VIP STORY – TRUCK FIRE
“Saturday morning my brother in law and I loaded the truck (2014 f 150) with a few guns so that after driving him around to see some land around the area for his possible purchase we could go and shoot some clays and targets with his brother that we were supposed to pick up from the airport and our fathers, kind of the guys afternoon before the wedding.
Around 11:50am we were going down a highway through a small town in eastern WA. When a car flagged us down, I rolled my window down and as the driver says, ” Your truck is on fire,” a flame flares up right in front of my face. We both jumped out to see what was going on only to see flames boiling up from under the motor carriage area. We ran to the nearest building and tried to drag a hose over, but it wouldn’t reach. The local fire department showed up with their first truck and the pump wouldn’t stay on. This is when we stepped back and realized, as the airbags popped and flames roared, that we could do nothing. After about 20-25 minutes it was all over, the flames were gone and the cleanup began. In the pictures you can see a during the fire, after the fire what we find of my 260 ai that wears a 6-24 HST, as well as a few other pics.
I am hoping to get a chance to clean this gun up and be able to take a shot with it to see how well it held up to this fire, before I send it back to you guys. There were many items in the truck that were lost and more that were damaged (wish I had pieces of bino’s to send you, but they fried), luckily my bro in law and I were not and we made it the next day to the wedding so that I could get married.
Hope you can use these and my story in some way to help people realize what you guys offer in piece of mind.”

I have the same truck… Any idea what caused the fire?

It’s a ford. Lol couldn’t help myself.
Correction: WAS a FORD. LOL
Not sure, wasnt enough left for ford or inspectors to be able to study.
Why I only buy Vortex Scopes, and optics. Nuff Said.
My brother in law had the same type of fire. Control box on the front of the fire wall overheats and bursts into flames. Made in Mexico. Ford knows about it, but doesn’t do a recall because it only happens to “X” amount. That’s what he was told anyway.
Why did you leave your rifle in the truck? I would have got that out first.
Don’t shoot that rifle. The fire will cause problems with the strength of the barrel and cause catastrophic failure.

