Rated 4 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Momma to Two Boys Nice rug! This is a great rug for the price. The wool is soft and thick, but not too thick. Well worth the price! I love the colors - neutral and yet, vibrant! April 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by mommabird Much more than I expected It was just what I was looking for to put on bare hardwood floors in two long hallways.They are great looking and I'm impressed with the quality. December 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen Very Attractive Rugs I bought two for my long hallway. They look great! The quality is awesome and at a great price. They really look and feel like they were a fortune. Highly recommend these runners. [...]has rug pads that fit the runner perfectly as well. October 19, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by Adam Buy this product! You'll love it. I'm a bargain hunter, and I originally thought this runner was overpriced. However, I had a change of heart after I couldn't find anything of similar quality for less. It looks great in my entryway and compliments the earth tones in my apartment beautifully. My only criticism is that it accumulates a lot of lint around the edges after constant traction. Even still, I say it's well worth the extra vacuuming. November 16, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by CheriBee Great rug for the price This is a terrific neutral color rug that goes well with a wide range of colors and decorating styles. I am very pleased with how it looks in my narrow hallway. I have not seen any problems with the backing (as stated in other review). The color is a bit different from that pictured, but I was able to find the rug at my local store, so bringing it home for a test drive was good. I kept it, so obviously, I was pleased. October 26, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by JMill White Powder Emanating from Rug I absolutely LOVED the look of this rug. The colors are gorgeous and the runner fits perfectly in my home. Sadly, it's got to go. I have to vacumn the bottom of this rug daily because some sort of white powder/residue is coming from the backing (more and more all the time). After doing a bit of research, I believe it's from glue used to attach the wool to the rug. I've tried vacumning and beating the powder from the rug but nothing works and it's starting to ruin my wood floor. Beware! February 28, 2011

On their new album Transatlantic RPM, Incognito remakes a heavily-sampled classic, "Lowdown," originally by Boz Scaggs. The remake is infused with the vocal soul power of Chaka Khan and Mario Biondi while preserving the hip-hop rhythms that sprouted from the original.
Boz Scaggs - original version of "Lowdown" (1976)
Whether you're a hip-hop fan, producer, or just an educated listener, you'll probably hear something familiar in this. The various layers of rhythm in the Boz Scaggs track have been sampled enough in old school hip-hop to qualify "Lowdown" as a break beat classic. Scaggs' drums are easy enough to spot, but that flipped bassline produces a bit of a challenge in discovering samples.
Leave a comment with more sample knowledge and we'll be your best friend.

Lynne Rosetto Kasper was in Salt Lake this weekend, promoting KUER and her new book, The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends. On Saturday, local food writers Ted Scheffler (City Weekly), Vanessa Chang (Edible Wasatch, etc.) and myself were on a panel with the host of the long-running NPR food show at a lunch held at Memory Grove.
The menu (prepared by Culinary Crafts catering, was straight from the book: Yucatan pork, cooked in banana leaves (cochineal pibil), black beans, rice, tomatillo salsa, jicama and mango sticks with chile and lime, and a version of the cookies known as Mexican wedding cakes, with watermelon water.
Sadly, no beer or tequila.
The panel discussion, moderated by KUER reporter Andrea Smardon, turned immediately to food politics and stayed there. These days, that's what happens when you get a bunch of foodies together–some of the talk might include where you ate last (for me, Finca), food trends (how does local jibe with global on the plate) and the latest food gossip (Johnny Kwon of Naked Fish and Viet Pham are planning to open a restaurant together), but the subject that loosens the tongues is food politics: the Farm Bill, sustainable farming and whether it's feasible, the growing "nutrition gap" between rich and poor in this country, school lunches and the regulations regarding our food.
Actually, we also talked about funeral potatoes. (See Salt Lake magazine's July/August issue, on newsstands in a few weeks.)
It was a spirited discussion and could have gone on for much longer than the hour and a half allotted to it, and besides provoking thought about all these food issues, it made me reflect on how lucky Utah diners are to have such lively and intelligent people curating their food scene. (Here's to Ted and Vanessa.)

