I have drove a few thousand mile now with no problems. Thanks for your time.
Yes, I own Ironman Offroad. Clydes frame can straighten your axle! It is funny you ask this question at this time, another friend of mine is taking a D30 to Clydes to get it straightened and we just talked about it today.
And to answer your questions about my trailer, I bought it with the awning and Air Cond. checkerboard floor, flourescent lighting and cabinets. I then put in a double stainless sink, fridge, 25 gallon fresh water tank w/12 volt pump, king size bed, 2 burner propane cooktop, out side shower, 20 # propane cyl., and a stereo with CD player. It also has what is called a sprint car kick up, which means 2' of extra height in the rear where the Jeep sits.
As far as what I have invested, I lost track but it is not as much as you would think. I will say less then $25,000
Let me ask you a question, what happened to your missing arm?

Well first of all I part my hair into 4 sections to do everything (wash, detangle, style). So I start out w/one of the four sections & in the back I divide it into 2 sections (the front sections I divide into 3 sections bc my hair is soooo thick & it allows for easy distribution & detangling) & then squirt ab 2 to 3 pumps of the restorative condish into my hand (after spraying my hair w/plain water first to re-dampen), pour some grapeseed oil into my hand, rub together, apply to each section of hair & detangle (first w/my widetooth comb & then my denman....seems like alot but my hair loss/shedding has decreased soooooooooo much since I've started this reggie.
After I apply & detangle my entire head I cover w/a plastic cap, sit under dryer, rinse & style.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)
- Boat Review and Purchase Forum (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/)
- - Boat, Semi, Crane, #%$^@ (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/52795-boat-semi-crane-%25%24%5E%40.html)
Boat, Semi, Crane, #%$^@
I'm considering moving a boat via moving service to a site where I can unload it and work on it as time allows. In order for this to happen, of course, I would have to have a suitable place to put the boat once it arrived, and I would have to have a way to unload it from the tractor trailer.
Unloading, I talked to a crane service and they think they can handle the load and put it down where I want it, but I know they have no real experience with boats so I wonder what kind of things I should be considering here, what are the gotcha's they might not consider ?
Once the boat is at the site, of course, I will need to have already established a place to put it. What should I be thinking about here, I have never in my life been involved in putting a boat on the hard so all I know is that there are these thingies sticking up that the boat rests on, and that's about it. :D
I'm in the exploratory/curious stage at this point, not the actual planning stage, and I am looking for input.
Boat - 40 foot, 20k pounds displacement
Thank you!
Might I suggest that you contact a local marina that has an experienced TravelLift operator and contract with them to instruct the crane operator on proper loading and also to help you set the boat stands. I don't know if they'll do it or not, but perhaps you can contract with a worker on the side to help out...
I'm not sure where you are located but I bought a boat that was located in a pasture in Maine. I chose to use a boat hauler with a hyrdraulic trailer. The price for hauling the boat was identical to what I was quoted for a conventional hauler, and I did not have to pay for either a crane at the Maine end, or a travelift at the Annapolis end of the trip resulting in a big savings. While you may be able to rent a crane capable of handling 20,000 lbs, it won't be cheap.
Well, our boat (30', 10K disp) is moved every year. The truck/transport is specially designed w/hydraulic arms. They back the boat where it is to go, and set up the stands to take the load when the trailer is moved. No crane needed to pick the boat off the truck and onto the stands/block.
The keel supports all the weight on blocks and the stands balance the boat.
The transport services I have used have been very experienced in doing this and are pretty amazing.
As noted, call around to marinas and ask what they can do...it's fairly standard stuff.
Let me add to Jeff's note above that the hydraulic trailer of which he speaks is capable of picking up the boat and setting it down without any need for a crane or a travellift. A hydraulic trailer is what you want, assuming you have a paved or hardpack surface that the trailer can back into and set the boat down on.
If you have to get the vessel into a back yard with no access for the trailer, then it's a crane you'll be wanting.
Another vote for a boat mover that has the versatile hydraulic trailer. In addition to being able to raise/lower the boat from blocks and stands, the axles split so they can drag the trailer out from under.
The site is basically just a field. Without modification there isn't a way to back a tractor trailer down into the spot, it'll have to sit on the road, so I think a crane is about my only option. Another option I suppose would be to modify the site so that a tractor trailer could back down into it but I'd really rather not do that if it can be avoided, it would be an unsightly mess with gravel all over the place.
Edit - wow, lots of responses, thank you all!

Willow Hall is a beautiful complex located just yards from Mount Hope Bay and offers some of the most stellar views of the Bay and the Mount Hope Bridge on our campus. The 475 residents that live here are located over seven Townhouses and Unit-Style residence halls, which gives residents a wide variety of housing options and the opportunity to meet plenty of new people. It even has a sprawling grass courtyard and a stream in the middle, perfect for sitting outside, playing Frisbee, reading by the water, or taking a nap on a blanket. Each room comes with your standard furniture (bed, desk, chair, closet/armoire, bureau, cable/data hookup) and the entire complex is both air conditioned and completely wireless.
While we know how much you'll love spending time outdoors, we also know that it gets a little cold here in the winter months. But have no fear! Willow also has its very own recreational room complete with couches, chairs, tables, a large-screen TV and a billiards table! So if you feel like grabbing a blanket and a movie to spend some time inside – we've got you covered! The laundry facilities and vending machines are located above the common room in the "44" building, as well as some additional sitting space and another large-screen TV.
The staff of Willow Hall is comprised of one Coordinator of Residence Education (CORE), one Head Resident Assistant (HRA), and 14 Resident Assistants (RA). The Coordinator of Residence Education serves to oversee the day-to-day operation of the complex, including supervision of the residence hall staff. There is one RA per unit in the traditional-style halls and either one or two RAs in each of the Townhouses (Units 1, 3, 6 & 7).
Hello! My name is Nick Frias and I am the CORE this year at Willow Hall. This is my second year at Roger Williams so I am eager to continue working with and getting to know the new and returning students who make up this community! I am from Reading, Massachusetts, which is about 20 minutes north of Boston and only a little over an hour away from Bristol. I completed my undergraduate degree at Quinnipiac University where I majored in broadcast journalism and then I earned my master's in Higher Education at Merrimack College. You can also find me serving as the co-advisor to Roger After Dark, the late-night, alternative-to-drinking programming initiative every other Friday night or I can be found in the Fitness Center on campus. I am excited for another great year in WIllow and am looking forward to making it as much of a fun and successful year as possible!

