What can possibly be said about Habana Outpost that has not been said before? The place is downright amazing and deserves every drunken giggle of delight that it has created.
The food? Impeccable. The booze? Fantastic. The vibes? Outstanding.
Unarguably the best seasonal drinking locale this side of a beach blanket in the Rockaways, Habana Outpost has been serving up eco-inspired summer offerings since 2005. The space initially served as owner Sean Meenan's spin-off environmental project for his flagship Habana Cafe in Nolita, but has since developed a cult following all of its own. Last year, the franchise officially went bi-coastal with a much-anticipated new location in Malibu.
Back in Brooklyn, the Fulton Street jewel re-opened last week with the same bag of tricks that have been bringing in the crowds for years, minus one signature piece of the Habana Outpost decor: The food truck.
"It just wasn't practical anymore," said veteran bartender Katie Costanza, "It was too small, too old, and there were just too many guys in there. I loved that thing but, I mean, it was a busted old postal truck, not a kitchen."
The funky truck has been retired and replaced by a state-of-the-art trailer, although the menu has not changed. Constanza also noted that there is hope of creating another kitchen in the basement, which would allow for an expanded menu and possibly the introduction of winter operating hours.
Habana Outpost still has the cheapest quality draught in town at $2.75 for a pint from local favorites Kelso and Six Point Brewery. Margaritas and Mojitos aren't cheap at $7.25, but you would be hard-pressed to find one more delicious. And then, of course, there is the famous grilled corn.
"I've been coming here for about two years," said regular Al Adams, "and I don't leave without the corn. Period."
Habana Outpost has accomplished a nearly impossible feat by seamlessly and stylishly integrating genuine eco-consciousness into its everyday routine. Furthermore, it has accomplished this task without scaring off the cosmopolitan gentry of Brooklyn with heavy-handed hippie rhetoric. Nearly six years since its inception, the place still feels fresh and has provided inspiration for countless restaurateurs looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Now in its fifth year of operation, the non-profit Habana Works continues to use the Brooklyn restaurant as its base of operation and has provided environmental education services to children throughout New York City. The organization has integrated many of the environmental projects at the site into its curriculum and hosts dozens of events every year celebrating the creative uses of conservation-minded design.
On Saturday, May 14th, Habana Outpost will be kicking off the season with a public block party complete with "bands, games, food and fashion."
Expect Latin flavors and don't forget to pray for sun.

Barack Obama and Vote Rankings
by Jonathan Singer, Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 10:13:37 AM EST
Please Support the MyDD Fundraiser Today
As you very well might have seen by this point, National Journal has ranked Barack Obama as the most liberal Senator in 2007 using a somewhat quizzical methodology. Think you've heard a similar story before? Perhaps it's because the publication did the same thing four years ago to John Kerry. Here's the lede from the folks at NJ (who I don't generally have a beef with and in fact really enjoy reading material from, whether through the Hotline or elsewhere):
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate.
Leaving aside a debate over whether it's good or not for a presidential candidate to be labeled as the most liberal member of the United States Senate (or the most conservative, for that matter) -- that's really a debate for another post -- was Obama really the most consistently liberal member of the Senate last year? It depends on how you count votes.
Like other presidential candidates coming out of the Senate, Obama missed a lot of votes in 2007 -- one-third of those tallied by NJ, in fact, according to partner site First Read. If you only count those roll call votes, Obama indeed was the most liberal Senator. Similarly, Joe Biden, who presumably also missed quite a few votes last year, ranked as the third most liberal member of the chamber despite the fact that he has generally found himself to be in the center of his party (he was just to the right of the median Democrat in 2006 when he missed far fewer votes, according to NJ rankings).
But when you look at the whole picture, as I believe you should, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that ranking a member who missed a significant number of votes in order to run for President solely on those votes that he or she made (rather than all of the votes being counted for the overall metric) is fuzzy math (as someone once put it...). And this isn't the first time that NJ has engaged in such gaming of the numbers, either.
