I'm pretty new to doing YouTube videos, but i'm up to about 30 videos on my channel now, and i've got enough views to attract plenty of comments. And i was just wondering... are comments worth it? A lot of them just seem to be people flaming each other's views, or plugging their own channels and videos.
My videos are not in the least bit controversial, by the way. They just show different locations. One of them is for a museum, for example, and rather than talk about the museum, the comments have evolved into a discussion about museums in general, and how they supposedly "steal" artificats from other countries. This has pretty much descended into a flame war -- none of which has anything to do with my video, or even the video's location.
The video has also attracted a number of dislikes, which i'm pretty sure relate more to the comments than the video. Lots of people are arguing, and if they dont agree with what the others are saying then they naturally click 'dislike'.
My question is this... does the number of comments on a video help you -- enough to make you ignore the content? Is it worth keeping them turned on just for the ranking boost? and what about 'likes'?
To be honest, I'd rather just switch those things off completely, because i cant be bothered with the hassle.

While it's true that United's policy is that the armrest has to be able to be in the down position, they don't make you test your armrest unless there's a problem with a person spilling over to another passenger. Furthermore, they also never charge a "walk-up fee" if you need to purchase an extra seat due to size at the gate. If you read their policy, it says they will charge you for the extra seat at the same price you paid for your original seat. As for the armrest policy applying even if it's your family next to you, no airline wants to be the source of a problem with passengers of size. If your family is okay with you spilling into their space, neither United or any other airline will make you buy an extra seat. The author of this article must have just made up this information without checking out the facts.

Our take: These gears are CNC PRECISION machined gears with perfect teeth alignment and zero wobble. The SHS Low Noise High Torque Gear Set is a Helical Gear Set which reduces the noise generated by grinding and improperly machined gears. The Helical design also provides higher torque for pulling back higher power springs. These gears are 100% CNC machined providing excellent quality, meshing, and durability. These gears can pull up to a M180 spring! These gears can be used in conjunction with the SHS Full Steel 15 Teeth Piston for maximum performance!

