSE coilovers. We opted for Speed Kit 3 (PN 031326; $3,982), which includes everything in Speed Kit 2, plus a quick-ratio steering box, a splined sway bar, and tie rods.A suspension is only as good as its tires, so it doesn't make much sense to invest in a top-notch suspension unless the wheels and tires are upgraded as well. As purchased, Project Olds wears wimpy 235/60 radials on factory 14-inch wheels. Once the car was secured on jackstands, the 14s were dumped in favor of a set of sticky 18-inch Nitto NT01 rubber.When battling 40-plus years worth of rust, penetrating lube and an air ratchet or a big breaker bar are your friends. Since the DSE kit literally replaces every suspension component inside the wheelwell, it's easiest to remove both control arms, the spindles, and brakes as a single assembly. Jarvis says that it's imperative to use a quality spring compressor before removing tension from the springs to prevent them from flying out. After unbolting the control arms, tie rods, sway bar endlinks, shocks and brake lines, all the stock hardware drops right out.Even those endowed with impressive biceps should seek the help of a friend to remove the control arm and spindle assembly out of the car. The stock arms are massive pieces of stamped steel that add unnecessary unsprung weight. The same applies to the factory drum brakes, which will be replaced with Baer discs in a future issue.Once the suspension is out of the way, it's a great time to degrease the exposed framerails and hit it with a coat of paint. Any portion of the framerail that may have gotten scuffed up during the parts removal process will rust out very quickly, so this procedure isn't strictly for aesthetics.DSE's upper control arms feature two sets of offset bushings that can be flipped end-over-end to orient the bolthole in multiple directions. This changes how much the top of the spindle points rearward, resulting in a total of four different caster settings to choose from. Jarvis elected to position the upper control arms as far rearward as possible to maximize positive caster at 6.5 degrees.The upper control arms attach to the frame rails using the stock 7/16-inch bolts, and a set of nyloc nuts and washers provided with the kit. Jarvis says 1.5 degrees of negative camber is ideal for street-driven A-Bodies that will also see time on the autocross. To accomplish this, he installed two adjustment shims on the front bolt and four on the rear bolt. Afterward, everything was cinched down to 50 lb-ft.Over time, the lower control arm can wear grooves and burrs into their mounting brackets. Although it's not mandatory, grinding the pivot areas flat will help minimize the potential for binding once the new arms are installed. If you don't have access to an air grinder, a hand file will work just as well.The lower control arms attach to the framerail using factory bolts torqued to 80 lb-ft. Unlike squeak-prone urethane, the Delrin bushings used in the DSE setup don't require any grease. Moving the arm through its range of travel confirmed that the integrated bump stops lined up to the framerail properly.
The forged 4140 steel DSE drop spindles are 1.5 inches taller than stock, which increases negative camber gain and lowers ride height by 2 inches. Before installing the coilovers and with the left and right sides of the suspension in place, Jarvis mocked the spindles into position to get the ideal ride height. This is when the center of the ball joints and the center of the lower control arm bushings are parallel. By placing a straightedge on top of the jackstands on each side of the car, it will be used as a reference point for the initial ride height setting in a future step once the suspension is all buttoned up.With the spindles mocked up, Jarvis slid the coilovers into position, which feature 650 lb/in springs. The bottom crossbars attach to the lower control arms using supplied 3/8-inch bolts and nyloc nuts that torque to 35 lb-ft. Next, the shock shafts were bolted to the framerails with 5/16-inch nyloc nuts. Using a 1/2-inch box-end wrench to hold the shaft still, the nut should be tightened one turn beyond the point at which the rubber bumper on the shaft starts to compress.Using the supplied DSE hardware, the upper and lower ball joint castellated nuts were tightened to 50 and 80 lb-ft, respectively, before installing the cotter pins. The tie rods were torqued to 55 lb-ft on the spindles. While it's difficult to notice in pictures, DSE relocates the tie-rod mounting points to minimize bumpsteer.In addition to vastly improved geometry and lower mass, DSE's tubular control arms free up precious real estate inside the wheelwells. When stuffing as much contact patch underneath a car is the goal, that extra space is always a good thing.To set the baseline ride height, Jarvis used the reference point established in an earlier step (after mocking up the spindles) to help adjust the coilovers. This required moving the springs upward approximately an inch from the bottom of the threads. Fortunately, the DSE coilovers feature a Torrington bearingwedged between the bottom of the spring and the shock collar, which makes adjustment far easier.One of the slickest components in DSE's kit is the heat-treated, 1.5-inch-diameter, 4130 splined front sway bar. In a conventional mandrel-bent bar, the torsional loads are distributed to the primary and swing arm sections of the sway bar. With a splined unit, torsional loads are absorbed entirely by the bar itself. This yields reduced deflection and free play for enhanced responsiveness.Jarvis says advanced racers can drill multiple holes into the swing arms of a splined sway bar to fine-tune the stiffness. The shorter the length of the swing arm, the stiffer the sway bar will become. For our needs, we decided to leave well enough alone.The sway bar attaches to the frame in the stock location with a pair of billet aluminum pillow blocks that ride on Delrin bushings. Before raising the sway bar into position, the swing arms were slid onto the bar and tightened to 25 lb-ft using the supplied 3/8-inch bolts and nyloc nuts.
The DSE setup fit beautifully in one afternoon without any unforeseen hiccups. Despite the sway bar's substantial girth, its trim swing arm design actually increases tire clearance compared to the stock bar. Although the DSE steering box was installed at the same time as the front suspension, we plan on dedicating a separate story to it in a future issue.After cinching down the pillow blocks to 20 lb-ft using the supplied bolts and high-strength Loctite, the sway bar must be centered. To accomplish this, the distance from the end of the pillow block to the end of the sway bar should measure approximately 2.875 inches. Next, the aluminum lock collars must be tightened to 10 lb-ft using medium-strength Loctite to prevent the sway bar from moving from side to side. Finally, Jarvis attached the endlinks to the lower control arms using the supplied 1/2-inch bolts, and torqued them to 70 lb-ft.With the suspension installation complete, Project Olds got a big-time rolling stock upgrade with a set of 18-inch Booster wheels from Rocket Racing. They're wrapped in Nitto NT01 DOT-legal R-compound meats that measure 245/40 up front and 275/40 out back. Accurately scaling a car requires a perfectly flat surface, and Jarvis' lift was carefully installed to ensure that it's level. As long as this lift locks into position after raising or lowering a car, the scales read the same every time.To assist in accurate corner weighting, Jarvis uses digital scales from Longacre Automotive Products. After lifting the car off the rack at the suspension points using air jacks, the scales were centered under each tire and zeroed.Before taking the initial reading, Jarvis lowered the car down onto the scales, and jounced the suspension several times to help it settle in. Each scale is connected to a central control unit that displays the weight of each corner of the car.Much to our surprise, the heavy A-Body wasn't so heavy after all, tipping the scales at just 3,408 pounds. That's 500 pounds lighter than a new Camaro! The readings were as follows. Left-front: 1,023. Right-front: 970. Left-rear: 712. Right-rear: 703.Adding 240 pounds of driver weight (McGaffin's a pretty big guy) really threw off the weight balance in the wrong direction. This changed the left-front, right-front, left-rear, and right-rear corner weights to 1,139-, 985-, 782-, and 742 pounds, respectively. Simply relocating the battery from the left-front to right-rear of the car changed those figures rather dramatically to 1,084-, 977-, 803-, and 784 pounds, respectively.After some trial and error, Jarvis ended up putting two additional rounds (one complete revolution of the shock adjustment collar) of tension in the right-front and left-rear. This effectively removed weight from the left-front and right-rear of the car. The final corner weights were as follows. Left-front: 1,069. Right-front: 991. Left-rear: 815. Right-rear: 773. As this example illustrates, adding tension to one corner of a car (right-front) and its diagonal opposite (left-rear) increases the weight over those corners, while reducing weight over the other ends of the car (left-front, right-rear). Overall, these collective changes shifted front/rear weight distribution percentages from 58/42 to 56/44, and left-to-right bias from 53/47 to 52/48.To check the sway bars for potential binding, Jarvis disconnected and reconnected the endlinks to make sure they slid back on without any tension. Although it wasn't necessary on Project Olds, Jarvis says that there are occasions where the endlinks must be lengthened to remove preload off of the sway bar. Failure to do so will result in a sway bar that adds tension to the springs, and alters weight bias ever so slightly.

