The Cambodian soldier hisses, "Today, you dead," into Matt Dillon's face before smashing Dillon's head to the floor of a dilapidated room.
Seconds later, James Caan and a group of gangsters shoot it out on a patchy lawn in front of a dark, imposing building, while doom-laden mist drifts up from the surrounding jungle, threatening to swallow the protagonists, whether dead or alive.
That was in 2002, in Dillon's disappointing thriller The City of Ghosts. While the plot was forgettable and the protagonists two-dimensional, the film's locations had a brooding, menacing presence filled with tension and despair.
No wonder – the movie's key scenes were shot in and around an old casino, the Bokor Palace, a long-abandoned French hill station on a windswept mountain 1,000 metres (3,300ft) above the Cambodian coastline, and now at the centre of a national park.
Five years on and further violent films have been shot here – most notably 2004's Korean-made, Vietnam-set horror R-Point which made brilliant use of the old hill station's pervasive air of clinging spookiness – but little has changed around here otherwise.
Vichat, a ranger who has been working in the national park for the past three years, wouldn't dare set foot inside the casino at night: "Every time we walk past, we can hear the dead walk in there. It's full of ghosts."
A big sign in the casino's lobby warns all visitors: "Do not sleep here".
But the fog of war may soon evaporate into history – a South Korean company has landed a concession to redevelop the hill station, build a golf course and resurrect the casino for a new generation of high rollers.
In its heyday, Bokor Hill Station was Cambodia's most luxurious colonial hide-away, as well as an imperial folly. Hotels and dance halls, a church, a royal villa, restaurants, servants' quarters and a water tower that appears to have walked straight out of a 1950s Cold War sci-fi picture must all have made for an incredibly exclusive ambience in such a remote location. The crowning glory of this community in the clouds was the Bokor Palace Casino and Hotel, a towering monument to France's vainglory.
The construction of this most unusual holiday resort came at a price: more than 2,000 Cambodians are said to have died during the construction of the road up from the coast, which snakes through 40km (25 miles) of dense, forbidding jungle. Since then, the killing around Bokor has never really stopped.
France quit Indochina in 1953, its taste for colonial adventure gone after being expelled from Vietnam by Ho Chi Minh's Communists.
The half-century since has been anything but kind to Cambodia – accumulated decades of suffering from US bombing and civil war, the Khmer Rouge genocide, a Vietnamese invasion, famine and chaos have crushed the country and its people.
What's left of Cambodia's imperial French heritage is crumbling from lack of attention. Old town houses and administrative buildings in the capital, Phnom Penh, and elsewhere are being knocked down to make room for modern buildings.
For the Cambodians, the remnants of these old foreign structures hold no meaning beyond their current utility and the French have little influence today. Restoration is certainly not on anyone's mind. The country wants to move on, wants to be part of the 21st century. But at the Bokor Casino, the ghosts of old wars have not yet faded from the mountaintop.
Vichat, the park ranger, never leaves his office without his gun. "We have problems with poachers who come to take trees out of the national park, sometimes to shoot animals too."
He only earns 17,000 Riel (£2.30p) a month, not much of an incentive to risk your life against desperate intruders. The US NGO Wild Aid, active in the Bokor national park since 2002, is supplementing his meagre earnings and has provided training for more rangers who, like Vichat, are all armed and have the power to arrest poachers. But the park area is huge and there are few trails.
Vichat is cautiously optimistic: "We have managed to reduce the logging significantly. And in May 2006, a tiger was spotted near the Wat, right on top of Bokor Mountain. But these sightings are very rare nowadays. Too many people come and go."
A small but steady trickle of tourists, mostly on trips in pick-ups organised from Kampot, has begun to visit Bokor Hill Station. The journey is not an easy one; the road up from the coast is potholed all the way. Up top, facilities are minimal. The ranger's station offers dorm beds but no food. The colonial ruins are as they have been for years: spooky and abandoned since the Khmer Rouge swept through the area in the 1970s.
"There was fighting here until quite recently," Vichat tells me. "The Khmer Rouge were holed up in the casino in the early 1980s and fought the Vietnamese who had taken the church. Later, the Khmer Rouge fought government troops from the casino."
Standing in front of the Bokor Casino Hotel in the late afternoon is just plain creepy. The windows are shattered, black holes looming out of the building like empty eye sockets; the walls are covered in red moss that looks like freshly congealed blood. The Victorian turrets, the broken balustrades, the rusty water tanks and the smashed toilets all look deeply sinister – the only thing missing is the gargoyles.
