Block Island
Earth : North America : United States of America : New England : Rhode Island : South County (Rhode Island) : Block Island
New England has always been one of America's many summer destinations of choice. Every year couples and families flock to the coast looking for seafood, sun, and a strip of sandy beach to call their own. They stay in bed and breakfasts on Martha's Vineyard, rent houses in Cape Cod, and stretch out on Narragansett beaches. But more and more these past few years there has been a new destination for those embarking on their annual summer exodus; Block Island. Located twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island, Block Island has recently become one of the most appealing New England summer hotspots. This newfound popularity is due in large part to Block Island's easygoing, low-key atmosphere, which benefits from miles of beautiful beaches, numerous bars and restaurants, and consummate natural beauty. Many people go to Block Island for the weekend, and in this short period of time it is all too easy to miss out on some of the best aspects of the Block Island experience. Hopefully this guide will provide prospective visitors with an idea of how to best spend their weekend on Block Island so that they get as much as possible out of their stay. For a detailed itinerary of what to do while visiting Block Island see 3 Days in Block Island.
During the winter months Block Island is the very picture of a sleepy, seaside New England town, with a local population of around nine hundred people. In the summer, the island's population explodes to nearly ten thousand at any given time, and many thousands more on busy weekends or holidays. Now, many people can't strike a balance between "Block Island the quiet hamlet" and "Block Island the wild tourist destination", and quite often their vacations suffer for this. I see too many families getting off the ferry, streaming over to Ballard's for Bud Lite, crab cakes, and three hours in the sand, and then streaming back onto the ferry, perhaps never knowing how much more the island truly has to offer. The real Block Island experience should be a perfect synthesis of lazing on the beach, exploring the town of New Shoreham and some of the incredible natural vistas the island has to offer, and indulging in good food and drink at the best of Block Island's restaurants. As long as you are respectful and manage not to be completely obnoxious, the locals will respond in kind and you will no doubt have an extremely pleasant stay. Although the tourist attractions are definitely a wonderful experience, one of the best aspects of the island is the geography itself. Forty percent of Block Island has been set aside for conservation, and should not be overlooked!

Get around
Most areas of Block Island are easily within walking distance of each other but there are plenty of other modes of transportation. If you prefer to travel by car you can flag down a taxi or rent one on the island. For a nominal charge, the visitor may bring a bicycle on ferries that serve the island. Bicycles and Mopeds are also available to rent and are so convenient that you may rent one as soon as you walk off the ferry. The "traditional" ferry from Point Judith, RI is the only ferry that takes cars. (For rates and schedule,Interstate Navigation [10])
By taxi
Bicycle Moped and Car Rental Services
There are many different sights to see around the island during the summer. All you need is a gorgeous summer day and a pair of walking shoes in order to enjoy all of the sights that Block Island has to offer. Here is a list of some of the main attractions on the island:
Although Block Island mainly consists of 17 miles (27 km) of beachy shore there is still plenty to do:
The Empire Theatre- The Empire theatre may be the best and worst place to see a movie, because it is one of the oldest in all of Rhode Island. The theatre is one screen and it shows two films a night, on days that it is raining it will show its "Rainy Day Matinee". If you are going to the Empire Theatre for a strictly viewing experience than you are going for the wrong reasons. The Empire Theatre is like stepping into a movie theatre time machine, before there was stadium seating and massive screens. Instead the seats are on a flat surface and the screen rolls down over a stage right after the musical entertainment is over, which consists of man or woman playing the piano as viewers file in. Throughout the entire film you really get that "Old School" theatre feel as you watch. It is strongly recommended that you do get there early enough to get a good seat, because the viewing from some areas is pretty poor, but overall the experience is worth it, especially to true theatre buffs.
Lucky for anyone with a love of shopping, Block Island is filled with quaint little gift shops:
Ballard's is also known for the exciting events they hold during the summer. Many musicians and entertainers go to perform at there and when they do the place really gets packed. Ballard's also host weddings so people who are looking for a wedding by the beach are almost always pleased when they go to Ballard's for that special night that they want to remember. Above all else Ballard's is just a fun place to enjoy your day on the beach. You can swim, tan, play volleyball and just relax. Ballard's gives you a Island getaway feel, when its just a $15 ferry ticket away.
Stay Safe
Block Island is by and large a very safe locale, but as with any place there are certain precautions you can and should take to stay out of harm's way. Far and away the most common causes of injury on Block Island are careless bicycle and moped riders. If you plan on renting bikes or mopeds, make sure that you wear your helmets, follow the rules of the road, and absolutely do not drink while operating them. Otherwise, just be aware that other vacationers might not follow these guidelines, and stay alert when on main roads. When on the beach it's wise to wear sunscreen and exercise care when swimming; Block Island's waters are usually calm, but riptides are not unheard of and swimmers have been known to come across the occasional jellyfish. While there is a limited amount of crime that occurs on Block Island, there are still precautions you should take in order to keep you, your friends and your family safe. Be aware that because Block Island is still a tourist attraction, there are some instances of drunken disorderly conduct, minor bar fights and some petty theft. This is restricted almost entirely to the late night bar scene and major holidays. Other than that though, Block Island is incredibly safe for your family and friends.
Most travel to Block Island through maritime means. Another important matter is boating safety. Folks should, of course, always have U.S. coastguard approved personal flotation devices, both on shore and off shore vests, on their vessels. Be sure to have a fire extinguisher on board your vessel in case of emergency fire. Children must always wear fitting personal flotation devices when on the water. Vessels must be registered and have a hull ID. Remember to use caution and always follow the navigation rules as per the handbook of Rhode Island Boating Laws & Responsibilities[[45]]. Be aware of possible weather emergencies too.
Get Out
There are two ferry services for Block Island that go to and from Point Judith every day of the week and throughout the year, the high-speed ferry and the traditional ferry. Both ferries allow for roll-on/roll-off. There is also a ferry that travels to Newport and New London, CT every Monday through Sunday but only operates between the dates July 1st and September 6th. For more information see the heading in section.