In 2004, the publication released numbers on Kerry showing him to have been the most liberal member of the Senate during the previous year despite the fact that he, too, had missed a large portion of votes in question (in that case, over half). As a result of the embarrassment and headaches that ensued from publishing numbers that weren't truly reflective of Kerry's voting record -- and having those numbers be bandied about during the 2004 general election -- NJ decided to tighten up its standards. But it did not go far enough (though it did go far enough to get John McCain's votes not to be scrutinized, interestingly enough).
If you play games with numbers enough, you can come up with just about any result. And it seems like this is just what NJ did again this year even though it purported to try not to after 2004. What makes matters worse, the publication released these numbers a full month before it historically releases these numbers -- and only released them on the presidential candidates.
It could be that Obama would have ranked as the most liberal Senator in 2007 (from 16th in 2005 and 10th in 2006), and Biden the third and Hillary Clinton (who missed close to one-fifth of votes) the 16th had they voted on every roll call before the Senate in 2007 (or at least a significantly larger portion of the votes). But that's something we can't know because they were all out on the hustings running for President. And as a result, at least in my view, it makes it at least a bit irresponsible to nonetheless label Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate in 2007.

Quote:As for lower read noise - as I've been saying - it all depends on your camera, optics, and site. You can turn a "bright" site into a dark one just by increasing the f/ratio or using a narrower filter. It's all about the actual sky flux you are receiving and the actual read noise you have.
Quote:The dark sky results show that increasing exposure beyond the 5 minutes of your example would be useful, and this explains why the experts at dark sky sites insist that longer exposures are beneficial, they are much more so for them.
I wonder, how long professional astronomers expose for, they have perfect equipment at very dark sites and are trying to get the most out of very dim objects. Does anyone know how long the individual exposures in the Hubble deep field were?
Quote:As for the claim that increasing exposure length, even from from 10 to 15 minutes, makes a difference to resolution and contrast we have been given no evidence that this is so
Quote: Somehow the object S/N is completely missing from the Franks presentation. I am afraid this will only add to the misconception that you need sky glow in your images.
Quote:Pater -one other note: you should probably study the actual dark current you are getting at that temperature - by comparing 15m darks and 30m darks. If there is, in fact, some dark current causing the background signal, then you might have a way to reduce it - as opposed to sky background that you are stuck with.Frank
Quote:Hi Frank,Try these numbers I found from another person's Atik 460EX camera:Gain = 0.26Readout Noise = 4.79e-Total System Noise = 5.10e-Temperature was at -15C. Thanks,Peter
Quote:You tell that to John Smith, Frank. I'd bet he'll disagree with you. You can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com It's not that the same noise isn't there at a dark site, it just shows more because the sky glow is signal and that "signal" hides the noise at a more LP site. Of course that sky glow signal has other problems with it such as limiting exposures.

VIDEO GAMES ARE BIG BUSINESS, multi-billion dollar big, but some of the ways in which video game producers and distributers get some of that money from gamers are pretty shady, some might even call them scams. Like I just did. Here are a few of worst:
The original video game ripoff! Unscrupulous arcade owners would literally double the price of their most popular games and somehow not reduce the line-ups to play them, doubling their profits. Imagine you're just a regular kid in the '80s who would drop his allowance at the arcade every week, and one day you find some asshole has gone and stuck a hand-written "Two quarters to play" sign next to the coin slot. Suddenly you're video game budget only stretches half as far, you're pissed, but what can you do when the only way to play Pac-Man or Street Fighter is to do it in the arcade? What, are you going to not play video games?
And that's how they got you, back in the day.
Because why should users only have to pay for the game once? Wouldn't it be better if they kept paying month after month? Said every greedy game developer. This is one of the worst and most successful scams video game producers have managed to pull. Somehow they've got people believing that they should have to pay each month for a game that never really changes.
