Cliff swallows have moved onto, rather than into the Museum! Last week, Kimball Garrett, Museum bird expert, reported finding a nest under the eaves of the building directly facing the historic LA Memorial Coliseum. As he got close enough to snap this photograph, Kimball observed a pair of young swallows peering out of their finely crafted mud dwelling.
Check out that architecture! The adult breeding pair work together to collect mud pellets from the immediate area and use their bills to transport and mold them into a viable nest. Cliff swallows, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, have historically nested on our building–back in the 80s and 90s Kimball would see them every year–but recently they have been noticeably absent. We are not sure what has caused them to return, but we're definitely tracking their progress and hope they return next year. As their name implies, before humans came along these birds would build their mud nests on vertical cliff faces. Today, they are just as easily found nesting under freeway bridges, and in the eaves of buildings. Locally, cliff swallows are remembered fondly as the, "famous Mission San Juan Capistrano birds." For two centuries a celebration has been held for the annual appearance of these birds at the mission. The story goes that like clockwork the birds would show up on March 19th, Saint Joseph's Day, to nest on the old church buildings. But recently, due to urbanization, the birds have been bypassing the mission and nesting elsewhere. Although we don't have hundreds of swallows nesting at the Museum, we are an attractive enough site to host a nest–we have everything they need. A building where they can find good attachment points with physical protection from above, a decent supply of flying insects to eat, and mud for constructing their nest. However, as Kimball points out life in the city isn't easy for a cliff swallow, there are aggressive animals to deal with. The two creatures of concern are house sparrows, Passer domesticus, and unfortunately, us humans. In the bird world, house sparrows are notorious aggressors. They steal nests, destroy eggs, throw baby birds out of nests, and generally wreak havoc on all manner of other birds. Because house sparrows are not native to North America (they were purposefully introduced to the US in the 1850s) and are such a threat to native bird species, some bird enthusiasts choose to actively deter them and/or remove them from their property. It is important to note that, because house sparrows are an introduced species and therefore not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, people are allowed to remove house sparrows and their nests. Not true for the native cliff swallows. However, many home and business owners chose to illegally knock down swallows nests constructed on their buildings. We here at the Museum choose to celebrate our cliff swallows and all of the nature that calls our Nature Gardens home.

A few weeks ago, Sam Easterson followed a trail of tin foil and discovered the den of a Virginia opossum, Didelphis virginiana, underneath one of the Museum's storage sheds. Since then he set up camera traps around the den to see what was going on. This is what we found...A night of tin foil escapades. What on Earth are they doing with all the tin foil? Tin foil hats to ward off alien thought control maybe?
All kidding aside, it seems that this opossum has extracted a tasty morsel from inside the shiny package and is taking it down into the den.
Afternoon stroll?The next day, one of the opossums emerges for a late afternoon jaunt in the park, and takes a peek at the camera trap!Running away from Museum security!Can you see the flash light?Doing the Chores Finally, we caught lots of images of the opossums collecting leaves with their tails! Their prehensile tails are a great tool for grasping small objects and are sometimes used for hanging upside down in trees. Though the notion that they sleep hanging upside down is a myth, their tails are not strong enough to hold them upside down for an entire night.
Wait, there's more tin foil!What is in store for 2012? Sam's got a few tricks up his sleeve, which I'm not willing to reveal just yet. Suffice it to say that we're all hoping there will be babies in the spring! Happy 2012!

I know you've seen a lot of still images from the Black Phoebe, Sayornis nigricans, nest, but I just had to share this footage. Honestly, it is too good not to post. At the beginning of the video you'll see one of the adults (hard to tell if it's the mom or dad, they both help to care for the nestlings) feeding a European Honey Bee, Apis mellifera, to one of the young. This in and of itself is pretty awesome to see, but it gets even better! Remember the Bushtit post? I told you all about how some species of birds produce fecal sacs, to make it easier to keep the nest clean and disease free. Well, Black Phoebes also produce fecal sacs, and this video gives you an insight to this behavior. I'll let you judge for yourself whether you think it's gross, cool, or just plain interesting.