2013 President's Environmental Youth Awards
The PEYA program promotes awareness of our nation's natural resources and encourages positive community involvement. Since 1971, the President of the United States has joined with the EPA to recognize young people across the U.S. who are protecting our nation's air, water, land, and ecology. It is one of the most important ways the EPA and the Administration demonstrate commitment to environmental stewardship efforts created and conducted by our nation's young people. One outstanding project from each region is selected for national recognition. Projects are developed by young individuals, school classes (K-12), summer camps, and youth organizations to promote environmental stewardship. Thousands of young people from all 50 states and the U.S. territories have submitted projects to the EPA for consideration. Winning projects in the past have covered a wide range of subject areas, including:
-environmental science projects
-recycling programs in schools and communities
-construction of nature preserves
-major tree planting programs
-videos, skits, and newsletters that focus on environmental issues
Evaluation results consistently demonstrate that the experience is a life-changing event for many of the young people and sponsors who participate.
The annual deadline for the regional award program is December 31.

Environmental Vandalism on Kilmer Creek?
25 comments:
I find it disgusting that the DNV does not enforce its bylaws nearly enough. If they are not enforced, they will be ignored as they are here.

I found this post related to the Kilmer Creek vandalism on a ClubTread forum:
Kilmer creek vandalism - North Vancouver - Posted - 01/31/2005
"My dad is a frequent hiker of the Baden-Powell area between Mountain Hwy & Mosquito Creek and he noticed last week that several portions of Kilmer Creek were dammed off and rerouted into the surrounding area, including the bush. He undammed the area - this included moving several large rocks and mounds of dirt. The next day, he discovered that the damage had been redone. He called the District of North Vancouver Trails manager who met him at the area of destruction. They walked up the creek bed & found several other areas that had been rerouted, which they repaired. The trails manager stated that he would return the next day (Saturday) to monitor. We aren't sure what the purpose of this vandalism is, **but the landslide risk was increased** due to this person's action.
In this area, my dad ran into a man a few times in this area who we believe may be responsible for the destruction - he is in his early 40's, Scotch accent and brings his young son with him. He has stated that he is an expert in fish management & that the rerouting will help the fish (?????) If you see this destruction, please fix it or call the district of North Vancouver trails manager. Thanks"
Hope this info might help.

Mr. Carter took me on a tour of (what was) the Kilmer Creek Trail yesterday and I was appalled by the erosion damage. He pointed out where district workers spent signifigant time re-diverting the Creek to its natural flow which he says will likely be diverted again at DNV taxpayers expense.
It seems Parks are just spinning their wheels using the same old approach that hasn't worked since they installed the first 2 signs around 2005.
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 10:37:00 am
Mountain biking is also allowed on this Kilmer Trail. That can't help the trail much, either.
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 11:16:00 am
"Out of sight, out of mind" seems to be the adage followed by the DNV and it isn't working.
I would encourage anyone who sees anything untoward in our forests to send a picture to John on this blog. Also, I know he would love some pictures of some of the good work being done in our forests. Unfortunately, I don't see too many of these pictures. Bring them on!

Yes dammit! The District should be front and centre and should be laying criminal charges against... um... SOMEONE!
Mocreal - can I assume that your dad got he Scottish guy's name and reported him to the appropriate officials?
I'm sure that if the District hired a handful of rent-a-cops to keep the area under surveillance for a couple of weeks everyone would be happy to see their tax dollars spent that way?
It is really unfair to blame the District for not policing every inch of every trail. It makes a lot more sense for trail users to take some responsibility.
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 4:37:00 pm
I found the post on ClubTread, Barry. It was not written by me and posted back in 2005, but it proves this problem has been going on unsolved for a very long time.
I can assure you, signs don't work. And if DNV were serious about enforcing various environmental bylaws, they would have drained the NSMBA's pretty little bank account by now...
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 5:01:00 pm
Trail users should definitely be vigilant, but what about some motion activated cameras at the trouble spots? Could provide some evidence and maybe the antics of a few Racoons.
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 5:54:00 pm
Glad the mountain bikers aren't getting blamed for everything.
- Tuesday, December 17, 2013 7:19:00 pm
Good idea about the cameras. I don't think they cost too much these days. Let's do it. We could possibly use the images as they were used after the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot.

Excellent idea about use of cameras, as long as they won't get stolen:

- Wednesday, December 18, 2013 12:05:00 pm
Let's get the cameras in the forest. At a cost of about $100 each they can be embedded in trees (no long-term damage to the trees) and replaced and then monitored.
The company doesn't guarantee the woodpeckers won't go after them.
How about 20 cameras throughout the DNV mountainbiking area?

We are also seeing so much more ongoing sanctioned (and unsanctioned) environmental vandalism in the woods via the NSMBA TAP and "Shore Corps", yet nobody blinks an eye!
NEW mountain bike trails cut (always NEW trails). Collectively, the NSMBA and their corporate cohorts are inflicting far more environmental damage to our forests than any one thing happening on Kilmer Creek. Where, then, is the outrage?
Meanwhile, after a memorandum of agreement was signed by DNV and NSMBA, for more mtber-style "trail care", the X-treme mtbers are singing their off-key tune, like everything else they do...These are, after all, DNV's classy wreckreational "stewards" of our woods, kiddies!
Merry Christmas & a Happy? New Year!

