Former forester, firefighter shares knowledge of fire towers
As the Pequot Lakes district forester, Keith Simar fought 400-500 wildfires during his career. Consequently, he knows quite a bit about fire towers, their history and their use in finding fires and fighting them.
Now retired, Simar explained Wednesday, April 10, at the Crosslake Chautauqua program, that fire towers' use was caused by early logging of the white pine.
Simar said that logging and forestry in Minnesota dates back to the 1830s. The first military sawmill came to Minnesota in 1819 at Fort Snelling, and the first commercial sawmill came in 1839.
He said the white pine was the ideal wood to work with for building.
"Chicago was built with Michigan and Wisconsin white pine," he said.
Furthermore, demand for white pine grew downriver on the Mississippi as St. Louis and other cities grew.
"Some said it would take 100 years to log Minnesota white pine," Simar said. They were, however, underestimating the industry. The resource rapidly diminished.
Logging changed the landscape. It left behind areas of cut over land and slash (debris from logging).
In 1827 the Homestead Act was passed, allowing people to claim land. Scandinavians found they knew how to farm the land, but first it needed to be cleared.
The easiest way to clear the land, Simar said, was to burn it.
"Maybe it would stay on their land, maybe not," he said of the fires.
In 1849, there was a serious drought, Simar said. It was the year of the Hinckley fire, in which more than 400 people died, and that was certainly not the only one.
In 1911, legislation passed that required burn permits, managed by the division of forestry of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Funding from that legislation allowed the construction of a few fire towers.
Simar said it was the great challenge of 26 foresters to enforce fire permits at a time when people had long been burning without them.
Simar called it, "a whole culture change the first foresters were trying to instigate."
Towers were used to detect fires when they were still small and controlled. In some instances, fire towers were simply large trees with footholds put on the trunk.
Actual towers, though, allowed foresters to pinpoint the location of fires with triangulation. Compasses were mounted in the towers. Foresters could site down the compass, and report the direction of the fire.
If two foresters reported the direction of the fire from the tower, the fire location could be pinpointed on a map by drawing a line in the reported direction from each tower. Wherever those lines intersected was the site of the fire.
Simar said even when he joined the DNR as a forester in 1971, there was still a problem with the public not reporting fires.
For some time, towers were located roughly every 20 miles. Simar named area towers, including one that is still functional in Nimrod, as well as a tower on Birch Lake in Hackensack, a tower south of Emily and a tower near Brainerd.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built many of the towers. The CCC had the money, the manpower and the military expertise to build the towers, Simar said.
He said the reason fire towers were used less and less was mainly because of the use of airplanes. With an airplane, the DNR could fly right to the area of smoke and could follow an arsonist if the situation presented itself.
However, Simar said, it took a lot of planes to match the constant vigilance of a man in a tower.
Eventually, some fire towers weren't deemed as necessary as others, and some were seen as liabilities. Today, Simar said, 85-90 percent of fires are called in on cell phones by people out and about.
Simar also addressed the Pequot Lakes fire tower. He said it's fortunate that it's so close to town, as the location discourages vandalism, and he said that standing fire towers are a great education tool.
He also said he was grateful for the group who restored access to the fire tower, but added that the general tendency is still to close down fire towers.

When we left pass Jerod Mayo in the draft, what player did we chose?
When we left pass Jerod Mayo in the draft, what player did we chose?
2 are second string guys and one is a DE
Kiwi to DE for good solves half of our problem there.
Then we need 3 new starters at LB and at least 2 new ones at OL.
Then we are ready for another SB run.
go Blue!!
No one remembers who came in second.
I would say kiwi will be back and be moved back to DE position. He is best when rushing the passer. The other two will be gone. Boley has been essentially a bust as a FA pick. Blackburn has a great heart but is not athletic or skillful enough to be the MLB.
Kiwi returns to DL.
Blackburn Gone
Boley cut. Williams is ready to be a starter.

