The United States conducted the world's first nuclear explosive test, codenamed "Trinity," 67 years ago this month in the southern New Mexico desert. The atomic age was born.
The former Soviet Union conducted a test of its own nuclear device four years later, sparking an arms race that saw more than 2,000 nuclear explosive tests in the decades to follow.
The Trinity Test had an explosive yield of 10 kilotons (releasing an energy equivalent of 10,000 metric tons of dynamite). The test was literally an earthshaking feat in the fields of science and technology, but also a sobering moment for those involved. It ushered in nearly two decades of further atmospheric testing of nuclear devices.
"[It was] an awesome and foul display," Harvard Physicist and Trinity Test Director Kenneth Bainbridge said.
In the years since 1945, thinking about nuclear testing has evolved -- so much so that the United States has not tested a nuclear weapon for nearly 20 years.
Concerns about the effects of atmospheric testing grew in this country and elsewhere during the early years of the atomic age. Earlier this year, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of President Kennedy's historic speech at American University, where he called for the Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT) to ban nuclear explosive testing in the atmosphere, outer space and under water. The long series of U.S. and Soviet atmospheric tests, initiated with Trinity, ended with the LTBT's entry-into-force in 1963.
As an outgrowth of the LTBT, the United States and the former Soviet Union signed and later ratified the Threshold Test Ban Treaty (TTBT). It entered into force in December 11, 1990. The Treaty caps the nuclear yield of underground nuclear test explosions at 150 Kilotons (or 150,000 metric tons of dynamite).
The TTBT was a critical mutual step to ease tensions between the Cold War rivals. Just as importantly, it is also the first bilateral arms control treaty under which the United States and Soviet Union exchanged information to aid in the verification of treaty requirements on nuclear testing.
The United States has observed a self-imposed moratorium on all testing of its nuclear weapons that would involve a nuclear explosion since 1992, moreover, the United States also is committed to the ratification and swift entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). As President Obama said during the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit in March 2012, "my administration will continue to pursue ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty." The CTBT would create a legally binding prohibition on nuclear explosive tests for all its parties. The advancement of the U.S. stockpile stewardship program during the past eighteen years has given scientists the tools for the United States to maintain a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent in the absence of testing. Monitoring for nuclear explosions also has improved. Over 80 percent of the International Monitoring System stations (IMS) are now online. Combined with other verification tools, they make it extremely difficult for states to conduct explosive nuclear tests that escape detection.
At the June 2012 P5 Conference in Washington D.C., China, France, Great Britain and Russia joined the United States in stating that there are "no substitutes for legally binding obligations under the CTBT." As the United States and its partners no longer conduct explosive testing, many Cold War era sites such as the Nevada Test Site have been transformed to reflect the national security challenges of today. From 1951 to 1992, U.S. atmospheric and underground tests were primarily conducted at the Nevada Test Site just outside of Las Vegas. In 2010, the Nevada Test Site was renamed the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), to reflect the site' expanded mission and the fact that the United States abides by its nuclear explosive testing moratorium issued in 1992.
The United States recently briefed the other P5 States -- China, France, Great Britain and Russia -- on the new diverse functions at the Nevada site, including testing of equipment for nonproliferation and arms control uses. This is just one example of how we have moved beyond outdated Cold War thinking in pursuit of a world less reliant on nuclear explosive testing and nuclear weapons. All of the P5 nuclear states continue to observe their respective moratoria on nuclear testing; their work and cooperation will accelerate CTBT's entry into force.
For the United States, pursuing entry into force of the CTBT and a broader agenda of nuclear disarmament is not about just about policy. In Seoul, President Obama called the pursuit of a world without nuclear weapons a "moral obligation." He said it as the President and as the Commander-in-Chief, but then personalized the statement further, "Most of all, I say it as a father, who wants my two young daughters to grow up in a world where everything they know and love can't be instantly wiped out."

There's a quote in my mechanic's garage that reads;
"The problem with geting it done right the first time is that no one appreciates how difficult it was."
Fact is Trinity was of the "fat man" design that was dropped on Nagasaki, and "little boy" as such, would be today regarded as a "crude nuclear weapon". Never tested, never dropped out of an airplane before is was used to help end a war that had taken 50-70 million lives 2.5 years sonner that expected and saving at least 5 million lives among the Japanese and a million among American and allied armed forces by eliminating the need to forcibly invade the Japanese home islands.
(Based on US army casualty estimates)
Something for those involved in non-proliferation, keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapons capability and keeping the peace of nations intact, might want to consider the following regardless of what nation they call home;
Back in the day the US gov put a bunch of folks who's average age was 25 out in the back of beyond to build a city from scratch to design, build and deliver a weapon that no one knew would work, with only theories and probabilities to draw upon; and they got it done in 27 months, in almost total secrecy where no one in the entire production chain other than the principal scientists and engineeers involved actually knew what it was they were trying to construct..."the gadget"...and the whole program wasn't even let known to Harry Truman until he became President.
And when folks consider all these things in relative context to today's world, black market nuclear proliferators, working designs floating about, the ill intent of certain nations seeking to aquire the tools of mass destruction, the dictators that have them (as there are worse things than nukes for lethal effect among large populations), the status quo of mutually assured destruction as a deterrent policy manifest in international relations, a diplomatic cold war among the perm5 in the UN over what to do about everybody's worst nighmare incarnate in Syria...
The world again finds itself on the cusp of catastrophe of the likes that will be remembered for generations if folks don't get a grip on it right now and stop the bickering abot that hard thing you must all now take responsibility for, before another dictator repeats the process that made the Manhattan Engineer District become a necessity in the first place.
One would hope that having built the foundations for human extinction by building better and more efficiant was to achieve civilization's demise, Humanity would have inpetus to lear how to get along with each other and not let history repeat itself, or even come close to rhyming (hat tip to the honorable late Mark Twain for the caveat).
It's not like nations need further prove their common dysfunctionality by becoming witness to wholesale slaughter seeking "peace in our time" and failing to do the hard things to assure that for one and all.
Even if it means "militarizing" one's aproach to that problem in order to remove the capacity to make war from those who would wage it upon their own people or their neighbors.
What my granddad worked to achieve up on "the hill" was no less than to end humanity's thirst for waging war upon itself, by creating one of the most inhumane weapons ever created in human history, changing the very parameters of humanity's existance in the process.
In some respects it has created the conditions in which no sane government would contemplate going to war, but sanity is not universally found on the international stage, as becomes self evident in all its unfortunate manifestations.
The choice is your's as to what kind of world you will create for future generations yet unborn.
Can we get this one done right the first time?
Three times a UNSC veto does not a peaceful transition make, and other means to secure the peace are now required of the willing.
Ashim C. in India writes:
How I regret it ever happened and somebody could even think of a weapon as deadly as this, which led to Hiroshima and Nagasaki... But if US had not done it, some other country would have done it. But I am happy the bomb has been an effective deterrant. Since this deterrant is there, th existing arsenal of nuclear weapons should be shared under an international mechanism. US should start. Why not put to positive use what is a good resource.