Mocreal, please start your own discussion on Mountain biking and stop hijacking this thread.
- Friday, December 20, 2013 2:36:00 pm
Mocreal is not hijacking this thread. She is a breath of fresh air.
- Friday, December 20, 2013 2:50:00 pm
No she isn't. She's a broken record. This thread is about re-routing a creek, not mountain biking. A topic that she has beaten to death here.
- Friday, December 20, 2013 7:04:00 pm
Rerouting creeks, rerouting trails, diverting drainage patterns. What is the difference? It all damages the forest one way or another. They all cause erosion, land slumps, and other nasty things. Everyone thinks they know what is best for the forest, and they know zip all! Leave it alone! That is mother nature's best advice.
- Friday, December 20, 2013 9:32:00 pm
Monica should be praised for her tenacity on this issue. The degradation of our forests at the hands of a small special-interest group is not going away and is not being seriously addressed, so how can you say it has been "beaten to death"?
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 7:08:00 am
The recreational impact on the forests around North Vancouver is nothing compared to the damages caused by other commercial interests such as forestry and hydro projects. At least the mountain bikers are doing something about maintaining the trails. What maintenance are the other groups (hikers, dog walkers, horseback riders, etc.) doing? Perhaps everyone should be forced out of the forests and indoors perched in front of TV's and video games. Would that make you happy? Or would you prefer everyone go use the forests in someone else's backyard so that you can have the North Shore all to yourselves?
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 11:50:00 am
- Mocrael said...
Mountain biking trail "maintenance" is the biggest joke on us all, and DNV fell for the ruse, too. All I see is new mtb trails being cut for frivolous and convoluted reasons (Lower Griffen Climbing Trail, for instance)
The fact is mountain bikers riding those trail four seasons a year, indiscriminately, have eroded and degraded those trails beyond any kind of ability to maintenance or repair the trails. The NSMBA keep building NEW trail reroutes, bypasses, realignments, refittings, etc. All of it unsustainable, and amounting to DNV-"sanctioned" vandalism (shocking behaviour of soiling one's own nest, DNV), when you take in consideration what the NSMBA TAP and "Shore Corps" do to create the NEW "finished product". Don't keep whitewashing ecological vandalism, mtb trailbuilders.
The NSMBA may be able to fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but they can not fool all of the people all of the time.
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 12:35:00 pm
So take your cause up with the District and, please, stop hijacking threads here with your peeves. Start your own thread to discuss your issues regarding the NSMBA.
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 1:09:00 pm
As per usual, Monica has no idea what she is talking about. It must be a sad, lonely life, living it hating one group so vehemently.
I'm no spokesperson for the NSMBA but the Lower Griffin climbing trail was done to alleviate concerns over the original trail being too close to houses on the North of McNair and to make it more sustainable in the long run.
Also, you do realize that the forest on Fromme is not old growth? Have you seen photos of what it used to look like in the early 20th century?
Just wondering, how many hours a day do you spend trolling NSMB, clubtread, etc, trying to dig up information you can try to use in your anti-mountain bike crusade?
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 1:30:00 pm
Check out Trevor Carolan's column in tomorrow's North Shore News. He recognizes the problems we are facing.
- Saturday, December 21, 2013 5:45:00 pm
A) The whole north shore was clear cut 100 years ago.
B) As far a forest management goes its a mess. Plus the usage by the bike community is a tiny sliver of land on the whole of the North Shore.
C) Monica how many trees were destroyed building your house on the forest edge? Maybe tear down your house and replant? Set a good example.
Outdoor tourism is a huge part of the local economy.
Have a nice day

I think so too. And if he isn't already the best in the world, Gino Malkin will be the best in a year or two. I have never seen, since the days of Mario, a guy who is so explosive with the puck. Even more explosive than Crosby is.
There is a player in Washington I think is just a tad more explosive than # 71.
I also think Sidney is more explosive with the puck than Malkin...but Malkin does have a much better slapshot.
The most explosive player I can remember was Bure. He was unbelievable. Selanne when he first came into the league as well.
I actually agree with you on those 2. Bure's speed and shot were one of a kind...too bad he got hurt and had to call it quits. Selanne has lost speed but still has one hell of a snapshot.
For ol' times memory sake, check out the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th goal that Bure has in this game.
The Finnish Flash, and The Russian Rocket. The extra-awesome players always have alliteration worked into their nicknames somehow =p
And goal #4 = sick.
Crosby centering Selanne and Bure in their primes.... now that line would be hard to see at some points.
Yea... or Malkin centering that line.

NWSB Writer Blair Thomas talks about Mike Riley, head coach of the Oregon State Beavers football program. Upon his first arrival in 1997-98, Riley went 8-14 in a pair of seasons, and went 5-6 in just his second season as head coach in 1998, before leaving to coach the San Diego Chargers in 1999. The significance of a five-win season cannot be lost in the defense of Riley because of the inability to get one in Corvallis during a quarter-century before his arrival.

The Abbott government is promising a long-awaited code of conduct with Indonesia will lead to unprecedented intelligence sharing between Indonesia and Australia.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is heading to Indonesia to sign the joint understanding with her counterpart Marty Natalegawa on Thursday, almost a year after ties were strained by a spying scandal.
Indonesia suspended co-operation on people smuggling, defence and intelligence sharing with Australia after revelations Canberra spied on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, his wife and inner circle.
The agreement broadly stipulates that both nations won't use their intelligence resources to harm the other's interests.
Far from reverting to normal, Ms Bishop claims the code will in fact elevate Australia's security ties with Indonesia to a new level.
"This will lay the groundwork for even greater cooperation in the area of intelligence sharing," she told parliament on Wednesday.
"Indeed, our intelligence agencies will be coordinating at a higher level than ever before, including in relation to the issue of foreign fighters."
ASIO boss David Irvine agreed, adding the long and close co-operation between Australia and Indonesia on police and intelligence matters had not been impacted by the recent strains in the relationship.
"It's never really been interrupted. It will continue," he told the National Press Club.
Although intelligence and police cooperation has been officially frozen, the neighbours have been acting against the threat of Islamic State (IS) terror in tandem.
As Prime Minister Tony Abbott this month announced scaled up counter-terror laws, Dr Yudhoyono officially outlawed Indonesian support for IS to counter a small swell of support for the group.
Indonesia's National Counter-terrorism Agency (BNPT) Jakarta bureau chief Anwar Sanusi says the new agreement with Australia can only help intelligence sharing in the region.
However, he stresses the political situation has never impeded cooperation on matters as critical as terrorism.
"Counter-terrorism is different to political matters," he told AAP on Wednesday.
"That's why we are continually cooperating with many countries like the US, Russia, France, China, and others including Australia, so that there's no space for terrorism in this world."
The federal government says about 160 Australians are fighting with terrorist groups in the Middle East, while Indonesia suspects around 60 of its citizens are involved.
Australia is discussing expanding joint counter-terrorism and law enforcement measures with a number of regional partners also grappling with the threat of home-grown terrorism and radicals returning from foreign battlegrounds.


text: I figured out how to fool APS-Installer to install older version of Joomla for our shop1 server. Since we usually install the latest Joomla on www1 server node it was not a problem that APS did that by default but on shop1 we only install the older Joomla 2.5 because Virtuemart does not support the newer (non-LTS) version. Solution turned out to be quite simple. All you have to do is over write the file that APS uses for installation on the "cache" folder. In this case it was this file. /usr/local/ispconfig/server/aps_packages/joomla-3.1.1-5.app.zip Just replace that with the downloaded older version from here... http://apscatalog.com/1.2/Joomla!/j...er=SofCloudIT&os=undefined&platform=undefined "If it's stupid but works, it ain't stupid." PS. You have to find out the new file-name and replace the file every time admin updates the APS Package list.