Frontier Drum and Bugle Corps - Wikipedia
Manuel Guerrero & Roger Treacher
Crimson and chocolate tunic, black pants and shoes, crimson gauntlets, black gloves, crimson and white sash with silver trim, and black aussie hats with a black and silver plume
Frontier Drum and Bugle Corps was an all age Drum Corps Associates A Class summer drum and bugle corps based in Denton, Texas (USA).
Frontier operated under the umbrella of the Frontier Performing Arts Association (FPAA),[1] which, in addition to Frontier, operated Texas Independent Winterguard,[2] Open Range brass ensemble,[3] the Sky Ryders Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps,[4] and Outlaw mini-corps.[5] Frontier left the field in 2008. Several attempts were made to reform the group, but none succeeded.
1.3 Repertoires
4 Seasons of note
In its first two years, the corps uniform consisted of khaki pants and tops with a black belt and cross-belt, a uniform reminiscent of the 27th Lancers. Since 2007, Frontier wears a chocolate and crimson uniform with brass buttons and white gauntlets and gloves.[6] For 2008, the uniform was supposed to be changed to incorporate silver buttons, red gauntlets with black gloves, and a red sash with silver sequins.
The corps performed using 2-valved and 3-valved bugles.
Repertoires[edit]
Frontier has programmed music from a wide variety of musical genres, including jazz, classical, Broadway, folk, and movie tunes.[7]
The corps logo was the word Frontier with a shooting star crossing it from left to right. The corps song was Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel.
Frontier's membership drew on a large population of displaced drum corps veterans, but welcomed adults with any musical and/or visual experience. Members came from as near as the Dallas metro area and other parts of Texas to as far as Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and California. The corps eventually died because it was spread too thin.
Frontier is an associate member of DCA and a charter member of DCA-Central. Frontier was always trying to create something new and in turn, ran itself into the ground by expanding before it was ready.
Frontier was formed in the fall of 2004 by executive director Chris Green.
In the arts world, Frontier enjoyed a close relationship with the world-famous Turtle Creek Chorale men’s chorus, performing in several concerts and television broadcasts. With the Chorale, corps members participated in recording sessions for the nationally distributed compact disk "Songs of Our Nation",[8][9] an award-winning documentary entitled ”Power of Harmony”,[10] as well as the 2006 Christmas concert.[11]
Frontier also performed in exhibition at the annual Texas Drum Corps Preview,[12] the Denton Arts & Jazz Festival[13] in Denton, Texas,[14] at a roller derby game of Assassination City,[15] and at home games of the Dallas Diamonds[16] women’s professional football team.
From 2005 to 2008, Frontier competed at the DCA World Championships, Brass on the Bayou[17] sponsored by Gulf Coast Sound, as well as annual contests sponsored by Minnesota corps Govenaires and Minnesota Brass, Inc..
In 2007, Frontier also competed at local DCI contests.
Frontier sponsored an annual competition in the Dallas/Fort Worth area called Brass Hysteria.[18]
Seasons of note[edit]
In its inaugural season, the corps received a score of 70.713 and finished 16th, performing its debut show Lasso the Sun.
With their show, entitled Fire, Frontier improves nearly 10 points from its inaugural season, finishing 14th and posting a semifinals score of 80.288[19] while performing in less-than-ideal conditions in the rains of Hurricane Ernesto. In recent times, the only all-age corps to post a more significant improvement from one year to the next was the Bushwackers Drum and Bugle Corps, who improved 10.3 points from 2000 to 2001.
Frontier takes a step forward with the introduction of its new (and current) uniform. The corps makes its DCI debut at the Lake Highlands Festival of Drums & Bugles on July 19. The 2007 production, 1968, comprises music released in that year, including The Age of Aquarius from the musical Hair and Bridge Over Troubled Water (song), which has become the corps song.
The 2008 production, entitled There And Back Again, will take viewers on a musical journey, beginning with the modern classical piece Ride by Samuel Hazo and continuing with a lush arrangement of I'll Be Seeing You based on the version by New York Voices. Then the corps takes a jazzy turn with the classic Caravan, and finally returns Home to the strains of Michael Bublé's hit single of the same name.

We are from ohio and rode our motorcycles down to the Elkins area in October. We had a hard time finding a room. We didn't know anythnig about the Isaac Jackson Hotel(booked on line), we were pleasantly surprised. Rooms clean and beautiful.... We will most certainly stay there again.

We were in town for only one night for a basketball tournament. After the 3 hour drive to Elkins and an exciting game, I was exhausted! We checked into the Isaac Jackson. The front desk staff was very friendly and got us into our room right away. We entered our room and what a pleasant surprise. The room was spotless, the décor was that of a Hilton or Marriott and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in. There were also plenty of comfy pillows. The bathroom was very clean and had plenty of towels. The hair dryer was a small hotel dryer but wow, was it powerful! Most hotel dryers take forever to dry my hair.
The hotel was very quiet, even with an entire soccer team in the building. The following morning(I really did not want to get out of that bed……but) we walked down to the mail hotel for breakfast. Plenty of eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, and toast, it was not 5 star but it was good. The waitress in the dining area was very nice. We travel a lot and we try to support the local hotels when we can, I am so glad we stopped at this one. If I am ever back in Elkins I will definitely stay at the Isaac Jackson and I highly recommend everyone give it a try. Keep in mind a large part of the hotel is under construction so don’t expect a 5 star “look” just yet but give them a year and this place will be stunning! One last thing, what an amazing value. For the price I got way more than I expected. Thanks for the hospitality!

Central location next to college and across from hospital. Brand new, modern rooms in new building. Very clean and quiet. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The beds were extremely comfortable. Felt comparable to my tempurpedic at home. The bathroom was clean and the towels were nice and soft. I've stayed at the Hampton every time I've had to come to Elkins before, but from now on I'm staying here. Couldn't ask for anything more!

