The HERBS AMERICA COMPANY and MACA MAGIC were founded by Jerome River Black. He was the first to cultivate and distribute live maca root plants in the USA and began germplasm collections and cultivar selection of maca in the Peruvian Altiplano in 1994. In addition to his studies of maca in the Peruvian highlands, Jerome is a published ethnobotanist with a myriad of expertise and an extensive history of working within a variety of botanical experiences. He has explored remote rivers, lakes, and forests in dozens of exotic countries, his travels having taken him to the depths of steamy jungles and the tops of 20 thousand foot mountains...
He is the award winner of the Natural Foods Institute "Best New Plants" Award and the subject of numerous articles about plant exploration. He regularly lectures and teaches others about new and rare foodcrop development. Jerry currently resides with his family in the lovely rural area of Murphy, Oregon, surrounded by acres of land containing thousands of varrieties of rare plants from around the world.
Over the course of nearly 20 years, HERBS AMERICA'S founders have used USDA agriculture and agro forestry permits to develop more than 400 rare fruits and new superfoods for introduction into the farming sector and natural foods market. To accomplish this HERBS AMERICA works directly with botanists, tribal leaders, universities, and laboratories to cultivate and research traditional medicines which are found to be beneficial for both humans and the land. Our goal is to bring equitability to small farming operations in developing countries and support indigenous populations in their efforts of preserving culture and environment while at the same time supporting agrarian economies. Working in more than thirty countries around the world, the company donates and exports fruit trees and vegetable seeds to dozens of farmers in countries on several continents.
Our long term philosopy commits us to our product lines long after they leave the farms and jungles. We like to say: "Eat well! Think well! Live close to nature and work for the good of the community!" We believe that traditional wisdom and modern science can combine important resources for a long term vision of biological health. We are adamant in our support of indigenous land rights and sustainable agriculture.

In a special end of year edition, guest critics Eddie Cockrell (Variety, The Australian) and Philippa Hawker (The Age) join Jason to discuss - and disagree on - their favourite releases of the year, including Mystery Road, Frances Ha, The Act of Killing and American Hustle.
This [series episode segment] has
This sequel is not as good as the first Anchorman, weighed down as it is by a more self conscious need to deliver a "message".
Go rent Zoolander instead.
Fun but also more emotionally dense than I expected.
Firth and Kidman are underutilised. History buffs might disagree.
A well acted, funny and moving road movie that will renew your faith in Boxing Day releases.
The film is a kind of hustle in itself – a brash, seductive sell, with just that niggling doubt that what's in the box doesn't quite live up to the hype.
You get the feeling that producer Christine Vachon, one of the pioneers of American New Queer Cinema, gravitated to the project from first time writer-director John Krokidas, because of the interesting grey zones in the story.
Documentary filmmaker Dennis O'Rourke died in June this year aged 67, leaving behind a body of work that sits at the apex of Australian observational documentary...
I haven't seen many films that deal with teenage alcoholism in such a subtle and non hysterical way.
Just a few days after seeing the new film, there's no lasting memory, no aftertaste.
Fascinating, sometimes funny and occasionally—as it steers away from doco drama into some near-Bunuelian flashes—completely off the wall.
Channels the sinister glamour and stomach churning paranoia of a dystopian future under a fascist regime, and portrays a very cynical world of celebrity.
After May has an astounding ability to incorporate opposing points of view, resisting the temptation to take sides, even between political foes or lovers.
It plays better than it sounds, largely thanks to the believable erotic charge between the two unlikely pairings. But...
A plot twist about half way through sends the world into a crisis – more in the mould of screwball farce than hospital emergency room drama. Some excruciatingly awkward moments follow.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Julian Assange as an absolute wanker.
Ego and paranoia, cruelty and despair evoked with a cinematic swagger and audacity that you will either love or find irredeemably over the top.
An intriguing film containing moments where characters reflect on big philosophical questions.
It's hard not to like this story of quiet struggle even as it frustrates with some hackneyed resolutions.
Writer-director Ursula Meier, working with Clair Denis' long-time cinematographer Agnes Godard, conjures a fairytale magic, and a sense of life distilled to core emotional elements
You feel a certain empathy with these reluctant villains, dressed in sandals, looking impossibly thin and brandishing ancient AK 47s. Until of course they're placed alongside Tom Hanks.
While the retro aesthetic sometimes feels gimmicky, it's wonderfully acted with a standout performance from Y Tu Mama Tambien's Maribel Verdu'...
This is the sort of cringe worthy comedy the British excel at.

Guns, No Butter, At Martin MariettaDean Foust
In Augustine's Laws, his 1983 book of management aphorisms, Martin Marietta CEO Norman R. Augustine advises fellow executives to try to control their destinies. "It is better to be the reorganizer than the reorganizee," he cautions.
No one seems more intent on heeding that advice than Augustine himself. As the wrenching defense restructuring continues, he is making it clear that Martin Marietta Corp., based in Bethesda, Md., intends to be a leading survivor. On Mar. 7, Martin launched a $1.9 billion friendly tender offer for the stock of Grumman Corp., a once proud maker of Navy combat aircraft that has struggled since military spending peaked in the mid-1980s.
While deep Pentagon budget cuts have prompted rivals such as Honeywell, Ford, and General Electric to retreat from some defense activities, and led others to diversify into civilian markets, Augustine is doubling his bets on military business.
PROMISING LINE. Even before the Grumman announcement, the 58-year-old former Pentagon official had agreed to spend $3.2 billion to acquire General Electric Co.'s aerospace division and General Dynamics Corp.'s rocket business. Those mergers--which give the company $13 billion in revenues and a backlog of $22.7 billion--make Martin Marietta the world's largest defense electronics company and one of the largest military contractors. Augustine dismisses the notion that defense is a dying business. Recent turmoil abroad "offers even more reason for a strong defense budget," he says.
While integrating yet another corporate culture into Martin is a daunting challenge, the acquisition of Grumman strengthens the company in a promising military line--defense electronics. Martin has historically supplied Army ground forces. Grumman bolsters the company's ties with the Navy, a likely beneficiary of a Pentagon push for a more nimble fighting force. The merger "broadens [Martin's] client base just as the military is moving toward the rapid-deployment strategy," says Thomas Meagher, defense analyst for brokerage Ehrenkrantz, King, Nussbaum.
Although Grumman, based on New York's Long Island, is all but out of the airframe business, it owns some lucrative contracts (table). One is J-STARS, an airborne surveillance system that uses modified Boeing 707s to detect and track enemy tanks, helicopters, and troops. Analysts say J-STARS could be worth up to $10 billion in revenues over 10 years.
The Grumman deal also positions Martin for a foray into such military-derived civilian markets as wireless communications and tracking systems for commercial aviation. Analysts believe that by melding the pieces acquired from GE, General Dynamics, and Grumman, Martin will become the only U.S. company that can build satellites, launch them, and operate them. "Martin Marietta is creating a monopoly--almost a cartel--in space systems," says Richard Bitzinger, an industry analyst for the Defense Budget Project, a Washington research group.
For Grumman, the merger closes the book on one of the most storied names in defense history. When the end of the cold war left the military with a glut of aircraft in the early 1990s, Grumman watched helplessly as the Pentagon halted production of its A-6 carrier-based bombers and F-14 interceptors and canceled the A/F-X, the company's next-generation attack plane. Grumman directors saw the company losing its critical mass. "This was going to make it very, very difficult to compete," says Grumman Chairman Renso L. Caporali.
ROSY VIEW. Merger talks between Grumman and Northrop Corp. fell apart as recently as late February when Northrop couldn't come up with enough cash, according to Grumman filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. Augustine, by contrast, was flush. So he walked away with Grumman for a mere 58% of sales, says Morgan Stanley & Co. analyst Philip Friedman. In the 1980s, similar purchases fetched as much as two times sales. The depressed stock price--or inside information about the deal--led investors to buy up Grumman options and stock just before the merger announcement. The SEC is investigating.
For Augustine, the deal is a calculated gamble. The defense budget seems to have stabilized: While Pentagon spending on procurement and research has tumbled 39% from its 1987 peak to $91.2 billion this year, President Clinton recently pledged that he will not cut defense further.
But the future of post-cold-war defense budgets isn't assured, and even cheap assets could be no bargain. Augustine "has purchased some interesting properties, but they may have outlived their usefulness," warns one industry consultant.
Martin's chief remains sanguine about the prospects for the future. But he has to worry that his flurry of defense bottom-fishing doesn't violate his own 33rd law: "Fools rush in where incumbents fear to bid."

