Frank Olson arrived at Frankfurt from the Hendon military airport in England and made the short drive west into Oberursel.
He had actually gone down to Hendon to offer himself as a husband to the breeches-maker's daughter.
However poor we are, Hendon, we need not lose our self-respect.
"Mark, old chap, the attack has begun;" and Hendon handed the letter to the former, who read it through.
I will not hear you speak like that, Hendon, my own darling brother!
"Yes, my dear; but Hendon will soon be in a position to provide comfortably for himself," said the doctor blandly.
Why, Mark," cried Hendon, "have you found out anything about your loss?
But if you will take me to Hendon I will never see him till I have papa's leave.
Be off for a bit, my boy," said Hendon; "or—no; go on with your work.
He tells me that Housman is in London but has taken a house near Hendon and comes up every day.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, April 18, 2002 http://www.hvcc.edu
Hudson Valley Community College's baseball team,
ranked No. 7 in the nation among Division III junior colleges in the most recent
poll, released yesterday, will play a doubleheader at Cooperstown's historic
Doubleday Field on Sunday, April 21. The two games, against SUNY Cobleskill,
will be played at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
"This is a great opportunity for Hudson Valley
Community College's student-athletes," said Drew Marrochello, Hudson Valley's
director of athletics. "They're going to play on the same field that legends
like Babe Ruth have played on. Doubleday Field is where Major League Baseball's
Hall of Fame game is played each year. This is truly an honor for our players."
Doubleday Field, built in 1939, is dedicated to
Abner Doubleday, the man credited with the invention of baseball. According to
many sources, Doubleday laid out the first baseball diamond, on farmland where
Doubleday Field now stands, back in 1839.
Doubleday Field, which is currently owned by the Village
of Cooperstown, was featured in the movie A League of Their Own.
At the conclusion of Sunday's doubleheader, the
Vikings plan to visit the adjoining National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hudson Valley, which was not ranked in the previous
Division III poll (the weekly poll encompasses approximately 80 teams from
across the United States), is 17-10-1 overall. SUNY Cobleskill is 1-10.
Jason Martin (Pine Bush H.S.) and Bobby
Krogh (Troy H.S.) lead the Vikings.
Martin is batting .375 with three home runs and 23 runs
batted in. He is 2-0 on the mound with a 1.13 earned run average. Krogh,
meanwhile, has a 4-0 won-lost record with a 3.41 earned run average and 23
strikeouts. He is hitting .320 with eight doubles.
"I'm so excited to play at Doubleday Field," Krogh said.
"This is baseball history. We're going to play where it all started."
In the 2000-01 academic year, Hudson Valley's athletic
teams combined to win 72 percent of their contests. The ice hockey team won the
NJCAA championship, the baseball team earned a berth in the NJCAA World Series
and the football team won the Region III title. The women's basketball team
earned a No. 1 national ranking and turned in a 24-3 record while the men's hoop
squad competed in the Region III championship game. Additionally, two Vikings
earned Region III Player-of-the-Year status, 20 were named All-Region III
performers, and 10 were honored with All-American status.

Little Boy keeps Droping 'F-Bombs' While trying to Say 'Thank You' [NSFW] [VIDEO]
Is he saying what I think he's saying?
In this little boy's defense, we've never truly considered how close the phrases "f–k you" and "thank you" can sound sometimes. Sounds Innocent enough. Problem is he likes hearing himself say it. OOPS! Take a look.

The man who died suspiciously on his property in North River early Sunday morning was helpful around the neighbourhood and never caused any trouble, say area residents.
Dale Porter would often clear snow from his neighbours' driveways before tackling his own, they say.
Porter was a fisherman and was even known to share seafood with several of his neighbours, and host a family social on New Year's Eve.
One neighbourhood youth said whenever he needed a tool to repair his bicycle, he could count on Porter for help.
"He had his faults, like all of us, but he was a decent person," one resident told The Compass Monday morning.
Originally from Port de Grave, Porter was in his early 40s and the father of two school-aged children — a boy and a girl — and was described as quiet and likable by his friends.
Those close to him say he was never in trouble with the law, though there had been some turmoil in his personal life in recent times.
Home in a taxi
Neighbours say their quiet neighbourhood was rattled by the sounds of emergency sirens and police vehicles speeding to Porter's house on North River Road, near the intersection with Efford's Lane, at about 4 a.m. Sunday.
Porter was discovered with serious injuries when responders arrived, and later died.
Police are being careful about the release of information, but sources say Porter was found by family members and friends outside his home, with a large amount of blood surrounding his body.
He was unresponsive when discovered, though a source said he was still breathing.
Sources say he came home in a taxicab from the Coach House nightclub in nearby Bay Roberts, and those in a second taxi discovered him on the ground.
Two strangers
A man who was at the bar that morning told The Compass he spoke with Porter shortly before he left and everything seemed normal.
He said there was no indication of any confrontation, and Porter was "joking and kidding around as usual."
Porter was not the type to start trouble, the man said.
Porter's death has rocked the entire Conception Bay North region, with many people wondering whether they should be bracing for more trouble.
That sense of insecurity was seemingly heightened by the fact that investigators had not immediately issued a statement about whether public safety was at risk.
A spokesman would only say that the RCMP is deploying all the resources necessary to bring the investigation to a successful conclusion.
But at about 1:30 p.m., the RCMP issued a statement, saying "there is no known threat to the general public resulting from this incident."
The death has sparked a flurry of speculation on social media about who might be responsible for Porter's death.
The man who spoke with Porter at the bar that morning said there were two strange men there dressed in leather, with one wearing a distinctive hat. Their attire did not mark them as members of a particular group.
He said one man was "pacing back and forth."
"I don't know if they had anything to do with this, but we didn't know who they were," said the man.
Taxi seized
Porter was driven home in a cab operated by Birch Hills Taxi. Police have seized the vehicle, owner Andy Bishop told The Compass today, and the two employees who made stops at Porter's house that night have left their jobs.
One of the drivers said he is traumatized by what he encountered Sunday morning. He asked not to be identified.
"As a driver, I was afraid about getting a knife in the back. I never thought I would see something like this," he said.
Bishop said Porter was a regular customer and was always co-operative and friendly.
"He liked getting out on the go on the weekends, but he was always a quiet fellow. He was a real good fellow to deal with," said Bishop.
Bishop said finding people willing to drive a taxi on the weekend is difficult because of the behaviour many drivers encounter. He expects this incident will not help the situation.
"With all the pills and the coke on the go, you can't trust them," said Bishop, who started his company two decades ago.
Bishop attributed the bad behaviour to "all the money that's on the go," adding "money drives everybody mad."
Autopsy being done
RCMP Sgt. Greg Hicks told The Compass this morning an autopsy will be conducted today.
Officers and forensic investigators have been at Porter's home on North River Road, about a kilometre from Veterans Memorial Highway, since Sunday morning. As of late this morning, the road remained closed.
There have not been any arrests, but Hicks confirmed the RCMP has been "speaking to a number of people."
Residents have voiced frustration over the lack of details being provided.