Solid Gold: Dan Mirsky Opens New 5.14c
Last Friday, Dan Mirsky's vision of climbing a new line through the sprag-pockets and tufa-pinch cruxes of Utah's steep Cathedral cave culminated in a send of Solid Gold (5.14c), which is the crag's latest top-tier sport route.
Mirsky's new rig crosses a difficult boulder problem before linking into Joe Kinder's Golden Direct (5.14c/d). The line then finishes on the crag's flagship route Golden (5.14b).
"Initially my goal was simply to send Golden," Mirsky told Rock and Ice. "But when we showed up I immediately noticed that Joe Kinder had added a bolt, which would allow for what became Solid Gold without my doing anything else besides tying in and trying."
Mirsky began trying the line last fall but was eventually shut down by the onslaught of wet weather. However, after stationing his newly purchase Airstream trailer in the Utah desert, he patiently waited for better conditions. Around mid-February, conditions improved and Mirsky decided he was "all in for Solid Gold."
By March, Mirsky was making good links on the route nearly every go, but a wet undercling on the existing Golden remained an issue. "I started resorting to coating the inside of the undercling in aluminum foil (an old trick someone showed me in Rifle)," says Mirsky. "It kinda worked…"
Finally, by the beginning of April, the crux undercling dried and Mirsky says he "took the ol' foil off, and then it was on." After climbing half a move higher on each attempt for a little less than a week, Mirsky finally had what he describes as a "nearly flawless" attempt, which saw him climbing to the chains of Solid Gold (5.14c). "I climbed out of the cave and stood in the sun and then jumped," says Mirsky of his victory whip.
Mirsky explains that he is "hard pressed to call this a true first ascent," due to the new route's combination of already existing sport climbs, but he says that he always envisioned what is now Solid Gold while climbing in Cathedral.
"In the past, sitting in the cave looking up at Golden, I had noticed that the route could go in this way and it seemed to me the most direct, obvious line," says Mirsky. "I'm happy that the full Golden is now a reality."

