It's truly sad, but mostly for the fact that it simply a step on kodak's ladder out of silver and into digital. They will soon get rid of all silver products as they have many times publicly announced they are now a digital company. I would rely on no kodak product (or retirement account for that matter). If it doesn't make double digit growth per quarter, they have no interest in it....
It's even a bigger shame that kodak had the clout and marketing ability to bring film back and show it's superiority over digital. But they took the easy road....
As far as their paper, I have to admit that I never knew anyone who used it. On and off I would try it. I think I even have some new packages of it here. But for actual use, other companies always seemed better _and_ cheaper. Except for the resurgent use of AZO, I don't see this as a great loss, except as noted above...
It would be nice if kodak came back to assert it's dominance in the silver-photo industry and they could have. But I think they've gone too far now. It's all about fireing the employees, moving production out of the country and making the cheapest product with the highest return possible for the shareholder, and huge bonuses for the few people at the top. Not unlike most American manufacturers nowadays... The power of the beancounter....

This would be a good time to ask whether anyone knows of a variable-contrast enlarging paper made by someone other than Kodak that will work properly with Kodak "Polycontrast" filters! (I went through this once before, when DuPont got out of the photographic paper business 35 years ago.)
You could argue that Kodak is more sinned against than sinning. Kodak, like all other large publicly-owned companies, is held hostage by a small band of "securities analysts" whose understanding of any industry is limited to share-of-market, quarterly appreciation, and what they think of as "trends." They never have understood Kodak's dominance of digital photography, and seem to be obsessed with the idea that silver halide is on the way out, no matter what the annual sales may be, so anyone active in producing sensitive materials is regarded as wedded to the past, reluctant to think out of the box.
You also could argue that George Eastman's original vision -- "You push the button, we do the rest" -- is fulfilled by digital cameras in a way never previously attainable, and Kodak is remaining true to that vision. Kodak has competed fiercely and successfully to remain dominant in niche markets where technical superiority commands a premium price, e.g. medical and dental imaging, but otherwise has moved into and out of niches -- commercial lenses, professional cameras -- according to the changing state of the market.
Perhaps we need to remember the selling adage that people do not purchase a drill because they want a drill; what they want is holes! Most people feel that way about cameras...
I think the future of black and white, and of silver-halide photography in general, is in the Fine Arts niche. Oil paints did not disappear when acrylics entered the market; they simply moved from the commercial graphic arts to the fine arts category.

As usual, t.r. is right on the mark, IMO. But to speak to his original question: when I was faced with the decision to switch paper brands from Kodak to Ilford Multigrade, I bit the bullet and plunked for a set of the Ilford filters. I never regretted doing so, and during the remaining time that I maintained an active chemical darkroom, I found Ilford paper to be the better choice for my needs (the only brand I liked as well or better was the old Oriental Seagull---they had a very nice RC matte paper that came very close to duplicating the look of an air-dried "F" surface conventional paper.)

Many people state ""George Eastman's original vision -- "You push the button, we do the rest"" slogan but in my opinion are missing his vision altogether.
There's that "... we do the rest" part of it where kodak actually made most of their money from! Sure, you buy a 1 dollar camera, push the button, then _pay_ kodak to process the film and you _buy_ more film. Or you _buy_ the chemicals and paper (and equipment in the good old days) to do the processing yourself. Next year you _buy_ a better camera, push the button, then _buy_ more film, and on, and on it went. The buying part of it. It doesn't work that way with digital.
Most of the people who use digital are happy enough printing (when they do print) on ordinary copy paper. So far I have only seen a single print on digi-photo paper in all these years. Why bother? It's not what digi people are interested in...
So, in kodaks modern vision: you buy their camera, push the button and _you_ do the rest. No more buying from kodak! And when the camera breaks, you most likely will not buy another kodak because the first one broke. And they are all pretty much the same anyway. Nowadays most people are happy with their camera phones...
There's no more _buying_ from kodak once the camera is in-hand. Down the tubes goes George's vision...
It would figure that just when analysts are saying that digital camera sales have flattened out and people are happy with camera phones and there won't be any more spurting growth in the field, kodak dumps everything and dives head-on, eyes close into the digital swamp. At least in that, they are holding true to their recent historical path. I'm just waiting to see what happens to them when digital falls completely flat...
Also remember that the disclosed sales loss, such as with the B&W paper is not a true loss. It is the loss agaisnt the projected gains, usually 10% or higher. That's how corporations work, and they are allowed by our big government laws. They work entirely on projected gains and losses and pay their taxes on the projections. So if they project a 25% gain, only make a 10% gain, they have a net loss of 15% and qualify for tax refunds for the losses. But in the real world, they actually made a 10% gain and no losses... Great system....