The story is elegantly summed up on the website of the left-wing PVDA party, who leaked the controversial list two days ago:
(Translated by me - original here)
Following a complaint to the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism, the Public Prosecutor in Brussels opened an investigation of Adecco in 2001. The company was said to discriminate in the recruitment of temporary employees. Eight years later, the company was let off the hook due to the fact that there never was any serious investigation. But the General Federation of Belgian Labour and SOS Racism got involved, and on May 31 of this year, Adecco was convicted. But the names of the companies that did not want to employ temporary workers of foreign origin were never made public. Solidarity (the newspaper of the PVDA) now makes up for this 'oversight'.According to the PVDA, the list comes from the case file from the official investigation.
In the list you can see the abbreviation BBB, which stands for Blanc Bleu Belge ("white, blue, Belgian"). This is a reference to the Belgian Blue cattle breed, which is also known as Belgian Blue-White. According to flandersnews.be:
The code was used to indicate that the firm did not want Adecco to recruit any members of the ethnic minorities for it. (...) Extra information is listed against the name of some companies like "often works with the police", "no scum" or "BBB or other nationality but no Arabs".Companies mentioned in the list include:
- Benetton Retail Belgium, part of the global luxury fashion brand Benetton Group.
- C&A, a Belgian-based chain of fashion retail clothing stores with 34,000 employees worldwide.
- Delhaize, one of Europe's biggest supermarket operators.
- Electrabel, the largest producer of electricity in the Netherlands and Belgium.
- Press Shop, Belgium's only specialized press retailer.
- Interbrew, now part of the largest brewing company in the world, Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Only one Adecco branch in Brussels was sentenced for this practice, as the court found no reason to hold the entire company responsible. However, it's natural to wonder whether this has been a general policy throughout the company.
Several of the companies mentioned on Adecco's racist list have expressed confusion and surprise at the publication of the list, stating that their policies support diversity and tolerance. But then how on Earth did they end up on Adecco's list of companies who only wanted white Belgians?

Season of many emotions ends
By Malcolm Moran, USA TODAY
MINNEAPOLIS The end was defined at the beginning,
on an uneventful evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium early in November. A taping
of a television show, not a game, was the reason students had gathered. As they
waited to start, they listened to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski direct their attention
to the banners hanging from the rafters.
"Whether you're in the class of 2001, 2, 3 or 4, I can
assure you that if you give what you've normally given, and we're fortunate
enough to have a banner put up, you will always identify it as being our banner,"
Krzyzewski told them. "Not the basketball team's banner, but our banner. And
so on this night, as we kick off the season, let's make a promise that we're
going to put our banner up there. And let's make a promise that the next time
we meet exactly like this will be when we return from Minnesota."
Before the screaming stopped, the coach of the Devils had
one more request: "Let's not just enjoy the beginning and the end of the journey.
Let's really enjoy the whole journey."
Human priorities
Too soon it would become clear that enjoyment was only
part of this journey's experience. For just the fourth time in 41 years, teams
ranked first and second before the season played for a national title. But in
the 5 months between Duke's promise made and the one that was kept, the unforeseen
became expected and sad reminders of vulnerability became much too frequent.
Such as the need of Utah coach Rick Majerus to take a leave of absence because
of his mother's cancer, his difficult recovery from knee surgery and the declining
condition of his old boss, former Marquette coach Al McGuire. Or the sudden
absence of Arizona coach Lute Olson on Dec. 9 when his Wildcats played at Connecticut
so he could assist his wife, Bobbi, who would die of ovarian cancer Jan. 1.
Or the chills that accompanied a question late on the night
of Jan. 27. Duke had just produced its last-minute comeback against Maryland
when the topic of conversation in emptying Cole Field House quickly began to
change with one question: Have you heard about Oklahoma State?
The details of the plane crash that took 10 lives, including
those of players Nate Fleming and Daniel Lawson, shook an industry that cannot
exist without wintertime travel. But it was the response from coach Eddie
Sutton and the remaining players, from the campus, the town of Stillwater, the
state of Oklahoma, the Big 12 Conference and beyond that made the conclusion
of Oklahoma State's season so memorable. The Cowboys reached the NCAA tournament
for the fourth consecutive season and 18th in school history.
Counting the success stories
Oklahoma State's success was one of a number of remarkable
achievements. In an era characterized by its complaints about poor shooting,
two shooting records were established this season. Cory Bradford of Illinois
made at least one three-point field goal in 88 consecutive games, and Gary Buchanan
of Villanova extended a free throw streak to 73.
The turns of the season ranged from the unforeseeable to
the once unthinkable. Indiana's Mike Davis led the Hoosiers to the Big Ten tournament
final, returned a sense of possibility to the program and earned the job as
permanent head coach. Stony Brook, in a dramatic revival led by coach Nick Macarchuk,
won 17 games, 11 more than in 1999-2000, its first season in Division I. The
Seawolves finished the season with a 12-game home winning streak, one more than
Boston College completed an unprecedented accomplishment
in the 22 years of Big East basketball a climb from worst record to league
championship. Mississippi's school-record 27-victory season ended with a No.
9 ranking in the final USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches' Poll, the highest in Rebels history.
Duke's Shane Battier, the national player of the year,
joined a group of four players in NCAA history to exceed 200 steals, assists
and blocked shots in their careers. The others? Lionel Simmons of La Salle,
Danny Manning of Kansas and George Evans, the 30-year-old senior who led George
Mason to an NCAA bid.
Exits and returns
But Greedy Daniels of Texas Christian, the nation's leader
in steals with 4.3 a game, including 12 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Dec.
30, was dismissed from the team before the end of the season amid reports that
he failed a drug test. Then there was the gathering of thousands in Lubbock,
Texas, for a news conference introducing Bob Knight as Texas Tech coach. Or
the sight of Rick Pitino standing before cheering Louisville fans as the new
coach of the Cardinals. Or the departure of Jerry Green from Tennessee after
a fourth consecutive season with 20 wins and an NCAA bid. The money has extended
the madness beyond March. So before the futures of teams will be determined
by the applications of underclassmen for the NBA draft, before the first Web
site projects next year's brackets before spring semester finals, here is some
information to help the withdrawal process: The field for the Coaches vs. Cancer
Classic on Nov. 8-9 at Madison Square Garden in New York will consist of Arizona,
Florida, Maryland and Temple.
For all those in Chapel Hill, N.C., and other places not
warmed by Duke's third championship, there are two words of bad news: Dahntay
Jones, the transfer from Rutgers who will be eligible next season for Krzyzewski.
"I just try to sing my song for this performance and not
worry about things," Krzyzewski said Tuesday morning after a happily sleepless
night. "It makes you healthier, and you coach for the right reasons. ... I just
had the most incredible year that I've had with a group of kids. And we would
have had that even if we had lost. It has been so good, this last month especially."
A nearly unreachable expectation was reached. A promise
was kept and a silent thank you delivered. When Duke sophomore Mike Dunleavy
climbed a ladder on the Metrodome floor to help cut down the net after making
seven of 11 second-half shots and scoring 18 of his 21 points, he leaned forward
and gave the rim a kiss.
"That was the basket that was good to me," he said.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
Boo Bear is 7 years old and oh what a love he is! He should be relaxing in a quiet, safe home and instead he has been shuffled back and forth to the rescue. Boo Bear was adopted from us earlier in the year and returned because his owner lost her home and the friend his owner moved in with would not let her keep Boo Bear. It's just so sad that such a sweet guy has been thru so much. Sweet, mellow and affectionate are a few of the words that describe Boo Bear. He likes hanging out with you and sleeping with you at night. Although he's a senior, Boo Bear still likes to play with toys and roll in catnip. He just wants someone to love him, FOREVER. He prefers a home where he can be the only cat. Boo Bear is patiently waiting for that special person with a big heart to come and take him home. Boo Bear has a sensitive stomach and requires a regimented feeding schedule.
Boo Bear, a Foothill Ranch Siamese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Foothill Ranch, or seeking a Siamese cat from a breeder in Foothill Ranch.

