For those who take seriously the challenge of outdoor activities, beyond that of the casual summer enthusiast, clothing is a serious business. Whether that activity is mountaineering, climbing, hill walking, skiing, multi-terrain biking or canoeing, function not fashion is the only criterion. When a shirt, jacket or pair of trousers cannot just make you comfortable, but could possibly be instrumental in saving your life, then it pays to select a product that has been tested and is intended for use in extreme conditions. In life threatening conditions colour and style become unimportant.
Buffalo was established to meet the needs of those who pursue their pleasure seriously whatever the season or weather. In the late 1970s Buffalo originated the Pertex/Pile concept after developing Pertex with Perseverance Mills Ltd. This densely woven capillary fabric absorbs and disperses moisture very rapidly along its fibres and over the surface area where it evaporates. It is also highly windproof, breathable and repels external moisture, when used in conjunction with the insulating Pile fabric developed by Buffalo. This results in a system which keeps the user warm, whilst wicking moisture away from the body and repelling external moisture. The result ensures that you are comfortable in cold,wet conditions.
Since the origination of this concept these fabrics have been technologically improved and the range of clothing and sleeping bags set the standard in the field. All Buffalo products are tested rigorously over at least a Scottish winter season. All components from zips to thread are likewise thoroughly tested and are the best available. The quality and performance can be judged from the fact that Mountain Rescue Teams, RAF Rescue Teams, Association of Mountain Instructors, Police and Fire Service Emergency teams and Under Water Rescue Teams all buy Buffalo.
There are no superfluous features on any of the Buffalo range; no unnecessary zips and pockets; no unnecessary seams to allow moisture penetration and thus cause chilling; no yearly colour change in an attempt to be fashionable. The aim remains the same: function not fashion - performance and durability being the only criterion.
This range forms the basis for the Buffalo System and is intended for winter use for various specified activities.Depending upon the usage, two basic types of outer fabrics are used :
P5 which is windproof to 35-40mph (56-64kph) and resists rainfall to the rate of 1/2 inch per hour (12.7mm per hour). P6 is windproof to 45-50mph (72-80kph) and resists rainfall to the same rate of 1/2 inch per hour (12.7mm per hour). Apart from windproof performance, P6 is more abrasion resistant and is therefore used in clothing for activities where abrasion is a major concern, such as in ice climbing. Independent tests prove Pertex to be more highly breathable than any other similar fabric available.
None of the Buffalo products are intended to be waterproof. They are proofed to repel water and they keep the wearer warm even when the garment is wet, provided the wearer keeps active, or if stationary, exercises every 10 minutes to prevent their body temperature from dropping. All the lined overhead garments work more efficiently when worn next to the skin. In this way the pile fabric wicks moisture away from the skin more rapidly, where it is then dispersed by the Pertex to the external surface to evaporate and keep the body dry and free from chilling. This is the fundamental principal of the Buffalo system: to keep moisture away from the skin, because in cold conditions if perspiration is not allowed to escape it is retained and rapidly cools to cause chilling and possibly hypothermia.
Although the Mountain Shirt and other Pertex/Pile overhead garments are intended as a base layer to replace various other layers of clothing, it is recognised that in certain circumstances an under layer is sometimes needed. If this is the case that layer must be of a material that is able to disperse moisture away from the skin - it is extremely dangerous to wear an under layer of cotton, as cotton retains moisture and very rapidly chills the body in even moderately cool temperatures and may cause hypothermia.
With all Buffalo overhead garments intended to be worn next to the skin, the side zips are an essential feature, not only allowing access, but to adjust for ventilation, enabling the user to regulate their body temperature. Active usage may require the zips to be lowered to ventilate and keep the body cool, but once at rest the zips should be closed to retain the body heat and keep the wearer warm.
The DP System is so effective at transmitting moisture that the best way of drying it is to wear it!

State Should Boost Ailing Transit Sector, Says Businessman ({{commentsTotal}})
Estonia is leaving its terminals empty and neighboring countries are pulling ahead in the transit game, says Arnout Lugtmeijer, the head of the nation's largest transit company, Vopak E.O.S.
"Companies have made investments to boost their competitiveness, but that is not enough," Lugtmeijer told Eesti Päevaleht on Wednesday, adding that the government need to focus more on the sector.
He said the recent drop in transit cargo volumes have not happened overnight, but the wheels began to turn 6-7 years ago, and while Estonia's volumes keep dropping (20 percent last year), Latvia and Finland have reversed the trend. He said Latvia has managed relations with export states better.
The state is focusing on tourism and IT, but IT could move to India or China in a day, Lugtmeijer said, adding that Estonia has the best coal terminal on the coast of the Baltic Sea and a grain terminal that was the Soviet Union's largest, both standing unused.
Tiit Vähi, ex-prime minister and current head of the supervisory board at Port of Sillamäe, said at the TransEstonia conference on Wednesday that Estonia began losing transit deals in 2007 after the Bronze Soldier riots, which were heavily criticized by Russia.
Vähi calculated the loss to the Estonian economy at around 500 million euros annually.

When it comes to fixing back taxes, discovering the suitable method or professional aid is important. Back taxes needs to be resolved as rapidly as possible to avoid any future penalties, interest, tax liens and tax levies. As more time goes on, IRS actions end up being harsher with each passing week. Fortunately, today there are numerous choices out there to resolve your tax debts, even for those who have no methods of paying at all. Depending on your special financial situation and tax issue will determine exactly what method is best for you. When you owe back taxes, Below are 3 actions you need to take.
The Lake Mills WI 53551 Tax Relief Which You Will Depend Upon
Fortunately is that the Internal Revenue Service has a statute of limitations. The IRS can not continue to gather from our tax customer more than 10 years after the tax was assessed without suing him for an extension, which is very uncommon. When it comes to our $40,000 per year tax client, the taxes owing for 2000 were most likely evaluated at some point around 2002. The IRS has a "drop dead date" in 2012. If it hasn't gathered by that time, our tax customer can likely rest simple that the tax debt for that year is gone.
You can always work with a lawyer so that you can request an option from the company if you do not want this to take place. Nevertheless, this is only possible if you certify. You may require to gather all appropriate info and documents to show that you remain in dire need of financial help.