The Cracker Barrel: New York, New York
Every sixty years or so I get around to visiting New York.
The first time was back in 1953. The second time was last week.
Both times I happened to visit several interesting places, and cross paths with celebrities. And both times I was glad to get back home.
In '53 my dad, a salesman, earned a trip to Game Three of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, and knowing I was whoppingly in love with the game of baseball, he took me along. We flew from Chicago in a four-motor TWA Constellation and had a fine adventure. The trip was sponsored by the Gillette Company, which put us up in a fancy hotel, provided tickets to the game, and paid for limousine service to and from the Dodgers' home in Ebbets Field.
The day before the game we made it a point to see the sights. We walked to the south end of Central Park and marveled at the beauty, took an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building and peered out over the city, rode a ferry out to the Statue of Liberty and climbed up inside to her crown, ate lunch in a Horn and Hardart cafeteria, where you put coins in a slot to open the glass doors behind which sat your soup, sandwich, or dessert of choice, and wandered around Manhattan all the way down to Wall Street. By the end of the day I could barely stand upright.
On game day we were chauffeured to Ebbets Field in a limousine along with half a dozen other salesmen from around the country. Our driver was a Puerto Rican fellow named Ramon who pulled us up to a side entrance of the park and said he was certain the Yankees would win. As it turned out, he was wrong about that, and the Dodgers triumphed, though they later lost the Series. But after the game, just as I'd settled down on the jump seat for the ride back to the hotel, he clapped me on the shoulder and told me to go tap on the rear window of the limo in front of ours. "It's Humphrey Bogart!" he said. "See if he'll say hello!"
A little embarrassed, I walked to the adjacent limo and rapped on the glass. The window opened, revealing a gruff-looking man with kindly eyes. It was definitely Humphrey Bogart. "Whaddya want, kid?" he asked, his voice deep and gravelly.
"Mister Bogart, may I shake your hand?" I didn't know what else to say.
"Sure, kid," he rumbled, his lined face breaking into a smile. He extended his arm. We shook. I thanked him and he smiled again. The window went up, and I walked back to where Ramon stood holding the door and returned to my perch on the jump seat. That was back in 1953. But the events of last week, though not nearly as dramatic, form a rough parallel. Instead of the Statue of Liberty, I visited The Cloisters, the magnificent complex built of five medieval stone buildings brought over from Europe and assembled as a museum on the banks of the Hudson River. In place of the Empire State Building, I saw the Riverside Church, the landmark site of much modern social activism and sporting America's tallest steeple. I ate lunch in a pleasant Italian place in an old brick warehouse, wandered around looking at some of the many parts of Columbia University and afterward walked several blocks to tour Grant's tomb, where Ulysses and his wife Julia lie at rest.
Then it was time for another celebrity encounter—this time with Ben Stiller, standing on the street corner wearing shorts and a scraggy tee shirt, surrounded by several assistants, evidently getting ready to direct a new film. Our eyes caught, I waved, he nodded, and I walked on by.
Just another day in New York City.

Funk Zone Art Becomes a Unique Attraction
Four years of free style art becomes a desination for art lovers
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A unique public art gallery in Santa Barbara's Funk Zone has become an attraction few people could have ever planned out.
17 panels on Mason St. a block from the beach, were painted by artists in 2009 and since then a grassroots, organized group has rotated artists, and presented cleverly painted concepts seen nowhere else in the city.
Was all this approved by a city committee? In a town where art, signs, and building colors are scrutinized for years on end, the Funk Zone has found a way to evolve in an organic way, somewhat under the radar, and never appeared in front of a commission prior to the paint hitting the wooden panels.
Artist and organizer Laura Inks says the building where the murals are painted used to be tagged with graffiti often and, "it had broke windows and glass on the ground."
She says, however, the property owners have never had an issue with the art and she makes sure it is appropriate for families to see.
"No one has ever said anything. All of the artists, everyone knows it could get shut down at any moment," said Inks."The truth is, it's now like a treasured environment."
Now, it's had a four year run, and it's also viewed as an economic spike for the city.
If it indeed draws people to the area, they are likely to shop around on other streets nearby as they do in other art districts. "I think the city and particularly the mayor sees that art is an economic driver. It attracts people it brings creatives to our community," said Inks.
The funk zone is transforming rapidly with new restaurants, wine tasting rooms, live music and big weekend crowds.
Some make it a point to stop by the wall of murals every time.
"The idea that this mural project changes every four months keeps them coming back. I think it is an economic stimulus,"said Inks.
It's also attracted other forms of art.
"There have been photo shoots here with ballerinas and break dancers. I come by and see tourists, Brooks Institute of Photography students and they come out with their gear and flashers and lights, it's almost like Hollywood," she said.
Unfortunately for the artists, the building where they have painted over 100 murals, is scheduled for demolition early next year as part of a large hotel project.
For Inks and many others with a paint brush, they hope their funky art work will live on somewhere else in this zone.
"It's had a good run. It's made a good difference," said Inks. "It's what started the art movement in the Funk Zone. These murals will be in the minds and hearts of the people that made them and saw them."Slideshow: Funk Zone Art Becomes a Unique Attraction

Just a note here on chicken. It cost me $6.00 to raise meat birds to slaughter including the cost of the bird. They were allowed to free range during this time as well. The chickens were butchered at the 4.5 to 6.5 lb range.
The dark meat turned out nearly as white as the breast. Without scientific equipment to test I'm still assuming that they are leaner than store bought. Labour aside they cost half the price as an equivalent store bought chicken.
Free range chicken eggs are better for you as well. I think they were quoting 1/2 the chloresterol as store bought.