Fire destroys mobile home; two injured
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:19 p.m.
THOMASVILLE | A singlewide mobile home was deemed by fire investigators to be a total loss and two of its occupants were being treated for burns Wednesday night after a fire in the Pilot community.
Mike Pugh, assistant chief with the Pilot Volunteer Fire Department, said firefighters were dispatched to the mobile home fire at 160 Wintbrook Road at 8:30 p.m.
Two people were at home and both were transported to a hospital for treatment, Pugh said. He said their conditions were unknown about 10 p.m. and Pugh was not sure of the relationship between the two people. Their identities were also unknown late Wednesday night.
Pugh confirmed both received burns. He said it appears the two people lost everything in the home.
The first firefighters on the scene, the assistant chief said, reported a fully involved fire upon arrival. Firefighters at about 10 p.m. were still doing fire suppression, he said.
The Davidson County Fire Marshal's Office was on the scene investigating the fire.
Davidson County Deputy Fire Marshal Danny Ward said the home is a total loss. He said he hadn't talked to any of the occupants of the home to determine how they were injured.
"We are beginning our investigation," Ward said about 10 p.m.
Ward was on the scene conducting interviews.
The Pilot Grove Fire Department was assisted by the Holly Grove and Triangle volunteer fire departments.

Miami Dolphins sign quarterback Tom Brandstater to futures contract
Just because the Miami Dolphins are in the midst of regime uncertainty — or at least coaching uncertainty — doesn't mean GM Jeff Ireland and Co. aren't open for regular league business.
That's why second-year quarterback Tom Brandstater has been signed to a reserve/futures contract, according to a source. Brandstater, a sixth-round pick of the Broncos in 2009, was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad on Nov. 15 and spent the final seven weeks of the season with the team.
Brandstater, who also had a stopover on the Colts practice squad this season, is 6-foot 5 and 223 pounds with a strong, accurate arm. A former Fresno State teammate of Dolphins wide receiver Marlon Moore, Brandstater is 26 and still has plentyof upside.
Signing Brandstater makes sense for a Dolphins team that otherwise had one healthy quarterback (Chad Henne) under contract. Veteran Chad Pennington is rehabbing from his fourth major surgery on his throwing shoulder, while Tyler Thigpen, who passed for 169 yards and a touchdown in relief against the Patriots on Sunday, will be a restricted free agent (at minimum) this offseason.
Brandstater and Thigpen split reps on the scout team in an interesting manner down the stretch. Whichever QB threw an interception would then have to sit out that series of reps until the other QB threw one.
"It was my idea," Brandstater said. "I was messing with him the first time he threw a pick. He's the first one to joke in the huddle as soon as I throw a pick. One day I think he got eight reps to my two reps. I was a little bummed out about that. It's just for him and me to be sharp and to do the best we can to keep our skills where they need to be."
Brandstater, who was cut in June after Tim Tebow joined the Broncos as a first-round prodigy, also said he benefitted greatly from facing a top-six NFL defense every day in practice.
"The great thing about this organization is we practice at a high tempo," Brandstater said. "It's not a walk-through pace. Both sides are competing and trying to improve. In my case, I'm trying to improve the defense. Going against quality, really good players helps me hone my skills. If it's an errant throw, I know it's going to be picked off. It really forces us offensive players to be sharp and to put the ball in the right spot."
What a concept, huh?
It also doesn't hurt Brandstater that he is actually friends with Dolphins star receiver Brandon Marshall. The two were regular warmup partners in Denver in 2009, and after joining the Dolphins Brandstater made it a point to help Marshall get the extra pregame work he needs.
Several times in the final few weeks, Brandstater and Marshall could be seen huddling in the locker-room sitting area, notebooks in hand, going over that week's game plan. Their practice reps with each other, no doubt, were extremely limited, but there's already the sort of comfort level between those two that Marshall and Henne can only dream of developing at this point.
According to league sources, the Dolphins also signed offensive tackle James Marten to a futures contract. Marten, 6-foot-8 and 310 pounds, just finished his third season out of Boston College.
He was a third-round pick of the Cowboys in 2007, the last year Ireland and Tony Sparano were with Dallas.