The casino's entrance is a wide staircase that looks as if it leads straight to hell. Beyond, corridors and narrow stairways lead off into darkness. The fireplace in the ballroom has been smashed to pieces, toilets have been ripped from their bases, mirrors smashed and electrical wires chiselled out of the walls and carted off; the only fixtures left here are psychic ones. Graffiti, much of it explicitly vulgar, covers the walls of the suites and hallways. "Everyone died", reads one in English. Some of these scrawls were left behind by Khmer Rouge fighters; others have been added by tourists since.
The traces of war are all-pervasive. Many balconies are still protected by leaking sandbags and rusty shells litter corners of the property.
From the roof, reached via many long corridors and partially collapsed stairways, the church, the post office and the other hotels are all visible. Beyond the main buildings, service quarters and a royal villa lie hidden in the jungle. Deeper still, an hour's walk away, are the remnants of a prison where the French kept their Cambodian prisoners. But everything is smashed beyond repair, falling down, desolate. No wonder the rangers don't like to wander at night.
Even now, the darkness unleashed by the violent dissolution of civil society sticks to everything in Cambodia – including the Bokor Casino. On New Year's Eve 2005, several thousand tourists and young locals gathered at the Bokor Casino for a dance party. During the night, an argument between two young Cambodians turned violent. One of the men was shot and later succumbed to his injuries.
Bokor is a national park and precious jungle surrounds the old hill station. This should protect the area from commercial exploitation, but the planned redevelopment of the Casino Hotel will most likely put an end to nature's reign. The reconstruction of the road and the planned building of an 18-hole golf course will have a huge impact on this wilderness area. Given that a Korean company has fielded the redevelopment plan, and that the potential clientele will be well-heeled Asian golfers and gamblers, the lingering ghosts of French Indo-China are bound to disappear.
Some voices have called for the renaissance of Bokor to be abandoned, but foreign development is virtually unconditional in Cambodia and neither the country's impoverished and uneducated population nor its government have the time or inclination to protect their colonial heritage or the natural resources the area has to offer.
The ghosts of war, and the jungle that has sheltered them for so long, may soon make way for the 18th hole and the Black Jack table.

The Bee Team Visits the Haven
Visiting entomologist May Berenbaum, professor and head of the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, this morning stopped by the haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden on Bee Biology Road, University of California, Davis, to see the bee activity.
Joining her were Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen; bee scientist Brian Johnson, assistant professor of entomology, and native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology, all of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
The garden, planted in the fall of 2009, is located next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility. It is open year around, from dawn to dusk and maintained by the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
Berenbaum, who will become the fifth woman president of the 7000-member Entomological Society of America in 2016, saw honey bees foraging on pomegranate and flowering artichoke blossoms and other flowers. Thorp pointed out the Valley carpenter bees, mountain carpenter bees, European wool carder bees, yellow-faced bumble bees and black-tailed bumble bees.
Thorp, who monitors the garden for bees, has found some 85 different species of bees--"and counting"--over the last five years. He began forming baseline data a year before the garden was planted.
The key goals of the garden are to provide bees with a year-around food source, to raise public awareness about the plight of honey bees and to encourage visitors to plant bee-friendly gardens of their own. Häagen-Dazs, a premier ice cream brand, generously supports the garden.
The garden design is the work of a Sausalito team which won the international design competition using a series of interconnected gardens with such names as "Honeycomb Hideout," "Orchard Alley," "Growers' Circle," "Round Dance Circle" and "Waggle Dance Way." The team: landscape architects Donald Sibbett and Ann F. Baker, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard and exhibit designer Chika Kurotaki.
The art work in the garden is by the UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program, co-founded and co-directed by entomologist/associate dean Diane Ullman and self-described "rock artist" Donna Billick. Billick also created the six-foot long worker bee sculpture that anchors the garden. The sculpture, which Billick cleverly named "Miss Bee Haven," is of mosaic ceramic.
Berenbaum visited the UC Davis campus May 20-21 to deliver two presentations as part of the Storer Lectureships: "Bees in Crisis: Colony Collapse, Honey Laundering and Other Problems Bee-Setting American Apiculture" on May 20 and "Sex and the Single Parsnip: Coping with Florivores and Pollinators in Two Hemispheres" on May 21. (Click on this link to watch a video of her talk, "Bees in Crisis.")