More Nest SurveillanceThis week we found another active bird nest! This nest belongs to a pair of Black Phoebes, Sayornis nigricans, and is built under the eaves of the Rose Garden maintenance shed. Once again this find is thanks to Kimball Garrett, who noticed the nest Monday morning on one of his regular Expo Park bird surveys. Footage of the phoebe landing on her nestNaughty NeighborsThis is the second nest Kimball has found in this location this year, but it is a site that has been used by phoebes in past years. Unfortunately, this year's first nest was disturbed by unknown causes, but it is possible that a squirrel is to blame. Eastern Fox Squirrels, Sciurus niger, are very common in Expo Park, and they are known nest predators. When they locate a nest they will eat any eggs or young birds they find. We'll never know for sure if a squirrel is to blame for the first nests' failure, but fortunately the phoebes persevered and built a second nest.

Kimball checks out the nest
The mirror reveals four eggs in the clutchNow that we know there are eggs, we are going to regularly monitor the nest. I'll keep you posted as the eggs are incubated, they hatch and then the immature birds develop. If we are lucky, we'll be able to document the entire process.

New Neighbors A pair of Bushtits, Psaltriparus minimus, just built their nest in the live oak tree behind the Butterfly Pavilion. Kimball Garrett, our resident bird expert, found the nest this Monday and promptly sent me an e-mail detailing the nest's location. As soon as I got into work on Tuesday morning, I headed out to the Butterfly Pavilion to check it out.
Adult Bushtit, Psaltriparus minimus Nest Hunt Thankfully Kimball had given clear instructions to find the nest, as it was very well hidden in the oak foliage. The effort was well worth it, as it was one of the coolest nests I've ever seen in the wild. As the picture below shows their nests are woven from dry plant material and hang from branches of the tree. They are small and dainty, this one measures about seven inches from top to bottom. The small opening at the top of the nest, which is only about an inch in diameter, is just big enough for the adults to enter and exit.
Bushtit entering nest Bushtit Behavior After spending a good portion of my morning watching the nest, I realized I had to blog about it. But what is a blog without images, or even better some actual video footage. I ran up to my colleague, Sam Easterson's office to see if he could get some for me. Sam recorded the nest for about an hour, and we captured some interesting behaviors, including removal of fecal sacs! A fecal sac is clean, tough membrane that encloses the excrement of young birds. Not all birds produce fecal sacs, but for those that do sacs are usually produced directly after each feeding and promplty removed by the adult to maintain a clean nest interior. Bushtit cleaning nest Sam Easterson is a video naturalist and also our new Media Producer for the North Campus and Nature Lab exhibits. He's really into implanting cameras into natural environments, and is best known for his animal borne imaging work.

165 and Counting...Earlier this week, Kimball Garrett, NHMLA Ornithology Collections Manager, spotted a not-so-common sight, a pair of Rufous Hummingbirds, Selasphorus rufus, in the Rose Garden. This hummingbird species is now number 165 on Kimball's Exposition Park Checklist. Over the last 28 years, Kimball has been keeping track of all the birds he sees in Exposition Park, even those that are just doing a fly-over!
Male Rufous Hummingbird An Annual MigrationMost of the year Rufous Hummingbirds cannot be found in our region, but in March and April they are often seen passing through. Every year this bird makes an over 3,000 mile migration from its overwintering grounds in Mexico to the Pacific Northwest. It is easily confused with one of our local hummingbirds, the Allen's Hummingbird, and so is often missed in species counts (maybe that's why it has only just made it onto Kimball's checklist). Males of both species have red-brown markings on their sides and tails, but only the Rufous Hummingbird also has them on its back. If you have a hummingbird feeder in your yard, keep your eyes open for this hummingbird stopping by to fuel up!

