Just a heads up...
Batanes is Taiwanese?
By Antonio C. Abaya
Written Jan. 28, 2007
For the Standard Today,
January 30 issue
A retired, former high-ranking Philippine naval officer has emailed to me the following article written by a Chinese history professor which, in a nutshell, claims that the Batanes Islands are not rightfully a part of the Republic of the Philippines because they were not part of the Philippine Islands that were ceded by Spain to the United States of America through the Treaty of Paris of 1898. Read and judge for yourself.
Bashi Strait: a lesson in geography
By Chen Hurng-yu
Thursday, Sep 23, 2004, Page 8. There are two groups of islands between Taiwan and Luzon Island in the Philippines. The Batan, or the Batanese Islands, are located close to Taiwan at a distance of 190km, and the Babuyan Islands are located close to Luzon Island. The Batan Islands are comprised of 10 small islands, the largest being Itbayat, followed by Batan Island.
The Batan Islands cover an area of 210km2. Research has shown that the people living on the islands have unique traits. They say they belong to the Ivatan people, and the local language is also called Ivatan. According to one explanation, this people may have migrated from Taiwan and later mixed with the Spanish colonizers living there.
Because the Batan Islands are located near Taiwan, Taiwanese fishermen have
traditionally fished in the area around the islands. As a result of regular contact, some Taiwanese fishermen have taken up residence on the islands, and there have been marriages with the local population, which has led to some locals understanding some Hoklo, commonly known as Taiwanese.
After the Spanish were defeated by the US in 1898, one of the conditions of the peace treaty was that Spain cede the Philippines to the US. But a close reading of the US-Spanish Treaty of Paris is surprising: the northernmost part of the Philippine territory ceded by Spain to the US ends at the 20th parallel, or south of the Balintang Channel. This means that the Batan Islands fall outside the scope of the peace treaty.
What does this mean? Was it a measurement mistake? Or was it due to other
To deal with these questions, we have to go back to 1895 and the maritime border agreement signed by Spain and Japan.
On Aug. 7, 1895, during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, Japan and Spain signed an agreement delineating the borders of Taiwan and the Philippines. The agreement defined "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi parallel to the latitude as the Western Pacific border between Japan and Spain."
Because the agreement did not define borders in terms of latitude and longitude, and because there was no definition of what was meant by the Bashi Strait, the unclear geographical scope created problems in later talks between the US and Spain.
In June 1896, war broke out between the US and Spain. The US defeated the Spanish fleet in the Bay of Manila, thereby winning the war. Representatives of the US and Spain reached an agreement on Nov. 28, but did not reveal the contents. A newspaper therefore guessed at the scope of Philippine territory demanded by the US, writing: "It is believed that the definition of the limits of the Philippine group in the American demands will be as follows: From 5 32' north latitude to 19 38' north latitude, and from 117 east
longitude to 126 east longitude, thus covering about 1,000 miles north and south and 600 miles east and west."
This report shows that the most northerly point of the Philippine group of islands as agreed to by Spain and accepted by the US was south of the 20th parallel. This rumor was later verified by the official agreement.
The US and Spain then signed a peace treaty in Paris on Dec.10, 1898. Article 3 of the treaty specifies that Spain should cede the Philippine islands it occupied to the US, as defined in terms of longitude and latitude. The text of Article 3 reads: "Spain hereby cedes to the United States the archipelago known as the Philippines Islands, and comprehending the islands lying within the following line: A line running from West to
East along or near the Twentieth (20th) parallel of North latitude, and through the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi, from the one hundred and eighteenth (118th) to the one hundred and twenty-seventh (127th) degree meridian of longitude East of Greenwich, thence along the one hundred and twenty-seventh (127th) degree meridian of longitude East of Greenwich to the..."
In 1895, Spain had not defined "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi." The negotiations between Spain and the US in 1898 clearly specified that it was located on the "20th parallel of the North latitude" and officially recognized that the islands north of this line belonged to Japan. Spain's representatives during the negotiations insisted that the US' representatives only could take possession of the islands south of the 20th
parallel. This was accepted by the US and the border was set at the 20th parallel.
Regardless of how the Bashi Strait is defined, Spain said during the negotiations with the US that it could not cede to the US islands that did not belong to Spain. They insisted that the border be drawn along the 20th parallel. It is also important to recognize that when Spain and the US signed the peace treaty in Paris, Spain respected the regulations of the
1895 agreement between Spain and Japan.
Furthermore, how is "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi" related to the 20th parallel? As the Spanish negotiator at the time understood it, the Bashi Strait is the strait stretching from Taiwan to Luzon Island, which places the middle along the 20th parallel. The Spanish representative opposed the US representative's position that the area south of 21 degrees 30 minutes north latitude should be ceded to the US.
Following navigation practice at the time, there were two navigable lanes in the Bashi Strait: one was the Bashi Channel between Taiwan and the Batan Islands, and the other was the Balintang Channel between the Batan Islands and the Babuyan Islands. At the time -- 1895 to 1898 -- the Bashi Channel was not the navigable sea lane normally used. Ships at the time were not as powerful, so boats and ships traveling to Taiwan or Japan would normally go through the Balintang Channel when passing west of Luzon. After reaching the Pacific, they would turn north and aim for the south of Taiwan or directly
for Japan.
This sea lane follows the Japan Current, and was probably the main sea lane at the time. This is the case in sea lane charts in many books from that time. Boats would not cross the Balintang Channel into the Bashi Channel only to then cross the Bashi Channel to reach the Pacific, because such a route would encounter a powerful counter-current branching off the Japan Current which flows from the east to the west, making it an inappropriate route.
Based on this, Spain probably conducted its negotiations with both Japan and the US based on the contemporary understanding of what constituted the navigable sea lane: "the middle of the navigable channel of Bashi" was the channel along the 20th parallel, which today is called the Balintang Channel.
In a letter to US Secretary of State John Hay on Jan. 12, 1899, John Bassett Moore, legal council to the US negotiation delegation, wrote that he believed the dispute regarding the Batan Islands located north of the 20th parallel could be discussed with Japan and resolved by reaching an agreement. The US government did not accept Moore's suggestion, and on Jan. 10, 1900, it sent troops to occupy the Batan Islands.
Was that a rightful occupation? As explained above, the Batan Islands were not "no man's land," but should be considered as belonging to Japan, which, however, never had occupied them. It seems the US thus had no right to occupy them based on the claim that the islands were no man's land. The US occupation was tantamount to invasion.
By unilaterally extending Philippine territory from the 20th parallel to the 21st parallel without prior negotiations with Taiwan, the "Republic Act No. 3046: Act to define the baseline of the territorial sea of the Philippines" promulgated by the Philippine government on June 17, 1961 clearly conflicted with the Treaty of Paris between the US and Spain.
Regardless, from the perspective of international law, the arrangement concerning the Batan Islands set up by the US and Spain in treaty form in 1898 confirmed that the islands were part of the territory of Taiwan, which at the time was under Japanese control. An international treaty should hold more binding power than the unclear 1895 agreement between Spain and Japan.
The Philippines' unilateral action in 1961 cannot invalidate the 1898 Paris Treaty between the US and Spain, because that treaty involves the territory of a third party. The Philippines cannot unilaterally define its northern border without consultations with that third party. From a juridical perspective, the legitimacy of the Philippine occupation of the Batan Islands is questionable.

