After multiple days of heavy rain, parts of Colorado were covered with floodwaters. The state is looking at a long road to recovery after days of flooding and thousands of evacuations.
Parts of the state had received 15 inches by Friday, Sept. 13, and the rain continued falling through the weekend.
The rain Saturday, Sept. 14, extended eastward from southeast Denver, where the National Weather Service said 1.73 inches of rain fell in less than 30 minutes.
On Saturday, Sept. 14, a Chinook helicopter piloted by the Colorado National Guard picked up 78 children who got stranded while on a field trip.
CNN iReporter Lawrence Webber shot this photos of rain and flooding near Brighton, Colo.
More than 2,100 people and more than 500 pets had been rescued by air and ground by late Sunday, Sept. 15, according to the National Guard.
After the weekend's bad weather, helicopters took to the skies again Monday, Sept. 16.
Colorado National Guardsmen respond to floods in Boulder County, Colo., working with local agencies to help evacuate people using high-clearance vehicles.
Gov. John Hickenlooper ended up directly helping with evacuations. A helicopter the governor was riding in to survey the damage stopped twice to pick up stranded groups spotted by people in the chopper.
In some cases, entire towns were cut off by floodwaters. National Guard troops using "high-profile" trucks to wade through water evacuated 550 people from the Boulder County town of Lyons, CNN affiliate KUSA reported.
This is one scene from Lyons, one of the towns the National Guard had to help evacuate.
Here, the National Guard is seen helping people evacuate from Jamestown, Colo.
Food and water ran low in some of the Colorado communities cut off by epic flooding, but well-organized residents held their own while awaiting rescue, officials said.
Three people walk through floodwaters.
Residents who were able to remain in their homes in some towns were ordered to limit water use and to not flush toilets to avoid sewer backups and other problems.
In Firestone, some residents had to rely on bottled water after two of the city's three water supply lines were destroyed in the flooding, a police department spokeswoman said.

The first confirmed deaths included a man and a woman, both 19, who were swept away after leaving their car in Boulder County. Authorities said the woman left the car first, and the man jumped out to try to save her. Authorities recovered both bodies. Another body was found in a collapsed home in Jamestown in the same county.
The flooding has washed out or damaged dozens of roads.

President Barack Obama declared an emergency for Boulder, Larimer and El Paso counties. The declaration allowed FEMA to bring in four rescue teams, the largest ever deployment in Colorado, officials said.
Obama also signed a major disaster declaration for Colorado and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in Boulder County.
Boulder County alone will need an estimated $150 million to repair 100 to 150 miles of roadway and 20 to 30 bridges, county transportation director George Gerstle told CNN. The repair bill will be "10 to 15 times our annual budget," he said.
Boulder Mayor Matthew Appelbaum told CNN's "New Day" that the city will be dealing with the aftermath of flooding for years to come. "There is a huge amount of damage and a huge amount of repair and a huge amount of cleanup around town that people will be dealing with for a long time," he said.
This is one of the last pictures Nina Embervine took before her family evacuated Lyons, Colo. It shows the bridge on Fourth Street getting pummeled by debris and water. Eventually it was ripped apart, taking part of the road and telephone poles with it.
Here's the scene in Loveland, Colo.
There are several ways people can donate to help victims. The American Red Cross is accepting donations at the Colorado chapter website or you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief.
The Salvation Army is helping feed first responders and evacuees and has ordered more than 2,000 flood cleanup kits. To help with their efforts, visit www.imsalvationarmy.org or call 800-SAL-ARMY (800-725-2769) and designate "Colorado Floods." You may also text GIVEHOPEIM to 80888 to donate $10 to The Salvation Army.

Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2 Summary
Left 4 Dead 2 Review
Left 4 Dead 2, the greatest cooperative game on Xbox Live? It just may be. (Xbox 360)
Latest news
Cast of Left 4 Dead invades Rebellion's Zombie Army Trilogy
As we thought might happen earlier this week, Rebellion has confirmed a crossover with Valve for its co-op zombie shooter Zombie Army Trilogy.
The cast of Left 4 Dead and L4D2 have been added as playable characters. You can find out exactly how that happened in a free tie-in comic, available here.
Valve removes censorship from Australia's Left 4 Dead 2
With the re-classification of Left 4 Dead 2 in Australia, Valve is clear to brutally murder censorship, spraying guts and red tape all over the walls.
A totally free patch is available to let Aussie gamers feel like big girls and boys, thanks to political pressure having secured an R18+ rating. Who knew gamers were older than 15?
Counter-Strike creator 'has seen Half-Life 3 artwork', also 'new Left 4 Dead'
Le Minh, former Valve developer and creator of Counter-Strike, has said he's seen concept artwork for the long-sought-after Half-Life 3, admitting it's "kind of public knowledge" Valve is working on it in secret.
He "did see something" belonging to the Half-Life universe, and will "go out on a limb" to say it's Half-Life 3. Minh also saw the "new Left 4 Dead" which "looks great" .
Turtle Rock discusses Evolve's co-op, lessons learned from Left 4 Dead
Developer Turtle Rock set the zombie genre ablaze when they introduced Left 4 Dead, a game that is unforgiving at its co-operative core. With their new sci-fi co-op Evolve they want to take it a step further.
Going off on your own in L4D meant certain doom, but there wasn't any real 'role' for the characters, explains Turtle. With Evolve they've made sure they're unique and not totally helpless.
Left 4 Dead's Turtle Rock reveal Evolve, a four-player co-op alien shooter
Turtle Rock's multiplayer co-op shooter Evolve has been revealed in the latest issue of Game Informer. It follows a similar theme as Left 4 Dead where four players band together against a common foe.
Except this time there are no infected but a rather imposing alien that evolves overtime becoming stronger and stronger. This alien is in fact a fifth player, so it's four vs. one.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Didn't Tobi apparently have some sort of "secret" that Itachi didn't know about?
Itachi wanted to fight Sasuke and die then and there, why risk taking damage or getting himself killed before.
they did not trust each other though and kept secrets regarding their powers, jutsus, etc, which also means that both Tobi and Itachi would have major disadvantages in a fight and both would take serious damage, it's more a question of who would be taken out first. and due to Itachi's illness probably Tobi would get the upper hand.
ps. Itachi is a proficient sharingan user who also happens to be an Uchiha AKA born with a sharingan. he obviously has better chances against Tobi than Naruto, Kakashi and Gai as he understands sharingan related techniques better. just saying that sometimes understanding your opponent can be far more important than having amazing firepower, not that he lacks in that department either.
He did but he failed .
He did try; and he failed.
itachi could'nt kill obito anyways.. what make you think he would stand a chance
itachi could have beaten obito, even obito himself said that "even itachi doesnt know everything about me, or else i would have been dead long ago" the only reason i can think of why itachi didnt do anything was because obito knows too much about madara and seems to posses some of madara power so itachi probably thought he doesnt stand a chance.
He didn't kill/fight him because he didn't need to. They teamed up and took out the Clan, and while Tobi had his own reasons for doing so, the bottom line is that Itachi had his own as well... to save Konoha.
He didn't kill him while he was in the Akatsuki simply because he didn't have a reason to. He wasn't aware of Tobi's moon-eye plan, so he had no motive, nor was he aware that he would try and harm Sasuke in the future.
They were both playing a chess match with each other when it came to Konoha. This is a match that Tobi won over Itachi in that regard. Itachi was a double agent for Konoha and Itachi didn't think Tobi knew that. Itachi true motives were to join the Akatsuki and gain information about them while at the same time try and protect Konoha. Tobi already explained this about Itachi. The only people Itachi thought knew that he was a double agent was Danzou, The 3rd Hokage and the elders. He didn't know that Tobi knew that much about him. This is why when Nagato asked Itachi if he knew more about Akatsuki true motives and Itachi replied saying he "thought" he know more then he(Nagato) did.
Itachi didn't attack Tobi for a huge obvious reason. It was because Itachi knew that Tobi was the true leader of Akatsuki and if he killed(hypothetically) Tobi then Itachi will have had to fight the entire Akatsuki by himself which is suicide. His goal was to gain information about Akatsuki and plan ahead. But of course Itachi had gotten very sick and his life was coming to an end so he used the rest of his life to try and save Sasuke which was his ultimate motives. He wanted to give Sasuke the MS and EMS so that he could obviously have the power to defeat Tobi if the time came. This would explain why he kept baiting Sasuke into learning about the MS and the EMS. Also he planned ahead that if Sasuke were to use his eyes vs Naruto then the crow will activate.