Welcome to the hundreds of miles Maine has to offer for your canoeing pleasure. Maine has a fairly long canoeing season thanks to many dam controlled rivers and lakes. Many people find the late summer / early fall the best time to canoe in Maine. The fall colors are usually at their peak that time of year too. Be sure to do your research before you come to Maine and explore what we have to offer.
River ClassificationsClass I through VI
Class I : Easy
Flatwater to occasional rapids characterized by low, regular waves. Obstructions such as rocks are easy to avoid. The best route down the river is easily recognized and easy to maneuver through.
Class II : Medium
Frequent rapids characterized by high regular waves up to three feet in height. Easy to medium chutes, ledges, or falls. Back eddies and different currents are easy to negotiate. The best route is easy to recognize and maneuver.
Class III : Difficult
Numerous rapids with high, irregular waves, rollers, breakers, and back eddies. This will require skilled maneuvering. Chutes, falls, and ledges are considered difficult.
Class IV: Very Difficult
Long, difficult sections of rapids with high irregular waves, breakers, powerful back eddies, whirlpools, sharp bends, and constricted canyons. Chutes, falls, and ledges have powerful rollers and undertow.
Class V: Extremely Difficult
Long sections of continuous violent rapids with very high irregular waves. Most of the waves are unavoidable. The current is usually very fast with powerful eddies and whirlpools. River routes are usually complicated.
Class VI: All whitewater Class VI rapids are considered nearly impossible and extremely dangerous. These rivers are run only in the best of conditions.
River Dangers
When canoeing on some of Maine's lakes and rivers there are risks involved. Here are few dangers that you may encounter when you are canoeing.
Canoe Safety
When coming to canoe in Maine it is important to remember many of the rivers you will be traveling are remote and have very little road access to them. Canoe and water safety are paramount to having a safe and enjoyable time in Maine.Equipment to Bring and getting your boat ready
Check out your canoe before you leave home. Check for cracks and wear from the last time you used the canoe. Check the bolts that hold the seats and thwarts into place. They have the tendency to rattle loose when you are transporting the canoe by car. Bring some extra bolts just in case. Also remember to secure the canoe properly to your car or trailer.
Items to bring when you canoe:
Making Reservations on Allagash Wilderness Waterway & Penobscot River Corridor:
In both of these areas the campsites are available on a first come first served basis. There is no reservation system in place. It is recommended you arrive at your campsite early during your trip to insure that you have a place to stay. You will be assessed a fee to access these areas through checkpoints run by the landowners. Bowater and North Maine Woods are the two companies that run checkpoints in the area. Bowater operates checkpoints north of Rockwood, Greenville, and Millinocket North Maine Woods operates gates close to Ashland, Allagash, and Eagle Lake. The checkpoints close around 11pm and reopen around 5 am. They do not take credit cards. You will also be charged a fee to camp in the Allagash Waterway and Penobscot River Corridor.
Making Reservations in the North Maine Woods Management Area:
North Maine Woods operates a variety of camping areas north and south of Millinocket including areas around Gulf Hagas and the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. They are usually require a reservation. Most of the campsites are in areas which are working forests. There is fee to enter the checkpoint and a campsite fee. They do not take credit cards.
For More Information Contact:
North Maine Woods, Inc.
Know what to wear:
Having the right type of clothing can make your canoe trip in Maine very enjoyable. The weather can change quickly so it is important to be prepared.
Each Person Should Have
Try to bring clothing that will keep you warm even it gets wet. Wool, polypropylene, and pile works well for that. It also helps to dress in layers.
Always keep your eye to the weather and have your rain gear handy. "If you don't like the weather wait a minute"
What sort of weather should I expect:
Looking to come to Maine and canoe but feel more comfortable with an experienced guide. You will find below a list of companies that we suggest.

National uncertainty clouding local economy
Uncertainty continues to plague the American economy and psyche. It will continue to do so until Congress and the president establish a firm path forward. One important step was taken this week when an 11th-hour, bipartisan effort resulted in a package of tax increases on the wealthiest Americans, and in so doing avoided a major tax increase across the majority middle class of taxpayers.
However, we know as a nation we are still living on a diet unsustainably rich in debt. The hardest part of the work - tightening our belts - lies ahead.
Delaware's senior U.S. senator, Sen. Tom Carper, enigmatically voted against the compromise plan that averted a tax increase on the middle class. Had Carper's position been espoused by a majority of his colleagues, most of us would now be facing a significant tax increase this year.
In a statement regarding his vote, Carper said Congress missed an opportunity to approve a grander plan. He wasn't willing to support a measure that didn't go far enough. Carper didn't specify what that grander plan should entail. Unless he just wants to play the obstructionist role already wearying this country from so many different quarters, the senator's dissenting position now obliges him to come forward with specifics for trimming spending.
Our resort economy is improving, but if uncertainty continues to cloud the air in Washington, D.C., we will feel it here at the beach.
Each week that passes without addressing needed spending cuts will make the task more difficult. When Pete duPont was first elected governor of Delaware in 1976, the state's finances were a shambles. He wasted no time in cutting government spending to restore balance.
By the time his first term ended, there had been plenty of time to adjust, the state's economy was much improved and he was re-elected in a landslide. Congress needs to heed that lesson. Tighten the belt now. Let us adjust our diet.
American people are resilient. That kind of effective statesmanship gets rewarded with re-election.