Love this table setting where Oprah chooses some of her Favorite Things for 2012? It was created by Tammy Carmona, owner of fine porcelain dishware company Carmona New York & Co, and veteran caterer and event planner. (And for all you Twihards out there, she also designed the set—down to the flowers and the dishes—for Edward and Bella's wedding scene in Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1.) Here, she reveals her secrets for creating a beautiful table—and throwing a great holiday party. Holiday entertaining
can be stressful. What do I need to know before I begin? Know your theme, food selection, amount of people attending
and other items you want to have on display such as flowers or candles. If it's
a holiday like Christmas and the red and green theme doesn't work, have no fear—go
with an elegant brushed gold and white instead. What sort of dishware should I use? Look at your menu as a starting point. Our dinnerware styles
range from traditional to modern and funky; our challenge is to match each food
with the best dish by size, shape and placement. Remember: You want the presentation
to create excitement. How do I make sure I don't get stuck in the kitchen while my guests are mingling? Keep it simple by limiting the number of dishes, so guests don't get overwhelmed. Be prepared by placing good-sized portions on your serving dishes. When it comes to sweets, go for mini-desserts, which look less messy. Any other tips? Use flowers and candles to add to the ambiance—the lighting adds
to a festive look. Also, consider personalized napkins, which are a beautiful
finishing touch.
"There's a fierce inventiveness to Detroit," says artist Kate Daughdrill. "People here take ownership of a problem and work to find solutions." In order to help Detroiters keep doing just that, Daughdrill and a friend cofounded Detroit Soup, a philanthropic supper club. Each month four local groups present ideas to diners who pay $5 to attend; the crowd then discusses the ideas over soup, salad, bread, and pie, and decides which project will receive the evening's proceeds. Since 2010 Detroit Soup has raised from $700 to $1,000 per dinner for more than 20 community projects—like a bicycle education workshop, or the design and manufacture of a coat for the homeless that converts to a sleeping bag—and the typical number of diners has grown from 20 to 200. "Right now Detroit feels like an underdog," says Amy Kaherl (below), Detroit Soup's current coordinator. "Someone needs to care for it, and that someone could be any one of us."
"At work it was all about packaging, marketing, and advertising," says Liz. "But once we decided to make products just for us, we thought about only one thing: efficacy." Their goal was to include the highest possible levels of various antioxidants, peptides, fruit acids, and moisturizing sodium hyaluronate. More than a year later, Rachel and Liz left the lab with their dream products in clear vials labeled with a Sharpie. Before long, Liz's fine lines were fading, Rachel no longer needed antibiotics to control her rosacea—and their friends wanted what they were having. Now everyone can; their Radical Skincare line is available at Barneys New York stores and barneys.com, as well as their own site, radicalskincare.com. The packaging has been upgraded, but it's still simple. "We wanted to keep all the value inside the bottle," says Rachel. "A fancy jar or celebrity endorsement isn't going to transform your skin."
The creations are based on the iconic GJ chair designed by the late Danish furniture designer Grete Jalk, and they are stunning. I particularly love Kelly's chair (which features pink Swarovski crystals), Aerin Lauder's (she covers the chair with braided jute) and Christopher Coleman's (he interjects bold colors into a graphic black-and-white pattern). The best part? Eighty percent of each sale will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, so you can have a unique work of art and support a worthy cause at the same time. The online auction will run Oct. 1–31 on charitybuzz.com. Chair designers from top to bottom: Kelly Wearstler, Aerin Lauder, Christopher Coleman
Its new Botanicals collection comes in three scents—Fig & Bamboo, Vetiver & Cardamom, and Coriander & Mandarin—and consists of seven body-pampering treats (from a rich sugar butter scrub to a moisturizing soufflé) the likes of which you might expect to find in a thoroughly modern spa rather than an old-timey apothecary. I especially like the delicate fragrance of the hydrating Coriander & Mandarin Hand Crème and Body Lotion ($16 and $26; caswellmassey.com).
Proceeds from the sale of each bag provide 15 nutritious meals to hungry children through the UN World Food Programme. So you can indulge and give back at the same time. ($120; available Sept. 17 at deandeluca.com) Advertisement

Recipe by CHEFTAZ
"Spicy sausage is browned, then cooked in a slow cooker with olives, tomato sauce and beans in this easy chili flavored with soy sauce."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 pounds ground spicy pork sausage
2 cups chopped onion
3 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped black olives
1/2 cup chopped green olives
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans
Nice combination of ingredients , except instead of just any 'spicy ' sausage , try Chorizo , this is a spicy mexican sausage , and for the beans , try 'Brooks' hot chili beans ... these two ingredients will put your chili over the edge ...
I used pork chorizo. My husband really liked it, but I didn't really care for it. I did enjoy the black olives, but overall the flavor wasn't Wow. I also prefer more beans in my chili. Good for people who prefer a meatier chili with a spicy kick.
16 Ratings
This chili is great! but i added more beans, it was a hit and will be made again!
Great flavor and so easy too. I used 2 lbs of pork chorizo instead of the sausage. I used 2 cans of tom sauce and 1 can of diced tomatoes. I used cannelini (white kidney beans) 2 cans, instead of the 1 can of red beans. It was thick and yummy but not to dry.
I have made this chili more than once and have gotten rave reviews every time. I love the Olives! I never thought to use them in a chili but they are delicious. Great for a crock pot dinner too.
This recipe ROCKS!!! My fiance and I make this all the time. We love it. It's a great alternative from regular chili.
my family and i really love this chili.make it offten.put it in the church chili cookoff and was a hit thanks diane
I tossed in some extra hot peppers. This dish goes well with Ice Cold Beer