With Hampton Inn sold out we decided to book a room here. What a great surprise. Brand new room. Super comfy beds with lots of pillows and warm duvets. Spotless. Nice decor, quiet atmosphere. Very impressed. Will definitely be returning! Super easy check in. Very nice and informative staff. Hats off to the new owners. Your hard work and attention to detail is going to pay off!

New owners have done an impressive job here. I stayed in a newly renovated section of the hotel. They’ve tried to make everything a cut above the typical business traveler’s hotel. The beds are big and fluffy. The decorations are a notch or two nicer than what you’d expect. The shampoo and soap, for instance, are a cut above the standard-issue hotel room stuff. They even left a couple of chocolates for guests. I was surprised and grateful. The wifi worked great too. Highly recommended.
Ask boweiwen about Isaac Jackson Hotel
Thank boweiwen
Majority of my group stayed in the newly renovated section of the hotel on the top of the hill. Myself and a few others got stuck with the older section... and it is old. The thing that really bothered me was there were no Iron or Iron boards in the room. I went to the front desk to get one, and the girl 1 didn't know if I was supposed to have one in our rooms, 2 she didn't know where the spare iron/iron boards were located, when I noticed it right behind her the whole time. I just let her talk. She said she will see if she can find one and get back to me. She then came to me and told me their were none available, and I told her, well its an emergency, I must have an iron, and she finally showed up with an iron and iron board.
The room was old, not many outlets available. There was no wifi, I guess the best thing about it was that they had directv in all of their rooms... I enjoyed that.
If it was up to me, I wont be back.

Cedar Desk Lamp with Dimmer | Franksnotes
« AT&T has a Secret
Cedar Desk Lamp with Dimmer
Two years ago I began building ‘STUFF’ out of cedar. I found that I could buy an eight foot, rough cedar, 2X4 post at Home Depot for about $5.50.
Once I got the thing home I would cut it up on the table saw into 2 inch by one inch 8 foot sections. I trimmed off the rough sides, cut out any knots and imperfections, glued some of the pieces together to make 2X2 inch posts or six inch square sections 2 inches thick or any other size that came to mind.
I liked the way plain varnish darkened the cedar and brought out the beauty of the wood without need for stain.
I began building floor lamps and desk lamps. Each made from 100 percent cedar, even the shades. Those very thin trimmed rough sections ended up making perfectly good lamp shade material.
Recently I came into possession of a small table lamp that was a touch on, touch again to make brighter, touch a third time to make brightest, and touch again to turn off. It soon became one of my favorite lamps until recently the touch mechanism quit working. Touch it as you may it remains on bright. After I could not get the base appart, I gave up on this six dollar thrift shop item.
I retired it to temporary spare computer service. The shade attaches to its light bulb with a wire hoop. I turn the hoop clockwise, seating the bulb to turn it one. Turn it counterclockwise, unseating the bulb to turn it off. It never had a real on/off switch. Just the high tech touch on/bright/off function that quit working. Now it has a really low tech but effective way of turning it on and off. Very primitive but not as bad as unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Now I needed a replacement.
Several months ago we replaced eight 100watt ceiling mounted wall washer spots with compact flourescents.
The first thing we noticed was the new compact flourescents do not work well with incandescent dimmers. The dimmers were replaced with ordinary switches.
Not wishing to discard perfectly good incandescent dimmers, I decided to use one to invent an new desk lamp. One that had a dimmer feature.
I used my fostener bit assortment to hollow out the base of one of the desk lamps. Then I mounted the dimmer inside the hollowed out recess and glued it in with hot melt glue. Got it wired up and presto, a nice incandescent desk lamp with dimmer.
Works great and is a near perfect replacement for that touch lamp that failed.