I too think it is bad they are out of the B&W paper market. Not necessarily because their products were so good, but because they were so available. To the general [especially younger] market.
Anything done to inhibit growth of the hobby in beginning users is bad for the rest of us, because it is their purchases which keep [kept] the company going.
I've discovered there are a surprisingly large number of younger photographic enthusiasts still using film & paper and this will not encourage them to continue this medium. Too bad!
Do you really think they'll continue the B&W film production very long under these circumstances? Personally, I don't. Then, we'll be left with only overseas sources like we are for the paper now.
The only saving grace I see in that scenario is that thriving third world and Asian markets still have a long way to go before they adopt the "digital standard". They will be the primary market for film for a decade or two. We should be able to feed off their suppliers for the near future. In the long run, this will become a very speciality craft.

It's too bad they did not spin the paper production off to act independently; it might have been viable. And unfortunately, it is true that the film will probably follow down the tubes. Me, I went to Ilford years ago, but that does not mean that I would not like to have choices.
While it has been more expensive, I think the Kodak film has a quality edge. Ilford has had some QC problems in the past few years (it took me a while to catch on to the fact that the film had scratches and weird marks on it from the factory). I hope they improve their quality now that they have a fresh start. The eastern European stuff seems to be a mixed bag; my limited use shows that it is good, usable film, but without the brilliance that I expect from Tri-X or Ilford HP/FP films. At least it is available in hard to get sizes.
And yes, silver is going to only be found in the "fine art" community. I think it will be available for a long time to come, but we are going to have to adapt to what is available as our favourite combinations are taken from us.

And to add something I did not know, I just got an email about the Kodak discontinuing the B&W paper; it said that the stuff was made in Brazil. I thought it was still made in the States.
The same email said that Agfa filed for bankruptcy a month ago.
I hope Ilford does well.

I switched out of Kodak products years ago, and I suspect that I am not alone, as witness the present difficulties. The only Kodak I use is Gold-100 or -200 color negative 35mm film for point-and-shoot work. That's because I can get it at the KMart for very cheap on sale. One by one, Kodak cancelled my favorite films (Verichrome Pan, Panatomic-X) and reduced their domestic Kodachrome processing capabilities from about a dozen company-operated locations to one east-coast licensee. I wish them well in their new marketing focus (I hear from users that their consumer digital and EasyShare hardware is great stuff), but I'm resigned to accepting the old EKCo as history. Meanwhile, there is "life-after-Kodak," and I, too, hope that Ilford succeeds in what has essentially now become a niche market. To me, the big blow will come when (not "if"---it's inevitable) Kodak discontinues Kodachrome. There is nothing like it: simply the best.

It seems Kodak has acquired a company that makes extremely high end digital gizmos of some kind. Definitely not your consumer market stuff. Consumer digital stuff has pretty much leveled out and may be starting to decline. People will only pay for so many pixels, then it gets out of their price range. As to Kodak Polycontrast filters, they work just fine with other papers. There are comparison figures readily available for different brands of filters/papers. I just use whatever looks good. They all work.

last year when I was working in the local photo store, we did in fact get a bulleton from Kodak, saying kodachrome will be completely phased out by the end of the decade, due to the enviormental concerns with the processing of the film, they were stating that enviormental issues and being unable to obtain permits for thier processing plants as the reason, the kodachrome process is a caustic and very non-enviormental friendly process and they said they were not only having difficulties with the EPA, but the local state agencies.

Thanks, Dave. I'm sure if they put their minds to it they could solve the problem, but clearly they've lost the will and the incentive to do so. Ironic, isn't it, that of all the color transparency processes, only Kodachrome is considered truly archival (?!), unlike E6 chemistry, the longevity of which is known to be limited, and digital, which is a real unknown.

Things come...and things go...just as we will someday. My very first prints were on Kodak Velox in the late 40's, if memory serves me. All my enlargements in the early 50's were on Kodabromide...usually F3. My chemicals, for economy sake, were the Kodak Tri-Chem packs, available at the local Drug Store. My little enlarger was a Kodak Hobbyist cold-light enlarger with an Ektanon lens that only opened up to f6.3. My film was mostly Super XX. Kodak was my supplier and I was grateful for it. But things change...and they must survive in an ever-changing world. I say "Thank you, Kodak" for bringing a little magic into the life of a kid back then. All the people responsible for that are no doubt gone...and there's a new generation. That was then and this is now. I'll continue to shoot...develop...and enlarge black and white as long as I or it lasts...just for fun. It ain't over 'til it's over, as Yogi has pointed out. Enjoy it while you can, folks!! Fred.