"I bought my kia brand new in 10/10 and after a couple of weeks getting use to the new ride after living in a Corolla. I have enjoyed the comfortable and roomy ride as well as the great gas mileage. The best kudo for this vehicle is that 3 weeks ago I was involved in a head collision in which I was hit headon/square and was able to crawl out and basically walk away ... In hindsight, and looking at the vehicle after I was released from the hospital took me to my knees. I would HIGHLY recommend the Kia Optima to ANYONE!!! It saved my life!!! and with very little damage to me. I will be replacing it for sure!!! Keep on Keepin' on!!! Kia's Rock!!"

"I own a 2006.5 Optima LX with just over 54,000. It basically has all options except for the V6, leather, and fog lights. This car is an awesome car for the money. I NEVER thought I would buy a Kia and as life goes sometimes, I ended up purchasing this one for $10,500 used with 47,000 miles on it. It was a retired rental vehicle and after driving it, I found it to be a much smarter choice over purchasing a smaller car for the same amount of money like a Civic, or Focus. I am very pleased with this car. The interior is very well laid out and looks great with the light colored digital displays on the radio and instrument cluster, and knobs. The car feels just as high of quality as an Accord or Camry and even comes with a better warranty. My only complaint is the lack of a V6, but the gas mileage more than makes up for it. Several of my friends own smaller cars like the Civics and Focus and they are surprised at how great my mileage is which is at times better than their cars, and its bigger! The room inside is awesome. I sit with the seat in the furthest position from the dash, and my passengers never complain of needing extra leg room in the back. The trunk is huge. This car was rated the safest midsized sedan on US roads for front, side, AND rear crashes, which apparently no other car in its class has. It also has side impact airbags for front passengers, and side head airbags for front and rear passengers."

"When my Honda Pilot reached well over a hundred thousand miles, it was time for a new car. This time I was going to have everything i wanted in a car... leather... cd changer... power everything. I set out to get my dream Honda.... When I priced the Accord I wanted.. i could not afford the 38,000 they wanted. A friend recommended that I looked at a Kia. I laughed at him..... until I actually took his advice. I got everything I wanted in my accord in my 2008 Optima.... Is it perfect... not by any means... is it a pleasure to drive and ride in... you bet..... and I saved well over 15,000 dollars. I have a few gripes that I hope Kia will look at in the future. The "carpet" in the car is VERY cheap compared to a Honda or a Nissan. I wish the engine had a touch more power, as the Honda was far more powerful. My overall opinion... I am glad that I did buy the Kia.... I was able to pay cash for the car instead of financing, and I feel I got a remarkable value!"

When Pai-Shau first contacted me to try their product, I was both excited and skeptical. There are so many ads on social media, especially Instagram of tea-infused hair products, I wasn't sure if there would be any difference if I used their products. I wasn't asked to review this product or anything but because of the results I've been getting, I thought it'd be great to share!
To put it simply, Pai-Shau is a >cruelty-free, gluten-free AND vegan friendly hair brand that uses different teas to help rejuvenate your hair. I've been consistently using the cleanser and conditioner and I honestly didn't expect too much of it besides cleaning my hair. I was always intrigued by the idea of tea-infused hair products so even though I wasn't sure how testing out this product would turn out, I was excited to see what would happen. The packaging came with a product guide which explains briefly about the products and their Signature Exotic Tea Complex so I thought I'd make up a design (that I'm really really proud of) with that info:
Replenishing Hair Cleanser & Replenishing Cream Conditioner
Imperial Hold Hairspray: Strong Hold Hairspray
Sublime Hold Hairspray: Flexible Hold Hairspray
Biphasic Infusion: Rejuvenating Concentrate for Hair
Hope you enjoyed today's post and leave a comment down below if you've ever tried tea-infused hair products/are planning to!

HTC U Play Specs
The HTC U Play is the smaller of the two devices announced by HTC today, and features a set of specs that may disappoint. Matching up closer to the HTC 10, the U Play still doesn't seem to pack much of a punch, even though it is meant for the mid-range market….