atomic era ? Assad goes chemical and biological
Turkish sources say two generals were among the refugees in flight from Syria Saturday. One, Gen. Mustafa Sheikh said Assad's forces were moving chemical weapons across the country for possible use in a military retaliation for the killing of four top security officials. "They want to burn the country. The regime cannot fall without perpetrating a sea of blood,†he said.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Ashim,
As far as the world becoming a safer place to raise kids in if everyone has nuclear weapons...there's an old saying out here in the wild, wild, West;
"A man with a gun in his hand is bound to use it eventually."
And so I must discourage your premis on the grounds that the greater the numbers of weapons in the hands of ethical infants as well as responsible governments pretty well assures that nuclear weapons will be used again despite the best efforts of those seeking global disarmament.
The probabilities become problematic to the continuance of civilization as we know it should your theory become implemented.
I suppose in theory if everyone had missile defense that worked populations might sleep better, but it's a lot less expensive to simply create a muke -free planet, and get rid of the other forms of WMD's while humanity is at it.
@ WW; Given that the WMD's were moved before, or being moved when the top Syrian military leadership was blown to bits during a meeting (of which probability would suggest these WMD's were a subject of their discussion); it may be that they decided to use them one minute, and the next they were talking with Allah about it and he probably told them "you don't get to do that." Before he sent them strait to the Islamic version of Hell.
Now are their other genocidal idiots that will do Assad's bidding? Undoubtably...
Folks are caught in a grand catch-22...to intevene in order to secure WMD's would require by some estimates the kind of on-the- ground footprint found on the scale of Desert Storm (about 100,000 combat troops from various nations), which isn't even now waiting in the wings to act pre-emptively to prevent their release. And you have the quandry of whether you can prevent them from being used even if you do your best to secure them by force.
But waiting and hoping and reminding Assad of his "responsibilities" is allowing the region to be held hostage and pretty well flat assures one and all that they will be used at a time of Assad's choosing.
Russia ans China cannot be blind to the fact that their latest veto nixes any possibility of diplomacy removing Assad from power through any political transition prior to his forcible removal by the people of Syria, or with outside intervention being used.
Yet they vetoed this because both those governments fear the green light they'd be giving to their own people to rise up in protest against them, should they dare to take the side of the Syrian people and actively support their democratic aspirations.
Wheras the reality circumstance offers them in the aftermath of failing to take responsibility to secure the peace will most probably result in both those nation's peoples rising up and removing those governments should they find their government to be partially responsible for allowing WMD's to be used anywhere on this planet.
As I am sure it also would reflect badly on the US and the friends of Syria for not having pre-empted such an event, should Assad be allowed to use his WMD's.
Most would say it reflects badly on the entire international community for having allowed Assad to take things to this point in the first place without "all neccessary measures" being agreed upon unanimously in order to halt his crimes against his own people.

Isn't this a bit of a sham as long as Israel's stockpile of nuclear weapons is not being addressed?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Bryce in Cali.,
The sham you refer to is the reality nations exist with every day of the week.
If you are referring to "double standards" , I kind of doubt Israel has any nuclear weapons to declare or address, regardless of whether they maintain the urban myth of such capability or not.
See, you gotta ask yourself why would they need them when America would always have their back if seriously threatened, and for all intents and purposes has Israel covered under its treaty obligations in so far as they are for all practical purposes under our "nuclear umbrella" in extremis of war.
Besides, what would they do with one, nuke Hamas in the Gaza strip? Might as well nuke themselves given the close proxinity of their declared enemies.
Nuke Iran? I think everyone knows that if Iran were to ever try and nuke Israel, Amererica would simply nuke Iran (in triplicate) the very next day.
And then consider the military actions Israel has taken over the years and not even the Arab states are worried about whether Israel has nukes or not, because if they had them they probably would have already used them if it were in the realm of sound strategy in winning conflicts.
Being that nukes cost a pretty penny to build and maintain, why would anyone spend billions if you didn't need what you cannot use in the first place and remain civilized?
Anyway, just something for you to consider seeing as how sometimes the answer is easier to come by than one might think.
Ashim C. in India writes:
@ Eric,
Without nuclear arsenal, India & Pakistan three undeclared & one declared wars. Since both countries acquired nuclear weapons & delivery systems, India and Pakistan have not fought any full scale war. hencey my belief. If our threat perceptions are taken care off vis a vis both China and Pakistan by putting under international defence unbrella with or without nuclear and missile weapons systems with India sharing equally the joint command of that defence system with power that be, hopefully India and similarly placed countries anywhere would save hugely from defence budget, which can be diverted for purchasing technology for solution of peoples basic and other problems. This would help nuclear haves in export of technology driven products and services. This is my idea of positive use of nuclear weapons. Since idea of joint command system is implicit in this, chances of misuse would be much less, which, I agree, is probable when joint commmand systen is not there. Defense spending of countries like India is bleeding them white. Imagine a situation, where an internationally sponsorec is allowed to have millitary base in Indian Kashmir, India will get rid of problem of proxy war in Kashmir.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Ashim,
I hear what you are saying and understand why you come to the conclusion you do, but I also know just how hard my government worked to "stop the car in time" back in late 2001-early 2002 (when I wrote the following to my government...among a whole lot of other things in a very long letter that was for all intents a "citizen's NIE (national inteligence estimte)" covering a wide spectrum of issues confronting humanity, that this governmment was doing it's best to deal with and was looking to get completely out of control.
With me, I offer no complaint without solution attached, hope you can envision the great "what if?" involved.
"As for Pakistan and India, rather than just asking them to get it together, and stand down, there may be the need for the U.S. to consider other options, to prevent the Asian subcontinent from becoming uninhabitable.
In my opinion, nuclear war is the ultimate terrorist act.
If these two nations cannot see the way to peace, then we just have to convince them, if need be, to prevent the loss of life and ecosystem, that cannot be replaced. If that worst case scenario occurs, the results of nuclear war having
been studied, I don't need to remind any one of the possible irreversible environmental damage, loss of life, etc. Just add to that a few Chernobyls on top, in the case of this war, considering the nuclear power plants in the area.
If they choose war, we must I believe, if we have the time and capacity to stop it, act in a considered and concrete way to prevent holocaust. In the fact that the timing of this situation stinks, I have to wonder if it smells of Al-Quaida, the resulting evidence of the groups responsible for the attacks in India, and their known support by both Pakistan and the Taliban suggests to me a connection. Done to help bin Ladin escape? Pakistan helps the U.S., Pakistan is targeted, via India.
Despite the reliance on prophesy and questionable psychic resources, bin Ladin's not to be underestimated, he knows how to play a situation for all it's worth, I think it's evident to most Afghans at this point, that as a "guest" he broke every rule, including wrecking the host's dwelling. He may believe that widening the conflict will serve his ends, in the short term at least, I think it has. Until the Pak intelligence service is totally purged of all individuals supporting terrorism, we still will have serious problems down the road as well.
India's not much better in some regards, if they have acted so wisely in Kashmir, why the conflict? M. Gandhi taught them nothing?
There's only one thing they can do with Kashmir to end this once and for all, that's to turn it into a "co-national park" with internationally (interim) monitored local rule. They either learn to share, or lose it forever, as the case may be if war happens.
I hope that if the situation is not resolved by dialog, they'll end up thanking the U.S. in the long run, for stepping in to stop it. By whatever conventional military and diplomatic means available.
We've been accused of playing world cop, as a nation. If you ask any officer on any street in the U.S. what his/her least favorite call to get is and they'll more than likely say, "Domestic disputes". This is the only politically correct way I can think to describe the current world situation. If we must play that role, they need to understand that there's a new sheriff in town, determined to prevent domestic violence.
This goes as well for the Mideast, the Korean, and other long standing conflicts.
To "protect and serve humanity, and ensure the preservation of civilization, of all cultures, and ways of tradition that an individual or nation has the inalienable right to choose for themselves as they see fit, so long as it harms no other individual's, or nation's ability to do so."
With this as our philosophy, as policy, the "undiscovered country" may become reality. This is not a role that should be played unilaterally, as it is essentially all nation's task."

