This year's annual series of auctions of rare automobiles on the Monterey Peninsula in California features offerings for all tastes and collecting levels. At Gooding & Company, the official auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, a 1966 Ferrari 365 P Berlinetta Speciale "Tre Posti" will cross the auction block. Farther down the peninsula at Quail Lodge, a 1963 Ferrari GTO will be offered. Both of these automobiles are projected to fetch millions of dollars. At those prices, collectible cars are rivaling fine art for value and prestige.
For those who can afford it, the decision to own a classic vehicle can be driven equally by investment goals and esthetic appreciation. While a Ferrari GTO's skyrocketing value makes it a prudent investment diversification—as long as the current bull market in rare cars continues to roar—the car is also an object of pure beauty, its gentle curves evoking a masterful sculpture.
For the past four years, the collector car market has been on a steep upswing, with several cars reaping prices formerly confined to a Van Gogh or Picasso. When the hammer fell in July 2013 on the sale of a Mercedes-Benz W 196R for a record $33 million at auction, investors reached for the nearest handrail—the price was almost double the previous record set in 2011 ($16,390,000) for a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa. Five weeks later, a Ferrari 275 GTB/4 NART Spider went for $27.5 million, proving that the new high-water mark was not a singularity. Recent private sales have commanded higher prices, with a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO reportedly selling for $52 million in October.
It's not just the high end of the market that is roaring—even rare cars priced in the six-figure range have obliterated previous auction records. So says David Gooding, president and co-founder of Gooding & Company. "Certainly, it has all the ingredients of being a record year, although you never know until you get through the last lot," he said. "The value of the offering we have this year is greater than we've ever had before. Cars are now recognized the world over as an asset class, and they've been wonderful investments."
Cherry Picking
Such investments underline the critical importance of managing the physical risks of collectible cars, which are subject to more unusual hazards than the typical threats like theft, fire and damage confronting other works of art. As Adam Wolfson, owner and president of Wolfson Insurance Brokerage, Inc. in New York, said, "Their owners frequently like to drive them—fast."
Adam's insurance agency serves the insurance needs of high-net-wealth families. Interestingly, he and David were roommates at Skidmore College and remain close friends today. "We graduated in the Class of '89," Adam said. "David's dad was a collector and curator of rare cars and it rubbed off on him. David and his wife, Dawn, completely built their business literally in the laundry room of their home."
Both men are repositories of automotive knowledge—David with an encyclopedic memory of historic automobiles, and Adam with his keen insight into the cars' singular risks. Each expert can wincingly recall a major vehicle loss. "A few years ago, the owner of a beautiful Italian sports car worth north of $1 million experienced a total loss when the car went up in flames," David said. "The vehicle was being driven by a mechanic who failed to carry along a fire extinguisher."
Adam cited a client who collected mid-century Mercedes-Benz automobiles who had been claim-free for 10 years when disaster suddenly struck. "He backed one of his Mercedes out of his garage in Southampton (New York) into another one of his Mercedes," he said. "He called me up and was very apologetic. The combined damage was more than $150,000."
Preserving the physical integrity of rare automobiles insists upon dealing with an insurance agent who knows the difference between a Hyundai and a Maserati from an insurance and risk management standpoint. Adam is that kind of agent.
"There are steps one must take with regard to preserving and insuring rare cars that don't necessarily apply with one's drive-around vehicle," he said. "For instance, if you're having the car worked on, you need to use a repair shop that specializes in that particular automobile model, understands its value and has access to suppliers of vintage parts."
He provided a telling example in this regard. "We had a claim once from the owner of a rare car in a body shop that was damaged further when the shop left it outside," he said. "It incurred an additional $25,000 in damage from a hailstorm." The car's insurer subrogated the claim to the repair facility's insurer, which fortunately had adequate coverage limits.
Due diligence is also required with respect to selecting the trucking companies to transport a valuable car to automobile shows, racetracks and other venues. "You don't want to stick it on a flatbed truck," Adam said.
Other smart ways to care for prized vehicles is to store them in temperature- and humidity-controlled environments and not just a regular garage. When idle for an extensive period of time, the car's battery should be removed and the gasoline siphoned off to reduce the possibility of fire. Fuel systems should be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent clogging. And the cars should be driven on a regular basis. "Regular exercise is good for the cars," said David. "It keeps the seals and fluids in good stead."
Insurance Considerations
Special cars also need special insurance, but Adam noted that many people mistakenly believe that any car insurance policy will suffice.
"Rare cars must be treated differently from an insurance perspective than the `daily driver,'" he explained. "This isn't always the case. Many wealthy individuals I meet for the first time have properly covered their diamond jewelry with the best homeowners or valuable articles insurance, but they'll have a run-of-the-mill car insurance policy on a car worth six figures and more—not the agreed-upon-value car insurance we strongly urge."
Such insurance policies establish the value of a car before the insurance policy is bound. Both parties, based on market assessments and other factors, reach a decision on the value of the car and stick to this figure—even if the car market enters bear territory. Owners can receive service from the priciest automobile restoration shops in the case of damage—so long as the costs stay within the agreed-upon value limits. The insurance typically carries no deductible or mileage limits and has very few restrictions, other than excluding coverage for racing the car at a racetrack.
Despite the broad coverages and robust financial limits of protection offered in these policies, the premiums are relatively inexpensive, particularly when compared to other valuable possessions. As Adam noted, "A $1 million diamond bracelet might cost between $12,000 to $18,000 a year to insure, whereas a $1 million collector car could cost between $4,000 and $8,000 annually, which is amazing given that you're unlikely to ever drive a diamond bracelet at 75 mph on the highway."
Why such a wide disparity in pricing? "Owners tend to treat their rare cars better than they treat their earrings and watches," Adam replied. "They literally fall in love with these cars and their collections. They're very passionate about them."
Here's hoping they also have the same passion when it came to choosing the right insurance agent and the best insurance coverage.

SmackDown results: Sheamus & "Mean Gene" Okerlund triumph on a SuperSmackDown of Legends
Laurinaitis handed down the largest fine in WWE history to Sheamus
HAMPTON, Va. - The Legends of WWE converged on SuperSmackDown LIVE, as World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus received the largest fine in WWE history - before teaming with a master of the mic to overcome two SmackDown World Title contenders.
SmackDown: Blast from the Past opened with WWE Hall of Famer "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviewing Sheamus – in the midst of the controversy over The Great White hitting referee Chad Patton with the Brogue Kick on the April 6 episode of SmackDown.
The Celtic Warrior wasted no time apologizing for letting his temper get the best of him and for not following the "code of honor' of a World Champion – saying he was sorry for his actions to Patton, the other WWE referees and the world.
They were quickly interrupted by SmackDown and Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis. After making The Great White repeat all three apologies, he notified the World Heavyweight Champion that he was on "permanent probation," telling him that if he touches a referee again whether it be accidently or otherwise, he would be immediately fired. "Mr. Excitement" went on to hand down the largest fine in WWE history – $500,000 – to Sheamus and announced the "Blast from the Past" main event: Daniel Bryan & Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus and "Mean" Gene.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry ends in a Double Count-out
Four days after overcoming Kane in a brutal No Disqualification WrestleMania rematch, Randy Orton battled Mark Henry. In the crucial moment, The World's Strongest Man escaped the RKO, knocking his opponent through the ropes. The Viper roared back, sending his massive foe to the ringside floor.
But moments later, WWE's Apex Predator was interrupted by the pyrotechnics of The Big Red Monster. Kane revealed Orton's father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, who laid the war torn at his adversary's feet. Orton rushed to the back and found his dad. However, without warning, Kane attacked him with a pipe. He put the exclamation point on his double attack, telling the fallen Orton that he was "a sucker for family reunions."
