Diverse stakeholders and spaces in the Nature Park
The Nature Park Region covers over 1070km² and thus extends over three districts, many municipalities and various geographic, tourism and political areas.
Bei all den Akteuren und ihren Bezeichnungen wird es schnell einmal unübersichtlich. Auf dieser Seite erfahren Sie mehr über einige Gebietsbezeichnungen und Institutionen, die Ihnen im Kontext des Naturparks begegnen. Aufgrund des besonderen historischen Werdeganges sind selbst alteingesessene sich nicht immer ganz sicher, wie das eine aus dem anderen entstand. An dieser Stelle also nun der Versuch einer Erklärung.
Lüneburg Heath Nature Park (since 2007)
"Lüneburg Heath Nature Park" stretches over parts of the three districts of Harburg, Heidekreis and Lüneburg and includes numerous nature reserves in the region. This includes the most famous reserve around Wilseder Berg.
Nature parks are large-scale protected areas designated under the Federal Nature Conservation Act (§ 27) and are therefore regions that maintain and develop the cultural landscape, support sustainable regional development, promote landscape and nature conservation, develop environmentally compatible recreation areas, and strengthen environmental awareness. The Nature Park is also a part of Lüneburg Heath tourist destination, which actually extends beyond the area of the Nature Park (see below).
- In 2007 LH Nature Park was expanded from 223 km2 to 1070 km2. The occasion was a citizens' participation process under the EU LEADER +funding programme.
- Its size today is 1070 km2, with around 100,000 inhabitants.
- Lüneburg Heath Nature Park Board of Trustees has been managing Lüneburg Heath nature park since 2006.
- The Association finances its activities through membership fees and acquired funds. All concerned municipalities and districts as well as clubs, associations, companies and private individuals are members of the Board of Trustees.
The Managing Director is Mrs. Hilke Feddersen, Chairman is Mr. Olaf Muus.
Lüneburg Heath Nature Conservation Park Foundation and Association
"Nature Conservation Park" is the name of an association which has been significantly active for more than 100 years in conserving and maintaining Lüneburg Heath. Hence the term "Lüneburg Heath Nature Conservation Park" is an old term used to refer to an area that today is identical to Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve. There are historical reasons for this.
Before legal protection measures under the Prussian government, or later under state conservation laws, the Association made the area around the Wilseder Berg into a "nature conservation park". This attained the status of a nature conservation area, for which the "Verein Naturschutzpark" continues to carry out many of the nature conservation tasks.
- The VNP is an owner of land in the nature reserve, in addition to many other (state forests, monastic chamber, private).
Structurally the Association is divided into a foundation with a non-profit association and a limited company (GmbH). The Managing Director is Mr. Mathias Zimmermann, the Chairman is Mr. Wilfried Holtmann.
Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve
With its large, continuous heathland, Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve (NCA) is the heart of the Nature Park. Under article 23 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act, nature conservation areas are protected by regulations against disturbance and change. Wildlife and landscape are subject to particular protection.
- Lüneburg Heath NCA covers 223 km2.
- Official responsibility lies with the lower nature conservation authorities of Harburg and Heidekreis districts are.
In 1956 Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve was created from the entire area Lüneburg Heath Nature Park. This was one of the first nature parks in Germany and is enshrined as a large-scale protected area in the Federal Nature Conservation Act. From 1956 to 2006, the VNP was responsible for the Nature Park; it was expanded and registered as an independent association.
Lüneburg Heath Tourist Destination since 2008
Last but not least, Lüneburg Heath is an important area for tourism. Visitors from all over the world have always been inspired by the unique atmosphere of the flowering heather. The charm of the heath, however, extends beyond the Nature Park and it is therefore seen and managed as a "tourist destination".
"Lüneburg Heath" a tourist destination consists of the three districts of Celle, Uelzen, Heidekreis, the towns of Celle and Lüneburg, as well as parts of the districts of Lüneburg and Harburg.
- Size about 7000 km2 / inhabitants about 700,000
- Lüneburg Heath tourist destination is marketed by Lüneburger Heide GmbH.
- Lüneburger Heide GmbH is financed by the districts and some private partners.
- Managing Director is Mr Ulrich von dem Bruch
Chairman of the Board is Mr. Rainer Rempe

The Geese | West Coast Danger Folk
Tags: Album, Danger Folk, Free music, Georgia Straight, review, The Geese, Vancouver
Posted : February 3rd, 2012 by Nico Boesten
Our friends, the Geese, effectionately self-labelled as West Coast Danger Folk, have recently come out with a new album which is getting some great reviews including this one from Vancouver's Georgia Straight. Not only is it a great review, complimenting the unique sounds & high quality of the album, but the analogies used by Mr. Mike Usinger are refreshingly innovative. It's great to see a hard working band like The Geese get some much deserved exposure and you can't argue with their generous offer to download a free track via NoiseTrade.com.
Original Article found here on Straight.com.
The Geese go beyond labels on their eponymous new album
Due to the fact that every jackass and his second cousin have a Pro Tools rig and a MySpace page, it helps to have a gimmick these days. The Geese are working that angle by branding themselves as Lotusland's finest purveyors of West Coast Danger Folk, a genre name that means even less than "dubstep".
What's funny about The Geese is that the quintet needn't have bothered with such a label, partly because it doesn't really fit, and mostly because all it brings to mind is Raffi wandering the streets of Tofino with 12 pounds of plastic explosive duct-taped to his beard.
Folk, danger-flavoured or otherwise, is only one of the many touchstones on this gorgeously played, 16-track winner, which starts off with the dark organic postrock of "The Generator" and ends with the mournful classical instrumental "Residuum". In between, the various members of the Geese take turns at centre stage, moving effortlessly from old-timey torch electro-blues ("Omnibot") to ghostly soundscape meditations ("Bloodline") to Canadian-heartland Americana ("Play in a Band").
The musicianship is scarily accomplished, the recording quality totally pro, and the lyrics are designed to get you thinking about how mankind is driving the planet to hell in a nuclear-powered handcart. Try not to be guilted out by "Storehouses", which was inspired by news reports that Mitsubishi has been stockpiling frozen bluefin tuna to cash in on the expected extinction of the species. That's the kind of revelation you can file under "monumentally f**king horrific", which, come to think of it, is one hell of a lot more attention-grabbing than "danger folk".
The Geese Bio
The Geese are a collective of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists based in Vancouver, Canada, who are heroically introducing the world to West Coast Danger Folk; a dramatic synthesis of fate and freewill strummed, plucked and harmonized over tales of human/robotic strength and weakness.

