Hello and welcome to HeartShrineVillage!
Perhaps you are thinking of joining our community or are currently a member, in which case, we invite you to go over these basic rules for our group.
Most of these rules are common sense rules - for example, treat others as you wish to be treated - but a few relate to more specific things about the world in which our RP is set. As such, the rules are split into two sections, Rules of Conduct, and Original Character Rules.
Rules of Conduct
Be respectful of other players and their characters.By entering this group, you are essentially agreeing to allow your character to be subject to inspection, critique and use by other members of the group.
If you do intend to use another player's character in your works, the general rule is to ask permission first, and be willing to accept their criticism of how you depict their character. Always be sure to check the Stat Wheels and profile information of another player's character when using them in your works. If their character is stronger than yours, it's not very likely that your character will easily beat theirs.
Critique should be polite and professional when it is asked for. If critique on a work is not desired, do not give it.
If you're in the chatroom, roleplaying with someone and they say "I'm uncomfortable," immediately stop what you're doing and ask how you can move back to a more comfortable subject.
Keep drama to a minimum.Everyone has bad days and we're not going to punish you for it. Ultimately, though, this is a place were you can come to unwind and let those worries go, even if you are just in dire need of an ear to listen. Don't be afraid to approach chat moderators or the group administrators if you have a problem or even just need to vent for a little while: we won't discuss what you talk about with us and we have private chats where you can voice any concerns you might have.
If you have a problem with another member or the direction an RP session or story is going, please inform an administrator as soon as possible, so that we may address the situation in a timely fashion. Do not resort to fighting, name-calling or harassment: these actions will not be tolerated.
If another member is treating you in an abusive fashion, please get a screencap of this and send it to us. You can take screencaps by pressing "Print Screen" on PCs and by simultaneously pressing the buttons "Command", "Shift", and "3" on a Mac.
Likewise, if you have a problem with a specific administrator, please bring it up with the Mikokage ranked administrator - currently, this is [ddsgale].
Do not trace or copy another artist or writer's works.We do not allow recolors of canonical Naruto characters or other artist's works.
Using references and stock material is perfectly fine, as long as these references and stock items are properly credited. Adoptable character images fall under "stock" and use of that specific image must be credited to the originating artist or designer.
Works containing Mature Content or triggers must have the appropriate filter and warnings.As much as we're a silly place, serious things can happen in RP or the process of storytelling and that's totally cool! But, out of respect for members of the group who might find such subjects distressing, all we ask is that you make sure that they know there's certain themes or subjects that could be upsetting.
Please be aware that any role play sessions or content (including your character's back story) containing the following is strictly not allowed and subject for immediate removal from the group:
---Physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, parental or domestic abuse.
---Explicit reference to or graphic description of abortions, miscarriages, self-harm, underage pregnancy, dismemberment, cannibalism, massacres, violent episodes of insanity, incest or rape.
Submit to the appropriate folders.Works in progress and sketch dumps are not permitted within the gallery, except in the sketches folder.
Good, clear detailed sketches are fine Check our Minimum Quality Control rule for more clarification.
All written prompts must be a minimum of 1000 words to count towards the mission.
If you do not know which folder to submit to, please ask and we will help you.
If you need to drop the group temporarily or are going to be inactive for a while, let us know!Hey, life happens! You may not always have the time to RP, but you don't want to leave all your friends in HSV hanging. All you do is drop us a note and we'll put your character down as having gone off on some Super Secret Long-Term Assignment. Whenever you're ready to come back, they'll be waiting for you or you can start off with a whole new character!
Members will be put on a Wallflower list after a period of 3 months with no activity in the group if we are not notified that they will be taking a break from the group.
If you deactivate your account, in a week you will be removed from the group.
More information about the Wallflower system here fav.me/d78l9ct
Original Character Rules
These rules serve as the general guidelines under which you can create characters in our group. Please read them through carefully.
Members are allowed to have one active OC to start with.Opportunities to create new active character are unlocked once your FIRST playable character has reached the rank of chuunin.
When naming your OC, please check our Census blog to see if the name is already taken. If it is, consider picking a different name for your character.
Members are allowed to name and mention family members and pets, so long as they are not the sole focus of their works or told in their point of view.
Pets must follow the rules in our Animals blog.
All OCs are confined to the HeartShrineVillage setting.This means:
Your OC must wear PINK in their attire, as it's our official colour.
Your OC may not be related to, married to, or be rivals with any of the existing characters and clans from the Naruto manga, anime or video games.
No canon Naruto kekkei genkai, such as the Rinnegan or Sharingan. Heart Shrine has its own kekkei genkai, unique to the setting, and those are the only kekkei genkai permitted.
No, your OC can't be a jinchuuriki for any of the tailed beasts, the Juubi, demonic, divine or angelic entities, or a horcrux.
Your OC is not the reincarnation of any canon Naruto character, up to and including the Sage of the Six Paths.
Your OC does not belong to the Akatsuki or any similar villainous organizations with nefarious leanings.
Your OC cannot use techniques unique to only certain canonical ninja, such as Kakashi's Raikiri or Minato's Rasengan.
Barring special missions and events set by administrators, your OC has never been to the Elemental Countries and knows no one there.
Your OC starts at the beginning.This means your character doesn't have access to the same skills and stuff an experienced character will have and will have to earn them as they play within the setting.
Starter characters will not have access to any of the following:
Specialty weapons
Hiden techniques or specialty jutsu
Kekkei Genkai
Special Jobs or Titles
Stat boosts are capped by level
GENIN LEVEL --> 17 point limit
CHUNIN LEVEL --> 23 point limit
SPECIAL JOUNIN LEVEL --> 27 point limit
JOUNIN LEVEL --> 30 point limit
HIGH JOUNIN LEVEL --> 35 point limit
TOP TIER JOUNIN LEVEL --> 40 point limit
KAGE LEVEL --> 40 point limit
When creating your character, please be aware that the following are strictly not allowed:Super powers
Wings or animal features that are unrelated to your character's family or ninja tools (such as the Inuzuka)
Mythical creatures as pets or summons
Weird characteristics such as two-toned hair or eyes or Really Ridiculously Specific birthmarks.
Tragic back-stories containing explicit rape, incest, emotional, domestic, parental or sexual abuse. Please refer back to Rule #4 of our Rules of Conduct above for the complete list.
Interaction is key!At its core, Heart Shrine is a role-playing village and that means... your character is going to have to play with others. Even if your character is a a bit of a loner and takes a while to warm up to others, you can still find ways to interact with your fellow villagers.
You can draw, write, chat or even play over instant messenger services with other players.
If you're looking for a good place to start, pop over to the Matchmaker blog and consider approaching a character that's looking for friends.
Don't be afraid to brainstorm with other players - talk out ideas and see where they take you!
Above all, keep in mind the rules of conduct, especially rule Number 1: be respectful.
This revision to the HeartShrineVillage rules went active on March 3, 2014.