Visiting Your Favorite Mexican Restaurant Can Improve Your Love Life
Our Mint Limeade is what happens when you combine fresh-squeezed limes and hand-pressed mint into a sugar-laden vessel of happiness. It's the perfect refreshing Mexican restaurant summer drink that will send your senses soaring, and make you hope the season never ends.
But did you know that mint (scientifically known as Mentha--impress your friends!) has remarkable medicinal properties, too?
For instance: our burritos are delicious, but sometimes that is a whole lot of food. Pairing your barbacoa pork burrito with a Mint Limeade can help make you hungrier, plus help you digest all that deliciousness. It also soothes the stomach, which is great if you're on a date and feeling just a little bit nervous about the attractive person sitting across from you at one of our cafes.
And if the nervous butterflies start to flap out of control, the refreshing smell and flavor of mint can be a quick and sure-fire remedy. Smile widely and take a deep sip of your Mint Limeade, and they'll never know. It'll also help soothe your throat, so you don't start nervously squeaking when you try to answer a question about your favorite movie.
Most important of all, though? Mint is a breath freshener. Technically, since it's a germicidal, it takes care of oral health by inhibiting harmful bacterial growth in your mouth, and cleaning your tongue and teeth. But don't bring that up to your date, because that's not very charming dinner conversation. Just sip your minty lemonade and know that when you lean in close to your chica or chico, you'll be confident that your breath is fresh and sweet.

Good afternoon. My name is Ron McNamara and I am serving as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Today's briefing is being held in advance of a series of meetings that will take place next week in Rome, hosted by the Italian parliament, in conjunction with the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. On October 11, a day-long "Forum on the Mediterranean" will take place. Sessions will be held on: "Strengthening Security in the Mediterranean" and "Developing the OSCE Mediterranean Dimension." "Democracy and Human Rights"--the topic of today's briefing--is part of the agenda.
By way of background, there has been a Mediterranean dimension of the Helsinki process from the outset. Throughout the negotiations that preceded and produced the Helsinki Final Act, issues relating to the Mediterranean were discussed. The result was a section of the Final Act entitled " Questions relating to Security and Cooperation in the Mediterranean." Under the rubric of "non-participating Mediterranean countries" Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia contributed to relevant discussions in the security dimension. These discussions were held in recognition of the relationship between security in Europe and in the Mediterranean region.
The Mediterranean dimension of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe was reconstituted in the mid-1990s under the designation "Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation." Countries included were Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Morocco and Tunisia. Jordan subsequently joined as a Partner. Over the years the OSCE has convened a score of seminars, conferences and fora focused on the Mediterranean. In fact, the OSCE and the Government of Jordan will host a seminar later this month on "The comprehensive approach to security: The OSCE experience and its relevance for the Mediterranean region." Additionally, a contact group was established in the mid-1990s to provide the opportunity for participating States and the six Mediterranean Partners to maintain dialogue on pertinent Mediterranean issues. Periodic meetings of the group are typically held at ambassadorial level.
Turning to the subject of today's briefing, let me make absolutely clear that none of the Mediterranean Partners for Cooperation have committed themselves to any of the OSCE commitments. I would also note that while the Helsinki Commission has followed the evolution of the Mediterranean dimension of the OSCE, we do not have analysts monitoring the human rights situation in these states. Thus the convening of today's briefing.
I would note that the Partner countries are party to a wide range of international conventions on human rights. In checking one widely used indicator of freedom, I found that only one of the countries has consistently been deemed to be free, another has emerged as free and the remainder, with one exception, have progressed from not free to partially free.
Introducing the panelists for today's briefing in the order of their presentations,
Frank Smyth is Washington Representative for the Committee to Protect Journalists
Karen Hanrahan is the Director of Advocacy for Middle East and North Africa, Amnesty International USA
Joe Stork is the Washington Director for the Middle East and North Africa division of Human Rights Watch

Metallica's self-titled 1991 album has become the best-selling release in U.S. chart history after surpassing the 16 million sales mark.
The disc, widely referred to as "The Black Album" due to its plain cover art, continues to be a popular choice with fans.
It shifted an estimated 3,000 copies last week to take its grand total to 16,002,000 units sold in the 23 years since first it hit retailers.
The "Metallica" album, released in the same year experts at Nielsen SoundScan began tracking music sales, is just one of two projects which have racked up over 15 million sales in the chart's history – Shania Twain's "Come On Over" boasts 15.57 million units.