he was slowly dying and had nothign to lose.
and yet didnt even try to do this. all he planned ahead for was sasukes fate.
which was completely impossible without sasuke joining tobi and telling him the truth. if he gave him MS why didnt sasuke awaken it IMMEDIATELY like obito and kakashi? because itachi failed and sasuke will never unlock it unless tobi told him itachi was his most precious person. so no he didnt want to do that because its impossible. unless itachis an idiot
Someone is butt hurt... Read the manga. Tobi and Itachi states that Itachi was a double agent to protect Konoha. Itachi and Tobi states that he didn't want Tobi to gain Sasuke. Tobi and Itachi states he wanted to give Sasuke the MS and further on the EMS(this is why Itachi told Sasuke about the EMS in thier battle to bait Sasuke into taking his eyes after he died).
Itachi is not the type of man who kills people that are below his level.

On April 10, 2006, the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative announced the recipients of its 2005 Futures Grants, each in the amount of $50,000 or $75,000 to support interdisciplinary research on genomics and infectious disease. The 14 research projects that were awarded funding represent a wide range of approaches to the field, which was the subject of the third Futures Conference The Genomic Revolution: Implications for Treatment and Control of Infectious Disease, held last November in Irvine, Calif.
These competitive seed grants aim to fill a critical gap between research on bold new ideas and major federal funding programs, which do not typically provide grants in areas that are considered risky or unusual. The Futures grants allow researchers to start developing a line of inquiry by recruiting students and postdoctoral fellows, purchasing equipment, and acquiring preliminary data all of which can position the researchers to compete for larger awards from other public and private sources.
The award recipients and their grant research topics are (names and affiliations at the time the grants were awarded):

ATI Technologies has reportedly cancelled release of several new chipsets for Intel Corp.'s microprocessors scheduled for the second half of 2007 release. The reasons for cancellation are unknown, but they may be associated with necessity to ink a cross-licensing deal to obtain a permission to develop and sell chipsets for future Intel Quad Pumped Bus incarnation.
Reports from Taiwan-based media suggest that ATI has cancelled release of code-named RD700, RS700 and RC710 core-logic products for platforms supporting processors from Intel Corp. It is claimed that the chips were to be made using 65nm process technology at foundries of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC).
While there are no motives for cancellation indicated, several possible reasons may be associated with the fact that ATI will be a part of Advanced Micro Devices by the second half of 2007. Given that Intel Corp. usually asks for a separate license for every new speed-bin of its microprocessor system bus, AMD may not want to strike a cross-licensing deal with the chip giant. Another reason could be very unfavourable terms of license and absence of any support for the chipsets in terms of market penetration.
ATI, AMD and Intel did not comment on the news-story.