Sutter Health Statement Regarding Tragedy at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center
Over the weekend, an unfortunate medical error resulted in the death of a patient at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center (ABSMC). The accident involved a licensed and qualified nurse who is among those provided by an agency contracted by the hospital to care for patients as a result of the California Nurses Union strike.
This is a tragic accident, and ABSMC has expressed sorrow and sympathy to the patient's family. The medical center is conducting an investigation into the accident and is taking steps to identify any opportunities to enhance clinical quality and safety.
It is our responsibility each and every day — regardless of circumstances — to provide the safest, highest quality care possible. Our nurses and other caregivers across our network share compassion for our patients and a commitment to quality patient care. Contract nurses are no different. In fact, contract nurses are part of the daily complement of staff at most hospitals. These nurses are registered, highly trained and qualified, and they undergo screening and orientation before they come to work with us.
Union leaders are exploiting the tragic death of this patient to further their own bargaining purposes, which is a shame.
Our hearts go out to the family and the nurse.
More from the California Hospital Association.

GM Working on Wireless Pedestrian Detection Technology Using Wi-Fi Direct

GM working on detection systems for pedestrians to reduce accidents
General Motors has announced that it's working on new technology to help drivers detect pedestrians and bicyclists on congested streets or during poor visibility before the driver notices them. The technology relies on
Wi-Fi Direct
, which is a peer-to-peer wireless standard that allows devices such as smartphones and tablets to communicate directly with each other without needing a shared access point or network.
Researchers at GM have adopted a method that allows Wi-Fi Direct to be integrated with other sensor-based detection and driver alert systems already available in production vehicles to detect pedestrians and bicyclists that are carrying smartphones equipped with Wi-Fi Direct. GM also plans to develop an app that people who frequently walk or ride bicycles on the road can download and use to help Wi-Fi Direct vehicles identify them.
"This new wireless capability could warn drivers about pedestrians who might be stepping into the roadway from behind a parked vehicle, or bicyclists who are riding in the car's blind spot," said Nady Boules, GM Global R&D director of the Electrical and Control Systems Research Lab. "Wi-Fi Direct has the potential to become an integral part of the comprehensive driver assistance systems we offer on many of our Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC vehicles."
GM's Wireless Pedestrian Detection Technology hopes to reduce crashes like this. [Image Source: Talking Treads]
The development of a wireless pedestrian detection system is integral to GM's ongoing development efforts for vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems for advanced warning of hazardous and other issues on the road. By using Wi-Fi Direct rather than forcing the car to connect to a mobile network first, devices are able to connect in roughly one second compared to needing 7 to 8 seconds to acquire location information when connecting to a network.
Wi-Fi Direct technology could also allow drivers to securely transfer files such as music or digital address book information between the computer in the home and the vehicle navigation system in the driveway.
"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