Late Harvest on the Other Side of the WorldToday we taste coffees from the Colbran family's estate, Baroida, and from the Tairora Project that represents smaller-scale coffee farms around the estate in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Notes on the CoffeesBaroida and Tairora aren't new to any of you, many of whom have come to not only love but really appreciate this coffee's tangy, spicy and savory qualities during the months when we are waiting for coffees from the northern hemisphere to arrive. We split our shipment from the Colbrans this year, which is why we are able to draw a distinction between "early harvest" and "late harvest". Splitting lots is something we've begun doing with some frequency — our current lot of Nueva Llusta is another example we have identified — but we have been doing it with coffees like Concepción Huista for years because we a) benefit from having fresh offerings for our customers earlier than our competitors and b) are big enough to have control over shipments, which is something more difficult for very small companies that depend on importers' timelines.
I mentioned above that we do a lot of cupping of this coffee for the sake of consistency. While it sometimes feels like a struggle to go through each days' lot and isolate the ones that taste prematurely faded, it's a blessing in the context of where most farms and their buyers are, namely, blending coffee from the different days and crossing their fingers that it's got more good than bad on balance. We buy some other coffees that are still at that stage (I'm not naming names) and the struggle is worth it for the flavors of the good lots. Speaking of flavor, I don't expect anyone to be surprised by these coffees in comparison to their early harvest versions, because I think they're pretty true to type. If you disagree, though, I hope, as always, to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Conservation important to Florida's water supply
Florida is surrounded on three sides by water, and has thousands of lakes, and many streams and rivers. With all of this water, many people may not realize there is a need to conserve. Although it may appear that Florida has plentiful water, not all of that water is fresh and readily available for drinking or other uses. In addition, Florida's weather is fickle — long periods of wet weather may be followed by long periods of dry weather.
Water conservation is receiving increased attention, whether brought on by a growing population, climate change or through general water supply discussions. While others are just now bringing water conservation to the forefront, the St. Johns River Water Management District has been committed to water conservation for many years.
At the core of the district's mission is protecting and ensuring the sustainability of Florida's water resources, both belowground in the Floridan aquifer system and aboveground in our rivers, lakes and streams.
New strategies and technologies are needed to meet future water supply needs. Water conservation is the cornerstone of Florida's water sustainability. The district believes that conservation is a critical strategy in meeting the current and future water supply needs of our state.
The district currently has active and ongoing water conservation programs. As part of its consumptive use permitting process, the district requires all permit holders to use water as efficiently as possible. Water supply utilities are required to implement conservation rate structures, perform water audits to ensure system efficiency and develop programs for the use of reclaimed water.
Industry, agriculture and recreational users, such as golf courses, must use reclaimed water or storm water for irrigation where feasible and implement additional rigorous water conservation measures. Agricultural water users must demonstrate water conservation techniques by upgrading to more efficient irrigation systems and implementing best management practices. Golf courses are required to reduce the amount of acreage irrigated, install irrigation systems that reduce the volume of water used, and install soil moisture and rain sensors.
The greatest water savings can be realized outdoors. More than half of residential water is used on lawns and landscapes. The district's consumptive use permitting program regulates lawn and landscape irrigation for homes and businesses regardless of whether water is supplied by a water utility or a private well. Year-round watering restrictions are in place to ensure that water used for irrigation is used efficiently.
In addition, the district's educational programs that promote water conservation include the Florida Water StarSM program that focuses on water efficiency in residential and commercial developments, and programs for youth, including The Great Water OdysseySM, a multidisciplinary computer curricula that introduces students to the world of water through science, history, geography, social studies, reading and math.
The district has enhanced its water conservation efforts through the Water Conservation and Demand Management Program that seeks more aggressive water conservation measures than have previously been implemented.

Ocean salmon season to open Saturday, April 6
The opening of the ocean salmon fishery is something party boats owners and operators up and down the coast look forward to. There's just not much ocean fishing during the winter months, and the big boats sit mostly idle.
The opening of the ocean salmon fishery also is anticipated for the recreational angler, whether they book a ride on a party boat or launch their own boat and head to the Pacific Ocean.
Following the near collapse of the salmon fishery and subsequent no fishing order two years ago, the fish and fishery rebounded with a vengeance. Last year's ocean salmon fishery was nothing short of phenomenal.
Many anglers were hauling boats to ports like Bodega Bay, where long lines to launch awaited them at Westside Park and Bodega Dunes. On many days, it took longer to launch than it did to get into a red-hot salmon bite and limits for everybody. It was the same story up and down the coast. Private skiffs and party boats were limiting in nothing flat.
Will it be the same this year? Time will tell.
The season opens Saturday, April 6, from Horse Mountain in Humboldt County south to the Mexico border. The more popular ports in Northern California are Monterey and Santa Cruz; the San Francisco Bay Area fleet with numerous ports such as Sausalito, San Francisco proper, Berkeley and Emeryville; Bodega Bay and Fort Bragg.
On the plus side to taking your own boat is you can stay out as long as you want to score a limit for everybody on board. The downside is the clean-up on the boat and the fishing gear after you pull it out of saltwater.
On the plus side to riding a party boat is a party boat is equipped with gear for salmon fishing, including a rod. The downside is you're in competition with several anglers, depending on the size of the boat. On the plus side again, once you're back in port, you don't have to do any clean-up.
So, there are plusses to both methods of offshore fishing. It's your call.
Right now, nobody really knows where the fish are. Party boat operators will wait until Saturday, and out to sea they go. And when they do, they won't be looking for salmon, specifically.
Salmon don't really show up on a scope, and you have to know exactly what you're seeing to know when a salmon makes a blip on the screen. Salmon follow and stay within easy eating range of their food source, mainly anchovy. They cruise around the school of anchovy, and when the munchies hit, munch they do.
Salmon don't expend much energy feeding. They'll grab whatever is available. That's why when you troll for salmon, the bait usually spins, making the anchovy appear wounded. To the salmon, that anchovy is an easy target. If you mooch for salmon, the live anchovy on your hook can't go far, so it, too, is an easy target for a hungry salmon.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is predicting a high number of Chinook salmon off the coast. Time will tell how fast the boats find the fish and how the fish bite.
Daily bag and possession limits remain the same: two salmon. Coho — silver salmon — are still a no-no. Get caught with a Coho and you'll get a citation.
You can easily tell a Chinook from a Coho. The Chinook's back will appear purple while a Coho will appear green. The inside of a Chinook's mouth will be black while a Coho's mouth will be mostly white.
The minimum size for salmon is 20 inches between Horse Mountain and Point Arena and 24 inches in all other regions.
If you fish north of Point Conception, which most in the north state will, no more than two single-point, single-shank barbless hooks may be used. Additionally, each angler is allowed no more than one rod. If you aren't trolling — for example, mooching — you're required to use barbless circle hooks.
An announcement as to when the salmon fishery will open from Horse Mountain north to the Oregon border, which includes ports such as Shelter Cove, is expected in May.
The season-ending dates also haven't been determined. Fish and Wildlife will follow the recommendations of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council, which will be decided this month.
Current fishing
The latest snowpack survey was pretty dismal with the water content at about 55 percent of normal. Most reservoirs are looking good and will for a while. Once the snow is gone, and with a good warm spell, there just won't be much water to run down the hills and replenish lakes and reservoirs in the north state. Rain this week and more predicted could add water to the lakes and reservoirs. Easter traditionally is a busy weekend for popular camping areas. The good news is that the wind didn't howl too badly, but a fair amount of rain fell, mostly at night, and those who watched the sky were rewarded with a wonderful light snow with lightning and deafening thunder.
Lake Camanche: The lake is holding at just more than 80 percent, so you can cover a lot of water looking for fish. Lake management is still making weekly trout plants through the Mt. Lassen Trout Hatchery, and so far in 2013, more than 16,000 pounds have been added to the lake and South Shore Pond. Trolling and soaking bait off a sliding sinker rig from the many points and coves in the North Shore region are working. You can launch at North Shore and troll outside the buoy line, head up the lake to the Narrows and catch 'bows, or head down and fish the river channel around Hat Island and the dam and do well. Trout are everywhere. From shore, various Power Baits work, and so will eggs and crawlers with a marshmallow to float the crawler off the bottom a little.
Pardee Lake: Some of the best action is off the bank. The launch ramp and Rainbow Point have been successful areas to park your folding chair, but if it gets too crowded, head for the area behind the boathouse and around Blue Herron Point. Chartreuse and rainbow Power Bait — eggs and worms — with garlic and glitter have been the ticket for getting bit. Trollers are heading out of the Rec Area Cove and directly up the river. Around Columbia Gulch, good brown trout are being nailed along with some 'bows and early kokanee. Drop your rig down 10-18 feet. Working best has been a crawler threaded onto a hook behind either small blades or a medium-size dodger.