historical almsgiving
Middle English (denoting goodness or generosity): from Old French bonte 'goodness', from Latin bonitas, from bonus 'good'. The sense 'monetary reward' dates from the early 18th century.
bonus from late 18th century:
This was probably originally Stock Exchange slang, coming from Latin bonus 'good'. Very recently—too recently to get into most dictionaries—the word malus has been recorded for a fine or penalty, based on Latin malus 'bad' on the pattern of bonus. The French form of bonus, bon may lie behind the mainly Scottish bonny 'good, fair'. Bounty (Middle English) goes back to the same source. See also bonanza

It's a challenge to describe Gernot Minke's home and surrounding neighborhood to a taxi driver, much less convince the driver to stop upon finding the street. That's because Gernot's home is barely visible from the street, and it looks like a large mound of dirt covered in grass and flowers. The hobbit-like entrance is the only clue that someone lives here.
This quiet suburb of Kassel, Germany, is home to architect, artist, professor, and author Gernot Minke. On this lovely spring day, Gernot's garden is bustling with birds, and the small pond outside is teeming with life. The plants in the surrounding landscape blend with the mix of grasses and flowers covering the roof, making it difficult to determine where the ground ends and the roof begins. The entire ecosystem is reaping the benefits of Gernot's sod roof.
Gernot's home is part of a district that was once considered undesirable because of its proximity to small industry, so the city readily supported Gernot's proposal to redesign and green the area—a model for ecological development—in the early 1990s. Codes require that all homes built in the neighborhood have grass or sod roofs; fences are prohibited—only natural landscape barriers can be constructed; roads can't be sealed to ensure that rain doesn't run off; and cars must be parked in an area away from the houses. The result is a lush oasis in the middle of suburbia. The housing development is hardly discernable from a distance even though there are thirty-five residences, mostly single-family homes.
Spiraling sculpture
Inside Gernot's understated entry, the space opens into a voluminous, light-filled dome rising thirteen feet high. Clay bricks circle around, layer upon layer, up to a glass skylight. From this central dome, the 216-square-meter home includes six other domed rooms, two framed with timbers, and four clay-constructed variations. The floor plan, resembling a honeycomb design, is a sculpture in every sense of the word. Gernot's twenty-seven years of studying and experimenting with earth construction have produced a place that not only complements the environment but is also truly part of it.
Many people associate earth building with arid climates, but Gernot has developed a formula that works in central Germany's damp climate. Key to this formula is a grass roof consisting of a layer of rock-wool thermal insulation, a water- and root-resistant skin, a light substratum, and a top layer of earth and lava, ideal soil in which to grow his grasses and flowers. This layer provides thermal insulation and protects the loam from the elements while providing the necessary vapor diffusion to regulate the humidity.
Gernot, a professor at the University of Kassel and director of the Research Laboratory for Experimental Building, is widely regarded as the European expert on clay and earth construction. He has been heading the research program at the university for twenty-seven years, guiding students as they build experimental dwellings on campus and off. He stresses that earth is a cheap, healthy, nonpolluting building material that is readily available in most parts of the world. Gernot's book, The Earth Construction Handbook (WIT Press, 2000), is the bible of contemporary earth construction, and more than 1,800 people have attended his intensive workshops and courses.
Beautiful benefits
Gernot's art of clay construction takes on a new meaning in both his bathroom and sunroom, where he coiled clay so that it snakes around the rooms to form the walls. The use of clay in bathrooms is not only a visual treat, but Gernot asserts it has hygienic benefits, too. Mirrors in a tiled bathroom fog up after a hot shower and take anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes to clear in a closed room. In contrast, mirrors in a bathroom with loam walls in similar conditions take three to six minutes to clear because the clay walls absorb humidity when it's higher than about 50 percent, and they release it later when the humidity falls below 50 percent.
Gernot developed the unique coil design in the bathroom, in which he feeds lightweight loam through a pump or a funnel into a cotton hose. The cotton hose is tied off and gently squeezed so the loam oozes out and forms a thin layer over the fabric. When stacked, these hoses adhere together and can easily be shaped into sculptural designs.
The wattle and daub method used in Gernot's sunroom is another time-tested method of mud construction, probably older than using earthen blocks. Loam, usually mixed with straw or fibers, is thrown or pressed onto a structure of vertical and horizontal members. Although extremely labor intensive, the wattle and daub method has been widely used throughout the world.
Most of Gernot's unfired clay walls have no finish, but in the library he used a lime and casein, or quark, wash. Quark, obtained when rennet from young cows is added to skim milk, is readily available in German grocery stores and resembles something between yogurt and cottage cheese. The lime reacts with casein and forms a chemical waterproofing agent.
An earthen womb
When he's not teaching at the university, Gernot works in his office and architecture studio at home. He recently completed a thirty-six-foot dome kindergarten, and teachers there are marveling at the structure's positive affect on children. Gernot has experienced the same effect from living in his own dome, which he likens to an earthen womb. "The connection to the sky within the dome is inspirational," he says. "It also gives me a feeling of peace and security."
Beyond his artistic building, Gernot finds time to create paintings inspired by dream images and influenced by Native American art. His paintings grace the clay walls throughout the house, adding a colorful and spiritual dimension.
Why build with earth?
After 25 years of research, Gernot Minke has come up with a list of clay's benefits, including natural absorption and distribution of humidity. Unbaked clay (or loam) absorbs and emits moisture to keep the level of relative humidity inside a home at 50 percent, fluctuating by only 5 to 10 percent throughout the year—even in humid climates. This promotes a healthy environment by ensuring higher humidity than is normally found in the winter and less in the summer.
Loam also stores heat, making it desirable as a passive solar heat sink. Environmentally, loam requires less than 1 percent of the energy needed for production, transport, and handling of processed bricks or concrete. Clay soil is often present at the building site and can be used to construct the clay forms, thereby reducing material costs. Loam construction is also readily attainable by the ambitious do-it-yourselfer.
Drawbacks? Loam is not a standardized building material and changes from site to site. Correct preparation of the mix of clay, silt, sand, and water is crucial to success. Loam will shrink when it dries and is not water repellant, but it can be easily protected using any number of plasters or lime washes, by adding linseed oil to the clay, or by creating a heavy compaction and working the wet loam with a metal trowel to a shine. Also, providing large overhangs that protect against the elements reduces the need for plasters or waterproofing.

