Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Canadian Tire in September 2013.
Interview Details –
I applied for the position in August and was contacted via e-mail in September for a phone interview.
1st Interview: Phone with HR
This lasted about 15 minutes and was very basic. She asked me to go through my past experience, strengths/weaknesses, why I wanted to work at CT, and what my greatest accomplishment was to date. She also asked what my salary expectations were and then we set up an in-person interview which took place a week later.
2nd Interview: At CT Office with 1 HR and 2 DLMs(Divisional Logistics Manager)
This lasted about 45 min and was very heavy on behavioural questions. They asked me to explain a time where: I had to make a decision with little-to-no information, a time where I lead a team, a time where I had a conflict, what I knew about the position (they will be very impressed if you can nail this question), and there was some overlap in questions that I had answered in the 1st interview. They got back to me exactly 2 weeks after my interview to schedule a 3rd interview which was a case study.
3rd Interview: Case Study at CT Office with 2 DLMs
I was e-mailed the case study the day before my interview and was required to complete the 2 cases prior to my interview. This interview also lasted about 45 minutes. They asked me to go over my resume, asked me some behavioural questions regarding how I plan projects and some other ones that I don't remember. During the last 15 minutes, they asked me to go through the solutions I had prepared for the case study in a presentation format. They jotted down my answers but didn't give any feedback.
One week after the case study, I received an e-mail indicating that I was placed in the Supply Chain Analyst candidate pool. This means that when a SCA position opens that matches my skill set, I will be given a formal offer of employment.
Overall, the experience was a good one. All people, aside from the HR person were different in each of my interviews (hence some repetition in questions). It was fairly relaxed, but make sure you know what you're talking about. And don't be worried about getting the answer "right" in the case study. I'm sure it's just a matter of figuring out how you think.
Good luck!

I applied in-person and the process took a day - interviewed at Canadian Tire in July 2011.
Interview Details – I had a friend who had been working there for two weeks, and I was in search for summer job. He introduced me to the automotive manager, and I asked him if he needed anyone. After having a short conversation with him, I handed him my resume and went home. I called back a few times and finally the HR person contacted me and I went in for an interview. It was a fairly short interview and mostly involved questions asking me about myself, and how I had demonstrated leadership in my life.

I applied through other source and the process took 3 days - interviewed at Canadian Tire.
Interview Details – I did most hiring and the interview process usually would consist of meeting and getting to know 4-5 people in which 1 of those would be chosen for the position. Some stores do no interviews so you basically go in and start, others are even more detailed and will have follow up interviews as well.
Interview Question – Tell me about a specific situation in your last job (or life experience) that you had to make a difficult decision. How did you solve it? Why did you choose that method to solve it? Answer Question

Interviewed at Canadian Tire
Interview Details – HR department worked so slow to staff the team (from October of 2011 to May 2012) that the hiring manager had to use an employment agency as the project started in February 2012. It meant no interview for us, they just screened the skills and hired two people, that's how urgent the task was and how far behind HR performance was. Later the manager appreciated the results of my work and I was proposed permanent employment.