I'm not sure the best run defense in the league is worried about a rooky running back that's been getting like two carries a game. They may have concern in the return game, sure would be nice to see him bust one!
Last edited by BillTheGreek; 10-10-2012 at 06:11 AM.
I don't think he will get that many chances to scare them. Maybe he will, but with the 49ers defense they will rely on Bradshaw as a blocker the same way they did in the Eagles game. Do you really thin their fans are scared of any RB? That team is dominating against the run and have been since last season.
I have patience. I don't need to see Patrick Willis and company knocking the ball out of Wilson's hands. They are great against the run. Stay with the hot hand in Bradshaw. Eli is gonna have to win this game for us anyway.
Save him for the end of the season. Defenses will be tired and he will torch them.
Nice part about Wilson is he doesnt know any better to fear any pacticular team. So as far as he is concerned the SF Defense is just any other defense he has faced and will go out there with no regard and not have any predetermined fear of how hard they hit. he will just go out and make huge runs
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
I think they're afraid of him being back to return kickoffs. SF's kick coverage is more like Philly's than Cleveland's. Wilson could very well take one to the house on Sunday, and I think THAT is what SF is afraid of.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

My name is Ben and I currently live in West Tennessee. I will be moving to Tuscaloosa Alabama soon and I am wanting to start raising bees. I am still looking into the local laws in the area around my new home so I may not be able to start this year there. I have a second location where I want to put up some hives (my parent's ranch about 45 min north of Birmingham) so the information will be useful anyway.
I am a complete novice when it comes to beekeeping. I am a 33 year old accountant so this is just a hobby but if I am able to bring in a few bucks that is a bonus. I am something of a geek so I may just end up spending it on the newest bee toys for my honey shack.
I found out about this site from Fentanyl3 on YouTube so if he reads this I want to give him a big "Thank You" for letting me know about this forum.
If you have any questions for me just ask. I can assure you I will do the same.

This is an excellent way to try pipe smoking. The Dr. Grabow pipe is by no means top of the line, but it is a nice starter. The tobaccos are a very good variety for a beginner to sample. I personally fell in love with the Molto Dulce. Guess I am going to be one of those guys that likes the aromatic tobaccos. Since receiving this kit I decided I do enjoy pipe smoking and have a growing pipe collection of 6 total(for now). Three of them are Dr. Grabow. Thanks CI for having an affordable and practical way to sample the world of pipes.
Great starter kit only thing miss is the lighter.
Where to start... the bad news, the Dr. Grabow Pipe. If you read the fine print on this ad, you'll notice it says, '...pipe models may differ from our product image.' I guess I didn't see that when I ordered, and the pipe WAS different. It's a straight style Golden Duke Rustic, rather than the beautiful Full Bent Smooth. Oh well, I've found it to be a fine pipe, and those little filters really make pipe maintenance a breeze. More good news, the included tabac.s are very good. So far the stand out is the Sutliff Private Stock Molto Dulce. It's super mild, moist, and flavorful. The 'Made in Czech Republic' pipe tool is well made and useful. Note to new pipe smokers, the vacuum locked Davidoff tin can be opened by using the longer of the three tools. Place the circular potion in one of the side recesses, and rotate upward. (I.E., To pry the lid off.) Cheers
This kit includes a lot of middle-of-the-road stuff that a beginner pipe smoker needs. All of the tobaccos are fantastic (except for one, but that's probably just personal taste) and the pipe, though nothing special, is a great, reliable pipe. Mine was straight as opposed to the bent pipe in the picture, but that's not a big deal. If you're looking for an affordable window into the hobby, this is your best bet!
Love it... Not bad for a starter!
I bought this kit and was really pleased with it. I smoke pipe or cigar once in a while and was looking for another pipe and some tobacco. I liked that it had the 3 in 1 pipe tool which I've never had. The tobacco is superb. I've had the Borkum Riff, but hadn't had the others. I'm smoking the Davidoff Green Mixture and love it. So if you are starting out in pipe smoking then this is a good kit or you've been smoking awhile I would recommend this to anybody. Chris
Can't complain! The pipe is a sturdy Dr. Grabow kit, the pipe tool is much nicer than the one I had, and the included tobacco is top notch!