Kellie Pickler Takes Dance Rehearsals on the Road
Sure, she's killing it on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, but Kellie is keeping her country career fox-trotting along as well.
In fact, this is a brutal weekend for Kellie: Starting Thursday (April 25), she has three shows in three nights in three different cities.
So Kellie is taking dance partner Derek Hough on the road.
"I am a little stressed about this week 'cause it's gonna be a lot of flying, a lot of traveling and I have to learn like three dances, I think three or four dances, actually," Kellie tells United Stations.
"So we're gonna be rehearsing before my concerts and after. I'm definitely gonna have a coffee rush this week," she says, laughing. "I'm gonna have to have a lot of coffee."
Kellie's next dances are live Monday night (April 29) at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

New Veggie Garden Planner
Winter is the perfect time to plan out the vegetable garden. Designing a garden used to entail sitting at the kitchen table with seed catalogs, pieces of graph paper, and pencils and sketching out what goes where. Also, there's usually a fair amount of head-scratching trying to remember how certain vegetables performed and whether you should try a different variety.
In the digital age, you can do all your planning on the computer. A new vegetable garden design software called Plangarden makes vegetable gardening a snap. This Web-based program is simple and easy to use. It has a Zoom and Planning feature that can help you create a garden as large as 5 acres or as small as a dooryard garden. You can create odd-shaped beds, container plantings, raised beds, and even square-foot garden beds. There are drag-and-drop graphics, text labels, and a journal area where you can write notes about each crop. The harvest estimator can help you stagger your harvest. You can also invite comments from other Plangarden users about your garden design.
For more information on this vegetable garden planner, go to: Plangarden.

Hi Folks
Whenever I try to search for installed themes (or install a new one) in a fresh WordPress 3.5.1 (path: Admin Panel > Appearance > Themes) I get a
Fatal error: Cannot run code from this file in conjunction with non encoded files in (two random UTF-8 chars) on line 369
The two random chars can be o², àx, £¢ or any strange non-ASCII combination. The funny thing is that themes.php does not have a line 369...
As I said, the site is a fresh WP install with NO plugins, NO other themes and NO content. The only installed themes are Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve.
I think it is not related to version as it used to happen on 3.4.x also.
I've contacted my hosting provider (Mochahost, by the way) to see if they can help, but they keep telling me robot answers like "clean your browser cache" ant things like that.
I just can't start workin on a client's website because I can't upload any theme.
Any clues?