I have a confession. I've never been a "scone person".
It's not that I have anything against scones. They've just never been my go-to treat with coffee or tea. Until now. Until these scones.
This baking experiment was a lesson for me. A lesson that all scones are not created equal. It's quite possible that I've had bad luck in scone taste testing in the past. Maybe I never had a good scone. If so, that has changed!
The bananas help to keep these scones on the moister side of things. They are far from dry. The chocolate chips and toasted walnuts are delicious additions. Though it may be tempting to skip the toasting of the walnuts…don't. It adds so much more flavor to the finished treat. Of course, the sweetened glaze is an added bonus for me.
These can be whipped up in no time flat. From start to finish, they only take about 40 minutes. You don't even need special tools…not even a mixer.
One small warning…your hands may get slightly sticky in forming the dough. A little soap and water rectifies that quickly! But hey, it will bring back childhood memories of working with clay or playdoh. :))
Chocolate Chip Banana Scones
For the Scones:
1 cup AP flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, cold and cut in small pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup small diced ripe banana
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (reserve 1 tablespoon for topping)
1 /3 cup finely chopped walnuts (reserve 1 tablespoon for topping)
For the Maple Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar (+ up to 1/4 cup more as needed)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup pure maple sugar
Preheat oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, place about 1/2 cup of walnut halves in a single layer. Toast in the oven until fragrant and medium brown in color, 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Measure out 1/3 cup, any remaining cuts can be used for garnish or another use.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar and salt. With a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, cut in the butter. The mixture will be somewhat dry, with coarse crumbs of flour covered butter. Some pieces will be larger than others, this is fine.
In a measuring cup, combine the heavy cream, vanilla and syrup. Add the wet ingredients to the flour/butter mixture. Mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until ingredients are combined. (Over mixing will cause the butter to break down.) Stir in the diced banana, chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix just until combined and everything is well distributed. (The dough may seem dry and as if it is lacking liquid, there is enough. If you're having a difficult time incorporating the ingredients, use your hands.)
Place the dough on a flat work surface. Form into a circle about 8-inches in diameter and about 1-inch thick. Using a long chef knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack. While the scones are cooling, make the maple syrup glaze. Combine the maple syrup, butter, vanilla and 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Whisk well until the glaze is the right consistency. Add additional sugar 1 tablespoon at a time as needed. Test the consistency with a fork. When the fork is dipped in the glaze and raised, the glaze should drip/drizzle off the fork with a little effort…slightly thicker than liquid.
When the scones are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over each one. Top with reserved chopped walnuts and chocolate chips as desired.
Recipe adapted from Cookie+Kate, here.

Palin Takes AP to Task
Posted by Shane Vander Hart on September 7, 2009
Many of us join Secretary Gates in condemning the Associated Press for its heartless and selfish decision to turn its back on the wishes of a grieving family in order to exploit the tragic death of a true American hero.
Lance Corporal Joshua 'Bernie' Bernard was a selfless young American who sacrificed everything for our freedom.
Shame on the AP for purposely adding to the grieving family's pain. Ignoring the family's wishes by publishing a sacred image of their loved one proved a despicable and heartless act by the AP. The family said they didn't want the photo published. AP, you did it anyway, and you know it was an evil thing to do.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bernard family. Words can not adequately express our sorrow and appreciation for your sacrifice. We will never forget your Marine or his fallen comrades.
May God bless the Bernard family.
-Sarah Palin

About Scouting
There are lots of organisations in Malta that offers activities
for young people, so why choose Scouts? Scouts' age-related
progressive program is unique - no other organisation offers such a
diverse variety of activities and experiences across such a broad
age-range. Children and young adults aged from 5 to 26 can join at
any stage of Scouting and participate in a program that encourages
them to grow through adventure by experiencing new challenges,
making new friends, building confidence, taking responsibility for
themselves, and being provided with opportunities to explore their
own abilities and interests. Perhaps the most important thing,
however, is that Scouts have fun!
Scouting encourages young people to become well-rounded young
adults who believe in their current abilities and future potential,
who are well-equipped to face life's challenges, who are strong
leaders as well as effective team players, and who can make a
constructive contribution to the community in which they live.
The Scout program is based on the wisdom of over a century of
Scouting experience from around the world, combined with a dynamic
and contemporary approach which ensures that the program remains
engaging and relevant to today's youth, their families, and the
wider community. Emphasising peace, education and understanding,
Scouting transcends all cultural, religious, racial, political, age
and gender barriers. The Scout Association of Malta also welcomes
membership enquiries from those with intellectual or physical