Jeffery Warren picked up his first camera at a young age. Finding his passion so early on gave him time to study photography in school and immediately start cultivating years of experience. His dedication has paid off, as his portfolio today includes couple and family portraits, babies who need corporate headshots for their new office jobs, and commercial images. But Warren's true specialties are wedding and boudoir photography. He classifies his nuptial shots into two categories: portraits and details. Small, candid glances, close-ups of rings, and shots of a bridal party's legs and hands make it into the "details" album. Wedding and boudoir portraits focus on faces and bodies with imaginative composition and bold swaths of color.
Today's Groupon will bring focus and overall good lookingness to your stills. For $49, you'll get a personal two-hour photography session, in-studio or on-location, and 30-photo CD from Tony Medina Photography, normally $250. The photos you take home from your shoot will be perfect for holiday cards or last minute holiday gifts.As a race of giants, Americans quickly outgrew the planet Earth and entered the moon race against the shorter Soviets. Unfortunately, once both countries had established their moon bases, the moon's negligible gravitational pull gave the smaller, lighter cosmonauts an advantage, and the Americans were badly defeated in the First Moon War. For this reason, it is now illegal to talk about, think of, or photograph the moon.
Every year, photographer Marc Aviles has to limit the number of weddings he photographs to 20. That magic number allows him to take a meticulous approach in capturing both photojournalistic and posed photographs during one of life's most momentous occasions. This is it Photography's wedding-photography process, which begins with an in-depth consultation and ends with photo-album production in Italy, reflects a deep respect for each client's vision. While snapping shots, photographers zoom in on sparkling rings and colorful bouquets to capture the subtle details of the ceremony before panning out to take pictures of the couple and guests. Marc also performs engagement photography sessions, which preserve romantic images at a cherished locale, such as a beach, a blossoming cherry tree, or the restaurant where lovers shared their first heimlich maneuver.
This is it Photography's talent for creating narratives through photographs has earned them several accolades throughout their career. Though they limit their annual wedding presence, they always welcome families, pets, newborns, and models into their studio for specialized portraits. Whimsical infant photos pair babies with studio props, including a miniature claw-foot tub and giant rubber duckies. Alternatively, outdoor shoots supply sunny backdrops for candid pictures. This is it Photography also rents out photo booths, which print sheets of smiling faces with custom event logos.
Envy Studio captures milestones on film, snapping shots of weddings, quinceañeras, and families. After photo shoots and onsite services, the studio produces prints in a range of sizes and can create custom albums for special events. They also tend to other photographic needs including picture restoration, passport shots, and digital imaging in which tech-savvy editors modify photos with special effects and vanquish red eye with Druid spells.
The press-lauded commercial shutterbug and digital image pro behind Soo Photography, Michael Soo has lent his expertise in commercial, food, and portrait photography to numerous international publications, including the New York Times. Drawing upon his expertise and multicultural background to educate fledgling photographers, Soo hosts workshops, teaches classes, and runs an online forum where digital cameras discuss technique in binary. Beginner- and intermediate-level classes acquaint novices with the art form, and advanced courses delve into lighting, black-and-white photography, portraiture, weddings, product photography, and how to cover up red eye with drawn-on mustaches. The classes also assist in lighting techniques, learning exposure and composition, and how to photograph portraits.

American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
In 2011, Congress had lowered the FICA payroll tax rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent to put more money in the pockets of Americans. This adjustment expired at the end of 2012. This will result in a payroll tax increase for workers. For example, a farm employee earning $30,000 a year will take home $50 less per month.
Lets ask Farenthold why he has $170,816 dollars in Debt when this congressman speaks about the country debt problem he has one himself, in 2011 he had $156,000 dollars of debt.
This congressman say we have a debt problem so what about his debt problem, when he raised over a million dollars for his 2012 campaign in 2011 2012 he went over by $7,500 and Farenthold wants for us to tighten our belts when he cant tighten his.

