Monthly Fragebogen: The Landvolk Movement
Bombs, barns, and bailiffs – nationalist writer Ernst von Salomon's experiences in the revolutionary peasants' movement, the Landvolk
Last month's excerpt from the autobiographical novel Der Fragebogen dealt in part with the conversion of Ernst von Salomon's brother, Bruno von Salomon, to Marxism. Bruno, like Ernst, was a nationalist – specifically an adherent to the 'new nationalism' prominent after the First World War. Bruno, before he became a Marxist, passed through the 'Landvolk' movement – as did Ernst, although the conclusions each reached from their experiences were different. The Landvolk movement (Landvolkbewegung, in English the 'Rural Peoples' Movement') was a socio-political phenomenon beginning in the late 1920s in which the peasants of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's northenmost province, rebelled against the authority of the Weimar state. Incensed by Germany's terrible financial situation, by high tax rates, by a lack of protectionism, by what they felt were unfair property seizures over tax and loan debts, by a lack of effective political representation, the province's peasants began to fight back. Organizing as a class, the Landvolk were not an organized party; they had a flag (black, with a red sword and white plough) and leaders (Claus Heim and Wilhelm Hamkens), but both were informal, and there was no real hierarchy, no real organizational structure. Motivated by a shared pro-völkisch, anti-capitalist, anti-system worldview, this grass-roots movement began a series of vigorous protests against Weimar officials – protests which became more wild and more raucous over time until, inevitably, they devolved into outright terrorism. Naturally, all this activity attracted political radicals, which is how Bruno and Ernst von Salomon ended up in the region, along with countless other nationalists, communists, fascists, and National Socialists looking to turn words into action and fight directly against the hated Weimar state by helping the peasants in their struggle. Ernst von Salomon's recollections of his and his brother's involvement in the Landvolk movement from Der Fragebogen, reproduced below, provide a rather wry, first-hand recollection of an often-overlooked segment of Weimar radicalism. From these one can see the real-life inspiration for many of the events in von Salomon's Landvolk-themed novel Die Stadt (published in English as It Cannot Be Stormed), which along with Hans Fallada's A Small Circus (Bauern, Bonzen, und Bomben) is one of the best literary accounts of the Schleswig-Holstein peasants' struggle.
I had neither seen nor heard from my brother Bruno for many years. He had as good as vanished. Our last quarrel had been shortly after the Kapp Putsch. He approved of putsches, but not of Kapp, whereas I thought that in those troubled times any man who wished was entitled to make his own putsch. My brother, who knew nothing save, as he put it, how to lead a company in close formation through a sewage farm, was making diverse efforts to lead an honourable, civil life; the question of loss of social rank worried him not in the slightest, and for a long time he lived in Hamburg as a workman in a woolcarding factory – until he at last realised that he would have more chance of changing the world than of altering himself. He recalled that no German can ever really go down so long as he continues to make use of the knowledge acquired at his elementary school. And so he succeeded in persuading the owner of a small printing press in Blankensee, who published a feeble and patriotic weekly paper, that under his editorship the subscriptions would be doubled. The periodical was called Die Deutsche Front, neither more nor less.
It did not occur to my brother that he might change his periodical's name. It corresponded to a deeply felt need. This was a period when suddenly and everywhere men remembered that they too had served in the war. Feelings of personal dignity had long lain fallow, overwhelmed in the wreckage of the collapse; later each individual had been fully occupied in trying to hack a path through the ruins of civilian existence. But obviously during the din of battle every soldier had dreamed of a beautiful world such as could never come true. And obviously, too, when compared with the emotions of war-time those of peace seemed relatively ineffectual. Any ex-soldier was bound to feel that life had been filled with a starker intensity during the few seconds which decided whether or not a salient could be held than during those Homeric struggles for large, medium, or small coalitions which constantly placed the same small band of worthies on page one of the morning papers. So it is hardly surprising that as soon as this generation had recovered from its physical and psychological exhaustion a positive torrent of war books began to appear, books in which the authors attempted to put down on paper what had once been such very real experiences. It made no difference whether the war was seen from a positive or a negative attitude: the common experience was affirmed in all its power: and many a man who had previously maintained that his military service had been nothing but one long, atrocious martyrdom, now began to assert that he too had always been a good soldier – or alternatively to boast that he at least had had the guts to stand up to a bully of a sergeant-major.

A song by song history of Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven

#59 Stairway to Heavan (sic)- In Praise of Half Baked Ideas and Unfinished things. The importance of not being earnest.
Posted in Camper Van Beethoven with tags cattle(reversed), circles., dustpan, five sticks, interlude, pope festival, stairway to heavan (sic), surprise truck, the fool, tom flowers 1500 valves, turtlehead, we're all wasted and we're wasting all your time, zz top goes to egypt on October 4, 2010 by Dr. David C Lowery
"C amper Van Beethoven" II and III. I think the C fell off the paste up board and was incorrectly lined up again. Camper Van Beethoven placed the Star of David on the album for no other reason than to confuse people. The symbol has such heavy meaning while this record was purposely devoid of any coherent meaning, messages or interpretation. On Subsequent pressings the star was removed after we were hammered by Rough Trade about the symbol. They were worried that the obliqueness of our songs and the record would eventually lead to terrible mis-interpretations of our intent. Some sort of radical zionist or anti-semitic interpretation of one our songs. who knows.
Part of the charm of camper van beethovens earliest records that they sometimes contained half baked ideas, studio experiments and things that were really only partially finished.
Some might disagree. But when I look back on these records I think that it was cool we had the self confidence to not take things so seriously. Most young artists tweeze their records to death. Over polish and over arrange each song. They remove every little imperfection. They constantly fret how each song will be perceived. We did none of this. As noted above we put one of the most meaningful symbols of the 20th century on the cover of II and III for no apparent meaning.
In 1985 and 1986 underground rock music was a very serious business to most of our friends and peers. Lyrics were serious. The music was serious. Everything was very important and burdened with meaning. We were very aware of this.
I noted this in earlier posts that Camper Van Beethoven was purposely messing with that notion right from the start. From the choice of the band name, to the non-sensical "Take the skinheads bowling". We felt it our mission to be seriously unearnest.
But part the way through the second album and especially on the third album we started doing this in a different way. We started including weird sonic experiments and including them in the record. Half finished songs. We included these also. They weren't bullshit filler, but neither were they 100% serious endeavors. Some were accidents.Like putting the tape on the reel upside down. so the wrong tracks played and were backwards.
We came to believe that if we tried too hard to arrange these accidents and turn them into a real song we would ruin the original flawed yet briefly beautiful idea.
Others were songs we felt just weren't enough of an idea to be a real song of proper length and scope. So instead of struggling to make them a second rate "song" with lyrics and a standard verse chorus verse chourus bridge chorus outro structure, we let them be as they were.
We WERE earnest about some things. We had the earnest belief that we were creating a sort of demi-song, an overlooked and under appreciated form of music.
04 Turtlehead
The first entry is a Chris Molla penned ditty. A "small idea" I remember him terming it. A small spinning tension. Release in the repeated abrupt stops. An explosive atonal bridge. Then release in the repeated abrupt stops. No words. The title ? I have no idea.
12 Circles
Circles was created by listening to the song the song Oh No backwards. We learned the structure and kind of played along with it. In the A and C sections. We added a few incidental melodies with guitar and keyboard but nothing that could be considered a focal point an actual melodic theme that ties the song together. The only part of the song that makes an effort at being a real song is the B section where we let the words to chorus play backwards.
13 We're All Wasted and We're Wasting All Your Time
This was also done at about the same time as circles. This is jonathan and victor singing along to Take The Skinheads Bowling backwards. I thin anthony guess or chris molla is also drumming along with it. It's got a sort of reggae rock steady feel. weird. But again. Its just a thrown away chorus. Perfectly joyful and mischievous.
13 Dustpan
This hard driving collection of guitar chords changes and arpeggios would have been used by most bands for the basis for a song with lyrics. Even CVB in a more traditional mood would have tied it all together with an instrumental melody line. Neither of these happened. It was left this way.
17 Cattle (reversed)
Another song that contains what would normally be a good set of riffs, an A and B section that should have made a good basis for a psychedelic blues song that an early led zeppelin or fleetwood mac might have played. There should have been some robert plant hobbit rock lyrics over the top of this. but no we were content with the "response" lines of the guitars. The fact the "call" vocal lines are missing qualify this as a demi- song. Arguing against that is the strange interlocked guitar parts in the B section. They are of two different lengths so they phase against each other. This is more interesting and makes this part of the song a more full fledged instrumental. The title of this song came from a randomly drawn celtic rune. (kind of like tarot cards) we went through a period of naming songs in this manner. Abundance (tarot card) The fool (tarot card).
16 Zztop Goes to Egypt
This song really doesn't belong in this category. The only reason i put it in this category is that it doesn't have two traditional elements of a fully fledged CVB song. A repeated consistent melody or lyrics. The main feature of the song is jonathans multiple tracks of modal violin noodlings. The song slowly builds in intensity. After the crescendo it pedals and slowly decays. That is the arc of the song. Building tension a climax and decay. It is however the most successful of our melody less psychedelic demi-songs. People always shout out for it at shows.
03 Five Sticks
This is pretty much ambiguity song backwards. Or parts of it. It was the result of putting the reel of tape on the machine upside down. We made a stereo mix of it and then figured out how to play along with it. It has a strange beauty. Like an ancient text in a lost language. Untranslatable. I assume we called it 5 sticks to continue the reference to Led Zeppelin's fourth effort. The Led Zeppelin album features a track called 4 sticks. get it? I mentioned in an earlier post we always considered this album our 4th album. The second album was both the second and third album hence the curious title II and III. It was recorded in two different sessions.
Also while on the subject. We toyed with using symbols as the album title. Just like Led Zeppelin. However we did not. What we did do was give the album a title that no one could find. Unless you were looking very closely. The album does have a title. The title is "Soviet Spies Swim Upstream Disguised as Trout" It's right there in the liner notes. And on etched in the inner groove of the first run of vinyl. We titled it this way because we had an obsessive fan that would write us nearly everyday. In one of the letters she (?) said she dreamed the next Camper Van Beethoven album was titled "Soviet Spies Swim Upstream Disguised as Trout". et voila.
07 Surprise Truck
This was simply a damn good riff that didn't want to have a B section or anything other musical variatiion attached to it. Relentless with just some off the cuff bullshit lyrics about "the surprise truck". (the "surprise truck" was the apparently the literal translation of hezbollahs code term for their then novel suicide bomb trucks).
08 Stairway To Heaven (sic)
So Led Zeppelin's 4th and untitled obliquely titled record contained Stairway to Heaven. Well we decided we needed a track of approximately the same name. Of course we changed the spelling and added "sic" (Spelling incorrect). Largely because we had all just read Hammer of the Gods and we're pretty sure Peter Grant or some english thug who worked for Led Zep would show up and break our legs. This track is the most accidental. It starts with a live recording of CVB playing an after hours illegal show in The Icehouse in Fayetteville Arkansas. It was a very early very slow version of the song processional. Someone is playing a weird toy piano or something. It then goes into a Mao Reminisces about his Days in Southern China. With extra instruments dubbed in forward. Most notably a distorted slide and a dumbek. But the great accident is when the previous song on the real comes in. It's Folly for two. It's backwards cause we were always flipping the tape upside down to do these manipulations. We didn't intend for that last bit to be on the recording but it did.
09 Pope Festival
Another interesting case is this song. It doesn't really count as a demi-song. but there is something cool about the unfinished non-words and dense repetitive arrangement. Later when it went onto Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart album, it got "produced" it has a better arrangement and structure but becomes quite inconsequential. It was also retitled "The Fool".
12 The Fool
10 Interlude
And then all those demi-songs disappear once we start making our albums for Virgin Records. With one notable exception the track "Interlude" from Key Lime Pie. This is simply Garth Hudson – yes that Garth Hudson from the Band- warming up on his pump organ as the microphones and such are being placed and adjusted.
Later when the band reforms these demi songs these sonic experiments come back into play. Camper Van Beethoven is Dead Long Live Camper Van Beethoven is largely made out of these pieces of music. Tom Flower's 1500 valves being the most notable piece. The drums are from a reel of drumbeats that Chris pedersen sent to us. The strings are a chopped up bit of Dixie Babylon strings. Jonathan and victor played along to this loop. I'd just watched a show on the Bletchley Park. This was Britain's brilliant codebreaking enterprise in WWII. Thomas Flowers was the unsung hero. He built one of the first working computers if not the very first. It used 1500 valves or tubes. We made up the song in a few hours. Jonathan tagged on a very discouraging message to him from PJ Harvey, rejecting his suggestion she sing on his solo album.
03 Tom Flower's 1500 Valves
finally I hate this part of Texas and Come out to show them are similar type songs from New Roman Times. But we already went into great detail about both of these.
Tom Flowers 1500 valves
Contains recording of a phone message where PJ Harvey rejects music from a tape sent to her by Jonathan Segel.
Further info from David Lowery:
"Thomas Flowers was the British postal service engineer who with Alan Turing built the first (years before the americans) electronic computer (Colossus?), allegedly powered by 1500 valves.   I watched a BBC documentary on Bletchley Park some years ago, and i believe these are more or less the historical facts, of course its all a little foggy to me now.
Bletchley Park (sic?): the site of english and allied efforts to break german ciphers in W.W.II.
Cipher Girls: the corps of young women who were hired to work by hand all the possible permutations once a code was partially broken.
Monty: Montgomery.
Ultra: the Cipher Girls slang for decoded german communications
Valve: English term for Vacuum tube.
Tunnyfish: nickname for the german u-boat cipher, apparently the most
difficult to break."