The final gavel fell on the 2013 Iowa legislative session about an hour ago.ĀĀ We were scheduled for 110 days but went three weeks into overtime. ĀIn the final week, two of my proposals passed the legislature and will now be considered by the Governor.Ā It was an exciting end-of-session.Ā
Since before the session began I've been committed to working in a bi-partisan manner to help create jobs and grow Iowa's economy so middle class families in Iowa can get ahead.Ā Unlike the partisan gridlock in Washington, D.C., we were able to work together and create new opportunities for families across Iowa.Ā While keeping the state budget balanced, we made great progress this year building a highly skilled workforce, expanding access to affordable health care, and growing our economy.
When the 2013 session opened, back in January, many Iowans wondered if the session would close with historic agreements in education, property taxes, and health care or whether it would end in a stalemate.Ā After putting politics aside and working together, legislators chose to forge compromise on the key issues facing Iowa.Ā While no one got everything they wanted and it wasn't perfect, I think Iowans will see real progress in strengthening the middle class.
The foundation of a strong middle class is affordable education and a highly skilled workforce.Ā We continued Iowa's preschool program and expanded early literacy efforts.Ā We made improvements to our K-12 schools to keep good teachers in the classroom and ensure every high school graduate has the skills necessary to land a good job or continue their education.
Since today's jobs require some training beyond high school, we focused on making tuition affordable at our state universities and community colleges.Ā Also, we expanded worker training initiatives at community colleges to train Iowans of all ages for high-skilled jobs.Ā We're also building connections with Iowa businesses to make certain the skills our students are learning are the same skills Iowa businesses need today.
A proposal I made to address the skilled-worker shortage passed the House and Senate this week.Ā Through the assistance of the State Energy Sector Partnership Grant, the I-Green Center in Newton has established itself as a successful program to help improve Iowa's skilled worker shortage and put Iowans back-to-work.Ā I-Green provides training for electrical workers and various 'green-collar' renewable energy jobs.Ā Programs and courses are offered at the facility in Newton in cooperation with DMACC and other community colleges in various parts of the state.Ā If the Governor signs it, my legislation will invest $300,000 in this valuable and sustainable program.
Middle class families also deserve the security of quality, affordable health care in their own community.Ā A compromise health care plan passed in the final hours of the session.Ā Because of this compromise, on January 1, 150,000 hard working Iowans who don't already have insurance through their employer will have access to health care at their local doctor's office or clinic.Ā The compromise plan approved by the Legislature also includes wellness initiatives and other measures to keep health care affordable.
We must do the right thing and stand with our food banks if we are to truly make Iowa the 'Healthiest State.'Ā Rep. Art Staed and I co-sponsored legislation developing a public-private partnership in support of Iowa's emergency food banks.Ā The day before we adjourned, our proposal passed the Legislature with strong bi-partisan support. Thirty-eight states provide support for their food banks - Iowa doesn't, yet.Ā
Hunger is the great paradox of Iowa.Ā We are the breadbasket of the world, yet many Iowans go to bed hungry at night.Ā It is particularly upsetting to realize that many of these Iowans are children.Ā According to the Food Bank of Iowa, one in eight Iowans are food insecure.Ā Worse yet, one in five Iowa children lacks enough to eat on a regular basis.
Our proposal now goes to the Governor.Ā I'm hopeful he will sign it.
The final vote of the session fixed a problem that's been talked about for 30 years, we found a compromise and reduced commercial property taxes for small and medium sized businesses.Ā The historic compromise reached on taxes this year is a step in the right direction.Ā It will grow Iowa's middle class by putting $30 million into the hands of hard working Iowans who struggle to pay their bills.Ā After years of partisanship and stalemate, the agreement will also cut property taxes for Iowa's small and medium sized businesses who want to expand and create new jobs.Ā It also targets more support to Main Street businesses.Ā While the agreement isn't perfect, it's a responsible, sustainable compromise.
It's an honor to represent you in Des Moines, and it's going to be nice to get back to Jasper County for the interim.
I'm proud to represent Newton, Colfax, Baxter, Mingo, Kellogg, Prairie City, Lambs Grove, Ira, and Valeria.Ā Feel free to contact me anytime at 641-521-9260 or email@example.com.
Visit my website at www.electkelley.com.Ā 'Friend' me on Facebook and 'follow' me on Twitter.Ā Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Clarkson headlines Paulie Ayala's March 22nd show
By Jeff Zimmerman
After 10 fights in the last two years, crowd pleasing super middleweight Samuel "The Main Event" Clarkson (10-2, 6KO) makes his 2014 debut Saturday, March 22nd at the Cendera Center in Forth Worth, Texas as the headliner for Paulie Ayala's first show of the new year. Clarkson will be fighting journeyman William Johnson (10-34-2-3) out of Sardis, Mississippi. Clarkson brings lots of excitement whenever he fights and loves to get under his opponent's skin during pre-fight activities. He's typically a fast starter and will look for the knockout early, although in his 2 losses, one to savvy veteran Don Mouton and the other to tough Jas Phipps, he tired late and suffered devastating losses.
Clarkson, though, is coming off of 3 straight wins and there is no reason to think his current 4 month layoff will slow down his entertaining style in the ring or his chirping outside the ring come fight week.
Clarkson is promoted by Paulie Ayala Productions, led by the 2X world champion Paulie Ayala. There will be 7 boxing matches and 1 MMA fight on the card.
Tickets are on sale now at www.cenderacenter.com. Tickets start at $38 for general admission and $45 for reserved seating. Ringside tables are available for $2,000 and include hors d'oeuvre and complimentary beer and wine. Doors open at 6:30 with the first fight scheduled for 8:00.
Proceeds from the event will benefit two great causes – Paulie Ayala's Punching out Parkinson's and Safe Haven, a mission to end domestic violence.