Time was, developers made a game, advertised the hell out of it and then hoped gamers bought it. Not any more. Game developers are always looking for ways to keep you playing, and paying, like making you repeat to same actions hundreds of time in the name of 'experience points' you need to move on to somewhat new game play.
Whatever happened to the good old days when you earned better equipment and skills by advancing through the game or having a cheat code?
This switch to making people pay for their upgrades is a cash grab plain and simple. And so often the purchase doesn't really get you anything but items that change the game experience in no way whatsoever!
In many titles, all you get for your money is a different colored shirt, alternate uniforms or outfits, the donning of which affects nothing. In other games you will never really be able to win if you don't pay to upgrade your weapons or magic or skills, because they are designed to be nearly impossible to beat with the default options—never actually impossible, just so frustratingly difficult that you cave and buy the upgrade.
Okay, fine some expansion packs do offer some new game play at an affordable price, but too often they are just another level of the same old thing you've already paid for when you bought the game. In this way they are a brilliant little moneymaker for game developers and producers: Expansion packs simply recycle the game with a "new" location—which is actually an old one inverted or with an extra bush or two, or maybe an extra villain or two, or an identical level now available for multiplayer play.
It costs developers almost nothing to swing this manoeuvre, and gamers are paying $5 a piece for them.
And just in case you might catch on to the fact that you're not getting much bang for your buck, and stop buying expansion packs, game producers include free bonus items—again generally little besides a change of clothes—only available to those gamers who have purchased all of the available expansion packs.
Keep playing our game or we will take away things you've already earned/paid for. This is the biggest dick move of all, it's like a company sells you a product, say a power tool, and then when they discover you aren't using it as much as when you first bought it they start taking away attachments, and when you notice and get upset they offer to sell them back to you.
Pretty soon you learn to keep using your power tool lest you lose it all together. Think FarmVille crops that wither and die and how Trudy in HR is always rushing home to harvest.
Behavioral psychologists call this "avoidance," but game developers call it a cash cow, because gamers want to avoid the in-game negative consequences so badly they ignore the negative consequences on their wallet.

Columbus State University students Ernestine Dozier and Amaka Iloegbunam were honored Tuesday as the first recipients of the Thomas Keith Slay Memorial Scholarships during a ceremony in the University Hall lobby, but the idea for the fund that honors the fallen police officer was sparked along a motorcycle ride across America last year.
Brian Brock, market manager for the Columbus branch of W.W. Grainger Inc., an international industrial supply company headquartered in Lake Forest, Ill., was among the 12 participants who rode their motorcycles through the 48 continental United States in Scott's Ride for Miracles, the annual fundraiser Country's Barbecue co-owner Scott Ressmeyer leads to benefit the Children's Miracle Network at Midtown Medical Center.
For a hotel roommate, Brock was paired with retired Columbus Police Department officer Rick Stinson, who was special agent in charge of the Metro Narcotics Drugs Task Force.
"Rick taught me about the sacrifices that a person who chooses law enforcement for a career makes," Brock said.
One of their stops was in Washington, where Stinson urged his fellow riders to visit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Stinson and Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley, another rider, told Brock about fallen colleagues.
"The memorial is a very reverent place," Brock said. "I was humbled to be there, but I was more humbled to be there with Sheriff Jolley and with Rick."
The riders returned to Columbus in May. A month later, Cpl. Slay was killed in a car accident while on duty. He served in local law enforcement for more than 30 years, first in the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, then with the police.
"I did not know Officer Slay, although I have many other friends in the department." Brock said. "I knew that Rick knew Keith very well, and after the accident, I called Rick and I said, 'Rick, I've got an idea,' and he took it from there."
Brock's suggestion led to the Grainger Foundation starting the fund for the scholarships.
"This is about remembering a fallen officer," Brock said. "This is about ensuring the future of superior law enforcement in our community."
In 2003, Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren asked Slay to set up the narcotics task force's first aviation program, which became the best in the state, Stinson said.