I have begun using Efke/Adox film/paper. So far, I have no complaints other than that I can't buy these products locally, but have to order from J and C. This is a relatively minor inconvenience.
Since I can't get Agfa Bovira any longer, Vario-Classic G seemed a good substitute. It does work with Kodak Ploycontrast filters. I will reserve final judgement until I have finished my first 100 sheets, but so far, so good.
Efke PL100 film comes in 2.25 by 3.25, which is great as I still shoot cut film in that format. I'm still experimenting with it, but this product also seems promising.
Quite possibly the future of silver lies in former Eastern Block countries. Kodak is too big a dinosaur to adapt to a small niche market, but Efke/Adox might well manage it.
Stay tuned.

Angels preparing for new replay rules
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Angels will meet next week to discuss the logistics of expanded instant replay and who they'll assign to determine when to use a challenge.
The new rules -- with everything besides obstruction and interference now reviewable, and managers being given no more than two challenges per game -- will undoubtedly introduce a new layer of strategy.
"I think the real challenge is when are you going to challenge," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "There's going to be times when, even if you're right, it might not be something you're going to challenge if you're going to be naked for four innings. You can be right twice and you're done until the seventh inning. You have to be cognizant of that."
Each manager will start the game with one challenge. If it's upheld, he retains it. But mainly because of pace-of-game concerns, he can't have more than two challenges in a game. And a call can't be reviewable by a crew chief's discretion until the beginning of the seventh inning.
Reviews will be conducted at the Replay Command Center at Major League Baseball Advanced Media headquarters in New York, with two additional four-man umpiring crews hired over the offseason to rotate through and review feeds. Each ballpark will then have a designated communication location near home plate, where the crew chief and at least one other umpire will have access to a hard-wire headset connected to the Command Center.
Teams are allowed to have a club employee monitoring video throughout the game to determine which plays are worth reviewing. One candidate for the Angels is Nick Francona, son of Indians manager Terry Francona, who was commander for a sniper battalion in Afghanistan and was brought in as coordinator of Major League player information.
The Angels don't really have the extra monitors at Tempe Diablo Stadium, but will try to use Spring Training games to get a feel for how they'd use the challenge system.
Asked if managers could turn to replay for the simple purpose of icing an opposing pitcher who's dominating early, Scioscia said: "I'm sure there's a variety of ways you can explore why you would use replay, but I think that people are going to use it for the right reason."

I become increasingly entertained with the concept of Johnny Sutton's inevitable demise by his own hand. While I think one might be a tad optimistic in believing Sutton and his cabal of fellows and subordinates in the Western District of Texas, where he and they have been doing nothing but regurgitating, practically ad infinitum, the same, tired talking-points and "myths" (many proven lies, as if none were aware) concerning the Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean border shooting of illegal alien drug smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, could garner any actual jail time resulting from their blatantly hostile and dishonest prosecution of the two former border agents.
I do hold credence in the concept of disbarment hearings for Sutton and company with the preferable outcome actually resulting in banishment from the legal profession altogether. If one has no respect for his or her chosen profession, one should not be engaged in practicing that profession. If that profession involves the professional, through various corrupt and deceptive practices, remanding individuals in a federal penitentiary for 11 and 12 years, then that person should be forcibly removed from that profession. Of course, I would not be sad to see Sutton face more severe punishment.
Now comes word from the private investigator hired by Ramos to locate the illegal drug smuggler, Davila. Apparently Sutton and his crack team of government lawyers and investigators claim they could not locate Davila after the border shooting incident. You might say to yourself, "But they're the government, they're super efficient with this sort of thing. If they couldn't find him, then no one could." Don't say that. Okay? It only took one private investigator, Freddie Bonilla, a relatively brief amount of time to ferret out the drug smuggling criminal.
If Sutton is not an efficient tool of the United States government, then he's either a shill for George W. Bush and the president's SPP plans, or he's just a tool. Actually, I'd say Sutton is both.
Key evidence ignored in border agents' case
Hired by Ramos, detective says he tracked suspect through vehicle