The NFL's Always Had a Referee Problem

Okay, so the NFL replacement refs are terrible. Missed calls everywhere. Questionable holding penalties that have decided games. Let's be real here: as awful as it's been, it's always been terrible. How many years have you sat on your couch and screamed at the TV because those Foot Locker employees missed an obvious penalty? How terrible are referees, in general, and across all sports?

squeeze maysonet in there somewhere at the end and this mock is one of the better.
Im not certain the Lane Johnson will be available at #19 but if he slides then its a steal for Big Blue.
Always love seeing NJ Boys stay home and Greene is an impressive thumper.
I do have concerns that you dont have a DT.
I dont see the giants picking up a Safety anywhere in the draft. even with KP possibly leaving we have an influx of good young safety talent behind/next to Rolle. Hill/Brown/Sash/TT(Maybe).


text: Another Stars on Ice special -- the 2013 edition -- is now making the rounds on syndicated TV...so keep an eye open for airings in your area. By sheer luck, I happened to catch mine in the Washington, DC, area yesterday, on the local NBC station (12 noon to 1PM), as I was waiting for the NBC shows to begin. I missed the first 15 minutes but caught it & began taping at the 15-minute mark, just as the Kerrs were being announced. Best of all: Dorothy Hamill is back in the show! Wow, she looks great!!! I'm going to try to catch this show live because of Dorothy, although there's much else to love, such as Kurt Browning, Ilya and Katya, etc. Edited to add: Eegads! I just saw that this year's tour has only four stops. Living in DC, the closest show to me appears to be in Portland, Maine...or maybe Chicago would be easier to get to? Phooey! A stop in Hershey, PA, is promised but only in 2014 (and likely with a different cast, just returned from Olympics...I prefer to see veterans like Dorothy & Kurt). Check this out: http://www.starsonice.com/?content=tickets The show seems to have been filmed in Japan, judging by the lettering on the boards. I caught solo and group numbers with: Kerrs, Ilya & Katia, Navarro/Bommentre, Dorothy, Kurt, Shawn Sawyer, Joannie Rochette, Ryan Bradley. Dorothy skated to a Streisand song ('As if we Never Said Good-bye') and Kurt was fabulous in his famous 'Singin' in the Rain' routine.

Beautiful place, kind host, clean room, cost performance...every thing was wonderful for us.
We were warmly welcomed by Kasia and spent 5 great days in her little paradise.
In the morning you will be awakened by bird chirping and you can enjoy your breakfast outside on your patio next to the garden. For your daily programme you can use the very good bus connections or just have a walk on the nearby beach.
It was the perfect start for our Australia trip and we just can highly recommend staying with Kasia!
Very good acomendation.Near to busstop and beach.
Kasia are a wunderfull host. Everything was great. Thanks.
My husband and myself enjoyed Kasia's room and sharing her home. The room was beautifully decorated in green and dark furnishings and offered all the amenities required for a short stay. The location is good it isn't too far to walk to Maroubra beach about 15 minutes or to take the local bus which you can catch on the main road by walking through the park opposite Kasia's house. Getting a bus to into the city centre from Maroubra is only a 10 minute walk and there are plenty of local eating places if you prefer to stay locally. I found Kasia to be a superb host she was accommodating, she provided lots of information and booked a taxi for us on our departure. Highly recommend.
It was an absolute perfect stay at Kasias apartment. It offer all you need to feel comforable and even better. For me, it was the best place I booked on my 3 weeks round trip in Australia and New Zealand.
The accommodation from Kasia is situated on a nice part from Sydney.
In the room is everything what you need to have a pleasant stay.
Kasia and is Son are very helpfull an gave lot of informations to find the best places.
The traffic connection the City centre with bus is very good.
I passed 3 days in Sydney - a mixture of sightseeing and shopping - and was very happy with the accommodation. It is situated in a good suburb of Sydney, between airport and city and close to the beach. The house is very quiet, nice and clean room equipped with all what you need for breakfast or a small snack. Nice terrace if you find time to use it and secure parking place.
The landlady is very friendly and helpful.
When I come back to Sydney, I definitely will book the place again.
Kasia is the perfect host, very helpful and amiable. She always gave us valuable tips where to go etc. and it was a pleasure making her acquaintance. The house with the apartment is set in a beautiful neighborhood and really leaves nothing to wish for. If I travelled to Sydney again, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!