They also are familiar with related areas which clients need to know about, such as tax laws, bankruptcy laws and family law matters, for even though they do not practice in those areas, They recognize that in order to provide quality representation, they must understand the implications these areas provide, for our client's sake.
CMLF team is formed of highly experienced Lebanese lawyers and business professionals that can draw upon a network of contacts in Lebanon, the Middle East and worldwide to provide you with the required know-how to deal with any business opportunity or overcome any legal obstacle or problem.
CMLF Attorneys work closely with the clients and provide them with sound legal judgment and rigorous business consultancy, backed by an extended practical experience and the strong academic background of the team members.

Our history is a chronicle of individuals and events that have helped shape the firm and create the strong foundation on which we continue to build.
Close-working client relationships with an emphasis on results have been CMLF's hallmark since its foundation, and remains at the core of our services today.
In the end, CMLF strongly encourage their clients to take responsibility for their own lives, and although they stand ready to provide advice and counsel, they know that every decision that a client must live with is made ONLY by that client: they never would think of forcing any resolutions on anyone, and also would never settle a case without having the final decisions made by the client.

Scorpions - Box of Scorpions
"Wind of Change'' and their 80's rock anthem, "Rock You Like A Hurricane". Contrary to common usage, the band's name is "Scorpions" and not "The Scorpions
Contrary to common usage, the band's name is "Scorpions" and not "The Scorpions". Their classic 1975 power ballad "In Trance" was covered by Progressive Metal band Fates Warning as a hidden track on the Japanese version of their 1998 live album "Still Life." Their song "Don't Stop at the Top" was covered by melodic death metal band Children of Bodom as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Something Wild. "Rock You Like A Hurricane" is played before the start of Carolina Hurricanes hockey games as the team takes the ice. The band were given several mentions on the BBC Coverage of the 2006 World Cup, a small featurette on the band was shown as a tour of Hannover, their Home City was given by the presenter. The song 'Wind of Change' was played to footage of the Berlin wall falling, much as it was at the time.

I haven't really watched Dog the Bounty Hunter's show, but it's always nice to see someone who is recognizable in the public arena come out and talk about marijuana reform. Keeping the conversation going is a big part of the fight to end prohibition.

THANKS for making my point! ;-)
Who?;-) I got ya.
He's not HIGH up on my list either. But he IS very popular in America. His "stature" carries a LOT more weight and acknowledgment than say someone like "Cindy Jenkins" does.
Sean!!! Have a warm heart as much as possible….once we hit room temperature……it's OVER!!!
Glad to hear that Dog and Beth are on the side of cannabis freedom. They have just warmed my tired heart.
Props to Beth and Duane…..why thinking this clear headed can't catch on is a mystery to me!!
"His stature…" That made me lol! This guy, with his flowing golden mullet, doesn't mark high on my list. Then again Obama may listen to a fellow Hawaiian. Joking aside, free the weed!
Dog making sense ! Ice is evil ! cannabis is a gift from nature! most of dogs collars are drug retated
Hawaii has lost many individuals to meth and ice !
I finally got a peek at "house i live in"
looks great for ending the DRIUG WAR
GREAT INTERVIEW! I don't watch his show and never have. But I must say it's NICE to have people of HIS stature speak out about the HARMLESS nature of marijuana and acknowledge it medical efficacy as well!
Thanks Dog!

Dharma Karma Trailer (1997)
Shiva Kapoor (Jeetendra) is an assertive and honest young man and has the tendency to help people in need, which gets him to come to the rescue of a man who was being assaulted by hired goons. Frustrated by Shiva, the goons report this incident to their bosses, Iqbal Supariwala (Puneet Issar) & Nandu Solanki (Mohan Joshi), together they implicate Shiva in a web of lies and deceit and have him arrested and imprisoned. After serving his sentence, Shiva vows to avenge this humiliation, and assumes the guise of a bearded male and calls himself Karma. He gets to meet Dharma (Dharmendra), another young man, who has been the target of Supariwala and Solanki, and together they join forces to combat the gangsters. Unrelated to this saga of vengeance is the story of Dharma's brother, who is in love with the same woman as Kumar (Rahul Roy) is, and a heartbroken Kumar has sworn to kill Dharma's brother and anyone else who dares to stand in his way.
Watch the official Dharma Karma 1997 trailer in HD below or find more Dharma Karma videos on Vidimovie.