CoffeeTalk: Evan Roth | HuffPost
06/28/2013 03:39 pm ET Updated Aug 28, 2013
CoffeeTalk: Evan Roth
I've always thought of technology as one of the tools in the tool chest when creating, and I'm admittedly not so tech savvy, so I rely on a great team to harness technology to elicit magical results. One of the artists that I've long marveled at whom always creates huge WOWS, Evan Roth, sees raw technology and the unseen inner-workings of computers and devices as his tool box for art making. He is "an artist who applies a hacker philosophy to an art practice that visualizes transient moments in public space, online and in popular culture." Algorithms that track real life movements, for example, become mixed media pieces. It's really a fantastic approach, and Evan was kind enough to chat with me about his amazing work. Check out the many projects below! I hope you'll be as blown away and inspired as I am.
David Stark: Tell me a little about your background. How did you get into doing what you do?
Evan Roth: I was into skateboarding and hip-hop when I was younger. I studied architecture at the University of Maryland in college (in part to secretly design buildings with skater friendly plazas). After graduating, I worked in the architectural field for 3 years, during which point I fell more in love with the Internet than I did with architecture. I ended up leaving my job and going to graduate school at Parsons in design and technology. While I was in NYC I got really into both graffiti and writing code and these two influences directed the course of my thesis project, which revolved around writing software to record and visualize graffiti tags. After graduation I received a two year fellowship at Eyebeam (an art and technology non-profit in Chelsea) where I was introduced to a lot of art / hacker types and the world of open source.

DS: Since your work spans a lot of different categories, among them art , teaching, video, activism, raising questions about freedom of speech and the web, public installations -- what do you call your artistic, professional output if someone says to you, "What do you do?"
ER: At this point I just consider myself an artist, but it took me a while to get comfortable with that label. I still have many influences and outlets for my work, but I feel that it is all part of a singular art practice.
DS: To me it is all awe-inspiring stuff! Tell us a little bit about your process. Where do ideas come from? Where do you find inspiration? Do you make drawings? Models? Experiments? Write? You're clearly open to working in any medium that conveys your ideas, but am I correct in saying that the idea seems to be the driving force. How important is materiality to you? Object making?
ER: Ideas come from a lot of places. As the Internet increasingly becomes a larger part of normal daily life, I find ideas more and more often coming through the browser. I rarely sketch on paper; I'm much more likely to make rough sketches in Photoshop. I will write about project ideas when I need to communicate them clearly to others in order to produce them, but this is rarely part of my creative process. I keep a separate email account that I send ideas to when I have them. From time to time, I will open this account and read through various ideas and make the ones that seem the most exciting. Materiality isn't a driving force, but it is something that has been more interesting to me lately. Because of the rather transient nature of the Internet and public space, I'm enjoying making work that can archive these mediums and exist on a longer timeline.
Video and mixed media
DS: A lot of your work interacts with the general public in spaces that they would not have expected to have to interact and think. Have you encountered any resistance from the public or legally from any of your works?
ER: I've experienced less legal resistance than you might think. Honestly, the risks I take in my work pale in comparison to the risks that, for example, graffiti writers make on a daily basis. Both online and in the city, I think you can get away with a lot more than people typically tend to think.
Initiated in 2007 (on going)
DS: Well you do it well! When did you move to Paris and why? How does living in Europe inform your creative output? Do you see a difference between working and living in Europe vs. the States?
ER: Whether I'm living in New York, Hong Kong or Paris, the majority of my creative influences still come through the browser. For me Paris is where I live, it's where I have a studio and it's where I make work. There are perhaps a larger number of influential artists in New York or Berlin, but for me Paris is a good mix of activity and quality of life, but not to the point of distraction. I find that I am able to keep my head down and focus on my work instead of on a lot of the other distractions that come along with an art practice.
This video documents Evan's Free Speech installation in Vienna, a tool for citizen discourse that combines the privacy of a personal phone call with the art of public speaking.
DS: Agreed, Paris is one of my favorite cities too! If money, time, and the law were not an issue, what would your dream project be?
ER: It's difficult to answer, because money, time and the law are all very interesting design constraints that inform a lot of the work that I make. I suppose that if these constraints were all miraculously lifted for me I would spend my time trying to figure out how to lift them for everyone else.
2009 (ongoing)
DS: I like that, a true activist at heart! What artists inspire you? Whose work do you admire?
ER: Edward Tufte, Jay-Z, Andy Warhol, Linus Torvalds, Notorious B.I.G, Banksy, Cory Arcangel, Constant Dullaart, Jonah Peretti, Brad Downey, Aram Bartholl, JODI.
Graffiti Analysis, Vienna 2010 is the first in a series of physical sculptures made from motion tracked graffiti data. Time is extruded in the Z dimension and pen speed is represented by the thickness of the model at any given point. Graffiti Analysis, Vienna 2010 was made in collaboration with an anonymous local Viennese graffiti writer.
ER: In the short term I'm working on a new series of portraits of various people created exclusively from images found in their Internet Cache directory. On an individual scale this series is about creating an impression of someone based on their Internet browsing habits. On a larger scale, however, this series is about creating a portrait of the Internet in general, at a specific point in time. I'm also gearing up for my first solo show in Paris (at XPO gallery) which I'm really looking forward to. This will be the first time I've put on a solo exhibition in the city in which I live.