The Flash is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Known for his lighting fast speed and equally quick tongue, the Scarlet Speedster provides some much needed levity in the darker moments of the DC universe.
It's generally accepted that there have been four Flashes in the DC Universe, but throughout the characters history, there have been 12 people who have held the title of "The Flash" in some form or another. Read on to find out who.
Here are 12 Characters Who Have Been The Flash.
12 Jay Garrick
Speeding onto the pages of Flash Comics #1 in January of 1940, Jay Garrick was the first person in the DC universe to become The Flash. While attending college in Keystone City, a lab accident involving hard water vapors (no, really) went horribly wrong. Jay was knocked out for a week, but when he came to, he found that the accident gave him super speed so, of course, he uses his newfound powers to fight crime and make the world a better place.
Just kidding! He actually uses them to become a star football player and get a girlfriend, but he eventually learned to use his powers for good, becoming the superhero known as The Flash. He was even a founding member of the Justice Society of America, fighting alongside heroes such as as Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern.
Later reboots and retcons would change Jay Garrick's origin and powers, with the most recent reboot actually granting him the powers of the god Mercury. Currently, he is being portrayed by Teddy Sears on CW's The Flash.
11 Eobard Thawne
It might be surprising to see one of The Flash's greatest foes on this list, but Eobard Thawne, often called the Reverse Flash or Professor Zoom, depending on the source material, very briefly took Barry Allen's place as The Flash. It's sort of fitting when you consider that Eobard was originally The Flash's biggest fan and his obsession is what drove him to villainy.
While travelling back in time in order to meet his idol, Barry Allen, Eobard ends up on Earth a few months after the the events of Infinite Crisis and discovers that he's destined to become The Flash's greatest foe. This proved too much for his already unstable mind and he began to believe that he was Barry Allen. Eventually, his violent nature gives him away and he was defeated by The Flash Family.
10 Lady Flash of Earth-33
DC's multiverse isn't as large as Marvel's. In fact, according to the most recent canon, there are only 52 universes within the DC multiverse, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of possibilities for storytelling. One of these worlds, Earth-33, was the world of the Conquerors where magic has replaced science as the driving force behind society's advancement. Like other world's in the multiverse, this one had it's own version of the Justice League, known as the League of Shamans, who were magically empowered versions of the main DC heroes. One of these heroes was Lady Flash, whose mystical mastery over the Speed Force gave her powers similar to the mainstream Flash, in addition to a few new tricks such as the ability to throw lightning.
At some point during her tenure as The Lady Flash, she was visited by Ray Palmer, who warned her and the League of Shamans of an impending disaster. The Flashes of her world had a habit of sacrificing themselves in such situations, though she was hopeful that wouldn't be necessary this time.
9 Bart Allen
Bart Allen, better known as Impulse or The Flash, has a complex history even for superheroes. Initially, he was born in the 30th century and was part of a long line of heroes and villains, but this origin would later be revised. The most common version of his origin is that Bart Allen was born with an incredibly fast metabolism, causing him to age rapidly. He was eventually sent back in time where Wally West was able to cure his condition. Bart stayed in Wally's timeline, fighting alongside him first as Impulse before taking the name Kid Flash. During the Infinite Crisis storyline, it was thought that the Speed Force was destroyed, but this was a mistake as Bart was still able to channel it and, despite his desire to lead a normal life, eventually became the Flash in place of his mentor, Wally West.
Despite holding the title of "Flash" for a relatively short amount of time, Bart is one of the most influential characters to hold the title, often appearing as a member of the Teen Titans or as the character Impulse on Cartoon Network's Young Justice.
8 Bar Torr
This entry crosses a bit with Bart Allen's as Bar Torr was originally created as a rebooted version of Bart Allen, but, aside from a few similarities, the two characters are different enough that we think Bar Torr deserves his own spot on this list if for no other reason than the controversy surrounding the character.
Bar Torr was born in the 30th century and saw his parents killed by agents of the Functionary, a brutal regime which ruled the planet. Bar Torr and his sister had to fend for themselves. Bar Torr eventually joined the Purifiers, agents of the government that had killed his parents, while he waited until he found an opportunity to get his revenge. He eventually found work as a smuggler where a ship crash triggered his rapid healing and super speed. With his newfound powers, Bar Torr organized a rebellion against the Functionary and was pretty successful until they started targeting his sister, who he had left at a monastery some years earlier. As part of a deal to protect her, Bar Torr was sent back in time where he met Barry Allen and took the name Bart Allen, fighting crime as the Kid Flash.
What role, if any, Bar Torr has in current canon remains to be seen, but given the rather strong fan backlash, we wouldn't be surprised if Bar Torr's time as Kid Flash is past.
7 Ms. Flash
Fans of the the CW's The Flash know Patty Spivot as Shantel Vansanten's character, who made her appearance in the show's second season. In the comics, Patty served as Barry Allen's partner in the crime lab. One day, while working in the lab, she was almost struck by a bolt of lightning before being saved by The Flash. This led into an odd what-if story revolving around Barry's failure to save her resulting in her becoming the speedster known as Ms. Flash.
The issue ends revealing her adventures to be nothing more than a fantasy, which is probably for the best considering she accidentally destroyed Central City with her powers. However she eventually did serve as the hero Hot Pursuit, but that also turned out badly, as she was killed by Brainiac.
6 Wally West
While visiting his Aunt Iris, Wally West got the chance to met his hero, the Flash,through a family friend Barry Allen. The Flash took Wally back to his laboratory and showed Wally the chemicals that gave him his speed and as fate would have it another bolt of lightning struck at that precise moment giving Wally the same powers as his hero. Wally would go on to serve as the Flash's sidekick fighting crime as Kid Flash.
During the Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline, Barry Allen was killed battling the Anti-Monitor, and Wally reluctantly took up the mantle of the Flash in Barry's stead. Wally held the title for more than 20 years and is certainly a fan favorite. During 2011's New 52 event, DC introduced a new version of Wally West, that of a troubled youth living in Central City, where Barry Allen is still the Flash.
5 Lady Flash
Ivana Christina Borodin Molotova was born in the Soviet Union and, along with two other children, was raised by scientist Pytor Orloff, who invented a serum that would duplicate the powers of Barry Allen's Flash. The three children became known as the Blue Trinity and often came into conflict with the Flash.
Ivana was actually given the title of Lady Flash by the villain Vandal Savage, who supposedly killed Barry Allen taking his costume and giving it to her. In order to keep her under control, Vandal Savage gave her a drug known as Velocity 9, but upon Barry Allen's return she managed to break free of Savage's control and helped the Flash and his allies overthrow Savage. She offered to return the Flash costume, but Barry told her to keep it and that she had earned the title of Lady Flash.
4 Iris West
Kingdom Come is widely considered to be one of the best story arcs in the DC universe, and is certainly a fan favorite when it comes to depictions of the future of the DCU. In this alternate timeline, Iris is the daughter of Wally West and Linda Park. She, like her brother, had inherited the powers of her father and took up the title of Kid Flash.
Prior to the New 52, Iris also served as a member of the Flash family, but instead of being Kid Flash, she took Bart Allen's old title of Impulse. More than just a mere speedster, Iris is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC universe, an almost perfect conduit for the Speed Force and has displayed a mastery of it unrivaled by most in the DCU.
3 Jay West
Heroes like Batman and Superman have been around since the 1930s, but reboots and updates have kept their histories relatively short. DC normally builds up about 20 or 30 years of continuity and then rewrites it in some world changing event. DC's Generations line does away with that and instead has heroes age in real time from their first appearance and follows their children, who tend to follow in their parents' footsteps. Overall, it's a really interesting concept that spawned a lot of neat characters.
One of those characters was Jay West. Jay was the son of Wally West and had inherited his father's powers. When his "uncle," Barry Allen, retired in 2008, he gave Jay one of his Flash costumes so he could carry on the Flash name. His first mission as the Flash saw him battling Metallo and saving Cyborg after he lost the use of his arms and legs due to an EMP. Overall we didn't get very much development for Jay West, but the concept behind him, and Generations in general, is one that we would for DC to explore more in the future.
2 Mary Maxwell
Stan Lee is mostly known for his work at Marvel, but in the early 2000s he wrote a series for DC called Just Imagine where he reinvented famous DC characters, One of those was the Flash. In Stan Lee's version, the Flash is a woman named Mary Maxwell. Mary's father was a scientist on the run from an evil organization known as STEALTH. In an attempt to cure his daughter's failing metabolism, Mary's dad injected her with hummingbird DNA.
During the procedure, STEALTH caught up to them killing Mary's father and causing her to be injected with the full vial of hummingbird DNA. This gave Mary super-speed, which she then used to dismantle STEALTH and avenge her father's death. Like most of the characters in the Just Imagine line, Mary Maxwell was an interesting twist on a classic character. Her story, and the line in general, is well worth a read for the concept alone.
1 Barry Allen
The second person to hold the title of the Flash, Barry Allen also marked the beginning of what would become known as the Silver Age of comics. The Silver Age was an age steeped in science-fiction and the nuclear age. Those ideas are clear in Barry Allen's origin as the previous Flash is, temporary, played off as nothing more than a fictional character. After a lab accident left him covered in various chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry found that he had superhuman speed and took to fighting crime as the Flash. Barry Allen is probably the most well-known of the various Flashes, having served as a founding member of the Justice League and having both a TV show and an upcoming movie based on his exploits.
It would later be revealed that Barry, and future DC speedsters, would actually derive their powers from the Speed Force, a vaguely explained energy source that exists outside of our universe. The exact specifics of the Speed Force and its origins vary by writer though it generally powers all of the Flashes in some form or another.