When I'm traveling I love getting to some vantage point where I can see the skyline, the heartbeat of the city. The best place to do that in Boston was from the center of Harvard Bridge [Massachusetts Ave and Beacon St Boston, MA 02138].
There is a pedestrian/biker friendly lane which runs right next to the cars.
The bridge is less than half a mile long and connects Boston to Cambridge. On the Cambridge side you pop out right by MIT. The view of the city is as good as it gets, and since the clouds were finally clearing out there were plenty of sailboats out on a warm Sunday afternoon.
One building in particular had a pretty image on it, but I couldn't make out exactly what it was.
I was surprised and elated to find that on both sides of the bridge there were walking paths named the Charles River Esplanade. The Cambridge side is just a sidewalk, but it has the better view of the city.
The Boston side is really very lovely. Take the blue path down from the beginning of the Boston side of the bridge and walk on.
You'll find picturesque little bridges connect you to trail between the river, and a lagoon.
This is truly an urban oasis! There is a specific lane for bikers on the trail which is better for pedestrian traffic. I would highly recommend a walk over the bridge and on the esplanade during any trip to Boston.

Funding Overview
As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for Santa Cruz County, the Regional Transportation Commission makes decisions and sets priorities for the expenditure of certain local, state and federal transportation funds for public transit, rail, local street and road, highway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. Long range planning for transportation funding is done through the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Projects the RTC has selected to receive state or federal funds are listed in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). Projects and programs implemented by the RTC are included in the agency Budget and Work Program. While the RTC historically has distributed between $10-15 million per year to repair local roads, build new bicycle and walking facilities, improve transit service, improve traffic flow on local roads and state highways; state and federal funds available for transportation projects in Santa Cruz County have significantly decreased and become unreliable (in 2016 only $3 million in state and federal funding is available for new projects).
New and Local Funds for our Transportation System
Transportation funding levels have not kept pace with costs to support the transportation needs of the community. Traditional state and federal sources, such as gas taxes, raise less than half of what is required to implement all of the projects necessary to reduce congestion, improve safety, expand mobility, and maintain the existing transportation system. Making matters worse, state and federal funds are unreliable, and waiting for those funds to solve the problem equates to doing nothing. Highways and local roads are regularly backed up. Local jurisdictions cannot keep up with local streets and roads maintenance needs and roads continue to decay. Gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian networks exist. Without new funding sources, it will be impossible to adequately maintain, let alone enhance, the existing transportation system to address existing and future travel needs.
The RTC has been working with the community for over a decade to identify strategies to address funding shortfalls. Based on input from residents and community leaders representing the diverse range of travel needs, the RTC Board approved a long range transportation plan including the pursuit of two local funding mechanisms: a ½ cent sales tax and a vehicle registration fee to meet the county's transportation needs over the next 30 years.
RTC Funding Programs
The RTC distributes funds from the following programs:
- Transportation Development Act (TDA) – dedicated to public transit, paratransit for seniors and people with disabilities, and bike and pedestrian projects
- Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP)
- State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
- Department of Motor Vehicles Fees – dedicated to Freeway Service Patrol, Call Boxes and other traveler aid services
RTC Projects/Programs
- Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP): Projects selected to receive state and federal funds
- Revenue Projections: 25-year Revenue Projections
- Regional Transportation Plan: Long Range Transportation Plan for Santa Cruz County. Identifies all funding available for region.
- Future Funding: Given severe funding shortfalls, the RTC is working with the community to identify .
- Opportunities: Periodically funding opportunities through the RTC or other agencies are available for transportation projects. See the grants page.
Where Does the Money Come From?
Funding for transportation projects in Santa Cruz County come from a few main sources:
- Per Gallon Gas Taxes (State & Federal)
- Sales Taxes (both on diesel, as well as other goods/services)
- DMV Fees
The money generated through these taxes and fees are then divided into hundreds of funding programs established by voters and/or state and federal statutes.