[Manga] Sasuke leaving Konohagakure Good or Bad?
Personally it has been show it's good that he left, he's gotten a lot stronger than he could have done staying in Konoha training with Kakashi and walking dogs...Sasuke has chosen his path and it seems to be the right one but it would have been a big mistake! Oro could have taken over his body and maybe he will in the end it's unlikely to happen but there's a chance it could but right now "NO"...you know so the fuck what he's not Naruto's friend anymore you can't force the guy to be friends with you when he doesn't want to and not Sakura's damn boyfriend doesn't mean he's ruined his life.
Sasuke 's Goals and How he is now
1) Avenge a fallen clan.
2) Repopulate his clan.
3) Kill his brother Itachi.
while leading to this path he may have killed Orochimaru... helped out Oro's experiments
He obviously cares about others. He has always been about not letting others die.
He just doesn't like dealing with certain people and wants to do things his own way.
"You're annoying."
The perfect quote for how Sasuke sees many in the rest of the cast. Sasuke wants to gain strength , avenge his clan, repopulate his clan.On the way, he will do many positive things, and he has never actually done permanent harm to Konoha in any means. He has no reason to stay anyways...Sasuke is a good guy, he just is annoyed by Naruto and Sakura. Aren't most people who read this manga annoyed by Naruto and Sakura?
"Blah blah blah Hokage this blah blah blah ramen that blah blah blah."
"Sasuke-kun, I know you don't love me but have my babies!"
Oh yeah, and the poor guy had like 50 annoying girls chasing him around every day. Same applies in real life, to an extent. Like, say you have a really hot chick, but you prefer smartness to an extent as well. And, well, this chick, kinda dumb. Like, really dumb. The kind that just keeps on talking 24/7 and the like. Yeah. Really dumb.
I feel bad for Sasuke sometimes.
What's Naruto gonna say to Sasuke when they see him now?
Naruto : wow dude you're pretty strong.
Sasuke: yeah i know...Who are you again?
Naruto: it's me Naruto!!!!
Sasuke: oh yeah
Suigetsu: Sasuke-Sama we must leave now
Naruto: Sasuke-Sama what the fuck?
Sasuke: oh yeah i'm like the Otokage now...get it...haha

Hah...nice post Sasuke fan....
But i doubt it....Naruto never feared Sasuke....but he feared his future (Orochimaru)
He'll never say that quickly that Sasuke is strong....besides....Naruto has a jutsu which can pretty much kill everyone plus if they survive disable them for a long time (Kakuzu)
Sure it has effects for Naruto aswell...but probably the Kyuubi can help restore that damage alot faster then the average person.
No matter how powerfull either one of them will be....they will always be pretty much equal in strenght. Oro - Jiraiya // Sasuke - Naruto
Anyway...Sasuke hasnt proven yet that he is stronger then the Sannin because we all know that Oro was in a pathetic state.
So Sasuke leaving Konoha was bad...but right now...he is so filthy that he doesnt deserve to come back. Sakura & Naruto should give up on him...since Sasuke is still intending to kill them.
And i think that Tsunade only lets Naruto think that he can save Sasuke just to keep him within the country...because she probably knows that Naruto will go and leave Konoha anyway....to find Sasuke ----> Jiraiya/Orochimaru.

Exactly...that's why it wont bother him to kill them. A person like that...a former comrade like that should never be allowed to return to Konoha.
There is no way we can predict what Sasuke would do if Orochimaru didnt stop him (though i think they (Team Kakashi/Yamato) might've died at that point...he has shown sick techniques so far...) and he probably didnt learn that much in the last few days...

agree with you he has show some impressive techniques but the one i'm really interested in is the technique (it seems like he was about to use) he was about to use on Team Kakashi/Yamato.

Briefly Sasuke leaving Konohagakure is good for Sasuke as long as Orochimaru doesn't eat him/take over his body and bad for Naruto&Sakura.

Its was good that sasuke left because sicne he did hes now a god like figure in this manga, defeating oro with such ease, and lets not forget the thousands of ninja he beat without a scratch. You think he would be this powerfull if he had stayed in konoha? I dont think so.

Well Sasuke made a good choice.
His goal is still to kill Itachi.
He is cool guy, and he care about Sakura and Naruto. He dont want to kill them he only wanted to see if he is capable, like his brother when he killed all he love. But Sasuke isn`t coldblooded murderer, thats why he didnt kill Naruto.
I dont know what will be in the end, but he wont be anyones enemy. He just wanna revenge his family. And he will menage to do that by learning from Orochimaru who is best ninja.
Edit: Orochimaru is stronger then Jiraya and Sasuke is stronger then Naruto. That is fact and that will be till end.

I think most Konoha Jounins could kill Orochimaru in that state...but...when we talk about the body transfer technique then i think only the Sannin would win...
Orochimaru was YET AGAIN fighting with a terrible handicap

Actually i like all of youngsters except Naruto .. Gaara too, but u dont see that ppl spit on Gaara and Gaaras fans.
They all spit on Sasuke becouse they know that Sasuke is strongest and cool.
And Gaara was much more worse man/boy then Sasuke, and now when he is "good", he is still same as Sasuke.
Gaara / Kankouru and Temari
Sasuke / Naruto and Sakura
And still ppl dont say anything how Gaara treat his comrades buy saying to that he will kill them if they stay on his way, and when they were afraid to tell him anything..

Reviews for: Tuscon Farmers' Market East - Jesse Owens Park
Average Review:
1 review
Udall Park Farmers' Market
By: Sharon Schisel (May 18, 2010)
I have gone to many famers markets here in Tucson and other places around the US and I was very pleased to see that it was what a farmers market should be! It was mainly filled with food items, not just filled with artisan items like most farmers markets in Tucson have. I was very happy to see this. I love being able to buy my free range beef there. Everyone there was ready and willing to answer any questions you might have about their products. Love the local honey as well! Perfect for anyone suffering with allergies! Eat local honey to help fight against our local alergens. I recommend this farmers' market to all of my friends and all I talk to.