At age 60, with a 42-year career at the Forest Service behind him, a man might be tempted to retire.
But not Laurence Crabtree.
"I love this job," he said.
The man who has been the deputy forest supervisor for the Plumas National Forest is now the new forest supervisor for the Eldorado National Forest, reporting to work July 29.
He wrapped up his work locally July 12 and took some time to reflect on his experience.
"It was a good two years for me," he said. "There are wonderful people on this forest."
Though his tenure on the Plumas was relatively short, he has worked in the north state for most of his career.
The Susanville area native has worked on the Lassen and Modoc National forests as well as in Nevada, but he has a special affinity for the Plumas and for Quincy.
"There are wonderful people on this forest and it's easy to be part of this community," he said.
On the Plumas, Crabtree became the go-to guy, overseeing travel management, timber harvest programs and fire, including the Chips Fire.
He is particularly proud of the relationships that were created and maintained while dealing with sometimes controversial matters.
"He was always willing to sit with the timber industry as well as the Plumas County Economic Recovery Committee and work with both groups to maintain and enhance the overall program of work to try and assist the community and the overall infrastructure," said Bill Wickman, president of the recovery group. "We can only hope his replacement will bring the same level of understanding and expertise that Laurence provided."
A search is on for Crabtree's replacement. Asked what advice he would offer to his successor, Crabtree said, "You have to respect people's opinions in this community, even when they aren't in alignment with the Forest Service."
Crabtree said he was surprised and humbled to be selected as the supervisor for the Eldorado, knowing that there were a number of applicants for the position.
Crabtree interviewed with Randy Moore, the regional forester, his executive assistant and three of his deputies, but the actual appointment came from Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell.
When asked what he thought set him apart, Crabtree said, "Randy Moore told me I was the best person for the job."
Leading his own forest has been a long-held dream of Crabtree's and he is anxious to begin work.
He and his wife, Denice, are packing up and moving to Placerville, where he will oversee a forest that welcomes 2 million visitors a year. (The Plumas averages a half-million visitors annually.)
He said the biggest issue facing that forest is travel management, as well as reducing the forest understory.
Both forests suffer from a lack of biomass facilities to address the latter problem because it has proven to be financially infeasible.
"Biomass doesn't pencil out, but if you factor in a $62 million Chips Fire, there could be a solution," Crabtree said.
Though Crabtree is moving, he will still be working with some familiar faces.
Larry Bird, the supervisor of the Lassen National Forest, said, "Laurence has been a good neighbor to the Lassen for many years. I have always found him to embody the spirit of the Forest Service mission of 'caring for the land and serving people' in all of his dealings. In his new job as forest supervisor of the Eldorado, I will still have contact with Laurence, but will miss having him right next door."
And his former boss, Plumas National Forest Supervisor Earl Ford, said, "Laurence has been a treasure to work with as deputy forest supervisor. I personally wish him and Denice well on the Eldorado, and look forward to a continued working relationship with Laurence as a fellow forest supervisor."
Though Crabtree had been a little emotional as he talked about his time on the Plumas, he smiled broadly as he looked ahead.
"It's a great time to be a leader in the agency," he said.

Enterprise Architecture
The key to the success of our Enterprise Architecture approach lies within two core values:
We base our solutions on previous successes.
We rely on reusable results from both inside and outside the organization. This guarantees a maximum return of the time spent at our customers. -
Every organization is unique
An organization reveals its needs through its unique character. Therefore our approach first of all tunes in to management disciplines that are already deployed within the organization, like business planning and project portfolio management. The former discipline shows us how the organization defines its value, the latter shows us how it structures its activities.
We base our solutions on previous successes.
Value proposition
Set up of an appropriate vision
We prescribe the effective use of Enterprise Architecture within the organization in a vision document. -
Elaboration of an effective strategy and road map
We fine tune the approach for the set up of a feasible Enterprise Architecture practice and work out a planning. -
Monitoring and supporting the effective practice
We embed the execution of the strategy into tasks like the expansion of an organizational structure and an Enterprise Architecture infrastructure, the facilitation of projects, the evaluation of consistency and conformity and the communication towards stakeholders.
Provide advice
Advice with regards to (i) embedding Enterprise Architecture within the organization, (ii) method, technique, tooling, (iii) analysis, diagnosis and prognosis and (iv) conceptualization and execution. -
Since we consider Enterprise Architecture not as a project but as a permanent discipline, it is key to preserve the momentum of the EA practice. Coaching is the ideal means for it and this can be in the role of (i) adviser for the architecture sponsor, (ii) sparring partner for the Chief Architect, (ii) support for the Domain Architects and (iii) coach for the Project Managers. -
Our Enterprise Architecture consultants can take care of the background research by which the internal architect roles can focus more on communication.
Enterprise Architecture on a concept level
- Creation of customized EA vision and EA discipline implementation plan
Enterprise Architecture on a design level
- EA strategy and EA roadmap development
- Implementation of the EA discipline roadmap
- EA tool selection and customization
Enterprise Architecture on a implementation level
- Participating in EA implementation and EA governance
- Coaching