Marijuana found in the back of the van being used by Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila
A private investigator who was hired by former U.S. Border Patrol agent Ignacio Ramos during his trial on allegations he fired at a fleeing drug smuggler says he doesn't think prosecutors made any significant effort to find the smuggler, later identified as Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila.
Freddie Bonilla told WND that his investigation of the Feb. 17, 2005, incident was straight-forward, and led him quickly to Aldrete-Davila's identity, and he believes the federal government should have been able to do the same thing.
Bonilla, who was a homicide investigator with the El Paso Police Department and later the chief of detectives for the El Paso Sheriff's Department, also has served for several decades as a private investigator.
In preparing for the defense of Ramos, who along with Jose Compean was accused of shooting at Aldrete-Davila when Aldrete-Davila's van – loaded with drugs – was trapped by federal officers and he fled on foot back to Mexico, Bonilla said he started by looking at the van that Aldrete-Davila abandoned at the scene.
"Why didn't the Drug Enforcement Administration track down the van to find out who the owner was?" Bonilla asked WND. "That van was physical evidence of the crime that was never seriously investigated. Yet, prosecutor [U.S. Attorney] Johnny Sutton has been all over the national media saying there was no physical evidence he could have used to prosecute Aldrete-Davila. What about the van?"
The two former federal agents now are serving prison terms of 11 and 12 years on their convictions for that incident, even though Aldrete-Davila never was charged with the drug case – or a subsequent drug smuggling incident – and in fact was given immunity to testify against the federal border agents.
In an interview WND published Jan. 20, Sutton said there was no evidence against Aldrete-Davila which could have been used to build a case against him at trial. He explained that was why he granted immunity, to gain access to information in return.
The van used by drug smuggler
But WND also has reported that a March 20, 2005 Department of Homeland Security investigative report filed by Jose Arredondo and vehicle towing receipts document that Aldrete-Davila was driving a 1989 Ford Econoline, bearing Texas license plate number 9GSW89.
At the same time, WND reported that the van was towed to the El Paso sheriff's compound where it sat for approximately one month before the U.S. Border Patrol Evidence Team entered the compound, dusted the vehicle, and found 11 fingerprints, only three of which were duplicates.
But there's no indication the DEA or Department of Homeland Security investigators ever examined the vehicle or the fingerprints for evidence that might have led to Aldrete-Davila.
Bonilla said he quickly tracked the vehicle to Jesus Beltran, an El Paso self-employed construction worker who buys and sells used cars to supplement his income. Then Beltran examined photos of the van provided by Bonilla, as well as wrecking company towing records, and identified it as one he purchased in 2004 from an El Paso wrecking lot.
He registered it under his name and kept it for five months, then sold it to a friend in Juarez, Mexico, for $1,300. The Texas plates on the car at the time of the Feb. 17, 2005, drug incident were registered to Beltran.
"If I could find the car and how it got down to Mexico," Bonilla said, "then why couldn't the DEA or the DHS have tracked down the car in the attempt to find out who the drug smuggler was? Right there I found out far more than anybody ever investigated for the Border Patrol."
Even after Davila came forth on March 4, 2005, with the Mexican Consulate demanding the prosecution of the Border Patrol agents who shot him, Bonilla felt DEA and DHS should have investigated the van.
"If you tracked down Beltran's friend in Juarez," Bonilla argued to WND, "dedicated law enforcement in the U.S. might have uncovered the drug smuggling ring that hired Davila to run that load across the border."
Bonilla provided WND with photos of the drug van at the levee, where Davila ran the two front wheels over the edge before he abandoned the vehicle in the attempt to escape on foot. Bonilla also provided photos of the 743 pounds of marijuana discovered in the van at the scene of the incident.