Remember treehouses? The heady concoction of peace, independence and freedom that you experienced sitting among the branches on a breezy summer day, watching the world go by? When the block was your universe, owning the keys to a palace above it all was powerful stuff. Spending an afternoon in a treehouse fell in the same category as having a lemonade stand or catching fireflies after dark—all old-fashioned rites of passage.
Today more kids play on the slide, swings and plastic rock-climbing wall of their pre-made play set than a treehouse in the backyard. In many suburban areas there are just fewer trees. And even if trees are available, some families consider building one from scratch too labor intensive. My husband, Jon, bless his heart, is part of the deranged few who still think treehouses are worth the trouble.
"There is something about a treehouse that is almost magical," he says. "It is like your own private kingdom."
Growing up, Jon's treehouse was nothing more than a platform in a large willow tree in his front yard that he assembled on his own when he was 10 or 11. Though a neighbor broke her arm falling out of it, his memories are nothing but sweet.
Even so, his treehouse was never finished to look like the picture he had in his head.
"I tried," says Jon, remembering his attempts to patch together lumber scraps. "But I also knew that I wanted it to be more."
It was that memory that drove him to build our kids their own kingdom—right alongside the slide and swings that were their sole playing pleasure until our treehouse became king of the backyard. While I wasn't sure how it would turn out, he proved me wrong. It wasn't as hard as I anticipated (speaking as the one who provided only refreshments and encouragement). And the results have been more than worth the effort—making the experience one that gives my husband the rare opportunity to say "I told you so" with authority.
Here is how we did it:
Step 1: Choose a tree
We picked a large silver maple in the backyard, the tree Jon had his eye on the moment we moved into our house in Batavia six years ago. It was a "great treehouse tree," he had remarked during our first walk-through.
And it was. Nestled behind the garage, the location was private enough to be a hideaway for our kids and discreet enough to keep the treehouse from offending the aesthetics of our neighbors.
Another plus was that while it could be seen from the kitchen window and our deck, and was big and strong—a safety must—the tree was not especially precious as far as trees go. "A weed tree," said a friend when I shared my worries that a treehouse might damage it. So we decided the risk was worth taking, understanding the sacrifice wouldn't be that great if our treehouse ended up being more than our tree could take.
The tree also met Jon's final criterion—a shape that naturally left room for a treehouse to perch amidst its branches. Its main boughs fanned out in a way that left enough space for it to easily hold the base (floor) of our treehouse—something the other trees in our yard didn't.
"The shape is perfect," Jon says. "I wouldn't be able to fit a floor in between the branches of the other trees."
Experts say maple, oak, beech and coniferous trees are best for treehouses. And the bigger the tree the better, says Patrick Fulton, a 25-year-old from Scotland who gives free treehouse building advice on his Web site, www.thetreehouseguide.com.
"A tree … with a diameter at least 16 inches at waist height indicates the tree is well established and can usually be assumed to have developed a sturdy root network," Fulton says. "Watch out for yellowing foliage and get an arborist to take a look if you are at all unsure the tree is healthy."
Step 2: Plan it out
Even though I checked out treehouse-building books from the library, visited numerous Web sites and pored over blueprint-style plans, in the end, all of the design work occurred inside my husband's head.
"I wanted to make it as simple and as safe as possible," says Jon. "I knew that it didn't need to be elaborate to be fun."
To stay true to his belief that simple was best, Jon decided a 4-foot-by-8-foot piece of plywood resting on top of 2-by-4 supports in the center of the main branches would act as a floor.
"I knew that if I could use that as a base and was able to secure it well, I could build a simple frame on top of it, and then add the walls and a roof," Jon says.
My dad was visiting the weekend Jon decided to tackle the project, and together the two of them worked through the details. After all was said and done, the "simple" plan became a treehouse big enough to hold six children, complete with a shingled roof and peephole windows too small for anyone to fall out of. To my husband, it was treehouse nirvana—and more attractive than a playhouse held up by stiltlike supports rather than the tree itself, as most of my research recommended.
"I've seen treehouses built that way and they look great, but to me, a real treehouse is one that is supported by the tree. I had fond memories of the book Swiss Family Robinson, and that was what a treehouse was to me—a stand-alone structure," Jon says.
Another Batavia resident, Peter Amrein, might beg to differ. He, too, built a treehouse for his family. Amrein used stilts to support it, a style experts say works best for urban families or those who don't have a tree big enough to support a treehouse on its own.
Amrein built his treehouse so the tree comes up through the middle of the floor. It includes a first-floor deck accessible by stairs and low enough so young kids can play there without parents worrying about them falling and getting hurt. A ladder leads to the second floor—the actual treehouse and deck area.
"My wife, Gail, and I talked about a couple of ideas and decided on a shape," Amrein says. "In the end, it wasn't much different than building a shed with a deck."
Whichever style works best for your family, experts suggest asking a few key questions before beginning to build: How big and how high do I want my treehouse to be? What type of entrance do I want (stairs, a rope ladder or something else)? Do I want to shingle the roof or add windows? Do I need approval from my local zoning board? To answer the last question, call your local village or city office. Step 3: Build your treehouse
When it is time to build, seek out experts at your local building center. The employee in charge of the construction desk at our local Menard's helped Jon draw a plan based on the treehouse size we had in mind—5 feet high and 4-by-8-feet in diameter.
Jon left the store with five sheets of plywood, about 30 2-by-4 planks, 300 shingles and a bevy of 3-inch-long screws and 5-inch lag bolts.
"The person that I talked to helped me calculate almost perfectly how much material I would need," Jon says. His counsel also helped Jon decide to use ¾-inch treated wood for the floor of the treehouse to prevent rotting and to cover the treated wood with another sheet of ½-inch untreated plywood to protect our kids from chemicals used in treated lumber.
The ½-inch untreated lumber was also used for the walls and roof (once they were framed with the 2-by-4 lumber). Jon also used additional 2-by-4 planks to support the treehouse by attaching them on an angle to both the tree and the underside of the floor.
Throughout the project, he used screws and supported those with the 5-inch lag bolts. As the last step, he shingled the roof, giving it extra protection and a finished look. While Jon was worrying about the safety of the kids who would one day play in the treehouse, I spent the day worrying about him. When he realized he would not be able to lift the treated plywood floor 11 feet into the crook of the tree alone—or even with the help of my dad—he cut it in two and slid the pieces up a ladder and into place.
That was much smarter than the way he shingled—hanging off the side of the roof with the nails held in his mouth and the shingles propped against a tree branch.
"I thought that the neighbors were probably looking out the window thinking, 'That guy is crazy!' " Jon remembers.
I know I was.
While experts say a treehouse can be built for as little as $150—or cost as much as $1,000 with a purchased plan—ours cost around $300. It took Jon about 20 hours over the course of two weeks to finish it. Two years later, we still haven't stained it as we planned to—again, with Jon hanging off the roof, this time with a paint brush in hand—but the wood still has a nice golden patina anyway.
Step 4: Fine tune for safety
"My whole goal was to make it as safe as I possibly could," says Jon. "I wanted to do all I could to make sure that no one would fall out accidentally."
To achieve that final goal, he took several additional steps after the treehouse was built.
Once completed, he fine-tuned access by installing a removable ladder. If we aren't around to monitor play, the ladder is put away.
"I chose to do it that way for security and safety reasons," Jon says. "It keeps neighbor children out while we aren't there to watch them, and our own children have to ask us to put the ladder in place before they go up."
The round and rectangular windows Jon cut into the walls were placed at a child's eye level so no one would be tempted to lean and topple out. Another of Jon's safety ideas was a door that swings only in, not out.
But the biggest safety precaution we took was setting firm rules about treehouse play: No one under the age of 5 can venture up without an adult. No more than one person on the ladder at a time. The door stays closed once everyone is up. No horseplay when entering or exiting.
It seems to have worked. To date, no one has fallen out, and all the Cunningham children are enjoying the treehouse in good health.
Step 5: Make memories
Although my youngest son, Beau, now 3, is too little to remember it being built, Alec, 9, and Isabel, 6, remember the treehouse building experience as one of the more exciting outdoor adventures they witnessed. The treehouse impresses every child who comes over to play and is routinely filled with little girls in the middle of a craft project or third-grade boys intent on spying on the neighbors.
There are now bean bags and yard chairs up there on a regular basis and a shelf for all the miscellaneous treehouse toys. A squirrel even set up camp there early last spring and had to be kicked out.
For our brood, sitting among the branches on a breezy summer day, watching the world go by, has become an everyday summer pleasure. Jon's hope, and one I share, is that it will be something they'll remember—along with having a lemonade stand and catching fireflies after dark—as one of the more poignant rites of passage in the journey of childhood.