Directors Have DVD Plans for Oscar Hits24 Mar, 2002 By: Fred Topel
There's nothing like Oscar nominations to boost interest in the DVD release of a high-profile movie, and the filmmakers behind some of this year's top nominees already have plans for special edition DVD content.
Peter Jackson has announced plans for an extended cut of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and producer Barrie Osborne explained what some of those scenes might include. "They're more character development [scenes] that I think people will find really interesting," Osborne said. The DVD will also include specific behind-the-scenes material from on-set to scoring and mixing sessions in post-production.
For Black Hawk Down, director Ridley Scott hopes to include interviews from the real military men involved in the Mogadishu conflict portrayed in the film. "They've all got a pretty good point of view," Scott said. "I think it's interesting hearing them out, and also the [Bosnian] militia. There were a lot of interviews I saw before [making] this [film], because this is a pretty well covered event with press."
On the A Beautiful Mind DVD, director Ron Howard hopes to feature deleted scenes, including one in which his own father acted. Howard also wants to explore the effects used to visualize John Nash's mental epiphanies. "A few of the visual effects, while not dazzling and stunty, are interesting in the way that they are constructed with detail and a lot of thought," Howard said. "Some of the epiphanies did entail visual effects and took a fair amount of planning, not only on the visual effects side, but conceptually. I wanted them to be subtle on the one hand but have a relationship with each other as well."
I Am Sam director Jessie Nelson wants to use her DVD to reveal the process that led Sean Penn to his best actor nomination for portraying the mentally challenged Sam. "I'm going to put in some different takes Sean does on scenes," Nelson said. "You can see the kind of range of emotions that he'll give you, the interpretations of a particular moment. He would kind of carry the emotion of the scene, so if it was a joyous scene, then Sean would be in a very playful mood all day. If it was a darker, brooding scene or the scene where he loses Lucy on the stand, he would be in a quieter, darker place that day." New Line's I Am Sam Platinum Series DVD streets June 18 (prebook May 21) and includes the documentary "Becoming Sam," which looks at the inspiration, casting and creation of the characters. The DVD also has deleted scenes, which Nelson said include Sam and friends singing a karaoke rendition of "Lucy in the Sky" and a scene in which Penn and co-star Michelle Pfeiffer dance in his apartment.
Monster's Ball director Marc Forster wants to show his actors preparing for their scenes, which would lend insight into Halle Berry's Oscar-nominated performance as the widow of a death row convict.
"How Billy Bob [Thornton] and Halle were working is interesting," Forster said. "[With] Billy Bob -- even though it's a drama and it's often very intense -- the scene on the set was very light and funny. Often, he cracks jokes and entertains the entire crew and everybody's laughing. When you say action, his face changes and he becomes something totally different. It's fascinating to watch." Forster also plans to include some deleted scenes and hopes to record two commentary tracks, one from his technical perspective and another with the two lead actors. Lions Gate plans to release both the 'R'-rated theatrical cut and an unrated cut of Monster's Ball in separate editions.