#38 Circles-Camper Van Beethoven. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Posted in Camper Van Beethoven with tags circles., cowboys from hollywood, zz top goes to egypt. intersteller overdrive on August 25, 2010 by Dr. David C Lowery
As long as I lived in the Inland empire I had never been to Vegas. Not until 1985, That was the first time Camper Van Beethoven went to Las Vegas. Very Briefly. We played at a Record store I remember the guy who owned it. Wayne Wheeler. I can't remember the name of the store, I think it was the Record Exchange. But they had a giant mural of the first album on the wall. We played for free, got burgers and hotdogs and lots of beer. It went really well and we decided we should come back to Vegas. In fact we got sort of fascinated by Vegas. But we had to got to albuquerque so we split.
In early 1986 we got a real gig in Vegas. So there weren't a lot of choices for places to play. I don't remember if Wayne found the gig for us, but somehow we ended up playing in a place that was a little odd. I mean it was in some industrial park. And we were opening for a band called The Joneses which featured LA Guns frontman Paul Black on drums! I just looked this up and was surprised by this myself. It was probably more of a metal club. I remember the owner was walking around wearing a sidearm in a holster.
<important update from greg in next paragraph>
So we all took acid. I mean everybody, the whole band, my girlfriend jennifer, our sound guy andrew, our friends john stein and edie. We played some fairly psychedelic stuff for a somewhat mystified crowd. I'm thinking it was stuff like Circles and Interestellar OD and ZZ Top Goes To Egypt. Greg couldn't get his amp to work. But we had a very short time to play, so we just kept playing. Greg was trying everything. Finally he found the drummer in the very first band. I'm not making this up-The drummer had no legs but was totally eager to help greg. He went to his van and came back in his wheelchair with an amp on his lap. By the time he got his borrowed amp plugged in and working the sound man shut us down. I mean like shut the whole PA off mid song and killed the power to the amps.
15 Intersteller Overdrive
02 Cowboys From Hollywood
Jennifer had wandered outside into the parking lot. When i found her she was barefoot and kicking around a giant spring. Like a suspension spring for a heavy duty truck or some other piece of equipment.
"I love this spring. I love the sound it makes"
Oddly I knew exactly what she was talking about. I took turns rolling the spring around with my foot.
"No, no no! you have to take your shoes off. It's better that way"
About then Andrew or Jonathan told me we had to come in and settle the show. Which means get paid. This was a problem all 3 of us were very high at this point. We went into the office anyway. The owner wearing the sidearm was very nice, but kind of odd. One of us just tried to accept the money and walk out.
"No i want you to count it. I don't want you coming back and saying I cheated you".
"We trust you"
"No count it"
Do you know how hard it is to count 500 dollars in 5's and 1's when you are high on acid. Especially when there are three of you trying to count the damn money.
Eventually we got out of there without a pistol whipping. We went out to the van. I climbed way in the back with Jennifer. She still had the Spring. She was holding it like a kitten, or baby. I know i'm really making Jennifer sound insane. She wasn't and is extremely smart. But she was pretty quirky.
We were still out back in the van when some kids approached us. They were CVB fans. They started talking to us and after a while asked us: Hey you guys are really high aren't you? We replied. "wow how can you tell!"
They told us that they needed to be our guides, cause vegas is an evil place. so what did we want to do? Jonathan said he wanted to go to Circus Circus.
WE DROVE TO CIRCUS CIRCUS! WOW! who drove? Jonathan says he did. WOW! We wandered around Circus Circus for a while. Casinos are weird anyway. To walk around in one when you are tripping is a whole other experience. It felt like that underworld experience I had in Victoria BC. ( Brides of Neptune #31) It' best if I let Jonathan tell the story:
as we entered the circus circus, i saw many old people who appeared to be biologically attached to slot machines, they looked like they were vomiting forth coins that went through the machines with all the little tunes the machines played and then dripped out like chyme into a stomach-trough below, drip drip drip, where they were ingested again by the ancient cyborg to be vomited through the machine again. frightening.
we came upon a band playing, they had nice expensive new instruments that we were impressed by, but then after finishing "china grove" they proceed to humorously insult one another as their schtick ("that's Jose, our utility musician, he's the spic in the group") and then said they'd be back in 20 minutes for their 5th set of the evening. I looked across the audience area and saw Victor and we silently made eye contact and an unspoken pact to never become that.
After a while some plain clothes security types came up to us. They didn't like that Jennifer was carrying around this 25 pound spring. Or they just didn't like our looks at all. But mostly i think it was the spring.
Eventually we all managed to get back in the van. Not before Jennifer kicked her spring around for a little while longer in the parking lot at Circus Circus. John Stein began driving. We had to play the next night at Berkeley Square in Berkeley. John decided we should just drive overnight.
About 5:30 AM I woke up. We were stopped alongside the road. Highway 58 somewhere a few miles short of the Mojave. It was cold and raining. John Stein informed us the Alternator was dead and he was trying to make it to Mojave. We came up a few miles short. He put on a coat and started walking up the road. Jennifer woke and got out of the van. She kicked her spring around for a while, but it wasn't the same when she wasn't tripping.
John Stein did a couple tours with us as our driver. He was like MacGyver. He walked up the road to a junkyard. Stripped an alternator out of a truck, hitchhiked back and installed it in our van. This whole process took about 3 hours.
Greg lisher did not wake up the entire time. However somehow he lost a shoe. I guess he took them off before he went to sleep, and with all the getting in and out of the van it ended up along the side of the road. I am assuming. When we got to Berkeley Square to play Greg discovered he really really really had lost his shoe. It was not in the van anywhere. He'd been looking for it fitfully the last couple hours of the drive. "What are you gonna do Greg?" we all asked.
He played the show with only one shoe on.
post script: greg says he didn't play with only one shoe. he went across the street to the pharmacy and bought some slippers. Still for a man who cares about footwear this was quite embarrassing.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1985. There was a severe stylist shortage in Santa Cruz at the time. The Govenor rushed stylists to Santa Cruz from Los Angeles but it was too late for Camper Van Beethoven.
Circles is based on the song the CVB song Oh No. We are playing along to the original recording backwards. We were kind of making fun of the LA Neo Psychedelic Movement. ie The Three O'Clock, Rain Parade, The Long Ryders. AT THE TIME we didn't relate to these bands, as we thought they were more about the look than the music. We didn't find their music psychedelic at all. But you got to understand we had Ray Farrell and Bruce Licher feeding us Kaliedscope and West Coast Experimental Pop Art Ensemble compilation cassettes. Of course they wouldn't compare. Much later I developed an appreciation for all these bands. I mean it was LA. They had to have a look! And look how crappy we were dressed. A little too much authenticity.
Cowboys from Hollywood is also about the related cowpunk/country rock scene that was going on in LA at the same time. They overlapped somewhat. I mean cowboy hats crept into the neo-psychedelic scene via flying burrito brother/ the byrds. cowpunk? well they came equipped with cowboy hats. We played with Rain Parade and several other bands in downtown LA in late 1985. We were driving our friend from Wyomings 350 diesel 4×4 pickup. One of the guys (who may or may not have been in rain parade, but there was a psychedelic western theme to his clothing) asked us: Are you guys really from wyoming. Jonathan was chewing tobacco as usual. "Yep" spitting a stream of tobacco juice to the ground. Me being the smartass said " are you cowboys from hollywood?" or something to that effect. it's just kind of stoner humor to sing a song with nothing but that as the words.
ZZ Top Goes To Egypt is called that because it sounds like that. it's purely a descriptive title. However later we learned of Billy Gibbons was an amateur Egyptologist.
Intersteller Overdrive is based on the Pink Floyd Song of the same name. It will get it's own post as it involves Eugene Chadbourne.