Berenbaum, a talented scientist, dedicated researcher, dynamic speaker, creative author, and an insect ambassador who wants people to overcome their fear of insects, focuses her research on the chemical interactions between herbivorous insects and their host plants, and the implications of these interactions on the organization of natural communities and the evolution of species.
As as a spokesperson for the scientific community on the honey bee colony collapse disorder, Berenbaum has conducted research, written op-ed essays and testified before Congress on the issue.

Bee-ing There and Bee-Lieving in the Bees
Barbara Allen-Diaz, vice president of the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) vowed last year to wear bees if she received at least $2500 in donations for UC student scholarships through the "Promise for Education" fundraising drive.
She did and she will. Wear honey bees that is. This week. Bee-lieve it.
Allen-Diaz chose her project to highlight the importance of pollinators to the health of agriculture and the planet.
Professional bee wrangler Norm Gary, emeritus professor of entomology and retired bee research scientist at UC Davis, will train bees to buzz into her open hands to sip nectar.
The event, dubbed "Operation Pollination," also will be his last professional bee stunt. "This is absolutely my last performance as a professional bee wrangler," said Gary, considered the world's best bee wrangler. "The remainder of my retirement years will be devoted to music, not bees."
Photos and/or video from the event are scheduled be posted on social media sometime Thursday, May 1.
So last week, the "B" Team did a buzz run. The "B" Team, led by Gary, included Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen, yours truly and three members of UC ANR:
- Pam Kan-Rice, assistant director, News and Information Outreach Communication Services and Information Technology
- Ray Lucas, senior producer/director, Digital Media, and
- Evett Kilmartin, digital media librarian.
Was Kan-Rice a little apprehensive? Not at all. A former ag reporter based in Fresno, she felt quite comfortable around them, as Gary assured her she would. "They felt fuzzy, wuzzy and warm," she said, adding matter-of-factly: "I've never been stung by a bee."
The artificial nectar? "I make it with ordinary table sugar … about half sugar and half water," Gary said. "Then I add one tiny drop for flavoring, such as anise, that provides a fragrance that attracts bees. Almost any flavor will work fine … peppermint, lavender, etc. My artificial nectar is as good, maybe better, than natural nectar. At least the bees respond 100 percent! People don't realize that table sugar (sucrose) is perhaps the purest natural product on the market. It is identical to the sucrose found in natural nectar."
Gary retired in 1994 from UC Davis after a 32-year academic career. He is the author of numerous peer-reviewed research publications and most recently wrote a book, The Honey Bee Hobbyist: the Care and Keeping of Bees.
During his professional bee wrangler career spanning four decades, Gary trained bees to perform action scenes in movies, television shows and commercials. His credits include 18 films, including "Fried Green Tomatoes"; more than 70 television shows, including the Johnny Carson and Jay Leno shows; six commercials, and hundreds of live Thriller Bee Shows in the Western states.
He once trained bees to fly into his mouth to collect food from a small sponge saturated with his patented artificial nectar. He holds the Guinness World record (109 bees inside his closed mouth for 10 seconds) for the stunt. He is well known for wearing a head-to-toe suit of bees while "Buzzing with his B-Flat Clarinet."
So, come Thursday, the social insects in the hands of Barbara Allen-Diaz will be on the social media.
"Foraging bees do not react defensively to color whatsoever," Gary said. "Beekeepers wear white because bees can be defensive during hive manipulations and tend to react to darker colors...bees away from the hive during foraging and pollination normally do not sting unless physically molested, such as picking them up. Most stings are from yellow jackets and wasps but lay people think they have been stung by a bee."
Said Mussen: '"The few 'trained' bees that Norm will be using won't even be around a hive. Their likelihood of stinging anything or anyone is as close to zero as it can get, as long as we 'beehave.' No jerky movements. No swatting at bees around the face; no blowing the bees away from your face."
After Gary's last bee wrangling stunt, he will be totally focused on his music. He's in a duo, Mellow Fellas, and plays clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, and flute.
"For the last two years I have also been performing in a Dixieland band, Dr. Bach and the Jazz Practitioners. We are playing lots of gigs in every imaginable venue. Our most notable performances are at the Sacramento Music Festival, a four-day event held each Memorial Day weekend. We also perform at pizza parlors, senior retirement organizations, etc. We play swing-music style, too. "
Gary also performs with a quartet, Four For Fun, that has eclectic tastes, but most tunes, he says, have a Dixieland flavor. "We'll perform for the Monterey Jazz Society on May 18. Our bass sax and trumpet players are extremely talented ladies who live in Eugene, Ore. Our banjo/guitarist/vocalist lives in Sonoma. I still play duo gigs with several piano/keyboard professionals. And I play clarinet occasionally with the Sacramento Banjo Band."