How to chose the Renedian Adventures motorcycle tour that's best for you?
Answer these three questions to help you along…
1.) Can you travel to Africa at any time of the year?
Renedian Adventures run tours from July through to December to correspond with the best riding weather for any given tour. Generally speaking, we start north in the winter (Africa's winter is June-July-August) and head south as the new year approaches. Winter in Botswana and Namibia are characterized by cool nights (5C/40F), pleasant blue-sky days (25C/77F) and no rain. Our hottest temperatures happen in Spectacular South West Africa 2- we have seen 40C/104F in Namibia. Luckily, the lack of humidity makes these occasional hot days more bearable.
If you are restricted by when you can get away, here is a rough timeline:
Waterfalls and Wildlife (1st tour: JULY)
Waterfalls and Wildlife (2nd tour: AUGUST)
Victoria Falls to Cape Town (late AUGUST or early SEPTEMBER)
Spectacular South West Africa (1st tour: SEPTEMBER)
Spectacular South West Africa(2nd tour: OCTOBER)
The Garden Route (November)
2.) Do you like fun, gravel roads?
The roads on our tours are either paved or gravel. People are often impressed with the quality of the paved roads, assisted by the fact that these paved roads do not have a harsh winter to deal with. The gravel roads are good quality, wide, secondary highways. They are well crowned, but they are still made with a natural surface which changes with the amount of traffic on them and the amount of maintenance. They are generally in very good condition, however Africa is not the place to discover if you like gravel or not. For those choosing the trips that have gravel roads, please realize that the more comfortable you are on gravel in your home country, the more you will be able to enjoy your time in Africa.
We strongly encourage those riders who have been off gravel roads for a while to take a training course (or two) that will allow you to brush up on those gravel road skills and allow you to enjoy all aspects of your African ride. In Calgary we endorse the Too Cool Motorcycle School and near Toronto we support S.M.A.R.T. Training which operates out of Horseshoe Valley Resort north of Barrie.
99% paved - Waterfalls and Wildlife
75% paved – Victoria Falls to Cape Town
60% paved - Spectacular South West Africa
90% paved – The Garden Route
3.) How many animals do you want to see?
One of the major appeals of Africa of course is the wildlife. There are lovely roads all over the world, but you will only find lovely roads + giraffes + lions + African elephants + hippos… in Africa. Some riders are content with one quick photo of each of the animals they see, other riders are keen to spend all morning photographing birds. Keeping in mind that although this is an motorcycle tour and not a photographic safari, we still have many hours on some tours to devote to animal watching. Our Waterfalls and Wildlife tour is – in a practical sense – a motorcycle tour bringing you from one safari to another. The Spectacular South West Africa tour is more for the riders, and because we see less animals as part of the two week itinerary, we offer a 3-day Etosha safari add-on to the end of that tour, for those who want gravel roads and an African safari experience.
Waterfalls and Wildlife
Five safaris, flight over the Okavango Delta, and 2 riding days through National Parks with a good chances of seeing wildlife from the motorcycle
Victoria Falls to Cape Town
Four safaris, and 2 riding days through National Parks with a good chances of seeing wildlife from the motorcycle
Spectacular South West Africa
Some Namibian wildlife seen from the bikes, good chances for Southern Right whale sightings along the coast. The optional 3 day safari provides the best wildlife encounters for this trip.
The Garden Route
Two safaris at Addo Elephant National Park, good chances for Southern Right whale sightings along the coast.
Other questions about which Renedian Adventures Motorcycle Tour is Right for You?
Call us or send us an email and we'll be happy to answer all your questions!
(and remember… all our tours can be done 2-up)

Logan loves getting fucked, but rest assured he can give it just as well as he can take it. Giovanni holds onto Logan tight at 11:50 as he gets his butt pumped. Giovanni later returns the experience and gives it to Logan -- check out 22:05 to see some of the ass-flexing action!Read more »