This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
A psychological/legal thriller, a wry romance underscored by grief , and a heart-breaking young adult book.
Defending Jacob by William Landay
Usually police procedural/courtroom books don't grab me unless there's some fascinating theme beneath the familiar surface. In this case, it's not the theme but the multi-layered execution and richly explored material. Jacob is a recognizable teen: muffled, geeky, brooding. His dad, Andy, is a DA in a small, "safe" town. His mom, Laurie, has a background in psychology. It's a good marriage. But Andy has a secret, and when a classmate of Jacob's is murdered, everything crumbles. There are intriguing hints interleaved early that come to fruition later--a great technique for suspense. Fine characterizations, too, like the assistant DA with the amazing name of Logiudice, once a protege of Andy's and now his nemesis. "His mouth was overstuffed with teeth; he had to force it shut, like a full suitcase, which left him with a sour, pucker-mouthed expression." A breathtaking ending, and along the way, lots of explorations of parenthood. Great read on many levels.
An Available Man by Hilma Wolitzer
The downside of a wonderful marriage is that one spouse dies, the impact on the other can be devastating. This is the case for Ed, a 62-year-old science teacher. He shuffles through his days without pleasure. His grown stepchildren take out a personal ad in the TLS and his friends try to fix him up. The results are clumsy mismatch after mismatch, often very funny. Then Lauren, who left him at the altar many years ago, reappears, wanting to make amends. So it's like a chance to make things right again with some initially rapturous results. But of course there's a kink and when he finally ends up with the dark horse I was hoping for. I let out my breath with relief. Very charming and cozy, the way I often feel about Ann Tyler's books.
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
I found Green's previous books for teens haunting and thought provoking. So when this one came out with the subject of terminal cancer, I was all aquiver and it fulfilled its promise beautifully. 16 year old Hazel has loving parents and a pretty good attitude for someone on the brink. An experimental drug has prolonged her life so far. She meets Gus at a support group. He's very handsome, charming, and apparently now cancer-free but with a prosthetic leg. So a sweet, awkward, intense relationship emerges. Lots of philosophy and gallows humor seamlessly interwoven. Candid, unsentimental--a great read.
Back next week…

Alex McMahon rode a three-under 69 on Tuesday to a tie for third at the Golfweek Conference Challenge as the Arizona men's golf team took 10th with a total of 892 (+28).
The Wildcats shot 297 (+9) as a group in Tuesday's final round. Oklahoma won the 15-team tournament with a total of 857 (-7).
"We're disappointed with the result this week," Arizona head coach Jim Anderson said. "Any time you have two guys in the mix to win the tournament, your team should have a chance to do the same. It's early and we have time to try some different things, but we'll have to work hard to get ready for our next opportunity to compete next week."
McMahon shot his low round as a collegian on Tuesday to cement the first top-10 finish of his tenure at Arizona. He rolled in six birdies on the day on the way to a 69 (-3) that brought his tournament total to 211 (-5), a mark that also represented his best-career 54-hole score. The Oro Valley, Ariz., native finished one stroke off the pace for the individual medal.
"Alex did a great job all week of staying patient, but was at his best today," Anderson said. "This should confirm in his mind that he can play with anyone. He stuck to the game plan and made clutch birdies, and I couldn't be happier to see him play that way."
Senior Erik Oja narrowly missed out on his second top-10 in as many starts this season with a final-round 73 (+1) that moved him into a tie for 13th place. He finished the three-day event with a total of 216 (E).
Freshman Bertrand Mommaerts finished 65th with a total of 233 (+17), junior Brenden Redfern placed 71st with a total of 239 (+23) and senior Christian Colegrove finished 74th with a score of 243 (+27).UA will be idle until Sept. 27, when it takes the course for the opening day of the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate in Albuquerque. For more information on Arizona men's golf, follow @UAWildcatsGolf on Twitter.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Fluidigm and French genetic-testing services company IntegraGen formed a partnership that will allow IntegraGen to offer services using the Access Array™ sample-preparation system for next-generation sequencing and the Fluidigm BioMark™ System for genetic analysis. IntegraGen's laboratory will also act as a demonstration site for Fluidigm's technology.
The Access Array integrated fluidic circuit (IFC) has been developed to allow parallel amplification of 48 unique samples in a few hours. Every reaction combines both an amplicon-tagging and a barcoding step that enables all 48 amplicons to be multiplexed at the sequencing step, according to Fluidigm.
The BioMark product family has been designed to allow high-throughput research through IFCs known as dynamic arrays and digital arrays. The latter enable high-throughput digital PCR applications for investigations such as target quantitation, copy number variation, and mutation detection. The Dynamic arrays have been developed for applications including SNP genotyping and gene expression.
Commenting on the partnership, Emmanuel Martin, director of genomics services at IntegraGen, says that the Fluidigm technologies "complete the IntegraGen services portfolio and put our lab at the cutting edge of genotyping and next-generation sequencing capabilities."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ReVal Love it! Bought this for my living room to replace the fabric sofa my cats destroyed. :( Nicest looking daybed I found after extensive search for something that doesn't look like it belongs @Grandma's House or a cheap B&B! Good clean lines w/nice wood that can go with traditional or modern furniture. A great value for the $. Looked @the store & this is much sturdier than the Indonesian Daybed Frame IMHO. Very solid hardwood & nice looking finish! Absolutely easy to put together. It was missing 3 washers, so please count your hardware first even if it's tedious! No problem with any of the hardware holes lining up. It says it takes 2 people to assemble but I did it by myself on the living room floor. Had to rest it upside down on the floor to attach bottom platform to the arms/back but this was easiest way to make the seams flush & put the bottom screws in. Seemed a bit low to the ground until I got the mattress on it. Needs at least a 9" mattress to meet the average chair seat height of 17". Added some huge fluffy cushions & bolsters and it looks really very nice indeed! Looking forward to some Quality Nap Time in front of the television. February 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MJ Sturdy Great bed...very sturdy and very easy to put together compared to other pieces. Looks great. May 14, 2012