|Eileen Rudder still a little ornery at 100
|Written by Darci Tomky
What is the secret to long life? "Being ornery," said Eileen Rudder with a chuckle.
They say laughter is the best medicine, and Rudder certainly comes with a unique sense of humor.
She will celebrate her 100th birthday Sunday, Dec. 6. and will become Holyoke's third centenarian this year.
Her family is hosting a celebration Sunday at SunSet View Community Center in Holyoke, from 2-4 p.m.
Eileen Dorothea was born Dec. 6, 1909 in Union, Neb., the youngest of Henry and Maria Eichel's 11 children. The couple had immigrated from Germany in the 1880s, married and had four daughters and seven sons, three of which died at birth.
The family traveled to Holyoke by immigrant car in 1911. Eichel bought a team and wagon, loaded up their belongings and headed to the sod house on the Pat Loughman place where they would make their home 15 miles southwest of Holyoke. Wages with its Post Office, store and church was just three miles away.
Within the next several years, Rudder and her family moved to a couple different farms. Either riding a horse or walking, she attended Lakeside School #87 and then North Star School District #34 in Yuma County where she completed her education through the eighth grade. Her older sister Pearl was a teacher Rudder's last year there for the 12 students in the North Star School.
Working on the farm was something Eileen was accustomed to, milking their 13 cows and helping out with the horses, pigs, chickens, corn and wheat. Rudder said they had a large garden and grew a lot of the food they ate.
While living on the farm as a child, Rudder said her dad was really protective when storms threatened the family, always making them go to the cellar. While they did have some bad storms, she said they never had any tornadoes get too close to their farm.
As a farm girl, Rudder loved riding horses. With an ornery smile spreading across her face, she recalled one Fourth of July in Wages. Along with several other women, Rudder raced her horse in a course across the countryside. Even though she didn't win, her horse still took her on one wild ride she won't soon forget.
Living so many miles away from Holyoke, Rudder remembers her parents made their way into town only twice a month.
"There weren't too many businesses in Holyoke back then," she said. First National Bank, the grain elevators, the grocery store and the Golden Rule store are some of the Holyoke landmarks that came to mind.
Saturday night, said Rudder, was the night all the farmers would go to town and visit with the people they knew. Besides the Saturday night dances in Holyoke, Rudder said they would go dancing in Wauneta and at barn dances on friends' farms.
As a teenager, Rudder had the opportunity to experience life in Holyoke when she lived with Mr. and Mrs. George Garland, working for her room and board while attending high school in Holyoke. Getting up early to do work, going to school and then preparing the supper meal became a daily routine for Rudder.
A new chapter in her life blossomed when Eileen met Earl Rudder. During corn harvest at the Eichel farm, the women cooked meals for the men that were helping with harvest, one of whom happened to be Earl. It was over these meals the two met and soon started dating.
The couple married Oct. 26, 1928 when Eileen was just 18 years old. They had two children, Earl and Gwen.
One of Rudder's many jobs over the years was waitressing. She waited tables for Mrs. Anna Burress in a small cafe just north of Holyoke's Zimmerman Hotel with a small dining area that could only hold 14 people at a time. The young wife made $1.50 a week, including Earl's breakfast and lunch.
Other jobs included a telephone operator and manager at Phillips County Telephone Co., a clerk at Holyoke Drug Store and Smythe's Department Store and an employee of the ASCS office in Holyoke. Earl worked as a State Highway Department employee.
While her husband died in 1982, Rudder has since been blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren who she loves spoiling and spending time with. Rudder also had a tea-cup apricot poodle named Copper Penny who was her pride and joy.
Some of Rudder's hobbies over the years included camping, traveling, crocheting and cooking.
Family and friends can attest that one thing Rudder still has after all these years is her sense of humor. "I like to give the ladies a bad time," she said. "They want to know something, and I'll tell them just about anything."
At almost 100 years old, it's good to know she still has a bit of orneriness left in her!