Dear diary, keeping you has had surprising benefits ...
Experts believe that the benefits of keeping a diary go much further than helping track highs and lows. There are a number of health benefits to be had from writing expressively.
There's nothing like putting pen to paper to instil you with a sense of optimism, anticipation and excitement about your goals or aspirations. Writing something down always makes it more real, more concrete than merely thinking it.
Benefits of a diary
Professor James Pennebaker, from the University of Texas in Austin, has carried out numerous experiments on the health benefits of writing expressively (nope, we're not talking about a chronological record of events ...). He has shown that regular writing can bolster the immune system, help you recover from traumatic events more successfully and ease stress and depression.
In his research, people who had survived traumatic events and wrote about their experiences for 20 minutes a day, three to four times a week, visited the doctor half as much as those who didn't write.
The journal writers demonstrated a more vigorous antibody response to bacteria and viruses and produced less cortisol, a stress hormone.
In another study - published in the Journal of the American Medical Association - sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis and asthma who wrote about life events they'd found highly stressful experienced a significant reduction in symptoms of their diseases. And it's not all just about "feeling better". Students who were asked to write about emotional topics in the journals showed improved grades in one research project, and absentee rates went down in a group of university staff members after they wrote about their emotions and experiences. Experts believe this may be because sitting down and writing about the thoughts and emotions cramming your head force you to reflect on them and put them in some kind of order, so that you master the situation.
Don't dwell on the past
But not all experts recommend dwelling on traumatic events. In fact, research at Glasgow Caledonian University found that people who were regular journal-keepers suffered more headaches, digestive problems and sleeplessness than non-writers - particularly those who consistently churned over their problems rather than opting for a single, cathartic outpouring. But there was no way of telling whether the journal-keepers simply had more traumas to cope with in the first place. And Pennebaker says, suppression of emotions, particularly negative ones, reduces the immune system response, while expressing them enhances it.
Your own journal
The key to successful dairy writing is to use it for your own needs. If you want to write about past hurts, disappointments or traumas, do so. If you'd rather write about the here and now, day-to-day dilemmas and frustrations, or your aspirations for the year ahead, do that. The beauty of a diary is that it is for you and you alone.
Which brings us to the question, should you read your own diary? Some experts believe that reading through what you've written is useful, helping you to spot repetitive patterns of thought or behaviour, and helping you make sense of situations and put them in perspective. But others feel that merely committing the words to paper is what is important - not reflecting on them afterwards.
Happy writing.

User Ratings & Opinions
|Good case
User: Malcolm T, Sep 9, 2016
A bumper case is what you need, when the phone falls, it always hits on on a corner or edge. This bumper case protects the phone well. It fits on snugly, but can be changed out if you need to without a struggle. It is a bit wider than the phone, so it raises the back or the screen from a surface the phones resting on.
Works well, Im quite happy with it.
|Nice bumper case
User: Nilson F, Apr 14, 2016
|This bumper case fits nice. The buttons get pressed good when pushed. It is raised raised a bit that way you can put the phone down on a table and it wont get scratched. Would recommend

It simply means when a man is horny or ''hard''. A ''soldier'' is a man's penis. When the soldier doesn't salute no more, that means the blood doesn't flow to the penis quick enough to make a man ''hard''. This is the reason some males use Viagra, Cialis or one of those ''enhancers''.

This was the bf and I last weekend. We had a wonderful dinner date at our fave pizza place in town.. QMP (Queen Margherita). And I tried something different with my hair…curly!
This is usually how our dinner date nights go down… I pick him up from work, we drive to the restaurant (as we chase the sunset), we get out and take pictures (sometimes he thinks that I only dress up for you guys), and then we head to the restaurant.
He is funny about taking pictures. Ridiculous in fact. He seems to think that he doesn't know anything (even with the directions that I give him). He thinks that it is just beginners luck. I always tell him, that we are beyond that..he actually can take half decent pics (with guidance). But still.
Silly guy. Look at that face.