"Motel California" by Heather M. David (review)
Stephen H. Provost
I don't often write book reviews in this space, in part because I don't read many books cover-to-cover these days. Motel California was an exception. I'll admit it's a "coffee-table book," so it didn't take me long to cover its 184 pages, but it's worth taking your time for the quality of the artwork, the presentation and the nuggets of information you'll find there.
Heather M. David has created a beautifully illustrated, record of the motel in California that's a worthy addition to the library of any highway history buff or fan of 20th century Americana. Motel California chronicles the heyday of the motor lodge in the Golden State, offering a glimpse at the kind of man-made scenery that transformed highways into something like an amusement park ride all their own, even if you didn't stop for the night.
David approaches the motels from an architectural standpoint, briefly spotlighting the architects themselves before embarking on a series of chapters dedicated to various motel themes and styles: Storyland, The Western Frontier, Desert Oasis, Tropical Paradise, Cosmic Voyage, Seaside Escape and Mountain High. (David points out that these distinct themes allowed motels to distinguish themselves from one another and stand out from the pack.)
Other chapters focus on the restaurants/coffee shops adjacent to many of the motels; rooms; pools; and, of course, the neon and plastic signs that lit up the night, beckoning travelers to their destination.
David does a good job covering most of the state, dedicating significant space to the Orange County/Disneyland area, as well as Lake Tahoe. I was pleased to find pages on some of the motels I'm familiar with and a few that I covered in my own book on Highway 99 and my forthcoming work on Highway 101. Those include the Motel Inn – the world's first "motel" – and the nearby Madonna Inn, both in San Luis Obispo.
She also includes a vintage picture of the Western Motel in Santa Clara, with its distinctive cactus sign. I took a photo of this one myself for Highway 101, so it's still there, although (unfortunately) the neon has been removed.
As a native Fresnan and the author of Fresno Growing Up, I also particularly enjoyed the material on Fresno's old motels, one of which (The Tropicana Lodge) is featured both on the cover as well as inside. I was pleased to see the chapter on signs included both the old Fresno Hacienda sign and the iconic "diving girl" sign from the old Fresno Motel. The picture of the interior of the old Pine Cone Restaurant was a particular treat, as I remember visiting that place as a child and digging into a "treasure chest" for trinkets they gave away to youngsters.
The book is handsomely illustrated with postcards, historic and modern photos, souvenirs and vintage ads, all in vivid color on glossy pages. I was struck by the off-kilter sign on the Jump n' Jack Motor Hotel (page 28), the camel attraction at the Pyramid Motel in Anaheim (page 60), and the outrigger-style architecture of the Palm Springs Tropics (page 76) and San Diego's Half-Moon Inn (page 78).
In terms of the text, the book is at its best when it traces the history of the various locations, pinpointing when the motels opened and letting the reader know what happened to them. Something I didn't know: The Palm Springs Tropics was adjacent to a Sambo's, which also operated a "Congo Room" cocktail lounge on the site. There's a cool photo of the interior of the Congo Room, too.
I've long been fascinated by once-ubiquitous pieces of our culture that have faded from view over time: old motels, gas stations, shopping malls, department stores, sporting venues, concert halls. For me, buying Motel California was a no-brainer, and I wasn't disappointed. If your interests run parallel to mine, I'm betting you won't be, either.
Motel California (184 pages, full color, $45, CalMod Books) is available from the author's website or via Amazon.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Weekend rain has resulted in a dramatic improvement on the wildfire front across the province.
Fire information officer Ryan Turcot says 170 active wildfires are currently burning in B.C.
That's a significant drop from the high of 252 fires recorded last week as high temperatures and strong winds fanned flames in parts of the Okanagan and southern Interior.
Turcot says most of the 170 active fires were caused by lightning, while six new blazes were reported Sunday and today, with four of those sparked by lightning and two believed to be human-caused.
Nearly 3,000-square kilometres of woodland has been burned by 1,342 wildfires since the forest fire season began in April.
Total costs of fighting the fires is close to $152 million, well above B.C.'s initial firefighting budget of $60 million. (CHNL)