The Rapids' difficult schedule to kick off 2014 continues with a match against MLS Cup champion Kansas City at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
After drawing New York 1-1 on the road and defeating Portland 2-0 at home, Colorado hosts Kansas City on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET (MLS Live). After opening the MLS season with a loss to Seattle and draw against Dallas, Kansas City got its first league win of 2014 when it notched a 1-0 win over San Jose last weekend.
After CONCACAF Champions League obligations forced Kansas City to start the season with five games in 15 days, Sporting will have enjoyed the six days of rest since its last contest.
Right back Chance Myers is questionable for Kansas City with a groin strain, while the status of Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin is in doubt because of a quad strain. The Rapids will be without left back Chris Klute (hamstring strain) and midfielder Jose Mari (suspension).
Kansas City defeated Colorado 2-1 in August in the teams' lone meeting last season.

Honda said today that it has set a goal of reducing carbon emissions from the vehicles it makes around the world by 30% by the end of 2020.
That's a fairly lofty goal -- and the benefits could go not only to cleaner air but fatter pocketbooks. That's because CO2 reductions and better fuel economy go hand-in-hand. It's hard to accomplish one without the other.
Honda says its will try to reduce the carbon emissions that produce greenhouse gases not only in its vehicles, but in production. It has been one of the most aggressive automakers in trying to develop emissions-free hydrogen-powered vehicles, like that concept from 2008 shown above.
The Japanese automaker already has some credibility when it comes to CO2 reduction. In 2006, Honda set a goal to reduce global CO2 emissions from use of its motorcycles, automobiles and power products by 10% by the end of 2010 compared with year 2000 levels. And it says it made it.
But it's easy to see how much harder a 30% reduction may be than that initial 10%. The deeper the cuts, the harder the decisions.

How To Win A Social Reach Groundswell Award

We're in our entry period for the 2014 Forrester Groundswell Awards (entries accepted through February 28th), and I want to examine the winners for social reach in 2013 and highlight how to put together a winning entry.
For social reach, show us how your program got new people (business people or consumers) to discover your solution, and how you measured its impact on your business — either by helping your engaged customers to discover additional offerings or by using them to create discovery among their friends. We'll be less interested in how many social posts were made or times something was shared (although it helps), and more interested in how those posts, or shares, drove people to explore your brand and eventually make a purchase.
Our B2C winner, City Year, is an education-focused nonprofit that works with at-risk students in urban schools. It enlisted its existing corps members to get the word out through social networks. Those members posted almost 29,000 tweets using the #makebetterhappen hashtag, and in total generated more than 26 million Twitter impressions — phenomenal reach. But even more critically, the results was that brand awareness among college students nearly doubled, and the number of students who said they'd either applied or planned to apply to City Year went up by five times in one year.
Our B2B winner, Brainshark, a company that offers online video services to businesses, knew its customers loved its offerings — but those customers weren't always telling others how great Brainshark was. So it built an online community for its champions. It more than quadrupled the number of companies willing to serve as reference customers, and the program has increased Brainshark's reach by more than doubling Twitter activity around the brand.
Two of our finalists also measured effectiveness in powerful ways: Rise Interactive's personalization of influencer marketing measured by new website visits, and SodaStream's word-of-mouth campaign with consumer influencers, measured by both impressions and actual trials of the product.
For a recap of all of the finalists and winners, check out my colleague Nate Elliott's blog post.

Sounds right. I have a rental condo in FL and deduct mileage provided the majority of the days I stay there is for business purposes such as doing repairs. In other words, if I make repairs for 4 days and hang out on the beach 3 days, all of my mileage is deductable. I can also claim meals for those 4 days as a deduction under the IRS rules. If I spent 4 days at the beach and 3 days makeing repairs, none of my mileage would be deductable in commuting between my house and the condo.

Notice issued to Jindal Saw Limited &Others by the Gujrat High Court
Dr. M. P. Mishra 3/29/2011 11:04:00 PM ECOSENSORIUM NEWS
Alleging irregularities of Jindal Saw Limited and others to hold a proposed public hearing and starting construction without environmental clearance for its new unit at Mundra in Kutch District, the Gujarat High Court has issued notice to the company.
Earlier, a petition was filed in the public interest before first bench of the court by Mahesh Solanki and Aniruddha Singh Jethwa, residents of Samaghogha village in Mundra Taluka of Kutch.
According to a local report the petitioners claimed that the project of the company fell under category B for which prior environmental clearance was necessary. The claim was made by Mr. Anand Yagnik, the advocate of the petitioners. The claim was made that the clearance from the state level expert appraisal committee was yet to be taken, and still the construction at the proposed site was started by the company.
The petitioners claimed that – it was clear violation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 as amended and instructions issued by respondent Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India under the Environment Rules and Environment Act.
The advocate Mr. Yagnik has reportedly told that the company already had a manufacturing unit in the vicinity, Manufacturing DI pipes of different sizes and that might be an extension of the existing unit. However, before getting prior environmental clearance no construction of any nature could be put up except fencing and making temporary shelter for guards. The construction was going at a good speed as if clearance was just a paper formality before even the public hearing took place.
The advocate further said that the venue of the public hearing on Tuesday was in the school located inside the existing unit of Jindal Saw Limited and that was not a neutral venue as required under law and hence it was needed to have been changed. It was also alleged by the petitioners that the project proponents of the company had not even submitted a summary in vernacular language or Environmental Assessment Report with either the Gram Panchayat or the Mamlatdar office.
According to the report -The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) stated, for the purpose of "Informed participation of villagers" in the public hearing, copy of the entire Environmental Impact Assessment Report is required to be provided in vernacular language before actually public hearing takes place with a sufficient gap between provision of the EIA Report of the proposed project in vernacular language and the public hearing. The petitioners have also challenged the EIA notification of 2006 issued by Ministry of Environment and Forests to the extent that it permits provision of summary in vernacular language. They've challenged it on the ground that such discrimination on the basis of language violates Article 14 of the Constitution of India and it therefore is unconstitutional.