Are All Grains Cross Contaminated?
Are Whole Grains Like Millet, Corn and Rice Safe in a Gluten-free Diet?
By Cheryl Harris, MPH, RD, LD
Gluten-free labeling has been a sore point in the U.S. because as of now, there is no national standard. FDA regulations state that all label claims must be truthful and not misleading, but that's a far cry from definitive rules. There is a proposed FDA ruling on voluntary labeling products as "gluten-free" , which was supposed to be finalized in August 2008. It's August 2010, and we're still waiting. A good run-down of the time line is here from CSA.
Under this proposed ruling, products containing 20 parts per million or less of gluten could be labeled "gluten-free", and single ingredient foods, such rice, millet, corn, etc., may not be labeled as "gluten-free", unless the the manufacturer says "All (name of the grain, flour, or seed product for sale) is gluten-free." A new study, "Gluten Contamination of Grains, Seeds, and Flours in the United States" questions that assumption.
The research team collected a variety of grains, seeds, beans, and flours that were NOT marked "Gluten-Free" (GF) and sent them to a lab to test for the presence of gluten. The products highest in gluten were flours, such as soy flour, millet flour, sorghum flour, and buckwheat flour. Soy flour had the highest levels of any flours tested, with one batch containing up to 3,000 parts per million—150 times the proposed standard for "gluten-free". Amaranth flour had undetectable levels, as did some of the rice flours that were tested. Whole grains were a mixed bag. Some batches of whole grain millet exceeded the limit set under FDA's recommended proposed ruling of 20 parts per million, but others, such as buckwheat, amaranth, and rice were under.
Sigh . . . As a dietitian who has been recommending for years that people eat naturally gluten-free foods when possible to gain their whole-grain benefits, this is unfortunate news. This is the first study of its kind and it only looked a few different grains, so it would helpful to know more about other naturally gluten-free grains, nuts, seeds, and beans.
In light of this study, however, it makes a lot of sense to ONLY and ALWAYS purchase flours that are made in a dedicated, gluten-free facility and/or ones that are tested for the presence of gluten through the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG), which tests to 10 ppm, or the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), which tests to 5 ppm.
It also demonstrates large potential loopholes in the proposed FDA gluten-free guidance, because it shows that naturally gluten-free grains may well not be gluten-free after processing. As the study states, "The FDA may want to modify their proposed rule for labeling of food as gluten-free, removing the requirement that gluten-free manufacturers of inherently gluten-free grains, seeds, and flours must state on product labels that all foods of that type are gluten-free."
What about gluten-free whole grains? Some companies like Bob's Red Mill and Eden Foods test for gluten in whole grains. Hopefully this study will prompt more companies to follow suit.
Here's a run down of selected companies that test for gluten and/or have dedicated gluten-free facilities, and the kinds of products they offer:
Better Batter Flour All purpose mix, batch tested for gluten
Bob's Red Mill Produces a variety of flours and grains
NOTE: not all are gluten-free, but the gluten-free and tested products are well-labeled and are from dedicated facilities
Eden foods grains, snacks, etc. Products marked "gluten-free" are tested to contain less than 20ppm
Nearly Normal Flour All-purpose mix and other flours by Jules Shepherd. Certified gluten-free through GFCO
Nu World amaranth: amaranth from a dedicated gluten-free facility
Nuts.com Grains/flours tested to under 10 ppm
Pamela's Products: Bread and cake mixes, made in a gluten-free facility
Here some companies that test for the presence of gluten both in flours and grains:
For more options, see the GIG or CSA websites:
http://csaceliacs.org/CSASealofRecognition.php Products must contain less than 5 ppm.
http://www.gfco.org/ Products must contain less than 10 ppm

text: Those rough Baja roads took a real toll on the truck. The gauges started working intermittently, the msg center flashes on and off, cruise control quits... the odometer doesn't count the mileage when the truck is rolling and the gauges have quit... figuring out how much gas I have in the tank is now guesswork. Has anyone else had or seen this problem before? This is the sort of problem that you need a trained and knowledgeable service tech for but where do you find one of those? Certainly not up here in the Yukon. A local mechanic told me that the instrument cluster has to be replaced but I don't think that'll do it and I'm not willing to pay a thousand bucks to find out. I will be in southern California around February... can anyone recommend a good Chevy service center?

"I was ecstatic when received my orde earlier than expected, and I was so happy when I opened the package. my business cards were beautiful, professional, and added a bit of my stylish touch to it. I added the pearl shine to my cards which helped them stand out more. Being a new photographer, I'm so excited to pass out my cards to my clients!"
"Love these cards. I normally don't order items like these on-line. I need to touch and feel..etc. My Sister raved about your site so I decided to give it a try. I'm very happy I did. The quality is great, the color is bright, the text perfect, and looks like what I ordered."
"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."
"I love the way these cards turned out. The colors are quite vibrant, and I find the design itself quite classy with a touch of whimsy. The paper quality is really nice, although a few of the card edges did get bent in the packaging which was a bit disappointing. Overall very happy with the cards!"
"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards. They were handy to give to pet sitters, neighbors, family, church folks...anyone we meet who we want to easily provide with our contact info. Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."

L7 is a really important female band; I think of them as alternative metal, but they're as much associated with the grunge scene. A heavy guitar 'grind' and bold riffs form the basis of much of their sound. They were formed in 1985 by Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, who shared electric guitar and vocals, and were joined by Jennifer Finch and Dee Plakas on bass and drums respectively. (Greta Brinkman, Gail Greenwood, and Janis Tanaka have also played bass for them.) At the 1992 Reading Festival, Sparks, in response to the crowd slinging mud at the band, removed her tampon on stage and threw it back at them. On the other end of the spectrum (or not, possibly), the band formed Rock for Choice, a pro-choice group which still organizes benefit concerts. Their songs have been on at least twenty compilation records, and soundtracks including Natural Born Killers, Foxfire, and Tank Girl. For all practical purposes the band is defunct, but they definitely left a lasting impression while they were around.
Lyrics Excerpt: We turn the tables with our unity| They're neither moral nor majority. | Wake up and smell the coffee | Or just say no to individuality.
Kittie is an awesome heavy metal band. To be honest, metal isn't really my thing, but I'm always impressed when I listen to Kittie. The band formed in 1996 when Mercedes Lander (drums) and Fallon Bowman (guitar), were respectively 12 and 14 years old. Lander's sister Morgan joined as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, and bassist Tanya Candler played with them as well until leaving in 1999 to finish high school. The band has gone through several lineup changes since then (their longest-lasting members have been Talena Atfield and Jennifer Arroyo on bass, and Tara McLeod replacing Bowman on guitar). They've enjoyed major success since their first album, Spit, debuted in 1999. The band has five albums out and continues to headline tours today.
Lyrics Excerpt: She's led to believe, that it be ok| Look at your face, scarred in dismay| But times have changed, and so have you| I think I'd rather crucify then learn
Emilie Autumn is a wonderful violinist, pianist, harpsichordist and singer. She identifies as asexual (though not aromantic), has bipolar disorder, and is a survivor of sexual assault and abuse and speaks out on these subjects. Her music ranges from fantastical to deeply personal in theme, and her style has also varied - symphonic ballads, jazz-infused piano/cabaret, gritty industrial goth-rock, all with an amazing amount of skill. Unhappy with her experiences and the loss of integrity she was expected to endure when breaking into the industry, she created her own record label, Traitor Records. She has also written an creative autobiography, worked in costuming and all manner of other artistic endeavors.