Le 14 mai 1974, votre collaborateur m’avait demandé l’autorisation de publier ce texte. Il écrivait en propres termes : « (Je) vous demande si vous n’avez pas d’objection à formuler contre sa publication éventuelle . » Je lui répondais, par lettre R.A.R. du 21 mai, que je m’opposais à cette publication d’une lettre personnelle. Or, le 11 août, précisément en pleine campagne de presse, je voyais paraître ce texte, sous la responsabilité de M. Viansson-Ponté. J’y étais, sous la plume de Mme Delbo traité de « pauvre dément », de professeur qui s’est documenté uniquement pour avoir « des preuves contre la vérité », d’« esprit perverti » ; quant au titre de ce « témoignage », il me faisait tout simplement grief de « falsifier ». N’importe quel honnête homme trouvera, je pense, de tels procédés indignes d’un grand journal. J’y vois, pour ma part, une bassesse comme je n’en découvre pas dans les autres publications qui m’ont attaqué. Et c’est le Monde qui a eu cette conduite. Je ne l’admettrai jamais. Et, bien franchement, je ne crois pas que vous soyez prêts, tous deux, à lui trouver des excuses. Votre journal me doit réparation. Voilà trois ans que je la réclame. J’ai été correct avec vous. Je ne me suis laissé aller à aucun écart de langage. Rendez-moi cette justice que ma réponse de 1974 (sur « le droit au doute et à la recherche ») ainsi que ma réponse de 1977 (sur « le problème des chambres à gaz ») sont d’un tout autre ton que la publication injurieuse, insérée dans votre journal, après des mois de réflexion peut-être, par M. Viansson-Ponté.
Recevez, Messieurs, je vous prie, l’expression de ma confiance en votre discernement et en votre courage. [Publié dans Vérité historique ou vérité politique ?, Paris, La Vieille Taupe, 1980, p. 79-81.]

Remarque : Le journaliste dit vrai, en substance. L’historien minimise les souffrances de certains déportés dans certains camps. Il n’a retenu que des témoignages qui allaient dans son sens. Il a voulu démontrer qu’on s’était rendu coupable de colossales exagérations, dans la description de la vie des camps. Tenant compte de ce qui lui apparaissait comme trente ans d’une propagande d’horreurs, il a rappelé certains points des déclarations de Margaret Buber (-Neumann), de Charlotte Bormann (p. 25b), du Dr Barton (p. 29a-b) et de « centaines de déclarations sous serment faites pour les procès de Nuremberg » mais non mises en évidence (p. 28b). A propos de Bergen-Belsen (la plupart des photos d’horreur concernent ce camp partiellement hôpital), il parle de « chaos » à la fin de la guerre (p. 28b). Alinéa 8 (bis). Le journaliste dit que, pour R. E. H., aucun camp de concentration « n’a jamais comporté de "chambres à gaz", ni de véritables fours crématoires ».