Synthetic Paths to the Heaviest Elements
Walter Loveland,
Oregon State University
Wednesday, November 28, 4:00 PM - Nuclear Science Seminar
NSCL Lecture Hall
I discuss the nuclear reactions/mechanisms used in the synthesis of the heaviest nuclei. For complete fusion reactions, involving stable or radioactive beams, the cross section for producing a heavy reaction product, EVR, can be represented as where capture(Ec.m., J) is the cross section at center of mass energy Ec.m. and spin J. PCN is the probability that the projectile-target system will evolve from the contact configuration to inside the fission saddle point to form a completely fused system rather than re-separating (quasifission, fast fission). Wsur is the probability that the completely fused system will de-excite by neutron emission rather than fission. I discuss the results of recent experiments that characterize these quantities in heavy element synthesis reactions. I point out the opportunities afforded by radioactive beams in heavy element synthesis, as well as the use of damped collisions and multi-nucleon transfer reactions.

The World According to Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson - Author
The outspoken and outrageous presenter of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, shares his opinions on just about everything in The World According to Clarkson – a hilarious collection of Jeremy's Sunday Times' columns and the first in his The World According to Clarkson series which also includes And Another Thing…, For Crying Out Loud! and Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most. He has, as they say, been around a bit. And as a result, he's got one or two things to tell us about how it all works – and being Jeremy Clarkson he's not about to voice them quietly, humbly and without great dollops of humour. In The World According to Clarkson, he reveals why it is that: • Too much science is bad for our health • '70s rock music is nothing to be ashamed of • Hunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big nor clever • We must work harder to get rid of cricket • He liked the Germans (well, sometimes) With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely, if ever, found inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous, the ridiculous, the absurd and the downright idiotic ideas, people and institutions that we all have to put up with at home and abroad, whilst also celebrating the eccentric, the clever and the sheer bloody brilliant. Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life, The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll read this year. Don't leave home without it. Number one bestseller, Jeremy Clarkson, writes on cars, current affairs and anything else that annoys him in his sharp and funny collections. Born To Be Riled, Clarkson On Cars, Don't Stop Me Now, Driven To Distraction, Round the Bend, Motorworld, and I Know You Got Soul are also available as Penguin paperbacks; the Penguin App iClarkson: The Book of Cars can be downloaded on the App Store. Read Clarkson book extracts and quotes from Jeremy Clarkson's latest titles. Another Day's Holiday? Please, Give Me a Break
as they struggled back to work last week thought that England should have followed Scotland's lead and made Tuesday a bank holiday. Two things strike me as odd here. First, that anyone could be bothered to undertake such research and, second, that anyone in their right mind could think that the Christmas break was in some way too short. I took ten days off and by 11 o'clock on the first morning I had drunk fourteen cups of coffee, read all the newspapers and the Guardian and then . . . and then what? By lunchtime I was so bored that I decided to hang a few pictures. So I found a hammer, and later a man came to replaster the bits of wall I had demolished. Then I tried to fix the electric gates, which work only when there's an omega in the month. So I went down the drive with a spanner, and later another man came to put them back together again. I was just about to start on the Aga, which had broken down on Christmas Eve, as they do, when my wife took me on one side by my earlobe and explained that builders do not, on the whole, spend their spare time writing, so writers should not build on their days off. It's expensive and it can be dangerous, she said. She's right. We have these lights in the dining room which are supposed to project stars onto the table below. It has never really bothered me that the light seeps out of the sides so the stars are invisible; but when you are bored, this is exactly the sort of thing that gets on your nerves. So I bought some gaffer tape and suddenly my life had a purpose. There was something to do. Mercifully, Christmas intervened before I could do any more damage, but then it went away again and once more I found myself staring at the day through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars. Each morning, bed and the blessed relief of unconsciousness seemed so far away. I wore a groove in the kitchen floor with endless trips to the fridge, hoping against hope that I had somehow missed a plateful of cold sausages on the previous 4,000 excursions. Then, for no obvious reason, I decided to buy a footstool. I took the entire family to the sort of gifty-wifty shop where the smell of pot-pourri is so pungent that it makes you go cross-eyed. Even though the children were lying on the floor gagging, I still spent hours deliberately choosing a footstool that was too small and the wrong colour so that I could waste some more time taking it back. The next day, still gently redolent of Delia Smith's knicker drawer, I decided to buy the wrong sort of antique filing cabinet. But after the footstool debacle my wife said no. So it seemed appropriate that I should develop some kind of illness. This is a good idea when you are at a loose end because everything, up to and including herpes, is better than being bored. |