Poor Remy, St. Claire
Cameo Gallery
93 N. 6th St.
Brooklyn, NY, 11211
This event is 21 and over
Poor Remy
Poor Remy as a musical venture erupted out of 3 intimate relationships which were cultivated at Kenyon College in an intellectual environment filled with discussions of Hegel, Ultimate frisbee, french literature, and girls. We lived together, played together, made out with some of the same girls, and edited each others papers. We were exploring huge ideas like God and Communism and the meaning of History, and music became a way for us to study ourselves and each other. Poor Remy makes manifest our most passionate obsessions about the world as an offering of ourselves. Like meditation or stream of consciousness writing, music frames our experience in rural Ohio as a self portait. When we offer our voices, our hands and our fingers, we offer our entire selves to the viewer or listener. We offer our struggles, our explorations, our weaknesses and our idiosyncrasies. Our hope is that someone, if only one person, can identify with those struggles and those ideas to gain some insight into their own life, even if that insight is just the joy of listening to us.
lively upbeat folk effort that can
easily lodge itself in your
brain." – Best of Bandcamp
"[This band] is about to inject
so much energy into your bones." –The Muse in Music
St. Claire
St. Claire is the project of brother and sister Emily and Glenn Forsythe. After leaving their native state of Ohio, the two spent years travelling in the US and abroad before finally rejoining each other in Boston to begin St. Claire. Now based in Brooklyn, and joined by Amelia Emmet (from Think Wild), Michael Howard, Anders Griffen, and Kate Fink, St. Claire weaves thick, hushed harmonies together with ambient layers of sound made of instruments new and old. Over anthem-like driving rhythms, Emily delivers soulful, somber melodies and lyrics full of images and stories. St. Claire is currently working their follow-up record to their debut album "Everyone Lives Here."

Hoyer Commends Senate Committee Approval of U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Mariel Saez 202-225-3130
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities yesterday:
"I applaud the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on approving yesterday the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a critical treaty that would enshrine in international law America's efforts to ban discrimination against people with disabilities. This treaty draws significantly on the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act I was proud to help pass in 1990. The Disabilities Convention has the strong support of groups that advocate on behalf of the rights of people with disabilities as well as key allies on both sides of the aisle. I was very disappointed that the Senate blocked the treaty's ratification by a narrow vote in 2012, and I hope that the Senate can reverse that setback in the weeks ahead."

text: Is there anyone here that has had any experience with the Quinta theme from Themeforest? I am having issues with the images that span the top of each post. I can't seem to make them automatically scale to 425px × 319px the way they should. I've gone through and fiddled with the Settings>Media options, but my images still come out full size in my posts. I haven't been able to find the documentation for this theme, so I'm not sure if I might be missing something that I need to be doing in order to make my images scale. If anyone has any idea how to make images automatically scale on the posts in quinta, I would very much appreciate your input! You can find the a demo of the theme, as well as a download link for the theme itself, in this thread http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/templates-themes/118855-get-themeforest-quinta-rare-wordpress-theme-pack.html

text: Ok, I do not take credit for this because this theme is complied from different themes. I just took the files I liked and came up with this theme. Credit for the bar goes to Moonsspoon and some of the other themers over at xda. I included the framework-res.apk. No need to rename it just adb push it to your device, should work. To change out the bar and stuff look here on how to do that. If you can't get it to push. Grab your original framework-res.apk and place it on the desktop (Do not extract the files). Next download this theme and extract it on your desktop. Grab the drawable folder from what you just extracted. Right click on the original framework-res.apk that you took off your phone and click Open Archive if using 7zip and navigate to res folder. You should see the other folders. Take the drawable folder that you extracted and place it in the folder to copy it over. Then take your original framework-res.apk and place in the tools folder and push it. From Terminal In Recovery Mode ( Volume Down+Call+End ): adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/frameworks-res.apk reboot