If you've read my rubber snake post, you know the background. (If not, check this out first.)
Soon after scaring the bejeezus out of my housecleaner, I decided to launch the snake on my six-year old neighbor, Lola. I did ask her mother's permission, of course. I may not be fond of children, but I know where to draw the line. Plus, this kid is cool. You can actually have an interesting conversation with her.
I knew that Lola was a prankster, so I asked her Mom if it would be okay for me to put the snake in their mailbox. Lola's newest extension of boundaries allowed her to walk to the mailbox herself to collect their mail. Mom thought the snake was a great idea.
I watched from my window as she skipped to the mailbox, opened it and….immediately grabbed the snake, dancing around with laughter. Within seconds, my doorbell rang and there was Lola mocking my pathetic attempt to snake her. I then told her that the snake was hers to pay forward. I explained that revenge was best served cold. The next day, she sprang it on her father. She had it waiting in the bathroom for him. I was disappointed. She just didn't get it.
Or did she?
This afternoon, a good three months since I snaked her, I stepped out with the wiener dog to collect my mail. I opened the mailbox to this:
I'll admit, my initial reaction was fear. But then I connected the dots. I could not, however, bring myself to touch it. Its paws just looked so creepy. I brought the wiener dog back inside. I knew if she was beside me when I pulled it out, she'd come unglued, thinking it was another fun thing to chase like squirrels and chipmunks (the latest Bubble invaders.)
I returned to the mailbox to collect the rat and my mail. As I walked back to the porch that is shared with Lola and her family, there she stood. Bent over with laughter. She knew she got me. But the rat is now mine. The wheels are turning. Who will be the next victim? And what does Lola have in mind for the snake? I haven't forgotten that she's still sitting on it. Two in play.

The Passing of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, former Publisher of The New York Times
The passing of the former publisher of The New York Times, Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger, at age 86 on September 29 was noted by editors and publishers in the mainstream media in the most favorable terms.
The Fed is Playing With Fire
Waiting for the economy to improve before turning off the printing presses is likely to take a very long time. The August numbers on the economy were disheartening for those waiting for such an improvement: U.S. durable goods production fell for the third month in a row, astonishing economists who had predicted much better numbers. GDP continues to slow, and companies such as Caterpillar, the world's biggest construction and mining equipment manufacturer, cut its earnings outlook because of the continuing slowdown in the world economy.
Media Research Center Celebrates 25 Years of Exposing Media Bias
Media Research Center celebrates 25 years of exposing mainstream media bias on Monday, October 1, having grown into a powerhouse media exposure empire that has changed the public's perception of media credibility.
Senate Bill Overrides EU Emissions Mandates for Airlines
When the Senate unanimously passed SB 1956 early Saturday morning, September 22, Annie Petsonk of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) called it "rather extraordinary." But she didn't mean that as a good thing. It meant, instead, that the Senate wanted nothing to do with the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EUETS) that would have burdened U.S. airlines with $3 billion in additional costs over the next decade, attacking the country's national sovereignty along the way.
This would mean instead, according to Petsonk, if the House passed a similar measure that is pending there, that the EDF's efforts to implement worldwide regulation of airlines' emissions would have to be directed through an international UN-sanctioned group instead. In other words, the Senate bill was just a speed bump on the way to European Union control of all airlines.
Ron Paul, QE3, and Unintended Consequences
One of the prime unintended consequences of the new unlimited QE3 announced by the Fed is that it is difficult to know when to reverse course without sending the economy into another, deeper recession?
Spain's Catalonia Region Demands Independence
Every September 11 the people of Catalonia, an independent region in northeast Spain, celebrate their "national day" — Diada — by taking the day off and parading through the streets of Barcelona. In past years the celebration was a festival used by some citizens as an excuse to get some fresh air, make some noise, and have some fun. This year, nearly one-quarter of the region's seven million citizens used the celebration as an excuse to swarm into Barcelona to protest Spain's austerity measures, which have raised unemployment in Catalonia — referred to locally as Catalan — to nearly 25 percent.
Preview of Census Data Reveals Muted Optimism for the Economy
A preview of the upcoming Census Bureau's upbeat analysis of the economy was met with little enthusiasm and contrasted sharply with reports from FedEx and elsewhere.
Federal Reserve Balance Sheet Set to Explode
When the Federal Reserve announced last week its plan to buy more treasury securities, only a few read the fine print. Many observers envisioned sugar plums dancing in their heads as the Fed's plan would lead, no doubt, to more economic growth, more jobs, more profits, and more stocks to sell on Wall Street. But in fact, unemployment not only hasn't fallen significantly since the start of the Fed's rollouts of Quantitative Easings, but it has remained higher longer than any time since the early 1980s.
If the Fed decides to extend its Operation Twist program beyond the end of the year and into the year 2015, then the math is irrefutable: 40 months of purchases totaling $85 billion a month is $3.4 trillion. The Fed's balance sheet is currently at $2.7 trillion. That brings the Fed's balance sheet, if nothing changes, to a mind-bending $6.1 trillion.
The Passing of Dr. Thomas Szasz
Dr. Thomas Szasz's passing leaves a legacy in the fight for freedom on an uncommon battleground: psychiatry and its use of force and coercion in its treatments of those diagnosed with various forms of mental illness.