Libby Logger Days History
|Logger Days, a community event held since 1960, is the longest running celebration in Libby. Designed to highlight Libby's logging industry and heritage, the community celebration draws people of all ages and occupations. Originally started for the men who "worked hard and played harder", the event has changed over time into one of a true community celebration.
Logger Days grew out of earlier festivals held in Libby. Starting in 1931, loggers and mill workers competed in events held annually during Labor Day. Competitions held in Pioneer Park were observed by the entire town that brought picnic lunches to watch the men competing for cash prizes and year-long bragging rights. In 1955 Libby and Bonners Ferry in Idaho started celebrating Kootenai River Days. Celebrations held in each town were organized with the main event being a raft race held over two days. Competitors would be timed as they raced from Warland to Libby and from Troy to Bonners Ferry on day two.
In 1960, the local chapter of Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) organized Libby's first Logger Days. This event still had logging competitions, it kept the popular raft race though changing it to one day only, and added a parade and carnival of amusement rides for children. Widely popular, Logger Days has remained Libby's most popular community celebration. Even during times of economic change and decline, Libby still identifies itself with its logging industry and heritage.
Education of Libby's residents and visitors takes place during Logger Days. Logging companies display and demonstrate machinery and techniques. Information booths set up by corporate forest owners and the United States Forest Service inform visitors on the role forests play in our society. Mill and lands tours historically were held for people wanting to learn more about forestry and wood products manufacturing.In these contemporary times of changing land and resource values, celebrations like Logger Days are important for keeping focus on the land surrounding Libby and it's effect on the local economy. Without this annual festival, awareness and knowledge for residents and locals alike would diminish and, over time, fade away.
Logger Days Buttons are required for entrance to Grounds. Buttons allow entrance to all festivities. Button prices are $8 in advance or $15 at the gate. Children under the age of 12 are free.Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call for more information.

Is your bodyweight more than 20% than it should be? Is your Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 25 to 29.9 or is it 30 and above? If so, then you are suffering from obesity. Obesity is a health problem characterized by saturation of glucose stores in such a way that the extra sugar taken accumulates in the blood. Obesity is an epidemic that has hit several countries in the world including the United States. Every year new cases of obesity among people and children are registered.
As mentioned earlier obesity is a problem related to health. It is a precursor 'substance' of multiple human diseases and disorders. An obese person is at a very high risk of diabetes type 2 due to high levels of blood glucose. Besides, he or she is vulnerable to high blood pressure as well as cardiovascular diseases. How is this possible? It is possible because the high concentration of solute in the blood makes the body cells loose water or fluid into the blood due to high osmotic pressure. The blood volume is directly affected; it increases above the normal capacity leading to cardiac congestion. While the blood volume increases, the lumen of the blood vessels remains the same. Blood is pumped at a much higher force therefore causing hypertension.
Another disease related to obesity is hypoxia, this is a condition whereby the entire body is deprived of oxygen, it occurs as a result of glycosylation process where blood glucose combines with hemoglobin a compound responsible for oxygen transportation. A molecule known as hemoglobin A1c is formed that cannot transport oxygen. The effects of hypoxia are indisputable, it kills the body cells and amputation of organs such as arms and legs becomes obvious. On the contrary, glucose in blood can combine with rhodopsin a sight pigment destroying it leading to impaired vision and in severe cases blindness.
The long term effects of obesity are fatal. As life is worth living and fighting for, in case of obesity one has to indulge in treatment which involves obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight. Loosing just about 5% of the weight is a tremendous progress in health. This begins with a slight drop in weight which is achieved by physical exercises, modification of diet, consuming vitamins on a daily basis and drinking a lot of water.

As the title says explicitly, the essay discusses the evolution of national sovereignty against the phenomenon of economic openness and liberalization of trade commonly known as globalization. However, the fact that the internationalization of trade is a carrier of strong ideologies makes the debate more difficult. Sovereignty is the supreme authority over a territory. It therefore seems obvious to answer to the question of loss of national sovereignty against globalization positively.

H, Vicki, and welcome! While people with liver disease tend to have their days and nights mixed up, I believe your inability to sleep more than 3 hours is due to the Prednisone. I know someone who had to go on it and he paced and paced--and lost 30 lbs. from pacing. Since Prednisone is a steroid, it can also play havoc with your emotions. What you are experiencing is probably from both the med and lack of sleep.
We have quite a few people here now with AIH, so you definitely are not alone. I certainly can see no reason you shouldn't bike, if you feel up to it. As you said, it might release some tension. Just don't race or overdo it!
It's getting late on the east coast, but I'm sure before long you will get some responses to your post.
Again, welcome!
"we paid for window. And said bad dog ,bad dog next time get the dang rooster."
June, that's the best laugh I've had in awhile! Hilarious! LOL!
Shoottherooster/Vickie, that's about the most inventive screen name I've ever seen. Glad to have you as part of this forum.
Jerry, tree decorated before Halloween? You really must have been restless!
I tried Trazedone. It put me to sleep so well that I peed the bed 2 nights in a row. That was enough for me. The melatonin is working well, but I have to combine it with 10 mg of Flexeryl. I also had strange dreams (bordering on nightmares) after a couple of weeks at 3 mg, so I cut it in half and no longer have them. The problem is that I forget to take the sleep meds an hour before I want to go to sleep. At 3 in the morning I'll remember--then sleep for 11 or 12 hours and get nothing done during the day.
Hugs all around,
Vicki, osteopenia means a loss of bone density. Ask your doctor about specific calcium + D recommendations. As Dani mentioned, exercise strengthens bones, too, so I hope you are able to get on the bike soon. You might also try some small 3-lb. weights.
Vicki, ask about Macrodantin for your UTI. I used to get them a lot and that is what worked for me. If that doesn't wipe it out, you should probably see a urologist.
I suppose your doctor has a point about the flu. Libraries are busy places with exposure to many people. Plus their hands have handled books, counters, etc. Probably a haven for germs.
Sometimes it seems like we can't win for losing, doesn't it?
Hang in there!