A subcontractor signed an agreement with a general contractor in connection construction of a commercial building for a national retailer. The subcontractor's portion of the work consisted of installing most of the equipment in the building. The agreement provided the subcontractor would be paid only if the general contractor was paid – a "paid-when-paid" clause. Applicable law in the state in which the project was performed required contractors to notify property owners in writing before beginning work that the contractor may file a mechanic's lien on the property if the contractor was not paid all amounts when due. If the contractor failed to provide the notice, it waived its right to file a lien. While subcontractor management debated whether to send the necessary notice to the owner out of concern that it might upset the owner, the subcontractor's workers in the filed started work. The owner accepted the subcontractor's portion of thQe work, but did not pay the general contractor the full amount due under the general contractor agreement due to other problems with the project.
A mechanic's lien is a type of construction lien that creates security interest in the title to real property. Its purpose is to help ensure that a contractor who improves the value of the property receives payment for its work. The liens are statutory devices that exist in every state and the laws vary by state. Each state's statute requires specific, critical steps that must be met, or the mechanic's lien may not be enforceable. Requirements include precise identification of the owner and property, the work to be performed and the amount due. There are also time-limited notice requirements that are strictly enforced. Although the subcontractor had a genuine concern about developing and maintaining a good relationship with the owner, construction lien rights have a long history and have become a standard part of doing business in the construction industry. In this instance, the subcontractor later learned that it was the only subcontractor not to file a mechanic's lien.
The subcontractor received only partial payment for its work and payment was significantly delayed despite fully performing the contract and improving the value of the owner's property. The subcontractor had no right to pursue the general contactor because of the contract's paid-when-paid clause. Because the subcontractor had not filed a mechanic's lien, it also could not seek payment from the owner.
Although developing good relationships with customers is important for business success, a contractor must carefully consider the both the benefits and potential risk. Paid-when-paid clauses (and similar, "to the extent paid" clauses) create risks over which a contractor may have no control. Foregoing statutory remedies due to customer relationship or other concerns may not be consistent with industry practice. Talking with an experienced attorney who can appreciate both the business and legal aspects of an act (or failure to act) and provide insight on industry practices can help you to make a sound decision and complete the necessary steps to protect your interests and bottom line.

Churchill House Insurance – If you take out buildings insurance, be certain it is based on the purchase price of rebuilding your house, as opposed to the industry value of your property (the rebuild price is most likely going to be a great deal less than the business worth ). Mortgage buildings insurance is typically a requirement of the lender should you possess a mortgage. Occasionally your insurer might want to cancel your policy. Most insurers will offer you a refund when you haven't created any claims during the policy however, you will frequently have to pay management fees.
You may always return and purchase the insurance should you decide it's good for you but it's best to shop around first. Home insurance is rather a competitive market place which might only be useful for us consumers. Home or Homeowners insurance is a kind of property insurance designed to safeguard someone's house. If you overestimate, you might wind up paying for more insurance then you demand. If you would rather mobile phone insurance to insure your phone wherever it goes, you will want to add personal possessions cover to your own residence insurance policy policy coverage.
There is going to be numerous additional sorts of cover that you can elect for. You need to make sure that the cover you pick on and the service you get are the best. You are able to extend the cover to include accidental loss or damage in the house or any place in the world.
Operating your contractor company through your own limited company lets you claim costs on several business related expenditures, which you might not have the capability to perform by means of an umbrella company. It's equally important to understand what the insurer won't cover as it would be to comprehend what they will pay for. Another incentive whenever you are currently searching for a home insurance policy business you can trust.
The first point is what happens at the event that a claim is submitted by you. Liability claims can be particularly expensive, so many coverages will provide you with at least a 1 million limit of cover for any 1 claim. For example, there have been lots of times while individuals have set in a claim because that 100 year-old oak tree came crashing through the roof of the house because of an unexpected storm. Increasing the sum you opt to pay can help lessen your house insurance policy premium, but you are likely to get to manage afford the compulsory and your chosen amount of voluntary excess should you create a claim.
The policy should be in the organization name, and payments ought to be produced from the company bank account. If your contents insurance policy doesn't include accidental damage cover, you'll only be in a position to claim for damage caused as a consequence of damage in the house, like a fire or flood. Since government stipulates no true opt-out mechanism, supporting the state is not simply a personal preference. It's important to check whenever your policy is due for renewal so that you can make sure it's not renewed if you don't want it to be. The most suitable policy can cover the expense of replacing your contents if they're stolen or destroyed. Actually, most home insurance policies will cover your private property anywhere on the planet. Whatever happens, when you have a Barclays home insurance policy you may make a claim on the internet or call us on 0800 027 9844 1 and we'll tell you how we can help put things right.