The Making of Mount Rushmore
The 70th anniversary of the completion of the South Dakota monument prompts a look back at what it took to create it
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, October 31, 2011
(Blaine Harrington III / Corbis; Maggie Steber / National Geographic Society / Corbis)
That year, nearly 400,000 people visited Borglum's "shrine of democracy." To put that success in perspective, according to National Park Service records, that same year around the same number visited the Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty.
Yet, for all its admirers, Mount Rushmore had, and continues to have, its critics. When Robinson first spoke in the 1920s of carving into the Black Hills, environmentalists were outraged. Why, they thought, did men have to mar the natural beauty of a mountain? Perhaps the strongest opposition has come from American Indians. Many local Lakota see Mount Rushmore as a desecration of their sacred homeland. To add insult to injury, the carving, of four white men, is a reminder of the affliction the Lakota faced.
The Treaty of Fort Laramie, hashed out between the United States and the Lakota in 1868, declared the Black Hills to be Lakota land. But, in the 1870s, at the behest of President Ulysses S. Grant, a small army led by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer occupied the region. Gold was struck, and a rush of panhandlers began to illegally settle the area. The Great Sioux War erupted in 1876, and by 1877, an act of Congress forced the defeated Lakota to surrender their land.
In the 1930s, Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear took one stance. He hired a sculptor by the name of Korczak Ziolkowski to carve the face of Crazy Horse, the legendary Lakota leader, in a cliff just 15 miles away. Wrapped in its own controversy, the construction of the Crazy Horse Memorial, which eclipses Mount Rushmore in size, continues to this day. The memorial has refused government grants and is funded by visitors and private donors.
Meanwhile, Gerard Baker, Mount Rushmore's first American Indian superintendent, from 2004 to 2010, took another. Under his leadership, park rangers began to include the Lakota perspective in the telling of Mount Rushmore's history. "There will probably always be the ongoing debate of the desecration of the ancestral homeland for the American Indians," says Bracewell. "But we hope that with conversations, and by openly acknowledging and talking about it, we can help heal the divide a little bit."

I've been researching my geneology and I did know my family owned the lumber company that provided scaffolding & etc for the construction of the monument & upon reading this article I also was able to confirm my great great grandfather was the mayor of Rapid City! No wonder I felt at home when I vacationed in South Dakota for the Sturgis Rally. I love this state even more!

My great grandfather is Chris Vranich. He is on the memorial wall and worked on the build of Mount Rushmore. Yesterday I received many photos. Among them are four photos of my grandfather working on Mount Rushmore. Another ten or so photos are of him with his wife and children with the mountain in the background, under progress of being built. Also a few photos of their home at the time, which was located at the base of the mountain. It got me looking around online and these are some wonderful photos shown here also!! Very beautiful.

I like this monument because it contains the picture of best president.

This is a really good article about the making of Rushmore. Also glad to see the mention of the Lakota opposition to it.
A lot of people forget the Black Hills were sacred ground to the Lakota Sioux. So, it's not surprising they were offended by this shrine to their oppressors.
I wish they'd been able to finish the Hall of Records behind Mount Rushmore. When you read about it, it sounds impressive.

Great information. I remember visiting Mt. Rushmore during a field trip to our Gillette natural gas operations in Wyoming. It was a nice drive. I do hope someday consideration will be given to adding a fourth head to the monument, that of America's first black president and Noble peace laureate, Barack H. Obama.

A very good and very balanced account of the construction of Mt. Rushmore and the surrounding issues is found in Judith StGeorge's book, The Mt. Rushmore Story.
Posted by Taza Keene on November 13,2011 | 08:34 PM
The monument should have been dedicated to Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, Red Cloud, and the other great Native American leaders, who are the true founding fathers.

This was a wonderful article. My family operated the National Park Concession for 40+ years so I had the privelege of growing up at Mt. Rushmore. It will always be home.