Nvidia has introduced the GeForce GTX 590, the fastest dual graphics card available from the company. It is powered by dual Nvidia Fermi-class GPUs on a single card.
With 1024 Nvidia CUDA architecture cores, 3GB of GDDR5 memory, six billion transistors and over 2200 individual components all packed into an 11-inch dual slot card, the GTX 590 delivers a 32 tessellation engines that can power DirectX11 games at resolutions of 2,560x1,600 and higher. With four separate video outputs on each card, consumers can configure their PC with four independent displays, or they can span their gaming across three 3D displays, at a resolution up to 5,760x1,080 for a stereoscopic gaming experience utilizing Nvidia 3D Vision Surround technology, the vendor said.
With Nvidia SLI technology, gamers can increase their PC's gaming performance by adding a second GeForce GTX 590, for enabling Quad SLI gaming mode.

I use these all the time for polishing nuts. They're the best!
going from 1500 to 12000 will give you the best fret polishing results you could ever ask for on a guitar! I can polish 3/4 frets at once up the neck and it's certainly quicker than steel wool!
These pads are wonderful. Stiff enough for flat areas and flexible enough for curves. Great price, too. I find myself grabbing these all the time. Highly recommended.
Wow! The uses for these pads are endless!
Used these tonights after leveling my frets (dry), now my frets have a brilliant sheen. Inexpensive but a highly recommended kit for finishing,
After doing a bit of fret work on my PRS, I polished up the frets with these pads, working my way through the grits. Before long, the frets were clean, smooth and glowing.
Perfect for touch ups, leveling between coats, and removing any pesky swirl marks.
I use these every day. They are a must for touch-up work!
These little things are great! Can be used wet or dry, I ordered these about a year ago. They're still going strong too. I find myself using them for almost everything that could use some polishing.
The only bad thing is that the Micro-Mesh sheets disconnected from the foam pads after a while.

Great recipe. Made it for my brother and family visiting - thought I was becoming a chef. I made it with tilapia fish instead of sole. Very easy to make - doesn't take long. Ken G. Amarillo Texas

"Eventually, this will be a world-wide thing. It's really invaluable."
By ANGELA MONTEFINISEThe New York PostNEW YORK — The NYPD plans to sign a $542,000 deal with Microsoft to bring the software company's highly touted Child Exploitation Tracking System to the city.
The CETS technology - which was launched in Toronto in 2004 but is not yet in the United States - connects law-enforcement agencies across the world, allowing police to share information to help nab child predators, particularly those who prey online.

Sony also used the venue to announce various video-related additions to the PS3. The console will soon be able to watch Netflix without a disc, Hulu Plus has entered beta with a public launch due early next year, and the company showed Mubi, another film streaming service that PC World describes as a mash-up of Facebook, Twitter and Netflix.
Naturally, there's a ton of game news too. There's new trailers/gameplay footage for Infamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3 and others, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and Resistance 3 were confirmed, Virtua Tennis 4 will be in 3D (Uncharted 3 might be), MAG is getting Move support, and Gran Turismo 5 will launch in Europe November 3.

OH WOW 320GB?! I only have 1.5TB in my computer. rofl
it's better than the 40GB I have at home...really annoying when you don't have enough room to install a game (some games take up to 5GB).
I don't know how many more times they can "rebrand" the XBox and PS3 with peripherals like HD space and motion detectors and expect people to buy them. Big deal. Until they upgrade the processor and graphics, it will always be the same damn thing that was released 4 years ago.
I have never figured out why do console makers charge so much per gigabyte, if those hard drive have the same internal mechanisms as those of PCs. I've heard some excuses like realiability, but I wouldn't pay so much more just for that...
That's a mighty steep price for a personal massage unit.

