Minutes of an extraordinary meeting of the Bounders Club.
Cmdr. Birmingham (Royal Bermuda Volunteer Naval Reserve, Retired) presiding.
Gentlemen I have called you here today to discuss a most unusual proposition from the finance committee. As you would know the books of the Bounders Club are in a parlous state, an unfortunate happenstance I can only sheet home to the ruinous tenure of Mr. Brian Waldron as club secretary. The auditors have yet to present their final report but I'm afraid it appears a good deal of our working capital seems to have been poured down the throats of some of the thirstier Melbourne Storm players.
As such we find ourselves skint, gentlemen. The club's polo stables have already been emptied out and their occupants radically retasked, as you will note if you peruse tonight's menu in the dining room. The bar will be closing early after the meeting, serving its last drinks at 2am rather than trading through until breakfast. And I am afraid the crystal has already been hocked off to cover our collective losses with the bookmakers. If you will all just keep a hold of your complementary plastic beaker from the American hamburger clown, you will be entitled to a free refill in the small street front commissary we have been obliged to lease to him.
None of this is acceptable, gentlemen, but it is unavoidable. For the moment at least.
And so we come to the crux of this meeting, the proposal from the finance committee that in light of our fiscal embarrassment and certain fortuitous societal developments, we might monetise what comparative advantages we do have in an all out effort to push through and leave this troubling time behind us.
It has come to the attention of committee chair, Lord Bob of Nowhere, that with the unfortunate liberation of the fairer sex there has come a related, and for us serendipitous liberation, of both their morals and their purse strings.
I shall not beat about the bush gentlemen, the ladies have to have it and they are willing to pay for it. I presume some of us are still willing to provide it. By way of explanation I table this fascinating account in the electronical media, of certain ladies coining it like bandits after having set up a pleasure parlor specialising in the provision of Fancy Men for the purpose of pleasuring their lovelorn but cash rich sisters.
Gentlemen, this is an outrage. I am sure there are any number of you who would be willing to provide this service for free and were circumstances more amenable I would advise you to have at it. But circumstances are not amenable. Circumstances are rather grim, truth be told. So, I propose we adapt a number of the Club's sleeping rooms to receive guests of the female gender, on a strictly paying basis, by the hour, until such a time as our coffers are replenished.
I have no doubt about the popularity of this service should we opt to provide it, but I do wonder who amongst the membership is ready to make the sacrifice for the greater good of the Bounders Club. I, unfortunately am unable because of The Wound I received at Balaclava. But I can very easily imagine General Havock all trussed up in a fetching array of leather dog collars and fresh underpants, which I am assured the modern sort of lady finds very much to her liking. Or Lord Bob, himself laid out on the chaise lounge in the Library, greased from head to toe like an oily whale of love beached on the sands of loneliness and awaiting nought but the heaving, grunting efforts of a well paying, role playing lady rescuer to shift him from his precarious situation. There will be others among you with your own special bedroom talents I am sure.
So, gentlemen, who's up for it?

If the party retains North Western province, it will have four upper house seats, which, combined with the seven it expects to hold in the lower house, would allow it to keep party status.
Mr Ryan said that while the party had not polled as strongly as it had hoped, it had performed well in spite of a massive swing towards Labor and predictions that the 85-year-old party was doomed.
"In the context of the swing, it's not a swing it's a tsunami really, and yet we've been able to hold our ground," he said. "That's something that I think tells its own story as to the way in which we've conducted ourselves over this past, almost three years."
The party lost Benalla to Labor's Denise Allen in the May, 2000, byelection when former party leader and deputy premier Pat McNamara retired.
Going into the election, a swing of 0.7 per cent towards the National or Liberal Parties was required for the seat to change.
While National candidate Bill Sykes - who was also the party's candidate in the 2000 byelection - was behind on the primary votes, he edged ahead of Ms Allen on the two-party-preferred vote.
Mr Sykes was "cautiously optimistic" yesterday, with the Benalla vet ahead of Liberal candidate Andrew Dwyer by only 315 primary votes. He expected his fate to be known by Wednesday, with 15 per cent of the vote yet to be counted.
"Given the overall, sometimes negative, sentiment out there that the VicNats were gone, I think it's a credit to Peter Ryan's leadership that we've stemmed the flow pretty well compared to the Liberals, who were obviously absolutely decimated," Mr Sykes said.
In Shepparton - previously held by retiring National MP Don Kilgour - Jeanette Powell was behind the Liberals' Stephen Merrylees on primary votes, but was up on the two-party-preferred vote.

The .380 round is also known as the 9mm short. But I think there may be more involved in chambering a .380 into a 9mm pistol than just changing barrels.
This is a discussion on And just why the heck not? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I've noticed that many of the better semi-auto brands have after market replacement barrels that make it possible to shoot different calibers in the same ...
I've noticed that many of the better semi-auto brands have after market replacement barrels that make it possible to shoot different calibers in the same gun.
So I'm at the gun store this morning ordering a Polish P-64 9mm Makarov pistol. I've heard good things about them. This is the one I ordered.
I picked up a box of 9mm Mak's as well, so I'm ready to head to the range when it arrives, and as I'm looking at the shells, I notice how similar they look to .380 acp.
A little research reveals that the Makarov is a tiny bit longer than the .380, but balistically it's near identical to a +P .380.
So why the heck hasn't Kel-tec or somebody taken advantage of this fact to adapt an existing .380 into a 9mm Makarov with a simple barrel swap.
The .380 round is also known as the 9mm short. But I think there may be more involved in chambering a .380 into a 9mm pistol than just changing barrels.
Guns: Glock 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30 & 36
Rides: 2006 GTO with my turbo system and tune (635 RWHP); 2009 H-D Street Glide with many mods
The 380 is a 9MM. 9MM X 17. The Makarov is 9MM X 18. The 9MM Luger or Parabellum is 9MM X19. The 380 and 9MM Luger use a bullet that is .355. The Makarov use a bullet that is .364.
The Makarov has about the same power as the 380. Some Makarovs have been rebarreled to 380. There is a better bullet selection of .355 bullets. There would be no advantage to really be gained by rebarrling a 380 to the 9X18.
There is a significant pressure rise in the 9MM Luger so you can not rebarrel a Makarov to 9MM Luger.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
My point is just that the Makarov is so very similar to the .380, why not take advantage of the greater availability of the Mak?
9mm Luger would be a big leap in pressure and physical size, making .380 to Luger conversion problematic at best.
It's often more involved than simply rechambering a barrel for another cartridge. There's magazine and feeding considerations also. Plus, is there enough public demand for the conversion to make up for the retooling expenses? Probably not.
There have been other conversions that failed merely for the costs. Lone Wolf had a .45 to 10mm conversion barrels at one time, but it had problems that could have been worked out, but the cost of doing so and low demand would never have made it profitable.
A lot of "Why dont they...?" comes down to simple economics.