This job is now taken, thank you.
in our language course, we have a small town (village) called Merryville. I have drawn a map of the place by hand, but the result in not satisfying. I've looked into software but frankly the learning curve is too great for my humble purpose of 1 map. The map needs enough detail, so that the different places (Hospital, Post Office, Elementary School, Shops, Streets) are visible and labeled. Individual houses should be visible, too and not all identical, though no 3d image is necessary: 2d shapes should suffice The idea is to have a zoomable image over which different icons and labels can be placed. There's a river, a lake and a bit of countryside included.
The image will be used as posters, so it has to be pixelated to blow up to full poster size.
Thank you for quoting an approximate price or e-mail me to discuss it : greenstuder[AT]gmail.com
Here are some examples I found on this site. The map could also be an inclined view where one sees the buildings.
as far as copyright is concerned :
I will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, the artist will have the right to exhibit the image as part of his portfolio but not to exploit it for commercial gain.
Here's a link to my mockup map : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58721271/Merryville%20copy.png
Thank you for your consideration.

Remembering Sept. 11 at Kauffman Stadium
Kauffman Stadium is approximately 1,070 miles away from Washington, D.C. But, as we remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001, Tuesday and salute our local uniformed heroes, Washington and the Pentagon seem a little closer to home – especially from the view at the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat.
Jill Hyson calls Blue Springs, Mo., home now, but on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, she happened to be in the middle of a two-week assignment as an X-ray technician with the Air Force Reserves. And, she happened to be at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. When the plane hit, Jill was instructed to evacuate, but as she proceeded to follow those commands she spotted someone in need of help – a critically burned Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Brian Birdwell. Jill kicked into action, flagging down a vehicle and getting LTC Birdwell and herself to Georgetown University Hospital, where doctors worked to treat him and credited Jill's courage and quick thinking for saving LTC Birdwell's life. To this day, LTC Birdwell, a Missouri native living in Texas now, admits he would not be alive without Jill's assistance on that tragic day. For Jill, it was just a case of her doing her job.
"It's an honor to be recognized, of course," Jill said, prior to the Royals-Twins game on Tuesday. "But, I do not look at myself as a hero. It's my job to help others and I'm proud to be able to it."
On Tuesday, six years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Kansas City and the Royals continue to honor Jill's courage and dedication to helping others. Stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base, she is the 73rd person to sit in the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat this season and we are happy to welcome her and her family to The K!
Also, during Royals pre-game Tuesday, eight honorary first pitches were thrown – with Royals Alumni catching behind the plate – as part of "Salute to Uniformed Heroes" night. There was one pitch from each of the five branches of the military as well as three pitches representing emergency personal (fire, police and medical). Thanks to all our uniformed heroes both here and over seas for your continued service to our country!

Is China right about "virtual" ocean carrier cartels?
June 17, 2014
News that China's Ministry of Commerce has withheld its approval of the P3 Network – comprising the world's three largest ocean cargo carriers – may give shippers a reason to consider the viability of such an arrangement to begin with. Can the Chinese be right about fearing a rate-fixing monopoly?
Denmark's AP Møller-Maersk, France's CMA CGM SA and Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Co. had good reason to believe that the alliance was a "done deal" as recently as last week. With the United States Federal Maritime Commission signing off on P3 to become effective in the U.S., and the subsequent European Commission blessings, the only remaining obstacle was China.
And as our Jeff Berman recently reported, the carriers were confident that approval was only a formality.
But China's Ministry of Commerce – citing anti-trust concerns – noted that P3 would control 47% of the Asia-to-Europe container shipping market, and failed to demonstrate that it would bring more benefit than harm to shippers' interest.
Meanwhile, the G6 collaboration may soon be rethinking their plans for the future. American President Lines, Hapag Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Mitsui, Nippon, and OOCL had only agreed to join forces as a competitive alternative to P3.
With that deal quashed, mightn't we expect more disruption in containerized shipping? In any case, the irony is that a command economy like China can reshape free market forces by creating disincentives for potential corporate collusion.

I have filters made already. When getting mails from senders that I want to include in an existing filter I right-click the mail-address and select "Add to filter". I select the filter on the list and the filter window opens. The mail-address is automatic added as a condition and I click OK to save the edited filter. I then get a warning that a filter with that name already exists and I'm not able to save the edited filter.
This got to be a bug, because I can manually to to the filters list and add an address, hit save and that's it! But the adding address to existing filter doesn't work for me. Any workaround or bugfix?

Automatic federal budget cuts could shut down control towers at as many as seven Mississippi airports.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood warned Friday of the closing of 100 airport towers at airports that have 150,000 flights or fewer each year if automatic federal spending cuts take effect March 1.
The Federal Aviation Administration says that among the airports that could be affected are Greenville's Mid-Delta Regional Airport, Columbus' Golden Triangle Regional Airport, Jackson's Hawkins Field, Bay St. Louis' Stennis International Airport, Meridian's Key Field, Olive Branch Airport and Tupelo Regional Airport. They're on a list of 200 airports from which the FAA expects to select 100 towers to be closed by April 1.
The FAA says it will cut $600 million from the rest of the 2013 budget year.