By Deb Courtner, Colorado Master GardenerSM, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver CountyDrought conditions and water rationing have left lawns throughout the metro area dotted with bare spots. These patches are not only weed magnets, but if large enough, they can cause soil erosion.
Despite relaxed watering restrictions, most of us still can't irrigate as often as we'd need to in order to establish sod, so it's time to look at other options. And drought-tolerant ground covers are among the best at adding color and texture, as well as reducing erosion.
They also can make your life easier. "Ground covers require less maintenance than turf overall because you don't have to mow them," says Carl Wilson, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension horticulturist in Denver. "But, you still have to weed them. And with some, you have to keep them in bounds with pruning."
The key consideration is to use the appropriate plant for a given situation, Wilson says. "Turf is the best plant for controlling soil erosion, followed by ground covers, then mulch," he explains. "Turf also tolerates foot traffic. So ground covers aren't a replacement for turf in many areas."
But when the growing gets tough for turf, ground covers offer an alternative for covering bare spots and slopes.
Homeowners can easily transplant these newcomers later once it becomes practical to grow new grass. Then again, homeowners may like the plants so well that, over time, they may replace larger areas of their lawn with ground covers.
Popular sun-loving perennials include:
Turkish speedwell (Veronica liwanensis). This fast-spreading beauty with round, glossy leaves is eye-catching even when not in bloom. But each spring, delicate periwinkle blue flowers form a dense carpet of color. "Turkish veronica is very adaptable to poor soils," Wilson says. This 1997 Plant Select winner grows about 2 inches tall and 18 inches wide.
Sun rose (Heliathemum nummularium). This short, bushy evergreen is a spring bloomer whose flowers resemble miniature fried eggs on threadlike stalks. The flowers have raised yellow centers surrounded by flat petals of white, pink, raspberry or red, depending on the variety chosen. This perennial will grow 4 to 6 inches tall and 15 to 18 inches wide.
White-flowered poppy mallow (Callihroe alceoides "Logan Calhoun"). Like its popular burgundy cousin (Callihroe involucrata), white-flowered poppy mallow is a showstopper when it cascades down a west- or south-facing slope.
Its goblet-shaped flowers, surrounded by deep-cut leaves, appear continuously from June through September. This versatile plant can be trained to climb fences or trellises, or can simply be planted in beds to meander gently among shrubs. It will grow 6 inches tall, and its trailing stems will reach 28 inches.
Greek yarrow (Achillea ageratifolia). Unlike its taller yarrow cousins, Greek yarrow produces a low-growing, dense evergreen mat. It blooms profusely in late spring with clusters of small brilliant white flowers with yellow-white centers. A slow-spreading perennial, it eventually will grow 4 inches tall and 18 inches wide.
Woolly thyme (Thymus pseudolanuginosus). Gardeners appreciate this ground cover for its soft gray-green mat rather than for its tiny, sporadic blooms. Because it tolerates moderate traffic, homeowners frequently use it between walkway pavers. This fast-spreading plant grows 1-2 inches tall and 18 inches wide.
Hardy yellow iceplant (Delosperma nubigenum). This eye-catching succulent boasts plump lime green leaves that turn reddish-purple in fall and winter. A late spring bloomer, it produces dazzling, fluorescent-yellow daisy-shaped flowers. The perennial tolerates hot sun and pavement heat but requires well-drained soil. A fast spreader, it grows 1-3 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide.
If you decide to replace turf areas with ground covers, Wilson recommends killing the turf with glyphosate (contained in Roundup and other brands). "Once the grass dies, the homeowner can dig through the grassy mulch and plant the ground covers," he explains. The grassy mulch will hold the soil in place, especially on slopes, while the ground covers get established. For more information, see Factsheet 7.234, "Xeriscaping: retrofit your yard."

The Art of Star Trek has been the first specialized reference book that featured and displayed in detail the production materials used in the Star Trek live production of all series and features up until the time of publishing. Hitherto, coverage of the subject matter was fragmented over a myriad of publications, such as a wide variety of magazines, not all of them necessarily Star Trek related. Heavily illustrated with depictions of the material in question, the book was, in its first edition, presented as (one of the first) high quality bound hardcover coffee-table books, format 30.2x23.4x2.6 cm, in a dust jacket. The quality was reflected in the production value of the book; high resolution full color pictures printed on heavy high gloss paper.
As one of the very first officially-licensed books in this coffee table format, collecting production material straight from the source, this book was bound to contain some inaccuracies and has received some scrutiny from, among others, Andrew Probert, whose work was also prominently featured in the book. He commented, "One example would be showing the Enterprise-D that I designed in its original proportions and the Enterprise with Gene's requested changes, whereby Gene asked me to LENGTHEN the engines and put the bridge on top from the center location. They have indicated that Gene wanted me to shorten the engines. That's one mistake. They indicated that the Ambassador-class two-page painting at the front of the book is an early version of the "D," which is wrong. There's mistake after mistake in that book, misquotes and so on. I get all sorts of credit for TMP design sketches I didn't do. If you don't see my name on it, I didn't do it. Just a few examples of an inability to write down what I'd indicated and not allowing me to correct it." [1]
Due to the inaccuracies in some of the captions and texts, some caution should be observed when consulting the book.
- From the book jacket
- From the public's first glimpse of the original starship Enterprise to the brave new worlds explored in Star Trek: Voyager, the neverending multimedia phenomenon that is Star Trek has treated generations of viewers to a dazzling barrage of unforgettable images of the future. Bizarre alien beings, breathtaking extraterrestrial landscapes, exotic costumes, state-of-the-art special effects, and remarkably convincing futuristic sets and props and equipment have brought Gene Roddenberry's inspiring vision to life before the public's awestruck eyes.
- The Art of Star Trek is a one-of-a-kind gallery of Star Trek artwork, as well as tribute to the many artists, designers, and technicians whose diverse talents and imagination created the distinctive look of the Star Trek universe. Every incarnation of Star Trek is explored: The Original Series, The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager, and the films - with the complete behind-the-scenes story of Star Trek's design history.
- With hundreds of full-color illustrations and photographs, many from private collections, readers will at last be able to linger on Star Trek's rich visual legacy and trace the evolution of and images from their initial conceptions to their final form on television and film screens. Like all great works of art, the many sights and visual surprises of Star Trek have been built from scratch through a combination of inspiration and painstaking effort.
- The Art of Star Trek covers the entire universe of Star Trek artwork and production design to reveal how, in all of its various forms, Star Trek has allowed us to look boldly into the future and see what no one has seen before. The Art of Star Trek is the art of pure imagination, the art of a bright, hopeful future, and the art of three remarkable decades on nonstop action and adventure. Lavishly illustrated, it is a book to be read and referred to time after time, as well as one that will become a cherished chronicle of Star Trek's first thirty years.

UW-L Chancellor: pay raises needed to retain qualified employees
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's state budget proposal gives the UW System a chance to consider pay increases for its employees.
The plan doesn't include any money for salary increases, but it does allow regents to consider a supplemental pay plan. That means the UW System could raise tuition and use that money to pay its employees more.
UW-L Chancellor Joe Gow says their employees haven't had a raise in 5 years which makes it harder to keep them. "Our people, we've documented, are paid 18% less than their peers at similar institutions so there's a danger that at some point they're going to say I'm going to go work elsewhere and we would have to find the money to make the pay adjustment in our own budget," said Chancellor Gow.
The governor's plan still has to make it through the legislature before any tuition increases can happen.