Ryback def. local athlete
With a slew of WWE Legends including The Million Dollar Man, "Hillbilly" Jim, Tony Atlas and Pat Patterson watching close in the back, fierce up-and-comer Ryback overcame another unfortunate opponent, hurling him to the canvas for the painful victory.
The Usos def. Heath Slater & Tyson Kidd
With WWE Hall of Famer "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart in their corner and Mick Foley joining the SmackDown announce team, Heath Slater & Tyson Kidd took on The Usos.
During the match, Hart's use of his classic megaphone annoyed the nearby Hardcore Legend so much that he eventually took out Mr. Socko. Hart fled through the ring, causing Slater to get distracted. This opened the door for The Usos to finish off The One Man Southern Rock Band with the splash.
Following the bell, Mr. Socko found his mark after all, bringing the WWE Universe to their feet as he put a sock in "The Mouth of the South."
"Piper's Pit" with special guest Daniel Bryan
In the first SmackDown "Piper's Pit" in six years, Daniel Bryan told "Rowdy" Roddy Piper that he would face World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus at Extreme Rules in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, promising that he would both pin The Great White and make him submit.
Piper then decided to air their dirty laundry, calling Bryan's now ex-girlfriend AJ to the ring. The spirited Diva, excited to be on the show, insisted Bryan was a "good person." When Hot Rod pushed in her favor, AJ insisted it was all "her fault." However, despite Piper's compliments in her direction, when Bryan told AJ to leave, she did.
Piper ripped into Bryan, saying the only bright side to the situation was that Sheamus will "kick his head off his shoulders at Extreme Rules, not once but twice." The former World Champion slapped the outspoken Hall of Famer, running out of the ring before the furious icon could return the favor.
Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match
In the middle of the Six-Person Mixed Tag Team Match - featuring The Great Khali, Alicia Fox & Natalya vs. Drew McIntyre,Nikki &Brie Bella - McIntyre walked out on the Bella Twins, claiming he was "better than this." This left Alicia Fox to finish off Nikki with Northern Lights.
After the match, Khali began to dance with A-Fox and Natalya on the entrance ramp. They were soon joined by Mae Young, who planted one hot kiss on The Punjabi Playboy.
Hunico def. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan by Disqualification
WWE Hall of Famers Sgt. Slaughter and"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan ultimately pulled a page out of Hunico and Camacho's playbook. Even though it was Duggan's match, it was a double team effort from the start. After "Hacksaw" utilized his trademark 2-by-4 – technically losing the contest – Sgt. Slaughter locked in the Cobra Clutch on their unfortunate prey. All-in-all, they lost the battle, but won the war.
Damien Sandow brought his unique brand of wisdom to the WWE Universe – Part 2 ( WATCH)
Check in with one of SmackDown's newest Superstars.
"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and Big Show interrupted Cody Rhodes
When "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes interrupted his son Cody to question his "poking a stick" at Intercontinental Champion Big Show, the younger Rhodes claimed his father was embarrassing him and began to walk out.
As the former Intercontinental Champion made his way away from the ring, however, The World's Largest Athlete emerged – showing an embarrassing clip of Cody giving grooming tips during his "Dashing" period. That did not stop Dusty from breaking into a dance to the delight of the WWE Universe.
Sheamus & "Mean" Gene Okerlund def. Daniel Bryan & Alberto Del Rio
WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel emerged to introduce "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Sheamus, as they took on Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio.
In the height of the action – with The Great White out of the ring – Bryan, Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez surrounded poor "Mean" Gene, bringing an array of WWE Legends to the squared circle. And as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper argued with Bryan, Sheamus reemerged, blasting his opponent with the Brogue Kick for the victory.
After the match, the Legends celebrated a great night by surrounding Del Rio's ring announcer and taking turns punishing him. When Michael Cole got in on the action, the outspoken ring announcer got more of the same.
Prior to the match, Sheamus and "Mean" Gene discussed their chances

Think the TSA was just restricted to airports? Think again.
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
If you're still living under the delusion that the TSA is just restricted to airports then think again. A joint VIPR "security exercise" involving military personnel has Transportation Security Administration workers covering 5,000 miles and three states, illustrating once again how the TSA is turning into a literal occupying army for domestic repression in America.
The TSA, in alliance with a whole host of federal, state, local agencies as well as military personnel, is currently conducting a massive "security exercise" throughout Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.
"The participating teams are composed of a variety of TSA assets including federal air marshals, canine teams, inspectors and bomb appraisal officers. They will be joined by state and local law enforcement officials to supplement existing resources, provide detection and response capabilities. The exercise will utilize multiple airborne assets, including Blackhawk helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as waterborne and surface teams," reports the Marietta Times.
Although the exercise is couched in serious rhetoric about preparedness, it relates to "no specific threat" and the details are nebulous to say the least and seems to revolve around little else than testing out high-tech surveillance equipment and reminding Americans who their bosses are.
"In addition to using three helicopters for aerial inspection, the exercise made use of the Ohio Highway Patrol's camera-equipped Cessna Caravan, which is capable of transmitting close-up, detailed real-time images of objects on the ground taken from more than five miles away," reports the Charleston Gazette.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (AD)
The exercise seems to be about little more than a show of force by the TSA in light of a massive resistance against their agenda, particularly in Texas where a recent bill that would have banned invasive TSA grope downs almost passed and is set to be up for debate again.
Michael Cleveland, federal security director for TSA operations in West Virginia admitted as much when he said the event was about letting, "people know we're out here."
As we have documented, TSA grope downs and body scans are now being rolled out on highways, street corners, train stations, bus depots, public buildings, at sports events, and even at local prom nights as part of the VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) takeover of the country.
The TSA has also announced its intention to expand the VIPR program to include roadside inspections of commercial vehicles, setting up a network of internal checkpoints and rolling out security procedures already active in airports, bus terminals and subway stations to roads and highways across the United States.
These internal checkpoints, run by Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the TSA, involve trucks being scanned with backscatter x-ray devices in the name of "safety" and "counter terrorism".
Since the launch of the Department of Homeland Security's "See Something, Say Something" program, the DHS has also released promotional material which depicts would-be TSA agents conducting searches at public events, including a Buccaneers football game.
Homeland Security is also developing technology to be used at "security events" which purports to monitor "malintent" on behalf of an individual who passes through a checkpoint.
Forget the airports, the TSA has already spread its tentacles to invade almost every public facet of American society.
President Obama's election campaign promise to create a domestic "security force," that is "just as powerful, just as strong" as the US military is now coming to fruition as the TSA expands to turn American into a checkpoint-festooned hellhole where constant fearmongering about terror threats is the justification for the construction of a Sovietized police state.

The killer whales of SeaWorld Orlando have drifted into familiar territory with the new "Shamu Celebration: Light Up the Night" show, which features the orcas in splash mode with an original soundtrack.
The production, presented as the final whale show nightly during SeaWorld's Summer Nights promotion, replaces "Shamu Rocks," which I begrudgingly had to agree was "high-energy" when it debuted in 2007. Those poolside electric guitarists from "Rocks" are gone, but other elements — including the curiously dancing trainers — made it into this show.
One format change is obvious before the show starts. Ensconced above the stage level and to the left is a DJ, who acts as a host of sorts during the pre-show warm-ups. (The DJ also is sometimes seen on the jumbo screens that flank the stage behind the pool.)
SeaWorld does a good job of using upbeat music to entertain the audience, which is full of early arrivals at Shamu Stadium. "Light Up the Night" is preceded by a dancing-by-the-decades video segment showing folks how to do the mashed potato and other signature dances. The split screen features audience members getting down with their bad selves. It's good clean fun.