Discovering a motivated FSBO (for sale by owner) and asking for owner funding is another manner in which can assist you acquire undervalue properties. You can save thousands of dollars of closing costs if you find a seller prepared to provide you owner financing. Value is relative to the overall amount you set out. A FSBO with owner funding can save you about 4-5% of the final purchase price depending naturally on your terms.
Since a tax return has actually already been filed by Internal Revenue Service on behalf of a taxpayer, there need to be reconciliation of facts. This will be prepared by the taxpayer through the assistance of a tax debt relief expert. And substitute submitted return should be changed with the ones prepared by the tax relief professional.
Many individuals cannot file Individual Tax return for a range of factors. Some factors are innocent, although the most common is that individuals cannot pay for to pay the taxes.
Tax Consultant For Settlement Of Lawsuit In Lake Mills Wisconsin 53551
Owing cash to the IRS is not like owing loan to a credit card business. Those are unsecured debts and the loan provider can't do much besides dun its consumers for payment. Often they simply compose these financial obligations off as "uncollected" when a cardholder chooses not to pay. The Internal Revenue Service does not. Since Internal Revenue Service back taxes are considered guaranteed financial obligations, the feared federal agency can and frequently will collect the cash owed to them by any ways required. This includes taking it from your savings account, income, or even taking and offering your belongings.
If there is an error and your personal bankruptcy claim is closed, it is possible to file again. But, understand that you'll only have One Month to re-file after your case has actually been dismissed. If you can justify your mistakes, the judge might decide to extend this stay so you can re-file once again.
The End
The Real reality: There are various ridiculous guidelines to select from concerning Tax Debt. Which indicates you need to understand the cold hard information. Don't let untrustworthy folks offer you on the idea that lowering Internal Revenue Service liability is "a No-Brainer" or that there are "loads" of techniques to repay the Irs. Since it is inaccurate.

Lord Norton of Louth moved Amendment No. 26:
The noble Lord said: According to the Explanatory Notes to the Bill the new order-making power is intended to be wide enough, but no wider than necessary, to deal with regulatory reform measures that the Government wish to achieve. That point is stressed more than once in the Explanatory Notes. As we discussed earlier, the Government wish to achieve
We are told that it is the Government's policy intention to direct the order-making power to the benefit of business, charities, the voluntary sector, individuals, legal persons and the wider public sector. In order to achieve that aim, they propose a wider gateway than that created by the 1994 Act. The Explanatory Notes also say that in order to ensure that the gateway is no wider than necessary to achieve reform of regulatory regimes, the gateway will be limited by two particular requirements.
The first requirement is that the reform must be carried out "with a view to" the "objects" set out in Clause 1(1)(a) to (d). Given the discussion that has already taken place on subsection (c), I am not sure how this constitutes a significant limitation.
The second requirement is that the reform must meet the policy test of "appropriateness". The noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer of Thoroton, told the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee that there is no precise line to be drawn between matters in respect of which it is appropriate to legislate by way of order and other matters in respect of which it would not be appropriate. He said that it would be for Ministers to decide whether or not the use of the power would be appropriate. As my noble friend Lady Buscombe has already said, he used the elephant test: you know it when you see it. I appreciate that both Chambers would be called upon to agree with the Minister that what was before them was, indeed, an elephant. However, I am not sure whether that is a particularly novel safeguard. I would have thought that the test of appropriateness applied to every single measure brought before this Chamber and another place. We have to decide whether a particular measure or procedure is appropriate, and so to subject an issue to that test may be seen as no more than a statement of the obvious. We would be entitled to wonder what sort of government we have if such a test were not applied.
The gateway is therefore not limited other than by Ministers' good intentions and good intentions have to be put alongside the observation of the comment by the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee in paragraph 35 of its Fifteenth Report in the last Session. I quote:
Indeed, as it notes in the concluding paragraph, the Bill could allow much of the legislative programme to be implemented by orders rather than by Bills. That is not the intention of the Government: we have assurances of that. However, those assurances are not sufficient to meet the claim. Some might regard them as necessary, but they are not sufficient to meet the claim that the order-making power is no wider than necessary to obtain the regulatory measures that the
The question then arises: how can the provisions of the Bill be crafted in such a way as to limit them to those necessary, and no more than that, to achieve what the Government wish to achieve? The Minister argues that it is not possible to limit the provisions further and that we must rely on the appropriateness test. To be fair to the Minister, the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee has also said that it has not found a way to limit the provisions of the Bill while at the same time enabling the substantial reform of the statute book which it would facilitate. I acknowledge that.
As I said on Second Reading, it may be an impossible task but we must not let this Bill through simply on the basis that we believe it to be so. I therefore place before your Lordships an attempt to limit the Bill. It is one of two options that I believe we can pursue. The first, embodied in this amendment, is to identify what are in effect class exemptions. The term will be very familiar to the noble and learned Lord the Minister. I have sought to identify Acts covering particular aspects of our constitutional arrangements that should not, indeed must not, be changed by means of secondary legislation.
I appreciate that the amendment is not exhaustive. By that I mean two things. The first is that Acts covering other aspects of our constitutional arrangements, such as devolution, are not, but perhaps should be, included. Secondly, even if we extend the scope of my proposed amendment, it will still not include everything that should be exempt from change by secondary legislation.
This amendment is an initial attempt to limit the scope of the order-making power. I bring it forward to prompt discussion. If there is agreement that there is a move in the right direction, it may be felt that it should be extended to include other class exemptions. Another amendment could be brought forward on Report. As I concede, it will almost certainly be impossible to draw a clear line between what should and should not be excluded. In that respect, the noble and learned Lord is quite right. However, that is not an argument against putting certain areas beyond the reach of the Bill. The Minister will doubtless reiterate that the amendment covers areas that the Government have absolutely no intention of seeking to change through the order-making power of this Bill. In that case, I see no reason why the Minister should not accept the amendment. Furthermore, unpalatable as the truth of the assertion may be to the Minister, I would remind him that no government are in power in perpetuity. The Minister's assurances do not carry forward to a future government.
If the Minister would like an example, since we are very keen this evening on examples, I will offer one. I can think of another one, which should come straight to the minds of Ministers. The Bill as it stands could be used by a future government to achieve the purpose of the Parliament Acts (Amendment) Bill introduced by
Another example has occurred to me, which I suspect will focus the minds of Ministers enormously. It occurred to me that one could use the powers of this Bill. A future Conservative government, if the Ministers were so minded and thought it was in the public interest, could undo the provisions of the House of Lords Act. It imposes a burden on excluded hereditaries. Why not get rid of that burden? As I said, it could be seen as being in the public interest. I do not believe that it is caught by any of the stipulations in the Bill; therefore, it could be done in that way. Some people may believe that that is most unlikely, but it does not have to be likely, merely to demonstrate the truth of the assertion that I am advancing.
If the approach which I have adopted in this amendment--the class exemption approach--is felt to be flawed, the second option would be to exclude from the provisions named Acts listed in a schedule to the Bill. It would be quite possible, for example, to stipulate that any Act passed before 1900 is excluded and then to list all the Acts passed in the 20th century which should also be excluded: the Parliament Acts, the Life Peerages Act, the House of Lords Act, particular Representation of the People Acts, the European Communities Act, and so on. That approach would perhaps provide more flexibility. It may be the approach that we wish to consider if the one adopted in this amendment is not acceptable.
Whichever approach is taken, we must amend the Bill in order to ensure that its provisions justify the claim that the order-making power is no greater than is necessary to achieve the Government's stated intentions. I believe that this amendment at least moves us in the right direction. I beg to move.
Lord Skelmersdale: I put my name to this amendment for a very simple reason. Obviously I agree with the general tenets advanced by my noble friend Lord Norton of Louth. However, the real reason why I put my name to this amendment was the extraordinary comment, as I see it, in paragraph 57 on page 18 of the Explanatory Notes to the Bill, which states:

QUEENSLAND students could be banned from travelling on school buses for up to five days if they repeatedly abuse a plan introduced to keep children safe after Daniel Morcombe's disappearance.
The state government says too many students are blatantly dodging bus fares under a system that was introduced to keep kids safe.
Repeat offenders will now face travel bans, under new guidelines to be rolled out across the state.
Transport Minister Scott Emerson says if a student is banned, they and their parents or guardians will be involved in the process and will be aware they are not allowed to travel on the bus.
"If banned students still attempt to travel and are turned away, it indicates a lack of responsibility on the part of the parents or guardians," Mr Emerson told AAP.
The minister said drivers, operators and the school will also be involved, so everyone will be clear on which student has been refused travel.
"We never said this would be an easy issue to solve, but unlike the previous government we won't stick our head in the sand and will work through the issues," he said.
"While there is no plan to introduce free travel for students, there is already a significant student transport assistance scheme in place and discounts for students."
Repeat instances of unacceptable behaviour such as offensive language or fare evasion may lead to the student being refused transport for up to five school days.
The "no child left behind" principle was brought in after Daniel, 13, disappeared from a Sunshine Coast bus stop in 2003.
A bus that was running late failed to stop for him.
Bus drivers now have to stop for children, regardless of whether or not they have the money to pay their fare.
Mr Emerson said the government was committed to maintaining that principle, but something had to be done to address the rorting.
Asked how practical it was to ask drivers to check lists for banned students, Mr Emerson said he didn't believe too many pupils would be banned.
He said the government had contemplated the prospect of a banned student being targeted in a Daniel Morcombe-type scenario.
Banned students shouldn't be trying to catch the bus in the first place, he said.

Residents battling eviction from Britain's biggest illegal travellers' site won yet another temporary reprieve on Monday as a judge granted them a four-day extension on their injunction.
Bailiffs acting for the Basildon Council local authority had been set to evict the Irish travellers last Monday, but a series of last-ditch legal moves have so far prevented the site being cleared.
The case affects 51 plots and up to 400 people living on the Dale Farm camp outside Basildon, east of London.
At London's High Cout, judge Antony Edwards-Stuart said the travellers were entitled to an injunction extension until Thursday when the courts can rule on the legality of their proposed removal.
He said there were "triable issues in relation to almost every plot" as to whether the steps Basildon Council proposed to take fall within the terms of the enforcement notices being used as the basis for eviction.
He said a further court hearing was necessary to determine the facts.
The travellers own the six-acre (2.4-hectare) site but lack planning permission to build on it.
The council has set aside £18 million ($27.8 million, 20.6 million euros) for the clearance.

Evgenii Onegin is best known in the West through Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin. But the original narrative poem (consisting of 389 stanzas, the form of which has become known as the "Pushkin sonnet") is one of the landmarks of Russian literature.
In the poem, the eponymous hero repudiates love, only to later experience the pain of rejection himself. Pushkin's unique style proves timeless in its exploration of love, life, passion, jealousy, and the consequences of social convention.
This is the first time the work has appeared in audiobook form and is part of Naxos AudioBooks' intention to make the major European literary works available on audio.