Stinson confessed that he is so afraid of heights that he doesn't like to climb ladders, but he had no doubts about flying with Slay as the helicopter pilot because he trusted him so much. Stinson choked up as he called the scholarship another example of Slay helping people.
"I think he'd be proud," Stinson said. "I hate that we're doing this in his name because of why, but I'm proud for the recipients."
Then he turned to Dozier and Iloegbunam and added, "I hope that you can get into the criminal justice field. And if you do half the job that Keith did, you'll be great."
The students made it clear they understand Slay's legacy.
"I didn't know him personally, but, from what I've heard, he was an awesome man and gave back to his community and cared about his community," said Iloegbunam, 21, from Grayson, Ga. "So knowing that and receiving this scholarship in his honor makes me want to be a better person."
She also wants to be a criminal defense attorney after she graduates in December.
"You have the misconception that criminals are always guilty," she said. "I want to give people a voice and help them."
Dozier's goal is to become a lawyer as well "to help those less fortunate. So many people just don't know their rights. They don't know the law. I want to give back."
Dozier, 57, retired in 2007 from the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office after 14 years as a court liaison. She moved to Columbus to live closer to her daughter and pursue her bachelor's degree.
"I didn't have it at the time," she said, "and that's a glass ceiling."
She told the crowd during the ceremony, "This scholarship is a reminder of the Constitution and its guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Therefore, there will be opportunities. But you have to be prepared. Without the opportunity, the guarantee is just an empty promise. Cpl. Slay shared the opportunity by serving others. Thank you for honoring his memory."
Faculty in the CSU Department of Criminal Justice and Sociology selected the scholarship recipients in consultation with department chairman Michael Bailey. The criteria includes grade-point average, performance in the classroom and involvement on campus and in the community
Bailey worked with Slay in the sheriff's department.
"He was a special individual," Bailey said. "Sharp, intellectual, bright in every way you can imagine."
Bailey recalled asking Slay, "With all this knowledge you have and all this experience, don't you think you can go get a better job somewhere?"
Slay replied, Bailey said, "It's not always about the money I think Keith loved what he was doing."HOW TO HELP

Maruti Suzuki Alto is not only one of the most popular compact car in the country but the best-selling car in the Indian market. It is exported to various Southeast Asian countries including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and Chile. Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is equipped with the advanced offering from the company, the K-Series engine. The new Alto K10, which is BS-IV, E-10 and ELV compliant, is available in two variants-the LXi and the VXi. The new Alto K10 now boasts of a number of new features such as tinted glasses and a new cable transmission. The car now also gets Central Locking System a collapsible steering column and front fog lights.
The new Alto K10, with its potent engine and sturdy built, is just right for the Indian roads. The low maintenance and highly fuel efficient car will be just perfect for the average Indian working class. In addition to this, Maruti Suzuki's wide service network, combined with the competitive pricing would help strengthen the sales of the car.
The new Alto K10 will be available in six colours i.e Sunlight Copper, Fire Brick Red, Ecru Beige, Midnight Black, Superior White and Silky Silver.
The new engine embedded in the A-star, WagonR, and Estilo has been well accepted by Indian consumers. The 998 cc K-Series engine fitted in the Alto K10 makes the car even more exciting. To make space for this engine, Maruti Suzuki has stretched the Alto by 125 mm.
The K10's advanced fuel efficient 3-cylinder engine spews out 67 bhp @ 6200 rpm and delivers a peak torque of 90 Nm @ 3500 rpm. The car can leap from a standstill to 100 km/h in merely 13.3 seconds. Unlike the earlier Alto's Lever Shift Mechanism, the 998 cc K-Series engine has been coupled with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission with Cable Gear Shift.