The tone is just right for an end-of-night show. It's after sunset and Mom and Dad are, no doubt, weary — past the point of wanting a preachy conservation message. The show begins with an interaction between the DJ and an onstage trainer, who explains some of SeaWorld's mission. The script has an enthusiastic emphasis on numbers. (Baby whales are born 8 feet long! The oldest killer whale in Orlando is 38 years old! He has been a trainer for 12 years!)
I shouldn't mock the trainers' speech patterns because they obviously have more nerve than I do. Have you seen the unforgiving dive suits they wear?
On with the show. In the opening song, called "Light Up the Night," the whales do a lot of leaping, frequently in a side-by-side formation. Those moves make a big impression. But the crowd also showed appreciation for little behaviors such as a pirouette that mimicked the landside trainer's twirl and one whale's sideways moonwalk across the landing space near the audience. It looked like the creatures had been taking notes from their dolphin co-workers.
The show gears down for the ballad "When One World Meets Another," which includes a lot of lingering, lovey-dovey hugs from trainer to whale. Then things go Latin with "Glow in the Night," which features a Gloria Esteban vibe and more dancing from the trainers. At least they don't have the red scarves to wave as they did in "Shamu Rocks."
The can't-get-it-out-of-your-head "Make a Splash" wraps up the show. That song cues up a memorable sequence in which four of the animals take aim at a key seating section in the splash zone — at the same time. Those folks got drenched. (Note to self and to you: If there are three warnings about the splash zone before the show, get up and move to higher ground.)
A plea to the guests to learn the arm movements for a "Make a Splash" chant was largely ignored by my group. I think folks still miss the pounding "Shamu, Shamu" cheer.
By the time the music ends, there are fireworks, blazing ornaments, pop-up jets of water outside the tank, spinning LED screens and all whales up front for one big ol' photo op.
"Shamu Celebration: Light Up the Night," part of the parent company's 50th birthday hoopla, will be presented every evening through Aug. 10.

Tight Game Turns Into Big Win For E-Hawks
MANSON – Going into Friday's game with the Cougars of Manson Northwest Webster, Emmetsburg Head Coach Mike Dunlap knew the E-Hawks would be in for a battle.
He was right – for awhile.
After a tied-up first quarter and a three-point lead at the half, Emmetsburg outscored the Cougars 26-7 in the second half to record a 43-21 victory Friday night to improve to 4-1 on the season.
The E-Hawks' first drive on Friday would end up in a punt, but so would the Cougar's. On the second possession, the E-Hawks stared at their own 13 yard line, and with some hard running by Andrew Wellik and Cody Henderson, Emmetsburg would work their way downfield until Wellik threaded his way through the defense for a 33 yard touchdown run with 5:33 to go in the quarter, Nick Merwald added the kick for a quick 7-0 lead.
But, Manson would answer quickly. On their second down play, quarterback Alex Bush hit Hudson Spedding with a 64 yard bomb that was nearly intercepted by Grady Christensen. The kick by Bush tied the score at 7-7, which would carry through the end of the first quarter.
After Emmetsburg punted shortly before the end of the first quarter, the Cougars would end up punting to start the second frame, giving Emmetsburg the ball at their 36. Once again, Emmetsburg ground its way downfield and got inside the 10, but were stopped to set up a fourth and seven at the eight. With 7:52 to go in the quarter, Nick Merwald came away with a 26-yard field goal to give the E-Hawks a 10-7 advantage and a little breathing room.
On the resulting kickoff, the Cougars would fumble the ball at their own 17 yard line, with Austin Krause jumping on the loose ball for the E-Hawks. But in a cruel twist, on the first play after the turnover, the E-Hawks would fumble the ball right back to the Cougars, who recovered it at their own 20.
The Cougars would take over and managed to drive 80 yards, capping off the drive with a four yard score by Brody Eischeid with 3:47 to go in the half. The kick put MNW up by a 14-10 margin, but there was still time to play in the half and the E-Hawks made good use of it.
Starting at their own 35 yard line after the kick, the E-Hawks answered quickly as Wellik took a handoff at the 44 yard line and bounced off tacklers as he ran through the heart of the Cougar defense and outraced the defenders 56 yards for a score with 2:30 to go in the half. Merwald added the kick for a 17-14 lead.
The Cougars would go three and out and Emmetsburg threatened but time ran out with the E-Hawks at the four-yard line for the 17-14 lead at the intermission.
The Cougars would get the ball to start the third quarter, but on fourth and three, tried a fake punt, only to be stopped by the E-Hawks. Emmetsburg took over and methodically drove downfield, capping off a 61-yard drive with a three yard run by Wellik. Merwald's kick made the score 24-14 with 9:34 to go in the third quarter.
Once again, Manson would go three and face a fourth and two only to be stopped again by the E-Hawk defense.
With just over 6:00 to go, the E-Hawks started downfield again, this time capping off a 75-yard drive with a 12 yard run by Wellik with 2:23 to go, the third attempt on the drive after two previous runs of 12 yards were called back on penalties. On the conversion kick, the snap went high. Merwald picked up the ball and attempted a pass into the end zone that fell incomplete, giving Emmetsburg the 30-14 lead.
The E-Hawk defense continued to battle hard as the clock wound down, and with 1:27 to go, Jake Jackson picked off a pass at the Cougars' 35 yard line.
Working down to the 16 yard line to start the final quarter, the E-Hawks got a five yard touchdown from Brady Christensen with 11:32 to go in the game. Merwald's kick made the score 37-14 as the reserves came in for Emmetsburg.
A three and out would follow for the Cougars and Emmetsburg struck again with a two yard run by Allen Jensen with 8:33 to play. The kick was blocked, making the score 43-14.
The E-Hawks would get a sack from Mitch Petersen to kill a Cougar drive and then rand the clock down before turning the ball over on downs. Manson would score with :40 to go off a six yard run by Ty Condon and the kick made the final score 43-21.
Emmetsburg rolled up 566 yards on the ground off 66 carries, while Jake Jackson completed one of four passes for six yards to give the E-Hawks 572 yards, compared with the Cougars' 346 yards.
Andrew Wellik racked up four touchdowns off his 33 carries for 353 yards, while Cody Henderson added six rushes for 55 yards. Allen Jensen added eight rushes to gain 47 yards and Jake Jackson ran the ball seven times to pick up 46 yards.
Austin McCartan made three carries for 37 yards, with Brady Christensen adding three carries for 30 yards, with Nick Schany adding an eight yard run. Mitch Petersen had three rushes for three yards and Brandon Elbert gained two yards.
Defensively, Jake Jackson made nine tackles while Mitch Petersen and Tanner Mitch Petersen and Tanner Dahm both made eight stops and Nick Schany added seven tackles. Mitch Petersen recorded a quarterback sack, while Austin Krause recovered a fumble and Jake Jackson intercepted a pass.
This Friday will mark the end of Homecoming week in Emmetsburg as the E-Hawks play host to the Wolfpack of Hull Western Christian. Kickoff on Friday will be at 7 p.m.

Schools tell parents to keep sick students home
Districts hope to dodge worst of flu season
The challenging flu season is hitting working-age adults hard, but it's having less of an impact on local schools. Some Kansas City-area school districts are hoping to keep themselves immune from the worst of the problems.
The Liberty and Shawnee Mission districts have sent home notes advising parents to keep their children home if they're sick.
Nurses in Liberty said they're trying to keep a close eye on the situation. They said if children show signs of having a cold or the flu, including nausea or persistent coughing, they should stay home.
"That's when those diseases can spread, and the cold or flu can really spread," said Liberty School District Health Director Kathy Ellermeier. "So we do understand it can be a hardship, although in the long run, it's a better -- it's the best choice."
Districts said they prefer parents keep students home until they are symptom-free for 24 hours, which means they're showing no signs of being sick and not taking any medicine for it.