'Breathtakingly brilliant tour de force'
I know very little about Russian literature, to say nothing of the challenges it poses for English translation, though I've heard said that no less a Russian literary genius than Vladimir Nabokov declared Pushkin's classical verse novel "Evgenii Onegin" "mathematically impossible to translate." Which didn't stop him from trying (albeit in prose). Mary Hobson herself told a BBC interviewer that "although I keep translating him he's absolutely untranslatable" (6 January 2004)!
Here, the justly acclaimed Shakespearean actor and Audible stalwart Neville Jason turns in a brilliant performance in the first-ever recording of Mary Hobson's amazing new translation, mostly in iambic tetrameter, of "Evgenii Onegin." Now, there have been over two dozen previous translations of this work, in various poetic and prose formats. Doctoral dissertations have been written on the challenges of translating Pushkin. All I know is that I love this current rendition — but I also very much like the equally lively Kindle version "Eugene Oneguine" by Henry Spalding (1881), which doesn't seem a bit outdated to me. In fact, it's fun (if not especially easy!) to read and compare the latter work (perhaps not line by line, but rather stanza by stanza) with Mary Hobson's Audible translation.
One of the coolest things about "Evgenii Onegin: A New Translation by Mary Hobson" is the backstory. Now 86, British homemaker and grandmother Mary Hobson went to university and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Russian in her 60s, after reading and falling in love with "War and Peace" (in English) while laid up in the hospital. She went on to complete a PhD in Russian literature when she was 74. Dr. Hobson has earned the Griboedov Prize (1996), Pushkin Gold Medal (1999), and Peredvizhnik Prize (2009), among other prestigious Russian translation awards. Guardian critic Sue Arnold recently called Mary Hobson's "Evgenii Onegin" a "BREATHTAKINGLY BRILLIANT TOUR DE FOURCE" (8 June 2012). But realizing she's getting too old for her whirlwind winter commutes to Moscow and Irkutsk ["My idea of hell is a holiday in the sun ... I never feel so good as in really freezing weather!"], Dr. Hobson has recently changed her focus from Russian to ancient Greek. Which means that over a daily breakfast of All-Bran, wholemeal toast and a pot of black coffee she now gets to read Marcus Aurelius and Plato in their original language — and perhaps even more age-appropriately, in bed.
This is one of the best Audible.com recordings in my audiobook library. If you've never read "Evgenii Onegin" but enjoy Lord Byron, there are some thematic and structural similarities to "Don Juan" and "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage." And the accompanying Naxos guide is short (15 pages) but sweet.
- Joseph M.
Wonderful! Just wonderful!
If you haven't gotten around to reading Eugene Onegin yet, get this Naxos audio version. The translation by Mary Hobson is very pleasing, and Neville Jacobson's narration is superb. I have read Pushkin's novel in verse in several very good translations, and none is better than this. To finally be able to hear the lines is amazingly satisfying. What's it about, you ask? Oh, Russia, family, society, unrequited love, that sort of thing. You just have to read it to begin to know. And here's a plus--the download is only 4 1/2 hours long, so you can read it 10 times or more in the time it takes to read the average Russian classic. I know I will. If you already know the novel, this version will not disappoint you. If you don't know it yet--well, I already told you what to do.

The poster presentation is titled " Translation Issues in Qualitative Research: Reflection From Parental Interviews of Children with Autism From India and Turkey." Both Kaniamattan and Gunhan have gathered in-depth interviews of parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in India and Turkey respectively as part of their dissertation research. How parents use words and phrases in their first language must be carefully translated into English so that readers will grasp the parents' intended meaning. This poster presentation identifies a selection of concepts that could easily be mistranslated, with potentially unintended consequences to service delivery. According to Dr. Oxley, it is the hope of the authors that "this research will contribute to knowledge that enables professionals to better serve an increasingly multilingual community."
The Convention Program Committee reviewed 1901 poster submissions and selected only 48 posters to receive meritorious recognition based on extraordinary, exceptional, and innovative work. Kaniamattan, Gunhan, Oxley, and Damico will receive recognition at the annual ASHA convention. This year, the annual ASHA convention will take place on November 17-19 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each year, the convention brings together individuals in the field of speech, language, and hearing sciences to hear the latest research and gain new skills and resources to further their careers. Additional faculty and students from the Communicative Disorders department at UL Lafayette will also be attending and presenting at this event.

Look, nobody's trying to sell you anything, especially now that you've 'evolved.'
Frankly, I don't want you on our side. You and your ilk give conservatives a bad name.
You only see the dark side. You have no hope. No trust.
Not saying you, but I've seen the most horrible Mormon bigotry on this site by people who hate Romney.
So, please, please, go on your merry way. We don't want you.
So why are you supporting Romney, when you say you are a conservative?
Romney is:
pro abortion
pro homosexual agenda
pro man made global warming
pro government mandate
pro big government
pro government health care
pro welfare
anti conservative
(and more)
Not one of those are conservative
Who are we?
You speaking for the entire forum now?
It is Mitt Romney's job right now to sell himself to me. I'v listed the things I look for in a candidate. All those other trappings (the list in this article) points to the Liberals' way at looking and judging things, academic, titles, credentials, superficial stuff.
But GOP made the decision that it is the so-called 'swing voters' that they are targeting.
>>> We dont want you. <<<
So sorry to disappoint you. Doesn't matter if YOU don't want me, I am a conservative, and that's that.
Well Said!
I have learned one thing from this election cycle and that is that there are people who at least claim to be conservative that are every bit as nutty and lacking in common sense as any liberal. Many are on this site and posting in this thread. In addition to being completely off the reservation, they, just like the libs are very prone to distorting and lets just face it, lying, to support their position. Just like the libs their fault is the belief that they are purer, smarter, and intellectually superior to us who live in real ville.

Raspberry season is during the summer and that's the time to enjoy fresh you pick raspberries. You can pick your own raspberries or we can pick them for you. Come out and enjoy the farm on a warm summer day. We have early and late raspberries for an extended season of farm fresh locally grown berries. Our raspberry season usually begins the second or third week of July and lasts into August. We also offer a fall variety of red raspberries which helps those who may have missed the summer season. There's nothing like walking down the grassy path of a row of red raspberries that are ripe, and ready to eat. After looking for these treasures you can't wait to get them home so you can eat the bounty of savoring each jewel as you pop them into your mouth.
Raspberry jam is loved by all who are lucky enough to have jam made right from farm to canning jar. You can make easy freezer raspberry jam, or go with the cooked raspberry jam version. Raspberry jelly is also wonderful, and is wonderful for those who cannot eat seeds.