Arthur Omienge's Group
A new chlorine dispenser program offers a solution to the burden of sickness caused by drinking unsafe water. The dispenser is installed at the local water source where users turn a valve to add chlorine to their jerricans and then collect water as usual. The chlorine disinfects the water and provides residual protection from re-contamination. In Got Kabindi, 70 households will benefit from having access to safe water through the dispenser. Arthur has volunteered to be the dispenser promoter and will be responsible for refilling the dispenser with chlorine and encouraging the whole community to treat their water in order to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy. There are four other volunteer promoters from the surrounding communities who are part of this group loan: Margaret, Florence, Roseline and Michael.
Got Kabindi village needs a loan to cover the costs of installing and maintaining chlorine dispensers in the area. Arthur believes that regular chlorine dispenser use will prevent water-borne diseases and keep his community healthy. Evidence Action (www.evidenceaction.org) will repay the Kiva loan on behalf of the community through the sale of carbon credits. Using the chlorine dispenser generates carbon credits by avoiding the need to boil water to make it safe to drink. Revenues from the sale of carbon credits to organizations and individuals wanting to reduce world carbon footprint will be used to repay Kiva lenders and to make sure that Arthur's community can have access to safe water now and in the future.
Additional Information
About Evidence ActionThis loan is part of Evidence Action's Dispensers for Safe Water program, providing rural communities with access to safe drinking water by installing chlorine dispensers where people collect water. The dispensers enable community members to treat their water with chlorine to make it safe to drink.
Kiva loans are used to finance the installation, maintenance and refilling of chlorine dispensers. Evidence Action provides dispensers as in-kind loans to communities, represented on Kiva by dispenser "promoters," who will help educate their neighbors about the equipment's use and benefits, and refill the dispenser with chlorine.
Instead of these loans being repaid by community members, Kiva lenders are reimbursed by the sale of carbon credits. These carbon credits are generated when households use chlorine dispensers to treat their water, because they no longer have to boil it over wood-burning fires that release harmful greenhouse gases. This change in behavior is monetized through the sale of carbon credits on the voluntary carbon market.
Here's how it works:
1) Kiva borrowers grant the rights to carbon credits they generate to Evidence Action.
2) Evidence Action works with an organization called Impact Carbon to monitor, quantify and verify carbon credits, which can then be sold to individuals and organizations looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
3) Revenue earned from this sale is used to maintain dispensers and repay Kiva lenders.
This is the first time Kiva is financing loans that are repaid with carbon credit revenues. By supporting this loan, you're joining an exciting experiment in using credit to fund carbon-reducing water projects. This also means that these loans may carry a significantly higher level of risk than typical Kiva loans.
To learn more about this model, read our blog post "A new way of thinking: Carbon as currency."
This Kiva loan will be used to provide borrowers with needed goods or services, as opposed to cash or financial credit.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Before we start
If anyone reading this is playing Season 5 at Good Games Lanyon, please read no further! This post may contain SPOILERS!
I don't have much idea what you guys here charge. I am thinking an evening's work, maybe two. It's noncommercial, a map for a game. I have a PayPal account, so no worries there.
I'm looking at running a waterworld campaign in which the islands are controlled by the elves. The elves have an oriental theme, so the world of Rokugan (legends of the five rings) seems perfect. Using that world, I could leverage all the campaign politics as backstory.
So I would like a map of Rokugan, but redone as islands - and preferably fairly sparse islands. The major cities would become biggish islands, and important roads would become island chains. But there's a lot there, and really I don't need it all. Rokugan has almost a grid of roads over it - we can dispense with most of them and we don't need to relocate every damn city to its own island. The main thing is that areas controlled by the various clans in Rokugan should map more or less correspondingly to the waterworld. It doesn't have to be exact or even close, just so long as we can, for instance, use the fact that Crane clan territory is next to Lion clan territory and there have been wars in the past.
I suppose I will really need to give you a copy of the map that I have (ripped out of a PDF), marked up with what locations I think should be included. Al the other little towns and whatnot optional.
Other points to note:
- The world is hot, hot, hot (our last campaign was an ice world, so ). Civilisation is up around the pole, which should be perhaps not on the map but (say) half a page-width away from one of the edges. Although I'm after a naval chart, if you want to decorate then the islands should be tropical.
- I think that having the pole off to the "west" of Rokugan (as it is usually oriented) might work.
- I'm thinking of putting a massive whirlpool at the pole (which will have significance in the campaign. Yes: the characters are going to have to surf it ). The prevailing surface currents spiral inwards in that direction overall.
- The equator is an immense, permanent maelstrom. A hurricane. The globe is not navigable below (say) 45 degrees latitude. But this will probably not appear on the map.
- The currents become stronger as you get close to the whirlpool at the pole, the winds become stronger as you approach the equator. This creates natural boundaries.
- The "shadowlands" of Rokugan become "the Seas of the Fey". In this world, the Crab Clan are not at war with the Oni of the shadowlands, but with the unseelie fey.
- The barbarians of the north become Sahuagin, which provides another boundary for the map.
- The Shinomen Forest could be reinterpreted as a sargasso sea - no worries there.
- I am not sure how to reinterpret the mountain range that runs through the middle of Rokugan. Perhaps a chasm in the sea floor without islands, and make it wider than the Rokugan mountains to simulate the extra time it takes to cross it. Or a very strong current leading to the pole, one that is dangerous to cross.
- In general, we can do the land mass of Rokugan as a relatively shallow shelf, with a boundary where the ocean becomes deep. So rather than being bordered by mountains, it's bordered by the dropoff of the ocean shelf.
- The non-elf races (and the player characters) are seagoing, with a italian/spanish/english theme. Pirates of the carribean. While elvish houses control the largest islands with arable lands, some smaller islands and sand atolls can be "freeports", "Il Porto del Paradisio" or whatever. Particularly on clan borders.
The map is primarily a naval chart. The islands can be outlines with perhaps ports marked. Grayscale is fine. I would like to see prevailing winds and currents marked. I want to be able to say to the players "The navigator thinks it will take 8 days, winds permitting, to get to X".
I was intending to divide the map into hexes, each hex 24 leagues (the distance a sailing ship can travel in a day). A league is 3nm, but at that scale the hexes are a bit big - you could get from one end of the empire to the other in about two weeks (winds permitting). I am thinking that the empire should be a bit bigger than that - maybe a month from end to end. But I can overlay hexes onto it myself, I suppose.
Semiprofessional is more than enough. I prefer cheap to beautiful, frankly. I don't need a lot of detail, just "these hexes are scorpion clan, this island is Kyuden Bayushi (the clan's main castle/island), and to get there from here you can hitch a ride on this sea current", (which means you can shave 3 days off the time, but you'll have to go through a region not controlled by any clan, so we are talking pirates and/or sea monsters)."
I would prefer a GIMP .xcf file with layers so that I can mark it up and conceal detail from my players.
Time Constraints
I'm supposed to be starting this campaign in about six weeks.
I shall have a a nonexclusive right to use the map for noncommercial purposes, including modifying and annotating the map, and reproducing the map, or portions thereof, with or without my annotations and modifications on my blog (paulmurray.wordpress.com), my website (paulmurray.id.au), and distributing printed handouts to my players. A Creative Commons license is fine, so long as I have the right to create and distribute derived works - I may need to plonk things here and there depending on which way the campaign goes.
pmurray at bigpond dot com. I have a facebook page etc, but I'd prefer to conceal this from my players for the moment.