Experts said it's not too late to get the flu vaccine. In fact, people can get them all the way into spring.

Municipality of Nemocón N5 3 58.76 W73 52 36.83
Municipality of Tausa N5 11 43.93 W73 53 10.82
Municipality of Zipaquirá N5 1 24.01 W74 0 14.53
Zipaquirá, Nemocón and Tausa, towns which make part of the Cultural Landscape of Salt Towns, are located in the region called the Sabana de Bogotá (Bogota Savanna), whose name is taken from the river that runs from north to south. This is a place which, 100 million years ago, was part of a sea with marine deposits, clays and sandstones; upon drying during the Cretaceous period, large salt deposits originated which remain today.
The municipalities under study add up to a total of 120,569 inhabitants, from which Zipaquirá has the largest number with 101,551 and 87.17% inhabitants, located in the county seat (thereby being the main town of the area), unlike Tausa and Nemocón, which are characterized as rural municipalities with 30% of the population living in urban areas and the rest (70%) in rural areas.
The studies carried out in the area allow to establish the presence of humans for about 8,000 years and is one of the sites of earliest human activity inside Colombia. These are groups of hunters and gatherers who were located in foothill areas and who began to develop agricultural practices and process salt about 2,000 years ago during the so-called Herrera period (3500-1200 years Before Present - BP). In this regard, there are two pre-Hispanic archaeological sites wherein remains were found such as ceramic clay pots used for the evaporation of salt water, and this allowed to know the earliest dates of salt processing in the Sabana de Bogotá, the "Zipaquirá V" in Zipaquirá and "Hill of Salt" in the municipality of Nemocón.
The ceramics found in Zipaquirá V showed that this was a semi-permanent human settlement where people lived on farming and hunting, while there are also rock shelters in the area used by travelers and hunters for shorter periods. The rapid development of the salt industry that can be seen at the site would, by the first century B. C., provide for a population estimated at around 30,000.
In turn, excavations in Nemocón allowed the identification of a 3.30m - deep deposit, which indicates continuous occupation of the place of about two thousand years. Evidence yielded by the study of the fragments of ceramic vessels used for evaporating salt water indicates that the earliest date of occupation is the year 2210 + / - 65 Before Present.
The process of obtaining salt in the Herrera period is the same process which the Muisca culture would use centuries later, and would remain up to the nineteenth century without major variations. Salt was obtained from sources of salt water and placed in large clay pots on furnaces fueled by firewood from nearby forests. When boiling, water would slowly evaporate and salt in solid state would sit in the pot, would later be broken into pieces for transportation. The ready – to – market product used to be called "loaf of salt".
The Muiscas were producers of salt by the time the Spaniards arrived. Their main production sites were Zipaquirá Nemocón and Tausa, and they marketed salt in locations as far as 200 kilometers. This is the case of the salt found by Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada (Spanish conquistador who founded current Bogota) and his soldiers in the mountains of Opon and Puerto de la Tora (today the city of Barrancabermeja), on the Magdalena River. When Jimenez de Quesada arrived and found the loaves of salt, different from rock salt which came from the sea, he was surprised and motivated to explore the mountains. Shortly thereupon, Jimenez de Quesada and his soldiers discovered and conquered the Muiscas; for this reason salt can be considered the key to the conquest of the highlands. It is worth noting that such was the importance of salt as an element of barter, and such was the high volume being traded in Zipaquirá and Nemocón, that it brought high power at the political level within the structure of the indigenous Administration.
The beginning of the colonial period was characterized by the fact that exploitation and trade of salt continued to be in the hands of the indigenous peoples, as those who wished to produce salt had to pay taxes to the Indian Chiefs (Caciques) of the towns which owned the saline sources. This fact fostered a quite particular situation in Zipaquirá during the colonial period, as it propelled coexistence amongst indigenous populations and white people who settled in the zone, whereas up to the time both groups had been living separately. Years later, towards the late XVI Century, in establishing the Real Audiencia de Santa Fé (Royal Court of Santa Fe – today Bogota), the first steps were taking towards the definition of new provisions with regard to the production of salt in the New Kingdom of Granada, and specifically in Nemocón, Zipaquirá Tausa and their annexed townships. These changes were associated with increasing the size of the ovens and clay pots in order to increase production, and by the seventeenth century there began the process of controlled exploitation of rock salt in Zipaquirá, which used to be diluted in water, thereby obtaining brine.
However, management of salt exploitation by the Spaniards was poor, since there was always shortage of salt in the New Kingdom, which led to setting forth new provisions by the early nineteenth century, a period which coincided with the visit of German intellectual Alexander von Humboldt. Von Humboldt made some contributions to the operating system, the most important of them having to do with the introduction of mines and tunnels for rock salt extraction, which began to be converted into salt grain by 1817. The latter became the first step to eliminating the traditional Indian system of mineral processing. This system of tunnels is still valid currently, albeit with some variations.
Having achieved independence from Spain in 1819, control over the benefit of the salt was made by the emerging state, preserving its monopoly until today. Salt trade encouraged the collection of taxes for the construction and maintenance of pathways through which the processed mineral would be transported, as well as the construction of a railway line which connected this area with Bogotá.
Exploitation both in open and underground mines in Nemocón and Zipaquirá was perfected during the nineteenth century, beginning with the hauling of the mineral by means of oxen, the subsequent introduction of streetcars and, by the end of the nineteenth century, the appearance of railways along which wagons would circulate carrying saline material. By the early twentieth century, excavation was already performed vertically.
All these forms of production have left a mark on the landscape of the area which depended on the technique used at the time, always seeking the most efficient way to transport and market the salt. This resulted in improvement in the original pre-Hispanic roads, the development of railways and finally the rise of roads until achieving the image of country we have today. The existence of this mineral was decisive for the emergence of communities that reached a certain level of power during the pre-Hispanic period, and the subsequent control of its production by the Spanish was used as an instrument of power.
The inhabitants of these three towns find in salt the most powerful element of their cultural heritage, and the salt mines are visited annually by thousands of people from all over the world.
Cultural resources associated with this cultural landscape are:
- Deposits of Ceramic at the Colina de la Sal - Salt Hill site (Nemocón)
At the top of the hill under which the Nemocón Salt Mine was excavated, there were traces of salt process – related work during the pre-Hispanic period. These vestiges consist of pieces of pottery represented belonging to pottery known as moyas or gachas, porridges used in the evaporation of salt water, and is the largest and best preserved evidence of this activity within the country. Gachas or moyas were pieces of pottery in which salt water was evaporated from water coming from springs which surrounded the vicinity of the land where the salt mine is located today; the pots would be placed on burners on which, after two days of continuous evaporation of the brine, loaves of salt would be obtained by breaking the pots, and the loaves of salt would be subsequently sold.
- Urban Traces of Population Centers
The three towns located in this Cultural Landscape were formally founded in 1600 as Indian villages notwithstanding the fact they already existed and their administration was entrusted to an encomendero (Chancellor).
In the case of Nemocón, the urban area has a peculiarity among the towns studied, and that is to have originated its layout from an architectural element, the Casa del Encomendero (which still exists), from which the location of the main square and the church were decided, unlike other Indian villages where the most important element of the urban space, as well as the sole element of organization, was the main square. For this reason, and because of previous existence of roads connecting Nemocón with neighboring Suesca and Zipaquirá, only a few blocks are square or rectangular in shape as established for newly founded towns. Most blocks have a shape which adapts to the foothills and roads.
As for Tausa, the existence of a geological fault and the progressive deterioration of the buildings determined, in 1940, the transfer of the municipality's urban center to its current site. There still remain, however, some elements of the original urban layout, such as the Casa de Administración de las Salinas - Saline Industry Management House, and the church.