Wetlands and their roles in the evironment
Dr. M. P. Mishra 3/27/2011 10:23:00 PM ECOSENSORIUM KNOWHOW
The cycling of nutrients is also performed by wetlands and aquatic plants. These help in the recovery of resources also, since these produce biomass that can be harvested and utilized as a source of energy and food for the efficient recycling of nutrients. Wetlands are instrumental in decreasing both the nutrient load and high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels of the wetlands and Lakes. Different native aquatic plants such as emergent, floating leaved, submerged and free-floating vegetation colonize lakes and wetlands, and are the sources for the formation of different niches occupied by variety of micro flora and fauna. The lake plays a major role in the removal, recycling of nutrients, and also controlling water pollution through physical, chemical and biological means.
Image 1 Wetland- credit Encyclopedia of Earth
Image 2 wetland with a dependent animal
What are wetlands? Well, Wetlands are marshy areas where there is much moisture in the soil. Wetlands are sometimes covered in water. Swamps, marshes, and bogs are some of the names used for wetlands. In other words, "Wetlands are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or where water shallow covers the land and where at least one of the following attributes holds-
· the land predominantly supports aquatic plants at least periodically;
· untrained hydric soils are the predominant substrate; and
· at some time during the growing season, the substrate is saturated with water or covered by shallow water." Definition by Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.A.
Ecological Roles of Wetlands
Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable torainforests and coral reefs. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, and mammals can be part of a wetland ecosystem. Physical and chemical features such as climate, landscape shape (topology), geology, and the movement and abundance of water help to determine the plants and animals that inhabit each wetland. The complex, dynamic relationships among the organisms inhabiting the wetland environment are referred to as food webs.
The functions of a wetland and the values of these functions to human society depend on a complex set of relationships between the wetland and the other ecosystems in the Watershed. A watershed is a geographic area in which water, sediments, and dissolved materials drain from higher elevations to a common low-lying outlet or basin a point on a larger stream, lake, underlying aquifer or estuary.
Wetlands play an integral role in the Ecology of the watershed. The combination of shallow water, high levels of nutrients, and primary productivity is ideal for the development of organisms that form the base of the food web and feed many species of fish, amphibians, shellfish, and insects. Many species of birds and mammals rely on wetlands for food, water, and shelter, especially during migration and breeding.
Wetlands' microbes, plants, and wildlife are part of global cycles for water, nitrogen, and sulfur. Furthermore, scientists are beginning to realize that atmospheric maintenance may be an additional wetlands function. Wetlands store Carbon within their plant communities and soil instead of releasing it to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Thus wetlands help to moderate global climate conditions.
Economic benefits of wetlands
Only recently have we begun to understand the importance of the functions that wetlands perform. Far from being useless, disease-ridden places, wetlands provide values that no other ecosystem can, including natural water quality improvement, flood protection, shoreline erosion control, opportunities for recreation and aesthetic appreciation, and natural products for our use at no cost. Wetlands can provide one or more of these functions. Protecting wetlands in turn can protect our safety and welfare.
Wetlands have important filtering capabilities for intercepting surface water run off from higher dry land before the runoff reaches open water. As the runoff water passes through, the wetlands retain excess nutrients and some pollutants, and reduce sediment that would clog waterways and affect fish and amphibian egg development. In performing this filtering function, wetlands save us a great deal of money. For example, a 1990 study showed that without the Congaree Bottomland Hardwood Swamp in South Carolina, the area would need a US$5 million waste water treatment plant.
In addition to improving water quality through filtering, some wetlands maintain stream flow during dry periods, and many replenish Ground Water. Many Americans and yes, most of Indians depend on groundwater for drinking.
Wetlands function as natural sponges that trap and slowly release surface water, rain, snowmelt, ground water and flood waters. Trees, root mats, and other wetland vegetation also slow the speeds of flood waters and distribute them more slowly over the floodplain. This combined water storage and braking action lowers flood heights and reduces erosion. Wetlands within and downstream of urban areas are particularly valuable, counteracting the greatly increased rate and volume of surface water runoff from pavement and buildings.
The holding capacity of wetlands helps control floods and prevents water-logging of crops. Preserving and restoring wetlands, together with other water retention, can often provide the level of flood control otherwise provided by expensive dredge operations and levees. The bottomland hardwood riparian wetlands along the Mississippi River once stored at least 60 days of floodwater. Now they store only 12 days because most have been filled or drained.
The ability of wetlands to control erosion is so valuable that some states are restoring wetlands in coastal areas to buffer the storm surges from hurricanes and tropical storms. Wetlands at the margins of lakes, rivers, bays, and the ocean protect shorelines and stream banks against erosion. Wetland plants hold the soil in place with their roots, absorb the energy of waves, and break up the flow of stream or river currents.
More than one-third of the United States' threatened and endangered species live only in wetlands, and nearly half use wetlands at some point in their lives. Many other animals and plants depend on wetlands for survival.
Estuarine and marine fish and shellfish, various birds, and certain mammals must have coastal wetlands to survive. Most commercial and game fish breed and raise their young in coastal marshes and estuaries. Menhaden, flounder, sea trout, spot, croaker, and striped bass are among the more familiar fish that depend on coastal wetlands. Shrimp, oysters, clams, and blue and Dungeness crabs likewise need these wetlands for food, shelter, and breeding grounds.
For many animals and plants, such as wood ducks, muskrat, cattails, and swamp rose, inland wetlands are the only places they can live. Beaver may actually create their own wetlands. For others, such as striped bass, peregrine falcon, otter, black bear, raccoon, and deer, wetlands provide important food, water, or shelter. Many of the U.S. breeding bird populations—including ducks, geese, woodpeckers, hawks, wading birds, and many song-birds—feed, nest, and raise their young in wetlands. Migratory waterfowl use coastal and inland wetlands as resting, feeding, breeding, or nesting grounds for at least part of the year. Indeed, an international agreement to protect wetlands of international importance was developed because some species of migratory birds are completely dependent on certain wetlands and would become extinct if those wetlands were destroyed.
We use a wealth of natural products from wetlands, including fish and shellfish, blueberries, cranberries, timber, and wild rice, as well as medicines that are derived from wetland soils and plants. Many of the nation's fishing and shellfishing industries harvest wetland-dependent species; the catch is valued at US$15 billion a year. In the Southeast, for example, nearly all the commercial catch and over half of the recreational harvest are fish and shellfish that depend on the estuary -coastal wetland system. Louisiana's coastal marshes produce an annual commercial fish and shellfish harvest that amounted to 1.2 billion pounds worth US$244 million in 1991. Wetlands are habitats for fur-bearers like muskrat, beaver, and mink as well as reptiles such as alligators. The nation's harvest of muskrat pelts alone is worth over US$70 million annually.
Wetlands have recreational, historical, scientific, and cultural values. More than half of all U.S. adults (98 million) hunt, fish, birdwatch or photograph wildlife. They spend a total of US$59.5 billion annually. Painters and writers continue to capture the beauty of wetlands on canvas and paper, or through cameras, and video and sound recorders. Others appreciate these wonderlands through hiking, boating, and other recreational activities. Almost everyone likes being on or near the water; part of the enjoyment is the varied, fascinating lifeforms.
Human activities cause wetland degradation and loss by changing water quality, quantity, and flow rates; increasing pollutant inputs; and changing species composition as a result of disturbance and the introduction of nonnative species.
A wetland's characteristics evolve when hydrologic conditions cause the water table to saturate or inundate the soil for a certain amount of time each year. Any change in hydrology can significantly alter the soil chemistry and plant and animal communities. Common hydrologic alterations in wetland areas include:
· Deposition of fill material for development;
· Drainage for development, farming, and mosquito control;
· Dredging and stream channelization for navigation, development, and flood control;
· Diking and damming to form ponds and lakes;
· Diversion of flow to or from wetlands; and
· Addition of impervious surfaces in the watershed, thereby increasing water and pollutant runoff into wetlands.
Although wetlands are capable of absorbing pollutants from the surface water, there is a limit to their capacity to do so. The primary pollutants causing wetland degradation are sediment, fertilizer, human sewage, animal waste, road salts, pesticides, heavy metals, and Selenium. Pollutants can originate from many sources, including:
· Runoff from urban, agricultural, silvicultural, and mining areas;
· Air Pollution from cars, factories, and Power Plants, Old landfills and dumps that leak toxic substances; and
· Marinas, where boats increase turbidity and release pollutants.
Wetland plants are susceptible to degradation if subjected to hydrological changes and pollution inputs. Other activities that can impair wetland vegetation include:
· Grazing by domestic animals;
· Introduction of nonnative plants that compete with natives; and
· Removal of vegetation for peat mining