If that's the question, I think you need to look at the stats for the Makarov. While it is a silly millimeter longer than the 380, it's performance improvement is nominal. The only company I could find on Midway's site selling any kind of defensive ammo for the Makarov is Hornady. There Makarov ammo only has 11 ft. lbs. more energy than their 380 ammo. I doubt many manufacturers would gear up to produce a Makarov barrel for only a 11 ft. lb. increase in performance.

because then you wouldnt be able to walk inot any store in town and pick up a box of 9mm mak...is it that hard to understand?...it would increase demand for mak to the point where it wouldnt be available...the ammo supply has to increase to meet the demand...retooling a factory to put a band aid on the situation isnt going to solve it...

One study (Santell et al.) of a national medication error database found that nearly 11,000 medication errors were reported over a five-year period by EDs in 484 unique facilities.3 Of these errors, 4.8% resulted in patient harm, including five fatalities. Drug administration was the most often reported phase of the medication-use process in which the error originated (45%), followed by prescribing (29%). Dispensing errors accounted for approximately 9% of the reported errors. A second, prospective, observational study was performed in a 40-bed, academic, tertiary ED with an annual census of approximately 70,000 patients to determine the rate and severity of medication errors, as well as common contributing factors associated with error occurrence. The study identified 178 medication errors in 192 patients. At least one error involved 59.4% of patients; 37% of patients overall had an error that reached them. No errors in the study resulted in permanent harm or contributed to initial or prolonged hospitalization; however, interventions performed to prevent harm likely influenced the severity of the errors. In contrast to the study performed by Santell et al.,3 the reported phase in which the error originated most often was prescribing (53.9%), followed by administration (34.8%), transcribing (10.7%), and dispensing (0.6%). The study concluded that medication errors in the ED are common, with errors occurring most often in the prescribing and administration phases.4 The results from the two studies may reflect the fact that the two phases of the medication-use process that occur most in the ED are prescribing and administration.
A possible contributing factor to medication errors in the ED is the unique medication distribution system used in this care area, which differs from that of the inpatient units. For example, medications in EDs may, when urgently needed, be retrieved from a non-pharmacy-profiled automated dispensing cabinet (ADC), unit stock, or refrigerator, and the prescriber's order may not be reviewed by a pharmacist before the drugs are given.5
Medication Errors in Pennsylvania EDs
National data (1996 through 2006) shows that the age group with the highest annual per capita ED visit rate was infants younger than 12 months, at 84.5 visits per 100 infants (or about 3.5 million visits).1 Individuals aged 75 years and older had the second highest per capita ED visit rate, at 60.2 visits per 100 individuals (representing about 10.2 million visits). By contrast, of the events reported to the Authority, 42.8% (n = 1,100) involved adults between the ages of 17 and 64, while 27.6% (n = 710) involved pediatric patients (ages less than 17 years), and 29.5% (n = 759) involved the elderly population (65 years and older).
The most prevalent medication error event types reported from the ED (see Table 1) included wrong dose/overdosage (17.6%, n = 452), drug omission (13.7%, n = 353), and wrong drug (10.5%, n = 269).
Table 1. Predominant Medication Error Event Types Associated with the Emergency Department (n = 1,825, 71%), August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010
In U.S. healthcare facilities, medications were either given in the ED or prescribed at discharge in 76.6% of visits, with a total of about 212 million drugs given/prescribed, or 1.8 per visit.1 The leading therapeutic drug classes ordered or prescribed during ED visits were analgesics, including narcotic and nonnarcotic pain medications as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (36.8%); antimicrobials, including cephalosporins, penicillins, quinolones, macrolides, and sulfonamides (15.9%); and antiemetic or antivertigo agents (8.9%). Coincidentally, the class of medication mentioned most often in ED-related medication error reports submitted to the Authority (see Table 2) was antibiotics (21.8%, n = 560), followed by anticoagulants/antithrombotics (9.7%, n = 248) and opioids (8.3%, n = 214). Table 2. Predominant Classes of Medications Mentioned in Events in Emergency Department (n = 1,376, 53.6%), August 1, 2009, through July 31, 2010
Drug Omission Errors in the ED
The drug classes most frequently mentioned in drug omission reports included antibiotics (26.4%, n = 93), anticoagulants (9.3%, n = 33), NSAIDs (5.9%, n = 21), and hypoglycemics (5.9%, n = 21). High-alert medications, drugs that bear a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when they are used in error,7 represented 21.8% (n = 77) of all reported drug omissions.
Of drug omissions involving the elderly (n = 156), the predominant class of omitted medications was antibiotics (31%, n = 48). The next class was anticoagulants (i.e., heparin, warfarin, enoxaparin) (11.5%, n = 18), which represented more than half of all high-alert medications involved in omissions among the elderly (21.2% of omissions, n = 33).
Orders were written for adult deep venous thrombosis [DVT] prevention for Lovenox®. The patient was held in the ED overnight and sent to the floor the next day. The order for Lovenox was found the following day, and it was faxed to the pharmacy. The next day, a CT [computed tomography] scan of the chest showed pulmonary emboli. Orders [were written] to start heparin for pulmonary embolism/DVT protocol and the Lovenox was discontinued.
Only 25 reports (7.1%) of drug omissions involved the pediatric population, with the medications most frequently mentioned including albuterol (36% of pediatric omissions, n = 9) and ibuprofen (16%, n = 4).
Wrong-Dose/Overdosage Errors in the ED
While 24.1% (n = 109) of wrong-dose/overdosage events involved a high-alert medication, unlike the harm score breakdown for the overall data, only 33.8% (n = 153) of the events actually reached the patient and 0.9% (n = 4) harmed the patient. The four cases involving harm, described below, suggest problems related to inaccurate patient weight and the inappropriate use of HYDROmorphone (Dilaudid®), both of which have been discussed in past issues of the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Advisory.8,9
Upon admission, the patient's weight was estimated to be 100 kg. Based on that, a bolus of 8,000 units of heparin was administered along with an IV [intravenous] infusion of 20 units/kg/hr. The patient's first heparin level came back at midnight at more than 1.10 and the patient was experiencing gross hematuria. Heparin was discontinued at that point to be reevaluated. It was then discovered that the actual weight of the patient was 90 kg, which represents a 10 kg (10%) difference in weight.