Zipaquirá was founded in 1600 by Luis Enriquez as an Indian town, but it was also a residence for Whites for many years. As such, it was the most important populated town of the region, even to this day. It preserves an important collection of architecture from the Colonial and Republican periods.
- Nemocón Salt Mine
The Nemocón Salt Mine is, along with the Zipaquirá Salt Mine, a unique example in the Latin American context of exploitation of this mineral through underground structures. The difference with the Zipaquirá salt mine lies in the religious character of the latter, as well as and the testimonial character of the mining activity of Nemocón.
The Salt Mine is distributed in two levels of operation: Santa Barbara (the closest to the surface and the level which now can be accessed by visitors) and Santa Isabel (with restricted access and flooded by a lake of brine). The level of access is located 60 meters deep below the top of the mountain and is accessed through a system of ramps and stairs.
The excavation tunnels were built with the "German Door" system, consisting of eucalyptus – tree frames which gradually become petrified over time and because of exposure to the environmental conditions of the mine, as well as the system of "baskets" that support the terrain in places where there is greater clearance between floor and ceiling.
The museographic arrangement inside the mine displays the working conditions within this place, whereat the miners developed their daily activities such as ballroom and chapel, as well as the presence of elements akin to their work such as coaches and lamps. Also, a museum has also been built on the outside showcasing the geological and paleontological richness of this area of the Sabana de Bogota.
The construction of the mine dates back to the early nineteenth century (1801), when Alexander von Humboldt reaches Nemocón and leaves the foundations for underground excavation of exploitation tunnels. The appearance of the mine brought about a change in the way mineral resources had been exploited up to the time, as it introduced the method of saturation of the rock extracted in fresh water wells. The mine thus became an important source of employment and the motor for the identity of the population for a long time. The mining activity itself remained in force until 2003, when the exploitation method changed and brine extraction started at the Santa Isabel level through piping.
Since its appearance, the Nemocón Salt Mine has become a major source of identity for the population. The mine was one of the principal sources of employment until the exploitation method changed, and narrations belonging to the realm of mining survive amongst the inhabitants of the town.
- Zipaquirá Salt Mine
The Mine is the most important element of identity of this municipality, and one of the most nationally and internationally renowned elements of the country's central area. The mine is located on the foothills west of the town of Zipaquirá. The Salt Mine which is open to visitors is built 60 meters below the original mine, which was closed in the first half of the twentieth century. The Salt Mine is one of the sites with the highest number of visitors in the country; its existence is promoted internationally and has been declared as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
- Nemocón Salt Museum
A whole narration has been built about the importance that salt processing has had for the region, and particularly for Nemocón. The facilities of the Salt Museum are currently located at the former Casa del Encomendero, the oldest building in the town, located east in a corner of the main square. The Museum is divided into two levels. The first level houses meeting rooms and a hall where a permanent installation in the exhibition will soon be built, which is currently at the Museum of Natural History located of the Savanna, located at the Nemocón Salt Mine. This exhibition will address issues relating to the first settlers of the Sabana de Bogotá who settled in this area. The second level addresses the salt processing topic per se, both in pre-Hispanic times and in colonial times.
The Museum operates since 1996 in one of the few buildings of the colonial period which are still standing in Nemocón, and it is a one - of - a - kind museum in Colombia.
- Artisanal Furnaces in Nemocón
By the early twentieth century, there were over a hundred furnaces in Nemocón for artisanal salt processing, that is, by the evaporation method. Today at the wake of the XX century, there only remains one oven where this method is preserved, though with some variations.
The Salt Furnace is located north of the town of Nemocón, about 500 meters from the main square. The furnace is not an old building, but it does represent a tradition currently in danger of disappearing. There no longer are people in Nemocón currently engaged in this activity, due to disappearance of furnaces. The salt processed is sold at retail for farmers and individuals coming from the departments of Cundinamarca, Boyacá and Santander.
Justification de la Valeur Universelle Exceptionnelle
Salt is a staple food for humans, both for cooking and for food preservation. In pre-Hispanic times, salt processing was used as an element that gave independence to some indigenous groups located in the highlands of Cundinamarca and Boyacá. During the colonial period, the benefit of the salt was under the dominion of the Spaniards who introduced an organized operating system, whilst during the period of the Republic it has been the state to hold control over the benefit of this product. Historically, this indicates that salt has been used as an instrument of power.
In the towns forming the Salt Cultural Landscape there are visible traces of these salt processing ancient practices, and this has allowed the first inhabitants of the territory to have access to products from different climatic zones though the barter system. Likewise, there are ancestral practices which remain in force, with some modifications, and traces of transformation of the natural environment, driven also by the dynamics of exploitation. We can say, therefore, that this is an area with similar natural and cultural features, having as a common denominator the main element of identity (which has remained over time): salt processing.
Criterion (i): The construction of the Salt Mines was a major technological breakthrough for this area of the continent. Given their age, these mines are an example of technological innovation in the extraction of minerals. The mines are still in operation today with museographic arrangements of a religious and industrial kind, which exalt the mining work developed there, and are visited annually by thousands of tourists from around the world.
Criterion (iii): Upon arrival to the territory, the Spaniards took advantage of the existing physical infrastructure, labor and indigenous practices for salt processing. It is still possible to observe the traditional exploitation method in some artisanal facilities. Currently there is a thematic museum that describes this period of colonial exploitation. Salt processing was a determining factor in the development of a culture that appeared in the Cundinamarca – Boyacá highlands over two thousand years ago, which has left its mark on the territory and is an ensign of their identity.
Criterion (v): The location of salt water springs favored the early appearance of human groups in the area. Exploitation of salt continues to this day, thus becoming a source of work and resources especially for two of the three towns that are located within this cultural landscape (Nemocón and Zipaquirá).
Déclarations d'authenticité et/ou d'intégrité
The resources associated with this cultural landscape are in relatively good condition, and some of them, such as ceramic vestiges of the Colina de la Sal in Nemocón have been protected by Colombian legislation, ensuring its permanence over time. Both the museum and underground mines attract thousands of visitors each year; this makes the mines the main tourist attractions of the North of the Sabana de Bogotá. Although the ways of exploitation of this mineral have evolved, both in the Salt Mine and in the Salt Museum located in Nemocón, the testimony of ancient practices is preserved.

Cultural Landscape of Hallstatt - Dachstein / Salzkammergut (Austria)
Included in the World Heritage List in 1997 under criteria i and iv. "The human activity in the natural landscape of the Salzkammergut dates back to prehistoric times, when the abundant salt deposits began to be exploited in the second millennium B. C. This resource became, until the mid - twentieth century, the basis of the economic prosperity of the area, which is reflected in the architecture of the town of Hallstatt".
Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila (Mexico)
Included on the World Heritage List in 2006 under criteria ii, iii, iv and v. "It lies between the foothills of the Tequila Volcano and the valley of Rio Grande. It covers an area of 34,658 hectares and makes part of a vast landscape of blue agave crops, a plant that has been used since the sixteenth century to produce tequila and, for at least 2,000 years, to make fermented drinks and clothes thanks to its fibers. Within this area we can find tequila distillery activities as an exponent of increased international consumption of the drink throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Today, it is considered that the cultivation of agave is an intrinsic element of Mexican national identity. The site comprises the landscape shaped by the fields where blue agave is grown and urban settlements of Tequila, Arenal and Amatitlán, with large distilleries. It also includes areas of archaeological remains of cultivated terraces, houses, temples, ceremonial mounds and ball game terrains that are a testimony of the Teuchitlán culture, predominant in the Tequila region between 200 and 900 A. D. "
Historic Cultural Landscape of the Tokaj Wine Region (Hungary).