That would be the "B" flat clarinet.

Trouble in the Almond Orchards
Beekeepers and almond growers are concerned--and rightfully so--about the some 80,000 bee colonies that died this year in the San Joaquin Valley almond orchards. In monetary terms, that's a loss of about $180,000. But the loss isn't just financial. It could have long-term effects.
Beekeepers believe that pesticides killed their bees after the almond pollination season ended but just before they could move their bees to another site. This is a serious blow to both industries. Growers need the bees to pollinate their almonds. Now some beekeepers are vowing this is it; they'll never to return for another almond pollination season.
Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology talks about the issue in his latest edition of from the uc apiaries, published today on his website.
"When should the colonies be allowed to leave the orchards?" he asks. "When pollination no longer is happening. That does not mean that the bees should remain in place until the last petal falls from the last blossom."
"Why might beekeepers desire to move their hives out of the orchards 'early?' Once the almonds no longer provide nectar and pollen for the bees, the bees find replacement sources of food. Unfortunately, those sources may be contaminated with pesticides that almond growers would never use when the bees are present. Some common pests that surge right near the end of almond bloom include Egyptian alfalfa weevil larvae and aphids in alfalfa, and grape cutworms in vineyards. Delayed dormant sprays sometimes are being applied in other deciduous fruit orchards, even when the trees are in bloom. Often blooming weeds in the crops are attracting honey bees. If the year is really dry, the bees may be attracted to sugary secretions of aphids and other sucking bugs."
Mussen says it's "not difficult to see that accidental bee poisonings often happen. Despite our California regulations requiring beekeepers to be notified of applications of bee-toxic chemicals within a mile of the apiaries, bees fly up to four miles from their hives to find food and water. That is an area of 50 square miles in which they may find clean or contaminated food sources. Thus, growers whose fields are 'nowhere near' any known apiary locations may accidentally kill many bees with chemical applications."
"It seems," Mussen says, "that a combination of exposures of colonies to truly bee-toxic insecticides, followed by delayed effects of exposure to fungicide/IGR mixes during bloom, really set the bees way behind. The problem proved so severe that a number of beekeepers stated that they were never returning to California for almond pollination. That is not a good thing, since we really don't have too many colonies coming to almonds as it is."
In his newsletter, Mussen goes into depth about when and how bees pollinate the almonds and what could be causing the problem and how it can be resolved.
His take-home message? "Our honey bees cannot continue to be exposed to as many toxic agricultural products as they are, or we will not have enough bees to fill the pollination demand for our nuts, fruits, vegetable, forage and seed crops."
That's serious business.

Eye on the Buckeye
It won't bloom until summer, but already many eyes are on the California buckeye.
The tree's blossoms are poisonous to honey bees. Bees are attracted to them and forage on them, but the end result of the food provisions to the colony can be deformed larval development.
We've seen bee hives within a quarter of a mile of California buckeyes (Aesculus californica). And we've seen honey bees, native bees and other pollinators foraging on the blossoms.
At the recent UC Davis Pollinator Gardening Workshop hosted by the California Center for Urban Horticulture, Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen talked about the poisonous plants. (See PowerPoint presentations.) That led to one workshop participant wondering if the flowers of the California buckeye are poisonous to native bees. (Honey bees are not native; the European colonists brought them to the Jamestown colony, Virginia, in 1622).
Responded Mussen: "My guess: either the native bees that have been in the areas around California buckeye for a long, long time are not poisoned by the pollen or they have been selected (by death of the other genetic types) to avoid the pollen, that eons of natural selection have adapted them to coexist with California buckeye while using their resources."
Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, shared: "We know California buckeye nectar and/or pollen is toxic to honey bees from years of experience with managed hives. Toxicity to native bees and other flower visitors is not so easily determined and to my knowledge has not been investigated. The fact that populations of native bees and butterflies visit California buckeye flowers and continue to persist in areas where the tree is a dominant part of the plant community tends to confirm what Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen says about them. Some good research projects here. So we still do not know if it is the nectar, pollen, or both that may be toxic to honey bees, much less to native flower visitors."