A patient arrived to the ED with complaints of abdominal pain. The patient was prescribed and given 3 mg of IV Dilaudid over a three-hour period. The patient was found unresponsive and not breathing by a nurse. The patient was given Narcan® [naloxone] and was responsive with spontaneous breathing within minutes.
A patient went to the ED with flank pain due to a possible kidney stone. Dilaudid was ordered at 1 mg prn IV push × 3 doses. The patient continued to have pain. Dilaudid 1 mg IV now was ordered for three more doses as needed. The patient received a total of 6 mg of Dilaudid in less than three hours.
Patient seen in the ED for migraine headaches and was treated with Dilaudid 2 mg IM [intramuscular], was given a repeat dose of 2 mg IM and was discharged 40 minutes later in stable condition under the care of his daughter. The daughter at home became concerned and called EMS [emergency medical services]. EMS treated the patient with Narcan and the patient was brought back to the ED for evaluation and further treatment.
To guide appropriate drug therapy, healthcare providers need readily available patient demographic and clinical information (e.g., age, weight, allergies, diagnoses, pregnancy status) and patient-monitoring information (e.g., laboratory values, vital signs) that gauge the effects of medications on the patient's underlying disease processes.10 Further analysis of wrong-dose/overdosage events in the ED shows that 28.5% (n = 129) of the event descriptions mention breakdowns in patient information, including errors involving patient weight (17.7%, n = 80), patient age (5.8%, n = 26), knowledge of existing medication profiles (2.7%, n = 12), the medication reconciliation process (2.2%, n = 10), and wrong patients (0.2%, n = 1). See the following examples.
An order was written for Decadron® 20 mg orally for an ED patient. The pharmacist missed the patient age and dispensed the order as written. After realizing the patient age, the pharmacist told the ED not to give Decadron until the pharmacist and prescriber could discuss the dose. The 20 mg dose was returned to pharmacy and the dose was changed to 2 mg (which is appropriate for a 24-month-old patient).
A baby came to the ED with a fever of 103°F rectally. The nurse gave 120 mg of Tylenol® [acetaminophen] to the baby. After giving the medication, she realized she did not convert the baby's weight to kilograms prior to calculating dose.
The patient was admitted and told the resident that he took amiodarone 400 mg three times daily, which was recorded on the history and physical form. This dose, which was too high, was ordered and administered to patient. This abnormal dose was not noticed by the physicians, nurse, or pharmacy. The high dose was noticed the next morning and immediately stopped.
Pediatric Wrong-Dose/Overdosage Errors
Reports submitted to the Authority show that almost half (47.7%, n = 132) of the wrong-dose/overdosage events among the pediatric population (n = 277, 61.3% of all wrong-dose/overdosage errors) involved prescribing an excessive dose. The predominant medications were dexamethasone (11.6%, n = 32), Tamiflu® (6.9%, n = 19), ibuprofen (6.5%, n = 18), acetaminophen (6.1%, n = 17), and gentamicin (4.3%, n = 12).
In a retrospective review of medication errors in another pediatric ED, the incorrect documentation of patients' weight, leading to incorrect dosing, was the most frequently reported error.12 Similarly, analysis of wrong-dose/overdosage events among the pediatric population (n = 277) reported to the Authority found that 21.3% (n = 59) involved a breakdown related to documented patients' weight, while 9.4% (n = 26) involved a breakdown related to the patient's age.
Pharmacy Interventions
Review of wrong-dose/overdosage medication errors reported to the Authority found that in 150 reports (33.2%), excessive doses were ordered by prescribers but caught and corrected by pharmacists. Such events are often referred to as "pharmacy interventions."
Cases in which pharmacists actively "caught" erroneously dosed orders include the following:
A physician ordered a dose of 500 mg acetazolamide IV. The patient was on 500 mg PO [per os] acetazolamide once daily at home. The clinical pharmacist recommended that the dose be separated and given every six hours because the IV formulation was to be administered. The physician was informed and they changed the order to 125 mg every six hours.
A prescriber ordered a heparin infusion to run at 400 units/mL, based on a dose at 970 units/kg/hr. The dose is high. The prescriber was contacted and the dose was changed to 18 units/kg/hr.
[There was a] good catch by pharmacist during the processing of an order and prior to administration of the medication. A physician ordered insulin aspart 100 units three times a day with meals with a one-time dose of 100 units. When called to verify correctness of order, the physician said that he "saw the order on the . . .medication record." He was asked to verify the dose with the patient. When he called back, it was discovered that the patient takes 15 units TID with meals.
The predominant classes of medications mentioned in wrong-dose/overdosage errors included antibiotics (30%, n = 45), steroids (21.3%, n = 32), and NSAIDs (9.3%, n = 14). The predominant medications mentioned were dexamethasone (11.3%, n = 17), prednisolone (6%, n = 9), ketorolac (4.7%, n = 7), and acetazolamide (4.7%, n = 7).
Risk Reduction Strategies for the ED
Incorporation of Pharmacists into the ED
A study to determine the frequency of medication errors in one facility's ED before and after an ED pharmacist was assigned to check medication orders found that the rate of errors decreased significantly (66.6%) when pharmacists prospectively reviewed the orders.14 In addition, other healthcare facilities that have used pharmacists in their EDs have shown improvements in many aspects of medication use, such as reducing medication order turnaround time, making medications more readily available, and improving compliance with clinical indicators. In such facilities, pharmacists have assisted ED staff with drug selection, drug administration, and patient monitoring, as well as with emergency and trauma-related codes.15,16 Pharmacists have expanded their role in the ED to assist with culture and susceptibility report follow-up, antibiotic selection, review of patients' known medication history, analysis of unidentified tablets, and assisting in the medication-reconciliation process.
Multidisciplinary Teamwork
Patient Weight
A patient's weight is important information often used to calculate the appropriate medication dose. When medication errors arise because a patient's weight is unknown or inaccurately documented, the dose of a prescribed medication could be significantly different from what is appropriate.8 Strategies to address these problems include the following:

NBA to consider suggesting under-23 age limit for Olympics
NBA commissioner David Stern and deputy commissioner Adam Silver told members of the media on Wednesday that the league will take a closer look after the London Games to see whether it makes sense to suggest that the Olympic men's basketball tournament limit players to 23 years old and younger, in the same way the Olympic men's soccer tournament does. (A rule change would also affect the world championships, now called the World Cup of Basketball.)
Needless to say, the U.S. would still have the deepest talent pool from which to draw and would remain the favorite every four years, but such a move would give more players a chance to represent their country and might quicken the maturation process of some who have not yet met their potential. Recent Olympic teams would have had a vastly different look had this restriction been in place. On the original Dream Team, for example, only token collegian Christian Laettner was anywhere close to 23. (He turned 23 one week after the gold medal game.)

Cassidy on flood insurance, school choice, town hall
BATON ROUGE - U.S. Congressman Bill Cassidy stopped by 2une In Wednesday to talk about the flood insurance bill currently on the table in Congress.
The bill already passed the House of Representatives last week. If the Senate chooses to accept it as well and it is signed by President Obama, it would help to provide relief from the inflated insurance rate that came about as a result of the redistricting of flood zones. The increase could be as high as 90% in some areas.
Cassidy is hosting a pair of events in the Baton Rouge area Monday. He is hosting a School Choice From 8:30 am- Noon at the Baton Rouge Marriott. At the fair you will have the chance to meet with representatives from charter schools, home study programs and private/parochial schools.
The congressman will also be holding a Town Hall Meeting in Gonzales Monday evening. It is from 3:15-4:15 pm at the Azalea Estates Assisted Living and Retirement Community at 2305 S. Purpera Ave.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just in a need of new ideas.
I always eat salad where the protein is mainly tuna/chicken and carbs usually pasta/couscous
Then loads of the green stuff (leaves, cucumber, carrot, tomatoes) and occasionally broccoli/cauliflower/green beans.
But I'm bored. And running out of ideas.
Not keen on tin soups, occasionally might have one but I don't find them particularly tasty. And sometimes I'll have a baked potato from the canteen at work.
What do people have in their salads?
What do people eat for lunch?
I have some of last night's left overs. Friday was a variation on lasagne with the pasta replaced by thinly sliced potatoes
Throughout the winter I've cooked up big batches of home made veggie soup, and frozen them in lunch-sized pots to take into work and heat up for lunch. Faves are spicy butternut squash, brocolli and cauliflower and leek and potato. All healthy and low fat. I take in a piece of bread and butter too. My other fave is a humous and salad wrap and a miso soup.
Today I went to an all-day workshop so I took a mixed salad (with dressing in separate pot to avoid sogginess), a few leftover ravioli from last night's dinner, some beetroot, some puy lentils (with vinaigrette dressing poured over while still warm), and some leftover home-made quiche. Oh, and some apples and plums and a cereal bar. I get hungry.
I always take salad for lunch because I don't like to eat loads of stodgy things in the middle of the day and need green stuff, but will add some protein (not necessarily carbs) to stop me getting hungry: cold meat, hardboiled eggs, cheese, nuts, or a combination.
Salads can be filling if they are combined with protein and carbs. Trouble is that a lot of people tend to sacrifice those in preference for a bit of dressing or coleslaw which doesn't provide the same satisfaction. Not that I'm against dressing and coleslaw if that is what you really want
Slowkoala, I love those ideas!!
I'm crap with wraps. Just can't roll them and they always break.
I make a mess and lose my temper
chick pea and lentil stew with tomatoes and any veg iv got. or spinach and tomato salad with lentils and kidney beans and feta. mmmmmm. foooood.....
My most common salad is with spinach, eggs, smoked mackarel fillet warmed up, beetroot and peppers. If I haven't anything in the house I might buy Asda's ham and free range egg salad and add some cold chicken tikka pieces in it. Both I find filling enough till end of the day.
I usually go for pilchards and horseradish or tuna and grainy mustard with my salads. Or roast chicken leftovers are great. Just had some mackerel. I usually keep the salad simple, just leaves, tomatoes and various colour peppers but sometimes add red onion and black olives. If I'm off from work then I do like a nice cheesy omelette - lots of eggs - 4 medium or 3 large. Can't stand a mini omelette!
I made a lovely indian style lentil soup today... Thought I'd make enough for another day but I ended up eating it all for my tea, it was so lovely.
Now my whole house stinks of curry, my tummy is bloated, I'm full of gas and I'm going to stink of garlic tomorrow for the pleasure of my work colleagues.
And I'll have another salad for lunch.
No mention of any fruit? You can give a lift to a mixed green salad with a few strawberries, raspberries, or mandarin oranges. I often add half an avocado with the stone removed and the hole filled with shrimps.
I have thought of that, fruit.
But I often have a fruit salad mid afternoon as a separate snack
My salads I make and take regularly into work are a selection from:
Potato salad with parsley, capers, green chillies and chopped egg
Couscous salad with chargrilled Halloumi, fresh herbs and toasted seeds
Lentil salad with roasted red peppers and goat cheese
Greek salad (feta, tomatoes, rolives, red onion, cucumber, olive oil, French bread)
Salad leaves with sundried tomatoes, capers, toasted seeds
Rice noodle salad with marinated tofu, bean sprouts, fresh coriander, sesame seeds, broccoli, other vegetable strips
Home-made coleslaw - cabbage, carrot, apple with lemon juice, shallot, mayo
Peanut salad with shallot, ginger, chilli, lemon juice, lettuce or cucumber, tomatoes
Spicy peanut salad - shallot, tomatoes, chilli powder, lime juice
Waldorf salad
Various combinations involving chick peas
Butter bean and fennel
Moro's warm cauliflower salad
Moroccan carrot salad
All with appropriate dressings. I quite often put tahini in dressings and add chopped avocado and/or boiled egg to the salads.
Gazpacho is a good thing to take to work in the summer too.
I was going to suggest some bean and seed sprouts as well
Easy to do at home and a small tea spoon can produce a jar full
My favourite is a mixture of alfafa and broccoli sprouts - and puy lentil you can sproute most beans and seeds you can buy a big range of sourting stuff on line but all you need for equipment is empty jars with maybe some muslim over the top to make draingn less messy
That would make me gassy for a month

Evaluating Doctoral Programs: Which One is Right for You?
Start early and research each possible school carefully. Consider the following questions:
1. At what schools does your desired program exist?
- Peterson's.com: Use this website to search for graduate programs in your field of study and desired location. Come to the Career Development Center for the hard copy version of this directory (Peterson's Annual Guides to Graduate Study).
- California State University, Fresno: Review this website to see if your desired graduate program exists at Fresno State:
- Continue the Journey: This is a free booklet published by the Office of the President of the University of California. It contains information about admission requirements, opportunities for financial support, summer research programs, and graduate degree programs at each UC campus. While this booklet targets women and underrepresented minorities, it is useful to all students considering graduate study at the UC. For a PDF version, click here.
- EUREKA Online: This website is free for Fresno State students. It includes self assessment tools, college and university information (including graduate school programs), and financial aid information. Fresno State students can contact the Career Development Center for the Eureka Site ID code.
- Gradschools.com: This site provides graduate school information for over 58,000 programs. It is a comprehensive directory categorized by curriculum and subdivided by geography.
2. What are the school's requirements for admissions? (Some schools require work experience prior to graduate school.)
- CollegeSource® Online: This site compiled over 10,700 college catalogs in complete, cover to cover format; including 2-year, 4-year, graduate and professional school programs. Sign up on the site for a free trial usage.
- University 101: University 101 has compiled website information for over 4,000 colleges and universities. This website will usually take you to the school's homepage after which you can find information on admissions, course requirements, etc.
- Google Search: If you cannot find your program of interest in the above two ways, Google search the school, and find the homepage. Look for a tab that says "Academics" or "Programs" and you should be able to find your program. If not, find the general "Graduate Studies" department and call someone for assistance.
3. Is there a state residency requirement?
4. Does the school prefer degrees in specific subjects or are there course prerequisites?
5. What is the size of the faculty in your desired department? What is their reputation?