@ Ashim,
I forgot to add a couple thoughts for your's and the general readership's consideration;
Why is it that governments must scare the hell out of their population's and each other before "cooler heads" prevail?
I must herby take note that their just isn't a "Betty Ford clinic" for dictators and their addictions to power nor institutionalized standards for declaring them "unfit to serve" due to phycological dysfunctionality on any number of levels of manifestation.
What worse is when the international response does all the right things, tries every diplomatic approach, renders all kinds of aid, tries to reason with the insane and failing that cannot reach consensus on even a basic political approach and renders international mechanisms impotent in as much as the UNSC is looking about as effective as the old "League of Nations" was in stopping the slaughter in the Ukraine during the winter-spring of 32-33 when aprox 7 million died in less than a year at the hands of Stalin.
You'd think folks would have learned their lessons from history by now...
Well judging by Secretary Clinton's recent remarks, she's kind of wondering the same thing if they have or not?...so I gotta comend her instigating this conversation in international fora...'bought past due to have it as it is...
The reason America should be the one to instigate some kind of global understanding to prevent little Hitlers from achiving their potential for harm in their quest to commit suicide by government...our's as it generally turns out to be historicly..., but who ya gonna call? the "Ghost Busters"?
I mean footing of civilization is uncertain as the world stage is getting a bit slippery with slime while the solutions to our common problems seems to be riding on the back of a snail in their speedy delivery to populations in harm's way...
This is not the time to simply treat the symtoms, when "chemo-therapy" is the dictator's preferred choice in dealing with "external aggressors" of which he considers his own population to be controlled by in their seeking to topple Assad from power.
Seems to me the man is trying to manufacture an excuse to use them.
And that's just a sure-fire way to commit suicide by government, when one really stops and thinks about it.

Repeat Offenders Charged
Two Jamestown residents were taken into custody on cocaine possession charges following the execution of a search warrant Tuesday morning.
Jamestown police charged Angel Pacheco, 38, and Gloria Pacheco, 33, both of Water Street, with felony third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Narcotics investigators with the Jamestown Police Department, along with the city SWAT Team and State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team, executed the warrant shortly before 6 a.m. following a months-long investigation, Capt. Robert Samuelson said.
"This was an ongoing investigation that involved cocaine and the sale of cocaine," said Samuelson, who added there were children inside the residence at the time of the arrests.
Investigators found quantities of cocaine and marijuana as well as cash in their search.
Angel and Gloria Pacheco were arraigned in Jamestown City Court on Tuesday afternoon and committed to Chautauqua County Jail without bail. Both are scheduled to return to court Friday, a court clerk said.
In November, both were charged with second-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a class D felony, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully growing marijuana. Police found the subjects to be in possession of more than 400 marijuana plants, 2 pounds of dried marijuana and a quantity of cash during a massive search that resulted in the arrest of seven people.
In November 2011 Angel Pacheco was charged with drug possession following a large detail by police to check parolees and probationers. Police allegedly found the city resident to be in possession of marijuana as well as another controlled substance.
Anyone who may have information on the illegal sales of narcotics is asked to contact the Jamestown Police Department's anonymous tip line at 483-8477. All calls will be kept confidential.

One of the most trustworthy and professional seed banks in today's industry, here at Seedsman, we have over a decade of experience in selling quality products at a very reasonable price.
Our initial concept was to help expert breeders package, market and sell their cannabis seeds. We are not - and have never claimed to be - breeders ourselves, but we do work very closely with our suppliers in order to maximise the exposure of their high quality inbred, hybrid and landrace cannabis strains.
Our cannabis seeds have come from pioneering breeders, some who prefer to remain nameless and others who are known worldwide for the quality of their breeding. Sacred Seeds and Sam the Skunkman are our most famous suppliers. The huge breeding programme helped to create seminal marihuana strains such as Skunk #1 and Original Haze.
As well as mass hybrid cannabis strains with mass market appeal, we are also very keen to maintain high quality landrace strains, as we see these as the fundamental genetics in cannabis evolution.
In 2007, we launched the Seedsman Feminised cannabis seeds range, which was put together from strains created by breeders we had befriended in previous years. We have kept the number of strains to a minimum so that we can maintain the highest quality possible. Each strain offers a unique taste, and importantly, growth characteristics which display each strain's individual genetic make-up.
In 2011, we introduced our Autoflowering Feminised strains which, like all cannabis seeds under the Seedsman brand, offer great quality at a very reasonable price.