A Brand New Plan
I made some of the alternating blocks (as shown in my digital "sketch" in this post). Somehow those blocks were both too plain, and took away too much of the focus away from the vintage pinwheel blocks. I'm not sure how it was possible to do both at once, but leave it to me to come up with something that doesn't work in any respect. : )
(In retrospect, I think my mistake was that I got lazy and only scanned in one of my grandma's original blocks for my digital design plan. As a result, my "sketch" didn't accurately reflect the colorfulness of the real quilt.)
This is a special project, so I want it to be right. And the star of the show has to be the curved pinwheel blocks, especially the original five that my grandma hand-pieced all those years ago. So once I decided to scrap my original plan, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to better showcase those blocks. I also did some looking around online, and eventually came across this quilt from Red Pepper Quilts:
Pinwheel Baby Quilt by Red Pepper Quilts
Now, those whirlygigs really pop. So, with this quilt as my inspiration, I decided to frame out all my pinwheels in the same blue retro print I bought for the back of this quilt, and then sash it all in some sort of neutral, probably beige. (I love the putty color used on the Red Pepper quilt, but my mom and grandma aren't big fans of anything even close to gray.) Then I'm going to fill it out with a pieced border or two to make the whole thing queen-size, so that my grandma can use it on her bed if she wants.
Of course, the new design plan calls for more pinwheel blocks, so I spent my weekend making eight more colorful curved pinwheels. Now the big push is on to finish this top—I've set myself a deadline on this one, and I'm determined to meet it!

(found your blog through quilting bloggers BTW)
I wanted to say that I really like the idea of sashing the blocks à la Red Pepper--it will frame those wonderful pinwheels and really show them off. Did you consider framing your grandma's blocks in another fabric from the others so that they would be more easily identifiable? Just a thought. Maybe set them at the center of the layout with the other generation blocks circling around them. My penny's worth. ;-)
Also, you sound fun and friendly so I'm following you. (Well, not you, but your blog.lol) Hazle

that ninch - I love that idea! I hadn't thought of that, but it would be a perfect way to identify those blocks. I'm thinking I'll still use the beige sashing, but maybe frame the vintage blocks in a subtly different print from the others. That could be really cool, provided I find the right prints. Thanks for the suggestion and for following! : )