I LOVE your style! I wish I were that brave, but I'm trying. And I wish I could find all of those lovely things you do, it's impossible here. (I live in a tiny village in Sweden, so pardon (well thats french) if the language isn't that great).

The nerdy English student within me must comment on anonymous' obnoxiousness in regards to proper quoting style: by MLA standards you quote the author of the work, not the character who said it. For all intents and purposes the citation style is correct.
I think it's awesome that you have fondness for Shakespeare at such at young age, it will definitely benefit you later on.
I love your blog. i always find something interesting to read on it. :)
You have amazing fashion sense.

to those of you looking for boots, check an equestrian outfitter, or saddle supply store. May be a little on the pricey side and will take a while to break in, but quality and strength is assured!

The Filibuster
Selig and the owners finally had enough of McCourt and took action, but
what about the franchises that are still technically solvent but just
suck? Why hasn't the commish done something about the Pirates?
Ferndale, MI
Ahhhh yes… once again, the revolving doors of ineptitude bring us back to…
The Pirates.
why shouldn't they? In all of professional sports, one would have quite a
difficult time finding a more moribund team than the lowly Buccos.
While all of the big four US American sports thrive by having a healthy,
parity-laden cycle of teams going from the top of the ranks to the
bottom and everywhere in between, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been stuck
at bad. For 18, long, terrible, horrible, awful, green-pea-spew inducing years.
In a row.
So, indeed, Mr. Dan, you bring up an excellent question: How is it that MLB sees no issue intervening with financially strapped clubs like the current Dodgers or the late Expos de Montréal (pouring out some liquor for my boy, Youppi yo!) but meanwhile sits back and says nothing as the Pirates organization embarrasses itself year after year after year, alienating the five or so fans left in western Pennsylvania in doing so?
That's easy, Dan. One word:
The Pirates may have more issues than Lindsay Lohan on $5 Jaegerbomb night, but, when all is done, the Pirates still MAKE MONEY.
Haven't you noticed? To the suits picking each other's noses up in the luxury boxes, it's not about winning. It's not about getting better. It's not about keeping score or the waft of freshly roasted peanuts or the soothing effects of finely cut green grass on the old eyeballs.
It's about making bank.
And as long as they line their pockets with plenty of paper, MLB ain't gonna say jack.
Like my loquacious and oft contorted colleague, Mr. Krause recently pointed out, sometimes MLB gets it right. King Bud could not sit back and let one of the league's most storied franchises fail because of atrocious financial mismanagement. And other times, MLB gets it way wrong… like they did in intervening with the Florida Marlins (a very successful organization in regards to winning) and the way they chose to spend profit sharing funds trickling down from the top*.
But one thing is certain: MLB is a business. MLB is about being a profitable business. As much as romanticized baseball super-nerd-dorks like Mr. Krause and I would like to believe that a certain utopian joy for the game and its purity is at the core of Major League Baseball's business philosophy, the truth is: it ain't.
If it were, the Expos would still be alive. The Dodgers would have never left Brooklyn. And someone would have intervened in the gargantuan atrocity also known as the Pirates' front office.
Hate me. Fine. Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
*For an excellent read on just how wrong MLB was in their handling of the Marlins, check out this article from the Prince of New York.
**Have a topic you want to see us Filibuster? Want a
free pimp for your blog? How 'bout just peeling back the layers of Mr. Krause's feminine wardrobe?

I can't believe McCourt is actually fighting the takeover after what he's done to the Dodgers. He's a total crook! I hope Bud forces a sale and somebody good buys the team. Their fans deserve much better.
There are so many underlying reasons why this happened to McCourt, but MLB finally saw a magnificent display of stupidity and had to put the golden hammer to McCourt's private parts. Still not sure what sane reasoning got into his peanut brain to think that mortaging his Fox FSN package by getting a 10 year advance in his funding would keep his team above the surface?
Sure the $3 million dollars/yen, pecos might keep the life preserver on for a few seasons, but his thought process must have beenon the short term as in 5 years he would again be manning a sinking ship….Guess pride and ego have no partners when it comes to trying to save yourself from yourself within the MLB jungles.
Can I get a Tarazan yell?
Rays Renegade
Money is what it's all about. Fans feel sorry for some of these small market teams, but they are making money and not putting it back into making the club successfull.
'Minoring In Baseball'
Jane — Rumor has it Magic Johnson is in the running!
RR — AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA (does that translate?)
Mike — Indeed. Fans need to stop going to the games. That's the only way to show 'em who's boss.
Eh, I like the romanticized baseball super-nerd-dork take on things – one of the reasons you and Allen (and now Johanna) became a daily read for me. But I do think that a lot of MLB decisions are based as much on image as on money. The Dodgers aren't just losing money, the McCourts are creating a gross public spectacle. A perpetually losing team isn't bad for baseball's image. There have always been hard luck teams and when they finally do win they become some of the game's most treasured stories. But a team with funds so badly mismanaged that they have to publically take out a loan to cover payroll in spite of attendance many teams would kill for? That's even worse for the image than for the bottom line.
By the way, Steve Garvey is also supposedly putting together a team with financial backing in an effort to buy the Dodgers.

This is a very simple game…

CARY – Cary Park District voters might see an advisory question on April's ballot about the Chalet Hills Golf Course.
People who gathered petitions of residents saying they are against a proposed purchase of the foreclosed golf course by the park district now want voters to weigh in.
The petition drive is being led by Joanne Daubner, a resident who has been adamantly against the proposed purchase.
If Daubner and her volunteers gather enough signatures, "Shall the Cary Park District acquire the Chalet Hills Golf Course?" would appear on the April ballot as an advisory question.
Daubner is aiming for about 680 signatures, which is a little more than the required amount needed for the question to be placed on the ballot.
However, the group remains far from its goal because of the holidays and cold weather.
The deadline to file petitions for an advisory question is Monday, according to the McHenry County Clerk's Office.
Opponents say a purchase of Chalet Hills would take the golf course, which was foreclosed on, off the property-tax rolls, and the burden would be spread among other property owners in the area.
At a previous meeting, residents of the Homeowners Association of Chalet Ridge said they were favor of the park district buying the golf course.
Park district officials have said the Foxford Hills Golf Club, which the park district bought in 2004, has operated as an independent, self-supporting business. Since 2004, the golf club has brought in $1.8 million.
To learn more
For information about the petition drive, call Joanne Daubner at 847-516-8417.