Mindless Self Indulgence (or MSI) is a band that describes itself affectionately as Industrial Jungle Pussy Punk (they have no real genre; it might be synthpunk and has influences from dance to ska to reggae to punk). Their musical creations are fairly tongue in cheek, ironic and usually blatantly offensive in some way. Kitty (Jennifer Dunn) is their drummer and was webmistress/designer for the band. Their first bassist, Vanessa Y.T., is strangely unmentioned in histories of the band, but obv. important to early recordings. Their second bassist, Lyn-Z (Lindsey Way, nee Ballato) is a fan favorite because of her crazy onstage antics. During her audition for the band - after having just learned bass and knowing she couldn't ace it on musical talent alone - she downed a hidden vial of Bacardi, lit a match off a friction strip glued to her bass, and breathed fire all over the ceiling. It worked! And the rest was history. (Media moment: here's a great interview with her in which she talks about what it's like being a woman in the industry.)
Lyrics Excerpt: All the problems |Make me wanna go | Like a bad girl | Straight to video | Little darling | Welcome to the show | You're a failure | Played in stereo
Cobra Starship has had two female keytarists. They started out a very odd supergroup, and their first keytarist, Elisa Schwartz, was with them for their first single, the theme song for Snakes on A Plane (which might tell you something about how seriously this group takes itself...) However, while they kept their sense of irony and tongue-in-cheek playfulness - their stated goal is to "make hipsters learn to dance" - they became a legitimate pop-punk/dance-pop band and continued to make music, and Schwartz was replaced by Victoria "Vicky T" Asher on keytar. She's pretty awesome: she was a film major at NYU, has worked with Terry Gilliam and Michel Gondry, directed commercials and music videos (for CS and others), as well as working as a solo musical artist and in other bands.
Lyrics Excerpt: Hey Mr. DJ | You gotta put a record on, yeah | We're gonna bury this town tonight | We're gonna dance all night
The band Neon Trees is an AMAZING synthpop band out of Provo, UT. Although they've been big for some time in that scene (they were named Band of the Year in SLC in 2009) they got exposure first touring with The Killers in 2008 and then with 30 Seconds To Mars this past spring, around the time their album Habits dropped. Their show is energetic and upbeat, inspiring dancing and clapping, with influences from new wave and electronica all the way to arena rock and MoTown. Handling the drums with gusto is the talented Elaine Bradley, who does some of the backing vocals as well. Unfortunately, because they're so new, there isn't a lot of info on her: I can tell you that she lived in Chicago at one time (presumably not when she joined the band), has an amazing military jacket that tends to reappear in videos, nearly always wears something sparkly and is a HELLA good drummer.
Lyrics Excerpt: Here we go again | We're sick like animals | We play pretend | You're just a cannibal | And I'm afraid I won't get out alive | I won't sleep tonight
Next time: we take it down a notch - or do we really? - with some of the women from the contemporary indie/folkrock/blues/what century is this, again?/twee/acoustic rock scene.

Behind mast roller reefing
We have wooden masts and a really big main sail. To ease my mates apprehension I said we would look into a behind the mast roller furler system. I can easily raise and lower the mizzen, but in anything other than perfect weather the main can be a problem.
Can I have suggestions and comments on this type of system> We are cruisers and have lots of time so if we loose a little efficiency it will be OK.
Behind mast roller reefing
Are you really willing to give up your battens? Why not look for an above the boom reefer?
Behind mast roller reefing
There are a number of potentially damning issues with using a behind the mast furler on a wooden spar. In order for a behind the mast furler to work the furler gets installed with a separation of from the mast. It is also placed under a lot of tension in order to prevent the stay from sagging so far that the furler binds and experiences too much wear or in the worst case binds. This combination of loads really places a lot more bending and compression stress on a mast in a manner that concentrates these loads equally at the masthead and gooseneck. Wooden spars are designed and tapered to reflect loadings that are distributed along the luff with the center of their forces roughly 1/3 of the luff above the boom. Similarly wooden booms are generally designed to take distributed loads rather than the kinds of concentrated loadings involved in the single point tack attachment of a roller furling mainsail. In other words, in most cases a wooden spar would not be sturdy enough for the loads involved with a furling mainsail.
The unlikeliness that your spars would withstand the loading in heavy air not withstanding, you will also experience a decrease in performance and the risk of ending up with a lee helm, a pretty dangerous condition that should be avoided.
I would suggest going to a dutchman or lazy jack system with perhaps a downhaul to bring the sail down more easily.
Behind mast roller reefing
I have a behind the mast mainsail furler and like it, but cannot imagine it on a wooden mast. I concur that many people who have lazy jacks seem to like them, though some have ripped them off also. Their is a product that furls a mainsail by having heavy nylon (fishline) between the topping lift and the boom, and the main seems to flake itself by sliding down these lines. I believe it is called the Dutchman, but I may be wrong on the name. Saw one at a boatshow once, and it seemed OK, but who knows in a blow?
Behind mast roller reefing
I have used a Dutchman system on 2 boats over a period of 13 years and was extremely pleased with it. Except for an in mast or in boom furling systen I can''t imagine a better system. Lazy Jacks tend to hook battens on a regular basis and I think a behind the mast system would compromise performance to an unacceptaqble degree. Especially pointing ability. A Dutchman system with a good low friction single line reefing setup like Harken''s kit is the way to go for easy mainsail handling.
Behind mast roller reefing
People thought I was nuts whenI told them I was going from single handing a Catalina 30 to single handing an Irwin 38CC. You''ll never be able to manage that monster of a mainsail is all I heard. What they didn''t know was that the Irwin was fitted with a Mack Pack system for managing the mainsail. The effort needed to handle the mainsail on the Irwin is a small fraction of the effort needed to handle the mainsail on the Catalina 30.
Take a look at their website at:
Behind mast roller reefing
Any experience with the new in-boom furlers advertised by Schaefer and Forespar? They look impressive for a full-batten main.
Behind mast roller reefing
Thanks to all for the very thoughtful discussion. We ended up with a Mack Pack on both the main and mizzen to ease the sail handling and a Strong Tack system which has specially designed sail track slides to ease raising and lowering the sails. It won''t add any stress to the masts or booms and is promised to work. I''ll let you all know in February when we get the boat back in the water and start cruising again. Bill Shedd

Looking to see what you all think. They can be semi auto or revolvers. The can still be in production although not as good as they used to be. For example.....
Colt Pythons
Smith &Wesson 66 3" barrel round butts.
Lets see how the list grows....
Colt 1911A1 US Army.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Oh Also the Wilson Combat Protector. I think that is what it was called. It was thier entry level 1911 under the CQB. Going with the 1911 style guns I truely miss the Rock River Arms 1911's they were great.
Sig 1911 Nitron compact. Sweet.
All men are equal...CC makes us equal-er.
colt detective special, third issue.
1st model S&W model 29 with a 4" Barrel
I think most of Colt's DA/SA revolvers fall into that category.

Can't forget the smith and wesson Model 15's with adjustable sights, 4" barrel, target hammer and wide trigger. And the smith and wesson 940. I guess I miss more of the old revolvers I shot when I was a kid. I would love to get a first run Kimber back when they were in oregon and really sweet rather than the hit or miss guns I have seen them become. Although in thier defense they are getting better.

Well, along the the P7M8, I'd add the P7M13...
And, yeah...pretty much all of Colt's DA revolvers. I'd love to find a Diamondback for a reasonable price...and never should have let a buddy succumb to sellers remorse, and let him buy his Python back...
K-frame Smiths. I lucked out and picked up a 3" M65 a couple of years ago...dealer got one by accident in with a bunch of 4" 65's, and let me have it for the same price.
And...I'm beginning to see a LOT of people looking for 2nd gen Glock 9mm's--17's and 19's. No frills, just reliable...

Obama's claim
In Janice Lorigan's letter (Sept. 3) she speaks of her frustration with Republicans blocking the president's jobs bill. The bill is nothing more than another failed stimulus package that will waste monumental amounts of taxpayer money to enlarge the federal government while employing Chinese firms to build infrastructure and rewarding political cronies.
Lorigan believes Obama's claim that his term has produced 4.5 million jobs, a figure that can be hotly debated.
What really matters, the net figure, is conveniently ignored because there is no debate that fewer people work today than when Obama was sworn into office.
Other milestones achieved by this administration include: Doubling gas prices, most food stamps recipients ever, first ever credit downgrading of the U.S., GDP at 1.5 percent, Iran going nuclear and adding more to the national debt in three and a half years than Bush did in eight while reaching the $16 trillion record on the opening day of the Democrat National Convention.
Lorigan seems to think that the expansion of government is OK since it has been done with presidents from both parties in the last few decades. I think that it's time to put a stop to it.