The Earth Hour 2011
Dr. M. P. Mishra 3/26/2011 10:36:00 PM ISSUES
Here is a Doha (couplet) by the Hindi poet Bihari composed long back in the history of Hindi Literature -
"Kahlaney ekal basat ahi, mayur, mrig, bagh
Jagat Tapovan so kiyo deeragh dagh nidagh".
The meaning of this couplet may go like this – the long scorching heat of summer has brought varieties of animals like snake (ahi) and Peacock (mayur); deer (mrig) and tiger (Bagh) at one place in a small forest area. All these animals stay together during the hardest time, at one place – forgetting their prey- predator relationship. And thus the intense heat has made the world a TAPOVAN (a forest where a number of tapasvis or priests prey together). Here it appears that even animals forget their differences during the hour of danger and stay united to bear the hardship together.
Let us see towards the other side. About four thousand cities of the world remained in dark today from 8.30 PM to 9.30 PM. Why? In order to save energy, in order to contribute in checking the Global Warming, and in order to protect the earth from dangerous impacts of climate change and in order to …And in order to celebrate the Earth Hour.
The celebration of the Earth Hour started in 2007 when citizens of Australia took an initiative of not operating any electric- operated equipment or machine for one hour. The same concept has spread across the world today and as per reports - more than 4000 cities of about 131 countries celebrated the Earth Hour today – still not all the countries of the world. Though I can not imagine that rest of the countries might had doubled their electric consumption during the period; I am sad just to think that many countries of the World did not join the movement for the Global Cause. What should I do to make the whole world do so? Why did the remaining countries not join the campaign if it was for the cause of the whole world? Don't they think that they too are standing at the bank of the same flooding river?
About the Earth Hour
Here is a report quoted directly from The Earth Hour -
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later the Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome's Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries/territories officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world's largest global climate change initiative.
On Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Earth Hour 2011 will take place on Saturday 26 March at 8.30PM (local time). This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up.
Earth Hour is organized by WWF. With almost 5 million supporters and a global network in over 100 countries/territories, it's one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

Garlic (Allium sativum) & its medicinal properties
Dr. M. P. Mishra 3/20/2011 02:29:00 PM BIODIVERSITY , MEDICINAL PLANTS
Garlic as it is known in English is taxonomically known as Allium sativum.It belongs to the family Alliaceae or the family of onion. History reveals that garlic has been used across the world for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Bulbs of Garlic (credit : flickr )
Bulb of garlic is most prominent and commonly used part. It has stored food inside its cloves. Some garlic species have their bulbs single clove type where as other have many cloves. Cloves of garlic are fleshy sections of the bulb. Cloves are consumed in both raw and cooked forms. These are used as medicine too. The whole plant with its different parts the bulb, leaves and flowers is edible either as spice or as medicine.
The basal plate of the bulb has a number of fibrous roots. Applications of roots for either of culinary or medicinal purposes have not been reported so far.
Though garlic is grown in most parts of the world, China has been reported to be its largest producer. It produces approximately 10.5 million tonnes of garlic annually which is 77 percent of the total global out put of garlic.
Gilory, California, is called as the Garlic Capital of the world as much of the garlic production of the United States is centred on this place. In USA garlic is grown as a cash crop in all the states except in Alaska. However, USA stands on the fifth place in terms of garlic production. With 4.1 percent of garlic production, India stands on the 2nd place in the world. Production of garlic in South Korea is 2 per cent of the world. South Korea is followed by Egypt and Russia where garlic production ranks at just 1.6 percent.