text: Hi, I was having a discussion about this the other day and I came up with this proposal, which I would like comments on. It must be noted that I'm not much of a coder - I'm having problems making a Python script work as I expect. (Actually, I think this particular problem is a bug - but I'll see if I can replicate it before pestering :) I am, however, an optimist. I hope to see this, and my other idea (which I cannot find any references to in search engines, but I know it's been discussed before) of a universal package format implemented. Proposal for Debian Patch Files ------------------------------- Debian packages are upgraded frequently, and I can't help but wonder if it's necessary for me to download a few megabytes for maintainer's releases. I think it would be great if I could simply download the differences between the versions, and save the bandwidth. Considerations: * It should be transparent to debian maintainers * Configuration files should be treated specially * Not every change will be small enough for a patch, * and likewise, many changes are so small it's ridiculous. * Users will tweak some files - configuration (handled) and others. The Patch: Should be generated by comparing the extracted contents of the old and the new packages. (A package is a single .deb) It should also include the md5sums of the files in the old package, the configuration files, and the packaging scripts. Files in the patch are either patched against the old version, replaced entirely, or renamed from an existing file. ie. 1) diff file.a file.b > patch.a-b 2) file.b > patch.b 3) in patch: mv foo.a bar.b The final patch, once compressed, should have it's size compared to the new package, and a decision should be made as to whether the end justifies the means. (ie. Does the size for the user justify the extra space needed by debian mirrors?) Applying the patch: I feel there is room for two ways here, both with the same outcome. Those are to either apply the patch directly, or generate a .deb of the new package then install it. The .deb can be generated by using a pre-existing .deb (if available), or by collecting all the installed files that made up the previous .deb, checking the md5sums, applying the patches, and then generating the package from that. The package will then go through the normal upgrade procedure - asking about replacing configuration files, etc. (Hence including them in the patch) However, there arises a problem when people are not using an old .deb locally, and they modify non-configuration files before applying the patch. Whether or not the file is being patched - it is an inconsistency, and should be treated seriously. The user should (by default) be required to download the full package and use that. However, some people may change a file and, if it's not being patched against, keep the change and still apply the patch to the rest of the package (also voiding any .deb generated from it). There should be a command line / configuration option to prompt the user if they wish to continue - or download the whole package and install that. Mail any comments, corrections, and suggestions to Robert Thomson <firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com> -- ------------------------------------ Robert Thomson -- Just call me Sir -=| UNIX is user friendly. |=- email@example.com -=| It's just selective about |=- I prefer GNU/Linux -=| who its friends are. |=- ------------------------------------

Newt Gingrich may not have lobbied on behalf of Freddie Mac (though they payed an awful lot for the services of an "historian"), but he did advocate the use of government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) like Fannie and Freddie to encourage home ownership. VerumSerum has dug up a 2007 interview in which Gingrich defended Fannie and freddie and suggests that GSEs represented a successful approach to encouraging homeownership that conservatives should support.

I asked this question before, but nobody up here took a couple of seconds to answer it. How do we get the CJ merchant datafeeds? The WISE "Help" section on CJ gives us nothing when I place the word "datafeed" in the help gadget. Great help CJ!
August 6th, 2003, 02:12 PM #2
You need to go to Ask A Question (under Support), then when you select the subject pick Linking. There's a second dropdown that comes after that, pick "Advanced Linking" there.
In the "subject" of your question, put "Datafeeds" and it'll find its way to the right person from there.
Don't forget to hit "finish submitting question" on the second screen (the one after where you wrote your message to them), or your question won't actually get submitted!
No guarantees on what they'll say, though.
It is a beautiful thing, to do nothing, and then rest afterwards.~Spanish Proverb

Hello huhu,
You must request the datafeed from CJ using the ask a question feature in the support area.
CJ charges $200 or $250 (can't remember which) if you haven't hit a certain threshold. Also, they won't allow you to get a datafeed if you haven't produced a certain commission level also.
I asked for and got the feed, and CJ has done a good job answering any/all questions that I have had.

Once you hit $10,000 sales in a month, go to the ask a question section at cj and ask for a feed.
That's how I got mine for free.
August 7th, 2003, 12:58 AM #5
if you hit 10k sales in a month you can get it free, otherwise you must pay $200 or $250 to get it...

DANVILLE - A Danville man died after falling at a Danville plant Thursday evening.
A release from Vermilion County Coroner Peggy Johnson said Brett Hauk, 51, was pronounced dead at 8:52 p.m. after he fell five floors from a manlift at the Pepsico Quaker plant.
An autopsy will be scheduled.
The Danville police department, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Johnson are investigating.

Ziege, Häschen and Max have now moved to Berlin for studying. They ain't got no money till the mystic plant reappears. Soon they have enough money for champagne, a penthouse and a nice car. But everyone's got private problems. Häschens girlfriend Valerie is in Sevilla, Max is too shy to go into Berlin's gay-clubs and Ziege is in love with the girlfriend of a manager of a big company. But being very boyish they don't just sell the SexUp pills, but also use them for themselves. Of course the old problems reappear.

text: Does anyone know of an interface that would allow you to remotely open and configure the UPSTART software that runs UPB control systems? I am thinking of some way that you could program the UPB system from home/office/truck via a phone interface or an internet interface. This could save a LOT of headaches and lost time for travelling to site to do a minor tweak. Thanks.