Big government
Small government is for third-world nations, run by a narrow-minded minority with parochial interests. Small government is the birthplace for dictators, the tyranny of the few over the many, for a tradition of ignorance, hate and intolerance. Small government takes away all individual freedoms and replaces them with restricted conformity. You cannot be a great nation with small government. You cannot be a world leader with small government. You cannot even be a representative democracy with small government.
Small government means the freedom of wealth to exploit the have-nots. Small government is where those without money sell their votes to their masters in return for a life of resignation. Small government fosters isolation, antagonism and distrust. Small government is anti-progress, anti-change, anti-improvement. It is impossible for small governments to compete in a global economy.
Small governments do not have a national banking system. They cannot borrow or lend and have no central economic development system for creating railroads, highways, airports, universities, critical medical research, disease control, counter terrorism, a modern military. All those clamoring for states' rights, be aware that state government was already obsolete prior to the Roman Empire.
Our founding fathers soundly rejected small government and states rights signing a constitution for a national government run by federal laws. Small government is nothing more than a slogan fostered by business to avoid unprofitable government regulations. The small-government slogan has been co-opted by political regressives unable to adapt in a changing world. There is no "America is No. 1" in small government, only poverty and despair under the thumb of the wealthy few who end up controlling everything.

BARNES Refinery firefighters work to put out a blaze at the coker heater at the Clark Refinery in Hartford Sunday evening. The fire broke out about 5:50 p.m., sending flames and billowing black smoke into the air. Residents reported hearing a popping or cracking noise before seeing the smoke. The fire was quickly under control, and evacuation was unnecessary. Fire fills sky with smoke By KERRY SMITH Telegraph staff writer HARTFORD - A fire in Clark Refining and Marketing Inc.'s coker heater early Sunday evening sent huge black billows of smoke into the air for 30 minutes while the plant's own ejqergency response team brought the blaze under control. Clark environmental manager Bill Irwin said there were no injuries as a result of the fire, which began at 5:50 p.m. Sunday. "No one was injured, and there was no off-site release of petroleum hydrocarbon," said Irwin. "Shortly after the fire was put out, our own investigation team began its work ... the cause is unknown at this point." Nearly 30 Clark emergency response team members worked to control the fire, which Irwin said was doused by 6:20 p.m. The company has mutual aid agreements with Hartford's and South Roxana's volunteer fire See FIRE, Page A-7 Former official agrees to retire County, Darr settlement ends five-year-long case By SANFORD J. SCHMIDT Telegraph staff writer EDWARDSVILLE - The five-yearlong case of former Madison County official Lanny Darr has come to an end with an agreement for Darr to retire and the county to fund a share of his retirement. Darr, who was fired for wrecking a county pickup truck while under the influence of alcohol, got the county to agree that it made an error in the way it fired him, according to an order signed by Associate Judge Ann Callis of Madison County. However, he will not receive any back pay under the agreement. "It was an amicable agreement for both Darr sides, which this order reflects," said the county's attorney, John Gilbert. He said the settlement allows the county to get out of the case with a minimum of cost. Darr will be credited with his county pension benefits and will be allowed to take early retirement. He will be credited with service from Sept. 21,1994, to Feb. 28 this year at a pay rate of $2,883 per month. The cost of the county's share of Darr's retirement is estimated at between $13,700 and $14,000, which will be paid into the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

Lifelink is a child and family services agency that offers adoption placement services and assistance to agencies in foreign nations. Speakers Melanie Kera and Sharon McBrien led a dozen hopeful individuals through a Sunday afternoon introductory session of Lifelink's procedures for foreign adoptions, which focused mainly on Asian and Baltic nations. McBrien, a social worker and the regional adoption coordinator, said international adoption is a special challenge requiring flexibility and patience. "International adoption requires not only a time and financial commitment, but a The Telegraph/MARGIE M.

"We named our new restaurant Lilly's after our little daughter, Lilly," said her mother, Wendi Mielke, manager of the new business. Lilly's drive-in restaurant opened this summer near the site of the former root beer stand, once a landmark on Main Grafton. "As a teen-ager I worked at the famous root beer stand in town," said Mielke, who has plenty of experience in the restaurant business. Lilly's has the atmosphere of a 1960s-style drive-in cafe and the delicious food of a popular sit-down restaurant. Mielke's father and mother, Bill and Joyce Hurst, bought the property and built the restaurant for the family and Telegraph Towns Street in especially their granddaughter, Lilly, who will own it someday. "It was a gift for Lilly on her second birthday," her mother said. "The restaurant is my mother and father's retirement business, my inheritance and Lilly's future when she grows up." Customers who stop at Lilly's can taste all kinds of meals from hamburgers and barbecue sandwiches to fish and a fried chicken sandwich. "We take pride in our delicious hamburgers made from fresh lean beef, not frozen," Mielke said. "We have an awesome bacon cheeseburger and corn dogs. We're going to start some new meals in September like chicken club sandwiches." Mielke invites Grafton visitors to stop at Lilly's to taste her assortment of ice cream, banana splits and the new "Mississippi Razzle" named ■ See LILLY'S, Page A-7 For The Telegraph/MELINDA KIDWELL Kynan Mielke, back, Bill Hurst, left, Wendi Mielke, right, Joyce Hurst, front, and Lilly Mielke, 2, are the owners and management of Lilly's, the new drive-in restaurant in Grafton.

Peter Fitzgerald, R-Illinois, has made progress toward assisting Illinois farmers with two recent proposals. Congress approved a measure Fitzgerald co-sponsored that will encourage farmers to prepare for times that are less profitable.

We report the fabrication, characterization and simulation of Si nanowire SONOS-like non-volatile memory with HfO2 charge trapping layers of varying thickness. The memory cells, which are fabricated by self-aligning in-situ grown Si nanowires, exhibit high performance, i.e., fast Program/Erase operations, long retention time, and good endurance. The effect of trapping layer thickness of the nanowire memory cells has been experimentally measured and studied by simulation. As the thickness of HfO2 increases from 5 nm to 30 nm, the charge trap density increases as expected, while the program/erase speed and retention remain the same. This data indicates that the electric field across the tunneling oxide is not affected by HfO2 thickness, which is in a good agreement with simulation results. Our work also shows that the Ω-gate structure improves the program speed and retention time for memory application.