Dang! Took my first two (Cuckoo's Nest is good too..).
Fight Club is one rare movie that's BETTER than the book. I really want Choke to get put to movie form. Chuck's sold options on all his novels, so we'll see.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a good movie, if nothing on the book... I can't wait for The Rum Diary to hit theaters.

Irony of ironies: The first open mayoral election in the era of Boston as a majority-minority city will pit two candidates of Irish descent against each other.
But this won't be an old-fashioned Boston neighborhood race. Rather, it will be a campaign of ideas, causes, and constituencies spread across the city.
City Councilor John Connolly made it to the final not because he was the favorite of Irish neighborhoods but because he ran a strong ideas campaign. His principal idea, of course, is the need to bring big improvements, including a longer day, to the Boston Public Schools. What he promised wasn't the incrementalism of Tom Menino's era, but rather more dramatic change. Connolly campaigned hard on that platform, making it clear throughout that he was willing to battle the recalcitrant Boston Teachers Union to get it done.
Marty Walsh, the heavy favorite of the unions, ran as a pragmatic, deal-making former labor leader, one who can use his bona fides with the movement to win reasonable deals for the city. That was enough in the preliminary; whether it proves persuasive to New Boston in the final remains a key question.
Despite some highly credible showings, the other candidates simply didn't catch fire. In some cases, as with neighborhood activists John Barros and Bill Walczak, whose campaigns crackled with plans and proposals and data, it was simply too much of a leap without the springboard of an elected office. Although Mike Ross's notion of making Boston more of an international city was appealing, his larger themes were sometimes at cross purposes. Rob Consalvo, who ran a Menino-like campaign of smaller notions and nostrums, seemed to miss the city's desire for change after 20 years of the incumbent.
Charlotte Golar Richie and Felix Arroyo, meanwhile, miscalculated by basing their campaigns on overly optimistic assumptions about identity politics.
As with so many prosecutors, Dan Conley, a middle-age hopeful who emphasized his experience and steady hand at the tiller as he ran in a youthful field, never quite made the transition from lawman to plausible mayor.
Still, it was civil, interesting, credible campaign, one worthy of both the city and the moment.Scot Lehigh can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @GlobeScotLehigh.

Selena Gomez Covers 'Mr. Saxobeat' in Panama Concert
Selena Gomez really treated her fans in Panama. In addition to having them choose her outfit, she also put on one heck of a show! Not only did the starlet perform her own hits, she also covered the 2011 Alexandra Stan smash 'Mr. Saxobeat.'
Gomez implored her fans via Twitter to help her choose which sparkly get up to don at her show. "Which one should I wear tonight? #WOTsouthamerica I'm only supposed to wear one but I want both!" Tough life, Sel!
She wound up donning the sassy, sexy red number for her show. The Panama concert was the first stop on Gomez's 'We Own the Night' South American tour. "Thank You Panama for an amazing welcome to South America, what a great crowd. #WOTNSOUTHAMERICA," Gomez tweeted.
Prior to Panama, Gomez performed in Puerto Rico to kick off her tour — but Puerto Rico technically isn't in South America. While in Puerto Rico, fan admiration wasn't the only kind Gomez took in. She also went on a hot date with boyfriend Justin Bieber!
Gomez has a packed schedule ahead of her. Once her tour winds down, she has her burgeoning movie career to keep her busy. She's starring in Harmony Korine's edgy 'Spring Breakers' film as well as 'Hot Mess,' in addition to producing and starring in a remake of 'The Sky Is Everywhere.' She also has a UNICEF trip planned where she'll be heading to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Phew! We got tired just reading that.

What people say about this ECCO Men's Boston Lace-Up,Black,43 EU/9-9.5 M US?
so far so good
just got these so can't really comment on durability, which is probably 1 of 2 most important factors when spending this much on shoes. I can say they are comfortable. Just wanted to give my input on the size. I usually wear a size 10 US. when you look at sizing charts, 10 US translates to a 44. I even went into a high end shoe store recently and they had this machine/computer that you stand on, and it tells you your size, it said 44 exactly. Whenever I've tried on 44 Ecco's in the past though, they've always been too big. So, I ordered these in 43 and they are definitely not too small. I would say they fit perfectly, but i could imagine them being even a little bit smaller (however I gotta believe that 42 would be too small). Point being, if you wear a 10 US, I suggest 43, or maybe even going to a shoe store first and seeing how a 42 fits – which I will probably do when i have a chance.
Update – 6 months: Still extremely comfortable. Still in good shape. One…

For Lego fans, this might be a childhood dream come true.
An official Lego movie that brings the bricks to life is due out next year and the first trailer hit the web on Tuesday.
The 3D-animated film tells a story of Emmet, an ordinary Lego mini-figure who is mistakenly identified as the most powerful person and the key to saving the world. Emmet is then sent on an involuntary mission to defeat an evil ruler, a journey for which he is "hopelessly and hilariously underprepared," according to The International Business Times.
"Parks and Recreation's" Chris Pratt lends his voice to Emmet. The rest of the voice cast includes Morgan Freeman, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, and Alison Brie.
"The Lego Movie" is directed by duo Chris Miller and Phil Lord, who also produced "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" and "21 Jump Street."
The film is set to hit theaters in both the U.S. and U.K. in early February, 2014. Check out the trailer below:

Imagine trying to summarize your life in a single logo that can be put on a T-shirt.
Vietnam War Navy bomber pilot Bob "Willard" Williams of North Charleston agreed to the challenge recently. He spent a couple days before Christmas in a small room aboard the Yorktown shuffling through his memories.
The defining memory for Williams was July 29, 1967. A plane on deck of the aircraft carrier Forrestal accidentally fired a missile that hit a fuel tank, causing a fire and series of explosions that killed 134 sailors and destroyed 21 aircraft, including the one flown by future Arizona Sen. John McCain, who escaped the fire and was shot down three months later.
Williams was sitting in an A6 Intruder waiting for takeoff when the explosions started. A hole was blown in his wing before he jumped out to help others.
"I do not wear the mantle of a hero," Williams said. "All gave some; some gave all."
Williams and graphic artist Andrew Barton came up with "Fated to fly" - a childhood dream, a lifelong career, a story of survival, a metaphor for aspiring to something beyond your everyday experience.
{{tncms-asset app=editorial" id=3c53b2bd-2598-5547-87e5-39bcd133b17b"}}
The result will become part of a collection from veterans around the nation.
The project, called "50 States: Veterans + United," is the effort of Michigan artist Tyler Way and Navy veteran Michael Hyacinthe. They formed a nonprofit organization called [Has Heart] to help veterans bridge the communication gap with civilians.
The images will be displayed in an art show and put on clothing by Chantilly, Va.-based Alpha Industries, a seller of military-style apparel.
Musing over his memories for the image, Williams said people sometimes ask him if he thought the Vietnam War was right.
"You have to think it's right (at the time)," he said. "I've thought about this over the years and never really come up with a good answer. It's survival."
He was taught to compartmentalize, to focus on the mission, the building that was the target and not the people inside.
Pilots were shown a training video called "Sex and the Naval Aviator." The provocative title was just to get their attention. It was really about how to keep their minds off what they were doing.
Williams became a commercial pilot while continuing to serve in the Navy Reserves, moving around the country until he ended up in North Charleston. He is a frequent volunteer at the Yorktown at state-owned Patriots Point, one of South Carolina's biggest visitor attractions.
His second choice for a T-shirt slogan was this one: "No one wants peace more than those fighting the war."

The back four of Tottenham Hotspur's 11 seems the strongest it has been for a while now, but there may be a problem Andre Villas-Boas.
Spurs had a few defensive issues before the start of the season and now it seems to have arisen again as five players could be fighting it out for the two centre-half positions.
Younes Kaboul has been out and sidelined for most of the season due to a knee injury but he has returned to training with the Lillywhites. However, Vertonghen and Dawson have been very prolific in recent weeks and have been solid at the back. However, with the return of Kaboul we look at who deserves to lead the Spurs back-line.
Younes Kaboul
Kaboul was one of the best defenders in the league last season, so much so that he got a call up from the French national team, showing the sheer quality that he possesses. Younes has a great amount of speed that his team-mate Kyle Walker believes he is the quickest player over 100m in the team.
Now most fans would be expecting Walker, Aaron Lennon or Gareth Bale to be contending for this, but this is not the case.
For Villas-Boas, Kaboul would be such a gem in the back four of the defence because AVB is infamous for his defensively high line which has been effective in many of his teams. Kaboul may not be back quite yet, but he is a great prospect.
Jan Vertonghen
This man has become a fan favourite at the Lane as he arrived from the Eredivisie for £9.6m in the summer. Jan also has a lot of pace about him to help with the high line that the reformed Spurs team play and this has helped them gain points from teams such as Arsenal and Inter Milan.
He is also very good in the air meaning he can be a great threat going forward as goals are always welcomed by the fans. Another part of Vertonghen's game that he is so good at is the ability to pick out a pass, as he can reach a player to put them through on goal.
Michael Dawson
The captain of the team from the Lane almost left in the summer to QPR because of the amount of centre backs challenging for the two positions. He has not got the pace that Jan and Younes may withhold, but he holds the line of the back four so well, therefore giving Spurs a well disciplined side.
Dawson's speed may be one of the main factors in AVB's decision as the high line will not work if the back four cannot get back with pace.
Villas-Boas' problems are not totally negative but they pose an issue for him as they need to decide who is right for the back four. The arrival of Lloris in the summer has given Spurs the ability to play a high line because he has such great speed and is able to get out to the defender with confidence.
Spurs will always remember their captain and well loved defender, Ledley King who retired because of a knee injury. He was one of the quickest centre backs of his time and most fans will remember the incident where he rushed back to cut out Arjen Robben's. Spurs need another player like him, but without the knee injury – Vertonghen may have the potential to take that prize.