According to gardeningguides.com, the seeds in their raw state are poisonous to humans, but native Americans learned to get around that and use them for food. They pounded the seeds into flour and then cooked the mixture. "This tree had multiple cultural uses among California Indian tribes," the website says. "Many indigenous groups utilized buckeye seeds for food, often when other plant food sources were scarce. These tribes included the Costanoan, Salinan, Kitanemuk, Serrano, Wappo, Sierra Miwok, Coast Miwok, Chumash, Kawaiisu, Northern Maidu among others. The Pomo ate the seeds even when other important food plants were plentiful. The seeds are poisonous to humans in the raw state. Thus, the nuts were cracked open with a rock, the shells removed, the seeds pounded into flour, and their toxic saponins removed in a lengthy leaching process. The meal was subsequently cooked and eaten. There are many different methods for processing and cooking buckeye seeds for food, depending upon the tribe. The seeds have medicinal properties and were cut into pieces, mixed with water, and made into suppositories for hemorrhoids by the Costanoan and Kawaiisu. The Pomo cut bark from the base of the tree and made a poultice, which was laid on a snakebite. Young buckeye shoots were sometimes used as spindles or twirling sticks in fire-making kits of the Sierra Miwok, Northern Maidu, Wappo, Yahi and other tribes. Many tribes mashed buckeye nuts and poured the contents into quiet pools to stupefy or kill fish."
And, no wildlife will eat buckeye seeds except squirrels, such as the California ground squirrel (Citellus beecheyi).
Meanwhile, the poisonous blossoms continue to beckon the honey bees--and their colonies keep producing deformed bees.

Why Bee Stings Can Be Deadly Serious
A honey bee apparently stung a 47-year-old father on his foot and he went into anaphylactic shock. Rushed to the hospital, he died 10 days later when his kidneys and heart failed. The article reported he was 6 feet, five inches tall, and weighed 17 stones, which is 238 pounds. (One stone equals 14 pounds).
His family indicated he was unaware of his allergic reaction to bee stings.
A sad and tragic case, indeed.
We know of people who have suffered severe allergic reactions and were raced to the hospital in time and fortunately survived. One was a Northern California parks employee who did not know he was allergic to bee stings.
How many people in the United States are allergic to honey bee stings? Approximately one or two out of every 1000 people, says Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology. "The severity of the response, to even a single sting, varies considerably from person to person."
Immediate injections with epinephrine will usually delay the possibility someone unable to breathe. Then a quick trip to a hospital where medical personnel can administrate antihistamines, steroids "and likely more epinephrine" are in order.
"While honey bees away from their hives normally do not pose too much of a sting threat, if the bees are intoxicated by exposure to certain pesticides, they can become an abnormal sting threat at distances quite a ways from the hives. Additionally, individuals who fear a sting, with good reason, sometimes are more apt to try to shoo the bee away. If a bee already is close to stinging, the additional movement of the 'shooer,' or if there is contact with the bee, results in a much greater likelihood of a sting."
Another piece of good advice that Mussen offers: "Individuals who do not appreciate attention by bees should do everything they can to not smell good to a bee. The use of flower-scented or bee products-scented soaps, shampoos, perfumes, or colognes should be avoided. There is no documented scientific study that suggests that honey bees can detect the odor of fear in humans. But if we watch from a distance, the physical reactions of fearful people often tend to be more likely to cause stings than the behavior of the rest of us."
Photographers who capture images of worker bees foraging in flowers are often asked if they've ever been stung. After all, they're just inches away from them. The usual answer: No. The bees are too busy gathering nectar and pollen for their colonies. Stings can and do occur when the worker bees are defending their hives. Or when you accidentally step on one.