F.A.Q. – Our members answer your frequently asked questions
How do I get involved?
There are lots of ways to get involved with your local RCM-SAR station!
The first step is to contact your local RCM-SAR Station Leader or Recruitment Coordinator . They will tell you about their application process and answer your questions.
Ways to contact your local station:
- Drop us an email. Most stations will have an info email inbox monitored for general inquiries. You can also contact our Regional Office at firstname.lastname@example.com and request contact information for the RCM-SAR Station closest to your community.
- Check out your local station's Facebook page or web site.
- Ask a current RCM-SAR member in your community.
- Watch for recruiting sessions offered by your local station.
Each station will have different needs for volunteers. Roles include:
SAR crew member – this requires a vigorous training period of 3-6 months with a minimum 2-3 year volunteer commitment depending on the station. You will need to be available on call. These on call requirements vary by community and number of volunteers (average 1-2 days a week), but all stations have a minimum requirement of 20 hours sea time per year to retain active status. In order to be an effective volunteer and team member you'll need to keep up your training, and we prefer to see closer to 60+ hours of training annually).
Other volunteer areas – we are a not for profit organization and each station needs lots of support to keep its boats and crews ready. Your station could use your skills in:
- Fundraising
- Special projects
- Administration
- Governance
- Recruitment and Marketing
- Community events
- SAR Prevention (boating safety)
I look forward to you joining us!
Amber Sheasgreen – Crewmember RCM-SAR Station #64 Prince Rupert
What does an RCM-SAR crewmember do?
We're here to help people who get in trouble on the water. I never know what to expect when I get a call. It could involve first aid, finding someone lost in the fog, towing a broken down vessel, or doing a shoreline search for somebody who has gone missing. We have to train hard for all those scenarios, but it keeps the job really interesting.
I'm on call for 3 shifts or more during a week depending on how many other crew members are available at my station. I'm ready to be paged out at any time. That means I need to stay within a few minutes of the rescue boat when I'm on call. We aim to get our crews to the boat and be launched within 15 minutes of a tasking, because sometimes seconds matter.
We don't just respond to emergencies. We promote safe boating, we talk to kids about staying safe around the water, and we support our local community with special events. There's always lots to be done to keep a rescue station up and running. It's really rewarding.
Jason van der Valk – Coxswain RCM-SAR Station #37 Sooke
Do I need to be on a search and rescue crew?
No. There are many ways you can support us. For example, here in the Okanagan we have Station 101 in Vernon. Since 2004 our focus has been to promote boating safety to both the boating community and public at large.
We deliver that message on the water and provide a visible presence on weekends between May and October on Okanagan Lake. Our role is not Search and Rescue. We want to prevent the need for search and rescue. Last year our members conducted more than 135 on-water Vessel Safety Survey checks and shore-based Pleasure Craft Safety Checks. We enjoy our many interactions with boaters, and have helped with emergency fuel, battery jump-starts, and other assistance.
Like all RCM-SAR Stations, we need volunteers to bring their skills to our team. Whether it's sharing our boating safety message with the public or helping behind the scenes to keep a station running smoothly, there are lots of interesting roles available. And there's no better team to work with!
Bob Montguire – Station Leader RCM-SAR Station #101 Vernon
What kind of boats do you have?
We have a range of rescue vessels designed to meet the needs of the coastal and lake communities we serve. Some of our stations use Zodiac or similar "Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats" (RHIBs), which are a proven search and rescue workhorse. They are tough and versatile. The tubes on the side provide extra flotation and shock absorbency in heavy seas.
Recently we designed two new classes of vessels specifically for RCM-SAR. The Type 1 vessel is a large RHIB with a new shock-absorbing seating platform. Our Type 2 "Falkins Class" vessels are the largest in the fleet. They have enclosed cabins and are powered by jet drives, making them highly manoeuvrable. They can turn on their own axis and travel sideways. They have lots of room for first aid equipment and other search and rescue gear.
Paul Mottershead – Coxswain RCM-SAR Station #27 Nanaimo
What do you wear on a call?
What I wear depends on the boat, the conditions, and what we're doing. Usually on a mission I'll wear a flotation suit . If I'm in an open boat in rough weather I'll wear a waterproof "dry suit".
I wear a helmet for safety. Our modern rescue helmets have inflatable liners which makes them warm and comfortable.
I wear a SAR vest with personal safety gear. The vest has a built-in inflatable collar for extra flotation. I just pull a tab and a compressed air cartridge inflates the collar. I have a handheld marine radio, an emergency strobe light, a whistle, some first aid gloves, a waterproof notebook, and an emergency knife for cutting lines (or fighting sea monsters).
RCM-SAR provides all this gear. It can cost up to $2,000 to outfit one of our members. That's why your donation really helps. Thanks!
Julie Williams – Crewmember RCM-SAR Station #35 Victoria
What is the training like?
The level of training that we receive is unparalleled. The training starts before you even step on the boat. Each member is trained in first aid, has a basic Pleasure Craft Operator Card, and obtains a Radio Operator's Certificate – Maritime. These basic qualifications prepare you for your first on-water training sessions. Depending on your availability, you can train on weeknights, during the day or on weekends. Or all of the above, as our rescue vessels can be on the water several times a week. In addition, stations usually provide classroom training weekly or monthly, focusing on SAR techniques, seamanship, first aid, and maritime collision regulations (the "rules of the road").
Once you have completed certain training you will be considered for specialized courses like Marine Advanced First Aid, SARNAV-1 and SARNAV-2 (both exclusive RCM-SAR courses) and RCM-SAR coxswain training.
I've really enjoyed my training at RCM-SAR, and because our training is standardized I know that when I work with members from other stations we will have similar skills and techniques. Our training is world class and one of the most rewarding things we do as volunteers.
Matthew Kerr – Crewmember RCM-SAR Station #33 Oak Bay
Where does RCM-SAR get its money?
Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue is a Registered Charity in British Columbia. Our funding comes from several sources:
- Department of Fisheries and Oceans/Canadian Coast Guard for on-water emergency response and crew readiness training.
- Corporate donations for training and development of infrastructure at our regional training facility.
- Province of British Columbia Community Gaming Grants for vessels, boating safety programs and a wide range of search and rescue equipment.
- Specific project grants from a variety of sources.
- Individuals who contribute to rescue stations in their community or to the RCM-SAR training centre.
We are careful stewards of the funding that we receive to support our volunteers, and we are very proud of our track record as an efficient and effective non-profit organization. Our audited financial statements are available in our annual report.
Laura Davis – Finance Officer, RCM-SAR Head Office
Are you part of the Canadian Coast Guard?
No, we're not part of the Canadian Coast Guard, although we work closely with them.
We used to be known as the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary, and many people assumed we were part of the Coast Guard even though we have always been a separate organization. Our new name helps to clear up that confusion.
We receive great support from the Coast Guard, including some funding for training and missions. Our coxswains train at the Coast Guard's demanding Rigid Hull Inflatable Operator Training (RHIOT) school in Bamfield. We receive our search and rescue taskings from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria, which is jointly operated by the Canadian Forces and the Canadian Coast Guard. When we're on a call we communicate with Coast Guard staff at the Marine Traffic and Communications Services centres. And we're always looking for opportunities to train with the Coast Guard so that we're an effective partnership on the water.
So while we're not part of Coast Guard, we have lots of connections with them and share a common goal of public safety on the water.
Cheryl Caldwell – RCM-SAR Director of Training and Operations