HTC, one of the world's biggest makers of smartphones, on Friday said that the International Trade Commission (ITC) made a ruling, which claimed that it had infringed two of Apple's patents. At the same time, the judge dismissed allegations of infringements of eight other patents by HTC.
HTC was originally accused of violation of ten Apple patents. An ITC judge ruled, in an initial determination, that HTC violated only two. Since Apple did not publicly specified the ten patents that HTC allegedly infringed, it is impossible to say which two of them were considered to be violated by the ITC judge. HTC disagreed that it had violated even the two and said it would continue to defend itself in court.
"We are confident we have a strong case for the ITC appeals process and are fully prepared to defend ourselves using all means possible," said Grace Lei, general counsel at HTC, reports Reuters news-agency.
Apple sued HTC back in early 2010. Back then it was largely believed that the former wanted to slowdown sales of HTC's Google Android-based devices. After this, Apple accused Samsung Electronics over infringement of its patents.
It is largely believed that Apple is attacking Google Android platform in an attempt to sustain sales of highly-profitable iOS based devices like iPad (iPod touch) or iPhone.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

State Announces Available
Funding for Hydrogen Technology Demonstration Projects
Connie Cullen (NYPA)
Tom Collins
518-862-1090, ext. 3250
printer-friendly version
September 2, 2004
The New York State Energy
Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the New York
Power Authority (NYPA) today announced that $1.5 million is being
made available in funding for hydrogen technology demonstration
projects. NYSERDA and NYPA will seek proposals for hydrogen
technology demonstration projects in the areas of hydrogen
production, storage, distribution, and utilization.
"New York is at the
forefront of advancing hydrogen technology, and we are
strategically positioned to play a leadership role in the nation's
transition to a Hydrogen Economy," said Peter R. Smith, President
of NYSERDA. "By investing in and embracing emerging technology,
such as fuel cells and other hydrogen related technologies, we are
creating economic development opportunities here in New York,
while helping to address issues and concerns we face with respect
to energy security, global climate change, and improving our air
Louis P. Ciminelli,
Chairman of the New York Power Authority said, "Under the
leadership of Governor George E. Pataki, New York State is
vigorously working to bring the benefits of the hydrogen economy
to the people of New York State. Advancing new technologies to
exploit the potential of hydrogen as an energy resource offers
opportunities for economic growth, improved environmental quality
and enhanced energy independence."
Earlier this year, NYSERDA,
NYPA, and the Long Island Power Authority announced $750,000 in
funding to assist the State in creating a "Hydrogen Roadmap",
developing hydrogen education and outreach programs, reviewing
hydrogen codes and standards, and initiating targeted hydrogen
research and development in New York. Working with business,
industry, and academic leaders, the roadmap is helping to identify
the steps the State should take to systematically put a hydrogen
infrastructure in place, by considering options and setting
targets for the development, investment, and commercialization of
hydrogen initiatives. It will also serve to educate the public
about hydrogen-related energy.
"These demonstration
projects will build on the investment we made in creating the
hydrogen roadmap," said Smith. "Our demand for energy is expected
to increase significantly over the next several decades, and
hydrogen technology can play an important part of meeting New
York's objectives for improved fuel diversity, reliability, energy
efficiency, and environmental quality."
"The new funding will
continue to foster the Empire State's leadership in advanced energy
technology and support the Governor's efforts to chart a sound
course for New York's hydrogen future," Ciminelli added.
Hydrogen is versatile in
terms of its ability to be produced from fossil fuels, nuclear
power, or renewable resources, and has the potential to reduce the
State's and nation's dependence on imported oil, enhance energy
security, and reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse
The primary challenge to
using more hydrogen in our energy systems is the cost of producing,
storing, and transporting it. The current round of funding being
made available will seek demonstration projects to address one or
more of these challenges such as, producing hydrogen from renewable
energy sources like solar and biomass, deploying end use
technologies like hydrogen-fueled vehicles and fuel cells,
developing a fueling infrastructure, and exploring transportation
and delivery options for hydrogen.
In addition to the State's
efforts and investment in hydrogen, New York has also received
federal dollars to help move hydrogen technology forward. NYSERDA
and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) teamed up in a
proposal to the federal Department of Energy that has led to RIT
being named as one of four new Hydrogen Technology Learning Centers
in the country. The Center will serve to educate students, potential
end-users, local officials and the public about the vision of
hydrogen economy, hydrogen technologies and applications, the safe
use of hydrogen as an energy carrier, and the challenges to
achieving a hydrogen economy.
To find out more about
funding for hydrogen technology demonstration projects (PON 889),
proposal requirements, and how and where to submit proposals, please

Proposals are due October 12, 2004.

i'm mary kari lynn. i'm twenty three and i love tea and cake.
i spend most of the days making espresso. my tastes in all brewed drinks are pretty simple. i'm not a snob of any sort. but i like doing latte art and fine-tuning my steaming technique. i don't really want much more out of life.
my next endeavor is to get a really nice potted camellia and create simple, happy teas. when they are good, i hope to open a little tea shop, where i will also sell my pastries, and probably books.
when not making or drinking beverages, i'm taking photos of local bands and musicians at their gigs, writing and recording nerdy hip hop songs, watching korean soap operas, or playing videogames. =)

Side Cinema was first opened in the late 1970s by Amber Films to show radical and independent film, but closed in the 1980s. Now it is headquarters to outsider programming of radical, independent and historically important films and other media events, through Cineside, Tyneside Radical Film Festival, A-Side and Other side. We show a truly independent programme of inspirational and inspired films as cheaply as possible. We hope you like our cosy venue, which we like to think of as a haven (asylum?) from the cultural homogeneity delivered from on high. We're membership led and if you have suggestions or even time to spare we welcome everyone's input.
we're thinking over the possibility of organizing a big event with participation from 5 countries, in 5 months, like one country a month or just mix them all together, dont know. we're still aplying for some supports in order to pay for trips n all so it would never happen before january. we'd be very happy in inviting you along, and maybe if interested of course you could organize some contacts from other artists/groups from scotland for us, or even organize between yourselves. also checking out posible local supports for arts interchange could be nice.
Hello from The Dayton Circus. I'm not quite sure you are the person this message should go to but you were first on the member list so I figure if nothing else you can pass this info on.
My name is Maggie Ottoson and I belong to an emerging group in Dayton Ohio called The Dayton Circus Creative Collective. We are made up of mostly artists, some creative types and visionaries whom are basically trying to do what you guys at the Forest have achieved. The reason I'm contacting you is that you are a group whose values and interests are very similar to ours and I think we should have an open dialogue.
Right now we have a crew of about 70 people. We've had two benefit shows the first of which raised $2,000 the second I'm not sure because it was yesterday actually. We also participated in a one night downtown Dayton event that happens twice a year showcasing urban galleries and living spaces. That night we manned an information both and had a performing art showcase all night. Later in the Summer we plan to do our second large showcase of local artists called The Sideshow. The Sideshow is our way of giving artists who never presented before an outlet.
Our goal is to have a building for community art space to work, present, and live but ultimately we are so much more than that. We want to create a Dayton that attracts and retains artists and forward thinkers. After all quality of life is not just how much money you make it's also how strong your community is.
I know of a few other groups in the states that also share these goals and values and will be getting in touch with them as well. I think it would be great to form a network of groups. We can help one another with tips and advice and maybe down the road have folks from one group visit the other. Who knows the possibilities are limitless. I hope you agree.