7 of the Strangest Superhero Origins in Comics
Let's face it, folks: not everyone can be rocketed to Earth from a doomed planet just moments before it explodes. With thousands of comic book characters out there, some of them are going to spring from beginnings that are less than humble. It's just the law of averages.
That's the lesson that we think we can learn from this week's "DC Universe Origins" paperback, which collects the two-page origin stories that ran in "52." And while the creators did a great job summing up the "who they are and how they came to be" for characters like Batman, Wonder Woman and the Joker, there are plenty of others who got their starts in strange, bizarre, and occasionally outright terrible ways! Which is why we here at ComicsAlliance, ever the champions of the underdog, have put together a look at our favorites from seven decades of bizarre origins!
Here's the short version: Originally a teenage amnesiac with super-powers that Batman found in Europe and promptly put to work fighting crime (because, you know, he's Batman and that's what he does when he finds teenagers), young Gaby Doe was eventually revealed to be Violet Harper, a sociopathic juvenile delinquent who was murdered by an agent of Tobias Whale, a hugely obese albino that used to fight Black Lightning. And this is where it starts to get weird.
As Violet's soul exited her body, it was replaced by Aurakle, an energy being from the beginning of time that came to Earth and apparently got its kicks spying on teenage girls. Thus, traumatized by "death," Aurakle got amnesia but kept its super-powers, and Halo was born.
All in all, pretty simple. Now if someone could just explain why anyone likes Geo-Force…
We love that guy.

Of all the things you could do to try and verify a human is at the keyboard, captcha has to be the worst. It is SO very (very) difficult to read. After 5 attempts I almost flipped off your site and went to a competitor site. I mean you've got a blurry "i" that looks like a "t" and it's smeared and twisted and partially rotated. I'm turning my head all over the place trying to figure it out (etc).
I'm not even sure why the damn thing came up. My password was auto-filled the first time and correct. The next time this happens and it takes more than 3 tries I'm never coming back (not to be a dick, that was just annoying beyond words).
edit: The other thing that's brought me close to never coming back again is getting emails the CASH I 've given you for "credit" (which you have to do to pay the lower price – nice penny pinching greedy scam) is going to expire after a year (even though the credit that's a year old should have been spent before newer purchased credit, but your system at least for me got confused).
Me: I'd like a gallon of milk Greedy A-Hole: That will be $5 or $3 if you give me $20 which I will convert into credit. Me: WTF ? I'm confused. Why can't I just give you $3 cash right now? Greedy A-Hole: Look, stop wasting my time before I have my hired thugs hold you upside down and shake all the change out of your pockets while I have starving 3rd world children collect the lint that falls out to make $30 t-shirts. Me: I'm still lost, I have to give you $20 right now to get a $3 gallon of milk? Greddy A-Hold: Yes, or just give me $5 right now. Act now and I'll lube you up real nice before I bend you over.
What lightbox / player is videohive using for previews?
Just curious, I need to create a simliar lightbox video style for a page and I like the way it works here.
I would assume this line would take my need to 'extended':
Single piece of computer software or training material, including education material, intended to be distributed or accessed by multiple people
Although you could also say a free to download video cast could fall into that even though that need would be standard. It seems a bit fuzzy when you're need is for mass viewing inside a restricted network (Private Intranet).
I've been working for the last few months on an internal Corporate web application (Intranet App). I'm near the end and recording a video tutorial/overview. If a wanted to purchase an opener for the tutorial, is that a standard or extended license? It doesn't seem to fit into either description.
It would be used under these conditions: -Not for sale -Not viewable by the public (Limited to being viewed only inside a corporation LAN /Intranet)
I have no budget for this – just wanted a little spice at the tutorial beginning. I'll probably roll my own intro if the case would be Extended.
I've had my head buried in Ruby on Rails for the last 7 months. I really miss AE (and games…).
I was checking out the Ruby on Rails 3 introduction video and the background music sounded so familiar. After a couple of seconds I remembered "Beautiful Worlds" ( http://audiojungle.net/item/beautiful-worlds/45119 ). It's funny; it was like playing the "I know I've seen that actor in another show/movie" game.
Really cool – I'd be proud of I had a track that was used in the Rails 3 announcement video. I'd guess most people wouldn't have much of a clue what Ruby on Rails is though. If you're into web applications, it's really really big.
heck I just went to the next video about the new Action Dispatch module and that one is backed by "rockit" ( http://audiojungle.net/item/rock-it/16583 ). lol http://rubyonrails.org/screencasts/rails3/getting-started-action-dispatch
I just noticed both of these 6 month old projects have claimed the #1 and #3 top sales slots. I don't often sort by sales when looking for something to use. It seems like the Spectrum project had #1 locked down forever (along with Glide). NickolasM has actually passed Spectrum by 50 sales (wow – awesome).
Congrats Wayman & NickolasM!
Or just a couple of easy to make new Top Sales filter options would be nice (copy Top Sales code, add date limiter to where clause of query)
1) Top Sales – Last 6 Months 2) Top Sales – Last 12 Months
I'm a big fan of the Logitech G11 . It's cheap and backlit and there's 18 extra macro keys on the left that can be assigned macros or functions (per application). There's three bank levels for the 18 keys, so for each application you have 54 extra keys you can use. You can assign keyboard shortcuts "CTRL+ALT+T" to a single key or record a set of keystrokes that can be played back at full speed or with the user pauses between keystrokes matched.
For more complicated things, I use Macro Express (http://www.macroexpress.com/index.htm) and assign Macro Express macros to the G11 macro keys. With Macro Express, you can respond to system events (a single pixel changing color on the screen, a file being created in a directory, etc) so you can pretty much automate anything.
Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)
Indoor recording looks better than I expected. CCD 's must be improving really fast. All I see looking around is 30fps @ 720p. I wonder what the compression method and bit rate are?