If you run into problems with your PC, a USB recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix those problems, even if your PC won't start.
Your PC might have come with a recovery image that's used to refresh or reset your PC. The recovery image is stored on a dedicated recovery partition on your PC, and is typically 3-6 GB in size. To save space on your PC, you can delete the recovery image from your PC and use a recovery drive instead. Windows 8.1 includes a built-in tool to create a USB recovery drive. Windows will let you know how big the recovery partition is, and you'll need a USB flash drive at least that big.
Creating a recovery drive will erase anything already stored on your USB flash drive. Use an empty USB flash drive or make sure to transfer any important data from your USB flash drive to another storage device before using it to create a USB recovery drive.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Search.)
Enter recovery drive in the search box, and then tap or click Create a recovery drive.
You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
After the recovery drive tool opens, make sure the Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive check box is selected, and then tap or click Next.
The checkbox is greyed out when your PC doesn't have a recovery partition. The recovery drive will include only the recovery tools and a bootable image, but not a recovery image to use for refreshing or resetting your PC.
Insert a USB flash drive into your PC that is at least as large as the size indicated on the screen.
Tap or click the USB drive you would like to use for your recovery drive, then tap or click Next.
Tap or click Create.
The recovery image and necessary recovery tools will be copied to your USB flash drive, which will take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the recovery image.
When the process is done, do one of the following:
If you want to keep the recovery partition on your PC, tap or click Finish.
If you want to remove the recovery partition from your PC and free up disk space, tap or click Delete the recovery partition. Then tap or click Delete. This will free up the disk space used to store your recovery image. When the removal is done, tap or click Finish.
Some PCs don't offer the option to remove a recovery partition. If you experience this, there isn't a recovery partition on your PC that's using additional disc space.
Remove the USB flash drive.
This is now your Windows 8.1
recovery drive, and you'll need it if you ever need to refresh or reset your PC. Keep it in a safe place and don't use it to store other files or data.
If your PC came with Windows 8 and you upgraded it to Windows 8.1, your recovery drive will include Windows 8, and you'll need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 after you refresh or reset your PC.

Having a "senior moment" when you're in the prime of your life can be a little unnerving. You can attribute occasional forgetfulness (where did I park my car?) to a life that's filled with too much to do. But forgetting the basics, such as why you drove to the store in the first place, especially if this happens a lot, could signal a problem, possibly mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Rare among people ages 40 to 60, MCI is a condition that falls in the middle of the spectrum between the normal cognitive changes that come with aging and full-blown dementia.
If you're concerned about too-frequent lapses, or if family and friends notice a progressive decline in memory, it's a good idea to check in with a doctor who specializes in memory issues, says neuroscientist Michael W. Weiner, MD, professor of medicine, radiology and psychiatry at the University of California in San Francisco. Not all people diagnosed with MCI progress to Alzheimer's disease, though they are at higher risk. "Many patients remain stable, and some actually improve," says Weiner, who serves as lead investigator of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI; adni-info.org), which is recruiting subjects 60 and older to test and follow for at least five years (no drugs are involved).

Distance: About 3 miles for both the Creek trail and the Suicide Rock trail into The Reservoir.
Time: If you're just taking your dog to splash with canine counterparts and heading back, about an hour, add an extra half hour to if you're planning to visit the highly-vandalized, but locally renowned Suicide Rock and The Reservoir, which are just past I-215.
Trail: Instead of an incredible workout, this one's more of a light-afternoon hike to enjoy with your dog or to meet some dogs and then catch frat pledges painting "Sigma Chi Rules!" on Parley's most famous rock.
It's not for the uppity, and it's a bit noisy due to the nearby freeway. And The Reservoir, unfortunately, is a bit trashed. But its clean on the west side of the freeway, and most dog owners clean up after their pets.
Its proximity to the city also makes it a good lunch-break hike, and you've got to see Suicide Rock.
As you walk from the trailhead into the canyon, you'll notice a splits in the trail. Stay left, and it will lead to a shared bike/hike trail, which has historical markers along the way, including Joseph Pudler's wine cellar, which dates back to 1870. Stay right, and you'll walk by the creek and over a cool wooden bridge. There are other options, but if you keep heading east, they'll all reach still water for dog play.
Once you reach the area where dogs congregate to splash, look left for the shared bike/hike trail, which will lead to a bridge crossing I-215. Go over the bridge, make a right and go down the hill, which will lead to the dirt trail leading to Suicide Rock.
Who you'll see: Bikes, families and dogs. Maybe some taggers at the right time of day.
The Story: Legend goes Suicide Rock was a watchtower for local Indians. After a young maiden's brave died, she jumped from the top of the rock to join him in the afterlife. Now, it's a billboard for youth with spray cans. Wildflowers sprout among the tags—which are not exclusive to the rock. And unfortunately, you'll also see a lot of beer cans and plastic bags near the rock. Don't add to the waste.
How to get there: Park at or across the street from Tanner Park, 2760 S. 2700 East. Walk up the hill for a minute, turn left and you'll be at the trailhead.