"If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another."
—Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
LIFE OFTEN leads you where you least expect to go and where you never imagine you'll have the courage to prevail.
Looking back 32 years, Julia Quinlan reflects on the day when she and her husband, Joe, were caught in an emotional turmoil. They were trapped in a parents' nightmare, unable to wake their daughter Karen Ann from the coma into which a tragic accident had plunged her five years earlier and prevent the certainty of her death. Yet through the shared pain Julia and Joe endured, a promise of peace, solace and comfort for others emerged as they worked to create a memorial for Karen Ann. Although the idea was in its organizational infancy in those days, a tiny, spare hospital office in Newton, N.J., bore a small sign with a big name: Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice.

Ragdoll Maggie tells her life story of November 2009
One of my newest favourite places for a nap is a blue chair, see below photo. The other cats like this place too so I have to be quickly in the morning to get it first. My staff even made a photo from me, just woke up from my nap. I have to jump very high but because I am getting older it won't give me any problems. Especially in the afternoon when the sun is coming in it's a nice spot.
What the hell is going on, it's war. I see a lot of smoke and lightning in all colours of the rainbow, but what's that noise? Do you know what time it is? My staff likes it a lot, they are watching the event. Also some of the cats seems to enjoy it, strange animals. Some of that noise comes from close by. It looks like it comes from our neighbours. I hope they don't do it too often because I don't like it. Once in a life time is enough for me. The other cats tell me that it is for Guy Fawkes. I have been told that in Europe they do the same silly event in a couple of weeks from now.
Oh no, my mum is acting stupid again! She doesn't like me anymore, she is yelling. Rubbing against all the things in the house except me, I know what it is: she wants a men. My mum have been invited to my dads domain. I can see her with my dad, they realy like each other a lot. This is very unusual to me because when she is with me she doesn't talk about him nor giving him any attention when we are passing by on the way to my staff's bedroom. Hopefully this will be over soon because I just want my mum back and lay together with her in the sun in the biggest basket I have ever seen!
My staff is always calling me a wee girl, because I am not really that big for my age. Also for the other cats I am the little one. But the last couple of weeks I grown 100 grams weekly. I feel that I am getting bigger and I even can challenge other cats. Sometimes I am winning because I am also younger and have much more energy.

Tahmooressi gets day in court
American Andrew Tahmooressi had his day in Federal court in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on Wednesday, July 9th, 2014 where he is facing weapons charges after he arrived at the U.S. Mexico Border with loaded weapons, including a semi-automatic rifle, a handgun and a shotgun along with some 400 rounds of ammunition in the cab of his truck. Outsiders including journalists were not allowed in the proceedings so they waited around all day outside for news on the outcome. He says he mistakenly arrived at the border and had no intentions of crossing but could not turn around. The Mexican court is deciding on his fate. He is scheduled to go back to court on August 4th.

When students return to New Castle Elementary School, one of the many new faces they'll encounter will be that of their new principal, Lane Morris.
It's hard to believe that he envisioned his first appointment as a school's top administrator in such a topsy-turvy world.
By the end of July, locally-grown fruit, fruit pies, jellies and jams plus seasonal vegetables will line shelves at Hillview Farm's new retail store.
Owner Paul Tokosh has erected a 40x72 building complete with 18x20 walk-in cooler on the farm to accommodate a generous inventory of whatever happens to be in season.
In a hectic week that got even more hectic over the weekend, I'm coming off my worst seven-day stretch of training since I first started preparing for the Louisville Ford Ironman. Some things are just more important, and I quickly figured that out last week.
In my second column pertaining to my preparation for the Louisville Ironman — a short series I started last week and will conclude following the Aug. 29 event — I have little to write about regarding my actual time spent swimming, biking or running.
History was made over the weekend at the Henry County Country Club Championship as MacKenzie Peyton became the youngest-ever golf champion at just 13 years old and Brad Gross won his record-stretching 14th title.
Peyton, who will be an eighth grader at Henry County Middle School this year and one of the top high school golfers, shot an 82 on Saturday and came back with a 74 on Sunday for a 156, five strokes ahead of runner-up Carolyn Paul.
I've taken some ribbing recently from family members. It started a couple of months ago, when my husband noticed something was different.
As we got ready to sit down at the table for dinner, he asked "So why are we eating at the table so much now?"
Over the weekend, my own mother expressed some surprise that we were sitting down at the table to eat a late lunch I'd prepared.
Wednesday, July 21
Children's Story and Craft hour every Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. at Pleasureville Christian Church. Also, the community library at the church is open to the public.
Thursday, July 22
Free adult scrapbooking offered at the Eminence Community Life Center from 10 a.m. until noon on Thursdays.
With the first day of school less than a month away, a decision on a traffic plan for New Castle Elementary School has not yet been made.
Officials have delayed a decision on the plan until they could be certain of how far along the building project would be by opening day. "We haven't got a traffic plan until we can see how much room we'll have," Superintendent Tim Abrams said at Monday's Henry County Board of Education meeting Monday night.