Great summary story of the making of Mount Rushmore and the celebration of its 70th. year after completion. Nice piece to add the factual recentment that the Lakoda Indians have/had.

Ann and I stayed below Mount Rushmore in June 2011 for a week. We truly loved every minute that we woke up and looked up at George Washington looking down upon us and the valley. We took hundreds of pictures of Mount Rushmore and the surrounding area. Those four (4) Presidents being above us made us SO proud. Thanks for keeping the area in such a lovely condition for everyone to come see and be proud of America and your area of our country. We WILL BE back in the future to view the area in the future.

BEDFORD -- Joel Montgomery spends most of his time working with his team of epidemiologists to suppress outbreaks of dengue fever and Rift Valley fever in Kenya.
"Both are mosquito-borne diseases that can be fatal," Montgomery said. "We're concerned about Rift Valley fever getting to the U.S., because it can infect cattle."But on a recent trip to Bedford, Montgomery focused his attention on a virus that's been a problem in North Texas this year -- West Nile -- and found potential villains in his mother's backyard pond."It's full of mosquito larvae," he said. "I can't leave it like this."Montgomery, a graduate of L.D. Bell High School and the University of Texas at Arlington, is now back at work in Africa, where he was recently named director of the Global Disease Detection center and the International Emerging Infections Program in Nairobi, Kenya.He is charged with tracking down diseases and preventing them from coming to the United States, a job that has been glamorized in Richard Preston's true-story Hot Zone, which tracks the Ebola virus from the African rain forest to the U.S., and the movie Contagion, where epidemiologists chase a lethal pandemic.The recent promotion makes Montgomery even more important to the global mission, said Frederick Angulo, chief of Global Disease Detection in CDC's Atlanta headquarters."His current position ... involves massive responsibilities and public health impact," Angulo said in an e-mail.Montgomery leads a team of 222 professionals and oversees a $12 million budget for seven programs in Kenya. The promotion wasn't a reward so much as an acknowledgement of Montgomery's abilities, Angulo said."I have supervised many officers over my 26 years at CDC and I confirm that he is one of the very best," he said.'Picking up bugs'Nothing that's happened since Montgomery's first step on his career path as a UT Arlington student in the late 1990s surprised his mother, Alta Montgomery."He showed this kind of interest from when he was very young," she said. "We all went camping often and Joel was always picking up bugs, frogs, snakes, anything."What turned her son to epidemiology was meeting Professor George Stewart during his last years at UT Arlington."Epidemiology was his specialty and Joel just followed him into it," she said.And for most of that journey, Montgomery's wife, Kim, also followed."Kim adjusts to anywhere they live," Alta Montgomery said. "She also knows that traveling is his job."The two have a son and daughter -- Van, 7, and Bella, 3.Over his career with the CDC, the 43-year-old Montgomery has helped track down the sources and interrupt the spread of diseases all over the world."I haven't worked an Ebola virus outbreak yet," he said. "Maybe in Uganda soon."But he has chased rabies in Peru, hantavirus in Bolivia and West Virginia, Marburg hemorrhagic fever in Angola, Monkey pox in Ghana and Texas, and SARS in Vietnam.Even before severe acute respiratory syndrome got its name, Montgomery went to Hanoi in early 2003 as one of dozens of U.S. healthcare workers who helped bring the then-mystery illness under control. After 63 cases and five deaths, Vietnam became the first country to control its SARS outbreak."Things in Hanoi were good when we left," Montgomery told the Star-Telegram then.Bats in BangladeshOne of his most challenging -- and dangerous -- jobs was later that year in Bangladesh, where he and his team had to test seven species of fruit bats to halt a Nipah virus outbreak."We collected about 100 [bats] and did blood tests and necropsies to confirm the infection source," he said. "The culprit was pteropus giganteus."Known as the Indian flying fox, the world's largest bat species has a body the size of a standard dachshund and a wingspan of five feet or more.Montgomery had been called in to find out why dozens of people in a handful of neighboring Bangladesh villages were dying from a respiratory illness.Working day and night they caught bats in "mist nets" made with threads thin enough to thwart the animals' echo-location senses. They climbed into the bats' tree-top roosts to pull them down, or felled them with a 20-gauge shotgun.The task required thick gloves to ward against the bats' long teeth and long sleeves to reduce exposure to whatever fluids they released. Goggles protected the catchers' eyes; light masks, their noses and mouths."It was hot and humid and we worked in a densely forested area surrounded by curious people," Montgomery said. "Bangladesh has 140 to 150 million people in a country about the size of the state of Georgia."The first appearance of Nipah virus -- characterized by inflammation of the brain or respiratory problems -- was a 1999 outbreak among pig farmers in Malaysia, according to the World Health Organization. But in Bangladesh most of those 150 or so million people are Muslim, so pigs aren't in the equation, Montgomery said."We got there about April and started out with a series of interviews, then went out into the villages for detective work," he said. "We interviewed people about what they were doing before they got infected." The responses led the team to the fruit bats.Collected tissues, blood and other fluids that were put into tubes and boxes, subjected to liquid nitrogen and sent to the CDC in Atlanta confirmed what Montgomery's team surmised. But doing away with the bats wasn't an option they wanted locals to consider as a solution."We convinced them to not eat fruit that the bats had bitten, or at least wash it first, ideally with detergent," he said.Managing mosquitoesIronically, discovering the potential West Nile carriers in his mom's pond with only a few hours to get ready for his flight, Montgomery never got around to cleaning it out.Alta Montgomery said she was embarrassed by her son's discovery and took care of it soon after his plane left."I knew they were there," she said. "I'm usually very good about cleaning it out. I usually keep those tabs in there, a larvicide."Lack of larvicide aside, Alta Montgomery said her son long ago showed her another, natural way to control the wigglers."Joel is usually the one who catches minnows in the creek" and puts them in the pond to eat the larvae, she said. "He hasn't been here since July and [the minnows] must have been eaten by the herons who nest in our yard."Terry Evans, 817-390-7620Twitter: @fwstevansHave more to add? News tip? Tell us