Unconventionally Speaking
Featuring (left to right, top to bottom): Sean, Yannick, Simen, Philipp, George, Brendon
We're not ones to shy away from colour, and we think it's a fun way to switch up your typical work look. Go bold with pants in a bright hue, simply paired with plain button down dress shirts—perfect for casual Fridays at the office, or easy-going weekends at brunch. They add that extra bit of character and personality to your outfit, and are sure to lift your mood. The daring could also try a whole lot of colour at once; if you'd like to go for patterns, we'd suggest matching the dominant hues so that the look is less overwhelming. If you'd like to start slow, however, a crisp white shirt or navy jacket will help to temper the ensemble.

Some may say that unions have had their time, but now their time is done. Others say that unions are necessary for the safety of the modern worker. Unions were initially created so that workers could have fair wages and safe working conditions without compromise. Today, however, many see unions as a costly entity that drives up consumer prices. The modern union has some advantages, but there are some disadvantages to consider as well.
What Are the Pros of Unions?
1. They support worker's rights.
Unions help to negotiate clearly defined terms that the employer and the worker must abide by. The goal is to create high levels of performance without compromising the safety or productivity of the worker. If an employer wants to cut wages, hours, or fire someone just because they don't like the color of the shirt, the union can step in and help workers find a better compromise.
2. They provide a natural network of support.
People who have friends at work are naturally more productive. Unions bring co-workers together into a natural network where everyone can benefit from the skills that each person has so that a team can be more effective. Instead of being worried about the security of their job, workers can worry about doing a good job.
3. They help to provide legal resources.
Whether it is campaigning for certain political positions or defending an employee who may be disciplined by an employer for something they didn't do, unions step up to the plate to make sure that their people have the adequate representation that is needed in most situations.
What Are the Cons of Unions?
1. They can be costly to everyone.
Workers who join a union typically pay a certain percentage of their salary as dues. Unions who represent public workers may negotiate contracts that may cost taxpayers additional money every year in some way. This means that from a financial standpoint, everyone but the union pays for their existence.
2. They don't always serve the interests of the individual worker.
To the union, the overall group is more important sometimes than the individual worker. If a new contract is being negotiated, a union may tell an employee that they do not wish to pursue a grievance that has been filed, even if it is a legitimate issue, because it may weaken their bargaining position.
3. They sometimes protect the worst employees.
Some union contracts make it virtually impossible to fire an ineffective worker. A whole chain of events may need to take place to get rid of someone who is absolutely refusing to work and this takes time and can be costly for the business. In the meantime, every other worker is forced to pick up the slack.
Unions still provide some worker advantages, especially in certain industries. There are some disadvantages to consider as well, especially in regards to cost. By weighing all of the pros and cons, each community can decide if they want to promote the use of unions for their employment.

Hi Jeff
After work, I had shut down the machines and decided to scroll the blogs to see whats going on.
I always enjoy your Rated R posts and saw Toejam's comment. Since I enjoy a good internet sleuthing exercise I decided to grab a beer and jump on it. Some searches take one or two trys, others longer. Like this image tineye had nothing worthwhile.
Google images gave the following:
As you can see there are 9 hits
I look at the URL and see if any of them look like a "good" hit. You can get key words
some of the hits or links to where they found the image.
One of our fellow bloggers used it here:
I look for the best image that might generate a lead. I found a large resolution picture here from the first hit on the previous search:
Here is the large image:
( definitely not Clint Eastwood or Phil Silvers)
Which pointed me to this french website:
From there I got the name of the movie and started searching that
It took a few beers but I finally nailed it
Thanks guys. I appreciate your posting the answer!
You're welcome Toejam. I added another comment but it didn't show? Maybe it's in moderation