Included on the World Heritage List in 2002 under criteria iii, and v. "The cultural landscape of Tokaj is a testament to the long tradition of wine from this region of hills, rivers and valleys. It is configured by a complex set of vineyards, farms, towns and villages that have an ancestral network of warehouses, and is a living example of the different facets of the production of the famous Tokaj wine, whose quality has been under strict control for three centuries".
In the Cultural Landscape of Salt Towns it is also possible to find elements from different periods, and at different levels, which are related to the exploitation of the mineral, from ceramic remains of pre-Hispanic exploitation and secondary forest plantations (forests which supplied the necessary wood for the operation of the furnace) to industrial facilities represented in underground mines (which remain in use and constitute a special touristic attraction) and the railroad tracks, up to the architecture and urbanism of the three towns, marked by the presence of salt and on which the Spanish put their eyes as centers of power over an entire territory. It is a territory that has been transformed for over 2,000 years from the exploitation of natural resources, an age older than the Agave cultural landscapes of Mexico and Wine in Hungary, and in this sense only comparable with that of Hallstatt- Dachstein / Salzkammergut in Austria.

U.S. Republican committee reports email hacking to the FBI
WASHINGTON, U.S. - The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has launched an investigation into a cyberattack suffered by members of the U.S. Republican Party.
According to a report in Politico, an official of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spotted the hacking of email accounts of some key Republican campaign officials during the month of April, and alerted the committee.
The report noted that the NRCC subsequently discovered that accounts of four senior aides had been targeted and that the accounts were compromised for several months.
However, the U.S. Republican Party officials pointed out that none of the emails had been made public.
The email hacking, which took place ahead of the November mid-term elections, was subsequently reported to the FBI, which began an investigation.
The NRCC, which co-ordinates election campaigns for Republican candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives, the lower house of Congress, confirmed the cyber attack in a statement.
The NRCC spokesman Ian Prior said in the statement, "The NRCC can confirm that it was the victim of a cyber intrusion by an unknown entity. The cybersecurity of the Committee's data is paramount, and upon learning of the intrusion, the NRCC immediately launched an internal investigation and notified the FBI, which is now investigating the matter."
According to senior party officials quoted in the report, the NRCC kept the details of the hacking under wrap, hiding it from the party's leadership, as well as its house members.
The officials said that NRCC feared making the details public as it could make it harder to find the attackers.
Further, sources quoted in the report said that hackers had stolen passwords to access some NRCC email accounts and that the hacking was relatively unsophisticated.
The NRCC has refused to release any further details of the hack, with the spokesperson saying, "To protect the integrity of that investigation, the NRCC will offer no further comment on the incident."
However, the report claimed that the NRCC quickly fixed the problem by changing the passwords on accounts at its web-based email provider.
The committee was further said to have taken steps to protect the organization from similar attacks.

Photonovels and Movies / MOAWP S1/E10: "Defenders of the Dark Empire"« on: February 11, 2012, 01:00 AM »
Smugglers Canyon-Gall-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
New Republic troopers attempt to play relief effort with a horde of Imperial citizens abandoned after the Defeat at Endor six years earlier; the group is personally led by General Wedge Antilles.
Wedge: (passing a crate) please except our charity! Without these provisions youre all likely
One of the Storm troopers shoves the crate away from himself; a New Republic vanguard draws his pistol. Causing a uproar from the native imperials.
Stormtrooper: take yur stinkin ill gotten gains and depart this world! Our emperor will provide for us once hes rid the galaxy of you rebel scum!
Wedge: I wouldnt count on that! Since you people wont let us take you off this rock, I assumed youd at least accept our aid!
Stormtrooper: take yur hospitality and shove it! Only charity you do us would be round up and haul the old garrison commanders runt off of dis rock! You can find him down in the canyon.
Wedge: (speaking into comlink) these savages outcast a child!? Get me any and all available boots on the ground, were saving at least one person from this planet boys.
The new republic vanguard cheers as they sprint away from the native looking Imperial village.
-Hours Later-
Comm-board operator Gigin-Taue Soear stumbles down a treacherous goat path, nearly plummeting to his death at every misstep.
Gigin-Taue Soear: (whining into comlink) Im a technician not a trooper for kriffs sake! Why are we risking the frigate for some little imp kid!
Wedge: (via comlink) Soear could you bolt that attitude down! I know your dads a valuable asset to Red Squadron, but Im your C.O and I need you to put your chin up! Thats an order. Now cut the chatter.
Soear traverses the rocky terrain with continued foppishness and comes upon the blasted out remains of the Imperial Enclave; the heavily damaged ruins are a deserted wasteland.
Whilst marching down the main avenue Gigin-Taue regards a half melted statue of the Emperor, as Soear turns his back upon the decaying edifice a ravenous Cliff Wampa pounces from its obscured perch.
The technician is easily subdued by the hulking creature and snatched up into the air for consumption within range of the carnivorous beasts teeth.
A spear pierces its stomach wide open spilling its intestines upon the cracked permacrete.
The beast falls upon its back dead revealing a young man attired in rags; Soear gasps at this sight while regaining his footing.
Gigin-Taue Soear: (flabbergasted) dear me my boy that was all quite dashing and outright heroic.
Cas-Lo Vont: (hacking off horns) spare me .they dont taste that great with a load of human tissue in their gut.
Gigin-Taue Soear: oh you wouldnt happen to be the outcast boy now would you?
Cas-Lo Vont: (taken aback) havent noticed any others ..
The boy quickly rends the edible flesh from the Wampa carcass and scurries towards a caved in structure; Soear follows him inside. Within the demolished structure, the young boy sits across from an Eviscerated skeleton rolling bloody meat down a skewer allowing spatter to rain down upon himself unabated.
Cas-Lo Vont: (blithely staring) so dinner for three huh?
Gigin-Taue Soear: (aghast) I dont believe your companion will require sustenance my young friend, you and I however should get back to the landing party?
Cas-Lo Vont: (chewing raw meat)..ummm. So yur like what galactic charity? Whats taken so long in getting out here anyways? Been rougher than this for the last six years pal!
Gigin-Taue Soear: tis about to get a whole lot rougher my young friend what with the Clone Emperor and his Dark Empire rampaging about the space ways.
Upon the mention of the Emperor, the young boy stops chewing and stares at the skeleton.
Cas-Lo Vont: (vehemently) lead me from here .now Samaritan.
Gigin-Taue Soear: why I thought wed partake in some of the local delicacy here first.
As if to hasten their retreat, Cas-Lo kicks over his fire pit setting ablaze to the hovel and causing Soear to bolt from the entrance. The young boy stands with his back to Soear regarding the blaze; the technician rises to his full height and places a hand upon the boys shoulder.
Gigin-Taue Soear: whose remains where those boy?
Cas-Lo Vont: (bulldozing past Soear) .the garrison commanders wife, how far is your ship Samaritan?
Gigin-Taue Soear: (rushing to keep up) just a few paces back up that way, names Gigin-Taue by the way; Soear huh
Cas-Lo Vont: (bounding up the path) they ever round up the garrison commander?
Gigin-Taue Soear: (winded) oh no, way I hear it most of the lesser imperial garbage was lost years ago
The young man extends his hand to the older man and pulls him up to his level, revealing theyd already scaled the cliff in unnatural time. The shuttle awaits them with Wedge and his Vanguard ascending its ramp. They quickly sprint to it.
Wedge: (slapping Vont on the shoulder) young Vont eh? Swear Id heard that name recently, best you get aboard. Need you at the comm-station Soear; sounds like our hero squad just went missing in the deep core.
Gigin-Taue Soear: but what would take them all that wa
Wedge: (ushering them up the ramp) stow the curiosity! I helped vape two Death Stars Even I dont know any details, its top level headliner headache stuff; not for guys like us to worry about.

Emperors Citadel-Byss-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
A horde of Skytri warriors bow before the Clone Emperor swearing allegiance, as a hologram flares into existence.