I love the name Finch, but for a boy. Its a surname but with the nn option of Fin.
Lark is really awesome; I read a book where the heroine was named Larka! Alouette is another bird, and I always thought that was a darling name. Rain also reminds me of Lark, which I both picture as peaceful and serene.
Other names with the same feel as Lark:
Yarrow- river and also an herb(?)
Winona- A Souix name that has a flowing, peaceful, musical sound to it.
Waverly- meadow of quivering aspens... seriously beautiful meaning.
Pella- form of harsher/stronger Petra, which means "rock".
Iona (I prefer the pronounciation eye-OWN-ah, but the Greek, ee-OH-nah is just as pretty)
Bernadette- "brave as a bear"
Tempest- stormy!
Sunniva- "sun gift", but the musical vowels are a plus!
Tamsin- form of Thomas, meaning "twin".
Calliope- musical, just like a bird!
Eulalie- musical still, "sweet speaking". Edgar Allen Poe (writer of The Raven--another bird!) wrote a poem, addressed "To Eulalie".
Talia- "gentle dew from the heaven" gorgeous!
Llewellyn- originates as a boy's name but its so feminine to me. "resembling a lion", cool meaning too.I'm so indecisive; one day I love a name, the next I'm not so sure anymore.
Philomena - Tempest - Autumn - Odessa - Zelda - Octavia - Margo - Cyra - Agnes - Ramona - Thora -
Sunniva - Juno - Chrysanthemum - Calliope - Nova - Libra - Andromeda - Ruby - Molly - Joy - Emma