Jul 29, 2014 Ashley Wolf Outdoors
Last week, local youths and seniors teamed up to build bluebird nesting boxes to be placed on the Fairchild Hill nature trail, in an attempt to bring more bluebirds to Cazenovia. The project — a coordination between Community Resources for Independent Seniors (CRIS), the Cazenovia Joint Youth Recreation Program and the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation — will not only help attract more wildlife to Cazenovia, but the activity offered an opportunity for some inter-generational teamwork.
"We are trying to find a way to teach older children how to [put away their] electronics, use tools, be constructive instead of destructive, take pride in their work, work with their hands and improve their communication skills," said Elizabeth Digiacomo, Joint Youth Recreation Program director.
The Cazenovia Joint Youth Recreation Program is a weekday summer program in Lakeland Park that has an enrollment of more than 190 campers, ages 5 to 15, with around 115 that attend per day. Campers not only enjoy sports, swimming and other recreational activities, but also work with local partner organizations to learn how they can give back to the community, learn basic lifetime skills and build relationships through mentoring from all ages, Digiacomo said.
For the bluebird house project, Digiacomo reached out to CRIS to find a project that would interest older campers and that would be resourceful for the community as a whole. CRIS, which helps to provide at-home services to help senior residents stay in their homes for as long as possible, was happy to be involved because it brings a better sense of community to both the seniors and the campers, said Liz Poda, CRIS executive director.
"It's neat because this has to deal with nature and kids. [Helping with] the needs in the community to preserve the bluebird population in the state is great for the interaction between seniors and kids," Poda said.
The campers were seated at a long wooden picnic table where they were given a nesting box kit with screw drivers, drills, nails and hemlock wood that was already shaped and designed for the nesting boxes by CRIS board member Peter Barth and CRIS volunteer Kurt Paddock.
Hemlock was the best type of wood to use because it is durable and will provide a safe space for the bluebirds, and was more financially accessible, said Steve Burrell, the donator of the activity's supplies and a driver for CRIS Cabs.
"With hemlock, there's no need for it to be painted, it lasts for many years and it's cheaper than cedar, another nesting box wood," Burrell said. "This project gives kids hands-on experience with carpentry and will hopefully attract bluebirds, the state bird, to the community."
In September, the same youth who assembled the nesting boxes this summer will be invited by the CPF to install the boxes on the Fairchild Hill hiking trail as part of a dedication ceremony on Sept. 20, Poda said.
Bluebird nesting boxes are "critical" for the species, and creating a "bluebird trail" on Fairchild Hill will be a benefit not only to the bluebirds but also to the Cazenovia community, said CPF Director Judy Gianforte.
"This is an exciting project, it's a great collaboration between three organizations that don't usually interact with one another," Gianforte said.
Once the nesting boxes are erected in September, the campers will be able to walk the trails and find the bluebird nesting box they built by reading the initials on the bottom of the house that were stamped in with a hammer.

Picture: George Michael attends the Linda McCartney Photographs - Private View at the James Hyman Gallery. London, England - 23.04.08
Pop superstar George Michael performed a special concert yesterday (20DEC06) to pay tribute to the British nurses who cared for his late mother during the last weeks of her life.
The FAITH singer's mum LESLEY PANOS died of cancer almost a decade ago and Michael swore he would put on a free show to thank the nurses who eased her pain if he ever toured again.
Michael told the audience of 2,000 nurses at London's Roundhouse venue, "Thank you to every single one of you. I salute you - and this evening is 100 per cent me saying 'Thank you' to you."
Yesterday's show was the last on Michael's sell-out European 25 Live tour - his first tour in 15 years.

Bringing Forefront Science to Religion Reporters
The nation's religion reporters are often tasked with interpreting science advances in light of religious values, but may lack the technical proficiency in science and technology to do so effectively. This project offers science enrichment opportunities to this pool of specialized journalists through two venues: science-related talks at the annual meeting of the Religion News Association and an award contest that supports the attendance of religion reporters at the AAAS Annual Meeting.
In 2016, DoSER hosted a conversation about "The Cognitive and Moral Capacities of Animals" at the annual RNA meeting in Silver Spring, Maryland. Then, four religion journalists were selected by an independent panel of journalist judges to attend the 2017 AAAS Annual Meeting in Boston.
Stories* that emerged from this cohort of award winners based on their experience at the 2017 AAAS Annual Meeting include the following:

Stories* that emerged from the first cohort of award winners based on their experience at the AAAS Annual Meeting include the following:

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England in the wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Osmont family lived in Dorset. The name, however, is a reference to Osmandville, on the River Bire in Bessin, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Osmont Early Origins
Dorset at Melbury Osmond, a village and civil parish in the union of Beaminster, hundred of Yetminster that dates back to 1283 when it was first listed as Melebur Osmund. "Melbury" roughly means "multi-coloured fortified place" from the Old English "maele" + burh." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Hence collectively the place name meant "fortified place of a man called Osmund." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Little is known about the place name other than the parish church, St. Osmund's was thought to have been built before 1550. It was completely rebuilt in 1745.
Osmont Spelling Variations
Osmont Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Osmont family name include Osmond, Osmund, Osmont, Osmonde, Osmand, Osman, Ozment and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Osmont family to immigrate North America:

Building Minnesota Timberwolves' Ideal Starting Lineup Post-Kevin Love TradeAugust 27, 2014
Building Minnesota Timberwolves' Ideal Starting Lineup Post-Kevin Love Trade
Buh-bye, Kevin Love.
Hello, future.
With Love officially a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, tomorrow starts today for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Work needs to be done on the heels of acquiring Andrew Wiggins, Thaddeus Young and Anthony Bennett. Rotations must be solidified. Roles need to be hashed out.
The ideal starting lineup must be built.
Fortunately for president and coach Flip Saunders, this is a good problem to have. Luckier still, we have him covered.
Figuring out who the Timberwolves must start on opening night isn't incredibly difficult. Short-term goals demand they field the right blend of talent, experience and potential to play beside one another.
Long-term aims might manipulate that focus later on, but for now there are five guys—new and old—ready to give Minnesota a taste of the ideal.
Point Guard: Ricky Rubio
Age: 23
Years Experience: 3
2013-14 Stats: 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 2.3 steals, 38.1 percent shooting, 15.4 PER
Ricky Rubio could not have asked for a better supporting cast to start the post-Love era.
The Timberwolves—who ranked fourth in possessions used per 48 minutes last year—are built to run even more. There isn't necessarily a point guard in the league better suited to pilot Minnesota's new core, and he's already on the team.
While still raw on the offensive end—his jumper remains weak, and he's not one to look for his own shot in general—Rubio's calculated incisions perfectly complement Minnesota's newcomers. Fast breaks should be a staple in this offense, allowing Rubio to push the tempo as much as he wants.
There's value in Rubio's defensive performance as well. He can take too many chances and is rarely able to catch up with those who beat him off the dribble, but he has quick hands that force steals in volume.
This Timberwolves team is Rubio's. Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News says the point guard's agent wants a max contract extension for his client. Though unlikely no matter what happens, this is Rubio's opportunity to showcase his value, legitimize his ceiling and assume control of what is now, for better or worse, his team.
Shooting Guard: Kevin Martin
Age: 31
Years Experience: 10
2013-14 Stats: 19.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 43 percent shooting, 16.3 PER
Kevin Martin isn't going anywhere.
Had Klay Thompson been forced to shop for turtleneck sweaters and thermal underwear, there's a chance Martin would be trying to sneak into R-rated movies with Stephen Curry by now. But Love is with the Cavaliers, so according to Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Martin will stay put.
It's not hard to see why, either. Of all the things these Timberwolves are built to do—run, pass, run, run, not protect the rim, run, defend on the perimeter, run, run—converting three-pointers isn't one of them. Shooting from anywhere on the perimeter figures to be tough.
The Timberwolves ranked 26th in three-point percentage last season, draining only 34.1 percent of their bombs. That was with Love and Martin putting in at least 37 percent of their long balls.
Sans Love's outside touch, the Timberwolves need Martin. He's their most established scorer at this point, more so than Nikola Pekovic or Thaddeus Young.
Expect him to get some serious reps up as the team's starting shooting guard and lone semi-accurate chucker.
Small Forward: Andrew Wiggins
Age: 19
Years Experience: 0
2013-14 Stats (College): 17.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks, 44.8 percent shooting, 21.4 PER
Some see Wiggins as a shooting guard, but standing at 6'8" and armed with unparalleled athleticism, he's really a small forward—especially on this Timberwolves team.
Wiggins is the reason Love was sent to Cleveland. Without him and his fortune-turning potential, the Timberwolves would have had little to no incentive to entertain the Cavaliers' interest.
And for all the talk about his weaknesses—specifically that of his on-court passivity—the Timberwolves have still acquired someone whose basement beats out most ceilings. There's justification behind believing he's a work in progress, but the potentially great easily outweighs the imminetly bad.
Wrote blogger VJL110 of Canis Hoopus:
There is real reason to be concerned about Wiggins, so it is too early to pencil him in as the next superstar to eventually leave the Timberwolves. However, Wiggins is an impressive prospect with the ideal combination of physical tools and inchoate ball-skills. Wings like this do not come around often.
Get excited. This may actually work.
Immediately inserting him into the starting lineup is the way this should work. Throw him into the fray. Baptise him by fire. Make him adjust to Rubio and develop his jumper and hone his defensive acuity against the NBA's best.
There's no point in doing anything else. The Timberwolves don't exist to win championships at the moment. They're playing for the future. Rubio may be their foundation now, but Wiggins is the reason Minnesota is here, without Love, trying to get its rebuilding strategy right this time.
Starting Wiggins and gleaning insight into who he is as quickly as possible is the only way to effectively hit reset and move on.
Power Forward: Thaddeus Young
Age: 26
Years Experience: 7
2013-14 Stats: 17.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.1 steals, 45.4 percent shooting, 16.6 PER
Young isn't in Minnesota to replace Love. There is no replacing Love. There is only hoping Young can begin to fill the void Love left behind for more than just next season.
Free agency is a factor in Young's future with the Timberwolves. He can reach the open market by exercising his early termination option next summer, at which point he could leave Minnesota.
"Young probably deserved a better fate," writes FiveThirtyEight.com's Neil Paine, "but his skill set and still-in-his-prime age means he'll either help a fledgling Wolves team buck those odds, or he'll be sought-after in next summer's free-agent market."
The best way for the Timberwolves to gain the inside track on his return—aside from owning his Bird rights—is to use him, rely on him. Start him alongside Rubio and Wiggins and hope he enjoys the high-octane offense Minnesota should run.
Value him in ways the tanking Philadelphia 76ers clearly didn't.
"I'm ready to get to work," Young said at his introductory presser. "I'm ready to get this team back to the playoffs. It's been too long."
Although the decade-long playoff drought doesn't figure to end right away, Young's commitment, in-the-moment as it seems, means the Timberwolves may have found yet another building block with Love's departure.
Young is experienced enough to make an impact now but still at a point in his career where he can help headline what happens later.
Center: Nikola Pekovic
Age: 28
Years Experience: 4
2013-14 Stats: 17.5 points, 8.7 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks, 54.1 percent shooting, 20.7 PER
Continuing to unleash The Pekovic from the jump is the only option Minnesota has. Right now.
Pekovic isn't the ideal center for these new-look, athletically inclined Timberwolves. He's big and strong and can certainly score, but his slow feet don't fit the bill for a team that should be running and gunning.
He's also unlikely to help out defensively. The Timberwolves continue to lack an actual rim protector, as it's become abundantly clear Pekovic isn't that guy. He ranked 69 out of 77 in opponent's field-goal percentage at the rim among players who faced at least five iron attempts per game last year.
In the interim, though, Pekovic makes the most sense. This team isn't heavy on dependable scoring post-Love. Players such as Rubio, Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Zach LaVine are wild cards.
Pekovic is essential at the beginning if the Timberwolves' offense wants to be watchable, or if they still plan on running pick-and-rolls. He ranked in the top 15 of pick-and-roll efficiency as the roll man last season, according to Synergy Sports (subscription required).
Plus, maybe Pekovic proves to be a more valuable defender within a design that (hopefully) won't call for the Timberwolves to actively avoid fouling.
Hey, you never know...until you try.
Which, right now, the Timberwolves must.
Final Thoughts
Perception of the ideal stands to change in Minnesota.
The aforementioned five should be locks to start opening night, but as the season wears on, changes could be made.
LaVine and Gorgui Dieng are two players who should arguably supplant Martin and Pekovic. They're younger and keep more in theme with Minnesota's rebuilding efforts.
But Saunders cannot justify benching Martin just yet on a team nearly devoid of shooting. He cannot sell benching Pekovic for a sophomore like Dieng when the former's owed nearly $48 million over the next four years.
Not yet.
Eventually, maybe. Trades could be brokered. Roles could change. The Timberwolves could be better or worse than expected, then go from there.
For now, Rubio, Martin, Wiggins, Young and Pekovic offer a nice balance between inexperienced and established.
When the regular season starts, so too should they.