One of the benefits of being a wedding photographer is hearing all the great love stories. This one is special because it started when they were in the 7th grade. How many middle school relationships end in marriage? Their amazing story, in their own words: "Jessica was the tallest, blondest, prettiest girl at Sequoia Middle School." Lee says. "I was four-foot-six in 7th grade, and Jessica seemed to stand two full feet over me. But I didn't care. I was in love."
He continues, "I walked her home from school. Sometimes I held her hand. We went to movies. I took her to the Spring dance. I remember we had to dance at 'elbows length apart' most of the time, but during the final dance I pulled her close. She could rest her head completely on top of mine. It was magic."
Scroll to the bottom to here her side of this sweet story.
Her side of things was just as sweet. "I still can't believe that the man I'm going to marry is the boy that took me to the spring dance in 7th grade." Jessica says, "He even wore a suit to the dance. All the other boys were wearing the typical baggy pants and big t-shirts, but not my Lee. He has always been very classy, even as a 12 year old boy! He was also my first boyfriend. I was extremely shy and timid in middle school. I was a scrawny, tall, gangly girl, and I often got teased for these things. Lee somehow saw me as gorgeous. Still to this day he says he thought I was just so pretty!"
She continues, "As many young romances go, we parted ways around the end of 7th grade. Little did we know, that wasn't the end of our story. We kept in touch on and off over the years; we even dated again for a while in 2008. It seems we couldn't stay away for too long. In September of 2011, the time was finally right. After a wonderful year together, Lee proposed in Hawaii on September 2, 2012. He said he just couldn't wait any longer. We are so excited to spend the rest of our lives together! I believe some things are just meant to be, and I am definitely meant to be with Lee. He is the funniest man I've ever met. We laugh together every day. He knows how to make me feel better when I'm down. I feel so lucky I get to spend even a minute with him, let alone the rest of my life! I couldn't be happier that I get to marry my best friend."
Well if that's not the sweetest love story that started in the 7th grade I don't know what could possibly top it. Thanks guys for the wonderful engagement shoot and I'm totally excited to photograph the wedding!

Larry Ellison has bought himself a revolt. MySQL refuses to go gentle into Oracle's uncertain arms.
Monty Widenius, principal author of the original version of the open source database and a founder of the MySQL company that Sun bought last year for a billion dollars, is proposing to wrest control of the widgetry from Oracle.
He has kicked off a "vendor-neutral" consortium called the Open Database Alliance that he envisions being the hub of MySQL development, binaries, derivative code, tools, enhancements as well as training and support provided by a collection of open source companies like Percona, a MySQL services and support firm and co-founder of the consortium.
He has sucked out of Sun all but three of the key MySQL developers who, he says, "understand the whole system," for his own start-up Monty Program Ab and expects the missing three to join him soon too. He claims their familiarity with the database is irreplaceable.
The rebel group will focus on an enterprise-grade MySQL fork called MariaDB that Widenius prefers to call a branch because it will keep in synch with the official MySQL but add more features. A true fork, he explained, and there are lots of other MySQL forks, would push MySQL is a different direction. If the community rallies around MariaDB, he said, it will head off further MySQL fragmentation.
Widenius sees the effort being like what Fedora is to Red Hat and Oracle as just MySQL's commercial arm. He claims the MySQL market, both developers and users, even its larger users, don't trust Oracle.
He says he talked to Oracle and initially offered to help it keep the MySQL's key people and was blown off. He says Oracle said it didn't know what it was going to do with MySQL, an open source rival to Oracle's own database.
Widenius sees himself as defending and protecting the MySQL community, and ensuring MySQL's future against defections to other open source databases like Postgres.
Widenius is an open source purist and the Open Database Alliance will reflect that philosophy. Everybody will contribute and those that can't do development will still help shape the specifications and pay for the work. Those that join now will shape its structure.
On his blog, Widenius describes the Alliance as initially being a "thin umbrella" but he expects to hire people to help work out the rules and provide marketing for members.
It is effectively the vision Widenius and David Axmark had when they started MySQL. They planned to create a partner network with MySQL AB, a small technical company, at the center with a lot of partners around it facing the large customers.
He sees this structure as being more agile and responsive than a single big company, even the company that MySQL AB became before its acquisition. And his anti-development experience at Sun, on which he had pinned great hopes, clinched that attitude. In his mind it let a defective 5.1 rev of MySQL get out.
He also says that he's been contacted by many would-be entrepreneurs looking to set up new businesses to exploit opportunities in the MariaDB/MySQL market. He says they should reach out to his investment company Open Ocean for advice and possible funding.
A month or so ago Patrick Galbraith, a former MySQL senior developer, wondered on his blog "What is the official tree? The project lead is Monty, and if he is now saying MariaDB is the official tree. Does that mean that the tree at Sun is now dead? Open source projects usually have their souls found in whoever personally leads the project, not in who owns the copyright of the name. Monty and Brian certainly are open source leaders, so my inclination is to follow them. This is not a slight to MySQL/Sun either, but a question that me as a both a user and developer of MySQL, as well as a former employee and team member of the MySQL development team."