exception, on the use of Zyklon B to kill human beings.
comes from the archives of the Nuremberg trials. It was registered by the
Americans at a late date: August 21, 1947, in the “NI” category (Nuremberg,
Industrialists). It was taken from the archives of the Degesch company and
listed under four headings, among which that of “Atrocities” (sic). I reproduce it below in near facsimile with a few slight corrections.
original, in the form of four large pages to be posted on walls, was a notice
that must have been distributed in a great many copies; the specimen translated
here was issued by the Prague Health Authority, doubtless in the midst of the
war (German text here). The contents show that its purpose was to convey instructions for the use
of Zyklon (prussic or hydrocyanic acid) to destroy vermin in buildings which
could be either civil or military (apartment blocks, barracks, etc.). The
document fittingly reminds us of a truth learnt from experience: of all deadly
weapons, gas will probably long remain the most unwieldy; when it kills, it
kills so well that it can be fatal to the killer who decides to use it. If it
is quite easy to kill with prussic acid, it is also quite difficult to kill anyone
nearby without running terrible risks oneself.
document describes the properties of Zyklon, its risk of explosion, its toxicity.
Only persons possessing a certificate obtained after special training may use
the product. A gassing’s planning and preparations call for measures and tasks requiring
several hours, possibly days. Then comes the operation itself. Among many
details we note here that Zyklon is not to be poured out into a pile or through
the air. To produce the desired effect it must be spread thinly on paper mats;
none of it is to be lost anywhere: all will be recovered in due course. It will
take from six to thirty-two hours to kill the pests (sixteen hours on average).
Then will come the most critical moment, that of aeration. The text says: “Aeration
presents the greatest danger for both participants and non-participants. It is
therefore necessary to proceed with particular caution, and always wearing a
gasmask.” This aeration will have to last “at least twenty hours”. Sentries,
during all that time and even afterwards, must remain near the building. To
make sure that no gas remains, the specialists, again in gasmasks, enter the
premises with a strip of paper that will indicate the presence of any residual
gas. Twenty hours previously, the simple opening of doors and windows, as well as
easy tasks of moving “planking and sealing items” (an effort amounting to
nothing compared with the dragging away of hundreds or even thousands of corpses)
had presented a certain danger – that inherent in a possible acceleration of
the breathing – since, after the aeration of each floor, the team had had to go
outside, remove their masks and breathe fresh air for at least ten minutes. All
the rest is in a similar vein and I leave it to the reader to discover in each
line of this document how absurd by comparison the stories of our false
witnesses are. [R. Faurisson's note]

Crimes. DIRECTIVES FOR THE USE OF PRUSSIC ACID (ZYKLON)
1. Properties of prussic acid. (hydrocyanic acid) Prussic
acid is a gas which is generated by evaporation.
Boiling point: 26 degree Centigrade. Freezing
point: - 15 degrees Cent. Specific
gravity: 0.69
Steam density: 0.97. (Air: 1.0) The liquid
evaporates easily. Liquid: transparent, colourless. Smell: peculiar, repulsively sweet. Extraordinarily
great penetrative powers. Prussic acid is
soluble in water. Danger of explosion. 75 g prussic acid 1 cbm air. (Normal
application approx. 8-10 g per cbm,
therefore not explosive). Prussic acid may not be brought into contact with an open flame, glowing wires etc., because
then it burns up slowly
and loses all its effectiveness. (carbonic
acid, water and
nitrogen are formed). Toxic effects on warm-blooded
animals. Since prussic acid has practically no
indicative irritant
effect it is highly toxic and very
dangerous. Prussic acid
is one of the most powerful poisons. 1
mg per kg of body
weight is sufficient to kill a human
being. Women and
children are generally more susceptible
than men. Very
amounts of prussic acid do not harm the