The C-5 Galaxy is a heavy-cargo transport designed to provide strategic airlift for deployment and supply of combat and support forces. The C-5 can carry unusually large and heavy cargo for intercontinental ranges at jet speeds. The plane can take off and land in relatively short distances and taxi on substandard surfaces during emergency operations. The C-5 and the smaller C-141B Starlifter are strategic airlift partners. Together they carry fully equipped, combat-ready troops to any area in the world on short notice and provide full field support necessary to maintain a fighting force.
Using the front and rear cargo openings, the Galaxy can be loaded and off-loaded at the same time. Both nose and rear doors open the full width and height of the cargo compartment, allowing drive-through loading and unloading of wheeled and tracked vehicles, and faster, easier loading of bulky equipment. A "kneeling" landing gear system lowers the aircraft's cargo floor to truck-bed height. The entire cargo floor has a roller system for rapid handling of palletized equipment. Thirty-six fully loaded pallets can be loaded aboard in about 90 minutes.
The Galaxy's weight is distributed on its high flotation landing gear, which has 28 wheels. The landing gear system can raise each set of wheels individually for simplified tire changes or brake maintenance.
An automatic trouble-shooting system constantly monitors more than 800 test points in the various subsystems of the C-5. The Malfunction Detection Analysis and Recording System uses a digital computer to identify malfunctions in replaceable units. Failure and trend information is recorded on magnetic tape for analysis.
Four turbofan engines mounted on pylons under the wings power the C-5. Each engine pod is nearly 27 feet (8.2 meters) long, weighs 7,900 pounds (3,555 kilograms) and has an air intake diameter of more than 8 1/2 feet (2.6 meters). The Galaxy has 12 integral wing tanks with a capacity of 51,150 gallons (194,370 liters) of fuel - enough to fill 6 1/2 regular-size railroad tank cars. The fuel weighs 322,500 pounds (145,125 kilograms) and permits the C-5, carrying a 204,904-pound (92,207-kilogram) payload, to fly 2,150 nautical miles (3,440 kilometers), off-load, and fly another 500 miles (800 kilometers) without aerial refueling.Features unique to the C-5 include the forward cargo door (visor) and ramp and the aft cargo door system and ramp. These features allow drive-on/drive-off loading and unloading as well as loading and unloading from either end of the cargo compartment. The C-5's kneeling capability also facilitates and expedites these operations by lowering the cargo com-partment floor by about 10 feet to 3 feet off the ground. This position lowers cargo ramps for truck bed and ground loading and reduces ramp angles for loading and unloading vehicles. The C-5's floor does not have treadways. The "floor-bearing pressure" is the same over the entire floor. The C-5A/B can carry up to thirty-six 463L pallets. The troop compartment is located in the aircraft's upper deck. It is self-contained with a galley, two lavatories, and 73 available passenger seats (CB at FS 1675). Another 267 airline seats may be installed on the cargo compartment floor (maximum combined total of 329 troops including air crew over water).
Except for emergencies or unusual circumstances, the C-5 does not carry troops in the lower-deck cargo compartment; but 73 seats are available in the rear compartment of the upper deck for personnel and operators of equipment being airlifted. The C-5 has carried special loads, such as large missiles, that would require extra time, manpower and dollars to transport via ship, rail or flatbed truck.
The forward upper deck accommodates a crew of six, a relief crew of seven, and eight mail or message couriers. The flight deck has work stations for the pilot, co-pilot, two flight engineers and two loadmasters. The upper deck's forward and rear compartments have galleys for food preparation, as well as lavatories.
The Galaxy has sophisticated communications equipment and a triple inertial navigation system, making it nearly self-sufficient. It can operate without using ground-based navigational aids.
The electrical system has four engine-driven generators, each powerful enough to supply the aircraft sufficient electricity. Each of the two main landing gear pods carries an auxiliary power unit to supply electric and pneumatic power for engine starts and ground air conditioning, heating, cooling and ventilation. Air turbine motors in the landing gear pods also can power the hydraulic systems and the main landing gear kneeling motors.
The Galaxy is one of the world's largest aircraft. It is almost as long as a football field and as high as a six-story building and has a cargo compartment about the size of an eight-lane bowling alley. The C-5 is the only aircraft that can transport any of the Army's combat equipment, including the 74-ton (66,600-kilogram) mobile scissors bridge, tanks and helicopters.
The first C-5A was delivered to the Transitional Training Unit at Altus Air Force Base, Okla., in December 1969. The first operational C-5s were delivered to the 437th Military Airlift Wing, Charleston Air Force Base, S.C., in June 1970. In December 1984, the 433rd Tactical Airlift Wing (now the 433rd Military Airlift Wing) at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, became the first Air Force Reserve wing equipped with C-5 Galaxies.
The first C-5B incorporating significant improvements such as strengthened wings and updated avionics was delivered to Altus Air Force Base in January 1986. C-5 production concluded with delivery of the last "B" model aircraft in April 1989.
The C-5, with its massive payload capability, has opened unprecedented dimensions of strategic airlift in support of national defense. For 20 years it has been involved in many historic airlift missions, and is invaluable to the Air Force mission and humanitarian efforts. For example, in December 1988, four C-5s participated in the delivery of more than 885,000 pounds (398,250 kilograms) of earthquake relief supplies to the then-Soviet Republic of Armenia. The C-5 also assisted with an Alaskan oil spill cleanup in March 1989, transporting nearly 2 million pounds (900,000 kilograms) of equipment to Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska.
The most dramatic display of the Galaxy's capability and value was during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The C-5, along with other Air Force transport aircraft, airlifted almost a half-million passengers and more than 577,000 tons (519,300 metric tons) of cargo. This included 15 air-transportable hospitals and the more than 5,000 medical personnel to run them, and more than 211 tons (189.9 metric tons) of mail to and from the men and women in the Middle East - each day.On 04 August 2000 the CF6-80C2L1F turbofan engine has been selected by Lockheed Martin Corporation to power the C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP). This engine is a model of the highly successful CF6-80C2 engine family. The C-5 re-engining program is part of a multi-phase effort by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to modernize its fleet of 126 C-5 aircraft to achieve increased mission effectiveness and readiness. If fully implemented, the C-5 RERP effort will lead to sales of more than 500 CF6-80C2L1F propulsion systems, plus service support from GE.