text: Romney to Unveil 'Agricultural Prosperity' Plan in Iowa Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 9 Oct 2012 post a comment Trying to run up his margins with rural voters, Mitt Romney will present his "agricultural prosperity" agenda to support a "vibrant rural America" at a campaign event in Iowa on Wednesday. Romney and Obama were tied in Iowa in pre-debate polls. "America's farmers and ranchers play an incredibly important role in our economic prosperity and must be supported," Romney said. "My plan for a stronger middle class includes policies that will help the agriculture sector thrive and deliver an economic recovery for rural America." Romney will also criticize President Barack Obama for "pursuing harmful policies in area after area," including taxes, regulations, a stalled trade agenda, and policies that have driven up energy costs while disregarding the concerns and needs of "farmers, ranchers, and rural communities." "We already ask our farmers and ranchers to cope with natural disasters," said Romney. "They should not also have to battle a man-made disaster of taxes and regulations from Washington." The most recent survey of rural voters found Romney led Obama by 14 points among rural voters in "swing state rural counties." "A prosperous agriculture sector is incredibly important for a vibrant rural America, and for the health of the entire American economy," a policy paper released by the campaign states. "The heartland of this country holds the best of what has made our country great and the dreams of what America can grow to be in the future." The paper notes, "it is not only our core values that thrive in our small towns and family farms; our economy does as well, when hardworking men and women are supported by sound policies that promote growth while minimizing unnecessary interference from Washington bureaucrats." The Romney agenda for rural America promises to: Implement effective tax policies to support family farms and strong agribusiness Pursue trade policies that expand upon the success of the agriculture sector, not limit it Create a regulatory environment that is commonsense and cost-effective Achieve energy independence on this continent by 2020

Nobody buys that story. DM tells Champa to get him water and leaves. Khemi looks at Santu's feet and it's missing a toe ring. When Bansuri was Lakshmi she was wearing toe ring and Khemi has flashback of that. Khemi has a doubt, so she asks Champa to follow her to store room. Khemi knows somebody else is there.
Khemi goes to store room and finds Bansu hiding and shaking. She drags her down the stairs and into the house. Now she comes in and screams at Santu , take your palloo off your head .. Santu is shaking and DM watching interestedly Moti says you stop khemi and I will handle this, and is about to slap Santu. Santu stops her with her hand out DM syle and slowly removes her palloo. Everybody is shocked with mouths open DM is looking at Santu intently but without expression. End - rests on DM's face.Moment of the Day: When DM stops Santu with his signature style "aye chokri...RUK!!"

Hard Work Pays For Local Club
Wetaskiwin athletes off to Banff and Canmore for Alberta Winter Games.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYHOQ8IJgoI Click this link for a video of this story.
Earning a trip to the Alberta Winter Games in the sport of gymnastics was not easy for four Wetaskiwin athletes, Kira Leask, Brynn O'Connell, Devan Weinhandl and Zoe Kertcher. Practice, practice, practice. The girls commit up to 16 hours a week practicing and attending competitions during the 41 week competitive season; 13 weeks during the fall session, the January to April winter session and the 8 week spring session offered in May and June. The hard work has paid off. In December, 2013 the Wetaskiwin Gym Club sent 5 girls to the Zone gymnastic try-outs with 4 of them making up the entire Level 2 for Zone 4 team and Megan Strydom placed 6th in the Zone competition.
Representing Zone 4 at the Winter Games in Canmore and Banff on February 6-9, 2014 are:
• Kira Leask, age 13, doing gymnastics since age 3, favorite event is the beam.
• Zoe Kertcher, age 13, doing gymnastics for 10 years with several breaks in between, favorite event is floor.
• Brynn O'Connell, age 11, doing gymnastics since she was 18 months old, started competitive gymnastics at 6 yrs, favorite event is the floor.
• Devan Weinhandl, age 13.
Team member Brynn O'Connell is excited. "It is an exciting opportunity to go to the Winter Games. It is also a good opportunity to meet new people, represent my Zone/Club and it's good to compete with the skills I worked hard on."
Bob Kertcher, father of athlete Zoe Kertcher, commented on his daughter's reaction to being selected to the team. "Zoe tells me that the concept of going to the games really hasn't sunk in yet and probably won't until she is there. She's looking forward to having the opportunity to compete together as a team."
Substandard training facility can produce provincial level athletes
Walking into what appears to be a make-shift looking training facility located behind the bowling alley in Wetaskiwin, the first impression is that the facility and equipment are certainly not the standard that is producing athletes that are competing at a provincial level. Still, 4 athletes qualified for the Winter Games and the 5th athlete, Megan Strydom placed 6th for Zone 4. Kryssie Barry, the Competitive Program Coordinator and Coach proudly states, "We train in a tiny 4500 sq. ft. facility with a very low ceiling. Still, we have the capability to create great, successful athletes. We had 2 girls make the 2012 Winter Games Team, which was a great accomplishment, but this time the athletes from our Gym Club make up the entire level 2 team. For the last two years we've also qualified athletes to compete at Alberta Gymnastics Provincial Championships.
In 2006, the Club introduced a pre competitive program that over the last 6 years has developed into competitive stream gymnastics. In 2012 we registered our organization as a Competitive Club, making us eligible for meets like Alberta Winter Games, Zone Championships and Provincials. The Club also has competitive athletes competing in levels 1-3 in the Canadian Provincial Program. The recreational program follows a 12 level badge system, CANGYM, with athletes currently completing levels 8 and 9."