Toxic effects on insects. The effects of prussic acid on insects
is, it is also effective in low temperatures (even at
degrees Cent.) The eggs of many insects, particularly of
and lice, are more susceptible than the full-grown
The degree of toxicity depends on the type
the plants. Plants with thick leaves are less susceptible
those with thin ones. Mildew and dry-rot are not
by prussic acid. Prussic acid does not destroy bacteria.
Method of using prussic acid.
is the absorption of a mixture of prussic acid and an
by a carrier. Wood fibre discs, a reddish brown
mass (Diagriess - Dia gravel) or small blue cubes
are used as carriers.
Apart from serving its purpose as
indicator, this
also has the advantage of stimulating the respiration
insects. Prussic acid and the irritant are generated through
simple evaporation. Zyklon will keep for 3 months. Use
damaged cans first. The contents of a can must all be
up at once. Liquid prussic acid damages polish, lacquer,
etc. Gaseous prussic acid is harmless, The toxicity

and others. Therefore it must be carried out particularly carefully and a gas
mask should always be
worn. The airing should place according
to the following principles: pure air should always be within reach in the
shortest possible time and the gas should flow out to that
side where it cannot endanger people who
are not participating. Should the airing be difficult one trained man should
remain in front of the building in order to watch how the gas is blowing away.
1. Take care to see that no strangers
remain in the vicinity of the building.
2. Post the guards in such a way that
they are not annoyed
by the gas as it blows out, but can
still watch the entrances to the building.
4. Enter building. Close door, but do

6. Doors leading to the corridor,
between rooms and windows must be opened
in each room. Should there be difficulty in opening
any of the windows
they should only be opened after most of
the gas has blown away.
7. Partitions and other methods used to seal the room which cannot be replaced quickly should only be removed after most of the gas has blown away. 8. Care should be taken to see that the heating system and water pipes do not freeze should there be frost or danger of it. 9. Rooms with valuable contents,
such as clothing stores

the windows have been opened. 10. Windows and doors which have
been opened should be fastened in such a way that they cannot slam. 11. Covers in chimneys may be
removed after the provisional release [sic, for clearance] of the
building. 12. The airing should continue
for at least 20 hours
13. The guard should remain near
the building during the whole of this time. XII. Provisional release. A fumigated room may be released
provisionally as soon as the paper strip of the gas
detector is of a lighter
blue than the centre colour pattern,
when the doors and
windows are open. Only work concerned
with airing and
clearing up may be done in the rooms
provisionally released. Under no
circumstances may anyone
rest or sleep in these rooms. The doors
and windows must be left open
all the time. XIII. Clearing up after provisional release. 1. Remove remains of Zyklon from the fumigated rooms. They should generally be sent back to the factory in the
same way as cans and boxes. Before boxes are sent
back from the fumigated rooms the inscription “Poison” must be removed from them. Damp, wet
or soiled remains as well as
may be thrown on a rubbish or slag heap, but may never
emptied into drains. 2. Mattresses, straw palliasses, pillows:
and similar items must be shaken or beaten for at least
one hour in the open air (if rainy at least 2 hours
the hall) under the supervision of the fumigation chief [omitted: or his deputy].
If possible the stuffing of straw palliasses should be changed.
The old stuffing may not however be burnt, but
be re-used after it has been aired for a further period.
Should the chimneys have been covered from above, these
coverings must be removed carefully since otherwise there
is a danger that the fires in the stoves and hearths will
not have sufficient draught, which may cause carbon monoxide
After the final release has been made, two copies of a fumigation
report are to be filled in in the prescribed
The following points in particular should be shown:
Time at which dis-infested rooms were released.
Under no circumstances less than 21 hours after airing
All items removed for beating are to be taken back into
In rooms with heating facilities a temperature of at
15 deg. Cent. must be produced.
5. Gas detecting. The paper strip may not show a
blue than
the lightest colour even between blankets and
mattresses which have been placed on top of each other, or in rooms
which are not easily accessible and which it
difficult to air. Should this not be the case, airing
continued and the check for gas repeated after a
few hours. 6. The check for gas must be made in each room
again to be used as sleeping accommodation as
possible. Under no circumstances may anyone
sleep in a room
which has been fumigated in the night following
fumigation. The windows must always remain open during
night that the room is used again. 7. The fumigation chief or his deputy may not leave
until the very last room has been finally released.