That's what I also say.
Drop the consoles! PC Power!
...Until they upgrade the processor and graphics, it will always be the same damn thing that was released 4 years ago.
yea that's kind of the idea... else it would just be a whole new console.
the PS3 and X360 are plenty powerful for the current generation of games; developing and building brand new consoles every few years would be expensive for both the manufacturer and consumers, respectively. not to mention impractical considering that companies like Sony and Microsoft invest millions in marketing and advertising their current consoles. they are not really rebranding the console as much as they are changing features around and adding additional peripherals. you can put any size hard drive in either console so it's not like you need to buy a whole new unit to benefit.
as for me personally, i'm very content w/ my 120gb slim unit... easily my best gaming investment of 2009.
So, they announced support for US-only services in a European country?

1.5TB in a PS3 would be overkill. I have a 250GB slim with a dozen games installed, a dozen demos that I either haven't played yet or don't want to delete, a couple dozen videos from the PS Store (not movies or TV episodes mind you, just trailers) and a few hundred photos and songs and I've still got 170 GB of free space.
Now, I don't download movies or TV shows so 250GB will always be more than enough space for me but for those who want to download movies and such they will eventually need more but then they can just buy any laptop sized hard drive and slap it in.
yey I get a free upgrade from Best Buy oh wait it still can't play ps2 games and there aren't any new features..... Thanks I bought a ps3 slim that has less features than the original ps3. I never heard of an more expensive Down grade.
I will kick out the $100 to get my xbox 360 fixed.
hello ...
this is good news, a really great bundle, i just don't need a new PS3 & hope never for it's a pain to move all the things i have on it. but will certainly buy a MOVE pack soon.
I'm sick of always seeing the same not so mature or objective post from some (even those i wouldn't believe can go that way ... please tell me you are joking)
I agree totally with EXCellR8 - i believe that some should @ least consider that it's a business first & there's no lack of quality on console gaming for a machine so weak & old.
ONLY some 'perhaps ignorant' console fanboys would see their machine better than a PC, but the games we have on consoles are great enough for us not to envy pc games & yet don't forget that most console gamers are also PC gamers!
ONLY some 'perhaps ignorant' would see gaming on PC far superior than on consoles for they don't consider the fact that exclusivity exist & the games on each & every system are tailor made for their respective system & are just as much fun.
Quoting somehow Kevin Butler : "If you have a wonderful girlfriend & your pal has a wonderful girlfriend, who wins ..... everyone!"
some were waiting for a new PS3 / MOVE bundle, @ that price it is a great value for those wanting to jump from the PS2 or the WII to PS3.
hard disk size doesn't make big difference, the 160Gb SKU is same price as the now vanished 120Gb & the 320Gb is in a bundle. some people uses more than 500 Gb laptop HDD on their PS3 with no issues & we can connect external drives to the console.
now let's go back to play !