theAsianparent (TAP), the largest parenting portal in the region, has gathered 110 (and counting!) influencers across Southeast Asia to establish the 'TAPfluencer network', the first of its kind.
Composed mostly of mumfluencers, a handful of dadfluencers, as well as thought leaders, the network has a collective reach of 6.1 million users across Asia: 2.4 million on Facebook and 2.5 million on Instagram, to name some platforms.
Connecting the right influencers with brands they truly believe in, the network benefits its members, marketers, and theAsianparent audience alike, through engaging content coming from the TAPfluencers' real mum/dad perspectives.
As they test products and take part in campaigns and events, TAPfluencers will be able to gain unique brand experiences to share with those in the same parenthood stage – from expecting a baby all the way to raising a pre-teen.
The list of TAPfluencers was debuted during the launch event last September 9, 2017 at the Tickled Media headquarters. Members of the TAPfluencer network were in attendance to take part in the momentous event.
Mumfluencers Pooja and Ashlyn with their tots plus Tickled Media Founder and CEO, Roshni Mahtani, and Project Lead Minoli Almeida.
A full-time working mum of two, she believes that "Tough times don't last but tough people do." Diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma when her eldest was 9 months old, she beat the disease and now helps others through the Singapore Cancer Society.
A TV personality and mum of one with another on the way, Malaque is known to many as the wife of rapper, Syarif Sleeq. Together, they run their hit food business, Chulop! churros, which they call their 'first baby', borne of Malaque's baking prowess and delectable homemade recipes.
The young parents' unwavering faith and strength during their heartbreaking struggle with late daughter Courageous Caitie's rare medical condition, inspired many throughout the region. They are blessed with a new angel in their lives, and are stronger than ever as a family.
She's the woman behind 'modern mommy lifestyle blog', The Bag Investigator, which provides tech, beauty, and food updates and informative reviews on bags – from latest releases to spotting fakes. She also incorporates her parenting takeaways and motherhood milestones into the blog.
The beauty-blogging mum of two has long been influential in the lifestyle circles of Malaysia. With her transition to motherhood, she shares tips on staying gorgeous, despite the demands of child-rearing.
Every mum's fitspiration, she is the brains behind Cikipedia, a blog that shares her secrets on staying young and fit, especially as a new mum to baby Luca. She is also a practicing Pharmacist (UK) and a Certified Fitness Nutritionist (NASM).
A doctor, wife, and mum, she is the author of Heart Emergency Book and Save My Soul. Fondly known as 'Doctor Duck', she describes herself as a "Doctor for people", sometimes even answering her followers' health concerns over social media.
Of the many roles she's played on the big and small screens, perhaps the one she enjoys most is her current one as mother to the adorable Kenzie. She is married to dadpreneur Chandra Tauphan Ansar.
Mummy Prae takes pride in balancing work and family life. She tackles common parenting problems and shares a 'Mummy Guide' featuring tips on childcare, alongside lifestyle stories and updates.
Sharing her musings on motherhood, Mummy Air blogs her stories, photos, inspirations, and experiences as a young mother, covering topics ranging from pregnancy and breastfeeding to preschool, as well as home/parenting tips.

And after all of that, they apologised.
It shouldn't have happened in the first place, and Monster shouldn't have let it grow to the point that it got to.
But they've apologised, and all is forgiven. I don't think anyone will be forgetting about it any time soon though.
And, Grandad has his say too.


My chain is worn out...again.
Someone told me this is because I ride too much.
There's no such thing as too much riding.
Dang, I just figured it out.
I've spent almost $1500 for just chains on this bike.
Maybe I do ride too much.
How much would other forms of therapy cost? I'd say you're money ahead.
lmao. I had not considered that.
Are there still endless chains?

Writing Some Stuff & Keeping On Keeping On
Posted by Leesa Cross-Smith | May 18, 2015 | Line Drive |
"Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere." _Anne Lamott
My husband was the one who told me to stop reading/buying how-to-write books. He told me to stop reading craft books. He told me this so I would stop reading and start writing. I was waiting for someone to give me permission to call myself a writer, permission to put together a short story collection. I didn't feel like I had as much or enough of FILL IN THE BLANK. I don't even know what it was. Can't explain it. But I'm one of those people who doesn't really like doing new things in front of people. I like to learn quietly on my own. My daughter got it from me, as well. When she was learning to walk, she'd go back to her room alone and practice. By the time she was walking in front us, she was danged near a pro at it and very proud of herself. I'm the same way. But the thing is with writing…you kinda have to learn it by doing it and putting yourself out there, crossed fingers, gritted teeth…giving it a shot. This isn't to say that you shouldn't always do your best and be careful about what you put out into the world, because you should. You totally should. I feel really blessed that I don't have that one story that makes me cringe out in the world that I hear a lot of writers talk about sometimes. But even if I did…it's okay. We all learn and (hopefully) do better.
When I gave myself permission to put my collection together, I'd had one story published. It was called "And It Can Never Be Too Dark Or Too Bright" and it went up at Storychord. (An excerpt went up @ The Rumpus a bit beforehand and that was my v. first published work of fiction.) Some of my friends had been published there and I really liked the editor Sarah Lynn Knowles. I'd been reading a LOT of short story collections, to see how they did it. I found linked stories and not-linked stories and long collections and short collections and collections written by both women and men. I found collections that were edgy and experimental and dark and weird and collections that were normal and chill and lovely. My main goal was to write a book I wanted to read and a book that felt how I wanted it to feel. No matter what I was writing about…I wanted my book to feel a certain way. And this would be a good time for you to ask me how I wanted it to make me feel and I would tell you IT'S HARD FOR ME TO EXPLAIN. But I feel it. And a couple different ways I can describe it are: putting your ear down to the railroad tracks to listen for the train, firecrackers and honey, a Neil Young song, kissing in the rain, staying up all night with the windows open, driving with the windows down, being with the person you want to be with even if what you're going through is horribly shitty, being pleasantly snowed in with a cute, brilliant conversationalist and a pantry full of food and hot chocolate and whiskey and warm, clean pajamas.
So I sent my stories to a LOT of different places and got a LOT of rejections. Mostly form, some personal. I cherished my first personal rejection! SO EXCITING! And I just kept writing. I kept writing, sending stuff out, reading for literary magazines, entering contests, getting rejections and rejections and rejections…waiting an entire year to hear back from some people. I mean it just plain sucks to wait AN ENTIRE YEAR for a form rejection. Or even for a personal rejection. I'd especially feel like it was so long once the seasons changed. If I submitted something when it was super-hot and then it was snowing and freezing by the time I got a rejection I would be like WOW. (This is one of the main reasons we try our best to get back to people as quickly as possible @ WhiskeyPaper. We are only open for subs a couple times a year, but when we are…my husband and I do our best to get back to people in a couple of days. And sometimes it's a lot of work! But it's important to me.)
I have been rejected from a couple different magazines that have later, turned around and asked me to guest edit an issue for them or they've asked if they could interview me. What I'm saying is: SOMETIMES LIFE IS WEIRD, MAN.
I was embarrassed to enter Carve Magazine's Raymond Carver Short Story Contest because I thought I had no business doing it. (My story "Whiskey & Ribbons" won Editor's Choice in the contest in 2011.) I'd taken a lot of creative writing classes in college, but only poetry. I felt like a fiction-phony. (The first thing I ever had published was a poem called "Chicago.") A lot of good stuff came out of me putting myself out there even though I was shy, even though I was embarrassed. I did it anyway. Flash forward to later…my publisher Mojave River Press, found me. My literary agent from Curtis Brown Ltd. found me. They found me when I was out doing other things, promoting WhiskeyPaper things and other work/writing/authors I'd found and loved.
All that time in between, I was writing a lot, working a lot, promoting the things I loved. I was going through a lot of red inkage crossing things out and rearranging things and revising and rewriting. I learned to write stories by writing some really crappy stories and spending time with them, learning to make them better. I stopped trying to write like other people. I only wrote what I wanted to write, how I wanted to write it. I listened to people I trusted when they gave me suggestions. I stuck to my guns about the things I believed in.
I'm also #blessed b/c since my husband is the breadwinner in our family, I have the time to write. The time to write is a gift. My children are 2.5 years apart and when they were babies, not in school, I wrote nothing and I didn't care. When they started doing more things on their own…so did I.
I taught myself how to write YA fiction by writing a YA novel. I taught myself how to write a novel by writing a novel. I taught myself how to put together a short story collection by putting together a short story collection. I found a publisher for my short story collection by meeting someone through my literary magazine who loves writing and books. I taught myself how to put together a literary magazine by putting together a literary magazine. And the same goes for chapbooks. And the same goes for anything like this, I think. I'd queried some agents before but ended up signing with mine because she found me out in the world as I was gushing about another one of her (unknown to me at the time) clients and how much I loved her book. There is something to be said there about timing…and keeping on. There is something to be said there about things happening organically and not forcing them…and keeping on.
I think a lot of this writing/publishing thing is hard work plus a bit of magic and luck. And everyone probably has their own version of something like this. I'm not claiming to be original in saying that…I think it's just fact. I believe being kind helps more than some people may know sometimes. Hanging tough, doing the work, making connections when you can…sincerity and sweetness. And also, willingness to fail spectacularly. There are days when I feel like a writer, whatever that means! There are also days when I feel like a little girl, playing at being a writer. And those things don't feel super-different to me. I quite like them both. They both make me feel like I'm doing what I can while I can, the best I can. That I'm not giving up. And I won't. And you shouldn't either. Make your own magic! Write your gorgeous stories and string twinkle lights across every page, even on the defeating sucky days. Believe. Truly. And hang in there, kitten.