During the practise, attributes such as respect, orderly conduct, listening skills, politeness and poise and a high level of athletic ability were very noticeable. Program Coordinator and Coach, Krissie Barry has been coaching gymnastics for 16 years. "I take a great deal of pride in teaching the girls the value of hard work and love seeing the satisfaction they feel when they accomplish their goals." Although she lives in Lacombe, she travels to Wetaskiwin 6 days a week to work with pre competitive to Provincial Level 3 athletes. Kryssie's credentials include: Level 2 Certified, trained level 3 in Women's Artistic Gymnastics and Level 1 Certified, level 2 trained in Trampolining.
"Gymnastics teaches body awareness, balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and discipline, which are great building blocks for any sport. Our goal is to promote activity and good health for all with quality instruction in a safe environment."
Parent, Darla Leask comments on gymnastics
"Having 4 of our girls qualify from our Zone to go to the Winter Games is a huge benefit for Wetaskiwin. It shows the calibre of athlete and coaching that Wetaskiwin can produce. Hopefully seeing how good the girls are might encourage other kids (boys and girls) to want to do the same thing. Gymnastics is awesome for fitness, mental and physical conditioning as well as discipline. Going to a Provincial event like this puts Wetaskiwin on the map. The future of gymnastics in Wetaskiwin could see potential National and or Olympian athletes. It is important for gymnastics to be a part of Wetaskiwin as the more physical activities we have for the youth to participate in, the better off they are. A healthy body and mind is a happy body and mind.
The Winter Games will benefit Kara by her being able to compete alongside of the athletes from across Alberta that have the same drive and passion for the sport of gymnastics that she does. Being part of the Winter Games will also boost her confidence by seeing that she can compete with the rest of Alberta's finest athletes."
History of gymnastics in Wetaskiwin
The gymnastics club started out in the Sacred Heart School in 1989. They moved into a small permanent space in 1995, and the current location in 2001. The Club became a non-profit organization under the Society Act in the early 90's. The Club is run by a volunteer board of directors supported by countless volunteer hours.
Coach Barry describes the variety of gymnastic programming available. "We average about 110-125 recreational participants each year and our competitive program has had approximately 15 athletes for the last 4 years. We have a homeschool program running with about 40 participants coming from the surrounding areas and offer school field trip programming for Phys. Ed. classes. We also offer tot and preschool programs for ages 18 months to 5 years, with and without parental participation. We have offered programs for cheer teams and dance classes in the past as well. We are currently located in Wetaskiwin, but attract athletes from Camrose, Millet, Ponoka, Gwynne, Pigeon Lake and other surrounding areas."
The small club from a small community is producing big results but as Audrey Wall, current Office Manager explains, "We really do need a new updated building that will allow our athletes to progress successfully to levels they want to achieve without having to travel to larger centers." Bob Kertcher, another parent stresses the importance of a new facility to Wetaskiwin and region. "Given that there are few competitive level clubs in Central Alberta the Wetaskiwin & District Gymnastics Club serves as a regional center for gymnasts from the area."

CO governor asks again for federal pot response
Colorado officials asked again Wednesday for a federal response to the state's recent marijuana legalization vote.
Associated Press
Colorado officials asked again Wednesday for a federal response to the state's recent marijuana legalization vote.
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder that Colorado needs a response "as soon as possible" about how the Justice Department will respond to Colorado's marijuana vote. Republican state Attorney General John Suthers also signed the letter.
Hickenlooper and Suthers reminded the Justice Department that while federal officials have maintained their right to enforce the Controlled Substances Act, the administration has also turned a blind eye to many medical marijuana users and sellers.
"We need to know whether we can expect any different posture regarding marijuana grown and distributed for recreational use," Hickenlooper and Suthers wrote. "Specifically, we need to know whether the federal government will take legal action to block implementation" of the marijuana measure, "or whether it will seek to prosecute grow and retail operations."
Voters in Colorado and Washington state voted last week to allow adults to possess small amounts of marijuana without a doctor's recommendation. So far, the Justice Department has said federal law stands, but that the measures are under review.
Hickenlooper and Colorado Attorney General John Suthers also talked to Holder by telephone last week, with no signal whether the Justice Department would sue to block the marijuana measure.