12. How does the graduate program rank nationally?
- Rank Grad Schools Based on Your Personal Criteria
- U.S. News & World Report Rankings
Remember it is also important to:
- Visit the campus
- Review the graduate catalogue
- Talk to current students
- Talk with an admissions representative

Edwards Wildman Palmer posted global revenues of $352.6m in 2011. Just over $40m of that figure came from the firm's London office, which is staffed by 28 partners and placed the firm at position 28 in The Lawyer's ranking of the Top 30 International firms in London by turnover.
In January 2013 the firm obtained approval to fully integrate its associated Hong Kong firm Lister Lo Lui & Choy and added local litigation capability by hiring partner John Yiu from Hong Kong firm ONC Lawyers.
Edwards Wildman established a presence in Hong Kong in 2006 and previously operated through an association with Lister Lo Lui & Choy. After gaining approval from the Hong Kong Law Society, the Hong Kong associated firm changed its name to Edwards Wildman Palmer on 1 January 2013 and has been fully integrated into the firm's international network. The changes permit the US firm to provide Hong Kong legal advice under its own brand.
Corporate partner John Lo, who joined the firm from King & Wood's Hong Kong office in 2011, serves as the partner-in-charge of the office.
Legacy firms Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge and 150-lawyer Chicago firm Wildman Harrold Allen & Dixon merged in 2011 to form Edwards Wildman Palmer.

Nick Clegg's wife has paid tribute to the Evening Standard's literacy campaign.
Miriam González said the drive to boost reading in the capital is exactly what newspapers should be doing.
She spoke last night at a reception to celebrate 20 years of Bookstart, an organisation that gives free books to babies and toddlers.
Children's author Dame Jacqueline Wilson, who wrote the Tracy Beaker novels, also spoke at the event at Lancaster House, St James's.
The writer has also supported the Evening Standard's Get London Reading campaign, saying she was "desperately sad" when it was revealed that one in three children does not own a book.
Thanks to the literacy campaign an army of volunteer reading mentors was sent into schools to give one-to- one support to children who are struggling.

PNC Park vendor with 46 years of service works MLB All Star Game
Updated:PITTSBURGH (AP) (AP)ong> - As a teen, Bobby Faloon hitched rides to work with the likes of Roberto Clemente.
"He'd make sure I had a ride every day across the Bloomfield Bridge," recalled Faloon, 59, of Dormont, who started vending at Pirates games in the 1960s at Forbes Field. "He'd give me advice, you know? Be a good kid and all that, stay in school, stay out of trouble.
"I listened. Back then, it wasn't easy. There were a lot of guys running around in the streets, and I came from a rough neighborhood. But I always remembered what those guys — Clemente, Ernie Banks, Willie Stargell — what they told me.
"They were good to me. They always took care of me."
Aramark, the food and beverage contractor at PNC Park and 10 other Major League Baseball parks, is taking care of him.
Faloon is in New York City this week to work at baseball's annual All-Star game festivities at Citi Field, home of the Mets. Aramark selected him as one of 11 All-Star vendors. With 46 years of service, he has the longest tenure.
Faloon worked at the Home Run Derby on Monday and the All-Star game on Tuesday. While in New York, Faloon and other All-Star vendors will visit underprivileged kids at the Queens Community House in Flushing.
Faloon was a kid when he started his career of selling refreshments to fans.
"Back then, you had to be 13," he said. "I applied when I was 11, but they said I had to wait. So I sold newspapers outside Forbes until I was old enough."
Now beer is more expensive, and access to players is not what it used to be, Faloon said, noting that the likes of Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker, while "great guys," don't pull over and offer him rides to the park.
What hasn't changed is Faloon, lugging a 25-pound tray of beer up and down the aisles along the first base line, kneeling down to pop open a can when a fan raises a finger.
"Bob's one of the greatest," said Pirates fan Daniel Congdon, 54, of McKees Rocks. "He's in shape, he's really pleasant with the customers, and he's an honest guy. He's the best in the business."
Paul Hensler, 52, of Mt. Lebanon said he lets other beer vendors pass by.
"I've known Bob a lot of years," Hensler said in his seats behind the visitor's dugout. "He's personable, friendly. . I'll wait for him just so we can talk a little."
When Faloon gets to talking, he has stories.
He recalls a series in the '60s against the Dodgers when Don Drysdale pitched one game and fellow Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax took the hill for the next.
"'Don't leave,' they say, 'cause when I start talking I start remembering," Faloon said of his regular customers. "I remember everything from back then, and then I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday."
With his seniority and vendor ID 001, Faloon gets first pick of what he sells (always Miller Lite) and where (always along the first base line, lower level).
When he started, it wasn't so easy, he said.
"They'd give me Coke when it was 10 degrees and hot chocolate when it was 80. That's how seniority works," he said. "But I could still sell it. Whatever they gave me, I sold it."
He believes the first rule to being a good vendor is to hustle.
"That's No. 1," he said, pausing between innings to drink a bottle of water as sweat drips off his nose. "I've always been able to hustle, no matter what. And you have to have a strong voice, good legs and a good personality."
In the third inning of a game the Pirates would win in 11 against the Mets, Faloon stood near the right field corner and scanned the faces in another standing-room only crowd. The Bucs' winning ways have started a buzz at the ballpark, he said, an electricity that reminds him of better days in the '70s, when the Pirates last won the World Series.
"Lot of families tonight," he said. "I can't wait to get to the ballpark when it's like this."
He paused. "I think this year's going to be different. I think they're going to hold up this time. They're not going to fold like the last couple years."
He picked up his tray of beers and resumed walking up and down the aisles, shouting into the warm night: "Miller Lite, here — heeeey, Miller Lite."

You may need to change the file paths to match your Mac's setup. A more typical path on OS X looks like this
/Users/ronanconroy/Documents/Consult files/Jacent Asiimwe/New attendance data
Note that there's no double-slashes.
Try using shift-command-J to change to the correct folder and seeing what the file path looks like when Stata echos the command.

I Saw a City Invincible: Urban Portraits of Latin America
€ 28,49
Bisher € 30,08
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Oktober 1995
BeschreibungWhen the Spaniards settled in Latin America, they immediately surrounded themselves with cities. Equating civilization with urban existence, the early conquerors of the New World rapidly established themselves as urban lords. Latin American cities then became synonymous with Spanish power and all of its privileged attributes: political authority, ecclesiastical activity, commerce, finance, and conspicuous consumption. This volume represents some of the most enduring reflections on the Latin American city. All of the essays were written by public officials, journalists, and social commentators, among others, who participated actively in the affairs of the cities they so perceptively describe. The collection offers critical analyses spanning hundreds of years, beginning with the era of the conquistadores in Tenochtitl n and continuing to the deafening bustle of today's urban crowds in Mexico City. Professors Gilbert Joseph and Mark Szuchman offer translations of classic pieces by writers previously little known to Western audiences: Cobo, Garc a, Santos Vilhena, and Leite de Barros.
InhaltsverzeichnisChapter 1 The City as Vision-The Development of Urban Culture in Latin America Chapter 2 Daily Life of the Aztecs on the Eve of the Spanish Conquest Chapter 3 The Aztecs Under Spanish Rule Chapter 4 Viceregal Lima in the Seventeenth Century Chapter 5 Colonial Buenos Aires Chapter 6 Bahia in the Late Colonial Period Chapter 7 Bogot* in the Nineteenth Century Chapter 8 Lima in the Nineteenth Century Chapter 9 Buenos Aires in the Early Twentieth Century Chapter 10 The Transformation of S"o Paulo Chapter 11 Another Sao Paulo Chapter 12 Mexico's Megalopolis
PressestimmenA particular virtue of the texts chosen is that they not only describe Bogota, Lima, and Buenos Aires, but give us a window into the thinking of contemporary observers as to the complex meaning of urban life-as both an avatar of modernization, and as modern dystopia. -- Eric Van Young, University of California, San Diego

Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forests, also known as Cattaraugus Reforestation Areas #5 and #8, covers approximately 6,229 acres. These state forests are located in Cattaraugus County in the Towns of Mansfield, Little Valley, Ellicottville and Great Valley. This unit shares its boundary lines with two major ski areas and is near Ellicottville, New York--a place that has become a year-round destination resort area. The most common recreational uses of this area are hunting, hiking, mountain bike riding, skiing, snowshoeing, orienteering, camping and snowmobile riding. These state forests also have a rich history which has shaped the way they look today.
State Forests in New York comprise almost 700,000 acres. In southwestern New York there are 97,000 acres more or less of state forest. In addition, there are Wildlife Management Areas, Multiple Use Areas and Unique Areas managed by DEC. State parks are not under DEC management. Since this area has a lot of recreational activity some people do confuse this with a state park but it is in fact a actively managed forest by DEC. These state forests are managed for multiple uses and are a source of raw material for New York's forest products industry which provides employment and income for many New Yorkers. They are managed for wildlife by the creation and maintenance of various habitats for many wildlife species. They are managed to provide recreational opportunities and for watershed protection.
Our forests are "Green Certified" meaning all ecological aspects are looked at when timber harvests are conducted. It is not uncommon to use things like trail and stream buffers to protect ecological, historical and aesthetic assets on the property during these harvests.
North Country Trail
The North Country Scenic Trail crosses this property. Coming from Route 353 the trail crosses a historic stone bridge built around 1840. This bridge is not on state land but on the foot trail right-of-way. The trail passes through a part of Little Rock City where it intersects with a nature trail through the rock area. The North Country Trail continues down to CCC Camp Seneca then over the hill near the new snow making ponds on the adjacent Holiday Valley ski area property and down old Canfield Hill Road to Holimont Ski Club. The Finger Lakes Trail Club and Foothills Trail Club have adopted this trail. For more information on these trails you can visit their websites by going to the links on the right -hand column of this page.
Little Rock City Nature Trail
There is one nature trail that goes through Little Rock City. Little Rock City is a natural outcrop of conglomerate rock on an unglaciated plateau. It is located at the end of Little Rock City Forest Road. This is one of three "rock cities" in Cattaraugus County. The others are Rock City, south of Olean, and Thunder Rocks in Allegany State Park. A "rock city" is a rock formation with large rocks with narrow pathways between the rocks that may resemble city streets to some people. Please do not climb on mossy rocks or damage any plants in this natural area as many plants that exist around the rocks are unique to this ecological unit. Access to this trail is from the end of Little Rock City Forest Road at the turn-around loop. This trail is a loop trail through the rocks and intersects the North Country Scenic Trail where it can be followed back to the Little Rock City Forest Road. Please do not ride bikes or horses in this area.
Camp Seneca Loop Trail - This is a loop trail that starts near the pond at Camp Seneca and links into the North Country Trail. The east side of this loop is also called the Billygoat Trail on the WNYMBA map. The North Country Trail connects Little Rock City and Camp Seneca. Starting from Camp Seneca you can hike the Camp Seneca Loop Trail and hike to Little Rock City or follow the various other multiple-use trails all over the Unit.
Hiking can also be done on all mountain biking trails--see the mountain biking section below for more information.
Trails are planned to minimize impacts to the forest environment and to not conflict with other management objectives while providing a pleasant and interesting hike, ride or snowshoe.
Organized trail events need to have their coordinators obtain a Temporary Revocable Permit for use of the trails prior to the event. These can be obtained at the Allegany DEC Office at 716-372-0645.
A snowmobile trail enters the state forest at the end of Eagle Forest Road near the Ellicottville School. It climbs the hill to a forest road, to Mutton Hollow Road, over and down the hill to the west and then the trail continues over Murder Hill. The Cattaraugus County Federation of Snowmobile Clubs has adopted this trail.
Mountain Biking
A network of mountain bike / multiple-use trails cover this Unit. Multiple trail heads exist and access to these can be made from adjacent ski areas as well as from parking areas on the State Forests. These trails are excellent hiking trails--some can be used for cross country skiing or snowshoeing but the steep terrain in places can be challenging for this type of activity. Most of these trails require a high level of mountain bike riding skill. They are a great ride if you are an expert rider and are also great hiking trails. The Western New York Mountain Bicycling Association has adopted these trails. They have trail maps and more information at the WNYMBA website. Organized bike events require a Temporary Revocable Permit which can be obtained by contacting the Allegany DEC Forestry Office at 716-372-0645.
Skiing and Snowshoeing
All trails may be used. Trails can be steep and rocky in some areas but there are flat parts at the top of the plateau. Access is usually from the ski areas but you can also snowshoe or ski up the snow-covered town roads if you desire an easier terrain.
Horseback Riding
There are no approved horse trails that exist on this area but forest roads and skid trails may be used.
Hunting and Fishing
Hunting is allowed on Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forests. Terrain can be rugged in some areas so walking up and down hills is part of the hunting experience. Access is good using forest roads and multi-use trails to many areas. Forest management has provided a variety of habitats to hunt. Fishing is not a major activity due to lack of streams and ponds in the area.
Hunting is very popular on this Unit but with over 6,000 acres to hunt on this unit some hiking will take you to areas that do not have a lot of other hunters. See the Hunting page for more information.
There are camp sites available with covered picnic tables at Camp Seneca and Little Rock City recreation areas. Rock City camp area has four available sites like the one pictured that are tent camping only. Camping is allowed at designated sites only and there is no water supply (look for yellow camp disks at sites). Build fires in designated rock fire rings and not on roads, turn-around areas, picnic tables, or anywhere else that will cause damage or leave a mess to clean up. There is no garbage pick up at these sites; this area is carry in - carry out only!
On other areas of these state forests you can set up camp as long as you are 150 feet away from a road, trail, stream or waterbody.
Look for our yellow "camp here" disks which designate camp sites on the property. Please see maps for general locations. For map locations of Rock City and Camp Seneca as well as other camp locations please view the camp map at the top of the page.
Geo caching can be done on state forests and more information on how can be found in the February 2005 conservationist article High-Tech Hide-and-Seek: Geocaching.
State Forest Regulations
Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forests offer a variety of recreational opportunities. State lands belong to all of us. Help care for this area and enhance the enjoyment of it for yourself and those who follow by observing these simple guidelines:
- What you carry in - carry out. Leave the area cleaner than you found it. Burying of refuse is prohibited.
- If you are planning to camp for more than three nights or have a group of ten or more, obtain a permit from a forest ranger. Do not camp within 150 feet of water, roads or trails.
- If you build a fire, do so with care and use wood from dead and down trees only.
- All motorized vehicles are restricted to access roads posted as motor vehicle trails. Off-road use of motorized vehicles, such as ATVs, trail bikes and four-wheel drives, is not permitted.
- No permanent structures shall be established, including tree stands or blinds.
Early History
Before this property was in state ownership it was home to native American people who considered what is now called Rock City a sacred place. They managed forests for food such as acorns, hickory nuts and chestnuts that they could eat and food for the animals that they hunted. Fire was the main tool used to clear land for growing their food. As a result oak trees are very common in this state forest due to acorns needing bare mineral soil to sprout which was created by these forest fires. After settlers came this area was used mainly as farmland and forest. In these early days a couple of exploratory or so called "wildcat" oil wells were drilled near the present CCC Forest Road but were not a success. Areas of this state forest were cleared for farming--some areas were pasture and some areas appear to have stayed in forest cover. Almost all of the forest on these properties were clear cut for chemical wood by about 1910. Most of this work was done in the winter with teams of horses and provided work at that time of the year when other farm work could not be done. Most of the area is rocky and did not prove to be good farm land so most farming ended by the 1930s at about the time New York State started buying property for reforestation.
The Civilian Conservation Era
During the late 1920s and 1930s the New York State Legislature authorized the acquisition of lands outside the Adirondack and Catskill Park boundaries for the purposes of reforestation, wildlife management, recreation and watershed protection. The Environmental Conservation Law authorizes acquisition of lands outside the boundaries of the Adirondack and Catskill Park " ...for reforestation and establishment and maintenance thereon of forests for watershed protection, the production of timber and other forest products, and for recreation and kindred purposes...which shall be forever devoted to the planting, growth and harvesting of such trees as shall be deemed by the commissioner best suited for the lands to be forested."