Jumping off a cliff
… and assembling your plane on the way down
The illustration might seem absurd, but it conveys the entrepreneurial experience quite well according to Bill Wales, assistant professor of entrepreneurship at JMU. "You either make it, or you don't," he says.
It's all about problem solving
At its core, entrepreneurship is about problem solving. Having identified a problem, the entrepreneur goes into action mode. "You have to come up with a solution and put it out there. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. You don't really know until you observe the solution that you have," Wales says.
The professor has definitely solved the problem of how to effectively teach the basics of the rough and tumble experience of entrepreneurship.
Wales began his JMU career in 2009. "I came to JMU because it's a balanced school. It emphasizes and rewards both research and teaching," he says. He wanted hands-on experience to be a large part of his teaching the MGT 372 Entrepreneurship course. In Wales' classes there are no tests, at least not the typical kind. "The test is getting out there and learning from experience," he says.
Learn by doing
And he gets his students out there in a hurry. Spending a great deal of time in business planning early in the process often sets entrepreneurs up for failure, not success. Wales explains the irony, "People tend to focus their activity and mindset on planning rather than doing. What the entrepreneur needs to be doing is going out there and working with their product." Sound scary? Like trying to build your plane before you hit the pavement?
Not to worry. Wales' tactic works quite well. "I use a portfolio approach in the course," he says. "Students can start as many ventures as they want. It's a valuable way to unleash creativity." Rather than spending time on trying to mitigate all the risks of their ventures before they get started, Wales' method allows students to try and fail. "They get started earlier and are willing to embrace their failures and learn from them," he says. His students quickly redirect their attention to doing it better.
Embrace failures, find success
For instance, Ashley Kehoe ('10) and her team couldn't get the consistency right for the sugar-wax hair removal product they were working on. Solving a problem closer to personal interests moved them from failure to success. Kehoe, an event rider, realized that their sticky concoction was the perfect consistency to adhere to a horse's foot. With therapeutic additions of Epsom Salts and Betadine their sticky sugar product could be an excellent soreness relieving hoof pack for horses with footsoreness. Rebound Hoof Pack was born.
Trial and error is fundamental to entrepreneurship, and Wales is adept at instilling the entrepreneurial mind-set into his students. "I always ask them, 'What's the quickest, fastest, cheapest way you can test your product or service?'" he says. "If it works, then you put extra time into it. Why put a lot of time into something that isn't working?'
Coming up with a great idea is not always the hard part of entrepreneurship. Ski enthusiasts Kyle Houser ('10) and members of his iGroup team realized there was a market for a low-cost, do-it-yourself solution for protecting the consumer's investment in expensive sports equipment. Then the real challenge began. Repeated experiments, failures and formula adjustments finally led to Cool Wax, a ski and snowboard protectant wax applied over metal edges to prevent rust and deterioration. "That's the entrepreneurial process, figuring out how you can solve a problem in the market, and then how you can solve the problems that arise as you develop the product," says Houser.
Wales acts as a small business coach for his students. One of his favorite techniques is to ask them questions and guide them to the answer. It's the reverse of the traditional teaching method of pushing information to students. "I found that students learn significantly more when they are pulling the information," Wales says.
"In many entrepreneurship courses, you have a grandiose business plan at the end, but it is not based in reality," says Wales. "The businesses are dead before they take off. In this class, I have found that if students have created a venture that has taken off, they will continue it past the class end."
Indeed they do.
Kehoe has taken Rebound on the road, or more specifically, to horse shows and competitions. Rebound is now endorsed by Karen O'Connor, four-time U.S. Olympic Eventer, several other members of the U.S. Olympic team, and one member of the Canadian Eventing team; and the list is growing. Cool Wax has not only been successful at the local ski resorts of Bryce and Massanutten, it has sold out in Lake Tahoe, and in Utah and Colorado ski resorts. "We'll take it as far as we can," says Houser.
Creating value
However, thriving new ventures are not the only measure of successful entrepreneurs. "Most entrepreneurs find other means of collecting upon their ability to solve problems," says Wales. "No matter what you are doing, your goal is to be creating value. The creation of value occurs when you are able to solve a problem that's important to people, better than currently available solutions," he says. "No matter where you are, your ability to create value is going to define you as a manager of a corporation, as an entrepreneur, as a member of society."
Students clearly realize the reward they've gained from completing the course. Josh Shull ('10) says, "I learned to try quickly, fail fast and move on even faster than you failed. You can be an entrepreneur; you can also be an intrapreneur, solving problems within companies."
That's just the conclusion Wales wants his students to come to — the firm conviction, "I can solve problems." After all, business is based on solving problems.
And so is much of life itself.

Difference between revisions of "Mull"
Revision as of 20:35, 28 November 2012
Mull [7] is an island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It is in the Argyll and Bute Council Area.
Mull is the fourth largest Scottish island, with an area of 338 square miles and a resident population around 2000. Mull itself is the largest of an archipelago of islands which includes Iona, Staffa and Ulva.
Mull is a popular destination for tourists, and also many people from Central Scotland have holiday homes here.
There are many small villages on the roads going around the coast of the island, the more notable of which are:
Other destinations
Although Mull has a Gaelic-speaking community as with the rest of Western Scotland - everyone will speak English. Natives of the area will speak with a strong Highland or Western Isles accent which may be difficult to understand at first.
Get in
Unless you have your own boat or plane, the only way in is on one of the Calmac ferries:
By ferry
Calmac run 3 ferries connecting Mull with the mainland, and one to Iona.
Get around
By car
By far, car is the only realistic method of getting around Mull as public transport is sparse and not very frequent. As in all the Scottish islands, the vast majority of the roads on Mull are single track and are full of blind crests and tight bends - therefore a much more defensive driving technique has to be adopted. The following guidelines should be heeded. Countless accidents happen on Mull every year due to inexperienced mainland drivers not paying attention or driving too fast for the conditions. The two main rules are:
Fuel is hideously expensive on Mull from the few filling stations that exist; as much as 15p-20p per litre more than on the mainland. Due to the stop-start nature of driving on single track roads, and the long distances that need to be driven to get between seemingly close destinations - fuel consumption will be higher. If you are planning to be on the island for any more than a couple of days, it pays to fill up before leaving the mainland.
By bus
Local buses are operated by Bowmans [8], who also run tours. Buses to Tobermory and also to Fionnphort (for Iona) connect with many of he ferries at Craignure. There are no Sunday services in winter.
Mull uses the pound sterling as with the rest of the UK. Note that many of the smaller businesses on the island do not accept credit/debit cards or if they do – will impose additional charges on low value transactions. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that there are few ATMs on the island, and with the exception of the Clydesdale Bank in Tobermory – they are all located within grocers' shops or post offices, so don't rely on them being available when you want them, and most levy withdrawal fees. In short, cash is king so make sure you've got plenty to sustain you during your visit.
Prices on Mull are generally higher than on the mainland, so expect to pay more for consumables such as groceries, alcohol and fuel. If you are going to be self-catering, bear in mind that the level of choice of fresh produce will be more limited, and sporadic in terms of what is available – it sells out quickly at height of holiday season so make sure you get to the shops early. Apart from independents, there are only two national grocery chains operating on the island:
Bed and Breakfasts
Stay safe
Mull is very safe and is largely free of serious crime, and the police presence on the island is relatively sparse. Most crime on the island is of the petty variety, and indeed the locals are known to unofficially deal with "problems" themselves. Police presence increases during summer season to patrol the island's roads which are prone to accidents by inexperienced visiting drivers.
When out rambling or walking on the hills the rules are the same as on the mainland - always inform someone (preferably the police or mountain rescue) of your planned route and what time you are expected to return - and don't forget to inform them of your safe return. Note that mobile phone coverage on the island is extremely patchy so don't rely on it when in the remote areas of the island - Vodafone and O2 are the best of a bad bunch for reliability of reception, with the lesser networks such as T-Mobile/Virgin and Three having virtually no coverage on the island at all.
Ensure you have sufficient food, water and suitbale clothing for any walking trip - the North West of Scotland has notoriously changeable weather and inclement conditions can quickly close in from seemingly nowhere.
Get out