What Your Query Says About Your Book
We all know the query letter is the first impression our manuscript will make, and when it doesn't make a good impression, it's not uncommon to hear someone ask (often in frustration), "How much can you really tell about my book from a query anyway?"
A lot, actually, and probably not what you'd expect.
A Query Sums up an Author, Too
Since a query is so short and so tight, any inherent flaws in your writing are magnified. Prone to passive voice? Odds are it'll show in the query. Use a lot of cliches? There are probably some in that pitch paragraph. Your manuscript could use some tightening? Yep, that'll show, too. Good news is, just as the bad stuff gets shoved forward, the good stuff also shines through. That's why a not-so-great query can still catch an agent's eye. Because the writer's strengths come through even if the query needs a little work.
Let's look at some of the things that could be holding your manuscript back.
Still Needs Editing
This is a pretty common flaw in almost-there manuscripts. It shows in the query by extra words, repetitious phrases, weak nouns and verbs. It could be because the writer moved too fast and submitted before they were ready, or it could be they need to learn a few more polishing skills. If this is why you're being rejected, there's hope for that manuscript yet. Tighten it up, put a shine on it and you could find yourself getting requests instead of rejections.
Weak Plot
If you can't sum up the core conflict of your novel in a few paragraphs, there's a decent chance you're not sure what it is or it's not strong enough in the novel. You might even have a premise novel. But the problem is at the heart of the story, and until that gets figured out and revised, the book won't be strong enough to stand on its own. Find that core conflict, clarify those goals, and you'll be back in business.
No Voice
If all you're doing is describing events, the sense of the storyteller will be missing. If the query is more focused on the what and not the why, there's a good chance that the novel reads the same way. If the query sounds bland, the agent will assume the novel is just as flat. Let your voice and what's unique about your novel shine through and show people what you can do.
Lack of Focus
A query that rambles and introduces five characters and six plots in three paragraphs is a pretty good indication that the novel has way too many things going on. Multiple POVs, tons of subplots, and none of them really connect to any one major storyline. Find your real story and weed out the subplots, and your novel can start getting attention.
No Stakes
A query that can't tell you why all these events matter is one that probably has low to no stakes. This implies your characters are acting for plot reasons and not because they want anything on their on, and there's a good chance there's not a lot of narrative drive. Determine why your plot matters to your characters and up those stakes, and you'll keep readers turning the pages.
Queries make fantastic diagnostic tools, because they really do boil the essence of your novel to one page. If there's a major flaw in that novel, it'll rise right to the surface. Next time you're having a hard time with your query, take a step back and see if it's the novel itself that's the real problem.

Love the points. They're also good indicators of what can be wrong with a story idea, too, if you write the query synopsis first.
I used your technique of planning-novel-by-query-synopsis a few months ago, and it worked great. I couldn't decide if I wanted it to be primarily a coming-of-age novel or a romance novel, so I wrote the query synopsis for both books. Picked the one that would have me focusing on what I wanted to be the main section of the story.
-CarradeeI have been combing the internet for a post like this for days...THANK YOU! I was wondering WHY my query was so difficult to write...It turns out my story had a confusing plot and no stakes. Now I have a plan to fix the plot, up the stakes and boom! The query is suddenly easier...But not easy LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I had the help of a consultant to write my proposal and it was an eye opener. No wonder I was getting nowhere before. I'm interested by the concept of the 'premise novel', I've googled the term but all I can find is references to the premise of a novel rather than the term the way you use it.
ReplyDeleteCarradee: Awesome! Good to know it's working as intended :) A synopsis is one of my planning tools as well. It's often vague, but it helps a lot at getting the basic plot down.
Roberta: Most welcome! I don't think queries will ever be easy, but easier is good :)
Jack: I did a post on premise novels and here's the link:
Let me know if you have any questions about it ;)
Paul: A lot of pressure is put on them, and there's this feeling that if they aren't exactly perfect we're doomed. But that's not true, and you hear agents say all the time that a not-perfect query caught their attention. The idea is really what matters, and as long as you can get that across in a professional way, you're usually okay.Great post! I've finally (after 2+ long years of polishing) been getting partial and full requests from my query letter which has been tossed out and restarted so many times. I've actually saved almost every version and its so cringe-worthy to read back. But it *is* nice to see how far its come :)
My trouble now is getting agent replies like, "Great/fresh idea/approach, but 'didn't connect to the voice as much as I wanted to.'" I interpret this in a lot of ways, but I do think the voice in the query is the same as the voice in the MS, so it's hard to know what to do next.