Whisk and Paddle
I've been wanting to visit Whisk and Paddle ever since I saw the green trees and the Punggol Serangoon Reservoir that was just within a stone's throw from the café. I almost took a taxi there but decided to use the MRT instead because it was about a 21 min drive from Lavender. So during our first day in Singapore I dragged Hubby along for a joyride to Riviera LRT. Don't worry, we had never even heard about the LRT line before today but the café was within 5 minutes walking distance from the LRT.
Whisk and Paddle was a popular choice for cyclist and families especially since it was a bit of a mini getaway place from the always busy city. I think a lot of people appreciate the change of scenery that they could find within the small area.
Service was really good and the staff was quite attentive as every customer were given glasses of cold water right as they sat down. There was a small kids' corner where little boys and girls can enjoy some activities using toys provided by the café. If you can't bear the humidity, there is also indoor seating available for customers.
One important tip: as soon as you get off the Riviera LRT, take a lift / stair down and use your google maps to locate the Punggol Police Station. Once you've found the police station, there's a restaurant complex nearby (Popeye's Chicken, Uncle Leong Seafood restaurant etc and you will see the Whisk and Paddle café soon enough).
The humid weather made hubby crave cold drinks more than usual so he ordered a glass of yellow mango smoothie. I went with the black sesame latte instead, a drink that will certainly make a person conscious of having black sesame powder stuck on their teeth after a few sips. I like my black sesame latte since it wasn't too strong and it came with pretty coffee art too.
We tried the Pandan Melaka waffle that came with Movenpick Vanilla Dream ice cream, cubic butter cakes, roasted cashew, gula Melaka and bits of cornflakes. Today's waffle was crispy and it had a really good texture. The Madagascar vanilla icecream didn't disappoint too and to be honest it was probably the best vanilla ice cream that I ever tasted! Every material worked well together and also perfect to be shared between two people. Next time I will request an extra bowl of gula Melaka ;-).

First, it was the Beyoncé fans. Then it was Justin Timberlake on "Saturday Night Live." And sometime last week, months after the song dominated radio airwaves and YouTube, a video of Joe Jonas doing his rendition of the "Single Ladies" dance popped up online. It's already attracted close to 4 million views.
The video made many wonder why Joe decided to release a video of himself donned up in a leotard and heels for Beyoncé's girl power anthem so late in the game. But the middle JoBro explained to MTV News that it was not entirely his idea.
"We filmed the video for the fans," Jonas said. "We did a contest where we were figuring out what would you like Joe to do, and you pick one [out of three choices]. One was play bongos for 10 minutes, one was wrestle with [our bodyguard] Big Rob and one was do the 'Single Ladies' dance. I've only seen [Beyoncé's] video like maybe twice in my life, and we filmed it twice, so … it was cool."
Although doing a dance he barely knew did pose a problem for the 19-year-old, there was a bigger issue during his performance: "Heels are really hard to wear. I feel bad for every girl that has to wear heels or chooses to wear heels," he said. "They're not fun."
The video caused such a sensation that when the Jonas Brothers YouTube site went down for a few hours, fans thought that someone had put the smack-down on it. But Nick assured everyone that was not the case at all. "There was a glitch in the system, for like a couple of hours," he said. "But it was all good."
As far as Joe knows, Beyoncé and her people haven't tried to take down his homage. "It may look like it was bad, like somebody, Beyoncé, got upset, but it was all good," he said. "It's back up now."

5 Takeaways That I Learned About Assessments
Getting to a Good Software Tester.
Making a software means that you will have to test it.Thus get a place that you can do the software testing. You will need one that has the best facilities to make sure that you have the software checked thoroughly.
This is able or can be done if you use a company like Codeassess hackerrank. This is since they have the best at engineering this professionals will work on the software.This is the screening for the bugs that are likely to be found in the software at some point.
this is done when you have a company that will have a clean software after scanning it.You should seek for the mistakes and come up with a good item.If you offer them the software for scanning then you will have the perfect thing at the end of the day.
You need to check for many things to be certain that you have observed and one of this is to be certain that the software can work in any device that is it should be compatible to any operating system and any glitch should be able to be dealt with therefore the need to uses a testing company if you want a second opinion.
The second eye is the best since you will be able to get the mistakes that you did not see therefore be certain that you are able to get the relevant way as to how you can be able to deal with this at one point, therefore, be sure to locate the required testing company.
Something to check when you are to be getting a company that will be doing this is also to reduce the cost that you could have incurred when you are to be doing the testing since you will have required the equipment's and the necessary skills but when you do this then you do not have an issue developing a software.
You will need a professionals touch after making a software this means that you will have to be certain that you have found a professional that will be doing this for you that is when you ate to be needing the software checked since this is a crucial thing when it comes to having the software to the public.
Perfect software should also have the necessary flow that is it should be fast and efficient that is you should be able to have the software team deal with the speed of the software and this can be rectified by the testing team if they find any problem on the software.

Customer Reviews
This sword arrived promptly in very secure packaging. The steel parts come well greased, so have a rag on hand! The sword itself was of incredible quality. The blade was sharp and set firmly into the hilt. If one is used to two-handed swords, or smaller patterns of sabers, the heft of the thing can be a bit disheartening, but you get used to in quickly. The only issue I had was with the scabbard. It is supposed to be a wood core wrapped in leather with steel fittings, but the wood just wasn`t there. It was just a leather pouch with steel fittings. It still carried the sword, but was floppy and cheap-looking. Fortunately, True Swords replaced it for me with a steel scabbard. I think True Swords has the best customer service I have ever worked with. They were truly willing to bend over backwards to make me happy, and succeeded admirably.P.S. As of now no-one knows where the floppy scabbard issue came from, so I suggest you get the steel one, unless you don`t mind your scabbard feeling like a wet noodle
This is a true piece. If you can actually afford this sword, and have REAL experience and the patience to maintain it, buy the damn blade!The sharpness of this saber is only matched by a Damascus katana, which are very rare and twice as expensive. The only problems I have had with this blade is the shipping oils, that were laid on VERY thick for it's protection, so it is a good thing. The swiftness of the shipping was great also, and they were sure to take great care in making, preparing, and shipping this saber. I was quite nervous, even knowing that Cold Steel is one of the absolute and most well known sword and knife companies. I had thought that something would have gone wrong with my shipment, (knowing my luck) and I would have to send my sword back in anger. However, I was happily pleased when I received my saber in the mail, and found out that it is one of the absolute best swords on the market. A five star sword! Great job!
This is a beautiful sword. The pictures do not do it justice. The curvature is greater than what I expected. It feels very comfortable and well-balanced. I bought model 88SS that has the all-steel scabbard-- keep in mind that the steel scabbard will be pretty heavy if you choose to order it. My only (minor) gripes so far are that it had a couple small rust spots where the knuckle guard connects to the pommel (easily fixed), and that while the blade fits nicely into the sheath it isn't quite snug enough to keep the sword from sliding out if turned upside down. Not a big deal, but I prefer a more secure fit. The blade is very sharp, and free from any visible scratches or defects.The shipping time was excellent, and I'm very pleased with my purchase; I look forward to testing it out on some cutting targets soon.