Emmanuel Parish, Braintree began as a mission of Christ Church, Quincy, a parish founded in 1689 by the Church of England in Old Braintree. In 1906, The Reverend William E. Gardner, Rector of Christ Church, began holding services in Braintree; and in 1909, the new mission was incorporated under its present name with the congregation worshiping in the Masonic Temple. In 1909, The Reverend M. Oakman Patton became the first settled minister, and was followed in 1919 by The Reverend John C. Poland during whose ministry the mission became a parish in 1922.
In December of 1924, the church was built and dedicated. The Reverend J. Holland Beal became Rector in 1936 and during the next four years the parish hall and church tower were erected. Because of close friendship between The Reverend Beal and Dr. Kingsolving, then Rector of Trinity Church, Copley Square, Emmanuel Parish received various items of furniture from Trinity, including our Phillips Brooks altar. The Reverend John R. Dallinger began his ministry in 1940. He took the leadership in a campaign to remove the heavy burden of indebtedness created by the cost of the parish hall. The debt was paid off in the fall of 1947 and the church was consecrated on January 4, 1948 by The Right Reverend Norman B. Nash, then Bishop of Massachusetts.
The Reverend Dallinger served as Rector until 1969, the longest tenure of any rector to-date. He was followed by a number of rectors, including three female priests.
The Reverend Thomas P. Mulvey, Jr. began his ministry here in February of 2009 as Priest-in-Charge and was called as Emmanuel's Thirteenth Rector in September of 2011.


The Clockwork Oranges poses for the camera at the Battle at the Border tournament.
On Saturday, October 17th, 2015, El Modena's robotics team, The Clockwork Oranges (Team Number: 4322) represented our school at Battle at the Border; a tournament hosted by Team 1538 – The Holy Cows and Team 2485 – The W.A.R Lords. This event was held at the Francis Parker School in San Diego.
All Clockwork Oranges competitions and meetings are monitored by Mr. Bowie and Mr. Loya. Robotics is currently training their new members to prepare for build season, which begins January 9th, 2016 until February 23rd, 2016 before regional tournament begin.
Frontline interviewed Steven Bell (12), president and leader of the Clockwork Oranges.
Frontline: How many other teams were present at the tournament?
Steven Bell: Thirty-Four teams were at the tournament, including the Clockwork Oranges.
FT: What is the idea behind having this competition?
SB: Off-season competitions are a great team building arena. They also help new members understand how the robot works and other functions and characteristics of competing.
FT: How do teams at Battle at the Border compete?
SB: The teams are randomly grouped with two other teams each math to form an alliance. The field is split into two; three robots on each side. The goal of each battle is to combine their robots functions to stake totes (boxes) and containers (trash bins). Each item you stack is a point to your team.
FT: When did you join Robotics?
SB: I joined Robotics during my junior year.
FT: What are your plans for the Clockwork Oranges?
SB: I plan to build a championship robot and win first place as well as spread STEMs throughout our community.

Thanks. This is a bit puzzling. How does LFS look when you ALT+TAB out of it from full screen? Is it just a name and and icon in the taskbar?
If anyone can intercept and log the Windows messages sent to LFS in this situation in Windows 10, that would be interesting.
That is a feature of the file loading dialog. I didn't write it with engine sounds in mind, more for the track editor. As you start to type a word, the matching files are highlighted and that can be helpful when loading a file from a large directory.
Does your lag when entering the pits seem to be solved now?
Do you get the same issues as troy and mbutcher, ALT+TAB from full-screen results in high CPU/GPU usage? If paused when I do that, mine goes to zero CPU.
On my Windows 10 laptop (with Intel HD4000 graphics) I don't get any lag when jumping to the pits with H6. I do have the high CPU/GPU usage when alt-tabbed from full-screen, even when LFS is just sitting on the title screen. The thumbnail that comes up when I mouse over LFS on the taskbar is black when alt-tabbed, and contains whatever was last displayed in LFS when minimized from windowed mode.
I also get increased CPU usage. It looks as its inactive in taskbar.
First number is time(0), then message name, wParam and lParam.
Sorry, don't know how to capture messages sent to LFS, but here is a screenshot on how LFS looks for me when I alt-tab. If you give me somewhere to start I'll be happy to try to capture something.
Quote from Scawen : Does your lag when entering the pits seem to be solved now?
Yes, the lag is gone now in H6, thanks.