Record and controversies
Iraq War
Rep. John Murtha / "Coward" controversy
On November 18, 2005 the House debated a Republican-sponsored resolution, H. Res. 572, calling for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. It was prompted by the call of John Murtha, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, for the redeployment of American forces as soon as possible. During debate on adopting the rule for debating the resolution, H. Res. 563, Schmidt said this:
- Yesterday I stood at Arlington National Cemetery attending the funeral of a young Marine in my district. He believed in what we were doing is the right thing and had the courage to lay his life on the line to do it. A few minutes ago I received a call from Colonel Danny Bubp, Ohio Representative from the 88th district in the Ohio House. He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message, that cowards cut and run, Marines never do. Danny and the rest of America and the world want the assurance from this body—that we will see this through. [1]
Schmidt's "coward" remark threw the House into an uproar. Many Democrats saw it as an unwarranted "cheap shot" against Murtha, a 38-year Marine Corps veteran. Angry Democrats led by Vic Snyder of Arkansas demanded that the remarks be "taken down," i.e. that the House consider whether they were unparliamentary. Martin Meehan of Massachusetts screamed "You guys are pathetic! Pathetic!" Harold Ford of Tennessee charged to the Republican side, waving his finger at Schmidt and other Republicans, yelling "Say it to Murtha!" or "Say Murtha's name!" and had to be restrained by David R. Obey of Wisconsin. After ten minutes, Schmidt asked for and received permission from the House to withdraw her remarks and apologized to Murtha. Had she not done so, she risked being sanctioned for violating House rules against disparaging other members. [2]
The next day, Saturday Night Live lampooned Schmidt's apology.
A spokeswoman for Bubp said that the state representative "did not mention Congressman Murtha by name nor did he mean to disparage Congressman Murtha" and that he felt "the words that Congresswoman Schmidt chose did not represent their conversation." [3] The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Bubp said "he never mentioned. . . Murtha . . . by name when talking with Schmidt, and he would never call a fellow Marine a coward." Bubp told the Enquirer "I don't want to be interjected into this. I wish she never used my name." [4]