Synergy is made up of a vibrant community of like-minded people, putting together not only some of the most forward-thinking club nights in the UK, but also operating the Synergy Centre in South London - designed to reach out on a more local level and engage with diverse, disadvantaged communities.
The Synergy Centre secured a three year lease on an ex-warehouse in South London and undertook extensive renovations to make it fit for purpose, including installing a sprung wooden dance floor, building a sound insulating wall, installing a recording studio and repainting the entire interior of the building. Thanks to the hard work of its volunteers The Synergy Centre is now a thriving venue, offering a variety of fully equipped spaces for workshops, conferences, parties and other events
a community space equipped with locally recycled computers running free, open source software. We provide a framework, resources and support for self-directed learning, arts and creativity. Taking part is totally free, and anyone can walk in and contribute.
The Super Dimension Fortress is a networked community of free software
authors, teachers, librarians, students, researchers, hobbyists, computer
enthusiasts, the aural and visually impaired. It is operated as a federally
recognised non-profit 501(c)(7) and is supported by its members.
Our mission is to provide remotely accessible computing facilities for
the advancement of public education, cultural enrichment, scientific
research and recreation. Members can interact electronically with each
other regardless of their location using passive or interactive forums.
Further purposes include the recreational exchange of information
concerning the Liberal and Fine Arts.
The deadline for submissions for SDF Music Compilation Volume V is
December 31st, 2007. This compilation is an open genre project in
which the artists help distribute the CD.
The concept is very simple:
1. You submit an original song or spoken word piece of approximately 7
minutes or less. Each artist gets a page in a full color booklet.
2. You can either pay $100 and get 25 CDs or pay nothing and get 0 CDs.
So you get 25 CDs for $100. Not only does this help fund the project,
but you have the potential to make money for yourself. We recommend
you sell the CD for $6 which will get you your $100 back as well as
make you $50. And since the compilation features bands the world over,
the CD gets distributed world wide.

"We have similar initiatives in the Hungarian Green movement.
For example now a group of young activist from Our environment started to work on a community place in the heart of Budapest.
Originally it's going to be a community café, where you could by only ethically produced food from local farmers, and coffee from Fair Trade producers.
We've got an old building in the 7th district from local government, and now we've started to renovate it. We think in Autumn we could open it.
The place will not only be a café, but a community place, where you can orginaise lectures, workshop, or demonstration, etc."

There's not a lot Jason Roper would change about this past Friday night.
Aside from unpleasant weather conditions, the Harrisburg High School football coach felt his Cure For Cancer game against West Frankfort, where game worn jerseys had the names of cancer survivor and victims names on the back was a rousing success.
In all, Roper said proceeds extended 2,500 dollars and expects all the money to be given locally.
"I think it went really well," Roper said Monday. "It was very touching for a lot people and very honoring for those who fought cancer and for those who lost their battle.
It was good for our community and good for our kids to be a part of it, even though the weather was not all that great, I still feel like we had a good crowd and hopefully its something we can continue to do."
Roper's original expectations were to have 104 jerseys made to be worn by all three levels of football players. Numbers exceeded that to the point where Roper had to have 117 jerseys made up. Those ended up being worn by cheerleaders and members of the coaching staff.
Roper is confident even more jerseys could have been bought and made and said after an initial trial run, he can envision doing more in years to come.
"We're going to give that back to a cancer fund in some form or fashion," he said. "We have a lot of people are battling cancer and it's hard to pick out one single person and leave someone out. We don't want to do that. I think the Jerry Kill Cancer Fund excites me because I'm pretty sure that money stays here locally."
However, Roper is quick to point out, raising the money had little to do with the overall message.
"It was more about the opportunity to honor those in our community who have battled cancer and won the fight or have it in reemission or have lost someone to the disease, I think was a good way to honor those people.
"It's a situation where the more people we can honor, the better. We had to cover the cost of the jersey. Regardless of how much money we raised, we're not doing this to get into the pockets of community members, but to honor those who have battled and fought this disease."

Proclamation signals Bicentennial Celebration Weekend open
BROCTON – The Town of Portland will be abuzz with activity this weekend as the Bicentennial Celebration festivities got under way Friday afternoon.
Town Supervisor Dan Schrantz, who made an official proclamation to open the celebration Friday, thanked Committee Chairman Dave Travis and the entire committee of volunteers Wednesday at the Portland Town Council meeting for their efforts in making the celebration a success.
Schrantz and Travis remind everyone that all activities will be held either at the Brocton Legion, or at Brocton Central School this year, deviating from the usual location of Community Park where the Brocton/Portland Community Festival is usually held. They also remind everyone that there will be no parking on the legion grounds with the exception of the Alumni Reunion dinner and dance on Saturday night and emergency or handicap instances, and that those attending the weekend activities should plan to park at the school or directly across from the legion where shuttle service will be available all weekend.
Travis also noted that the originally scheduled communitywide picnic slated for July 28 will be rescheduled so that more community members will be available to attend. Details regarding the post-celebration community picnic will be announced at a later date.
Town Councilman and Brad Anderson Recognition Committee Chairman Jerry Boltz reported with regret to the council Wednesday that this year's Grand Marshal of Sunday's Grand Parade, Brad Anderson will be unable to attend the weekend celebration. Due to a recent surgery, Anderson will be recuperating at home and will not be able to attend the Bicentennial, or his own class reunion which he is faithful to return to Brocton for each year. Members of the Recognition Committee are slated to ride the float in place of Anderson, who is doing well and back to drawing following his recent surgery.
The Recognition Committee will be on hand all weekend with Marmaduke items for sale, and Committee Member and Councilman Al Valentin encourages all residents, young and old to view the artist's "marquet," or small replica of the proposed monument depicting Brad and Marmaduke as it will be on full display at the Legion all weekend long.
With the Bicentennial Celebration in full swing, Valentin also reported to the council that historical displays at the Historical Museum will be available for view Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and special Bicentennial displays will be set up at Brocton Central School all weekend in honor of the town's 200th birthday celebration.
Museum hours will be extended for an additional season August 3 through September 29 from noon until 4 p.m. as Bicentennial activities have interrupted the regular schedule slightly, according to Valentin.
The community is invited and welcomed to take part in the numerous free and family friendly activities happening in Brocton all weekend long. For specific details on the celebration, please visit portlandbicentennial.org.