Got about 4" in town here the last couple days. The hills got around 6-8". Heard on the radio that after the last 2 weeks, that the mountains in wyoming are averaging around 92% of normal snowpack. Thats some good news. Now if we could get some more moisture in the lower elevations.
not to whine about it or anything cuz i'm not, but this weather is really putting a damper on my plans for shed hunting and fishing
I just put 1000 miles behind the windshield in the last day and a half from northwest Wyoming to Northwest Colorado and back. The I-80 corridor and south of there got some decent accumulation. Colorado was really getting quite a bit of wet, heavy snow while I was visiting.
Any updates on the Casper area?
We have gotten Alot of snow the past couple weeks but now its all melted and gone, need some rain now but its not looking too bad so far
Awesome! So when will the quotas and seasons be set?
How has it been in the Wind River range, Pinedale and Big Sandy?????

WASHINGTON (AP) - A deadline looming, President Barack Obama will meet with congressional leaders at the White House today in search of a compromise to avoid a year-end "fiscal cliff" of across-the-board tax increases and deep spending cuts.
The development capped a day of growing urgency in which Obama returned early from a Hawaiian vacation while lawmakers snarled across a partisan divide over responsibility for gridlock on key pocketbook issues. Speaker John Boehner called the House back into session for a highly unusual Sunday evening session.
Adding to the woes confronting the middle class was a pending spike of $2 per gallon or more in milk prices if lawmakers failed to pass farm legislation by year's end.

President Barack Obama walks past a Marine honor guard Thursday as he returns to the White House early from his Hawaii vacation.
Four days before the deadline, the White House disputed reports that Obama was sending lawmakers a scaled-down plan to avoid the fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts.
Administration officials confirmed the meeting for today at the White House in a bare-bones announcement that said the president would "host a meeting."
An aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Kentucky lawmaker "is eager to hear from the president."
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner issued a statement that said the Ohio Republican would attend and "continue to stress that the House has already passed legislation to avert the entire fiscal cliff and now the Senate must act."
While there was no guarantee of a compromise, Republicans and Democrats said privately elements of any agreement would likely include an extension of middle class tax cuts with increased rates at upper incomes as well as cancellation of the scheduled spending cuts. An extension of expiring unemployment benefits, a reprieve for doctors who face a cut in Medicare payments and possibly a short-term measure to prevent dairy prices from soaring could also become part of a year-end bill, they said.
That would postpone politically damaging disputes on spending cuts for 2013.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused Boehner of running a dictatorship, citing his refusal to call a vote on legislation to keep taxes steady for most while letting them rise at upper incomes. The bill "would pass overwhelmingly," Reid predicted, and said the Ohio Republican won't change his mind because he fears it might cost him re-election as speaker when the new Congress convenes next week.
A few hours later, McConnell expressed frustration and blamed the standoff on Obama and the Democrats. "Republicans have bent over backwards. We stepped way, way out of our comfort zone," he said, referring to GOP offers to accept higher tax rates on some taxpayers.
"Republicans aren't about to write a blank check for anything the Democrats put forward just because we find ourselves at the edge of the cliff," he said.