Reviews for Grilled Chicken Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette
"This is our go-to summer salad! I use fresh nectarine slices, but you could really use any berry/stone fruit combo. Definitely a keeper!"
"This was so good!!! Looking forward to blueberries being in season again to make this! Even such a simple marinade for the chicken was so delicious!"
"Delicious! Very very tasty already request for again and again!"
"Delicious main dish salad that's perfect for warm, summer days. I've made this twice - once with the blueberries and oranges, and once with blueberries and strawberries in place of the oranges. Both were delicious and I've found that I have to double the recipe because my family enjoys it so much! Thanks for the great recipe!"
"This was a hit with my husband and 3 kids. A definite keeper! The only change I made was making my own blueberry sauce from hand-picked blueberries instead of using blueberry preserves. YUMMY!"
"My husband and I both loved this salad! His comment was "I could eat this once a week!"."
"This is the best salad I have ever made. I might switch the canned mandarin for fresh necatrines but other than it is fantastic!"

Above the Pit Box: Danny Stockman
June 20, 2014
Last season, No. 3 NASCAR Nationwide Series crew chief Danny Stockman felt his team could have had some better finishes at the three road course races on the schedule. His team recorded one top-10 with driver Austin Dillon, who went on to win the Series' championship later that year.
Stockman has younger brother Ty Dillon behind the wheel this season, who has two road course starts under his belt, to date. The two-time championship-winning crew chief is optimistic about his team's direction and approach as the 2014 schedule comes to the first of three road course races. Stockman took his team to Virginia International Raceway last month to test the five different road course configurations the southern-Virginia track has to offer. The test was beneficial and Stockman has taken an approach of "practice makes perfect" for his team and 22-year-old driver.
The 32-year-old, Winston-Salem, N.C.-native spoke about his approach for this weekend's race at Wisconsin's four-mile, 14-turn track.
You can follow Danny on Twitter, @Dstockman3
How do you approach a track like Road America?
Road courses are definitely a change of pace. The challenges are a lot different and we really focus on our race strategy more than anything. The idea is to pit the least amount of times possible and stay on the lead-lap.
How do you set up the car?
The car set up is tremendously different than what we run on a weekly basis turning left. There's a lot of front-end geometry changes and the front-end settings are different. We're trying to create as much traction as we can in the rear-end to add more bite. Overall, it's fun. You have to think about different things that you normally don't.
Do you like road course racing?
I grew up racing go-karts and working on go-karts, so it's something I've done a lot of my life. I really enjoy making a trip to the road courses three times per year.
What did you learn last season at Road America?
As a company, we struggled there last season. We built all new cars and made a ton of changes to our set up. We lightened our cars up and made them "road race" only cars. We made our engines a lot better.
What's your pit strategy this weekend?
Our pit strategy is, really, to pit the least amount of times possible. As far as the pit crew goes, it's completely backward with the fuel-fill being on the right side of the car instead of the left. But it's like any other week, we practice a lot and we should be just as fast as any other week. Our pit crew guys are world-class athletes, they have been practicing hard, and they're good at what they do.
Looking at the rest of the field, how do you stack up?
The No. 22 team and the No. 54 team usually has strong cars and talented drivers. We know what we are up against. I think if we can finish all the laps, and be there at the end, we'll have a successful day.

The wound did not immediately kill Hector Lopez Jr., but he was brain dead by the time he had been airlifted to a San Antonio hospital from the scene of the chase's conclusion — on Interstate 37, about six miles north of Three Rivers, officials said.
Authorities believe Lopez's erratic driving was caused by drugs and alcohol.
"We're still investigating why he did it," Live Oak County Sheriff Larry Busby said Monday. "We don't know why at this time.... He got out of prison about a year ago, and it's possible that might have had something to do with it."
The chase began about 2 a.m. Sunday when Live Oak County authorities received a relay call from San Patricio (near Mathis) of a northbound two-door Ranger pickup traveling erratically along I-37.
In all, Lopez is believed to have traveled through 30 miles of Live Oak County. But he spent only 11 of those miles being chased by authorities, reports show.
"He was going about 66 mph but was driving dangerously — crossing lanes and going over the shoulder of the road," the sheriff said. "Our deputy used his lights and siren to pull him over, but he refused to stop."
A second deputy joined the chase where I-37 meets Highway 72, but the driver still refused to pull over.
Additionally, a Three Rivers police officer joined the chase, placing spikes on I-37 in an attempt to deflate Lopez's tires.
"When his (pickup) passed over them, the tires deflated, and he came to a stop," Sheriff Busby said. "The guy's vehicle came to rest all over the road — in both the slow and fast lanes."
When an officer approached Lopez's vehicle, he saw the driver's head suddenly slump forward but could not hear a gunshot because it was apparently muffled by the (pickup), the sheriff said.
"When he got up to the locked (pickup), the guy was slumped over the steering wheel," the sheriff said. "He still seemed to be breathing, and the handgun was lying between his feet."
Lopez is believed to have shot himself with a .40-caliber Springfield, stolen from a store in San Antonio. A second .40-caliber handgun was also found in the pickup.

- The terrorists' terrorist: Vincent Browne's interview with Dominic McGlinchey

- Heskin, Ken
- Abstract
- Ken Heskin considers from a theoretical and concrete perspective the attitudes and motivations of terrorists through the medium of an unusual interview with an active terrorist, published in November 1983. The object is to combat some of the myths concerning the character of individual terrorists and to prevent discussion of the question from being seen as simply a succession of essentially inexplicable, dreadful deeds perpetrated by unseen evil forces. The interview, as explained by the author, reveals the complex forces which motivate a modern terrorist.