Tiaz: (via hologram) my lord emperor
Clone Emperor: as you can see disciples continue to flood my ranks! What news do you bring to my ears?
Tiaz: (via hologram) our collaborator Zann has done his part and left our employ. Your enemies are on Tython; Vont is their captive.
Clone Emperor: (enraged) unacceptable! The gungan was to be their demise! And they captured our man Vont! Unacceptable!
Skytri Warrior: I pledge my life and that of my warriors Mein emperor! Your nemesis will plead for mercy and we will offer none!
Clone Emperor: excellent, prepare yourselves
The clone sprints from his throne and extends his arms expelling massive amounts of dark force lightening.
From his conjured energy spurts a massive storm that rips a hole through the atmosphere of Byss and devours whole star fleets in orbit as it cuts an unnatural passage across the Deep Core.
The mighty Force Storm causes ground quakes and rumbles the emperors citadel.
The winged warriors begin stretching their wings and almost leap into the wormhole.
Clone Emperor: (shouting) halt! I will not send another set of warriors against the Jedi without adequate leadership .bring in the Sarcophagi!
As the holographic form of Tiaz flickers out of existence Vile servants of the emperor emerge atop hover pods each hauling a stone Sarcophagi. the clone shatters the stones whilst infusing the bodies with raw power.
Clone Emperor: rise my friends! You shall partake in my vengeance upon the Jedi; Darth Miseria your darkness still engulfs the deepest forests of your native Kashyyk!
Clone Emperor: Darth Amok, ravenous slayer of all that crossed your ambitions!
Clone Emperor: Darth Rile, the fallen angel renowned for precipitating false hope in entire civilizations!
Clone Emperor: Darth Ceratis, the miser whom seduced the very fortune that funded the Revenge of the Sith!
The undead sith lords are sucked into the Force storm as followed by the Skytri warriors, the storm vanishes from Byss.
Clone Emperor: (shrinking back into his throne) everything is going exactly as planned
Ramp of the Millennium Falcon-Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
The Falcon skims the tree line as it makes an unorthodox landing in a densely overgrown tinderbox forest.
Artoo-Deeto emerges on the hull of the ship as a groggy Han Solo rushes down the ramp of his vessel and quickly does an inspection sprint around it.
Han Solo: (drawing blaster) you check every bolt up there! Or so help me
Artoo-Deeto: (beeps and whistles)
The Jedi corral Vont and Binks down the ramp and deposit them on their knees with unlit Lightsaber hilts at their backs.
Luke Skywalker: han ease down, we brought it down smoother than Ive ever seen you handle anything.
Chewbacca: (growls)
Jar Jar Binks: (whining) mesa..mesa
Dilbun Vont: (grunting) stow it ya kriffin
The Ganathan king floats down the ramp following Ken whom stares off in the distance.
Ken: what a strange new world?
Empatajayos Brand: theres nothing new about this planet young one according to the navi-computer were in the deep core, gonna be hard to plot a trajectory outta here for one thing.
Luke Skywalker: ok, since weve got no holonet feed out here and were in enemy territory. We need to at least inspect the temple I saw on the way down, before we high tail it outta here. So whos coming and whose stayin?
In a blur of motion a lower hatch on the hull of the Falcon drops to reveal a flatbed airspeeder.
Han Solo: whoevers coming; pile in.
Solo and Chewbacca climb into the cockpit, while Brand levitates Vont into the bed of the craft. Bey,Skywalker,Solusar, Ysanna and Ken sit down as the craft speeds from the Falcon.
Galley of the Millennium Falcon-Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
The captive Gungan sits sulking across from the cylindrical form of Artoo.
Jar Jar Binks: (whining) yousa knowsa mesa! Why dont yousa tells dhem!
Artoo-Deeto: (beeps and whistles)
Jar Jar Binks: (whining) its not mysa faultesa! What are yousa sayin?
The cylindrical droid extends its buzz saw and approaches the Gungan.
Whill Temple-Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
Hans speeder comes to a halt outside a diminutive temple in severe disarray.
Ken: gee goly, a lil temple
Luke Skywalker: rayf, ken come with me.
Luke and the young recruits crawl into the temple doorway.
Dilbun Vont: oh, so iz need dis many babysitters
Han Solo: (loading an energy pack into an blaster rifle) wanna see how I earned my bloodstripe?
Whill Shaman Hall-Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
Luke and his recruits crawl into a vast chamber where a dozen green gnome-like creatures sit Indian style meditating. Skywalker assumes a bowing position and enters a meditative state, Rayf and Ken follow suit.
Luke Skywalker: dont bother boys, there eons into the nether realm of the force. We cannot catch up with them; our only hope is to find a younger one.
Ken: correct me if Im wrong, but arent they the same race as yoda?
Luke Skywalker: your eyes can deceive you; Im more inclined to believe theyve assumed this form to prey upon my feelings.
Rayf Ysanna: (grabbing saber hilt) shifters?
Luke Skywalker: no our literal eyes Rayf! Force illusions arent very advanc
A statuesque shaman awakes.
Yopple: (gravely) suspicious you are? Our true forms these are..yes. Help you we can not.
Ken: but why!
Yopple: (gravely) elude us concept of choice does, infinite is the nature of the force rooted in fate we are accepting of physical actions the whill shaman are not. Knights of the Jedi .disrupt the flow they do clash with naturalness Lords of the Sith incite chaos devour lives unnaturally.
Luke Skywalker: I accept your admonishment; but implore you to reconsider. I am the student of a member of your species..surely your teachings must have bein
Yopple: (gravely) sought solitude amongst the stars many of our kind have sought our knowledge many have understood it .few have pollute the nether realm of the force! some now do natural is our communion within the nether realm .unnatural is it to imprint oneself upon the nether realm. ..Twisted have our teachings been
Luke Skywalker: twisted! the ability to forget how to die? I owe my life to interactions with force apparitions ..if only you shamans would dedicate yourselves to preserving life!
Yopple: (gravely) the guardians of peace and justice the Jedi are supposed to be changed has this?
Luke Skywalker: while I respect your commitment to peace, I can assure you that the clone emperor only offers obliteration! how do the whill shamans intend to sit upon their hands when all youre left with are cauterized stumps?
Yopple: preservation of ones self, bellies a lapse of faith in the natural currents of the force.
Ken: but
Yopple: choice, we do not accept! The will of the force cannot be broken
Luke Skywalker: may the force be with you.
Yopple: with all it is despite greater concentrations.
Whill Temple-Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
Dilbun Vont: (staring down blaster rifle) so ya gots any phoods?
At the mention of sustenance; the mighty Chewbacca starts foraging through the brush.
Han Solo: (looking away from vont) god damn it chewie, quit thinking with yur stomach!
Solusar and Solo break their boundary protection and focus on Vont. During their distraction, the masters of Teräs Käsi spring from the trees and overtake the Wookiee and New Republic agent.
After wounding Bey, Hoar lunges towards Solusar who attempts a force push. The crazed Tuskens advance goes unchecked as solusar continues to stand his ground; unaffected via the Force Hoar hammers the Jedi with his Gaderffii stick, Solusar takes every blow.
The cybernetic Jedi descends upon the scene only to be picked off midair by the chaotic style of Arden Lyn. Amidst the chaos, Gir-Kybo-Ren Cha speeds over to the airspeeder, Vont jumps behind Ren, the swoop speeds away.
Dilbun Vont: (clinging to Swoop) betta notve used all mai kriffin Ysalamiri!
Gir-Kybo-Ren Cha: wes only toasted a couple bags! You knows dare grease also keeps ya blocked from da kriffin jeti!
Dilbun Vont: (chugging a flask of Ysalamiri grease) if it haz to taste like dhis; dont care if da bastages can sense me!