From Geneva to l'Alpe d'Huez by the most famous passes
6 days / 5 nights
Alps - Self-guided road cycling - Self-guided - Private groups - Join a group
Without guide - Luggage transfer
~932 $ [845 €] per pers.
This extraordinary journey will take you from the shores of Lake Geneva to the world-famous alpine resort of Alpe d'Huez. In between, you'll climb some of France's most famous cols: Colombiere, Aravis, Saisies, Madeleine, Telegraphe, Galibier, and Alpe d'Huez. Without forgetting to discover French culture and gastronomy.
Your day by day program
Arrive at Geneva Cointrin International Airport. We will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel located in Yvoire by Lake Geneva. Dinner will also be right by the lake.
Today's destination is Le Grand Bornand, home of the Reblochon cheese (the locals' Powerbar!). On your way to the heart of the Aravis mountain range, you will ride through the very scenic Chablais region (our office is nearby!). The ride includes one major climb: Col de la Colombiere (1,613 m 5,290 ft). Dinner and accommodations are in Le Grand Bornand.
About 97km and 2800m of elevation gain.
You'll leave the very picturesque Le Grand Bornand and get on the classic "Route des Grandes Alpes," a
mountain route that links Lake Geneva (Thonon-les-Bains) to the Mediterranean Sea (Menton). After
climbing Col des Aravis (1,486 m or 4,460 ft.), you'll plunge down to the valley before attacking the
second climb of the day: Col des Saisies (1,657 m or 4,970 ft.). Gravity will take you down to Albertville,
where you'll dine and stay overnight.
About 75 km and 1913m of elevation gain.
Another classic day! You'll conquer Col de la Madeleine; one of the most mythic and classic mountain
passes featured in the Tour de France. The top culminates at an impressive 2,000 m or 6,000 ft, the
highest so far… until tomorrow! The northern side is a very enjoyable, long and steady climb that has its
reward: an unobstructed panoramic view of the nearby mountains. Make sure you enjoy it while at the
top… sightseeing might be the last thing on your mind when barreling down the twisty 20-km downhill to
the Maurienne Valley. After a flat section when you reach the base of the valley, you'll ascend the easy
Col du Télégraphe (1,566 m or 4,700 ft.) and reach the beautiful resort of Valloire.
About 106km and 3500m of elevation gain.
Valloire is located at the foot of the Galibier pass (2,642 m or 7.926 ft.), the mammoth climb of the day.
Riding this legendary climb is magic — graffiti from past Tours will remind you that this road has seen many showdowns since it was first featured in the 1911 Tour de France. You'll be rewarded with stunning views of the Meije glacier and a memorable 40-km (25 miles) descent to Bourg d'Oisans, before charging up the 13-km (8 miles) climb to Alpe d'Huez. The time to beat: 37'35", a record held by Marco Pantani since 1995.
About 78km and 2900m of elevation gain
After breakfast, depart Alpe d'Huez at the time of your choice (self-guided version). Note that transfers to Grenoble or Geneva can be arranged on request. Please note that you may also choose to ride from Alpe d'Huez to Nice (price on request only)

"The devil is bound throughout the whole period, from the first coming of Christ to the end of the world, which will be Christ's second coming. . . He is not permitted to exert his whole power of temptation, either by force or by guile to seduce people. . . "
The Roman Catholic Church's salvation plan is in stark opposition to the Holy Scripture's teachings.
Why is this "excursus" inserted in the story of the appointment of Moses as the leader of God's covenant people? Is there anything to learn from this incident?
When you visit our church on the Lord's Days, you're welcome to get a free copy of the following booklets from our literature table. You may also download these booklets below.
The promise of forgiveness and renewal by the Spirit is spoken specifically to the children of Peter's listeners. But the point is: In expanding his community of grace to the Gentiles, God will not expel the children.
Baptism is not a Christian's public profession of his own decision to believe in Christ (a truly Arminian idea), but the sign and seal of Christ's own work of washing of a sinner to save him.
To thousands of new Jewish converts to Christianity, this was the meaning of believers-only baptism: as soon as they believed in Christ, their children, formerly members of God's own treasured people, now have become unclean, detestable pagans, cut off from God's covenant promises. And not one of them dared question the apostles; they just sheepishly accepted this horrific fact.
A husband promises to love and to cherish his wife, but would he keep this promise if his wife was unfaithful? Not so with Christ, who, like Hosea, kept his promise, even to an adulterous Bride: he "loved the church and gave himself up for her."
"How many points?" Surely there are more than five. And when that larger number of points taught by the Reformed confessions is not respected, the famous five are jeopardized, indeed, dissolved —and the ongoing spiritual health of the church is placed at risk.
It is God who calls us to assembly; we do not assemble together of our own desire. God does not need our worship because he does not need anything in himself. On the contrary, he commands us his covenant people to worship him.
All mankind – not only Christians – have a personal relationship with God. One group is in a relationship of grace and mercy, while the other group is in a relationship of wrath and judgment.
Jeremiah 29:11 is not a promise to the man on the street that God loves him, that "God has a wonderful plan for his life."