Movie Review: Like Crazy
The latest from director Drake Doremus is a bit like 500 Days of Summer only minus the snark and twee.
Director: Drake Doremus Rating: PG-13 Studio: Andrea Sperling Productions
There are things to like—and a few to love—in Like Crazy, the small, simple, fresh about first love that took the Grand Jury Prize at this past year's Sundance Film Festival. Directed and co-written by Drake Doremus (Douchebag) and shot in improvisational, shaky-cam style, the comedy drama features the ridiculously likeable duo of Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Fright Night) and Felicity Jones as college students—she's a Brit on a study visa, he's an American and budding furniture designer. They meet in a writing class, hang out, discover their mutual affinity for things like Paul Simon's Graceland and spend a couple of picturesque montage sequences roaming around places like the Santa Monica Pier while gazing wondrously into each other's eyes. Before they realize it, they're caught in a feverishly intense romance that persuades Jones to impulsively overstay her visa, an act that causes big problems for them both.
The movie is romantic, charming and incredibly sweet. Its raggedy, heart-on-its sleeve 1970s feel is unexpected and refreshing. Although you can't accuse the two main characters of being particularly deep, the wide-eyed innocence, honesty and skill of Yelchin and Jones, let alone the exceptionally good moviemaking, send you out of the theater feeling very good. Think of Like Crazy as a bit like 500 Days of Summer, only minus the snark and the twee. Or, put another way, it's a Blue Valentine that doesn't send you reaching for a bottle of antidepressants.
All credit to Doremus and cowriter Ben York Jones (star of Doremus's enjoyable Douchebag) for steering clear of a number of contemporary movie clichés. Like Crazy is an irony-free zone, it features no animated credit sequence and mostly avoids a "cool indie" soundtrack. There's also the pleasure of enjoying really good, all-too-brief work from Jennifer Lawrence as the pretty, loving young woman with whom Yelchin probably should have stayed, Alex Kingston and Oliver Muirhead as Jones's wealthy parents and Twilight favorite Charlie Bewley as Jones's alternative live-in boyfriend.

I ordered 5 it came to 65.31 shipped
Tapco Tap Ak Receiver Flat & Rails Md. # Ak0665--Fitness & Sports-Hunting-Gun
I seen this on another site and thought I would pass it along good price
In 21st Century America, there's something that's just plain wrong about buying gunsmithing parts at a chain store...
That's also a smokin' price on those flats!
Looks like the actual seller is "Grandslam" and sears is running their site like amazon.com does by taking orders and drop shipping the item.
I didn't pick up on that, but the site had that sort of look. More power to 'em; it seems to be working for Amazon.
Great. So who could laser-engraved this logo on those flats?
They may be cheap, but they're still Tapco flats
AK-Builder, bay-beh!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
If you compare, you see the obvious difference. Curtis (of AK-Builder) really puts a lot of care and time in the dimensioning and stamping before releasing the final flat for sale.
When bent and fit, a tapco flat will work, there is no doubt. An AK-Builder flat will work with less effort and look more authentic when done.
Until you compare, you won't know why.
I don't understand the antagonism. Personally, I drive Ford for trucks and GM for sedans. I used to like'em both. Now, Ford wins because they didn't whine for a gubmint handout.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
I built my first AK on a Tapco flat. I bought an AK-Builder flat for an underfolder build later, and the difference was obvious - stepped rails, milled clearance for the trunnions, etc. Cheap as I am, I'll go for the AK-builder flat now.
The AK-Builder flats are better, but the Tapcos work just fine.
That first built was a screw build on a Tapco. Eventually I plan to redo it with rivets, on an AK-Builder flat... but it's way, way down on the "do" list.

Custom Campaigns
Redirected from Heaven Can Wait/RiverMotel
this wiki
Custom Campaigns, also known as Community Campaigns, are community-created campaigns that can range in size from a full campaign, to a single chapter. Some custom maps are specifically designed for game modes like Scavenge and Survival. Custom content can only be created and used by PC users. Xbox 360 players are unable to use custom content due to technical and financial difficulties regarding porting community-based content over.
Valve is supportive of custom content. They have a SDK for each of their games including Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, which allows for easy creating and installing of custom campaigns. They have also released audio recordings by the voice actors of the Survivors for use in specific custom campaigns and feature some custom campaigns on their online blog, as well as uploading specific custom campaigns onto the official servers for more accessibility.
The custom campaign cannot be played on official servers. But can be played on Best server or Local server.
After the February 7, 2013 update. Steam introduced the Steam Workshop where users can upload their custom created maps or content. The contents can be downloaded by subscribing a custom content. Without need to install the addons manually. Futhermore if the same account is logged on different PC, the mods is retained there as well. Internet connection is required however.
How To Install Edit
Once a custom campaign is downloaded from a site, the VPK file is simply placed into the addons folder found in either Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2 folders. Campaigns are generally created for a certain game; a campaign created for Left 4 Dead may not always work for Left 4 Dead 2, and vice versa, so be aware which game the custom campaign is for before installing.
Some custom campaigns may not be encased in a single VPK (that could be opened with GCFScape;) the file may be a zip or rar file containing a number of .bsp (that could be decompiled to a .vmf file using BSPSource) and .nav files as well. In this case, the file will generally have instructions on where to place them, but usually, the .bsp and .nav files, along with related .txt files, will be placed in the maps folder.
List of Full-Length Custom CampaignsEdit
Here is a list of custom campaigns which have been noted by their creators to be 'complete', or at least in the final build, with no major updates planned unless concerning bug fixes. These are based around Campaign mode, with the length and number of maps being roughly comparable to standard canon Campaigns. There may be optional modes within the maps catering to Versus, Scavenge and Survival. Descriptions are taken from where the map is found, unless no description was given.