Medicinal use and health benefits
Garlic has been reported to have antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal activity. It is also claimed to prevent heart diseases that include atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure etc. It has also been reported to treat cancer in some cases. Lower prevalence of cancer has been reported from countries using garlic as traditional cuisine. Studies on animals suggest that garlic consumption reduces accumulation of cholesterol on vascular walls. According to another study, intake of food supplementation with garlic extract can reduce vascular calcification in human being. The intake of garlic extract has been reported to have vasodilative effects.
Garlic has long history of its application as traditional herbal medicine for treating common colds, hoarseness, and cough.
Garlic has been reported to reduce platelet aggregation and hyperlipidemia. It regulates blood sugar level. Regular consumption of garlic has shown to prevent some complications of diabetes mellitus. However, it is suggested that patients taking insulin should not consume garlic.
Garlic's antibacterial activity was first observed by Louis Pasteur in 1858. During the World War I and the World War II, garlic was used as an antiseptic to prevent gangrene.
Garlic cloves are used as a remedy for infections (especially chest problems), digestive disorders, and fungal infections such as thrush. Garlic has been found to enhance thiamine absorption and therefore reduce the likelihood for developing the thiamin deficiency Beriberi. In 1924, it was found that garlic is an effective way to prevent Scurvy due to its high vitamin C content.
In an uncontrolled study conducted in China, garlic has been found helpful for AIDS patients to treat cryptosporidium and toxoplasmosis. Garlic consumption has been found by some researchers to boost testosterone levels.
Adverse effects and toxicology
Garlic is known for causing halitosis as well as causing sweat to have a pungent 'garlicky' smell which is caused by allyl methyl sulphide (AMS). AMS is a gas which is absorbed into the blood during the metabolism of garlic; from the blood it travels to the lungs](and from there to the mouth causing bad breath) and skin where it is exuded through skin pores. Washing the skin with soap is only a partial and imperfect solution to the smell. Studies have shown that sipping milk at the same time as consuming garlic can significantly neutralize bad breath. Mixing garlic with milk in the mouth before swallowing reduced the odor better than drinking milk afterward.
Raw garlic is more potent; cooking garlic reduces the effect. The sulfur compound allicin, produced by crushing or chewing fresh garlic produces other sulfur compounds: ajoene, allyl sulfides, and vinyldithiins. Aged garlic lacks allicin, but may have some activity due to the presence of S-allylcysteine.
Some people suffer from allergies to garlic and other plants in the allium family. Symptoms can include irritable bowels, diarrhea, mouth and throat ulcerations, nausea, breathing difficulties, and in rare cases anaphylaxis. Garlic-sensitive patients show positive tests to diallyl disulphide, allylpropyldisulfide, allylmercaptan and allicin, all of which are present in garlic. People who suffer from garlic allergies will often be sensitive to many plants in the lily family (Liliaceae), including onions, garlic, chives, leeks, shallots, garden lilies, ginger, and bananas.
Garlic consumption in high quantity during pregnancy is not recommended because it has the property of thinning blood. Several reports of serious burns resulted from topical applications of garlic extract have also been found. Topical application of garlic extract in young children is not advisable. However, garlic has been consumed for several thousand years without any adverse long-term effects, suggesting that modest quantities of garlic pose, at worst, minimal risks to normal individuals. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, sweating, dizziness, allergic reactions, bleeding, and menstrual irregularities. The safety of garlic supplements had not been determined for children. According to an important study, some breastfeeding mothers have found their babies slow to feed and have noted a garlic odour coming from their baby when they have consumed garlic.
Social Traditional perceptions
A number of religious and spiritual thoughts have also been associated with garlic. The Cassell's dictionary of superstitions reports that in an Islamic myth when Satan left the Garden of Eden, garlic arose in his left foot print and onion in the right. Owing to its reputation as a potent preventive medicine, garlic has been used by many cultures in Europe against white magic. Folks in Central Europe believe that garlic can be used to ward off demons, werewolves and vampires. Garlic is worn, hung in windows or rubbed on chimneys and keyholes to ward off vampires.
In both Hinduism and Jainism, garlic is considered to stimulate and warm the body and to increase one's desires. Some devout Hindus generally avoid using garlic and the related onion in the preparation of foods for religious festivities and events. Followers of the Jain religion avoid eating garlic and onion on a daily basis. It is probably due to the odour of garlic that Islam views it inappropriate to eat garlic before going to the mosque as the smell from mouth may irritate the fellow worshipers.