Another issue Bonilla raised was the cell phone found in the van after Aldrete-Davila fled. "There were a total of 9 Border Patrol officers on the scene Feb. 17, 2005, plus two supervisors. Why is it that the DEA or DHS never investigated the cell phone Davila left behind? That cell phone should have had valuable numbers in the memory that could have led to Davila or the drug syndicate he worked for."
WND also has reported the Border Patrol found a cell phone in the drug van, with a charger plugged into the cigarette lighter.
The telephone became a subject of questioning at the trial for Ramos and Compean, when Ramos defense attorney Mary Stillinger asked the smuggler about it, and he said he got it from drug dealers in Mexico who hired him to walk across the border, find the marijuana-loaded van with a key in the ignition and drive it away.
But there was a discrepancy between his testimony and the evidence observed by investigators:
Stillinger: The phone that was in the van, was that your telephone, or was that a telephone that was given to you for the purpose of helping you to do this transaction? Aldrete-Davila: Yeah, they gave it to me when I got on the van. When they sent me there, they gave it to me. I didn't have a telephone.
Stillinger: Okay. And they gave you the phone charger with it?
Aldrete-Davila: No, just the telephone.
Stillinger: Okay. So the phone charger – there was a phone charger in the van, wasn't there?
Aldrete-Davila: I don't know. They just gave me the telephone. I don't know if there was a charger or not.
Aldrete-Davila further testified that the phone was Nextel and that the drug users used the radio feature, not the telephone, to communicate. He also testified that he did not plug the phone into a charger.
"The whole thing with the cell phone was ridiculous," Bonilla told WND. "That cell phone should have been the first thing DEA or DHS should have been investigated to find Davila or his drug smuggling partners."
"Besides, Davila was lying about everything," Bonilla told WND. "He never explained how that white van on the other side of the Rio Grande knew to be there waiting for him when he ran away. Did he call his buddies when he was evading the Border Patrol hot pursuit? How come DEA or DHS didn't look into whether Davila called anybody when he was running away?"
He also offered an explanation for why Compean and Border Patrol Agent Arturo Vasquez picked up the spent shell casings expended when Compean and Ramos fired at the fleeing smuggler.
"I was a firearms trainer in the Marine Corps," Bonilla said, "and from the first day at the firing range through 26 years in law enforcement, it was hammered into my head that the first command after you finish shooting is to load and holster your weapon, and the second command is always, to pick up your brass or shell casings."
He also suggested that Border Patrol supervisor Jonathan Richards, who was also on the scene in 2005, should have known there had been trouble. "Richards was the main supervisor at the scene and he was made aware there had been shooting, despite what he testified at trial," Bonilla insisted. "Richards saw Agent Compean covered with dirt and bleeding from the face. But he convinced Compean that if Compean reported the matter, that it would require a lot of paper work, and then having to go to the F.B.I."
That would corroborate an earlier report when WND examined the transcript of a May 15, 2005 job suspension hearing Compean had with El Paso Border Patrol Sector Chief Louis Barker, in which Compean said Richards discouraged him from filing written reports after the incident with Davila.
Besides the Ramos-Compean case, there also has been an uproar over the conviction of Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez, who fired his weapon at a van loaded with illegal aliens he thought were trying to run him down. He was convicted for that and he's scheduled for sentencing later this month.
Yet another that already has been resolved, at the expense of a former federal agent, involves David Sipe, who was accused of improperly hitting a coyote [someone who smuggles illegal aliens into the U.S.] while he was resisting arrest with a flashlight. He was convicted and sent to prison before an appellate court overturned his conviction, and he was acquitted during a re-trial in January.
However, Sipe lost both his career and marriage because of the charges against him.