Adoration of the Magi returns to The Hyde
Adoration of the Magi returns home to The Hyde
The Hyde's Antwerp Mannerist panel painting, the Adoration of the Magi (c. 1518-30), recently returned from the Williamstown Art Conservation Center where it received an extensive conservation treatment. The work was purchased by Louis and Charlotte Hyde from Milch Galleries in New York City in 1929 and they hung the painting in the Music Room of Hyde House. It remained there until 2003, when it was removed by the curatorial department and placed in storage due to its unstable condition. The paint surface was discolored due to old inpainting from prior restorations, areas of loss were noticeably visible, and the oak panel was warped, resulting in an image that was visually distracting and art historically perplexing.
Before Conservation Treatment After Conservation Treatment
In 2010, the Museum received a grant from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network to conserve this painting and restore its appearance to represent more closely its original state. The work was sent to Williamstown Art Conservation Center where paintings conservator Sandra Webber undertook the conservation treatment. Webber wrote an article describing the discoveries made during the treatment process that was recently published in Art Conservator, a publication of the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. The new findings include identifying the sources for images of the "Adoration of the Magi" in Antwerp in the southern Netherlands (later Belgium) and the artist who was at the center of their popularity and production. According to recent research, small devotional paintings based on the life of Mary achieved great popularity in Antwerp, an international center of trade and commerce in the early sixteenth century. Today, more than forty versions have been identified that are similar to The Hyde's composition. The source for this particular image can be traced to the workshop of Jan de Beer (ca. 1475 – before 1528), one of a handful of known Antwerp artists working in this period. Though the prototype by Jan de Beer is lost, The Hyde's painting is now firmly identified as one of the copies of the Jan de Beer masterpiece and, in its newly conserved condition, considered one of the finest among the group.
The painting is on view once again in the Music Room of Hyde House.

Reading the description on the site.IMO the leather loops would be sewn to the top of the holster, so no you couldn't switch back and forth.It is also available with the traditional leather loops in place of the clips. The leather loops are attached along the top edge of the holster.
It looks like the standard clips are secured with screws (adjustable for height), so if you do find a different style of clip you may be able to swap those out.

Neon flag at Institute of Texan Cultures
ITC volunteers are needed to share story of Texas
(Jan. 4, 2005)--Where do more than 200,000 people go each year to find out about American Indians, their personal family roots and the impact of science and technology on the people of Texas? The Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio.

Thanks for the tutorial and great discussions!! Love the glue spray idea. Have always pinned and hated pinning but even hated removing the pins even more!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for the tutorial and great discussions!! Love the glue spray idea. Have always pinned and hated pinning but even hated removing the pins even more!
Central Maryland
I found the glue sold by the gallon for $11.99 at this link:
I have recently basted a quilt using Elmers glue.....I had read where some of you had used a paint brush the spongey type the thought crossed my mind to try a pastry brush from my kitchen drawer.....I placed the glue in the container with a small amount of water shook it up and applied lightly over half the quilt.....this worked fantastic.....I did half a quilt at a time I lightly iron over each outer side after applying........
A bed without a quilt is like the night sky without stars.
Ive been doing this also! Really like it!! No pins!! I learned to smooth any blobs out so theres no clumps. havent done anything larger than lap quilt so far. thanks for the pictures!!
Love the idea of pastry brush!! Just dont put it back in kitchen! Lol
Thanks to all....will take all of your recommendations and try the Elmer's glue...washable, of course!!! I have not had any luck with any of the other methods...still have puckers with them.
There is a very fine line between hobby and mental illness. - Dave Barry
I wonder if you can use the clear elmers glue also?
WOW Carso, Super (Duper) Member!!! Great recipe!! Thanks for sharing. And NOW, what to do now with all my safety pins? Serendipity! I just read this morning how you can use safety pins to keep bobbins organized with the same thread. Pin through one of the holes in bobbins and close safety pin, then slip the closed safety pin (with the attached bobbin) into the hold of your thread spool. This method may not work on small spools. For small spools you can keep bobbins and like thread together by putting bobbin on the safety pin then enclose the spool "inside" safety pin and close pin. The little spool of thread will be inside safety pin along with the bobbin. I learned tip this from Sharon Pederson when she was speaking about thread control.