Information for Healthcare Professionals: Isotretinoin (marketed as Accutane)
Update: The issues described in this communication have been addressed in product labeling (see Drugs@FDA).
FDA ALERT [11/2005]: Start Dates Have Been Changed for the iPLEDGE Program. FDA approved a strengthened risk management plan for Accutane and generic isotretinoin on August 12, 2005, to make sure females do not become pregnant while taking this medicine. Isotretinoin causes birth defects. This new plan is called iPLEDGE. For details of iPLEDGE go to Isotretinoin (marketed as Accutane) Information. The iPLEDGE program was originally scheduled to begin on November 1, 2005. To allow more time for registration and activation, the implementation dates of the iPLEDGE program have been revised. The start date by which wholesalers and pharmacies must be registered /activated in IPLEDGE has been changed from November 1, 2005 to December 30, 2005. The starting date to begin patient registration and qualification in iPLEDGE has been changed from November 1, 2005 to December 30, 2005. By March 1, 2006, only prescribers registered and activated in iPLEDGE will be able to prescribe isotretinoin and only patients registered and qualified in iPLEDGE will be able to be dispensed isotretinoin.
[07/2005 ] Suicidal Thoughts or Actions: In addition to the strengthened risk management program, FDA continues to assess reports of suicide or suicide attempts associated with the use of isotretinoin. All patients treated with isotretinoin should be observed closely for symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts, such as sad mood, irritability, acting on dangerous impulses, anger, loss of pleasure or interest in social or sports activities, sleeping too much or too little, changes in weight or appetite, school or work performance going down, or trouble concentrating, or for mood disturbance, psychosis, or aggression. Patients should stop isotretinoin and they or their caregiver should contact their healthcare professional right away if the patient has any of the previously mentioned symptoms. Discontinuation of treatment may be insufficient and further evaluation may be necessary. [Action taken 08/12/05 Labeling revision]
This information reflects FDA's preliminary analysis of data concerning this drug. FDA is considering, but has not reached a final conclusion about, this information. FDA intends to update this sheet when additional information or analyses become available.
To report any unexpected adverse or serious events associated with the use of isotretinoin, please contact the FDA MedWatch program either online, by regular mail or by fax, using the contact information at the bottom of this page.
- All patients treated with isotretinoin should know the risk of birth defects if exposed during pregnancy. Females of child bearing potential must use 2 separate, effective forms of contraception at least one month before, during, and for 1 month after stopping isotretinoin to make sure the drug is gone from the body. Physicians must input information into the iPLEDGE system monthly, including pregnancy test information for females of child bearing potential. Females of child bearing potential must also interact with the iPLEDGE system monthly. Patients cannot donate blood while on isotretinoin nor for one month after stopping treatment.
- Physicians are reminded that isotretinoin is marketed with a risk minimization action plan (RiskMAP) to reduce fetal exposure to the drug. By March 1, 2006, only iPLEDGE pharmacies will be able to dispense isotretinoin based on prescriptions from only iPLEDGE physicians for iPLEDGE patients.
- All patients treated with isotretinoin should be observed closely for symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts and referred to a specialist if necessary. Discontinuation of the drug may not be sufficient; psychiatric evaluation and further intervention may be necessary to prevent patients from harming themselves.
- All patients should be informed to discontinue isotretinoin, and inform his/her healthcare professional right away if any of the following happens:
- Start to feel sad or have crying spells
- Lose interest in activities once enjoyed
- Sleep too much or have trouble sleeping
- Become more irritable, angry, or aggressive than usual (for example, temper outbursts, thoughts of violence)
- Have a change in appetite or body weight
- Have trouble concentrating
- Withdraw from family or friends
- Experience loss of energy
- Experience feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt
- Start having thoughts of self-harm, or suicide
- Start acting on dangerous impulses
- Start seeing or hearing things that are not real
Data Summary
Some of the serious adverse event reports FDA has received regarding isotretinoin include birth defects and psychiatric effects (e.g., suicide ideation and suicide). Isotretinoin is a well established teratogen. Although causality has not been established for isotretinoin and psychiatric events, the following information is important to consider:
- Preclinical and neuroimaging data suggest that isotretinoin produces behavioral effects (i.e. activation) in rats, impairment of neuronal division in the murine hippocampus, and reductions in orbitofrontal brain metabolic rates in humans. This preclinical and neuroimaging data may suggest biological plausibility for the suspected psychiatric adverse events associated with isotretinoin.
- From isotretinoin's initial marketing in 1982 through August 2004, 4,992 spontaneous reports of psychiatric disturbances associated with using isotretinoin in patients in the United States have been submitted to the FDA.
- The number of reported suicides among isotretinoin users in the United States was 190 through January 2005. Between 1982 and 2002, there were 165 reported suicides, which were fewer than the 220 predicted based on U.S. vital statistics data. However, because the degree of under-reporting of suicides is unknown, the fact that the reported number is lower than the predicted number cannot be interpreted as evidence against a causal association.

Some of you had requested recipes for rich gravies like paneer butter masala. Cooking them without kitchen is little challenging. I have adapted one such recipe for you all. It is an unique snack found in restaurants around the temple city Udupi. Soft milk bread slices covered with a blanket of red mild tomato gravy and garnished with bits of raw onion and cashew pieces looks good, tastes good and is a filling snack too.
Instead of pouring this gravy over bread slices, you can add bits of paneer or boiled eggs or mixed boiled vegetables or grilled chicken to make other gravies.
If you want to make gravy, soups and milkshakes it is better to buy a hand blender. This is also known as immersion blender. Some of these come with a chopper attachment. Chopping onions and making any chunky paste for gravy becomes easier in this chopping jar.
If you do not have this chopper... no problem! there are other methods too, read the entire recipe and then proceed to make this. Do tell me if you liked this.
For the gravy-
1-2 tbsp oil
200ml - sliced onions
1 tbsp ghee/ 2 tbsp fresh cream/ 2 tbsp milk pd (mixed with water into a thick paste)
For the tomato masala-
6 red juicy tomatoes (you can use 3 tbsp tomato puree or a mix of 4 tomatoes and 1 tbsp tomato puree too)
3 tbsp cashew nuts, 3-4 cloves/ lavang & 1 tsp sugar ( replace these 3 ingredients with 2 tbsp instant Indian dessert pd)
4 garlic cloves or 1/2 tsp garlic pd /paste
1 tsp ginger paste or 1/4 tsp ginger pd
3 kashmiri chilli or 1.5 tsp kashmiri chilli pd
1-2 green chilli (optional)
For garnish-
1 onion sliced thinly lengthwise
1 tbsp roasted or unroasted cashew pieces
1 tbsp chopped coriander or cilantro or small pinch of crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) (OPTIONAL)
For the gravy-
Grind tomatoes, cashew, garlic, ginger, red chilli, green chilli and cloves and keep aside.Use only kashmiri red chilli as you need a mild and red gravy.
Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan.
Fry the sliced onions in this oil .
When the onions are golden brown, add the ground paste and fry for 5-8 mins over low heat till the
raw smell of the garlic goes away.
Add garam masala, ghee or fresh cream, sugar, salt. Some people use tandoori red color too.
Cover and cook for 5 mins. Add water if the gravy is very thick.
Place 3 slices of bread on a plate. Cut it roughly into cubes but do not separate them.
Pour a few ladle of the above tomato gravy over this so that it covers the bread completely.
Garnish with coriander leaves and roasted or un roasted cashew bits.
To make this in electric rice cooker-
There are 2 ways to make this tomato masala -
Either you can chop them finely or grind them into a chunky paste.
1-Chop the tomatoes, ginger, garlic and mix this with garam masala pd, kashmiri chilli pd and Indian dessert pd and keep this ready.
2-If you want to make gravy, soups and milkshakes.it is better to buy a hand blender with a chopper attachment. Chopping and making chunky pastes becomes easier in this chopping jar.
Put the tomatoes, ginger, garlic, garam masala pd, kashmiri chill ps and Instant Indian dessert pd into the chopper attachment of your hand blender.
Making the gravy-
Place the onion and oil in the rice cooker pan, cover with the lid and switch on the cooker.
When the onions become slighty translucent add tomato masala.
Cover and cook for another 5 mins.
Lastly add fresh cream or ghee or milk pd paste.
You need not add cloves or sugar as the dessert pd has cardamom, ground nuts and sugar.
Assemble the bread masala as above.
Garnish with chopped onions, green coriander or kasuri methi and cashew pieces.