Just before leaving office in 2010, Governor Corzine signed into law P.L. 2009 c. 213, also known as the "Renewable Energy Farming Law". This law would allow farmers to use part of their farm for solar, biomass, or wind electricity generation without forfeiting their farmland assessment. The law applies to both commercial farms and to farms that have been preserved, but each group must meet a different set of requirements in order to keep their assessment and the protections under the Right to Farm Act.
The Renewable Energy Farming Law has helped promote entrepreneurs seeking leases for solar farms. These entrepreneurs are locking up properties with options and proposed leases and it would appear that many farmers are signing these documents without adequately reviewing them. Developers seek to lock-in the property while they do the necessary planning and obtain the necessary approvals and permits but before signing any of such documents there are some basic contract provisions that you should consider.
First an "option" is a legally binding contract that a property owner gives to another person or company which ties up the land or object of the option. This option gives the option holder the right to tie-up the property for a period of time during which the developer conducts the engineering for the project. The developer also uses this time to obtain the appropriate permits from local land use boards, approvals from Pennsylvania Jersey Maryland Interconnect (PJM) or local utility to connect to the grid and a power purchase agreement to sell the power.
Under basic contract law for there to be a binding contract there has to be consideration. The asker for the option has to give something of value in exchange for the option. Obviously, this consideration is usually money. The developer pays a fee to the landowner so that the owner does not lease the property out to other people or sell it while the developer is doing what is necessary.
The option should also spell out how long the developer can tie up the property. This period of time should be used by the developer to conduct their due diligence which should include identifying how big of a system can be put on the property and whether or not they can get the interconnections with a local utility and/or PJM. During this time they should also determine whether there are any environmental issues including wetlands or c1 streams that would limit or impact the system. Other environmental issues could include whether the property is contaminated by past activities.
The option also sets out the proposed lease agreement. Therefore, the time to negotiate the terms of the lease is before you sign the option not afterwards. Once you have signed the option agreement the chances are that you have bound yourself to the terms of the lease agreement – whether you like it or not.
Some of the basic terms that should be outlined in the lease include: how long the lease is for and how much "consideration" you are going to receive from the developer. The lease should also state how payments should be made – monthly, quarterly, or yearly – and whether those payments escalate over the years or remain static, if there will be a commission or percentage earned from the generation and whether you will receive some of the energy for your own use (this is required by the law).
It is very important that both the option and the proposed lease clearly delineate what the developer plans on doing and that there is an explicit recognition that the developer must comply with the renewable energy farming requirements. The lease should also provide that if, for any reason, the development runs afoul of this law and the property loses its farmland assessment the developer – and not the farmer – will be responsible for paying the rollback taxes. As we all know farmland pays a reduced property tax but, if the farmland status is ever lost, the property owner is required to pay the full amount of the property tax for the current year and the two prior years – which could be a very substantial amount of money.
You should also consider whether the developer has insurance that will cover any injuries that may occur on the property due to the renewable energy systems or from any environmental damages. While the renewable energy system itself may not cause pollution, the support systems for capturing that energy might. For example a transformer might leak and those discharges will still need to be cleaned up.
Other things that should be dealt with up front also include how big the system will need to be. In order to comply with the solar farming law, a system on a commercial form cannot be any bigger than two megawatts. Additional restrictions apply to farmland that has been preserved.
And there are many other issues to consider. What happens to the lease, the system and your payments if the developer is in default of the lease agreement? What happens to these things if the developer goes bankrupt?
As you can see, the terms outlined in a proposed option agreement are very important. They can set the parameters of the relationship between the farmer and the solar company for twenty, thirty or more years. This is a very long time and requires careful consideration before entering.

When President Obama announced 90-billion stimulus tax dollars for green energy, A123 stepped up for a slice of the pie. It spent $1 million lobbying Congress and federal agencies, and won $249,000,000 in stimulus dollars. When an A123 plant opened in Michigan in 2010, the company even got a call from President Obama. "I'm calling to congratulate A123 Systems on this tremendous milestone," he said.

Senior Crimestoppers Program Kicks Off
Pen Bay Healthcare is helping to protect our senior citizens.
"There is a 0% incidence of crime at the Knox Center," says Carl Chadwick, Knox Center administrator. "However, we are implementing this program for patients in our skilled rehabilitation unit because we desire to preserve their level of dignity. With the new lockbox program, they can retain possession of their valuables, which will enhance their rehabilitation experience while allowing them to maintain their known level of self dependence as if they were home." Lockboxes have been installed in all rooms of the skilled rehabilitation unit, and Knox Center staff are undergoing training.
The Senior Crimestoppers program is made possible through an investment by The First Bank of Damariscotta. The First is committed to the safety and security of seniors in our community and views their support of this project as a continuation of this mission. Upon enrolling in the program, as a part of The First's investment, Knox Center will receive $250 from the Senior Crimestopper's "Wish Comes True" program each of the seven years that the program runs. "We are sincerely grateful to both The First and Senior Crimestoppers for supporting the Knox Center and their local community," says Carl Chadwick. "Because of their generosity, our patients will directly benefit in ways which enhance both dignity and quality of life."