Over the past few years, Frank Blethen, the guy in charge of the Seattle Times Company, which owns the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, the Kennebec Journal in Augusta, and the Waterville-based Morning Sentinel, has spent a lot of time supporting federal regulations that limit media consolidation, saying more owners equal more viewpoints, equals better democracy.
But recent moves by the Press Herald suggest that at least the first part of that equation isn't necessarily true. While the paper may be owned separately from the city's TV stations, it's starting to act a lot like them, missing an opportunity to actually serve its audience something new.
Consider, for example, coverage of a vacant house that apparently filled with natural gas and exploded in South Portland on October 1.
Press Herald "online reporter" Dieter Bradbury, who has been with the Press Herald his entire 27-year journalism career, went straight to the scene after hearing about the explosion. Bradbury's video on the Press Herald's site was shaky, often without audio, and spent a lot of time showing us fire trucks with flashing lights and police officers walking around. Bradbury and other staffers filed written updates to the story throughout the day, and even into the next.
Other than the video pros covering the silent spots with voiceover, the Press Herald's work was nearly identical to the TV coverage of the event.
But even Portland's broadcasters don't think the city needs more TV news. Two of the five channels that could have their own local news programs instead outsource it to other local stations. WCSH, the NBC affiliate on Channel 6, has a 10 pm news broadcast on WPXT, the Channel 12 CW affiliate. And WGME, the CBS station on Channel 13, puts out a 10 pm news show on WPFO, the Fox affiliate on Channel 23 (Channel 7 on cable).
It's uncommon for print Press Herald stories to mention the TV coverage of the same events. But editor Jeannine Guttman continues to talk about "convergence" between the paper and the paper's Web site. We should expect, then, a good package story in the paper and online the following day, referencing video, at least, and maybe the previous day's frequent updates.
Think again.
The 1250-word effort by staff writers Trevor Maxwell and Ann S. Kim on October 2 was written and presented — on the front page — as if no one reading it had heard the slightest rumor of a story that had received blanket coverage from the TV evening news and the Press Herald's own Web site.
There is no mention — even in the online version of the story — of any video or previous coverage on the Press Herald's site. And on subsequent days, the in-paper follow-ups repeated information that had been widely available hours earlier from the TV stations. The online follow-ups never once mentioned or linked to any previous coverage on the Press Herald's site, not even the words-only updates.
Let's not kid ourselves — this was an insignificant story. It had good visuals (if you define "good" as a roof lying on the ground surrounded by tiny bits of wood), but nobody was dead, or even injured. No tragic tale of a life cut short — just a couple of neighbors who were a bit startled by the blast. Not even a family left homeless — the building was under construction and vacant.

New things in 10.1 from a security point of view.
Format string exploits got harder, thanks to FORTIFY_SOURCE and glibc 2.4.
glibc now checks if %n (the critical point in format string exploits) appear in writeable memory, and if yes, it will abort. Considers this example:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>
extern int f(char *f) { char *buf = malloc(strlen(f)+1);
strcpy(buf, f); printf(buf,"hello world"); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { f("%s\n%n%n%n"); }
$ gcc -O2 -o xx xx.c $ ./xx hello world Segmentation faultExploit successful.
$ gcc -O2 -o xx xx.c -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 $ ./xx hello world *** %n in writable segment detected *** AbortedExploit only successful in getting a controlled abort(), but no code execution.
This requires code compiled with the -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 define, which all packages with RPM_OPT_FLAGS in SUSE Linux are, which are around 90% - 95%.
(Of course I know that almost all format string exploits have been fixed in the meantime. But there might still be some left.)