About the Author: Luke Forgerson serves as DipNote's Managing Editor.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at last week's premiere of "Inside the State Department," a film the Secretary called a tribute to the people who work for the State Department and an opportunity to tell the stories of the men and women who serve at America's diplomatic posts around the world. The National Geographic Channel will broadcast the film on Monday, November 8, 2010, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.
Over the last week, several of our colleagues shared their stories directly with us, telling us how American diplomats are working to enhance U.S. security through the New START Treaty, observing the election of the first parliamentary government in Central Asia, commemorating the 20th anniversary of German unification, partnering with the Ethiopian government to fight HIV/AIDS, and responding to the cholera outbreak in Haiti.
We read about many examples of Americans conducting diplomacy both through face-to-face interactions and through the click of a mouse.
In Washington, the State Department hosted the U.S.-India "People to People" conference, and U.S. and Jordanian officials signed a Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact to invest in upgrading Jordan's water supply network. In Morocco, Assistant Secretary Jose Fernandez found opportunities to support entrepreneurs in the Middle East and North Africa. And, in Pakistan, government officials and NGO partners launched the "Women in Energy" conference to address energy conservation, energy efficiency and solar power.
The United States helped expand Internet access to seven universities in Afghanistan. Alec Ross addressed how the United States and Mexico are using technology to enable local communities in Juarez play a greater role in combating violence, and Assistant Secretary Arturo Valenzuela is connecting to people throughout the Western Hemisphere online by holding a digital town hall on November 3. He is currently seeking your questions via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
At the United Nations, Secretary Clinton addressed the role women play in peace and security, and she and Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre published a joint op-ed to mark the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.
Following her remarks at the United Nations, Secretary Clinton departed for Asia and the Pacific. Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell previewed the trip and highlighted U.S. engagement in the region, while our Art in Embassies colleagues highlighted an American artist whose work can be seen throughout East Asia.
Secretary Clinton began her travel with a stop in Hawaii, where she gave a policy address to the East-West Center and met with Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara. She also traveled to Guam, where she met with U.S. Armed Forces at Andersen Air Force Base and thanked the service members for their dedication and sacrifice.
Secretary Clinton then returned to Vietnam, where she met with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem and addressed the East Asia Summit. The Secretary will continue her travel with stops to China, Cambodia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Australia. You can follow her trip on DipNote and www.state.gov.
Finally, Assistant Secretary Esther Brimmer took a moment to commemorate 60 years of "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF." We hope all of our DipNote readers enjoy a happy and safe Halloween today!

FEAR FACTORY Brings The Industrialist To North American Venues
- Details
- Published on Saturday, 13 April 2013 10:19
- Written by DJ Skully
FEAR FACTORY will embark on their first full headlining tour in support of 2012's conceptual mega-album The Industrialist. Performances begin next week, with the tour set to visit 38 cities throughout the US and Canada. The tour represents the first live dates by the band on American soil in nearly a year. The World Industrialist tour will feature support from Hate Eternal and Kobra And The Lotus.
Speaking with Full Metal Jackie, vocalist Burton C. Bell describes The Industrialist as, "a very deliberate album and one that came about very naturally to us. There is something so tight about the album. Focus is the one thing that is on this record that doesn't really appear on any of our other records. The focus of the music, the sounds, the aggression and the concept. Everything had its purpose and we knew exactly what we were doing and what we had to do."
The Industrialist wraps itself around a tale written by vocalist Burton C. Bell. While the "story" was spelt out more expansively in the deluxe book edition of the album (which also featured two additional songs), the plot is rooted both in forward-thinking science fiction and contemporary events. Prior to its June 5, 2012 release, excitement was already building for the album – the second from the reunited nucleus of Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares. "There isn't a record that I'm looking forward to more than The Industrialist," said Revolver editor Brandon Geist. "North America is chompin' at the bit to get an ear full of new Fear Factory," added Sirius/XM Metal Director Jose Mangin. "Recharger," the album's lead single premiered on April 24 and within 24 hours had over 100,000 listens.
Produced by Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly), and mixed by Greg Reely (Paradise Lost/Machine Head), The Industrialist features additional tracking by Logan Mader (Gojira/Divine Heresy) and artwork by Anthony Clarkson (Devin Townsend). It is FEAR FACTORY at its most confident and passionate; the band bringing every sonic weapon in its arsenal to the fore. Revisiting and refining the sweeping melodies and unforgettable songwriting that will forever distinguish FEAR FACTORY from all others, the sound and creative storyline of The Industrialist immediately carved itself a spot on the short list of Best Metal Albums of 2012. The album debuted on the Billboard Top 40 for its initial release week. The record maintained the Top position on CMJ's Hard Rock chart for three consecutive weeks. It was a resident of the Top 10 for eight weeks and ended 2012 on their Top Year chart at position seven.
The World Industrialist Tour will find FEAR FACTORY performing fan favorites plus select songs from The Industrialist and 2010's Mechanize. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster and all venue box offices

Discussing the song's lyrical inspiration, vocalist/guitarist Dave Sanchez says, "'From The Cradle To The Grave' is about America's first serial killer, H.H. Holmes. In the late 1800s, in Chicago, Holmes built a hotel specifically with murder in mind. It included doors that opened up to brick walls, staircases that lead to nowhere, and one-way rooms that once you entered, you never came out. He was a religious man and firmly believed that since he was born, the Devil was at his side. That being said, bang your head."
Leon comments, "I'm completely honored to be a part of such a well-oiled machine and to have the opportunity to play with these dudes is a dream come true! Not only is HAVOK one of my favorite new heavy metal bands out in the scene, but the guys in the band are a few of the best dudes I know! You can definitely look forward to us kickin' lots of ass together this year, and for many years to come."
HAVOK expect to complete all work on their new record in the coming weeks. Album information and special pre-order details will be announced shortly.