I have some recommendations from the Shattered Star guide, but I also don't want to step on any toes. Also, I don't feel like the traits necessarily indicate a strong connection to the campaign as much as they indicate a connection to Magnimar- so you can opt out of the campaign traits if you so choose.
|James Keegan
For Kua I would say the Serpent Runner trait and one of the bonuses it comes with would be a good choice and we can just rename it "Duskwarden Training" or something of that nature. Or Non-Traditional Native (Shoanti).
Yang would be a good fit for the Exchange Agent I think.
Auron might fit well with Ruin Raider, since he has the most material bent of the group so far.
For Sister Mara it's a little harder to figure the most useful trait; Ex-Sczarni may offer some interesting possibilities and Non-traditional native sounds like it would fit but I don't think she'd get much use from the bladed scarf or starknife bonuses.
|Wander Weir
Hi guys,
I was one of the players in James' Tatters of the King pbp (Hey Jam!) and he invited me to submit a character for the Shattered Star game. I'm thinking of a cleric of some sort, based out of Magnimar. I'll get to work on putting him together tonight.
If anyone has any suggestions, they're always welcome. I've got a bunch of ideas but nothing nailed down as yet.
|Sister Mara
Sister Mara reporting for duty. Sorry for the prolonged absence these past couple of weeks.
As far as traits go, I didn't see anything that really struck my fancy in the Shattered Star Players' Guide. I was thinking about taking Flame of the Dawnflower and Vagabond Child.
Haven't given much thought as to how to spend my treasure yet - will probably use some of it to purchase a masterwork scimitar.
And welcome aboard, Wander Weir! I played with you in Half-Porc's Master of the Fallen Fortress way back when. A cleric will be a great addition.
|Yangzhun Chen
Hey Wander Weir, great to have you along! I'm sure a whatever sort of cleric you make will be a great fit. James has warned us though that this adventure will be mostly dungeon crawl, so you may want to keep that in mind.
As far as Kua goes, I had been considering going full ranger with two weapon fighting and working toward Thunder and Fang. However, I didn't realize just how feat intensive the prerequisites were. I wouldn't be able to use it until 5th level! In PBP terms, that's like.. years.
Anyway, I'm still ping ponging some ideas around in my brain.
|Wander Weir
|James Keegan
Yeah, the previous ones back to Carrion Crown or so were a bit more fleshed out and I feel like the traits have less of a connection than in other campaigns. For instance, Carrion Crown had the various ways you met the professor, Serpent's Skull had the ports where you got on the ship, Curse of the Crimson Throne the various reasons you wanted what's-his-name dead, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help out.
|Wander Weir
|James Keegan
|Wander Weir
|Oren Tor
|Wander Weir
Angradd, who is a dwarven deity from the Dwarf companion book. I'm assuming, of course, that James will allow me to use that. If not I'll just go with Sarenrae and exchange the War domain to Glory.
By the way, I don't particularly like the Herolab character sheet layout...I'm just using it temporarily until I have time to reformat the whole thing.
|Wander Weir
Ha! Yeah, I couldn't get it as high as I'd originally intended but it's still pretty decent. If James isn't fond of me using the Dwarf companion book (all of which I got out of the SRD) I'll just rebuild Oren as a human cleric of Sarenrae and then his Charisma will be higher too.
I'm honestly happy either way, I just thought it'd be fun to play a cleric of a lesser-known god.
|James Keegan
|Sister Mara
I play a human cleric of Sarenrae in an Age of Worms PbP. The Glory domain has proven to be quite useful, both for the Touch of Glory boost to Charisma-based skill checks (particularly Diplomacy!) as well as for the +2 boost to the DC for undead to resist your channeled energy (it's like getting the Improved Channel feat for free).
|Yangzhun Chen
|James Keegan
Another note, with the loot from the Ossuary, Yang's going to do the following:
Purchase and scribe 9 1st level spells (9 x 35gp = 315gp)
Scribe 4 scrolls of 1st level spells (4 x 12.5 gp = 50gp)
Buy 1 vial antitoxin (50gp)
total 415gp, which leaves 33GP 7SP 5CP of his share
And please forgive my rudeness and for taking so long to welcome you aboard, Wander Weir!
|Yangzhun Chen
|James Keegan
It looks like Shifty (also a Tatters of the King alum) will be joining in as well. Question: are you guys okay with him bringing in a tiefling fighter or ranger? Tieflings are a bit more powerful than a typical core race (and yet they don't seem so much more powerful they would require a level penalty) so I want to get it cleared with you all first.
|Wander Weir
|Sister Mara
Actually if Shifty wanted to do a fighter type, I could go bow with Kua. That was my original intention with him to begin with but jelloarm wanted to do ranged.
Anyway, Kua is full on ranger now. I would also like to drop the skirmisher archetype if that's cool with you James.
Hi all,
Have slid on over to start the build and am set on a fighty. I had a look at a few builds and am now PRETTY MUCH sold on one... which will be a two-handed fighter type.
The character will not be a walking circus, but was keen on a tiefling, specifically the demon bloodline for its impulsive and brash tendencies.
I will have a build up in about 12 hours.
Cheers guys!

* HP Policy? Rolled or allocated?
In case - roll:1d10 ⇒ 8
* Equipment - because I have been 'caught short' before, I was considering a Silversheen weapon, however they are $$$'s, I am hoping that something dr/silver comes into play. If I am horribly wasting my money, please say so :) (ie no creatures requiring silver like, anywhere)
* Took the • SOUL SEER racial ability.
Hey Shifty, welcome aboard! James allowed us the option of either rolling for HP or taking half at second level.
James, since we seem to be pretty melee heavy, would you mind if I tweaked Kua to archery based? He was going to be spending his hard earned gold on a bow anyway. He wasn't happy when Tripe was nailing him with those flasks from out of reach.. Anyway, it wouldn't be a huge change. Just a feat swap or two.