Passion for writing drives Wayne Law Review editor
FEATURE RELEASE (Nov. 1, 2010) – It's no surprise that Louis Meizlish, '11, became editor in chief of The Wayne Law Review at Wayne State University Law School. He has been interested in the law since he was a child tagging along to work with his father, Sheldon Meizlish, a Detroit attorney. And, as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, Meizlish worked at the student newspaper and frequently wrote about legal cases and legislation. He was especially interested in Sept. 11-related matters, as well as two affirmative-action lawsuits involving the University of Michigan in 2003 (Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger).
"I have always enjoyed reading and writing about the law and public policy," said Meizlish, who was invited to join the Law Review after participating in the publication's annual write-on competition for prospective members. "Now, as the leader of the organization, my job is to ensure that new members benefit from the same opportunities I had a year ago."
The upcoming issue of the Law Review will include a debate about the process of selecting state court judges who are elected in many states, unlike federal judges who are appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. The publication's Annual Survey of Michigan Law will discuss recent developments in Michigan case law since the 2008 election, when control of Michigan Supreme Court shifted from Republicans to Democrats.
"We are excited about our upcoming issues," Meizlish said. "One of our recent student works, or 'Notes,' will include an analysis of Michigan's court rules relating to jurors' possession of cellular telephones and other electronic devices. Another Note will discuss Google Book Search and the difficult copyright issues involved when the authors of orphan works cannot be located or identified."
Writing truly seems to be his passion. Meizlish, who goes by Louie, is also an occasional columnist for the recently revived Law School student newspaper, Dicta.
Though classes and his work on the Law Review and Dicta keep him busy, Meizlish is used to an active schedule and also is involved with the Hispanic Law Students Association (HLSA), "HLSA is involved in the 313 Project, a collaboration of multiple student groups at the Law School that support needy organizations in Detroit. HLSA has been very successful in helping raise funds for these organizations and I am very proud to be a part of it."
Additionally, he currently is interning for Judge Robert H. Cleland of the U.S. District Court in Detroit, for whom he interned during his first summer in law school. His other work experience includes clerking for the Southfield law firm of Erman Teicher Miller Zucker and Freedman PC and the Troy law firm of Kemp Klein Umphrey Endelman and May PC.
According to Meizlish, he is not sure what area of the law he wants to pursue, but is leaning toward litigation and appellate practice, as they involve a combination of both oral and written advocacy skills. That said, he is confident that his education from Wayne Law will prepare him for his legal career.
"To those considering a legal career, I believe there are two aspects of the Wayne Law education that are of great benefit to future lawyers," he said. "First, the quality of the instruction is superb. In my three years I have had wonderful opportunities to learn about the law from scholars who are giants in their respective fields, such as Alan Schenk, John Mogk and Robert Sedler. My legal writing professor, Amy Neville, who has mentored many young lawyers in the Detroit area, did a tremendous job strengthening my writing abilities.
"Second, Wayne Law students really play essential roles in each other's learning process, and while many of us come from diverse social, economic and philosophical backgrounds, the sense of community here is very strong."
Meizlish is the recipient of a Board of Governors Scholarship, the John Cabiniss Endowed Scholarship, the Richard H. Rogers Scholarship, and, as editor in chief of the Law Review, the Jason L. Honigman Scholarship. "Law School alumni and friends have been very generous," he said.

Russian photojournalist Andrei Stenin killed in Ukraine
New York, September 3, 2014--Russian authorities and news outlets reported today that Andrei Stenin, the 33-year-old Russian photojournalist for the state-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya, who went missing in Ukraine in early August, was killed in the country's Donetsk region.
"We condemn the killing of Andrei Stenin, which calls attention once again to the dangers of covering the conflict in Ukraine from any side," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "We urge Ukrainian authorities to do their utmost to conduct an effective probe into the circumstances of his death, and call on pro-Russia separatists to allow investigators access to the territory where Stenin was reportedly found."

And then possibly a nice supercedure queen cell. Congratulations!
"I added an Additional box of foundation less frames under the top empty super. That gives them five boxes total so I hope they have enough room for now."
Even a 10 lb swarm should fit in 3 mediums of drawn comb. They'll draw foundation quickly, and need supering sooner than later, but five should be than more than enough room. My strong colonies fit in a 3 medium brood chamber. Exceptional ones sometimes get a 4th, during the main flows, when they are no longer thinking of swarming and have plenty of super space.

Anderson scores 27, Hornets beat Kings 114-105
NEW ORLEANS - Ryan Anderson scored 27 points and the New Orleans Hornets survived a second half without Anthony Davis in a 114-105 victory over Sacramento on Monday.
Anderson scored 17 points in the second quarter, making 5 of 8 3-point attempts, when the Hornets raced to a 64-39 halftime lead.
Greivis Vasquez added 19 points and Eric Gordon had 16 points for the Hornets, who have won three of four.
Davis sat out the second half with a left ankle sprain. It is the same ankle he injured earlier in the year that sidelined him for 11 games.
DeMarcus Cousins led the Kings with 29 points and 13 rebounds. Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points, and Tyreke Evans had 16 on the day the NBA announced the team's owners had a deal to potentially move the franchise to Seattle.

Polish director Agnieszka Holland's Oscar-nominated story about a wastrel named Leopold Socha (Robert Wieckiewicz), who hid the Jews of Lvov from the Nazis by concealing them in the sewers, has an anguished and feral intensity. Holland sharply uses the nearly 2-1/2 hour running time to animate the fractious group dynamic, exploring the class and social hierarchies (and even sexual complications) imposed by the different Jewish factions without eliding Socha's own questionable profit motive. The movie's six different languages contribute a searing authenticity. Working with the superb cinematographer Jolanta Dylewska, Holland draws on the restricted light and vertiginous space to achieve immersive, tactile imagery that is appalling and unforgettable. A great actor unknown here, Wieckiewicz finds a solidity and complex moral shading that balances the character's predatory instincts with his developing responsibility.