Mammoth Anthology Out TODAY!
In honor of its release today, Revolver Magazine is hosting a stream of TOXIC HOLOCAUST's From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction in its entirety! The monolithic 22-track anthology compiles over a decade's worth of TOXIC HOLOCAUST rarities into one maniacal compilation of hostile bliss. Amassing the band's many contributions to various comps and vinyl-only splits with the likes of Municipal Waste, Midnight and others, alongside demo versions of timeless TOXIC classics, From The Ashes Of Nuclear Destruction is a historic romp through the history of one of today's most revered punk metal deviants.
Said Stereokiller of the offering, "If I was a diehard thrash fan, I'd have this album framed on my wall, another copy spinning on the record player, and a third copy in my arms, while I'm clutching it close and waiting for the inevitable apocalypse that TOXIC HOLOCAUST is preaching so fiercely." Adds Metal Temple, "This historic look at the many facets of the band is the perfect introduction for those not initiated with TOXIC HOLOCAUST yet. There is example after example … that shows whyTOXIC HOLOCAUST is the clear leader of the modern day thrash movement. They capture the essence, attitude and vibe of the legendary bands that created one of the most important genres of metal."

Guys (and gals)- it has struck me in the last few days just how many people out there really hate Paul! Amidst all the good and great reviews
of NEW, there can be found all over the internet evidence that not everyone loves him like we do....here are some examples, lifted from BBC Radio 2's site,
when they announced they would be playing in a few minutes a new track from the album (it was Alligator)
"Never been his greatest fan, this new stuff has done nothing to change that.
Voice is going too, if it was ever really "there".
Fair play to him for what he's acheived, but please, no more.........."
"Why did God take John and George and leave us with Ringo and Paul????"
"Macca is loathsome"
"Yet another R2 homage to a false deity. The sucking up you are all doing is embarrassing"
So, what do we all think? What is up with these people?

In Years Past
100 Years Ago
In 1913, Earl H. Hill was once more in control of the Hill Piano School and the piano warehouse and rooms on the top floor of the Abrahamson-Bigelow building. He made good his promise to purchase the personal property and considerable other property belonging to the old Hill Piano Company. Some of the sheet music he said he would take but he did not care to take the pianos at the appraised valuation. The lease of the rooms, while of great value to Hill if he intended to continue his piano school, was of less value to any other person. Hill spent $5,000 in fitting up the rooms for the piano school and piano warerooms. The school room was decorated at an expense of over $1,000. There were signs which cost substantial sums of money that would of course be valueless to any person other than Mr. Hill.
The most disastrous fire in the history of Union City, Pa., Saturday night totally wiped out the plant of the Shreve Chair Company. All that was standing of what was the largest wood seat chair plant in the world, with a capacity of 6,000 chairs daily, was the heavy cement block walled storage warehouse built a year ago, about 150 feet west of the main building. The loss was estimated at $400,000 with insurance in 25 companies of nearly $200,000. More than 300 men were thrown out of employment. Crossed electric wires, it was believed, caused the fire. The Erie Railroad Co., with the main line between New York and Chicago, running on a high embankment about 30 feet from the building, had all telegraph and telephone lines destroyed and the ties in the roadbed damaged. The Union Mutual Telephone Co. had through lines between Erie and Corry burned out. Bell lines asked aid of the Erie fire department but the fire burned so rapidly that no hope of saving the factory was entertained after the first hour.
75 Years Ago
In 1938, with large throngs lining the streets for the excitement, the Jamestown Automobile Dealers' Association staged a thrilling demonstration of the danger presented by defective automotive equipment at West Third and Cherry streets the previous evening during the parade of wrecked autos, featuring the local observance of National Used Car Exchange week. The fake accident at the busy downtown corner was the high spot of the program marking the efforts of Jamestown dealers and manufacturers to cooperate in the nationwide program to stimulate business. Headed by the American Legion fife, drum and bugle corps, the old automobiles were lined up on West Third Street and proceeded east on Third Street to Cherry where the well-planned collision was staged. Tow trucks, decorated with flaming red flares, then swung out of line, picked up the damaged machines and towed then to a gully adjacent to the Rosen Wrecking Company to be burned.
About 1,000 persons nearly filled the Jamestown High School auditorium for the sixth annual minstrel show, presented by the Willard District Men's Club. Harry Nyquist, director of the presentation, presided as master of ceremonies in his usual clever style and the performance was enlivened by the jokes and antics of six endmen. Public officials of Jamestown and the county were the butt of many of the jokes and three soloists added to a show, one of the best of its kind to be presented in Jamestown in recent years. The audience was kept in almost continual laughter by such jokes as "You want to get a job on the sheriff's force so that you can go to California to see Lucille Ball." and Councilman Jones wanting "gas for an operation."
25 Years Ago
In 1988, nine little Border Collie pups, huddled close to their mother at the Falconer SPCA, would be ready for a new home in three weeks. The mother, who had already been spoken for, had many fooled for awhile when the dog catcher thought she was a male. As she got bigger, though, it was soon discovered she was just the opposite.
A two-story storage barn was extensively damaged in a blaze that occurred at 675 Fairmount Ave. the previous evening. According to Celoron Fire Chief Ron Hasson: "When we got to the scene the fire was raging and severe damage was already done. No one was injured." The cause of the blaze was still under investigation by the Chautauqua County Fire Investigation Team and no estimate on dollar damage had been reported. The barn was owned by Carl Vullo and Don Gaeta.