As result the 1930s the Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forest Unit became the site of many work projects carried out by the Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC. The CCC, established by the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, provided employment opportunities for young men during the depression. CCC projects included the construction of roads and the planting of thousands of pine, larch and spruce trees in the open areas on the property.
On Rock City State Forest a CCC camp was built by the CCCs and was called Camp Seneca. CCC camps were run by the US Army and were laid out like Army camps of that time period. The stone-lined walkways to the barracks are still visible today and a few have been restored. Norway spruce seedlings were planted as landscape trees along the walkways by the CCCs and are now large, mature trees that can be seen today. A pond that supplied water to the camp and to the tree nursery is still visible as well.
Water was pumped from the pond up to the top of a series of terraces--these terraces were used to grow the tree seedlings. The terraces were arranged so the water would flow from one terrace down to the next by gravity flow until all the new trees were watered. The seed beds are now over grown with forest but with careful inspection they can be located today.
CCC camps were segregated camps during this time period as were Army camps. Camp Seneca was an example of this segregation by having all African-American enrollees who were instructed by white officers of the US ARMY. David Findlay was a New York State Forester assigned to Camp Seneca. The site of Camp Seneca is used as a recreation site today. Picnic tables and a small pavilion are located where some of the main buildings of the CCC camp were located. Some of the local projects done by the camp residents were building parts of what are now Hungry Hollow Road, CCC Forest Road and Little Rock City Forest Road.
"Little Rock City" History
Little Rock City is an area at the end of Rock City Forest Road that has a unique area of large boulders and has been a tourist attraction for many years. In the horse and buggy days access to the rocks was from what is now called the Stone Chimney Road off Route 353. This road was an old buggy road formally called the Rock City Road. It crossed a stone bridge which was built sometime around 1840 that still exists today. This old road is now part of the North County Trail which crosses this bridge on the section of the trail from the Stone Chimney road at the golf course to "Little Rock City".
Historically people would come to Little Valley on the train, stay at the Rock City Hotel or other hotels in the area and then ride in a buggy to Little Rock City. Later this road was abandoned and during the period of the CCCs the enrollees at Camp Seneca built a new road to "Little Rock City" and other roads to the camp to replace the old Rock City Road.
How the rocks came to be in Little Rock City
Little Rock City tells a story; a geologic story stretching from hundreds of millions of years ago all the way to the present. It tells of huge mountain ranges that no longer exist. Of rivers, oceans and beaches long gone. The story is waiting in the rocks for the curious to discover. Descending into Little Rock City from the picnic area or approaching on the Conservation Trail leads to an immediate observation: the rocks are big and blocky. A short hike further leads to narrow passages between boulders draped with mosses, lichens and ferns. The air there is cooler, darker and dank. Sounds muffled. The conscientious hiker sticks to the marked trail or steps carefully to avoid injuring delicate ground vegetation. Touch the rock to feel the sand and pebble composition. How did the rock form? Why here? Why is it called a "rock city?" How does it create a special environment for life?
It could be said that it all began with a shallow sea hundreds of millions of years ago - that is the typical beginning of a geologic discussion of Western New York. But the conglomerate rock of Little Rock City formed on a beach at the edge of that sea. The conglomerate is younger than the vast majority of rock in Western New York. Typical sea bottom fossils like brachiopods and corals are hard to find. By the time the conglomerate formed, the sea had filled in with sediment and a beach was present. Quite a bit of sand but those milky white quartz pebbles in the conglomerate rock are the clue that it was a beach. Their telltale shape - not spherical but flattened is characteristic of a high energy beach environment. Every wave slides a pebble against the pebble beneath, weathering both to flat surfaces. Later, add some naturally occurring silica cement and compaction from overlying sediments and voila - conglomerate rock is born from a beach. The photo at right is a close up of round quartz pebbles in the conglomerate rock found at Little Rock City.
So yes, a sea or ocean is part of the story but it was the shore and specifically the beach that gave birth to the conglomerate we now see as Little Rock City. The late Devonian shore 370 million years ago was generally oriented on a North South line. The Acadian Mountains soared high to our East and Southeast in what is now New England and New Jersey. Finer sediment like clay had been transported down rivers to the ocean where it slowly settled, filling in the ocean. That clay became the shale so prevalent in much of the Western Southern Tier. But now coarser sediments like sand and pebbles were being deposited near the shore. It is that sediment from which the conglomerate largely formed. The roots of the Acadian Mountains still outcrop in New England and that bedrock belies the source rock for most of those pebbles. However, an occasional red jasper pebble can be found in the conglomerate of Little Rock City.
Jasper pebble in conglomerate Interestingly, that jasper matches the composition of some bedrock near present day Lake Superior. But Lake Superior is to our northwest today and the white quartz pebbles came from almost the opposite direction. What's going on?
All of North America was rotated about 450 clockwise during the Devonian, meaning that source region of jasper was north of us. And Eastern North America was just north of the equator. Prevailing planetary winds similar to present day trade winds probably set up a longshore current which transported jasper pebbles to our area. So sediment was being moved by two methods: rivers flowing down the Acadians and ocean currents along a shore. Both from different directions. This rather complex scenario would be difficult to explain if not for the Theory of Continental Drift. Indeed, Little Rock City provides evidence for continental drift. Another interesting feature of Little Rock City is the superb examples of what happens when waves wash sediment from different directions. A crisscross pattern of deposition called crossbedding results.
Photo at right shows Crossbedding in directions shown by arrows.
Try to guess which way waves broke on the beach to make the patterns you see. During your next vacation to a beach, compare the patterns to what you see. So far we've focused on formation of conglomerate rock that makes up Little Rock City. But what happened afterward? How did the conglomerate end up 2200 feet above sea level and broken into huge squared off blocks resembling the blocks of a city? The conglomerate was once buried under thousands of feet of sedimentary rock, similar in composition to rock still found around Allegany State Park and in Pennsylvania. In fact, Thunder Rocks in the Park and Olean Rock City both have rounded quartz pebbles, deposited in streams when the shoreline and beach were further west. This overlying rock was eroded away after the Alleghanian Orogeny, or mountain building, uplifted Eastern North America about 290 million years ago. It was this event, resulting from the collision of North America and Africa that formed the supercontinent Pangaea. During erosion, the release of pressure allowed the conglomerate to expand and crack. These cracks, called joints, along with joints formed by horizontal compression during the orogeny itself, resulted in two sets of intersecting perpendicular lines which, through weathering, widened to become the pathways separating the blocks we see today. Joints trend southeast-northwest and southwest-northeast, like carefully planned city streets.
Contrary to popular belief, Pleistocene glaciations did not move the rocks of Little Rock City to their present locations. They are not glacial erratics from Canada. They belong to the immediate bedrock of the Little Rock City area. If glaciers had overridden the area, the boulders would have been carried southward, obliterating Little Rock City. In this way, Little Rock City tells us something about the extent of our last glaciation.
Lastly, Little Rock City creates a special environment for life. The quartz pebbles, sand and cement gluing together the conglomerate rock weathers to form an acidic soil. Soil pH has been measured among the rocks and found to be around 5.6. Outside of Little Rock City, pH was found to be near a neutral reading of 7.
Photo at left shows student measuring soil pH near Little Rock City.
The shady, moist conditions among the rocks also create lower temperatures, higher relative humidity and lower light conditions than surrounding woods. It's not unusual to find snow in the narrow passages between rocks as late as mid May. These environmental conditions are more similar to the Adirondacks and several plant species common at Little Rock City are also common in those mountains of Northern New York. They include Clintonia, painted trillium, polypody fern, and rock tripe. Please be careful not to disturb these locally rare species while visiting Little Rock City. The last two species are especially sensitive to people climbing on the rocks. Let others enjoy this special gem of Western New York.