Robbie Maddison
Robbie Maddison twisted his first throttle at the age of four, started racing at six years old, and by the time he was 16, he'd tucked the Australian national amateur championship under his belt. Then, turning away from racing, he followed the career of an electrician… until some old Aussie MX icons throwing down freestyle tricks, back in 2002 inspired him. "Maddo" has been performing ever since. He's set jump-distance records, soared up onto and off of the Arc de Triomphe replica in Vegas, backflipped London's Tower Bridge, jumped the start gantry at Formula One in Melbourne, and then the Corinth Canal in Greece. For 2011 Red Bull: New Year. No Limits, Robbie landed an amazing jump – in tandem with Levi LaVallee – over the San Diego Harbor and promised he'd go even farther next time.

I have been looking so forward to Kelli and Chris' wedding day ever since I shot their engagement photos last fall (which I just realized I never blogged-ah!) Getting a couple to feel comfortable in front of the camera can be challenging at times, but every time Kelli and Chris have been in front of my lens it's a dream come true. These two share such a sweet connection and have no problem falling into a comfortable love no matter who is watching. Every time you see that gorgeous ear to ear smile on Kelli? I'm pretty sure Chris was around
I've said this before and these photos prove it. You guys are way cooler than me.
Everyone wants to go back to their wedding day and exit like this, am I right?!
And I'll end with this one, because what could possibly top your identical twinner catching your bouquet on your wedding day?!