Hardly a home was left intact, after Tropical Cyclone Pat hit the holiday island on February 11.
The Defence Force has been helping islanders to repair their damaged home and restore services.
Squadron Leader Kavae Tamariki, who flew to Cooks with a Defence Force aid team in an air force Hercules, said being in such a devastated area was "pretty humbling." "I am amazed that no one got hurt when you see the amount of debris lying around."
Aid had arrived at a crucial time and fresh water, food and temporary shelters were providing relief, he said.
"The island has been hit pretty hard. There is a lot of work to do restore essential services before they begin the rebuilding process but the work has begun. We hope to make a positive impact while we are here."
He said that 68 homes were totally destroyed and "pretty much 90% of the houses have some form of damage".
"There are a lot of people who are homeless, living in churches or with other family members," Sqn Ldr Tamariki said.
Defence Force personnel were working with locals to help restore essential services and some sense of normality after the cyclone's devastating damage.
The Hercules had made four flights to take supplies from the main island of Rarotonga to Aitutaki. Emergency aid included a water purification plant from Australia which could produce 5000 litres of water an hour, temporary shelters, electrical cabling, water containers, two bobcat diggers, blankets and food. "People on the island have been very welcoming and appreciate New Zealand's help," Sqn Ldr Tamariki said.
"The reception we received when we flew into Aitutaki has been fantastic. It was surprising when you consider the amount of damage and destruction caused by the cyclone."
The New Zealand Army Engineering sent specialists from Linton including electricians, a builder, heavy plant operators and a plumber.
Sqn Ldr Tamariki said their first task was to put up temporary shelters for families who lost their homes. They would also restore electricity and the main water supply.
The New Zealand Government has made an initial contribution of $200,000 to help repair damage.

Discussion in 'Band of Glockers' started by edtf, Apr 22, 2008.
Can anyone help me out here. How much does a Sig P226 go for these days? Thanks
Around 70 bnew if you can find one. There were a few units in Nashe a few months ago. Don't know if they still offer them on order basis.
wow, sig!
helping a friend out lang medyo short kaya bentang kaibigan sabay tubos pag kaya na
ako na lang tutubos... wahehehe!
Sig! I like Sigs. Here's mine. Show me yours.
sir ganda naman ng sig mo! sir ung nasa baba? anung cal. yan? single stack din ba yan? heres mine, a 225(9mmpara) and a 220(.45).... tnx! (sori amateur photos...) first gen sigs... (without rails)
Very nice pieces, jack.
pag ubos funds ko balitaan kita - hehehehe
wtf - nice!!!
I actually like the first generation sigs better. I have no use for these darned rails.
The one at the bottom is a 9MM P229, and it is for my everyday carry. With it, I use 15 round Mec-gar magazines and +P hollowpoints.
BTW, magazines for the P250 are in very short supply right now.
Let me know when are you coming stateside, we'll spend the day at the shooting range.
I just might be in IL this autumn, if the weather here just
stops mucking up my project timetables any further....
sir ganda naman ng may tac light na sig, especially that 229.. it looks good with lights.. for me, i CC my 225, and although its a compact model, parang nabibigatan parin ako sa kanya, tapos 8 lang ang capacity nya... so im thinking of trading it with a G19.. but something tells me to keep it... gulo noh? hehe
I lived in IL for four years. I have a lot of batch mates over there in the Chicago and the Champagne-Urbana area. Anyway, if you can make make it to the East coast...
Unfortunately, it is burdensome to carry a 229 with a tac light. It will not fit in the Versamax 2 holster I use with it. Masasayang yung holster. Mahirap pa mandin bilhin yun dito. Mahaba ang waiting list. They would actually stop taking orders to keep their wait list from getting too long.
As for trading your 225 with a G19, I would keep both if at all possible. If I can only keep one, I'll keep the G19.
Very nice pieces!
Can afford NP22 lang hehe.
Hindi available sa US yang NP 22. I wish it was because I would love to have one. Mukha talagang P226.
I bought the rifle over the weekend. This rifle is a Ruger 10/22. It is a nice complement to my Browning Buckmark. Makatipid ng kaunti sa bala. I am going to replace the trigger with a volquartsen this weekend para mas maganda yung shot group. BTW, naparami palang aftermarket products to upgrade the 10/22; binabasa ko sa rimfirecentral.com, mukhang magandang hobby.
Eto yung picture ng mga 22 ko:
Is that the 10/22 that is sold exclusively by Wal-Mart? It seems to have a longer barrel than the original 10/22.
I was planning to buy one, but our Norinco dealer emailed me today that they will be having a shipment of Norinco SKSs pretty soon.
Yup, this is the famous Wally World Special, the only Ruger 10/22 with a 22 inch stainless steel barrel. If you are planning to buy one, get one soon since new production 10/22's have plastic trigger groups instead of metal. A new metal Voltquartsen or Kidd trigger group cost around the same as a new 22 rifle.
SKS's are nice rifles but the price of ammo is keeping me from shooting every weekend. I just bought a 500 rd. box of Wolf .45 ammo today and it cost me a nifty 109 dollars, and that is very cheap compared to Winchester White Box which costs around 140 for the same number of rounds. I bought a 1K case of Wolf 7.62X39 a few weeks ago and that was a nifty 189 dollars at the local gun shop. Compare those prices to 550 rounds of .22LR ammo - 9.90 dollars.