The powerful engine ensures superior ride quality too. It suffers no strain letting occupants enjoy a pleasant and comfortable ride. NVH levels are low, but the engine may cry while revving hard. The stiff suspension soaks up bumps like a pro and brakes are highly responsive too. The front suspension has a McPherson Strut with torsion type roll control device, while the rear sports coil spring gas-filled shock absorbers with three link rigid axle and isolated trailing arms. A taut chassis gives the Alto K10 its fabulous driving character. The Alto K10 is BS-IV, E-10 and ELV compliant.
The Alto has been upgraded inside and out with new headlamps, a fresh radiator grille and enhanced interiors. Ritzy fog lamps are something extra we will get to behold in the new Alto model. However, though the car has been stretched in length to incorporate the new engine, the wheelbase remains the same.
The rear fascia of the Maruti Suzuki Alto has suffered a minor facelift giving the K10 a fresher form. The back door has been newly designed and the new set of rear combination lights adds to the car's elegance. The dome-shaped tail lamps blink in style. 13-inch tubeless tyres come as standard. The Alto K10 has ample ground clearance of 160 mm and it finds no difficulty in quick turns and manoeuvres. It has a turning radius of 4.6 metre.
As for the interiors, they show off a dual-tone finish and a new racy instrument cluster with tachometer, an amber-illuminated speedometer, an electronic trip meter and a remote fuel lid opener. A vanity mirror and a nice rear parcel tray add modishness to the otherwise meek and humble Alto K10. Maruti Suzuki has enhanced features in this new Alto. The K10 comes with a stylish 3-spoke collapsible steering column further making the driver's life easy.
Power steering, internally adjustable ORVM, power windows for front passengers, stylish gear knob, remote boot opener and accessory socket come standard in the Alto K10. In case you forget your keys inside the car, never mind; there is the key reminder. The car also finally gets its Central Locking System.
Side impact door beams, a child safety lock, a high rigid monocoque frame made of high tensile steel, front and rear seat belts, booster-assisted brakes and rear seat head restraints ensure safety. Build quality has been enhanced and there's decent storage space with convenient cup holders, twin glove boxes and door pockets. Cargo space is plentiful too.

Remember always: REACH, THROW, but only GO with training and equipment.
Here's How:
- Stay Safe. Wear a personal flotation device if available. The most important thing to remember is not to become a victim yourself.
- If more than one rescuer is available, have someone call 911 immediately. Remember, if calling 911 from a cell phone, be sure to say your location carefully and do not hang up until the 911 dispatcher tells you to do so.
- If the victim is conscious, try to reach the victim with something rigid enough to pull him or her back. An oar is a good option.
- If nothing will reach, throw the victim a rope and encourage him or her to grab on. A life-preserver with a rope attached is a very good option.
- If the victim is too far for a rope, then there are few additional options for untrained rescuers. Make sure 911 has been called. If enough people are available, try making a chain by holding hands out to the victim. A rescuer may try swimming out to the victim, but follow these steps:
- Tie a rope around the rescuer's waist before heading out to the victim and have someone on shore or on a nearby boat holding the rope.
- Take a pole, oar, rope, or other object to reach the victim. Rescuers should not attempt to directly touch a panicking drowning victim.
- If the victim is unconscious, take a boat to the victim or tie a rope around the rescuer's waist and let the rescuer pull the victim to shore.
- Once a drowning victim is safely out of the water, perform basic first aid. In cold weather, remove the victim's wet clothing - all the way. Cover the victim with a blanket and watch for symptoms of hypothermia. If the victim is not breathing, begin CPR.
- All victims of near drowning need medical attention. Water in the lungs, even small amounts, can lead to them filling with fluid later. Called "dry drowning," this condition can be fatal.
Closely watch anyone who chokes on water while swimming, especially if swimming in anything other than a pool.
- Only swim in areas protected by lifeguards. Swimmers at a lifeguard-protected ocean beach have only a 1 in 18 million chance of drowning, according to the CDC.
- If an unconscious victim is found in the water with no witnesses, always assume the victim has a neck injury.
What You Need

I like music and I have opinions. And stuff. So here's my too late review of Drake's Take Care. Yeah, the album came out last week. Sorry for the wait, Drake.
If you liked the more boisterous moments of Drake's Thank Me Later, you might be disappointed the rapper appears to have spent more time lately entertaining guests at home than in the club. The rapper's followup album, Take Care, is definitely a much quieter effort. It certainly wouldn't pass the MC Serch Club
Banger Challenge. But if you enjoyed the softer moments of Drake's debut, slap on your extra melancholy headphones: Canada's favourite sort-of chanteur has taken that solemn ball and run with it (or wheeled it for fans of Jimmy Brooks.)
That's it, really. The album is good. Maybe even great. Definitely different.
If you want a bossy club track, you'll have to wait for the new Rick Ross (I know I will be). Like fake rap violence? Talk of guns? Drug trafficking? You'll have to wait for that, too. Drake's a different kind of rapper. But fear not impressionable teens, he's still drinking, sleeping with women, spending flashy amounts of cash and bragging about it. He's not that different.
But this is the post-bling era (yeah, I'm using that). What separates Drake from, let's say, Chingy — is that, while he revels in a lavish lifestyle and sexual gluttony, when Drake goes home, he feels bad about it (that's a whole new kind of conflict diamond).
Take Marvin's Room, where Drake observes:
I think I'm addicted to naked pictures
And sittin talkin' 'bout bitches
that we almost had
I don't think I'm concious of making monsters
Outta the women I sponsor til it all goes bad
I GET that, man. We're not so different, Drake.
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels I'm ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won't say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
I've had sex four times this week I'll explain
OK, maybe not.
Still, when Drake raps "Rich off a mix tape, got rich off a mix tape," I sing along — saying "got sick off a blitz cake" — and pretend that we're friends.
Me: Hey man, when you were on that TV show, did you ever hook up with that Ellie Nash girl. Girl was fine.
Drake: I'm a professional. What do you take me for, an old rake?
Me: Snake?
Take Care is the album your younger brother would make if he got rich, started living excessively and had to come clean about his reckless behaviour to your mother (and set that statement to a beat). But Drake isn't offering an apology. All your mother can say is "Take care, kid. I know you can make it through." The rest of us get to sit back and watch (and listen). Should be fun.
Note: Many of the usual suspects cameo on the disc, but where are the Canadians, Drake? You're Canada's rap ambassador! It's your job to tell our southern neighbours, "I'm not the only one who can do this." Where's k-os? Or Shad? What about Classified? Give these guys a break. Barington Levy clearly isn't going to return the favour. By the time Nelly Furtado gets around to launching a comeback, Saukrates is going to be too old for the hairstyle I assume he still has. All of the Canucks on Take Care are behind the scenes: Friend and frequent producer 40 is back, of course, and even Chantal Kreviazuk picks up a writing credit. Good pick boss, because if there's one person who needed a boost of credibility in Atlanta hip hop circles, it's Mrs. Raine Maida.

Tribal leaders, members and environmental officials were joined by state and local environmental and other government officials gathered Tuesday to celebrate the completion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act portion of the Bishop-Paiute Native Fish Refuge, which is on the Bishop reservation.
In an effort to preserve the endangered pupfish, a species that was crucial, as a winter protein source, to Native people's survival for thousands of years, the project included construction of two habitat ponds for a rare species of native fish as well as a half-mile of interpretive pathways.
In the larger scope of things, the ponds serve as a cultural link between the past and the present.
Brian Adkins, director of environmental operations for Bishop Paiute Tribe, has been working on this project from its inception 10 years ago, when there was only a $5,000 budget for planning, leading and collaborating to get to this point, the commemorative ceremony in honor of a tiny survivor of the ravages foreign species.