Reviews for Layered Peanut Butter Brownies
"Loved these brownies! They turned out perfect, just like the picture. I am not sure about the suggestion to double the brownie layer, I don't think they will fully bake this way without over-browning the top. We will definitely be making these again."
"I made this in 2000 when the recipe first appeared. 13 years later I made them again when I had to come up with a quick dish to pass. Why did I wait so long? These are rich and delicious!I didn't have milk chocolate chips, so I broke up three Hershey's milk chocolate bars. Yum!"
"DELISH :`) My 11 year old niece and I made these this afternoon. We had a blast & they turned out great (the kitchen may look like a bomb went off ~ but that's beside the point!) They were super easy. We followed the recipe to the letter, and while I wondered about the amount of brownie batter for the bottom layer (as a couple of other reviewers noted) it cooked up perfectly, just the way the directions read. We of course dug into them before they were cooled completely, but they really got good after sitting in the fridge a couple of hours, the peanut butter portion got very "cheese-cakie". Really a great recipe ~ Thank you for sharing!"
"My 14 year old son choose this recipe for part of his cooking class semester exam. I supervised, but he made them and did a fabulous job. They turned out perfect and look just like the photo. To address the swirling issue, he just swirled the chocolate, trying not to go into the peanutbutter. His father also thought the brownie layer should be thicker. I am concerned that if you double the brownie batter, it wouldn't get done? Has anyone doubled it? They are moist and delicious and we cut them small."
"Oh and the originator of this recipe must cut really small brownies, because there is no way this recipe makes 36. I cut 18 squares from it."

It is your birthright at this very moment while reading these words to have abundance of love, joy, health, wisdom, strength and eternal beauty. If you are missing any one of these cherished birthrights and you feel your ship is sinking then what are you thinking? Become the divine observer. Then use the wisdom of transformation and the concepts of the six-pointed star. Spirit into matter, matter into spirit – any one thing can become something else through this star.