Topic: Help Needed with simple RoR website transfer
I'm trying to help a family friend of mine move her website from a hosting provider that is no longer going to be offering her services to a new hosting provider. The previous provider designed a pretty simply Ruby on Rails website for her, and has provided me with what he says is all I need to transfer the site to the new hosting provider (i.e. GitHub repository of files and database file). Unfortunately, while I'm pretty computer and web-saavy, I've never worked with Ruby or Ruby on Rails before and have no idea what to do. Is there anyone here that might be able to assist me? Alternatively, I could probably pay someone a little to just do it for me. Either way, any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Black Lake Sturgeon Shivaree returns
BLACK LAKE – A group dedicated to protecting Black Lake's sturgeon is looking to revive a celebration that once drew hundreds of people.
The Black Lake Sturgeon Shivaree starts Friday and continues through Saturday as a "soft launch" of sorts, Sturgeon For Tomorrow's Black Lake Chapter President Brenda Archambo said. She and other organizers hope this year's is a small step to revitalizing the event. Proceeds will fund the sturgeon hatchery, research, habitat restoration and outreach programs, according to the event website.
"It's a gathering place to talk sturgeon," Archambo said. "Our emphasis is to keep the event centered around the sturgeon, and the work that's being done to rehabilitate the sturgeon that affords us the opportunity to have a fishery."
The event kicks off Friday, when fishers can register for the sturgeon season at the Department of Natural Resources on M-211 from 2-8 p.m., Archambo said. Some time after sundown, Jimmie Mitchell, Little River Band of Odawa Indians Director of Natural Resources, will lead a candle-lit drum ceremony to mark the opening of the lake sturgeon season, Archambo said.
"He'll explain to us what sturgeon means to the tribes, and explain to us why they do what they're doing," she said.
Along with the rest of the Shivaree events, the ceremony will take place on the ice near where Zolner Road, on Black Lake's northwestern shore, Archambo said.
For entertainment, there will be live music in the entertainment tent Friday and Saturday nights starting at 8 p.m., Archambo said. The North Star Figure Skating Club will put on a laser light figure skating exhibition at 6:30 p.m. Saturday if organizers can get an ice rink set up. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Natureology owner Maureen Stein will have games for kids.
The Shivaree dates back to 1961 as a wintertime ice carnival, complete with fishing contests, snowmobile races and a Sturgeon King and Queen competition, Archambo said. It once drew hundreds of people to the area and its businesses. This year's reboot is set to include a few of the traditional events along with some new ones.
Among the latter is a competition of sorts called the Poker Run. Those who register by 11 a.m. Saturday get five chips to be redeemed at participating businesses in Cheboygan, Indian River, Onaway and Topinabee, according to game rules. Players can buy up to three additional cards, and the best hand wins four-fifths of the pot.
This game highlights one of the reasons Sturgeon for Tomorrow wants to bring the Shivaree back to its former glory, Archambo said.
"It's about the sturgeon, but it's also really to help the businesses, the restaurants and hotels, and the retail businesses," she said. "It's to bring people to the area in the winter time and to showcase northern Michigan in the winter time."
In a nod to the Shivaree's past, the Black Lake Association is sponsoring a fishing contest, where the heaviest registered sturgeon, as well as the heaviest northern pike, perch, muskellunge and walleye wins the prize, Archambo said. The registration deadline is 10 a.m. Saturday, and winners will be announced starting at 7:30 p.m. that day. Anyone with questions should call the association at 619-9146.
The Shivaree is sponsored by numerous local businesses and individuals, and Sturgeon for Tomorrow is looking for more, Archambo said. Volunteers are needed as well. Anyone interested can contact her at 231-625-2776.
More information on the Shivaree can be found at www.sturgeonfortomorrow.org/shivaree.

With the holiday season in full swing, many cat owners may be wondering how to stop their felines from going after their Christmas trees once they set them up inside. According to PetMD.com, cats are inherently curious creatures and therefore bringing a tree indoors may stir up a reaction from a kitty.
The site recommends several ways to deter cats from interacting with the tree in a negative way. Using fragrant natural scents around the tree may stop the behavior. Placing orange peels around the tree stand or applying citrus oils to the base of the tree may also keep cats away. Some natural oils are toxic to cats, so ask your veterinarian if you have questions.
Owners can also consider obstacles to prohibit cats from getting to the tree. The room with the tree can be gated or the door can be kept closed, although persistent kitties will often get through these by jumping over or hiding until someone opens the door. A barricade - such as a childs playpen - can be set up right around the tree or owners can wrap tin foil around the base of the tree to act as a deterrent.
For owners who know their cat will get to the tree no matter what, it may be best to do damage control. When picking out a tree stand, try to find one that has a covered water reservoir to prevent the cat from drinking the tree water and to avoid spills should the cat play with the water. Letting the cat explore the tree when it's first brought in can also ease some of its curiosity. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that pet owners should be sure to unplug their trees at night and keep lighting and electrical cords tied up so that their pets don't choke or suffer electrical burns. The tree should be securely attached to the wall or other sturdy surface to avoid falling over in the event the cat jumps on the tree. If an accident does occur, bring the animal to the veterinarian health clinic immediately.

Reflections on Accessibility 2012
"Reflections on Accessibility" is a video showing a snapshot of the College's progress in making the the campus accessible. Produced by the Accessibility Committee, it features three students (Patrick Comparin '12, Claire Forest '13,and Jen Brooks '15) and staff. It provides background information that cumulates with the inclusion of strategy 3.B.5 in the Strategic Plan of 2005, "Strengthen programs to recruit, retain, and provide access and essential services for students with disabilities," and shows our progress in fulfilling this strategy. For comparison purposes, clips from the 2007 video, Accessible Grinnell 2007 made two of our students, Leah Krandel '09 and Amanda Gotera '09. Both completed work and work yet to do on our campus is featured. The Accessibility Committee hopes that this video serves as a catalyst for further discussion and action in making our campus more friendly accessibly.
Accessible Grinnell 2007
This video was created by Leah Krandel '09 and Amanda Gotera '09 to show the state of accessibility on the Grinnell College Campus in 2007. The students wearing bike helmets moved about campus in a manual wheelchair.

I just got back from a 5 night stay in the hospital.
I was on life support.
Apparently, I have Asthma,Bronchitis and Pneumonia at once.
I wonder if there is any tea to help open my airways. or speed in my recovery.
entropyembrace wrote:Caffeine is a bronchodialtor, so any real tea should open your airways a bit, so drink what you like and hopefully you will feel better soon
There are a couple of cautions I can think of...if your Dr prescribed theophylline as a bronchodialator for you to take thats a primary metabolite of caffeine and you could be increasing your dose a lot without realizing it. Also some antibiotics can alter caffeine metabolism. So it might be worth checking with the Dr before binge drinking tea.
Chip wrote:Ouch, so sorry to hear that!!! Please take good care of yourself!
And if the doc allows it, I now recommend Japanese greens. But only if your doctor says yes. I swear there is something magical in those bright green steamed leaves.

Turns out its staph pneumonia. I also apparently have/had a blood clot in my lungs.
I'm gonna be down for weeks.
This isn't good.

While Winthrop is known in the winter for its great cross-country skiing network, in the summer the miles of trail turn into mountain biking joy. Longer rides offer access to the higher alpine and stunning panoramic views, while others twist and turn, winding through the valley, wooded areas and streams.
Winthrop is a great camp location if you're looking for a cross-country or all-mountain experience, or even some introductory freeride instruction in the mornings followed by some fun pedaling in the afternoons. In Winthrop you'll find fast flowing singletrack, swooping corners, fun climbs and descents, and some rooted and rocky sections too.
We'll run our morning skill development sessions on the field just across the road from Methow Valley Cycle and Sport, and then head out to a variety of different trails for our afternoon instructional rides. These will include Sun Mountain, Bear Mountain, Buck Mountain, and the Rendezvous Loop as well.
Winthrop is a beautiful northwest summer spot, and the hospitality is second to none. We look forward to seeing you there.