EC: AKD Basic Servo Drives
AKD Basic delivers high-performance with an integrated and easy-to-use single axis motion controller that effectively replaces two devices with one. This servo drive puts the power into the OEM's hands enabling them to further differentiate their machine performance to satisfy the unique demands of their customers without the time and cost associated with vendor customized motion components. The camming, s-curve and free-form motion profile capabilities delivered by the integrated motion controller, combined with the simplicity of Basic programming language and a built-in Program Editor with debugging tools, enables machine builders to easily execute complex processes, faster. Having machine control built right into the drive enables design engineers to eliminate some small to medium PLCs from the machine. This reduces the amount of wiring, number of components and dedicated panel space, enabling OEMs to reduce the cost and size of their machines.
AKD Basic also works well in machines that still require a PLC with multiple interfaces, including digital I/O and Ethernet communications. The integrated high-performance motion controller can also help users run more complex processes and increase machine throughput in single axis applications. The fast interrupt routines and conditional "when" statements ensure fast program execution, which is key for coupling motion and machine control. These routines and "when" statements are scanned every 250 microseconds. Users will also be up and running faster because the easy-to-learn BASIC programming language simplifies program flow control to significantly reduce the time needed to complete project code. Additionally, a Source Code lockout feature helps users protect their machine designs and IP; functionality that further helps machine builders achieve and maintain a competitive advantage.

Trying to pinpoint just one moment in time during my three years at the Alibi is a surprisingly challenging undertaking. On the day I applied for the calendars editor position, I was exactly one day late for the application deadline. I had grabbed an Alibi the night before to search for a job opening and saw the classified for the position ... with an application deadline of that day. Truth be told, the Alibi was the only publication in town this journalism major wanted to work for. I have to go for it, I thought, pulled together a mishmash of a cover letter and résumé and wandered sheepishly into the Alibi's office the next morning. Then-Editor-in-Chief Steven Robert Allen came up to the lobby to greet me with a smile and asked me back to his office to chat. The "chat" turned into an impromptu interview with the entire editorial department. It was my first, real, post-college job interview. I was sweating.
I left wanting to work for the Alibi more than ever—how down-to-earth everyone was, willing to take my day-late application and interview me while sitting on a plush couch in SRA's office. Plus, they had a keg in the rec room. I also left with a writing assignment: Go to a music show and write a review. No problem, I thought. I picked the only show that weekend I could attend: an all-girl punish garage group from Detroit called the Gore Gore Girls playing at Burt's. Just my kind of show. I arrived—sheepishly. This show and what I wrote about it would make or break my opportunity to work at the Alibi. I grabbed a drink and watched the other bands. I can't remember who played, but I do remember spotting then-Music Editor and future Editor-in-Chief Laura Marrich in the crowd. The pressure went up. Not only did my future job depend on this article, but now the person who would be assessing its content was at the show, so I knew I had no room to fake it.
The Gore Gore Girls played. I fixated on every detail. Especially the lead singers' eyes—she glowered and bore into every single person in the audience. Like a wolf staring at sheep, but she was secretly vegetarian. It was a thrasher of a show.
Over the next few days I wrote my review. Read it, reworked it and finally emailed it to Steve. That was it. The one opportunity I had for the one job I wanted in Albuquerque was out of my hands. Two days later, Steve called me to offer me to job. I was stunned. And honored. And in for the experience of a lifetime.
Years later, I told Laura about how worried I was about her being at the Gore Gore Girls show. You nailed her eyes, she had said, your review took me right back to the show. I couldn't image a bigger compliment for my work.
Maybe this is a sappy account of my time at the Alibi, but what the Alibi did for me was help transform me from that sheepish college grad to a professional journalist with a go-get-'em attitude. I wouldn't be where or who I am today without the Alibi. So thanks for chewing me up and spitting me out tough as nails three years later, you crazy monkeys. And here's to another 20 years of kicking ass and taking names.
Since leaving the Alibi in 2008, Amy Dalness spent a few years working as the director of Albuquerque's Teen Arts and Entertainment Center, Warehouse 508, before venturing to train in marital arts in Korea and do some side work as a personal trainer. She works as a copy writer and editor for the marketing department at a locally owned jewelry supply company, and does stunt and production work on independent films on the side. She also coaches swimming and hopes to compete in her first Olympic-length triathlon next year.

