		As part of The Lands Council's efforts to protect rural communities from wildfire, we have just been awarded a National Fire Plan grant to help residents of Washington's Selkirk Mountains maintain defensible space around their homes and neighborhoods.
		Forest service research shows that activities to protect homes and communities from forest fires should be prioritized in their immediate surroundings, or the "home ignition zone", and that activities outside this zone are inefficient and ineffective.
		The Lands Council is developing a program to work with selected communities to emphasize the priority of creating defensible space between fire-prone areas and people/property.

		The agreements were built on the fire planning efforts in Moffat County and helped lead to the nationally recognized fire management plan done by that county in which fire-use fires can be managed on the appropriate landscape scale across private and public lands and agency jurisdictions.

	Wildland Fire Related Service Manual Chapters
		The National Fire Plan recognizes the importance of providing outreach, education, and support for local communities who must play a primary role in reducing fire hazards in and near their communities, hence the management of private lands in this wildland/urban interface has become a key factor in the fire-risk equation.
		Prescribed fire on private lands in the wildland/urban interface is an acceptable hazard fuel reduction option.
		Private lands prescribed fire projects not identified by this process must be paid by the appropriate benefitting activity (i.e., 1121, 1261, etc.).

	CNN.com - Lance Morrow: 'Roadless lands' setting the woodsmen on fire - August 7, 2000
		Almost 4 million acres are on fire in California, Idaho, Montana, Utah and other states, and even with so many firefighters working them, the fires will not be extinguished until the fall, when rain and snow will do the job.
		Much of this country is scheduled to come under Bill Clinton's roadless lands plan, an initiative that will bar future roadbuilding on 43 million acres of national forest land, 9 million of them in Idaho.
		Washington, they say, is dismissive of the informed views of the people who actually live on the land, and whose lives are most directly affected: whose school budgets are devastated and whose towns are likely to be closed down by the romantic, clueless environmentalism of elitist urbanites and ignorant pantheists.

		If you have read the Gilded Chain and plan to read Lord of the Fire Lands, it's almost imperative that you have Sky of Swords ready to go, as all is explained in this novel.
		Lord of the Fire Lands is also a novel based on characterization.

	RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: William Andrew McReynolds Family Tree
		The granting of military bounty land in the United States to encourage enlistments or reward previous service began in colonial times, but its legislative heyday was from 1788 to 1855, though claims were still being received by the federal government in the 1960s.
		Colonial legislatures gave land for military service, such as for the Narragansett campaign of King Philip's War, 1675 to 1676, but these were mostly private acts passed to reward meritorious service to the colony.
		Gates states, without elaborating, that Connecticut gave bounty land; but this seems to refer to the Fire Lands in Ohio granted to individuals burned out in the revolution rather than to grants to soldiers.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Tales of the King's Blades
		While each book -- Gilded Chain, Lord of the Fire Lands, and Sky of Swords -- has been written in the guise of a stand-alone and can, I suppose, be read as such, Duncan's compositional accomplishments cannot be fully appreciated, nor inconsistencies existing within the parallel stories understood, without a reading of the entire series.
		In Lord of the Fire Lands, Duncan shifts his narrative to a different character as well as a storyline that largely takes place in another realm, the volcanic, archipelagic kingdom of Baelmark.
		Up until now, Princess Malinda has been a peripheral figure, and her arrival within the story marks a decided shift from the masculine swordplay of the previous novels to more of an emphasis upon court intrigue, elements of love and the differences often inherent in a change of gender.

		A man operates on a man's head; a hole is opened in the man's skull (we see a bloody hole) and a coin is presumably implanted in his head (while operating the surgeon turns to many men who are watching, points to a spot in the hole and says "those are his brains").

		A mast breaks in half, a young man who had been on the mast loses his grip and both he and the mast land in the water (the young man is lost).