Quote from Scawen : Do you get the same issues as troy and mbutcher, ALT+TAB from full-screen results in high CPU/GPU usage? If paused when I do that, mine goes to zero CPU.
Yes, when in game I get around 20% CPU and GPU usage, but when I Alt+Tab out of the game, it increases a lot.
Well now i have been enjoying the new improved performance, and with the new frame graph something just seem so obvious now.
Why is it I can reduce quality options and resolution and get 6-700 FPS!! and when i put on V-sync i still get temporal randomly stuttering??
Well with the new frame graph when (display refresh rate@50HZ) it is showing every frame with 2 physics calculations until stutter begins then there could be one frame with one physics cal and next have 3 cals and so on randomly.
I am pretty sure it is the physics clock and display refresh rate going of sync for a moment. And when looking at picture with v.sync off and LFS FPS limit to 50 FPS i can see one screen tear relative steady but moving slowly up or down representing the two clocks difference. And i can also see that there is a fast jitter in the tear position of 20-30 pixels up and down representing the the jitter between the two clocks.
Now.. whenever this screen tear(with v-syn off) is in the middle of the screen and i turn on v-sync, everything is perfectly smooth always. But if the screen tear(with v-sync off) is at the upper or lower end of the screen and i turn on v-sync i get a terrible stutter, which make sense because the Frames change fast from 1,2 and 3 physics cal per frame because of the clocks "edges" overtake each other randomly. I hope you understand what i mean :-).
And what use is High frame rates when frames come randomly with bad timing(stutter) which ruin the illusion of the virtual world?
So, my idea or question to you Scawen: Why not sync the physics clock to the Refresh clock when v.sync is on?
It "just" need to micro(0,01Hz) adjust the physic clock to keep sync steady and aligned so the jitter between the clocks don't generate the stuttering. Its not like the physics clock is(or need to be) more precise than the refresh rate is it? This would be a major improvement in smoothness/anti-stutter without screen tear at all refresh rates and HW without having to make a complete "resample/interpolation" implementation.
Of cause micro stutter at anything else than 50 and 100Hz will still occur but, it is really not as big a problem as the other stutter, created by the jitter and off sync clocks, is imo.
However, I have noticed similar lag (for a shorter time maybe?) happening when exiting replays and when the multiplayer server list finishes loading.
This happens in H5 & H6, but not in H4.
When exiting a replay, it happens only when the frame limiter is on, the server list doesn't seem to matter if a frame limit is on or not.
It seems odd to me that it would happen in the server list, but it does seem to be a genuine hang (rather than waiting for a host to respond) because it never pauses in H4, but in H5/6 windows again briefly detects that LFS is not responding sometimes.
Interesting, your WM_ACTIVATE contains no minimised flag. Also there is no WM_SIZE, so LFS doesn't know about the resize. But I see there is a WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED (that LFS ignores) and maybe that is the key. The documentation says that WM_SIZE is not sent if WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED is processed. But it looks like in Windows 10 WM_SIZE is not sent in this case, even if WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED is *not* processed.
I suppose when you ALT+TAB in Windows 10, it's more like a resize, not a minimise. Looking at the screen shots, instead of vanishing to the task bar, there seems to be a small LFS window there. Ideally, should it be that little window stays live and keep showing a moving LFS, instead of a black screen? Is that the Windows 10 way?
Quote from hetner : You probably have a good reason why its not already in-sync, and maybe it has already been tried but found not possible. I just wanted to know if this idea have been considered?
Good thoughts you had there and it all makes sense. No, I have not considered this properly, but I'll consider it a bit. I'm not sure how easy it really is to do in offline mode. It is obviously complicated by the variety of refresh rates and the varying pattern of the number of physics updates per frame required to stay in sync. It would need to 'loosely synchronise' with the refresh rate so that for example if a refresh was missed it could catch up with real time. There is an additional complication online, as there are micro adjustments to the local game clock to stay in sync with the game clock on the server. I see some complication in trying to make micro adjustments to stay in sync with the monitor refresh rate while also making conflicting adjustments to stay in sync with the server clock. I'll consider this more but it might be too much to rush in for this week as I want to get that full version out this weekend.
Well that is a bit too strange that the SHIFT+P is fixed but those other cases are not!
Exiting from a replay should be the same as "game to pits" or "game to lobby". The end of the search for the list of hosts is another case of moving from a higher frame rate to a lower one. List of hosts, while creating the list, has a higher frame rate than all the other entry screens.
There is one more fix I can try, simply resetting the timing frame counter any time the frame rate limiter changes. But I prefer to understand the problem first so this requires some more thought.

Quote from Scawen : Is that the Windows 10 way?
with vsync on full screen all okay alt tab makes screen black.
going to window mode vsync goes off alt tab still displays game.
going full screen again vsync is on again.
so only window mode vsync goes off here.
I would say that would be the preferred way, keep vsync on and let it run in the preview window. Take Assetto Corsa for example it already does that. I know of some other software that keeps playing in those preview windows, like VLC for example.
But I'm just a consumer so I don't know how software is supposed to behave in this case, I just know it's neat when something moves in the previews.
Just thinking out loud.. please ignore me if not relevant.

Quote from DANIEL-CRO : I also get increased CPU usage. It looks as its inactive in taskbar.
Some possibilities of solutions for this problem require D3D9Ex. Did you find out why your deb.log showed only D3D9? I added an extra error message in deb.log for the case where D3D9Ex appears to be available in the DLL but fails to start.
Quote from troy : I just know it's neat when something moves in the previews.
Updated to H6 and fullscreen v-sync now works like it should on wine/OSX.
Now it shows all data sent with WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED/ING as well as I called IsMinimized/IsIconic on each log which could be simple solution.
Seems like the cause of this on my computer was d3d9.dll in LFS directory. I don't remember changing it for long time, not sure how (if) D3D9Ex worked on Win7? Anyway that d3d9 didn't have any purpose so I removed it.
OK, Windows 10 users, please can you see if this solves your issues, before I update the first post.
More updated translations - Thank you translators!
EDIT : 0.6H7 download links removed, thanks for the testing.