About Me
Hi! We are a French-Nicaraguan couple that engages in different kinds of activism to raise awareness on subjects concerning the planet: the nature of human beings, our current economic system, the environment, food and animal welfare. We have served as international volunteers getting involved in different causes ranging from organic farms to helping Tibetan communities in exile. While we have strong convictions, we don't push our ideas on anyone, we believe everyone has the right to make informed decisions.
People would describe us as open minded, very relaxed, friendly and easy going; our priority is to be outdoors in nature as much as possible. We don't smoke cigarettes, we are VERY clean and tidy, love to cook vegan food and most importantly we like to share anything we have, be it our food, stories, good moments... We just love people who love life.
During our two+ year journey in Asia we created the community project http://www.weareco.org and wrote a book about the evolution toward a greener and more collaborative living (check it, it's available on conscious donation): http://bit.ly/1DP6YIP

Lighting the way to project savings
There are a number of significant decisions that go into designing a manufacturing facility. One thing most people don't instantly think about as a critical decision is a building's lighting. We can all agree that lights are clearly a necessity, but with increases in technology, there is no longer an obvious answer when it comes to commercial lighting selections. Lighting has gone from a necessity to a powerful budget factor.
Architects put just as much energy into selecting the right lighting solutions for any given space as they put into the width of transfer aisles and the height of high bay doors. The latter decisions won't save you money for years to come, but lighting can.
The critical decision path begins with the selection of lighting options, making the case to clients, and demonstrating the most value in the best choice.
A Shining Example: Case Study
The electrical team has been tasked with selecting lighting options for a 200,000 SF manufacturing facility in the Midwest. The average light level at the manufacturing space floor to be achieved is 60 foot-candles with fixtures mounted at 20-feet above the floor. With the due diligence and research phases now complete, the team has narrowed it down to two lighting options.
The first fixture type is a 2-lamp 54 watt T5HO fluorescent industrial fixture which is traditionally used in industrial and manufacturing type spaces.
The second fixture is a highly efficient LED fixture specifically designed to replace conventional HID and fluorescent fixtures for low to high bay lighting applications.
Lighting by the Numbers
Looking at the numbers is always a good place to start. Sometimes in a situation where there are multiple selections, the numbers tell the whole story, and sometimes they are just one piece of the puzzle in the search for the best lighting solution. Remember the old adage 'you get what you pay for', that is as true as ever when comparing lighting products.
The options on the table in this scenario continue to provide insight by diving deeper into the specifics of each:
Fluorescent Industrial Fixture:
Fixture Cost: $118.00
Per Unit Installation Cost (excluding conduit/wiring and terminations): $90
Approx. replacement lamp cost: $4.71
Lamp average life: 20,000 hours
Watts per fixture: 124
Watts per square foot: 1.38
Total $28,202
LED High Bay Fixture:
Fixture Cost: $517.00
Per Unit Installation Cost (excluding conduit/wiring and terminations): $90
Lamp module average life: 100,000 hours
Watts per fixture: 259
Watts per square foot: 1.22
Total $52,734
The best choice shines brightly
Although the LED fixture option has a higher initial cost when compared to the fluorescent alternative ($52k vs. $28k), the cost of lamp replacement over 100,000 hours (fixture lifetime) period is zero compared to $11k for the fluorescent alternative. In addition, an LED option lighting layout requires approximately 57% less fixtures to achieve the same level of lighting (60FC average) in the manufacturing space than its fluorescent counterpart. This means the initial installation cost and future fixture maintenance costs are greatly minimized. Another advantage of the LED option is that it does not require storage space and inventory for replacement lamps, whereas the fluorescent alternative does.
The LED fixture option also provides lower watts per square foot operation than the fluorescent fixture alternative (1.22 vs 1.38). This will reduce the yearly power consumption related to high-bay lighting by approximately 13%, resulting in additional long-term savings.
A few functional advantages of installing the LED fixtures in this space in lieu of fluorescent ones are worth mentioning. First, fluorescent fixtures are, in general, less efficient than LED fixtures. This inefficiency results in higher heat dissipation from the fluorescent fixture and requires increased cooling in the space, therefore increasing energy consumption. Next, since LED light modules contain no glass components, they are not vulnerable to vibration or breakage compared to conventional fluorescent lamps, therefore providing a higher level of safety for the users and equipment below. Finally, an LED light source does not suffer from flickering due to under voltage of the power source, which tends to be a common issue with fluorescent fixtures.
After comparing both scenarios, it is clear that the LED option has an overall advantage in initial installation cost, long-time energy cost, and functionality, therefore would be the suggested option to the client that is best suited for the intended use of the space. Providing savings in all three of these areas will provide a huge overall advantage to the success of the project, news any company would be happy to hear.