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) International
- Date submitted: 31 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) International
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionContribution by PEFC to the Outcomes of the Rio+20 Conferences PEFC, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification and world?s largest forest certification, recalls the 2011 UNEP ?Forests in a Green Economy? report. ?Forests are a critical link in the transition to a green economy ? one that promotes sustainable development and poverty eradication as we move towards a low-carbon and more equitable future,? writes Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director. ?Biologically-rich forest ecosystems provide shelter, food, jobs, water, medicine and security to more than 1 billion people, as well as regulate our global climate.? Mr. Steiner emphasizes that ?[w]hile we have a suite of proven sustainable forestry practices and policies that work, they must now be scaled up and enforced to safeguard these natural assets.? PEFC supports these important messages. Over the past 20 years, forest certification has become one of the most important tools for global society to promote sustainable forest management. Yet despite major strides in certification, only nine percent of the world?s forests have been certified and ninety percent of these are in Europe and North America. Similarly, despite some progress in alleviating poverty around the world, population growth means that in real terms the number of people living below the poverty line remains high ? poverty is a major reason for deforestation and illegal logging. This situation is further complicated in rapidly emerging economies where land tenure rights have to date been ill-defined or may be weak and evolving. Forest certification system such as PEFC are an important mechanism that offer potential to contribute to improving livelihoods, particularly in developing countries, and to assist in lifting people out of poverty. Forest certification is also important in assisting us in moving towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, including that by that by 2020, forests are managed sustainably and forest loss is halved. This, however, requires us to mainstream forest certification throughout the world and especially in the Global South. To achieve this, all forest certification systems and stakeholders must seek to ensure that our efforts to expand forest certification are additive and not duplicative, contributing to an expansion of the overall total certified forest area. In a world where deforestation continues unabated in many nations, stakeholder must collaborate whenever possible. While PEFC ? the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification ? is the larger of the two global forest certification systems, we must utilize the different approaches offered for the best of society as a whole. We must agree on a common framework to guide forest certification and its stakeholders in their actions. The Rio Forest Certification Declaration (www.rfcd.org), supported by PEFC, the world?s largest forest certification system and by hundreds of people who have signed the Declaration online, represents such a common framework. PEFC calls for the Inclusion of the ?Rio Forest Certification Declaration? in the outcomes of the Rio+20 conference. The Rio Forest Certification Declaration Preamble The challenge of safeguarding the environmental, social and economic benefits that the world?s forests provide is critical for life on Earth. It requires a world in which people manage forests sustainably, a world that recognizes the integral and interdependent nature of our planet, a world that acknowledges and values the significance of rural communities, indigenous peoples, and families that depend on forests for their livelihoods. Principle 1: Human beings are at the centre of sustainable forest management Public and private policies designed to promote sustainable forest management can only succeed if they enhance the quality of life of people who live in and/or depend upon forests. Application: Forest certification systems and all stakeholders must act to protect and promote forestdependent populations, local communities, smallholder forest owners, workers, family foresters, women, youth and children, and indigenous peoples all of whom are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with the forests on which they depend. Principle 2: Recognize and respect national sovereignty in the design and implementation of sustainable forest management policies and standards In accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the Rio Forest Principles, and the principles of international law, all states have both the sovereign right and obligation to develop their own sustainable forest management objectives. States must act to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause environmental, social, or economic damage to areas and people beyond the limits of their national jurisdiction or violate international protocols and conventions. Application: Forest certification systems, forest stakeholders, especially Major Groups and OECD countries, must respect each nation?s chosen path to promote sustainable development, the Millennium Development Goals, and sustainably managed forests in their actions, policies and guidelines. Principle 3: Protect the complexity of forest ecosystems, forest-dependent economies, and rural culture by adopting integrated forest management plans and policies In order to promote sustainable forest management, forest certification standards, national forest policy, and private and public procurement guidelines must meet the needs of present and future generations by promoting economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just outcomes based on the national and/or local context. Application: Forest certification standards, public policy and procurement guidelines must integrate competing demands in order to meet the needs of all stakeholders to deliver balanced socially, economically and environmentally sustainable solutions. Principle 4: Contribute to poverty reduction through empowerment of the poor Peace, social justice, global economic equity, and Environmental protection are interdependent and indivisible. Poverty reduction is an indispensable requirement for sustainable forest management; it is an integral part of the development process and cannot be considered in isolation from it. The linkage between deforestation and poverty is strong, compelling, and in need of specific attention. Measures diminishing forest resources to increase agricultural resources to contribute to food security must directly contribute to the sustainable livelihoods of those affected. Application: Forest certification systems, Major Groups and governments may contribute to mitigate deforestation and promote afforestation within their boundaries and jurisdictions and seek to safeguard forest resources. Standards and policies must promote the efficient use of forest resources, good forest management, and provide for increased wealth retention in rural communities through partnerships with smallholders, community-owned forests, and indigenous peoples? organizations, in addition to maximizing formal employment opportunities. Principle 5: Open and accessible stakeholder processes are essential Sustainable forest management is best achieved through the empowerment of all stakeholders in open and accessible processes. Special outreach must occur for those groups lacking a tradition of involvement or lacking the resources required. Application: Forest certification governance systems, private and public procurement entities, and standards development processes must seek to ensure the involvement of Major Groups and governments in a multistakeholder, consensus-driven process, respecting the right to self-identification and self-determination while avoiding governance systems and decision-making processes designed to restrict the voice or participation of any stakeholder. Principle 6: Transparency, inclusiveness, and collaboration are fundamental prerequisites for global sustainability Expanding sustainable forest management to all of the world?s forest requires cooperative and transparent processes among all stakeholders and governments. Promoting division, competition, and exclusivity among and between different approaches to sustainable forest management wastes limited resources, encroaches on stakeholder-driven processes, diverts attention from areas where deforestation and unsustainable forest management are still common practices, and fails to expand the total volume of global well-managed forest area. Application: Certification schemes, procurement guidelines, and those seeking to protect forests must promote standards, policies, and practices, which are inclusive and recognize the superiority of all types of sustainably managed forests and certification systems as a tool to promote sustainable development. Principle 7: Utilize the benefits of renewable and climate-smart forest-based products Sustainable forest management must adapt to complex societal challenges such as climate change, population growth and increasing resource shortages caused by unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, especially those that are high-carbon emitting. Recognizing the unique attributes of forest products from sustainably managed forests both in terms of carbon sequestration, other ecosystem services, and development values is critical for public and private policy makers, including climate policy negotiators. Application: Forest certification systems, governments, and procurement entities must recognize and use all tools available to support forests to adapt and thrive with these challenges including adaptive silvicultural practices, promotion of recycled and forest-based products for their unique attributes in terms of carbon sequestration, other ecosystem services, and development values. Principle 8: Rely on science, local experience, and traditional forest-related knowledge to advance sustainable forest management Sustainable forest management will be most successful when it is based on scientific, local experience and traditional forest knowledge, as well as international protocols and processes. Improving scientific understanding through exchanges of scientific, local and traditional forest-related and technological knowledge, and the development, adaptation, diffusion and transfer of technologies, is critical to the delivery of a balanced approach to sustainable forest management. Indigenous peoples have a vital role in sustainable forest management because of their knowledge and traditional practices. Application: Forest certification systems, governments and procurement entities must develop standards based on the best available science, local and traditional knowledge and be structured such that developing countries, communities and small forest landowners have a clear path to meet the forest management standards. These approaches must be independently verifiable, using guidelines and requirements in compliance with internationally respected organizations such as ISO. Conflicts of interests between governmental procurement entities, standard-setting bodies, certification organizations, accreditation bodies, and auditors must be handled accordingly in order to provide legitimacy to the process. Principle 9: Use a precautionary approach to prevent irreversible damage In order to best safeguard forest resources, precautionary approaches must be widely applied by all stakeholders where there are imminent threats of serious or irreversible damage. Application: Forest certification systems, governments, and procurement entities must strive for continuous improvement while remaining aware of the consequences of their programmes and standards for all stakeholders. Principle 10: Promoting global acceptance of sustainable forest management through voluntary programmes and education is the fastest path to healthy forests and vibrant rural communities Achieving sustainable forest management is a major challenge in many parts of the world. Voluntary forest certification and private and public procurement policies are important tools to protect forests and forestdependent populations. Application: Forest certification systems, Major Groups and governments have an obligation to make available and use, for the advancement of sustainable forest management, their respective areas of expertise, influence and power. Policies, standards and tactics that negatively affect forest-dependent people, deny markets to sustainably managed forests, and create development obstacles, lead to inefficiencies in the allocation of resources, and are a barrier to advancing sustainable forest management globally and locally