Campaign Controversy
Schmidt was criticized in ads paid for by the Club for Growth, the Washington, D.C.-based group associated with Grover Norquist which actively works for the defeat of Republicans it considers insufficiently conservative, such as Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. The Club compared her unfavorably to rival Tom Brinkman, who was hailed in the ad as "Honest. Conservative. Leader." The Ohio Taxpayers Association disputed the Club's ad. Its president told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Schmidt had "a pretty good record" in Columbus and that the OTA's political action committee had endorsed her. [5]
The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes [6], a Cincinnati-based group founded by Tom Brinkman (who lost the GOP primary to Schmidt), began running ads in the last week of July urging voters to skip the election. COAST's president, Jim Urling, told The Cincinnati Enquirer that this might help elect Hackett, but "we think it will be easier to remove a Democrat next year than an incumbent Republican posing as a conservative."
A month before the election the inspector general of the Ohio General Assembly announced he was investigating three legislators for accepting gifts and failing to report them. Schmidt was implicated in this, but could not be investigated because she was no longer a member of the Ohio house. On October 24, 2004, the legislators had accepted dinner at Nicola's Ristorante on Sycamore Street in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood and Cincinnati Bengals tickets from a lobbyist for pharmaceutical company Chiron, Richard B. Colby. Schmidt said she thought her $644 gift was from former Bengals player Boomer Esiason, who was, like Chiron, interested in cystic fibrosis. A month later Schmidt cosponsored enabling legislation (HB 549) with an estimated maximum cost to the state of approximately $74,930 [7].
Schmidt repaid the lobbyist for the cost of the entertainment. Her spokesman told The Columbus Dispatch "Jean specifically asked if this was a reportable gift. We immediately corrected it by paying the full price of the tickets." Her former colleague Raussen blamed Colby. "Here we have a lobbyist who was extremely sloppy."
Her opponent, Paul Hackett hammered on Schmidt's ethics. When she denied she knew or ever met Thomas Noe, at the center of the Coingate investment scandal at the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation, Hackett produced minutes from a meeting of the Ohio Board of Regents that showed Schmidt had indeed met with Noe, once a regent. On July 29, the Toledo Blade reported on a 2001 e-mail from Governor Taft's assistant Jon Allison complaining Schmidt was "bugging" him about setting up an Internet lottery for Cincinnati businessman Roger Ach, who gave her a $1,000 contribution the next year. Schmidt spokesman Fritz Wenzel said the candidate did not recall any conversations with the governor about Ach's business.
Marathon controversy
In August 2006, Schmidt was accused of lying on her re-election campaign website regarding her time in the 1993 Columbus Marathon. Nathan Noy, a candidate running as a write-in candidate against Schmidt, argued that the 03:19:06 time listed was false. He cited that the time would have placed Schmidt among the race's top finishers, while a newspaper article of the top runners does not include her. Joseph Braun, an attorney representing Schmidt, asserted that the photograph is authentic . He produced what he said was an official race results book, listing Schmidt as the fifth-place finisher in her age group with a time of 3:19:09, three seconds slower than the time depicted in the photograph. Noy said he believes the photo may be a fake and suggested that Schmidt never even participated in the event. He notes that in the photo, Schmidt does not cast a shadow while other runners do.
State law prohibits candidates from publishing false statements designed to help win an election. On August 24, 2006, a four-member commission panel ruled that there was enough evidence to look into the complaint. [8]
Schmidt was born November 29, 1951. She is a lifelong resident of Miami Township, Ohio —the area along the eastern shore of the Little Miami River near Milford and Loveland.
She holds two bachelor's degrees from the University of Cincinnati, one in political science, earned in 1974, and one in secondary education for social studies, earned in 1986. Schmidt worked in her father's bank, the Midwestern Savings Association, as a branch manager from 1971 to 1978. She was a fitness instructor from 1984 to 1986, when she began a four year career as a schoolteacher. Schmidt was elected as a Miami Township trustee in 1989, launching her political career.
In 2000 she ran for the Ohio House of Representatives seat being vacated by Sam Bateman, who was prevented by term limits from running again. As a state lawmaker, The Cincinnati Enquirer wrote she introduced and passed bills "remarkable in number and quality for a neophyte lawmaker." She sponsored legislation on the Clermont County courts [9], limiting the ability of public employees to collect a pension and a salary ("double dipping") [10], urban townships, and protecting townships from annexations of their territory by cities, all of which were passed into law. She also pushed legislation on the health of women, suicide prevention, sexual abstinence education, and to "lock killers away for good" by making it easier for judges to sentence murderers to life terms. Schmidt also supported Ohio's concealed carry law. [11]
In 2004, she ran for the 14th District seat in the Ohio Senate to replace Senate President Doug White, who was retiring. After a recount, Schmidt ultimately lost by just twenty-two votes. [12]
Congressional Career
Schmidt launched her campaign for Congress in Montgomery on April 11. She ran on a conservative platform of reducing taxes and promoting family values. Schmidt's campaign literature noted her pro-life voting record, her opposition to gay marriage, her high ratings from the National Rifle Association, and that she "opposes an activist court system that acts against our conservative values."
Campaign literature also featured her endorsement by Phil Fulton, the pastor who fought the court ordered removal of tablets containing the Ten Commandments from the grounds of schools in Adams County.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, the official Republican Party body that helps candidates for the United States House of Representatives, announced on July 28 it was spending $265,000 for television ads in the Cincinnati market, covering the western part of the district, and $250,000 for ads in the Huntington, West Virginia, market, covering the eastern half.
Carl Forti told The Cincinnati Enquirer "we decided to bury [Paul Hacket]" after Hackett told USA Today, in a story published that morning, "I don't like the son-of-a-bitch that lives in the White House but I'd put my life on the line for him." Forti said the NRCC had "no concern that she will lose. She will not lose."
Schmidt won by a narrow margin, 3.5 %, the worst showing of any Republican in the district since 1974, but which made her the second Republican woman elected to Congress from Ohio in her own right (behind Deborah Pryce) and the first woman to represent southwestern Ohio in Congress.
Campaign Finance
The Cincinnati Enquirer ran a front page story on July 2 reporting on the candidates financial disclosure statements that revealed both were millionaires. Schmidt was worth between $1,700,000 and $6,800,000, most of her wealth in the form of a real estate company owned with her three siblings, RTJJ, LLC. Hackett was worth between $650,000 and $1,600,000. (These figures did not include the value of either's home. The Clermont County Auditor valued Schmidt's home on two-thirds of an acre at $138,510 and the Hamilton County Auditor valued Hackett's home on five acres at $552,800.) The paper noted the median household income in the district was $46,813.
Schmidt also used her own money in the campaign. She told The Cincinnati Post the week before the election she put $200,000 of her money in the campaign that she had planned to use to buy a condominium in Florida.
Schmidt won the endorsement of the National Rifle Association, which frustrated her opponent, a long-time NRA member. Schmidt also won the endorsements of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the Southern Ohio Board of Realtors, the Ohio Taxpayers Association, the Ohio Small Business PAC, the Ohio Farm Bureau, the National Homebuilders Association, and the Fraternal Order of Police Queen City Lodge #69.
Both parties claim victory
Following the election, many Democrats hailed the election as showing the weakness of Ohio's Republican party, which has been in control of Ohio state government for a decade, and public unhappiness with President Bush's policies. Hamilton County Democratic chairman Timothy Burke was delighted. "Paul was very critical of this president in a district that Bush carried easily last November, yet she barely hung on to win. There's a clear signal in that," he told The Cincinnati Post on election night. The Clermont County Democratic chairman, Dave Lane, told the Dayton Daily News "Here we are in the reddest of red districts and it was very, very close."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee claimed in a press release Hackett's strong showing meant trouble for Mike Dewine's reelection campaign in 2006, especially since his son Pat had lost the Republican primary for the seat. "If Ohio is a bellwether state for next year's midterm elections, things don't look too good for the Republicans", claimed the DSCC. Republicans said the election meant nothing of the sort. "There is no correlation between what happens in a special election, where turnout is very low and you have circumstances that just aren't comparable to an election that happens on an Election Day in an election year," Brian Nick of the National Republican Senatorial Committee told The Cincinnati Post.
The Columbus Dispatch referred to "the trauma of barely winning a Congressional district long dominated by Republicans" and quoted an anonymous source in the Republican party claiming "there is not a tougher environment in the country than Ohio right now. There is kind of a meltdown happening." Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report told the Dispatch "Ohio becomes the microcosm for the debate Democrats are trying to have nationally" and Democrats would argue in future campaigns "'See what happens when one party rules too long, see what happens with corruption and insider influence.'"
2006 elections
In 2006, the Democrats nominated Victoria Wells Wulsin to face Schmidt in her November 2006 bid for reelection. (See U.S. congressional elections in 2006) [13] The race was very close, as Schmidt held a 2,323 vote lead after an initial count. The count did not, however, include all of the district's provisional ballots. [14]
Positions and Views
In Congress, Schmidt sponsored non-binding resolutions that states hit by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita should adopt a uniform statewide building code (H. Con. Res. 285); that the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance were not an unconstitutional endorsement of religion (H. Res. 453); and supporting Gold Star Mothers (H. J. Res. 61). As of 2005, she was the original sponsor of one bill, H.R. 4180, a campaign finance reform. She co-sponsored bills to provide ultrasounds to pregnant mothers (H.R. 216); to require women having abortions be "fully informed regarding the pain experienced by their unborn child" (H.R. 356); to require the Food and Drug Administration withdraw its approval of the drug RU-486 because of safety concerns (H.R. 1079); the "District of Columbia Personal Protection Act", which would repeal District of Columbia law forbidding residents from owning guns (H.R. 1288); to ban human cloning (H.R. 1357); to repeal the excise tax on telephones (H.R. 1898); to forbid Federal courts from hearing cases on the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance (H.R. 2389); and to limit the use of eminent domain by the states, a reaction to the Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. New London (H.R. 4128).
Campaign Issues and Promises
- Energy and Environment Schmidt called for reducing America's dependence on foreign oil by increasing use of ethanol and drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which Hackett opposed. Schmidt told The Cincinnati Post
- Taxes and spending Schmidt supported the tax cuts championed by President George W. Bush. She called for additional changes to the Internal Revenue Code, such as adopting a flat tax and repealing the estate and capital gains taxes. The New York Times wrote, however, that Schmidt "offers no plans for closing the federal deficit other than trimming 'unnecessary pork' and bureaucratic inefficiency."
- Abortion Schmidt is so strongly pro-life that when she launched her candidacy, she was president of Right-to-Life of Greater Cincinnati. At the Chatfield College debate, Schmidt said Roe v. Wade was "a flawed law made by activist judges" and would "love to see" it reversed.
- Iraq War Schmidt declared on WCET-TV's Forum that "9/11 was a wakeup call. We lost our innocence" and praised the Bush foreign policy. At the Chatfield College debate on July 7, she said of Iraq and Saddam Hussein "We have toppled a terrorist regime, a terrorist madman who now sits in a prison cell. This country has gone to the ballot box and made its decision to become a democratic regime."