At the ceremony, special guest and fishery biologist Phil Pister, now retired from California Fish and Game, explained that at the end of the last ice age there were "lots of lakes and lots of pupfish." Then, in the mid-1800s, "white men" came and it all "fell apart … To show how close to extinction this little fellow was, in 1969 I held the entire world population in two buckets … They were one step away from extinction. Where we go from here, is up to us."
The goal of the project was to provide a home for the endangered, native species, however, introduction of the pupfish themselves has come to a screeching halt – at least for right now.
The LADWP has raised concerns that, should the endangered species break out of the recently constructed ponds and into the agency's system of ditches and canals, those parts of their system would become off-limits to protect the pupfish.
Because the pupfish are endangered, if DWP kills any in the process of cleaning a nearby ditch, they would be liable, facing heavy penalties.
So in a sense, the laws that were created to protect the pupfish are now the laws that are standing in the way of them getting into this refuge to be protected.
Adkins said no pupfish could be released this week without the go-ahead from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He added that project organizers have "had a great working relationship with them," and the team will continue working to obtain an incidental-take permit, which will allow the tribe to move forward.
The Safe Harbor Policy's incidental-take permit allows landowners to "increase habitat, introduce habitat and introduce endangered species" without negative impacts if some endangered animals are inadvertently killed in the process.
The tribe has been planning from the beginning to contain the pupfish in the ponds, but concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of the measures in place.
"We do have a barrier that (the pupfish) shouldn't go through but I don't think (LADWP) thinks it's sufficient; it's not foolproof," Williams said.
While the introduction of the pupfish is being held up by bureaucratic red tape, the tribe is moving forward with its plans to provide a new educational refuge for residents and a glimpse of how the fish have played a roll in the Owens Valley since before recorded history.
Adkins said the tribe hopes to connect the pond with elementary and middle school via a gated path. The idea is that it would provide easy access for students and teachers for science, art and other educational tours and fieldtrips, which may include use of Paiute-Shoshone Cultural Center.
That's where Raymond Andrews, of the Tribal Preservation Office comes in. He will lead educational Fish Refuge tours along the interpretive, plaque-lined pathways, educating visitors about the fish as well as the refuge's plant life and their medicinal and other uses
"This (refuge) is here especially for the children," Andrews said. But for now, Andrews, mindfully honoring nature, said, "we don't' want to disturb the little fish" until they get established. Right now, they are wondering "Who are all these people looking at us."
According to Andrews, "A lot of our (tribal) members haven't seen (pupfish), the original fish that was here." Now they will "know that we did fish. Even though we are little bitty guys, they were still used.… We are hoping to reeducate the public and to educate the new ones that are coming here."
On the newly-planted shores of the serene pond, surrounded by flitting dragonflies, Adkins talked about the habitat's ecosystem. Though several other fish, such as the Spotted Dace, will inhabit the refuge, pupfish from Fish Slough, Warm Springs and an artesian well below Independence, will be the main feature. While pupfish are hearty, enduring a wide temperature range, they breed in summer, so the shallow nature of the pond allows it to absorb heat from the sun more efficiently and allow them to breed at a greater rate.
A four-foot trough around the edges provides protection from birds such as herons and "encroachment from cattails because it's deep and also provides a refuge from a really hard freeze in winter."
Other flora was just as carefully chosen as well. Medicinal Yerba Manza were planted as well as tri-corner bull rush, because they out-compete the more invasive hard-stem bullrush, which would fill in the pond very quickly. Creeping wild rice grows at the outer perimeter of pond's bank.
Anne Castle, assistant secretary of water and science with the U.S. Department of the Interior, called the project "a collaboration of a number of different agencies: Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, Calif Fish and game and the tribal departments."
She went on to say that the bureau was glad to be there "to share in the blessing of this special occasion … We celebrate with you this wetlands and wild life preservation," and added that "many others are here in spirit."
Castle went on to say, "this is a significant step toward sustainability of the Owens Valley Paiute culture," its natural fish population and the entire ecosystem.… "Water is life, we all know that."