I am assembling a 59 pan back to original (mostly) but NOT restoring it ,I want to ride it as my main ride.
I'm assembling this bike from 2 basket cases ,a 1961 and 1959.The 61 had been a restoration before being stolen,most of the parts I have from the 61except the eng and frame,so I'n making a 59 because of the eng serial no.and I have the headlite and tins etc.
This bike has a dual crossover exhaust,which was on the 61 .The fellow who restored it had a one peice squish/connector pipe put on it , OEM 65539-65 which came out in 1965.other than that everything is 59.
So before I go any further I want to be sure the exhaust is matching up ,( I have not yet cut the extra slots in the pipes that go on the cylinders).I ordered a set of 9 muffler clamps from Antique cycle,and am not sure where they go.I attached a photo of Harleys parts books dual exhaust system ,showing the old and new versions of the exhaust system.
After looking at plumbers pics I better ask some questions.
I see which clamps hold the pipes to the cylinders,and the big clamps that hold the mufflers on.
But on item 39 in the photo ( the one peice squish/connector pipe) the clamp wont fit over the joint,Plumbers photo looks like maybe it isnt suposed to ,it looks like you just slide the front cyl pipe into the connector pipe and use the clamp to suport the front pipe to the frame ( with the help of the small clamp).the book doesn't seem to show a clamp to fit that joint,so I'm hoping I'm right.
Next is item 32 in the pic,the tee pipe,it looks like only the cyl port clamp goes on it ,the other 2 openings are slide in fits.meaning the crossover pipe doesnt have a clamp on the joint where it meets the tee pipe nor does the bottom joint of item 32 where it joins the squish/connector pipe .I have a suport clamp that goes on the crossover and bolts to a cyl bolt ,but hav'nt got that far to figure which one.
What I just describes takes up all nine clamps .Can someone please confirm this ?