OK fine, after due diligence I realize the absurdity of what Newt Gingrich said in the Jacksonville, FL debate was pandering and not much more, but the man said what he said. Newt Gingrich said by his second term as president, by year 2020, that America would have a moon colony with 13,000 Americans living there and that they could apply for statehood so America would have 51 states. He also mentioned he wanted "manufacturing plants" on the moon. Reread that last paragraph anywhere from zero to one hundred times or however many times it takes to really sink in. I myself I had to rewind the DVR several times because how could his statements have been anything but grandiose rhetoric uttered by a mentally-unstable individual? A moon base? 13,000 people living on the moon?Statehood for The Moon Colony? Manufacturing plant? So by Newt's thinking, allowing Washington, DC to become a state with her 550,000 residents is, and I direct quote him, "crazy," but building the 51st United State in 8 years, on THE MOON is a great idea? Am I the only one who this completely astounds? It's one of the craziest things I've heard, ever, the reasons for which I'll expound on later while the other reasons are glaringly obvious. Anyone reading this agree with me? Per the topic title, I'm not letting this one go, not for a while anyway. I'm not 100 percent "all there," but neither am I completely ... hmm ... gotta keep this clean ... "completely off my rocker."

Do You Know What a Chunky Is?
Serious eaters, I was devastated and shocked when I arrived at World Headquarters today and asked the folks if they knew what a Chunky was. Only one of the five other serious eaters here knew what I was talking about. So, without looking or googling, do you know what a Chunky is?
I'll clear up the mystery for you, after the jump.
As a kid, Chunky was my go-to candy bar. I couldn't believe it was no one else's. At first I thought it was a regional thing, but since it's a Nestlé product, it should be available everywhere. After realizing that, I then felt really old.
Then again, according to Old Time Candy, it was invented in New York, which might explain why only the longtime New Yorkers in the office had heard of it but the more recent transplants hadn't. Or, at least that's what I'd like to think.
That's the current version of the Chunky in the photo; it contains raisins and peanuts today and is divided into four segments. The original version was a single square of chocolate with a lopped-off pyramid shape and was studded with Brazil nuts, cashews, and raisins. It came in a foil wrapper with the word Chunky on it. As in this commercial:

Useful Resources for Structures Reviews
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) is the major policy advisor to the Government in the field of Historic Preservation. They also oversee the implementation of the Section 106 regulations. The Section 106 regulations (36 C.F.R. Part 800) can also be referenced on this website.
National Register of Historic Places. This website not only gives general information on the National Register program, but allows one to search the National Register database by state and county for a list of all resources listed in a particular county.
National Park Service provides information on applying the National Register Criteria. By clicking on How to Apply the National Register Criteria text on the last page, you will find the information that is printed in Bulletin 15, Applying the National Register Criteria for Evaluation.
The Indiana Historical Society provides information on the programs and services of the organization. The website also contains lists of many local preservation organizations in Indiana sorted by county as well as a list of the county historians.
The National Park Service Technical Preservation Services website has information and links for the Secretary of the Interior Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings and Preservation Briefs. The Preservation Briefs provide technical assistance on various aspects of building rehabilitation as well as other related preservation topics. Additionally, the Preservation Tech Notes provide practical information on traditional practices and innovative techniques for successfully maintaining and preserving cultural resources.
The National Park Service's Heritage Preservation Services is devoted to all aspects of caring for historic buildings. Useful features include a couple of interactive rehabilitation case studies that allow one to apply the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation .
Indiana Landmarks is the largest statewide non-profit preservation organization in the country. Indiana Landmarks can provide information on the availability of county interim reports, and the regional offices may be able to provide historical information for a particular area in their vicinity.
The Department of the Interior has links to all its Bureaus: National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Indian Affairs, Land Management, Surface Mining, Minerals Management Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Reclamation. The Bureau of Indian Affairs can provide information on any Native American tribes that may have a vested interest in your project area. This website provides a list of federally recognized tribes. A list of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs) can be found on the ACHP's website.
If your project needs archaeology, as determined by our office, you will need to hire a
qualified archaeologist to complete this aspect of the project. For more information on archaeology in the state, contact the State Archaeologist at 317-232-1646.
Location information and survey data is being collected on cemeteries and burial grounds in the state. State law mandates that before construction can happen within 100 feet of a cemetery (even those abandoned sites with no grave markers remaining), a development plan must be completed through the DHPA. To find out if your project is within 100 feet of a cemetery, contact the Cemetery and Burial Ground Registry Coordinator.
Other Resources:
Interim Reports - These reports provide surveys information on historic buildings, structures, districts, and objects for most Indiana counties. Copies of Interim Reports are usually available at local historical societies and public libraries. A complete set can also be found at the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis. In addition, many Interim Reports can also be purchased from
Indiana Landmarks, 1201 Central Avenue, Indianapolis, In 46202, 317-639-4534.
Specialty Surveys:
There are several texts that cover special resources (railroad depots or bridges). Contact the DHPA at 317-232-1646 to make an appointment to review these texts.
Local historical societies and county historians can provide additional information on the history of a particular area. They may possess county histories and historical atlases, which are good resources for historical documentation. However, most historical societies and county historians are not familiar with the Section 106 process and do not have the knowledge to make determinations of eligibility for potential historic resources or make determinations of effect.
The Indiana Historical Society, through its Local History Services Division, has a list of all County Historians and County Historical Societies. Additionally our preservation and archaeology directory (below) may be useful in finding contact information for local historic societies.

So I checked the forum and couldn't find any poll for this and I was curious given how many options there are what people tended to gravitate to.If I missed yours please reply!
You're missing CPCE.Is not the most accurate. but is fast and works great in Linux with WINE, so for development is my current emulator of choice.http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/CPCE
Like others, I don't use emulators too much.But when I do, I have used 'WinCPC' for years.http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/WinCPCCheers,Shane
Mac has two options. Bannister's bastardised version of Arnold which is unstable as hell, and Kev's WIP version of Arnold that is in progress.
Don't get me wrong, you're doing an amazing job, but sometimes I like to just type something on the basic interpreter.