Where I stayed
Dutch Cousin Campground
Getting out of the Baltimore area was a bit of a challenge, but the Ozzie Chick was up to the challenge. I checked her charge level and saw all bars, so off we went. The Bull Run Campground is the oldest in Maryland and shows significant wear. The roads are rough and filled with potholes, so you have to take it easy getting out. The Dumpsite and fresh water are separate, so I had to take an extra lap to take care of those important items. It was near eighty degrees and sunny as we set out for Pennsylvania. About half way there, the Ozzie ran out of juice and we delegated her duties to Ol' Reliable, the Hussy.
The scene changes markedly as one enters Pennsylvania. Where there were heavily populated areas in Maryland, now we find large areas of agriculture with neat farmsteads and silos. Evidence of last year's corn crop abounds just off of the highway. Few farm folks were present, due I'm sure, to it being Sunday and Easter Sunday, in particular. The area is habituated by both Amish and Mennonite folks. The Mennonites have individual farm for themselves. The Amish follow a much simpler lifestyle, utilizing no electricity or powered machinery. The horse is their source of power... God too, I'm thinking, for sure.
The terrain is rolling hills with hardwood trees between farms. We went through a portion of York, PA on a two lane road and then over the Susquehanna River. It's a very broad stream of brown, slow-moving water. Traffic was rather heavy, in spite of the time of day and the fact that it's Easter.
Our campground today is Dutch Cousins Campground near Denver, PA. It's hilly here too and covered with hardwood trees just beginning to leaf out. I called ahead and the gal set us up in a "pole through" site just next to the entrance. Those of you who have listened to the PA lingo will recognize the sound. Pull and pole are interchangeable... It's about eighty five degrees and clouding up, no doubt preparing for some afternoon rain. And the humidity? Yes, it's here...

The drive was pretty hairy today, especially the portion I drove. Wes got us through Maine and then I took over in New Hampshire, just in time to wait in the 5-mile line for the NH toll booth. Then we hit a very heavy downpour in upper Massachusetts (while I was still driving) and another multi-mile line for the toll on the Mass Turnpike. Even though I only drove a couple of hours, I felt like I had driven the whole trip by the time we switched drivers in Connecticut. Those New Englanders are aggressive drivers, something I surely am not. I never thought I would say this, but we were SO glad to see the New Jersey state line! :-) The traffic actually thinned out a bit on 287. A trip that should have taken us a little less than nine hours took us over ten.
We head for home tomorrow with about a nine-hour trip ahead us. I hope that traffic isn't as bad tomorrow for the drive home. Please pray for our safety, because our nerves are about shot! :-)

For alpine climbers, river guides and ski patrollers, schlepping gear is in the job description. That's why they choose Patagonia's Black Hole Duffels. Made from waterproof fabric and equipped with water-resistant zippers and seams, they will protect your gear from rain and rough handling. The U-shaped lid allows quick access to the main compartment, while two zippered internal mesh pockets keep small items organised. The padded bottom panel adds structure and helps cushion the load when your duffel gets the baggage-handler treatment. Carrying options include removable, padded and adjustable shoulder straps, webbing handles with a snap closure and haul loops at either end (to link multiple bags). Four daisy chains let you lash additional gear to the outside. A zippered exterior pocket holds the stuff you need to access quickly.
"great bags. ."
"Versatile and constructed. Constructed in a way that makes usage quiet innovative. It\'s top shelf, great capacity, great access, great carrier."
"Good size, right weight an option of back straps. I needed a soft sided bag, no wheels for africa and this is a size i can manage and also fit in all i need, is made of sturdy stuff and if i need to i can use the spare straps to put the duffle on my back. It has a companion shoulder bag. Neat but practical luggage."


text: Comcast keeps adding random new channels from time to time. Mostly they are not valid for my account, but the TiVo always adds them to the channel list because they are new. When I channel surf, I hit these new not available channels, and I'd like to remove them from the channel list. There are a bunch of controls available from the popup menu you get when you hit "Info", but the only control I really want there is the one that says "remove this channel from my list", and that one isn't there :-(. Instead I have to remember the channel number and go on a quest over the river and through the woods to get to the channel list and goto that channel number (if I can still remember what it was) to remove it from the list. I can't think of any of the irritating features of the ToiVo UI that irritates me more than this one.

Blocks phor Phannie, Buddy's Mom and OK Darla in the mail tomorrow. Pic's loaded to my album in case you want to peek.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
*yawn* goodness.. Math homework.. and hoooman interactions.. So tiring. Went oot and aboot yesterday, went oot and aboot today. Got family coming tomorrow (oh crud I gotta clean still!) then... no more hoomans for awhile. need to decompress. hehe.
Today.. was mini spa day.. nails, hair, unruly bushbaby eyebrows, and olive garden.. My friend gave me a card that has a singing cactus fridge magnet, it sings some tequila song is awesome.
Haven't gotten any progress on any more blocks but do have a good majority of a quilt top sewn together. woo. Have to put that on hold too until after I write my paper due on wed. bleh. I really don't know why this set of classes is kickin my butt.
I'm so tired of being tired.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
Its not kicking our Butt girl its just challenging your talents. WE know your talented so its time you pull up those pretty little britches and just get to it. Done and behind you wouldnt that be lovely? a tequila magnet huh? oh dear it isnt an inspiration magnet ? like listen to me and well one more shot of cuervo.. gotta love that pal. And ok phonished blocks and oot and aboot.. did I miss the cocktail round? lol you guys are so goofy!
those blocks nygal are very pretty. you sent out several different fabrics I see. Love the red ones. hey is one of them a cat in a kimono or is itme with horrible eyesite.. bottom right pic cream fabric with it? someone with eyesite is it or what is it? I gotta know now as well cats in kimonos would be great to have..
I want all of you to know I made twenty ornaments today and got busted. watching paint dry. I kid you not I was outside painted one coat figured sit in a chair wait for it to dry only takes like 2 or three minutes, so I wait, spray the pine cones one more time lean over to check how they look fine.. figure it felt good leaning over so I sit like that relaxing my back and zoom a golf cart comes flying into the driveway.. what the heck? its my pal Cecil who is 85. He had driven by saw me leaning like that and turned around and came quick as a cricket over to see if I was ok. I said uh yeah. He says well what are you doing? I had scared him.. I said without thinking.. watching paint dry. lol I was too but sheesh dont say it outload you sure get goofy looks. I said no it had to dry first before i could coat it a third time and add glitter he still looked at me like I was nuts and said well ok then and left. I felt pretty dumb. I guess I hadnt said it well. but hey it does only take a couple minutes on pine cones if your ever wondering. three coats they look lovely and the glitter stuck wonderfully lol. last year I stupidly used floral spray glue. Little did I know it doesnt dry it stays tacky. I had glittered tacky ornaments up and they drove me bonkers. I gifted them to another person this last january. No more sticky pinecones for me. yikes. just in case you know like you were going to glitter some. lol what a mess. think I will stick more to sewing. Apparently I am better at it.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
Are you.... did you just.... how dare you... tell me to put on my big girl britches.. hehehehe. Yes.. it's a cat in a kimono. Doing ninja things.
Since I"m from Minnesota.. most people say I don't have an accent but then every once in awhile.. this thing happens.. I don't know what it is... and it's only those two words.. but I suddenly sound Canadian.. and APPARENTLY.. that's close enough to be considered a Minnesotan accent. Kinda like that movie Fargo.. haven't met anyone in MN that talks like that.. but everyone thinks we do now. But my out and about's come out REALLLY close to oot and aboot. it's worse on my abouts. hehe.
Well.. I got one ornament finished or your tree mrs brat. I even complied with colors. Mostly cause I actually had red and thought what I had was purple.. but it was red sure enough. Yep.. can't cut a curved line, can't cut a straight line, can't sew a straight line, definitely can't sew a curved line, can't do anything spacial-ly equal. I stopped trying. also.. my flower.. well.. one petal is on steroids, one is all teeny. Bleh. I ripped out the white heart blanket stitch about 6 times before I remembered how to do it right. Now.. do I want to make more of these...
Oh btw this was my original idea for the ornament swap but didn't make it for that.
I'm so tired of being tired.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