That's fine by me.
No rush, Wander Weir.
Also just dropped Randall a PM to make sure he saw the discussion thread and we'll see if he has any changes to Auron.
|Auron Rurikski
Thanks for the pm. Great to have the old crew back. I'll take a look at Auron and Jhaik soon and would be thinking to change the feats and traits a little. Auron did not use combat expertise too much in the Gods mouth.
Auron would play a materialistic bent as suggested, just need to lookup at the guide first.
|'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni
Cool. I'll have it taken care of shortly. Follow up question; are we still playing with the alternate combat rules? Forward stance, rearward etc..
Hmm never read them, should I start quickly?
DMJK, no hints on whether silver weapons are 'required'?
|Warden of Doors
I don't want to spoil anything down the line, but if you need to know...
As far as the rules, I think I may just go back to the RAW. I'd like to figure out the best means of keeping combat quick with a minimum of mapping, but I'll have to think about it some more.
|'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni
Thanks for the spoiler.
I'd be just as happy with RAW if thats all the same, but as the newcomer I'll take what I'm given :)
I really shouldn't, but hey I will! I think I'll blow most of my starting money on a Silversheen (material) weapon. OK its basically a shockingly overpriced M/work, but hey when one cannot afford Mithril...
|'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni
Final oddball question:
The trait 'extremely fashionable' essentially means the character ahs to wear flash clothes and/or jewels. I could buy a necklace or something, but that seems naff.
Given her 'stage persona' I was wondering if:
100 gp - Musical Instrument
Source Core Rulebook
A masterwork instrument grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform checks involving its use.
Could be fluffed to a 150gp outfit that does both of the above?
notionally its the 'Hellion' fight costume, stuff worn by itself or in conjunction with her armour. I googles 'Female Wrestler WWE', but then I realised there was so little in those costumes youd be lucky to end up with 3sp of materials.
|James Keegan
|'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni
Yeah I did, but the trait is really about two-weapon fighters, and one specific armour. I decided Defender was the better option. Sadly there's no good 'gladiator' type trait.
On that note, good to roll!
|Auron Rurikski
I'm proposing some changes for Auron.
- adding an armoured kilt for my chainmail (20gp)
- purchasing a spring loaded wrist sheath (5gp)
- purchasing a dagger (1gp)
- purchasing a cold iron longsword with combat scabbard (31gp)
- adding a shield sconce to my heavy wooden shield (1gp)
- upgrading Jhaik's barding to masterwork studded leather (200gp)
- purchasing 2 CLW potions (100gp)
- purchasing an everburning torch (110gp)
- 6 vials of acid (60gp)
- a flask of ale (1sp)
swapping combat expertise for intimidating prowess
ruin raider (campaign trait)
dirty fighter (combat trait)
Welcome to Shifty and Wander Weir!
|'Hellion' Svetlana Irriseni
|James Keegan
If I wanted to put a rank in a map making skill, would it be craft map, or profession cartographer, or something else?
Either profession- cartographer or knowledge- geography, I'd say. I would lean on Profession, since it seems more likely to produce material goods.
|Auron Rurikski

Freedom New Mexico: Eric Butler
By Eric Butler: Freedom New Mexico
City and county administrations know all about needing a little extra dough. So, sure, when the federal government invited proposals for ways to spend stimulus money, grant writers in eastern New Mexico scrambled to get in line.
But while the creation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — a.k.a. the federal economic stimulus package — has made more funds available, it's not exactly been an easy process to access them.
"This is the most confusing process I've ever been associated with in all my years in government," said Clovis City Manager Joe Thomas, who's been with the city more than 35 years.
The act was signed into law by President Obama on Feb. 17, 2009, less than a month after he took office.
Although the stimulus bill was quickly created, that may only be part of the reason local governments are finding it difficult to navigate through the paperwork.
"I think part of that is the problem, but the people who are administering it really don't know what's going on," Thomas said. "You get different answers from people in the same office."
Thomas and the city of Clovis, however, have received assurances about receiving the largest local grant so far. That's an $830,000 grant to help repair the Hull Street overpass, which is estimated to cost around $8 million in all.
"There are a lot of areas where we've applied for, or are investigating the requirements and probably will be applying for (money), some related to law enforcement and some related to energy credit," Thomas said.
The catch phrase for the proposals most likely to be approved, according to local administrators, is "shovel-ready." Projects that can be started in the near future, in order to send extra money flowing into local economies, have been given priority.
So instead of large multi-million dollar proposals, many cities and counties are opting for smaller alternatives.
In Portales, $247,000 has been granted for the city to do landscaping in areas around the Roosevelt County Courthouse as well as on medians on Highway 70 heading out of the city.
"We've been awarded, but then we have to fill in a contract, then we have to go through a bunch of hoops and whistles before the money is released," Portales Public Works Director Tom Howell said.
"We've applied for a lot of stuff, but that's the only thing I've been notified about," he said. "I don't really know what the timeline is. The first round of awards went out already, but I understand there's going to be a second round."
Grant writers have been attending workshops in the state in order to navigate the complexities of asking for money. For instance, Curry County Assistant Manager Connie Harrison and city of Clovis grants coordinator Carole Moreno will be attending one in Albuquerque next week.
Whatever the obstacles, and despite the relatively small dent the awarded money might make in a large project, most are quite willing to do it.
Charlene Hardin, Roosevelt County manager, said a tentative $839,000 award will only cover about a mile of a 14-mile stretch on repairs on state Highway 88, which connects Portales with Arch, near the Texas border.
"It's in pretty poor shape; it has no shoulders and there's a lot of dairy truck traffic," Hardin said. "It needs lots of help. This wouldn't cover all of it, but it might give some residents hope."
City of Clovis: $830,000 – Hull Street Overpass construction
Curry County: $920,000 – Improvements to state Highway 209 (between Broadview and Grady)
City of Portales: $247,000 – Landscaping around courthouse and on Highway 70 medians
Roosevelt County: $839,000 – Improvements on state Highway 88 between Portales and Arch
City of Tucumcari: $500,000 – Street improvements for Second Street
Applications submitted or to-be submitted
City of Clovis: $154,000 – Upgrade for Computer Aided Dispatch System
$139,000 – Upgrade for street lights and solar-panels
Curry County: $582,000 – Funds for three full-time sheriff deputies (for three years each)
City of Portales: Upgrading wastewater treatment plant, amount of funds undetermined
Roosevelt County: Acquiring and transport of 41,000-square foot building for fairgrounds, amount of funds undetermined
City of Tucumcari: More funds for Main Street program
Quay County: Replacement of windows and boiler (through central air system) at Courthouse, amount of funds undetermined
Curry County: $2 million for improvements to county roads around Cannon Air Force Base and north of Clovis.
Village of Melrose: $500,000 for wastewater improvements.