- Introduction
- Table of Contents
The research accomplishments of the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (now known as the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research) are as numerous as they are varied. Since the Center was established in 1986 by the National Science Foundation, its mission has been to advance the state-of-the-art in earthquake engineering by conducting systematic and sustained research. The Center's strategy is to assemble multidisciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners from a broad cross-section of the earthquake hazard mitigation community. These teams pursue problem-focused studies and for the last three years have addressed the seismic evaluation and retrofit of the civil infrastructure.
Accordingly, the Center's research and implementation plan involves basic and applied research (knowledge discovery) as well as implementation activities and demonstration projects (knowledge transfer). The plan has four major Projects, one for each element of the built environment i.e. one each for buildings and their nonstructural components, lifelines, and highways (including bridges). Research teams are assembled from various disciplines and include experts in seismology, geotechnical and structural engineering, risk and reliability, and the social sciences. They are drawn from throughout the United States and overseas and comprise approximately 100 investigators from 50 institutions in 20 states and 5 countries. This consortium-approach embraces academia, private industry, professional practice and the public sector (federal, state and local government officials).In addition, the Center has contributed to knowledge transfer through its publications and information services and to education and public awareness.
Since it is not possible to describe every Center accomplishment in a report of this size, a cross-section of activities is given to illustrate the content and range of the Center's achievements. The contributions to lifeline engineering and the development of smart materials and intelligent protective systems for buildings and bridges are noteworthy. But also deserving attention is the effort to integrate social sciences with engineering and to address the socioeconomic impacts of earthquakes in a logical way. Center investigators have also been effective in the code development process and have influenced the shape and direction of future codes and standards for both existing and new construction.
As noted above, this collection of technical papers is a selection of the Center's accomplishments during the period 1986 to 1994. It has been published to inform earthquake hazard researchers, professionals and informed lay persons about the knowledge discovered and/or implemented during these past eight years. Each paper identifies the responsible research team and cooperating institutions. A list of references and related publications is included for further reading.
Recent assessments of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) have again recognized that a complex problem such as earthquake hazard mitigation requires a team of multi-disciplinary specialists to join forces to address the problem in a more effective way than in the past. This team should perform basic research in a variety of disciplines followed by coordinated applied studies and the transfer of results to the practicing community. The National Science Foundation established NCEER eight years ago with this objective in mind and the investment is beginning to yield dividends. The accomplishments described in this report demonstrate the validity of the multi-disciplinary, systematic approach and its importance to advancing the state-of-the-art in a timely manner.

Lingenfelter speaks as part of McCoy Lecture Series
PLAINVIEW - Sherwood G. Lingenfelter, Ph.D., will be the featured speaker at Wayland Baptist University's chapel service at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 24, as part of the McCoy Lecture Series sponsored by First Baptist Church of Plainview and Wayland. The public is invited to join the chapel service.
The McCoy Lecture Series is named after the late Dorothy McCoy, Ph.D., who served as a professor of mathematics and is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Wayland. The lecture series seeks to honor McCoy's passion for missions.
McCoy joined the Wayland faculty in 1949 and taught mathematics until her retirement in 1975. After retiring, McCoy realized a long-time dream of mission work by taking a six-month stint in Malawi, Africa, teaching missionary children. After a year back in Plainview, she traveled to Indonesia to work at a school for missionary children for three months.
McCoy's love of missions eventually bloomed into a mission interest group which she started with a local missionary who was home on furlough. The group met in her home before finding its permanent location at First Baptist Church.
Dr. Lingenfelter serves as professor, provost and senior vice president at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., the largest multi-denominational seminary in the world.
An active participant in missions, Dr. Lingenfelter has studied with short term research projects with the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) in Brazil, Cameroon and Suriname. He has also served as consultant to SIL in Papua New Guinea, Borneo, Philippines, Africa and Latin America.
Dr. Lingenfelter has published several books concerning missions, including Agents of Transformation: A Guide for Effective Cross-Cultural Ministry, Transforming Culture: A Challenge for Christian Missions and Ministering Cross-Culturally.
In addition to Dr. Lingenfelter's extensive academic career that includes teaching at State University of New York and Biola University as well as serving as provost and senior vice president at Biola, he has also served as a licensed elder at the Fellowship of Brethren Churches and a two-year stint as missions pastor in Arbury Hill, Ill., as well as assistant pastor in the First Brethren Church of W. Kittanning, Penn.

In the last few years, a new observational window has opened on the dark sector of matter. The recent flood of experimental results on direct and indirect dark matter detection has potentially revolutionized our view of the nature of dark matter.
As the non gravitational nature of dark matter may well be revealing itself for the first time, initial results have lead to a reexamination of WIMP physics with the aim of enhancing the annihilation cross section through various means, and encouraged theorists to think of more exotic possibilities. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading theorists in this area, as well as representatives of the recent experiments, to encourage the sharing and debating of recent results and approaches to probing and describing the dark matter sector.

The Australian electricity sector is approaching a pivotal point in its evolution. Every part of the value chain is experiencing significant change and while generators, retailers and distributors are facing starkly different challenges, their needs and drive for reinvention are equivalent.
Ann Burns, managing director – Growth & Strategy for Accenture Resources in Asia Pacific, proposes recommendations to "defend, delight and disrupt" customers, that the Australian electricity sector can choose to embrace to ensure they continue to evolve and accelerate.

There's a bonus question up now Marcus refers to his alliance asPossible answers:The MisfitsThe Onion AllianceThe Banana Republicsanyone know the answer..I missed that.http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/fantasy/
They are the onion alliance.
Rudaay, did you notice that you're only about 55 pts. from the #1 spot and we've got 7 people in the top 100 This is a very good start to the season.
I have tried once again to post a comment at CBS for our team and can't. I don't know what is blocking my effort but we are assuming it is something with the security on my computer. I click Add Comment, type my comment and then hit submit. Nothing happens. I've tried hitting Add Comment after I type my message and still nothing. Tomorrow I plan on trying from another computer.
s1QuoteRudaay, did you notice that you're only about 55 pts. from the #1 spot and we've got 7 people in the top 100 This is a very good start to the season.Really?? Wow, I did not know that. Only thing I know is my Wk 2 pts dropped (from 407 in 26th place to 246, in 92nd place). My overall score is 653. Ohhh wait...I just did the math & realize you meant it's my overall score that's 55pts away from #1. Well cool that!! And Big Congrats to the others in the Top 100! Ok...what about our total RFF TRIBE score, which is only 521 pts? How is that number determined? Dont' they add up each of our 17 members' scores?? Sorry, but I am lost w/ that. Our TOTAL score should be in the thousands, not a measly 521! Good that RFF is ranked #30...but why is the number of points so low? I know I'm gonna feel duhhh...after you or someone explains it. It's probably something I'm overlooking that's right in front of my nose!
Well, something isn't right about that then. I know that last year there was something that said have you been invited to join a tribe and to enter the code or something?With this system, what would prevent dishonorable people from joining a team and then not posting just to sabotage that team? Seems strange...Could we switch our tribe to private? Would that help??And s1, PM me if you would like me to message CBS on your behalf, anytime!
Request of all RFF players - If your CBS username isn't the same as or similar to your RFF username please post in this thread who you are so we'll know how to PM each other with Private Team names and passwords. Thank you!!!I be gavinator4