The Goodbye Quilt
by Susan Wiggs
No current Talk conversations about this book.
About novella length. About a woman coming to terms with her daughter leaving home to go to college. One of those "feel good moralistic" stories with almost perfect families. May be of interest to quilters - there is a small pattern for a quilt at the end the one the mother is quilting through the story. Reminded me of a short story in a women's magazine. Pleasant but not great. Something to read while waiting for a train that doesn't require too much thought.
This book was loaned to me and, after reading it, I see why. It's the story of a mother on a car trip with her college-bound daughter. On the way she works on a memory quilt. It's a story of letting go, saying goodbye, cutting the apron strings, seeing your child as grown - however you want to describe the process a mother has to go through to allow her baby to become an adult. It touched a number of spots with me where I would mutter "ouch", but was a worthwhile read. It was comfortably written and I believe the author was successful in conveying the emotional journey without being overly sappy.
Enjoyed reading this book. A story of a mom and daughter on their journey across the country. Mom is driving her to her 1st year of college.
Linda David, an avid quilter, takes her daughter and her latest quilt on a road trip to the college where Molly is planning to attend. Linda and Molly were very close and the idea of Molly going off to college terrifies Linda. Did she prepare her enough for the world? What will she do with her time? As Molly drives Linda puts the finishing touches on a crazy quilt she has made for Molly. She tells the stories of the materials in the quilt as she hand sews. A very good story about the last trip of a mother and her only child.
The perfect mother shares her angst as she takes her perfect daughter on a roadtrip to her first year in a far away colleges. I can't believe I read the whole thing.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0778329968, Hardcover)Linda Davis's local fabric shop is a place where women gather to share their creations: wedding quilts, baby quilts, memorial quilts, each bound tight with dreams, hopes and yearnings.
Now, as her only child readies for college, Linda is torn between excitement for Molly and heartache for herself. Who will she be when she is no longer needed in her role as mom?
As mother and daughter embark on a cross-country road trip to move Molly into her dorm, Linda pieces together the scraps that make up Molly's young life--the hem of a christening gown, a snippet from a Halloween costume. And in the stitching of each bit of fabric, Linda discovers that the memories of a shared journey can come together in a way that will keep them both warm in the years to come....

Starting at 6 pm local time, Steve Tarrant will hop onto the scooter - which has a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour – and try to ride around for a full day. Why would anyone subject himself to this slow-paced torture? Well, Tarrant is a disabled motor sport Marshal who lost a leg in a marshalling accident 14 years ago - at Goodwood, no less. He still loves racing and competition, though, and participated in the London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 as a medal and flower bearer and as a games maker. His self-imposed challenge today is to go 200 miles around Goodwood and to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support. In a prepared statement, Tarrant said, "In theory, 215 miles is the maximum distance possible on a 10mph vehicle, so 200 is quite ambitious. Reliability permitting, however, I'd say I'm in good shape."
Follow the event later today on Facebook or Twitter and read more below. When you're not sleeping, of course.
Goodwood Motor Circuit will play host to an ambitious World Record attempt this weekend as disabled motor sport Marshal Steve Tarrant bids to go further in 24 hours than anybody else in history – on a Mobility Scooter!
Tarrant, 53, from Poole in Dorset, lost a leg in an accident while marshalling 14 years ago, but has maintained his passion for motor sport by regularly donning his orange overalls at some of the world's greatest circuits – including Goodwood – in the seasons since then.
In addition to his motor sport exploits, Tarrant was a medal-bearing gamesmaker at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 and was presented with a Big Society Award from Prime Minister David Cameron afterwards.
Attempting to secure a place in history is nothing new for Tarrant. He previously succeeded in breaking the existing 170-mile distance record for the distance covered in 24 hours, only to see his effort unratified for official purposes on a technicality.
This time he is aiming to complete 200 miles of a specially-devised Tarmac circuit at Goodwood while at the same time raising money for MacMillan Cancer Support. His vehicle will be a TGA Breeze S4 GT Mobility Scooter, capable of 10 miles per hour.
Tarrant's will begin his world record attempt at 1800 on Saturday, 17 May and is scheduled to finish at 1800 on Sunday, 18 May. Spectators are welcome to come along and show their support from 1800-1900 on Saturday and after 0800 on Sunday.
Steve Tarrant said: "It's fantastic to have such an historic location as Goodwood to make this record attempt. The course I'll be using is a hard Tarmac surface, which will provide a consistent level of grip throughout the day and night and should put me in good shape to break the record. In theory, 215 miles is the maximum distance possible on a 10mph vehicle, so 200 is quite ambitious. Reliability permitting, however, I'd say I'm in good shape."