The swoop speeds into the dense forest, while at the entrance to the temple Captain Solo is the recipient of a severe thrashing from Arden Lyn.
Han Solo: (attempting to regain footing) .dirty karkin steel hands!
Arden Lyn: (knocking solo out with a kick to the face) may a rancor pick his teeth with your bones!
Hoar: (Tusken battle cry while waving Gaderffii)
As Solo hits the dirt, Skywalker and his New Jedi Order recruits emerge from the entrance of the Whill Temple; at the sight of many defeated comrades young Ken sprints from the squat position required to navigate the diminutive structure.
Ken: (engaging lightsaber) Ill save everyone!
Luke Skywalker: (bangs head attempting to jump to his feet) Ken! Noooo!
Rayf Ysanna: (attempting to catch ken) master! I cannot feel?
Luke Skywalker: its a Ysalamiri force void! Stop him!
The young Jedi hopeful is charged with brute force by the obese Thok whom wastes no time in effectively disabling the young human.
Skywalker can only watch as Arden Lyn abducts his young recruit and escapes aboard a rapidly departing landing craft which lifts into the skies as quickly as it appeared. Skywalker falls to his knees in disgrace.
Docking bay of the Ravager XIII-Orbit of Tython-10 years after the Battle of Yavin IV
Mere seconds after the shoddy landing craft settles upon its creaking landing gears, the ramp comes down and Gir-Kybo-Ren Cha speeds from the craft atop his swoop.
He is forced to abruptly veer away from the forms of Hayt and Tiaz whom stand at foot of the ramp. The burly biker crashes into a pile of rubbish as Vont leads the Masters of Teräs Käsi down the ramp with their captive.
Dilbun Vont: watch where yur goin dare, chubbs dats be valuable cargos well if it aint the strum with a bite.
Hayt: (taking vont by the arm) at your service.
Vont chokes at the response to his underhanded advance, as the Dark Acolyte produces a hologram projector; wherein flares to life a representation of the Clone Emperor.
Tiaz: (holding Holo-projector and engaging lightsaber) his supreme majesty has concerns
Clone Emperor: (via hologram) why does the Son of Vader still live!
Dilbun Vont: we gots da kriffin kid! Once you git yur keester in emm you can rain hell down upon da jeedai!
Tiaz: such insolence will not be .!
Clone Emperor: (via hologram) quit your speaking! Hayt; I believe it is time for you to convince Dilbun of his duties.
Hayt: (taking vont by the arm) as you wish.
Vont is led by Hayt from the docking bay, as the Dark Acolyte turns the Hologram projector towards the captive Jedi Recruit.
Clone Emperor: (via hologram) aww, such a young boy.
Ken: (exclaiming) leave me alone!
Clone Emperor: (via hologram) nice and stupid looking too.

Information posted is an estimate.
Your personal experience may vary.
You're more than just a label on a bill. UnityPoint Health is dedicated to providing you with the information you need to keep your health on point, including details regarding our charges, your costs and information about financial assistance that may be available to you. We want to deliver easier, more personal care to you and your family.
When you need our services, you may wonder how much your care will cost. Our financial coordinators are available to provide individualized cost estimates based on the type of care you plan to receive and your insurance information.
If you have health insurance, it is best to first contact your insurance provider.
UnityPoint Health also provides patients with out-of-pocket cost estimates based on your planned services and your insurance carrier/plan. To request a cost estimate, call 1-833-23-PRICE. You may also request a cost estimate by using our secure online form.
Why? We are committed to providing you with information about your estimated out-of-pocket cost as you make health care decisions. UnityPoint Health has agreements with many insurance companies that determine the amount we will be paid. Our team will verify your insurance coverage and benefits, including your plan's required co-payments, deductible cost, co-insurance and maximum out-of-pocket cost specified in your plan. We can also discuss your payment options.
If you are not insured or think you will need help paying your bill, please call (515) 574-6627.
Beginning January 1, 2019, the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require hospitals to be more transparent regarding the cost of care. This "Inpatient Prospective Payment System Final Rule" states that hospitals must provide a listing of their current standard charges, including a description for the item or service associated with each charge, for every item and service provided by the hospital. CMS additionally requires hospitals to list their standard charges by Diagnosis-Related Group (DRGs).
UnityPoint Health supports the intent of these requirements and the need to educate patients on the cost of health care services. However, it is important to note that these numbers do not represent what patients will actually owe after a hospital stay or other service or use our new online price estimate form.
A hospital's charges are based on its unique range of services, adoption of new medical technologies, government funding level, patient demographics, and other local and regional factors. There is also a difference between "charges" and "costs":
Charges shown on the lists below do not represent payments or any specific/individual patient responsibility. Your financial responsibility will vary depending on your health insurance plan. Also, fees for doctor services or anesthesia administration are not reflected in this list and will be billed separately by your doctor.
View Fort Dodge's current charge information as of December 31, 2019.
Note: This is a lengthy document. Please review the information prior to printing items of interest.
View Fort Dodge's standard Diagnosis-Related Group charge information as of December 31, 2019.
You may access comparative hospital average charge information at state hospital association websites. UnityPoint Health will continue to provide this useful information for health care consumers.
Hospitals are prepared with doctors, nurses and high-tech equipment around the clock for illness or injury. The care you receive is always unique. The price you see on your hospital bill reflects the many people who care for you as well as the additional people and services that keep the hospital operating.
These include:
Medicare and Medicaid payments (which are often less than what it costs the hospital to provide care)
UnityPoint Health will continue to improve how we share information regarding our charges and the cost of your care. As you plan for your current or near-future health care needs, be sure to use all the resources on this page and reach out to your insurance provider.

You could call The Fest For Beatles Fans a celebration with kaleidoscope eyes. The Chicago version, which was held this past weekend at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, once again offered a colorful variety of ways to look at the most famous rock band in history. The celebrity guests—musicians who performed with and/or were inspired by The Beatles; authors who've spent years researching them; and artists and photographers who've captured their images—all worked from a different point of view. A screening room showed Beatles-related films, and of course, the fans in attendance all came with their own perspectives.
Upon arrival on Sunday morning, I was a bit disoriented because the layout was different from the way The Fest has been done for several years. The marketplace was now upstairs and divided into smaller rooms rather than the usual downstairs massive area. I could be wrong, but it seemed like there were fewer merchants this year. But there was still a wide variety of t-shirts, buttons, posters, and other memorabilia for sale.
WXRT air personality Terri Hemmert once again served as MC, and although her mobility was limited due to recent knee surgery, she was at the top of her game during interviews with Peter Noone from Herman's Hermits, Mike Pender from The Searchers, and Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees. All three gentlemen offered fascinating anecdotes about The Beatles and the music business in general, but Noone and Dolenz in particular, were very funny. Audience members were invited to take part in the interviews, and the questions ranged from insightful to ill-informed. One audience member addressed Noone as "Henry." Following their interviews, the musicians were available for autographs.
Hemmert was also in charge of the Battle Of The Beatle Bands, in which amateurs and professional musicians compete for the honor of being named the best cover band. Anyone familiar with this competition over the past few years could have predicted that Ringer's All Starr Band, fronted by a charismatic and talented Ringo Starr look-alike, would win. Still, Elementary Penguins, The Ralleys, and Pisces Fish all came in close.


text: Hi everyone, I apologize for asking for help for my first post. My team and I will be travelling on board ship for 1 month and we will have no connection on board, hence making it hard for us to do work and discussion. I have a wireless router DIR 655, and I was thinking to create an wireless lan server so we can communicate via intranet chats and file sharing. May I know if it is possible to do that? will the metal walls reduce the signals and range greatly? Hope someone can help, as we will be setting forth soon. Cheers.