Other Historic Notes
Mutton Hollow Road was given that name because the top of the hill near Holiday Valley Ski area was a sheep ranch or farm in 1910. Areas that may have mature trees on them today had very short grass on them at that time.
This area has been managed to provide young forest habitat as well as stands of older trees. This unit contains a good mix of sizes and species of trees. Forest openings and regenerated stands of new trees that grow rapidly provide habitats for game and non-game species. Management for a variety of habitats will continue. Due to the large number of oak and hickory trees this is a great area to view wildlife such as turkey, deer, bear and squirrel. Occasionally you may flush a grouse in young forest management areas that have been recently harvested.
Tornado Damage of 2010
In late summer of 2010 a tornado touched down on this state forest area off Hungry Hollow Road. It leveled 80 acres of mature forest that was then put out to bid for a salvage timber sale. The logging company will take what wood is usable for lumber and the rest will become course woody debris and create habitat for wildlife and also put nutrients back into the soil for future forest growth. Currently this sale has been completed and the forest will now be allowed to regenerate on its own. This site can be viewed from Hungry Hollow Road or from the bike trail off Little Rock City Road. It is a reminder of how powerful mother nature is and how management practices we do also mimic natural disturbances that occur in the landscape such as this one. This area had not been managed since the chemical wood clear cuts of the early 1900s. Tree species affected include black cherry, sugar maple, red maple, basswood, oak and white ash. It will be interesting to watch this area mature again into northern hardwood species while providing some quality habitat for deer, turkey and grouse.
Timber Management
The hardwood forests at Rock City and McCarty Hill are managed to grow timber, maintain diverse wildlife habitats and provide recreational opportunities while protecting water quality.
The existing forest stands are for the most part even-age stands that have resulted from the earlier clear cuts or land clearing for farming. Because of earlier clear cuts that allowed the establishment of Allegany hardwood tree species long time forest management, excellent growing sites and a climate make these forest stands some of the best in New York State.
Allegany hardwood stands are unique to northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York. They usually consist of black cherry, white ash, red maple, sugar maple and other species. The other species may include red oak, tulip popular, basswood, beech, birch and a mix of other northern hardwoods.
Transition oak stands contain red oak, red maple and a mix of other hardwoods. Transition oak stands will gradually become other types of hardwood stands if they are not managed to reproduce oak. White oak is not common here nor is white pine but both exist on this unit in areas. Oak, white pine and hemlock are not as valuable for timber as are some other hardwoods but they are important for species diversity and therefore are maintained in managed stands. Hardwood trees are not usually planted as they spread vast amounts of seed and naturally regenerate.
Thinning of the forest through the sale of forest products gives the residual trees more growing space. This helps to keep the forest healthy and provides openings for new seedlings, a revolving supply of food and cover for wildlife and source of future crop trees. Some stands will contain large trees, giving an illusion of old growth, but are not in almost all cases. These stands have been harvested prior to state ownership or managed during state ownership to favor large trees. Many stands are mature and ready to be regenerated. This is usually done by a thinning to promote regeneration of new seedlings and then later followed by an overstory removal. Forest stands that are dominated by species that require direct sunlight for reproduction such as black cherry, ash and red oak are managed in this way.
Forest stands that contain oak species may require the use of fire or other types of disturbance to maintain this forest type. Due to competition on these excellent growing sites transition oak stands will require a great deal of effort to maintain for species diversity.
The property has stands of pine, larch and spruce that were planted in old farm fields as they need open areas with direct sunlight to thrive. These have been or will be converted to hardwoods by removal of the conifer overstory and allowing the naturally occurring hardwood seedlings to grow to maturity. Many conifer stands have been harvested on this unit and converted to young hardwood stands and this type of management will continue.
From Little Valley take Route 242 which travels through the forest on the west side of Murder Hill. From Route 353 at Elkdale take Whig Street. Then take a right turn at the Whig Street Church onto Hungry Hollow Road which will take you to the top of the hill for access to the Little Rock City Forest Road or over the hill to Camp Seneca. If you go straight on Whig Street and take a right at the fork this will take you to the North Country Trail head near the Cattaraugus County communications tower.
From Great Valley take County Road 38, Mutton Hollow Road ,to the same location. From 219 just north of Salamanca take Hungry Hollow Road. This will take you past Camp Seneca and up to the Little Rock City Forest Road. CCC Forest Road connects Hungry Hollow and Mutton Hollow Roads.