Quote from Matrixi : Updated to H6 and fullscreen v-sync now works like it should on wine/OSX.
Thanks, good to know, though I don't know what I changed!
Good stuff, thanks a lot for that.
H7 takes note of WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED and at that point sets LFS's 'minimised' variable if IsIconic returns true. The hope is this will catch the ALT+TAB in Windows 10 which doesn't seem to send WM_ACTIVATE during ALT+TAB.
When there is no error message, that means that the function to initialise DirectX 9Ex is not even found in the DLL. That normally means Windows XP, so that's not an error.
Sorry, didn't seem to fix the high cpu/gpu usage, at least on my system.
Last edited by Rotareneg, Tue, 11 Aug 2015 20:23 .
BTW it doesn't matter if VSYNC/frame limiter is on or off. Increased CPU usage is there regardless of settings.
And it should not try to draw anything when that variable is set. This simple mechanism works in Windows 7.
But Daniel's last post makes me want to ask a few more questions. To be clear, is this only when you ALT+TAB from full screen? What happens when you just click the minimise button on an LFS window? In that case does your CPU usage go low? Also, in the case of high CPU usage, is the GPU usage also high in H7?
Too me it happens only when i alt tab when windowed and minimize gpu goes 0% useage.
In full screen, using ALT+TAB to switch to the desktop with LFS running results in both higher CPU and GPU usage. In windowed mode CPU and GPU usage go down as expected when one minimizes LFS.
Have any of you tried what hapens if you switch the virtual desktop in Windows 10? That might be something to take account as well.
For Windows 10 users, here is a patch (exe only) with some message logging.
I would like to try and understand how that minimised variable is being set or not being set.
- At this point, wait approx 5-10 seconds so we see a time gap in the log. Maybe have a look to check that LFS is using high CPU / GPU.
- rename deb.log to deb.txt so you can upload it here. Mine is attached with some notes added.
If I check the deb.log in my own LFS folder, it stops logging after the initialisation for some reason (see deb1.txt).
When I try it with original LFS install, it logs correctly (deb2.txt).
GPU usage around 80% when minimised, 10% when in LFS.

Allison Thomson
Allison grew up in neighboring Nevada County, with family ties to the forest products industry in both Yuba and Santa Cruz Counties, all of which instilled in her a deep respect and excitement for our natural resources. After receiving BS degrees from UC Berkeley in Forestry and Environmental Sciences, she worked for multiple environmental non-profits, timber companies, and private forestry consultants across Northern California. Most recently, she has worked with local stakeholders on multiple large-scale forest health projects across the Yuba River Watershed, all focused on building critical relationships and economic stability, and improving forest health and wildfire resilience for our communities.
When she's not working in the forest (or in the office thinking about the forest), Allison can be found enjoying it: hiking, running, swimming, botanizing (and photographing said botany), cloud- and star-gazing; or snuggled at home with her fuzzy cat, cooking, baking, knitting, trying to learn to paint, and growing more vegetables than she can eat.
Jannike Allen
Jannike joined the Yuba Watershed Protection and Fire Safe Council (YWPFSC) in February 2022 as a part-time Project Coordinator. Her name may not be intuitive to pronounce, unless you use a Norwegian mindset (YON-ick-a). She grew up exploring Northern California on hikes and camping trips with her family, and became more acquainted with the Northern Sierras while working on collaborative forestry projects for a nonprofit in Plumas County. She graduated with a B.S. in Environmental Science from Portland State University, where she played percussion in as many different ensembles as possible and researched wildfire's effects on Alaska's boreal forests as a member of the Lucash Lab. She strives to have a balanced life while contributing to positive community and ecological outcomes. Her professional interests include fire resiliency, science communication, and landscape stewardship. When she's not thinking about those, Jannike is often cooking, playing music, lopping unruly vegetation, traveling to visit family and friends, learning basket weaving, and enjoying walks, hikes, and art.

Creighton Avila
Creighton Avila is a Project Manager with Yuba Water Agency, and brings a broad background in administration (e.g. budget, finance, human resources, strategic planning, technology implementation, communications, etc.), program evaluation and improvement (e.g. identify operational opportunities with staff and stakeholders to create strategies for success), management of diverse programs (e.g. infrastructure programs, natural resource/recreation programs, administrative programs, etc.), and leading public engagement processes on contentious topics (e.g. rebuilding after a natural disaster, creating countywide vegetation management rules, commercial and medical cannabis, etc.). Creighton grew up in Vacaville and spent a lot of his youth in the Northstate and the North Coast where his dad's family works mostly in agriculture and water. It was there that Creighton developed his interest in helping more rural to medium size communities. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a double major, Creighton worked in the Governor's Communications Office in Sacramento. During this time, he traveled the state and met different local leaders and listened to the impact they had at the local level. These experiences drove him to want to make a difference at the local level, so he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) to get a master's in administration with an emphasis in finance and local government management. While there, he completed assistantships in economic development and local government management at the UNC School of Government. The UNC School of Government works as a consulting firm to assist local governments throughout the state. In addition, to working with local governments, Creighton also volunteered his time to work with an organization that provided microcredit loans to women in rural Guatemala. Following graduation, Creighton worked in administration for two counties and a city in North Carolina that were concentrating on infrastructure renewal/expansion and economic development after the loss of jobs in core economic areas (e.g. textiles, furniture manufacturing, tobacco, etc.). During his time in these communities, innovative local investment in education, infrastructure while creating new competitive policies brought an economic renewal in existing economic clusters and allowed for new economic opportunities that did not exist in the past. These experiences, alongside working with stakeholders to find new methods of providing services helped to improve community outcomes. After almost a decade in North Carolina, Creighton moved back to Northern California to work in the Chief Administrative Office for El Dorado County. While working for the County, he managed different administrative, infrastructure, and natural resource/recreation programs while leading efforts to bring public consensus on different controversial topics.

Pamela (Pam) Cook earned her Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Northern Illinois University in 1974 and has been working with children and families since that time as a teacher, social worker, vocational counselor, Program Manager, and Executive Director. Pam retired in 2018 after working with Yuba County Children and Adult Protective Services for 19 years. Local volunteer activities have included secretary for the Dobbins-Oregon House Community Action Committee (DOACT) and bookkeeper for the Dobbin Volunteer Fire Department. She has been a CalFire Volunteer in Prevention (VIP) doing fire watch at Oregon Peak every Sunday since 2000. She is also a Council of Directors member for the Yuba Environmental Sciences Charter Academy and an active participant with the Camptonville Community Partnership Biomass Project. Pam has lived in Dobbins since 1999 and lives on her grandparent's property. Two months after arriving the Pendola fire destroyed much of our community. Her property was also devastated (all except the house) and since that time she has been working to return/improve her property to a natural balance. She has worked hard to become a "country mouse" after being a "city mouse" for most of her life. Environmental issues are very important to her, she loves the out of doors and has turned her small property into a haven for our local flora and fauna. It has been a challenge to find the balance between trying to grow fruit trees, veggies and native plants and "sharing" with local creatures. However, it is definitely a labor of love. She looks forward to working with Yuba Watershed Protection and Fire Safe Council to help keep our forests healthy and prevent wildfires.