Report: NYC Young Die From Injuries At Half National Rate
Children in New York City die from injuries at half the national rate, according to a new report from the New York City Health Department.
From 2001 to 2008, the city recorded 4.2 injury deaths each year for every 100,000 children between 1 and 12 years old. The national rate was 8.9 deaths per 100,000 children. The city's advantage stems mainly from a lower risk of transportation-related fatalities. Children die in traffic accidents in New York City at less than one third the national rate, due to New Yorkers' high reliance on public transportation. Yet injuries remain the city's leading cause of childhood death, accounting for 29 percent of the total. Despite the low citywide average, some large differences persist among different demographic groups.
The new report, the fourth in a series tracking child fatalities in New York City, shows that fatal injuries are more common in younger children than older children, more likely to affect boys than girls, and most prevalent in impoverished neighborhoods. From 2001 to 2008, injuries caused:
6.8 deaths per 100,000 children between one and three years old, versus 3.5 deaths per 100,000 10- to 12- year-olds.
4.6 deaths per 100,000 boys, versus 3.6 per 100,000 girls.
6.6 deaths per 100,000 non-Hispanic black children, versus 3.4 per 100,000 non-Hispanic white children and 3.3 per 100,000 Hispanic children.
5.2 deaths per 100,000 children in the lowest-income neighborhoods, versus 2.3 per 100,000 in the highestincome neighborhoods.
The 2010 Report from the Child Fatality Review Team, available at nyc.gov/health, finds that the rate of child injury deaths has been stable for the past eight years. Though the City has many policies in place to reduce child injuries, the report offers practical steps that could help reduce them further.
"New York City remains a remarkably safe place to grow up," said Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Health Commissioner. "Still, every child death is a tragedy and many deaths caused by injury are preventable. This report stresses the critical need for collective and individual action to make our city even safer for kids."
More than two-thirds (69 percent) of the 439 injury-related child deaths between 2001 and 2008 were unintentional, while 25 percent involved intent to cause harm. Among the unintentional injuries, 41 percent were transportation-related, 28 percent were caused by fires and burns, 10 percent involved suffocation, and 9 percent resulted from falls. Nearly all intentional deaths (93 percent) were homicides involving blunt impact injuries, gunshot wounds or fire.
Fatal child injuries varied widely by neighborhood during the period the report covers. The child fatality rate was more than twice as high in the city's poorest neighborhoods (5.2 per 100,000) when compared with the richest ones (2.3 per 100,000). The reasons for these disparities may include both individual factors (e.g., the knowledge, behaviors, and resources of caregivers) and neighborhood factors (e.g., access to secure housing and traffic characteristics).
The Health Department and other City agencies are implementing numerous policies and programs to decrease child injury deaths. The report offers strategies and resources to help families and communities prevent childhood injuries. Here are some of the Health Department's programs and initiatives:
The New York City Poison Control Center operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with registered pharmacists and nurses providing free information on exposure to poisonous or unknown substances.
The Window Fall Prevention Program investigates referrals and complaints concerning window guards. The window guard law requires building owners to install approved window guards in the home of any family with a child age 10 years or younger.
Through the Newborn Home Visiting Program, health care professionals work in low-income areas to provide new mothers with information on child health and safety. Health workers screen for violence in the home and environmental hazards and arrange for free safety-approved cribs.
The Nurse Family Partnership sends nurses into homes of lowincome, first-time mothers every one or two weeks during pregnancy and until the baby is two years old to help address health and safety issues.
Many other City agencies have also adopted policies and launched initiatives to prevent injuries to children. Some current initiatives:
The Department of Transportation's
Safe Routes to School initiative works to improve traffic safety near elementary and middle schools in neighborhoods with the highest traffic accident rates. In addition, the Office of School Safety Engineering ensures that all school intersections have school crossing signs, clearly marked cross walks and school crossing messages on streets.
The Department of Transportation's
Car Seat Education Program sponsors six fitting stations where technicians can help parents install child car seats properly. The program trains nurses, law enforcement officers, health educators and others in transportation safety.
The Fire Department of New York's
Fire Zone, a state-of-the-art learning center in Rockefeller Center, provides fire-safety training for about 25,000 school-age children. FDNY also conducts about 6,000 public presentations on fire safety each year, educating just under 500,000 people, and providing over 100,000 free batteries for smoke alarms.
The Administration for Children's Services sponsors a public awareness campaign called Take Good Care of Your Baby. Conducted in partnership with the Health Department, it informs parents about how to protect babies and young children from injury and death.
The Department of Education and the Administration for Children's Services train school officials and administrators on child protective issues.
For more information on these and other City initiatives, call 311 or visit health.nyc.gov.

A special court that sentenced to death four convicts in the December 16 gang-rape and murder case has sent the file to the Delhi High Court for confirmation of capital punishment.
It is mandatory for the trial court to refer a death penalty case to a high court for confirmation of the sentence within 30 days of the pronouncment of the verdict.
Case records related to the conviction and death sentence of Akshay Thakur, Vinay Sharma, Pawan Gupta and Mukesh has been referred to the high court, sources said.
"The convicts be hanged by neck till they are dead. At a time when gruesome crimes against women have become rampant, courts cannot turn a blind eye to the need to send a strong deterrent message to perpetrators of such crimes. The crime has shaken the collective conscience of the society," additional sessions judge Yogesh Khanna had said while sentencing the four convicts.
He had held the four guilty on 13 counts, including murder and gang-rape of the 23-year-old paramedical student.
Ram Singh, 34, who was one of the prime accused, was found dead in his cell at Tihar jail in March and proceedings against were abated.
The sixth accused, a juvenile, who was the most brutal among them, was on August 31 convicted and sentenced to a maximum of three years in a reformation home.
Meanwhile, two of the convicts were allowed to pursue their studies in Tihar jail.

2013–14 Undergraduate Bulletin
2013–14 Undergraduate Bulletin > Academic Regulations & Policies > Course Selection
Students may add courses to their schedules during the Drop/Add period. Between the end of the Drop/Add period and the 10th day of classes, a student desiring to add a course may do so only with the written approval of the instructor.
After the 10th day of classes, adding with instructor permission will be accepted by the University Registrar's Office only under extraordinary circumstances.
Approved by Faculty Senate, February 4, 2009; Approved by the Chancellor, April 2, 2009.
Dropping a course or courses within the first eight weeks of the semester shall be without penalty and hours shall not be computed as hours attempted.
Dropping a course or courses after the eight-week deadline but before the end of the semester shall be without penalty when approved for appropriate cause as determined by appropriate documentation of medical, psychological, unanticipated life events, or administrative reasons. A student should initiate a request for course drop without penalty from one or more courses through the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. Courses of less than one semester's duration, including summer school courses, shall have shorter deadlines (proportional to the eight-week deadline for the regular semester) for dropping. These deadlines are published on the University Registrar's Web site.
The Dean of Undergraduate Studies shall be responsible for authorizing these drops after consultation with the instructor of every course, and with other departments or agencies as needed.
The grade W on the grade report and transcript indicates that the student either dropped the course within the eight-week, no-penalty period or that the student dropped at a later date for appropriate cause determined by medical, psychological, unanticipated life events, or administrative reasons.
If a student drops all courses, the student is considered officially withdrawn from the University. See section on Withdrawal from the University.
Students shall be given one year following the semester in which a course was taken to petition to drop the course retroactively. Students who seek to drop a course/courses retroactively must meet the conditions under "Dropping Current Term Courses" and the drop must be approved by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. In the event that the instructor is, for practical purposes, unavailable, only the Academic Appeals Committee, appointed from the faculty, may act in place of the instructor in the matter of a retroactive course drop.
Courses may not be dropped retroactively for students who have graduated.
Course level numbers are structured as follows:
intended primarily for freshmen
intended primarily for sophomores
intended primarily for juniors
intended primarily for seniors
intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students; these courses are not open to freshmen and sophomores
registration restricted to students who are classified as graduate students
registration restricted to students admitted to doctoral programs
The Undergraduate Bulletin lists complete course descriptions for courses numbered 100 through 599. Please see The Graduate School Bulletin for information on 600- and 700-level graduate courses.
Twelve semester hours is considered full-time status for undergraduates. An undergraduate student must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours to qualify for full-time certification to any organization.
Full-time undergraduates normally take five courses per semester. Since a majority of courses carry three hours of credit with some carrying four hours of credit, a normal course load is 15 or 16 hours per semester. To complete most undergraduate degrees in four years, students should plan to carry 15 or 16 hours per semester.
Undergraduates may not take more than 18 hours per semester except with the approval of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, 132 McIver. Students who have cumulative grade point averages of 3.0 may be authorized, in special circumstances and at the discretion of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, to carry a maximum of 21 hours of course work.
Students should be aware that academic excellence and scholastic achievement usually require a significant investment of time in study, research, and out-of-class projects. To provide guidance to students in planning their academic and work schedules, the following recommendations are offered:
