BC Hunting Trips
Mountain Goat Hunts
BC is home to the largest population of mountain goats in Canada with 90% of the country's entire population residing in mountainous areas of British Columbia.
Our mountain goat hunts run from August 1st to mid October. This guided hunt season runs parallel with our moose, caribou, sheep and bear hunting seasons affording hunters great opportunities for guided hunt combinations along with their mountain goat hunts.
We offer horseback and backpack guided mountain goat hunts.
Our horseback mountain goat hunts take some of the work out of harvesting a goat. We can access various goat habitat with horses. Although there is still hiking involved, this hunt provides those with limited mobility a chance to harvest a mountain goat.
Our backpack mountain goat hunts can involve a large degree of walking and some serious backpacking to obtain a trophy billy. Clients must be in excellent physical condition, able to walk, climb and carry a 35lb. backpack in rugged country. They also must be mentally prepared to suffer the hardships of being wet, cold and at times uncomfortable (as in many hunts but expected in goat hunts.) Packers are available in advance only and cost $2000 for the duration of the hunt payable in advance with the balance of your hunt.

Lynn touts DoD charitable giving
Thursday - 9/22/2011, 11:49am EDT
With the start of the Combined Federal Campaign, Lynn made a public appeal to DoD workers, asking them to make history with their donations, Defense.gov reports.
Last year, contributors gave $110 million to the campaign, which serves more than 4,000 charities. And DoD civilians and service members averaged giving a record $489 dollars each last year.
This year's goal for DOD is more than $14 million dollars. Lynn said they will need to work harder this year because of the decreasing pool of donors.

In writer and director Jack Hill's cult classic "Spider Baby", we are introduced to the three Merrye children, Elizabeth (Beverly Washburn), Virginia (Jill Banner) and Ralph (Sid Haig), who suffer from a genetic condition that causes its victims to mentally, socially and physically regress into primitive, murderous cannibals. Lon Chaney Jr. plays caretaker Bruno, who has managed to keep the children out of harms way and maintain the family secret.
Who could kill a child? Turns out most of us, pretty easily in fact.
It's a baby, FROM HELL!

Just back from France and the highlight was my four days in Normandy. Yes, I've been to Normandy many times before, but this time it was with fellow travelers who hadn't been there before. To see sites that I'd seen before through these fresh eyes was like seeing Normandy again for the first time. It was magical in every way.

Guest Trip Reviews
I'm a great fan of Backroads, and your Trip Leaders are what differentiates you from other active travel companies.- Palo Alto, CA
This trip exceeded all my high expectations! What a great way to experience Europe with our four girls. They were never bored, and almost always happy! We were especially pleased with the flexibility of the biking options. Although we are an active family, we have not been avid cyclists. They offered us all a nice challenge without being overwhelming (especially considering the fact my husband had to tow our youngest on a piccolo!).- Wilmington, NC

Flow only goes 2 ways
By Paul Murrill
More than 75% of all transmitter sales are for measuring flow.
As you might expect with such a huge market, flow-meters come in all imaginable types, shapes, and sizes.
All flow measurement devices operate using one of two approaches—either energy additive or energy extractive.
The oldest is the energy extractive approach. Within this approach the differential-pressure-producing flowmeters such as the orifice plate, the flow nozzle, and the venturi tube are the most common.
The orifice meter is probably the most commonly found and used flowmeter today. It has two fundamental elements: the orifice plate and the differential-pressure transmitter.
The orifice plate itself is a thin plate with a hole bored in it. It acts to restrict—extracting energy—the flow of fluid through the pipe at the very point where the meter sits.
As the fluid flows along the pipe through the orifice plate, the fluid's velocity must increase because the cross-sectional flow area decreases, from the diameter of the pipe to the diameter of the hole. The energy necessary to increase the fluid velocity comes by reducing the static line pressure. By measuring this change in static line pressure with a differential-pressure transmitter, which has taps on the upstream side (high-pressure side) and the downstream side (low-pressure side) of the small hole in the orifice plate, one can infer the flow rate.
Both the flow nozzle and the venturi tube work on the same principle as the orifice meter. Only the restriction shape and flow pattern are different.

New York Public Library Partnership for Education
Learn from the Experts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Special and Museum Collections.
About the Institutes
Learning on location at NYPL and the Metropolitan, students are taught by distinguished librarians and curators. Experiential learning is combined with research and theory, giving students the knowledge and skills to be leaders in this exciting and challenging field.
Art Collections
Institute on Art Collections at NYPL, Summer I
LIS 687 - A unique opportunity to work with the distinguished librarians and curators of the Art and Architecture collections of The New York Public Library's Research Libraries. The Institute will include lectures and demonstrations, as well as time to work on special projects in a world class library using both traditional and digital collections. Special attention will be given to the specific needs and interests of the art and architecture researcher as we examine the librarian's role from the researcher's viewpoint. For further information, contact the instructor, Lee Robinson, Art Librarian at 212.930.0722 or e-mail email@example.com.
Map Collections
LIS 688-3, Institute on Map Collections at NYPL - Summer II
Maps provide essential and efficient delivery of information for all types of subjects across time. Ecology, history, property, archaeology, events in the news—all can be clarified by the cartographer's artistic and scientific hand or via geographic information systems. During this institute, you will explore the intricacies of map collecting in local and national libraries, as well as among private collectors. Map librarianship will be studied in seminars with The New York Public Library's distinguished Map Librarians and through visits to local map libraries, map stores, and antiquarian dealers. Participants will draw upon this information and experience to investigate and evaluate specific research areas and topics.
Special Collections
LIS 689, Institute on Special Collections at NYPL - Summer I
Now in its 11th year, the Institute on Special Collections at the New York Public Library is an intensive 10 day, three-credit course is made possible through the cooperative efforts of NYPL and Pratt, working with NYPL's distinguished special collections librarians and curators. In a time when educators increasingly turn their attention to the provision of distance education via the Internet, the Institute takes on special significance for the way in which students learn and experience primary source materials and information. Rather than a digital diet, they feast on the collections of one of the world's great research libraries, use primary source material, make discoveries, attend presentations by leading scholars and librarians, discuss special collections librarianship with distinguished professionals, exchange ideas with fellow students, and share experiences. Students create subject and topic guides in the form of an illustrated exhibition catalog. Students idenfity a special collection from which they develop a topic and then explore their topics across a range of collections from rare books and manuscripts to prints and photographs.
Museum and Library and Research
LIS 629, Institute on Museum and Library Research at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Summer I
This intensive 10 day, three-credit course is made possible through the cooperative efforts of the Metropolitan Museum and Pratt. Students learn and experience art and information through the vast, rich libraries and collections of one of the greatest art museums in the world. The course focuses on the researching art objects and creating a thematic museum exhibition that crosses collections and cultures, thus encouraging students to experience art through diverse social and cultural perspectives so that they will be better prepared as librarians to serve diverse museums and communities. Students use the Watson Library, which contains over 400,000 books and 2,500 serials, in conjunction with the Hazen Center for Electronic Resources and Central Catalog, which maintains the object records of some two million works of art. Students use the museum collections, library collections, and electronic resources to gain new insights as researchers into the interactions and connections of these richly diverse art and information resources.
Performing Arts Librarianship
LIS 686 Performing Arts Librarianship
As part of our program in "Cultural Informatics," designed to prepare students for a broad range of careers in fine arts, performing arts, and humanities settings featuring research in archives, special collections, and digital libraries, this intensive course gives students the unique opportunity to learn performing arts librarianship in the context of one of the world's great performing arts libraries and, importantly, from leading professionals in this exciting field. Working from the dual perspectives of librarianship and research, students use the methodologies of collection-based research, from which they produce a subject guide to specific collections. Students gain an understanding of different aspects of information transfer posed by working with both real and virtual documents and collections and how differences in format and media convey and influence meaning. Further, students learn to select and juxtapose documents to communicate ideas and to serve as representations of collection content, as well as how to organize these to benefit user research. Students experience and observe first-hand the daily operations of user services in a performing arts library setting.

In 1930, Detriot was the fastest growing city in the world. Today it's on the verge of collapse. Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady offer a haunting portrait of Detroit's woes in their visually arresting documentary, "Detropia." But it's not all doom and gloom.
Through archival footage of Detroit's heydays set against stark shots of contemporary wastelands, "Detropia" chronicles the demise of a megalopolis. Seen through the eyes of three stalwart residents, the audience gleans vast insight into why some refuse to abandon the city they love.
Crystal Starr, a young video blogger, remembers when Detriot "was bangin." She films deserted buildings and mansions that once basked in the sunlight of architectural grandeur during better days, now wallowing in urban decay. Mourning their demise, she imagines the glorious views once experienced by their inhabitants.
George McGregor, president of the United Auto Workers Local 22, also recalls better days when the rise of the middle class was in tandem with manufacturing. He recently presides over a meeting with American Axle workers asked to accept wage cuts ($14.35 per hour to $11.00). They refuse, the plant closes. The dichotomy between empathy versus reality permeates "Detropia" and it gets under your skin.
But Tommy Stephens, former schoolteacher and now proprietor of The Raven Lounge (located near a General Motors Plant) is a guy who really gets it. His insight into what's killing Detroit goes beyond outsourcing. He equates shutting down schools to shutting down futures. And, most importantly, he cites that when there is no buffer between the rich and the poor, revolution will ensue.
In a particularly poignant segment of the film, Stephens attends the International Auto Show. He's disturbed by the fact that Chinese version of Chevy's Volt is half the price. When he confronts the Volt reps about the discrepancy, they're dumbfounded. The words "scary" and "beware" come to mind.
"Detropia" is chock-full of staggering statistics, yet Ewing and Grady manage to buffer them with exquisite visual storytelling. The film is, ironically, beautiful to look at. The Detroit skyline is still breathtaking, reminding residents of the prosperous past.
And hope is on the horizon. There's been a 59% increase in young people moving into the downtown area due to phenomenally affordable housing. As Tommy Stephens points out, "Change is hard work." And it looks as though Detroit and its residents who have undying faith in their beloved city, are up to the challenge.

Katie Couric set to interview Sue Paterno
Extending her streak of exclusive sports interviews to two, Katie Couric will sit down with Joe Paterno's widow, Sue. According to the Chicago Tribune, Couric has already met with Paterno in her State College, Pa. home, and will also sit down with her in studio, with the episode airing on Monday, February 11th.
It will be interesting to see what questions Couric throws Paterno's way. Couric mostly lobbed out softballs to Manti Te'o, and considering this is the first interview Sue has done since the Sandusky scandal and her husband's subsequent firing and death, I'd expect a relatively safe environment for her.

Botswana compared to South Africa
How does the prices for hunting compare between Botswana and South Africa. Is Botswana cheaper ?
What would make the difference between choosing the destination ? How much does price have to do with it ?
How many people would maybe like to do both countries on 1 trip ?

I think some of the ranch hunts are comparable in price.
For me quality of game, size of the property and price of the hunt are pretty important factors. Food, accomodations and people you hunt with do count too.
In Botswana non ranch hunting is virtually only elephant, which is fairly expensive. Botswana ranch hunts, which feature plains game, are competitively priced with those in SA. One advantage in going to Botswana is that you can include a side trip in the Okavango Delta, which is spectacular.

Don't know what the answer is on your first few Questions, but, your last question I can answer (not speaking for anyone else) I personally think it would be fantastic to hunt in 2 different countries while on one hunting trip. I think I damn near did hunt in Botswana, when we went to Renier and Dave's farm."That which does not kill us makes us stronger" Friedrich Nietzsche // That which does not kill me, better run like hell" Scott Smith

Brandon Lee was born on February 1, 1965, in Oakland, California to martial arts star Bruce Lee. After his father's death, Lee moved to Seattle with his mother and sister. He left college and took up acting. Lee was cast in The Crow and, during the accident-ridden production, was shot by a mishandled prop gun and died of the injury. The film was completed and released after Lee's death.
Early Life
Actor Brandon Lee was born on February 1, 1965, in Oakland, California. Son of martial arts expert and actor Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee had his promising career cut short by tragedy, much like his father. He spent some of his early years in Hong Kong. Sadly, Lee lost his father when he was only 8 years old. Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema, a build-up of fluid in the brain, in Hong Kong under mysterious circumstances. After his father's death, he moved to Seattle with his mother and sister.
Lee struggled growing up, moving around a lot and coping with being the son of a martial arts legend. As a teenager, he got into trouble and dropped out high school several times. He later spent a year at Emerson College in Boston studying drama. While college wasn't for him, acting was definitely his passion. Initially staying away from martial arts films, Lee eventually embraced his heritage. He made his first feature film, Legacy of Rage (1986), in Hong Kong, which was in Cantonese, a language he knew since childhood.
Early Career
Around that time, Lee appeared in Kung Fu: The Movie with David Carradine, which aired on television. He played a deadly assassin and his powerful fight scenes made quite an impression on viewers. Returning to the big screen, Lee made three action films: Laser Mission (1990), Showdown in Little Toyko (1991) with Dolph Lundgren and Rapid Fire (1992) with Powers Boothe.
'The Crow' and Untimely Death
With his career on an upswing, Lee signed on to play Eric Draven in The Crow based on the comic books of James O'Barr. In the film, his character is a murdered rock musician who comes back from the dead to take his revenge on the gang that killed him and his girlfriend. Unfortunately, there were a series of mishaps during the course of shooting, starting with the first day when a crew member was almost electrocuted. Toward the end of production, Lee was performing his death scene for the film when he was struck by a bullet that had been lodged in the prop gun that was only supposed to be a blank. The bullet pierced through his abdomen and ended up near his spine.
Lee was taken to the hospital where surgeons tried to stop the bleeding and repair the damage, but they were unsuccessful. He died on March 31, 1993, from his injuries. Before this tragic accident, Lee had planned to marry his fiancée on April 17 in Mexico. Instead, he was buried next to his father in Seattle on April 3, 1993. For months stories swirled around about whether or not the shooting was intentional. There was an investigation, which determined that his death was an accident; the result of the prop gun not being properly checked between uses.

Finland and Sweden, the hosts of the 2012 and 2013 IIHF World Championships, respectively, are going to make history simply by co-hosting the championship in two different countries.
This is the first time since the first World Championship in 1930 that was played in France, Austria, and Germany. In early September, it was also announced that the tournament organizers suggestion to change the tournament format had been accepted by the IIHF Congress.In the new system, the 16 teams will play a round-robin in two qualification groups, or seven preliminary round games, with the four best in each group advancing to the quarterfinals. The last-placed teams in each group will be relegated to Division I.Also, in the new system, the quarterfinal games will be played within each group. The teams that meet in the quarterfinal will have already played one game against each other, which adds a layer of suspense to the already important game. They wont have to travel to another venue and country for the quarterfinal game.On one hand, the new structure will make the tournament easier on participating teams, as theres less travel: only two teams will have to travel from Sweden to Finland, after the quarterfinal games. (And from Finland to Sweden in 2013).On the other hand, to go all the way, the winning team will have to battle through ten games, instead of nine like in the current format.Also, both Finnish and Swedish fans can be sure that their teams will play on home ice at least seven games, possibly eight with the quarterfinals, which helps with the marketing.This is a good change and everyone is happy, IIHF President René Fasel said when the new format was announced.After the initial three games in the preliminary round there was no way of knowing when my team will be playing. The qualifying round has been a tough sell and there hasnt been enough time for the fans to purchase tickets. It has also been difficult to plan the event for traveling fans, he added.The main venue, and the arena for the semi-finals, bronze medal game, and the final of the 2012 World Championship is the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki. The Swedish venue, and the home of Tre Kronor, is Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, also the main venue for the 2013 tournament.