Long before it was home to baseball stadiums and Spanish missions, the peninsula of San Francisco was ruled by the Muwekma Ohlone. An estimated 10,000 members of this stable, peaceful tribe lived in 40 groups of 50 to 500 members, setting up encampments from Crissy Field to Big Sur. Then, during the late 1700s, they were rounded up into missions built by Spanish settlers. Some were enslaved. Many died of disease. For years, U.S. government officials believed that they had become so diminished and assimilated as to be extinct. In 1927, the tribe was dropped from the federal government's registry of formally recognized Indian nations.
"We were disregarded," says Rosemary Cambra, chairperson of the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe, a group of 350 Muwekma Ohlone descendants scattered throughout the Bay Area. "It was a form of American apartheid."
Now, tribal leaders say, they are still being ignored as the National Park Service prepares to turn a former airfield at the Presidio into a flagship recreation site. The park plans to construct a 20-acre marsh, a vast meadow, sand dunes, a new beach, picnic areas, and a boardwalk on Crissy Field without, Muwekma representatives complain, sufficiently consulting tribal leaders about Indian remains that may lie buried in the area.
"We know there are graves there," says Espinola Jackson, Bay Area spokeswoman and liaison for the tribe. "We know that the entire area has burial sites, as well as sacred sites there. We're asking that they do not disturb the sites at all."
After years of lobbying by Muwekma Ohlone descendants, the Branch of Acknowledgement and Research of the Bureau of Indian Affairs is poised to reinstate their status as a federally recognized tribe. Cambra says this status, if granted, will give the tribe greater legal standing to oppose Crissy Field development, and, if necessary, file suit against the Park Service. Cambra would not rule out the possibility during an interview that once the Muwekma have recognition in hand, they could renew their demand that 400 acres of the new Presidio National Park be set aside for the Muwekma, in accordance with laws saying that excess federal lands should be turned over to the natives who originally occupied them.
The Presidio, a former Army base, is slated to become a national park, run by a nonprofit trust that is required by Congress to pay its own way.
Park Service officials acknowledge that the agency has had a "bad relationship" with the Muwekma Ohlone ever since the announcement that the Presidio military base would be decommissioned. The Presidio Trust is trying to make sure no sacred sites are improperly disturbed during the Crissy Field development. And it is just now beginning an effort to improve relations with San Francisco's native tribe.
"We have thought about the concerns raised by the Muwekma, and we have done that by reopening the consultation process," says Leo Barker, historical archaeologist for the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. "What we are trying to do is do everything we can to clarify that we are not going to impact Native American heritage sites."
The two Muwekma Ohlone archaeological sites known to exist in the Crissy Field area -- a possible cemetery site topped by discarded shells discovered in 1912, and 1,300-year-old human remains discovered in 1972 -- lie to the east of the area that will actually be disturbed by the restoration project, Barker says. And before the Park Service breaks ground for any of the restoration projects in the area, it plans to drill core samples to look for evidence of ancient human habitation.
"If a single human remain is found or a burial is discovered, we intend to, and by law are required to, begin a consultation process with native people who have an affiliation with park lands. The project would have to be stopped and redesigned."
Park Service officials from Washington met with Muwekma Ohlone leaders last week in what was to be the first in a series of "consultations" with the tribe. The meeting consisted mostly of "venting" by Ohlone members, and assurances by park officials that they had the Ohlone's interests at heart, Cambra says.
The current unpleasantness stems from the Muwekma Ohlone's request six years ago that some land at the Presidio be set aside in a Muwekma-Ohlone-owned trust under federal laws that recommend excess federal lands be returned to their original native inhabitants.
The Army decided the law did not apply in the Presidio's case, and disregarded the Oh-lone appeal. Ohlone representatives were subsequently left out of meetings where officials drafted plans to turn the Presidio into a national park, Cam-bra complains.
"There was a hiatus of discussion between the two groups," Barker acknowledges. "Until a few years ago, there weren't people here that were devoted to that issue, because of the planning that was going on with the Presidio."
Now, though, the park has entered a new era of sensitivity, he says. Barker currently dedicates much of his time to the Muwekma's concerns, and says he hopes Tuesday's discussion will lead toward giving Native Americans a significant role in Presidio planning.
Tuesday's meeting wasn't the first time the Muwekma Ohlone have met with government officials. Tribe representatives were present at some planning meetings in 1991, and they have spoken with Bureau of Indian Affairs officials during their struggle to achieve federal recognition.