Most of the shrimp we eat here in Michigan comes from places like China and Ecuador, but Okemos?
"We're the only shrimp farm in Michigan, and really the only one like it in the U.S. and pretty much the world," says Russ Allen.
And Monday, Allen and his Okemos shrimp business, Seafood Systems Inc., received $200,000 from the agricultural segment of the 21st Century Jobs Fund. He plans to expand and renovate his company, ultimately creating more Michigan jobs.
"Ultimately, when we go to commercial production, we'd like to bring 1,000 to 1,500 new jobs to Michigan."
Earlier Monday, the high-tech division of the Jobs Fund announced an additional $35 million in available funding. Nearly $3 million of the money is going to mid-Michigan operations, including Michigan State University.
"It's all about providing a partnership between the State of Michigan and these innovative concepts that might help diversify Michigan's economic base," says Mitch Irwin, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture.
It's unknown how many jobs the new funds will bring to the area. But the money is just one part of the $2 billion initiative meant to bring economic growth back to the state.
"Michigan is a home for rampant entrepreneurialism," Irwin says.
Allen already produces 200 lbs. of shrimp per week. And with the cutting edge technology he already uses, Allen sees no limit to the progress he'll make with his share of the funding.
"With the numbers we produce here, we can produce shrimp in the state of Michigan cheaper than anywhere else in the world. We can compete with China even, and bring jobs back from China to Michigan."
That would be a swimming success.

Summer Tweed from Austermann has a special glimmer and tons of texture. Silky, solid-colored viscose wraps tightly around a core of cotton with pops of multicolor slubs peeking through. Summer Tweed knits up at a worsted gauge into a light, open fabric with tons of drape. Imagine Summer Tweed in shimmery tunics and tops for summer evenings. Made in Italy.

I bought this for a specific pattern because I liked the look of the model. This yarn has a crunchy texture that doesn't promise comfort, but it looks marvelous! Pleasant to knit as long as I remember to keep attention on tension!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi (my first post)
I'll be installing Ubuntu Feisty Fawn when it comes out and I have the
same modem (with Karoo).
Been trying out installing the eciadsl drivers (on a virtualised Edgy
install), but the configuration script doesn't seem to work.
Anyway, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's got the Fujitsu
FDX310 modem (with Karoo in particular) working with Ubuntu, or any
other install (especially Debian for obvious reasons).