In the owners manual it suggests that you should regularly treat the rubber seals so they stay flexible and prevent things like doors freezing shut. It suggests that you treat them with silicone or another car care product. Then under the note it states that you should not use rubber cleaning or treatment products that contain silicone acids ect. So it both says you should and should not use silicone which I'm a little confused about. And also what are these "other" cleaning products they refer too?
'08 2-Door Reflex Silver
Use spray lubricant silicone on the door seals. Don't use it on anthing else on the interior. It's also safe to use on the window guides and other rubber seals. Don't use it on steering wheel tho.

I strongly urge everyone to kick off the summer season at Smith Mountain Lake with two premier performances: Lakeside Singers and the brand new Lake Pops, both sponsored by Smith Mountain Arts Council. You will not be disappointed!
The cruise missile attack on a Syrian airbase early last month was amazing. In a precision attack, the base was hit by 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles in 60 seconds. According to a Wikipedia article, 60 missiles were launched, but one fizzled and fell in the sea.
Syria was able to resume launching air strikes from the base but the advance warning we gave the Russians, so they could get their personnel out of the way, also allowed the Syrians to shield some of their aircraft, reducing the damage that was done.
Faith, family and freedom
Having choices through elections is an American standard; preferring one choice does not necessarily mean that we are adamantly or rudely opposed to another. It simply means that we prefer one for specific reasons and we make that choice.

Just as sure as the sun rises in the east, two or three times a year Billy Hackworth writes to the Bedford Bulletin complaining about Sheriff Mike Brown. Why is that? He may have some good points, but they are obscured by his obsession with and vendetta for Sheriff Brown.
National Dog Bite Prevention Week
In April, the United States Postal Service promoted National Dog Bite Prevention Week.
I am writing to ask our customers to extend their efforts and help make this "National Dog Bite Prevention Year."
Pet owners' efforts are critical when you consider the number of Postal Service employees attacked by dogs last year reached 6,755 - more than 200 higher than the year before.
Last month I saw a news story about Russia's plan to build new class of aircraft carriers. Right now, Russia only has one carrier, the Kuznetsov.
Hope for the Heartland
Early this spring, massive wildfires swept thru the rangelands of western Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Hundreds of thousands of acres of pasture, thousands of miles of fence, thousands of cattle, numbers of homes were burned and 7 people lost their lives. Local families with friends and relatives that live in that area kept them informed of the situation. I would like to give some credit to the many people that helped out in this awful situation.

In September I went to the funeral for the police officer in Shelby, North Carolina. I am an uncle of officer Tim Brackeen's wife. At first I hesitated to go as I expected that the crowd and the traffic would be tremendous. After hearing that a few family members from the Roanoke Valley decided not to go, I made a last minute decision to go to support my sister and my niece.

I've been searching for this book for months. Its about a girl who I believe was killed by a bus crashing into her while she was riding her bike. She woke up on a boat headed to the supposed afterlife. Once there she finds that everyone ages backwards, and once they have aged to a baby, they are shipped off down a slide to the real world where they are born again with no recollection of their past life. Anyone have absolutely ANY ideas?!
Thank You!!

text: INDIANAPOLIS, June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) today issued an alert about two illegal scams, purportedly using the name of the company and/or its subsidiary Elanco Animal Health, that are actively targeting the public through postal mail solicitations and job-seekers through online dialogue. Lilly and Elanco have no connection to any foreign lottery organizations and do not conduct the type of online recruiting described by the job-seeking victims of the scam. The activities described in these scams are completely fraudulent and are in no way affiliated with, or sponsored by, Eli Lilly and Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries. In the first scam, victims have reported receiving a letter from a foreign lottery sweepstakes organization indicating that the victims have won a large cash award. Included with the letter is a fraudulent check drawn on an account in the name of Eli Lilly and Company or its subsidiary Elanco Animal Health. The check is supposedly to cover lottery fees, taxes or other expenses. Victims are instructed to contact a claims agent, and are then told to deposit the check into their bank account and transmit an amount of money back to the lottery organization or to a broker. In the second scam, victims have reported being contacted through email or other online methods regarding potential employment opportunities with Lilly based on the victims' submission of information to certain resume and career websites. Through online dialogue, the victims are told they are either being considered for or are being offered employment with Lilly. At some point in the dialogue, the victims are told to expect a check to be delivered to them which they are to deposit into their bank account and then use the funds to purchase "working materials" from an online vendor.