Mike: What's the status of this? Could you please roll an updated package?
I checked in the changes for this and rolled a new package. I ran rpmlint and
still have these errors:
iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64: E: non-readable /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf 0600
iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64: W: summary-not-capitalized iSCSI daemon and

iSCSI is the name of the protocol.

iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64: W: no-reload-entry /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsid
There is no reload, because we do not fully support it yet (it is a dangerous,
so we are working on code to make it more user friendly).
And it is enabled, because I thought it was before and was not sure what to do.
(In reply to comment #2)
> And it is enabled, because I thought it was before and was not sure what to do.
I don't know how to deal with backwards compatibility, but it should certainly
NOT be on when newly installed (because some package, ehm libvirt, decides that
it needs iscsi-*utils -- bug 436600), moreover when it is broken (bug 436341 and
bug 436175).
About defaulting of the init scripts read
(yes, it is a packaging draft, but it reflects commonly viewed opinion -- see
the discussion of this issue on fedora-devel (e.g.,
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:
Short intro: I've recently begun as an iscsi-initiator-utils co-maintainer and as such I'm looking into all open bugs.
The iscsi services are *vital* for systems using iscsi, so they must be enabled bu default.
iscsi-initiator-utils-18.104.22.1680-0.1.rc1.fc10 which will be in tomorrows rawhide has rewritten initscripts, which will silently exit with a 0 status ASAP when iscsi is not needed. This should migate any complaints as a user no longer sees any messages (when not using iscsi) and the actual time spend in the scripts is negligible (all the detection code does is 1 grep)
These new scripts have been written using the template from:
And meet all initscript guidelines, this I'm closing this.

Jumping with excitement I overheard my mum and dad saying that we were going to have a BIG family dinner!When we have big family dinners it's not just a 7 people it's like with like 11 people!!!! Now on with the story.
When arriving at home from Pak'n Save my brothers and I cleaned up the house so that when the visitors come it's clean.After cleaning I helped my mum with cooking.My mum and I cooked Roasted chicken with onion, peas, carrots, corn , gravy, and lastly my mum's delicious poatato bake .
When all my family had arrived , we sat down and watched Ireland vs The All Blacks.Mostly everyone in my family went for the All Blacks , but I went for Ireland. When the game had finished dinner was ready.
Everyone sat down at the table and did the l prayer.When we had finished doing the prayer my dad said to everyone "Well don't just stand there dig in".When I was sitting down on the table my little cousin Liliana who is 2 was watching me eating, so I asked her if she wanted something to eat and what do you know she was hungry!!
Finally after dinner more of my cousins arrived.We were all bored so we played a game called Blinds Men Bluff.Ok so if you're wondering what Blinds Men Bluff is it is when you have a blindfold and you put it over someone's head so that they can't see.So that's what my brother had to do.
Ok, so my brother said to everyone clearly to not run around or move in the game , and to not throw anything .Unfortunately we didn't listen , and that caused an accident. My silly cousin Natascha was on the bed trying to run away from my brother Caleb , my brother must have pushed her which made her push the window out which caused it to crack.My mum and dad said that we had learnt our lesson to never play in the rooms again.
At the end of the night I had learnt my lesson, but to tell the truth I really did enjoy myself. Every time my family come over I really enjoy it and always have fun.

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS| THE Track and Field EDITION
Last week I went on my first trip to Nigeria! I was sent there for the Warri Relays, a track meet that Nigeria hosts every year. Last year, I wasn't able to go due to visa complications, so it was a huge relief to be able to join my teammates this time around and join them on the adventure.
This meet actually came immediately after I spent a whole week with my teammate, Flings, traveling to meets in New York and Canada. As most of you don't know, I'm the type of person that always forgets something or other when I go on a trip, no matter how hard I try to remember everything. To combat that, I now sit down, make a list, and check and re-check said list to make the chances of me forgetting something reduce by at least 91%. By the time I had to pack for my trip to Nigeria I felt like a had packing down pat! So, now that I've gained my professional packer status, I decided to share some track and field travel essentials and pro-tips for track meets.
- ALWAYS HAVE YOUR RACE KIT ON HAND. ALWAYS. Whether you're traveling by car, bus, train, or plane, there's always the chance that something might happen to your luggage. The #1 thing you'll need to compete is your race kit. I always carry my kit (race top, shorts, and spikes) in my backpack/carry-on so I know that even if I lose everything else, I'll still be able to race, which is the whole point of the trip. Carry your race kit on you! Trust me, it's worth it.
- DON'T STARVE. A common complaint athletes have is that they can't really control the food choices they have depending on their location. It can really throw off your eating habits, which can affect your body and the way you perform. The best way to combat this? Bring your own snacks. You can't control everything you eat, but if you have control over how you get some extra nutrients you know you need, it can really make all the difference.
- ENTERTAIN YOURSELF. On my way to Nigeria, I found myself traveling alone. I didn't mind, though. I listened to some music, and read a book to get through all the waiting and long pane rides. Bring something to make those long lines speed by.
- NO OUTLETS? NO WORRIES! One thing I've been loving is my portable charger. It can charge my phone fully about three times before I need to find an outlet to re-charge it. It always seems like while I'm traveling, outlets either disappear, or never work, so I just bring my own power with me. You can find these everywhere nowadays, and I highly recommend making this investment.
I'm sure there are many more tips to keep in mind, but those were just the ones that I always make sure to follow whenever I plan on traveling farther than a 10-mile radius from my apartment :P
Safe Travels!
Think I missed something? What are some things that you always carry with you when you travel?
Let me know in the comments below!
Lets be friends! Stay connected on my social media networks

Our Companies
2011 was a time when all media producers were mostly seeking to protect their investments and felt threatened by the uncertain economic times, coupled with the fast pace of the technological development. Yet Mihai Craiu reframed the industry once more, by founding two more ambitious media products: Dobrogea TV (the main territorial TV channel in Dobrogea) and the Television School 'Tudor Vornicu', a New Media Lab at the forefront of fusion journalism, with focus on Social TV.

Special Events
Events have their very important place in emerging markets. In a business environment highly dependent of the human factor, in a culture based on concise, implied communication and human interaction, such as the Romanian one, attending events is the heart of your business and a Partner trained to develop such storytelling events is priceless. On Emerging Markets, even PR events need an innovative element, worthy of an "editorial". The art of creating and generating happenings to promote your business objectives is at high rank here.

There's freedom in doing things your way, in being independent and this freedom often leads to spectacular, outstanding performances. As all good things, however, this freedom has its price: the price of permanently surpassing one's limits.