All along the Saints—particularly the litigious Jonathan Vilma—have called upon the NFL to release whatever evidence they collected in investigating the Saints bounty scandal. This isn't that release, but if it's one of those "official leaks," it's just as good. Apparently the Saints kept a ledger that detailed weekly earnings for hard hits and injuries, and the league has a copy of this ledger. That's bad news for any players still sticking to the "it didn't happen" line.
Yahoo has the report, coming from "two sources with knowledge of the NFL's evidence," which means either someone in the Park Avenue offices, or owners who were shown the ledger.
In the ledger, payments of $1,000 for cart-offs (a hit that resulted in a player being helped off the field), $400 for whacks (hard hits) and $100 deductions for mental errors were kept track of for each player.
Two specific entries for the 2009 season were shown during one meeting. In a game at Buffalo on Sept. 27, 2009, there were three $1,000 awards. In a game against the New York Giants on Oct. 18, there was a $1,000 bounty awarded for one cart-off. [Ed note: In that Giants game, tackle Kareem McKenzie was taken off on a cart with a strained groin, which hardly seems like it should qualify.]
There was also a notation that after one game an opposing player who had been carted off was placed on injured reserve. The notation of the player on IR included an exclamation mark.
I love the little oomph of the exclamation point. Maybe needed a smiley face too.
The ledger is news to George Atallah, NFLPA spokesman, and that's kind of weird considering four players were suspended based at least in part on the existence of this document. But NFL court isn't Common Law; the accused don't have to see the evidence against them. This is a unilateral investigation, trial and sentencing, and the players do not get an advocate until the appeals process. That's unsettling, but presumably the league isn't dumb enough to open itself up to actual lawsuits by coming down on something they weren't sure about. This ledger isn't going to be the first piece of evidence leaked.

Samsung's first 4G device, the SPH-P9000, may not be the nicest looking on the outside, but in my opinion the inside says it all: a 1GhZ Transmeta powered biest. The 5″ display and 65-key QWERTY keyboard will provide enough comfort for serious work on the SPH-P9000 and the processor will presumably be powerful enough to […]

HTC Athena available through T-Mobile as "Ameo"

The HTC Athena is one cool ultramobile PC and it seems that, after I have let loose my slight anger about the Asian market advantage, a European release is to be seen first (seeing as the pictures show screenshots in Dutch).

1,464 MULLANY members around the world
Stay informed about MULLANY Family online & offline events!
See our recent family gatherings
MULLANY Family HistoryRecorded as O' Mullaney, Mullany, Mullaney, and possibly others, this is a relatively rare Irish surname. Originally O'Mulleena and O'Molina, the latter it is said, being found in the place name Crossmolina in County Mayo, as well as Ballymullany in County Sligo, the origination is the pre 10th century Gaelic O' Maelenaigh. This is believed to have the meaning of the male descendant of the follower of St Seanach, an 8th century holy man. This meaning is disputed although nobody seem to have come up with an accepted alternative.

Baths: 4
RE/MAX Jaret & Cohn
I have lived in the MidCoast Maine region my entire life where I attended Waldoboro schools, as well as my three children. After a decade in various administrative support roles in healthcare, I obtained my undergrad at UMA followed by my MA of Leadership and Organizational Studies at USM, Lewiston. My previous primary experience in real estate was in multi-family/commercial transactions where I assisted groups of people in organizing and purchasing communities. Now, a licensed agent with RE/MAX Jaret & Cohn, I really enjoy working with buyers and sellers of residential properties as well. My commitment to residents of Maine is evident by development of two 501c3 nonprofit organizations – the Resident Owned Neighborhoods Association of Maine Cooperative, and the TriPolar Foundation, an organization serving performing and youth musicians in Maine. My dedication to the area provides homeowners and buyers with a resource who is knowledgeable about the region, who serves as a devoted agent in the selling/buying process, and who is committed to helping you reach your real estate goals.