Windows 7 is a hot rod Ken. XP is 10 years old now, it's ancient. I understand what you're saying about reinstalling a lot of programs. It's a 12 hour day for me. Here's what I do though:
Get a new system drive (small, fast, a small SSD drive is the best choice if you can afford it):
1) disconnect all drives and plug in your new system drive 2) do as much work as you feel like, installing Windows 7 and apps 3) disconnect the new system drive and reconnect the old drives (repeat when you have time)
You could spread out the work of setting up Windows 7 as long as you want to and never been in a rush to get everything done because you need the system back.

Book Review
Bryan Anderson~
Escaping from a worldwide nuclear war, a plane full of British boys retreats to a safe country. Halfway between England and their destination, a violent storm strikes, leaving them marooned on a deserted island. A fair-haired boy, Ralph, sees that he must summon all the boys on the island to decide what they will do now that they must look after themselves. He finds a conch shell and blows it, making the sound echo through the trees. "We must set up rules and elect a chief," says one of the littl'uns. "After all, we're not savages; We're British!" Jack, a hot-tempered redhead, decides that he should be leader. "No; Let the guy that blew the trumpet thing be leader!" says the miniature crowd of boys. They decide to vote, and, unanimously, Ralph wins. After time passes, the boys instinctively become more savage. Ralph desperately tries to maintain control over the boys, but they cannot be controlled. The savageness results in the death of two characters. Genuine characters and a gruesome plot make William Golding's The Lord of the Flies frighteningly realistic.
Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, and Samneric all seem authentic. Their actions appear to be made by actual people, instead of a single author. "We must build a fire at the top of the mountain in case a ship passes our island," says Ralph.
As fear and superstition set in, Jack exclaims, "Look! It's the beast!"
"I remember seeing one of those," replies Piggy, "You can blow it if you push the air from down here," pointing to his diaphragm.
Simon, a lesser character, even acts with a sensible person's mind, "I don't believe in the beast. Let me try to find it." Everything the boys say, think, and do on the island fits in perfectly with the plot.
Along with convincing characters, the plot of this novel is incredible. Every detail is planned out and creates an eerie, grim mood. Along with the degeneration of the boys' society comes terrible things. The boys' savagery appears very slowly in small acts, such as the killing of the pigs and defiance to Ralph. The plot is so timed out that we are taken aback when a murder is committed. Not long after Simon's sickening death, Piggy is intentionally crushed under the weight of a massive boulder. Nudity and bloodshed is worked into the story line strongly enough to make us sick. The story line works so well with the believable characters that readers grimace as the novel unfolds.
William Golding's The Lord of the Flies is an incredible book that cannot be written in a more realistic manner. Characters and plot work together like clockwork and create an exceptional story. Gruesome details are smuggled into the plot and characters slowly deteriorate to savages in the paperback classic. The Lord of the Flies is constructed as a realistic horror story that takes our breath away.

CCA BURGLARS CAUGHT ON TAPE (Update)
Berkeley, California (Thursday, January 14, 2010) - On September 30, 2009, the City of Berkeley Police Department (BPD) asked for the community's help in identifying the suspects pictured below, who were believed to be responsible for two daytime residential burglaries. The burglaries occurred between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on the 1500 and 1600 blocks of Sacramento Street. Images of the suspects were captured from security cameras inside one of the victim's homes.
BPD learned their identities a few weeks later, when forensic evidence recovered at the crime scenes matched the two suspects listed below.
Demetrius Carroll Garland Keith Callum Jr.
8/3/90, of Rodeo 03/01/91, of Berkeley
Detectives obtained Burglary arrest warrants for Carroll and Callum. Carroll was arrested on October 30, 2009 while walking on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley. Callum remains at large.
If you know the whereabouts of Callum or have additional information about these crimes, please contact the Berkeley Property Crimes Detail (510) 981-5737. If you were the victim or witness to a similar crime, or the victim of a crime that has just occurred or is in progress, please immediately report it to the BPD Dispatch at (510) 981-5900 or, from your cell phone, at (510) 981-5911.


text: I see a lot of landscape software companies starting to come out with "mobile Software" to load onto a PDA and give your employees. Instead of getting a route sheet they get a PDA with there schedule loaded on there. Some even have gps and navigate your employees to the job site. Some are now even in Spainish. What I want to know is how have your employees adapted to using this technology. As an owner I see this as a great benefit, however I know my employees are extremely reluctant to change.(Its hard to even get them to use a new brand of equipment) So what are your experiences with giving employees these PDA devices?