She lauded the tribal fish refuge area program's multiple benefits: a habitat and recovery for the pupfish, providing work for tribal members, right historic wrongs, provide education for the next generations and even address mosquito and drainage issues.
Adkins summed up the delicate balance that the Bishop-Paiute Native Fish Refuge represents. The whole ecosystem, in fact, the whole project is "a little complicated. There's a lot to the recovery of a species and how to do it efficiently. It's kind of a challenge or else it would have been done everywhere.

20 Responses to "NaBloPoMo Day 2"
Apparently I'm the only one who thinks this is funny.
nope. i laughed when i saw it. and i have to commend the person/child that crawled up there to write it. awesome.
i'm doing NaBloPoMo for the first time.
Glad to see a photo post counts as a blog post. here i was thinking i had to write something every day, as in, "think about it," or make some effort.
My first post for the month was a long and vague essay, but i did it for personal reasons that will like have little interest for the general readership (of about three people) that I have. ha.
i can do *this*.
Bwahaha! I give it points for originality, I am SO sick of the "wash me" thing.
The last thing i saw written on a very dirty black car was "Also comes in Black."
Wish i'd had my camera with me.
Clever! And really darn funny…I agree, Mrs. Kennedy.
Very funny! I'm 'unofficially' participating in NaBloPoMo…that way if I miss a post (or two. Or, you know, five.) I won't feel so bad.
This might be my favorite Thing of the internet of 2009.
Then again, someone just forwarded to me a Spam email they'd received because it had "Wang" in the subject line.
Eden, I love you. I just saw this, and came to say that this was MY FAVORITE NABLOPOMO POST IN THE HISTORY OF NABLOPOMO. So please know that you are not alone in your humor, the rest of us are just slooooowwwww.
Also, it reminds me of the time I met some kids at a rave in Columbus (oh, the early 90s) and watched them spraypaint the word "VAGINA" on the roof of their friend's red VW Scirocco. This world needs more kids with dirty minds and access to car roofs.
Zan, the world would be a kinder place if more people spray painted VAGINA on the roofs of things.
Great! Check out my day 2 post!
oops…forgot to mention that New Moon (Twilight #2) is coming out in a couple of weeks and it would be great to see it with you guys…
A Twilight movie would never be the same without Jackson's barf at our feet.
See? I'm not the only one who missed your posts you big wiener head.
No no no, Mark looked over my shoulder and said "heh heh wiener", and then we both giggled.
In London, one sees "I wish my bird was this dirty" written in dust. That always makes me laugh too, because I am an 18-year-old boy.
I'm delighted that you'll be posting often this month. I so enjoy your acerbic wit.
I would love to see the drivers face when they look up and notice that.
This post is a weiner. It's #1!
That's my co-teacher's last name. I giggle every time I see it.
I think this is so hilarious that if you email me the photo, I'll make it my holiday card. I'm not even kidding. (don't make me beg for it… that's what she said?)

Greece Debt Crisis: Country Stuck In Deep Recession, Confirming Impact Of Austerity
ATHENS, Greece - The Greek economy remained stuck in a deep recession in the fourth quarter, according to official figures released Tuesday that confirm the painful effects of austerity reforms intended to lower debt.
Gross domestic product decreased by 7 per cent on the year in the fourth quarter of 2011, in non-seasonally adjusted terms, the Greek Statistical Authority said.
The struggling eurozone country has been shut out of long-term debt markets since 2010, and is surviving on rescue loans from European Union countries and the International Monetary Fund. But harsh austerity measures demanded in return for the emergency loans have hammered the economy.
Greece's economy has been in decline since late 2008, with successive quarterly contractions since then, with the exception of the first quarter of 2010.
On Tuesday, the Public Debt Management Agency said it had raised €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) in an auction of 13-week treasury bills at a rate of 4.61 per cent — down from the 6.64 per cent rate from the previous sale of three-month debt on Jan. 17.