New state police leader emerges from undercover
MIDDLESEX Theres a new Vermont State Police commander in town, and he brings plenty of experience with him to help fight crime in central Vermont.
Lt. Matthew Nally became the Middlesex station commander in December after former Lt. Paul White was promoted to captain of Troop A, overseeing the Middlesex, Williston and St. Albans barracks.
Nally, a native of upstate New York, has been in law enforcement for 24 years. The father of five who now lives in Cabot started his career as an officer in the Brattleboro Police Department in 1990 and joined the state police at the Rockingham barracks in 1998.
In 2002, Nally was assigned to special investigations, where he worked undercover on drug crimes in the southern part of the state and in the Northeast Kingdom for a total of six years. After that, Nally worked as a fire investigator for six years.
As station commander, Nally oversees the day-to-day operation of the barracks, making sure the troopers get what they need to do their jobs and that the barracks runs smoothly.
Besides keeping the barracks on track, Nally wants to take advantage of his new position to get to the heart of the investigations his troopers are conducting. In terms of crime, Nally said central Vermont is seeing a piece of all the pies with assaults, burglaries, property thefts and drug abuse, which usually leads to the property crimes. In addition, he said, Interstate 89 serves as a highway for contraband both into and out of the state.
Instead of looking at the broader picture, Id like to focus on case by case, Nally said. Something is making these defendants act the way they do, and Id just as soon get a snapshot of their life and see whats making them do what they do to maybe get to the root cause.
Coming from a background that includes undercover work, Nally said he has a different perspective to offer his troopers, showing them a way of looking at a case that they may not have considered.
(Undercover work) was a different experience than what normal uniform guys are used to, he said. It certainly opened my eyes to what goes on out there and what drives people to do what they do.
Nally said his job is made easier by the troopers he supervises and the way they handle their jobs.
A lot of the troops we have coming onto the job now are extremely intelligent, he said. They think outside of the box. They get stuff done. Id like to channel all that energy into closing each case. By closing (the case) youre going to get more customer satisfaction, which is the public, Vermonters.
White, a Worcester native, said he wanted to choose someone for the job who would be as deeply invested in the Barre-Montpelier area as he is. White didnt want an outsider who would commute to work, do the job and then leave the community to go back to his or her life elsewhere when the workday was done.
I wanted somebody who was going to be invested in the local community and involved in the local community, and (Nally) certainly fits that bill, White said.
White acknowledged that one factor against choosing Nally was that he had never supervised troopers at the road level and his strengths arent in highway safety. Even so, White said, the experience Nally does bring will be a benefit for the troopers and the area because the barracks will be better equipped to solve the burglary and assault cases.
He will be able to coach them on their investigations and show them different investigative techniques that they might not have been exposed to if they had a different leader, White said.

Pew Campus Steelcase Library expanded
Posted on September 11, 2013
As classes get underway, students on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus will notice the Steelcase Library has been expanded and now provides a collaborative space for students. The expansion takes over what were computer labs. They have been moved to the second floor and students will have continuous open access.
"Before the expansion, Steelcase Library offered good space for quiet study, but little opportunity for students to work in groups," said Julie Garrison, associate dean of Research and Instruction. "The expanded space is similar to the collaboration areas at the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons, with lots of movable tables, chairs and whiteboards where students can create their own spaces."
A Knowledge Market will have peer consultants in research and writing available Mondays-Thursdays, from 2-7 p.m. The addition also includes two presentation practice and one digital collaboration group rooms. The Learning Lab, used for library related classroom instruction, has also been expanded to accommodate groups of up to 47 students. That room, 114A, will be available as an open lab for students when classes are not scheduled. Workspace for library staff and faculty has also been renovated.
Jason Durham, operations manager of Pew Campus Libraries said "This was badly needed to provide students on the Pew Campus with a defined space for collaborative work. It also makes it possible to maintain the Steelcase Library reading room as a quiet study space."

PITTSBURGH, PA (October 26, 2007) – The Allegheny County Airport Authority has announced James R. Gill as Chief Financial Officer.
Gill returns to the Airport Authority from the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority where he has worked since January 2001. Prior to that, he was the Deputy Executive Director of Finance and Administration for the Allegheny County Department of Aviation/Airport Authority from 1997 to 2000. He began work at the airport in 1993.
"Jim brings to this post the essential experience in airport finance to effectively lead the Authority's financial planning into the future. He is extremely qualified and his past experience here is an important asset for the job," explained Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
Gill, a CPA, rejoins the Airport Authority after spending more than six years as the Deputy Airport Director and Chief Financial Officer for the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority. While Gill was at Raleigh, the Airport Authority achieved the highest credit rating of any medium hub airport. Additionally, under his guidance the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority implemented its PFC program, which resulted in more than $19 million in revenue, and the Airport Authority's first Enterprise Resource Planning System, which brought more than $3 million in savings.
Gill, a Pittsburgh native, holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees from Duquesne University. With 18 years of experience in finance, he is a member of the finance committees for professional airport associations including the Airport Council International-North America and the American Association of Airport Executives. He and his wife, Mary Beth, have five children.

McDonald's receives MAC Grant
The Elkins McDonald's, owned and operated by John and Jack Ebert, just received word that a MAC Grant winner is in our area.
MAC Grants are given out each year to teachers in grades five through eight. The MAC Grant program, an initiative sponsored by local McDonald's owner/operators, is designed to help teachers Make Activities Count for the students. The cash award is donated to help provide meaningful, hands-on activities to enhance the learning process for the students.
Matthew Ramsey, a seventh-grade teacher from Elkins Middle School is this year's recipient in Randolph County.
Ramsey was awarded $498 to purchase a Vernier graphing calculator to be used in his classrooms. This is a motion detector that can detect distance, speed and acceleration of objects including people. These probes will allow the motion of the students to be portrayed in a graph that displays on the calculator.
The detectors will allow the students to connect the data represented in the graph to real life data that they generate themselves.
McDonald's commends creativity and commitment to excellence in education. Because McDonald's Corp. receives hundreds of MAC Grant applications, the judging process is truly a challenge.
A committee of educators, business professionals and McDonald's representatives look for submissions that are "cream of the crop." McDonald's is proud to support the efforts made by our local educators. The Mac Grant maximum allowance is $500.