Saudi Arabia, Sept 11 & no churches: never mind, more military sales from US and UK
Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
International terrorism, the radical Sunni Islamic angle, and massive funding coming out of Saudi Arabia, is clear for all to see despite the continuing lambast of Iran. Indeed, the vast majority of individuals involved in September 11 came from Saudi Arabia and only Saudi Arabian funding schools have preached hatred towards Christians, Jews, and others, in the United Kingdom. However, despite this, and much more, the clattering of commerce outweighs everything.
Therefore, political leaders who only care about democracy when the time suits their political objectives, send innocent American and British soldiers to distant lands whereby many are killed or disabled. At the same time political leaders play the democracy and "shared civilization card" but under all the political manipulation both nations continue to pander to Saudi Arabia.
It matters not if the government is Democratic or Republican in America, or if Conservative or Labour in the United Kingdom – because the central theme of supporting Saudi Arabia remains the same. This means that elected officials in both nations abuse the political system in order to support the most undemocratic, gender biased, and hater of religious diversity on the face of this planet. Yes, this applies to Saudi Arabia which crushes all diversity and maintains a firm gender apartheid and religious system.
Astonishingly, despite the complete mass discrimination of Saudi Arabia this nation sponsors major Islamic networks throughout the world in order to spread conservative Islam. In return, the West and the non-Muslim East sells its soul and demands nothing in return. The upshot of all this is that not one single Christian church, Buddhist temple, Shinto shrine, Zoroastrian temple, Hindu temple, Jewish synagogue, and other non-Muslim places of worship like the Sikh faith, is tolerated.
More alarming, all male Saudi converts to Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, or to any non-Muslim faith, face the death penalty for merely leaving the Islamic faith. Also, from a gender point of view you have female apartheid because Saudi women are not allowed to own their own passports and to mix freely in society. Indeed, several years ago many young girls were allowed to burn to death because the fire services feared being punished for entering a female school. This all happens in the land of institutional hatred and where brave Saudi individuals face massive intolerance at the hands of the state apparatus.
Shia Muslims also face severe oppression and in many of the higher institutions of Saudi Arabia the followers of Shia Islam are denied full representation. At the same time the government of Saudi Arabia is helping the Sunni Muslim elite to clampdown on the Shias of Bahrain and many Shia followers have been killed by Saudi Arabian duplicity in Yemen.
Currently the leader of the United Kingdom is in Saudi Arabia whereby he hopes to "broaden and deepen" the UK-Saudi relationship. Of course, the relationship is all one sided because non-Muslims have no equality in Saudi Arabia and women, homosexuals, the followers of the Shia, face so much discrimination. However, the military expansion of this religious and gender apartheid nation will continue because of new enormous military contracts.
Recently, the ethical policy of the Obama administration was seen for what it is after announcing a 60 billion dollar military deal with Saudi Arabia. Clearly the leader of the United Kingdom will follow suit and announce another major arms deal with the most authoritarian and draconian nation in the world where religious freedom and gender equality is crushed.
The terrorist angle and September 11 should have woken many people up because the US and UK were involved in murky dealings in the past in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Pakistan, to name just a few. Therefore, the CIA and other covert ratlines in the 1980s and 1990s were allies of radical Sunni Islam in several parts of the world because of so-called security concerns.
David E. Kaplan in his article called How billions in oil money spawned a global terror network which was published in U.S. News, commented that "The evidence was indisputable: Saudi Arabia. America's longtime ally and the world's largest oil producer had somehow become, as a senior Treasury Department official put it, "the epicenter" of terrorist financing. This didn't come entirely as a surprise to intelligence specialists. But until the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. officials did painfully little to confront the Saudis not only on financing terror but on backing fundamentalists and jihadists overseas. Over the past 25 years, the desert kingdom has been the single greatest force in spreading Islamic fundamentalism, while its huge, unregulated charities funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to jihad groups and al Qaeda cells around the world. Those findings are the result of a five-month investigation by U.S. News. The magazine's inquiry is based on a review of thousands of pages of court records, U.S. and foreign intelligence reports, and other documents. In addition, the magazine spoke at length with more than three dozen current and former counterterrorism officers, as well as government officials and outside experts in Riyadh, the Saudi capital."
It is apparent that Saudi Arabian ratlines got away with September 11 and religious leaders in the West and non-Muslim East have been shackled by political governments and political correctness which is switched on and off at random. The outcome is that the nation of Saudi Arabia continues to fund conservative Islam to the tune of over 100 billion dollars since the mid-1970s in the non-Muslim world. However, not one Buddhist temple and Christian church is allowed in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, not surprisingly nations like the UK now have around 100,000 converts to Islam with the vast majority being followers of the Sunni faith.
Saudi Arabia for decades funded a major Sunni Islamization policy and more militant individuals sponsored global terrorism. The Al-Shabaab in Somalia doesn't dress and behave in traditional Somali ways and militants in Northern Nigeria are spreading the sword to Christians and moderate Muslims.
Irrespective of everything, including inaction after September 11, ignoring the real facts before this event, continuing to ignore the real long-term objective of conservative Sunni Islamic elites in this nation, maintaining the threat of killing all apostates, gender apartheid, and other draconian realities – it is more military sales from the nations of America and the United Kingdom. The ongoing silence about the reality of Saudi Arabia refusing religious freedom, political freedom, and gender freedom, shames both nations and many others which also ignore this reality.