Doom and Gloom prophecy does not reflect the heart of a Happy God!
Prophecy is hearing the voice of God and is for every believer and every child of God (John 10.27). The Father is always speaking to us and God's voice brings clarity and peace. It is filled with love, humility, tenderness and JOY! His voice does not bring confusion, doubt or stress. The voice of God is filled with revelation. It is to encourage the Body of Christ (1 Corin 14). It's interesting that normally I'm encouraged by positive things!
Prophecy does not spread fear, intimidation and never controls people. Witchcraft does though! Paranoia prophecies are not from God either (Prophecies that spread paranoia about the end of the world coming or that certain people are the anti-christ/ demons). Prophecy is a spiritual gift (Rom 12.6-8 + 1 Cor 12.10) and even one to be desired above others! (1 Cor 14.1) Why should it be desired above others? Because prophecy should reveal the Joy and Happiness of God's heart and tell us Good News!!!
If you're hearing Prophecy that doesn't sound like Good News, it aint the Gospel!!
God speaks everyday- its good to be encouraged by God everyday and important! I love what Bill Johnson says on hearing the voice of God: "We have the potential to kill Isaac simply because we heard what God said yesterday, and failed to hear what He is saying today!" We need to hear the voice of God Today!
There is a distinction between being prophetic and being called to the Office of a Prophet. Prophecy is for everyone but not everyone is called to be a Prophet. Being a Prophet is not about giving lots more prophetic words than everyone else, its about living out a Prophetic message through your entire Life – it is about Being the Word – the Word is Jesus and Jesus is the Fulfillment of it. Prophets will therefore be called to live in the fulfillment of their Prophetic Word! They have a platform, usually on a national level and are able to speak into Government.
Prophecy in the New Covenant:
True Prophecy reflects the heart of the cross – Grace and Love! It points to what Christ has fulfilled and Finished! It reveals the spiritual 'time and season' of the New Covenant and how this has affected humanity.
Prophecies which create distance and delay between us and God, or our spiritual inheritance in Christ do not fit within the Gospel because God is Immanuel! God is with us, He is not leaving and He has already given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies through our union with Christ (Eph 1.3)
Prophecies about a 'coming revival and future wave of the Spirit' have already been fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Christ. He brought revival 2000 years ago, He IS Revival and He lives in us (col 1.27). So often we have sat around waiting for God to fulfill some prophetic word about a coming revival and not realised that WE have the fulfillment of the prophetic word!! God can't give us anything more than Himself! Yes I believe in Revival and love Revival history but we must understand: Revival comes through Faith in what we have already been given, not waiting for God to do what He already has done.
The Joy of the Gospel supersedes Jeremiah's laments and there are no desert seasons this side of the New Covenant because in Christ we have reached the Promised Land- Eden.
In Acts a Prophet called Agabus prophecies about a famine that was going to happen. His prophecy was not about judgement but so the early church could prepare for it and help people caught up in it. His Prophecy didn't create fear or paranoia and actually came true! God speaks through words of knowledge- factual information about someone/ something, to provide insight or encouragement into a situation eg. a particular illness someone might have which God wants to heal. God might give you detailed information about what is going on in a particular situation so that you can release Power and Grace into it.
'After the eventers': A word released after an event, saying that the event was going to happen, is not prophecy but journalism and we can watch the news for that.
Prophecy must be centered around the Finished Work of Christ.
The purpose of the prophetic in the New Covenant therefore is to:
1. Understand what Christ has accomplished on the cross so we can release people, cities and nations into truth, freedom and their destiny through our lives. The Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy (Rev 19.10).
2. To decree the truth of the Gospel and see a manifestation of God's Kingdom; His power and authority on the Earth.
3. To be able to foretell the future/ supernaturally know factual information (words of knowledge) and through a revelation of the Gospel provide insight and understanding or a solution to what is going to happen, or the reasons why something is happening.

Monday's WSJ had an interview with the former fed chairman where he shared the following insights: (1) forget CDOs, the most important financial innovation in the last 20 years is the ATM; (2) there are huge moral hazard issues; and (3) commercial and investment banks need to be separated. It will be interesting to see how Volcker's arguments influence the upcoming deliberations.

hristina worked with CourtSense from 2006 through October, 2010. We're very proud of the fact that at the end of 2010, she achieved a WTA ranking of #106, which made her the highest ranked player for her age or younger in the world. At the young age of 18 she had some very impressive results, including wins over Melanie Oudin, Victoria Azarenka, and Nadia Petrova. We wish her luck in her future endeavors.
Christina was the youngest girl in 2006 to receive a Wild Card invitation to the Junior US Open after winning the 18's National Clay Court Championship. She won a Wild Card tournament and received an invitation to play in the 2009 Australian Open Singles tournament. After that match, she went on to win the Junior Australian Open Doubles title. The same year, she won the 18's National Hard Court Championship title, earning her a Wild Card into the 2009 US Open.
At the US Open, she handily won her first match against the 81st-ranked player in the world 6-3, 6-1. This earned her the tremendous opportunity to play Maria Sharapova in a featured night match in Ashe Stadium, televised on ESPN during prime time. Her 2009 US Open debut ended that night, but it showed millions of viewers how bright a future this young woman has.
Christina's highest ranking was 24 in the world in 2012. She was a member of the 2012 US Olympic Team as well as the being a member of the US Fed Cup Team a number of times. She has had two impressive wins over Caroline Wazniacki while she held the #1 ranking in world, a win over the 2011 Wimbledon Champion Petra Kvitová while ranked #2 in the world and a win over the 2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli at the US Open. Christina continues to work hard and smart with CourtSense as she pursues her dreams of winning a grand slam.
Luis has trained with CourtSense for many years. In 2002, Luis was a Junior Wimbledon quarterfinalist and in 2003, he was ranked # 9 in the world in the ITF Juniors with wins over such notable players as Novak Djokovic and Marcos Baghdatis.