|This article reads like a press release or a news article and/or is entirely based on routine coverage. (June 2016)
|Redwood City, California
Shopkick is an American company based in Silicon Valley that created a shopping app for smartphones and tablets that offers customers rewards for walking into stores. It uses points called "kicks" which are usually awarded when users walk into participating stores. Kicks are also awarded by scanning product barcodes or QR Codes using a device's camera, and by making purchases, .[1] The app is currently available for iOS (both iPhone and iPad) and Android devices.
Kicks can be redeemed for various rewards such as gift cards, iTunes song downloads, movie tickets, and Facebook Credits, among others. Rewards are relatively low. The first prize level consists of $2 for various retailers like Amazon, Target, etc. Users can also receive special discounts on specific products at specific stores. Partner stores currently include Target, Best Buy, Macy's, Crate & Barrel, Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, Sports Authority, JCPenney, and many others. The program is also supported by 70 brands, which currently include P&G, Unilever, Mondelez, Colgate, Revlon, Disney, Levi's and HP.[2]
Shopkick receives a fee for each kick a customer earns. If a customer buys something after using the app, shopkick gets a percentage of the price.[3] On July 23, 2013, shopkick launched in-app purchasing so that users can browse and buy products while using the app.[4]
Shopkick reached its first profitable quarter in Q4 2012, and produced $200M in revenue for its partners in 2012, and $500M in 2013[5] and was ranked the most widely used and most engaging shopping app in the real world by Nielsen in 2012.[6]
In October 2014, shopkick launched in Germany with 10 retail and brand partners nationwide and ProSiebenSat.1 as a strategic partner, in shopkick's first international expansion.[7]
Also in October 2014, shopkick was acquired for over $200M in cash by SK Planet, part of SK Group and SK Telecom, a Fortune 100 company and the mobile commerce market leader in South Korea, in the largest mobile commerce transaction to date.[8]
Early 2016, shopkick acquired the technology and team of Theneeds to support the company personalization efforts as it continues to re-imagine the shopping experience for consumers, retailers and brands.[9]
Shopkick, based in Redwood City, California (in Silicon Valley), was co-founded by Cyriac Roeding, Jeff Sellinger, and Aaron Emigh in 2009[10] and has investors that include venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, as well as Reid Hoffman (co-founder of LinkedIn Corp), and Greylock Partners.[11] The company has raised $20 million in venture funding.[12]
CEO Cyriac Roeding, founder and EVP of CBS's mobile unit, created the concept of rewards for walking into stores while an entrepreneur-in-residence at Kleiner Perkins.[13]
The shopkick app was released in August 2010, initially with five national retail partners on board: Macy's, Best Buy, Sports Authority and American Eagle Outfitters, and the Simon Property Group.[14]
In November 2010, shopkick announced it had added Target to its list of retailers deploying its platform and mobile app. Target also offers scannable mobile coupons to customers for redemption at checkout.[13][15] In May 2011, Crate and Barrel joined shopkick.[16] Shopkick added Old Navy, a Gap Inc. brand, to its list of retail partners in November 2011.[17] Shopkick and ExxonMobil partnered in April 2012 to give mobile reward to customers at more than 375 gas stations in Miami, New York and Washington, D.C.[18]
In May 2012, Target announced it would be integrating all 1,764 of their stores nationwide with shopkick. Target was testing out the app with their stores in 7 cities previously, and quoted "rave reviews" as the reason to roll out nationwide.[19] American Eagle also rolled out shopkick nationwide to all its 1,000 stores. MasterCard announced a partnership with shopkick in July 2012 that will allow their cardholders to earn "kicks" by linking their card with shopkick's Buy & Collect program.[20]
Sports Authority and the Sony store has joined the walk in program as well. Others sporadically participate with batches of products - including Walgreens with scans of their private label and the Verizon Wireless stores. However, this participation is usually only for limited intervals.
Shopkick drove $200M in revenue for its partners in 2012, and reached its first profitable quarter in Q4 2012.[5] American Eagle's EVP Fred Grover said "Our Shopkick customers buy twice as often as a non-Shopkick user and have helped increase in-store traffic.".[21] In 2014, shopkick announced it had driven over $1 billion in revenue for its partners, $500M of which came in the previous 12 months.
Nielsen ranked shopkick as the most widely used shopping app in the real world in 2012 (more than any physical retailers' own apps), and as the most engaging shopping app (min spent/user).[6]
Retailers using shopkick say they find they can drive more customers into stores by offering additional reward points.[22] One of the partner retailers is estimating $50 million in measurable incremental revenue as a result of the shopkick mobile app.[23]
As of January 2015, shopkick had 200 brand partners, including Procter & Gamble, Disney, Mondelez, Unilever, Revlon, Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Unlike other location-enabled applications, shopkick doesn't rely on GPS triangulation.,[24] because GPS is too inaccurate to detect true presence of consumers in stores. Instead, shopkick created a highly accurate inaudible audio signal that is unique to each store that can be detected by smartphone users who have the shopkick app installed, when the app is open.[25] Once a shopkick Signal is detected, the app delivers reward points called "kicks" to the user for walking into a retail store, trying on clothes, scanning a barcode and other actions.[23] The audio signal is broadcast through a small transmitter in the store (no internet required, just power). Shopkick also rolled out a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) presence solution (Apple iBeacon-compatible) in its audio/iBeacon hybrid called shopBeacon. With over 8,000 large stores deployed (including all Macy's and Old Navy stores), shopkick has the largest iBeacon deployment worldwide in retail as of early 2015.

User Reviews[edit]
The fourth version of the app, released on October 30, saw a sharp decline in user satisfaction, with the newest version drawing less than four stars among user reviews in the Apple App Store.[26] Many users have complained that shopkick will deactivate accounts and prevent users from cashing in their kicks. It's unclear what happens to the data and who actually benefits from these situations. Retailers and manufacturers generally participate in these programs because they are trying to build customer satisfaction. Users would argue that this practice defeats the purpose.

You can search to see if anyone else has done research by entering names in the search engine on www.rootsweb.com
I found, after varying the last name spelling to McMullin.
Martha Jane McCullin & on of the researchers had the listing of the children, so I typed in his name, Connie Hugh Jordan, and begin searching www.ancestry.com for their information.
Also go to www.usgenweb.com, click on your choice of state, for instance Texas, and then go to full list of counties --->Wood Co, TX on there I found the marriage date
for Martha Jane McMullen & A.J. Jordan 16 Dec 1880.
hope this helps. Jennefer

|MSHA Job Safety Tips
The Pennsylvania anthracite industry saw 1995 as its worst year of the last decade for fatal injuries and accidents.
From 19931995, four miners died while installing either roof or rib supports. Two of the miners were working inby support, a deadly practice nationwide.
Additionally, two miners were injured and only a save by the canopy on a continuous miner prevented another fatality.
To prevent yourself from becoming the next statistic:
- Always test the roof and ribs before proceeding inby to install temporary supports.
- Know your roof and rib control plan requirements and install additional support where needed.
- Take a minute or two to observe the area to be supported. Look for cracks or other indications of faults present.
- Prepare, in advance whenever possible, a list of the materials needed.
- When installed supports indicate excessive loading, install additional support/relief timber, from outby, advancing toward the area needing supports.
- Never work inby support other than to install new supports.