On Tuesday, Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire met with Deputy Attorney General James Cole in Washington, D.C. Gregoire reported that the federal government still hasn't decided whether to take action to block new laws legalizing marijuana.
In the Colorado letter, Hickenlooper and Suthers reminded the Justice Department of confusing signals about state employees who implement marijuana regulations.
U.S. attorneys in several states have cautioned that state employees implementing medical marijuana laws are subject to federal prosecution, but no charges have been brought. Colorado has an entire enforcement division within the state Department of Revenue overseeing the marijuana industry.
"We find no clear guidance on these issues," Hickenlooper and Suthers wrote.
A spokesman for Hickenlooper said there was no immediate response from the Justice Department..
Prosecutors in both states are already starting to act. At least three prosecutors in Washington state announced plans last week to drop criminal cases against adults facing possession in charges for small amounts of marijuana. And in Colorado on Wednesday, Boulder County became the first in Colorado to drop similar adult possession cases.
Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner told the Daily Camera newspaper his department would stop issuing tickets or making arrests for possession of marijuana less than an ounce and paraphernalia.
"We had already told our officers it was a waste of time to issue summonses for those offenses anyway, given the passage" of the marijuana measure, Beckner said.

Edge vs Charlie Haas= Pretty interesting match. I thought it was going to be kinda of a squatch match in the beggining but it was actually pretty close.
HBK-VKM promo=Great promo, i thought both were in really good character. I guess that "give you more spirit than you can handle" was a little hint for SS showin up.
Carlito,Victoria vs Flair,Stratus= An ok match, i really hate matches with divas but this one was alright.I see Carlito beating Flair at the end of this rivalry for the IC.
Shelton Interview= I like the new side of shelton. Cant say much bout this interview.
Basham vs Shelton=Pretty close match, it was kinda easy to see Shetlon pickin up the W.Short match.
Matt Striker promo= I thought this was a good promo with Striker in character, but it was kinda long.
Triple H vs The Big Show= I hate to see HHH getting domanated like this but it does put Big Show's size over here.Nice to see HHH get frustrated and DQ himself still getting the last word.Kane coming out was kinda obvious but effective.
Cena Rap= Lol nice way to get creative. I love Cena's old gimmick so nice to see him rap again.Good Job.
Kurt Angle vs John Cena WWE Championship= Very good match, but i wished you would have wrote the whole thing out. I love the ending, nice way to show Angles skill and smarts with a heel mentality. I love seeing Angle finally getting what he deserves.
Overall score=91 out of 100
Nice job with some good matches, woulda liked to see the ME written out though. You keep writing and ill keep reading.

Born and raised in germany-polish ancestors-16years-Animation
Many people get mad at me for planing my future..But that's not true.I'm never really planing anything.I dream...I dream of successing school well,studying Animation and Character Design.After that I hope to find a nice and cosy firm,where I can animate movies for children,not sure if in 2D or 3D.Besides the movies I want to work on Character Design and all this nice stuff... for games perhaps? Because I really enjoy writing,I hope to start my own project,where I make my own animated film.<3 That's something I dream everyday of.It may be weird,but the story and developing it and their characters and world helps me.Not only to fall asleep everyday...but it's also something I can calm down to.It's cheering me up.And that's why I recomend everybody to invent stories!
Is that still a bio? Oh well...enjoy and oversee my english mistakes. :*

Dee Sharp's Tea Jewelry
My tea jewelry wardrobe got a wonderful addition last week in the form of a new teapot and teacup ring from Dee Sharp of North Carolina. (And thank you, Denise, the fellow tea-lover in cyberspace who suggested I visit her booth at the World Tea Expo!) Dee has loads of lovely jewelry designs including lots of tea-themed ones, and my eye went straight to this ring and within about 60 seconds it was on my finger. I have teapot or teacup earrings, bracelets, a necklace, Pandora beads ... but I'd never had a ring! Saw one in a catalog perhaps a decade ago, failed to order it, always regretted it ... you shoppers know how it is, the one that got away. Only when I got home and took off the ring did I noticed that her "signature" is stamped inside the ring. What a nice touch! You can also check out her website (deejewelry.com) and see designs such as her Shelley teacup and saucer jewelry.

LOVE the tea ring! I had not seen this particular piece of Dee's. I must have one!
So glad you met up with her. She's a delight, isn't she?

A 13-year-old boy is under arrest for the shooting death of a 37-year-old woman in northern Iowa. The boy's name has not been released because of his age.
Mitchell County Sheriff Curt Younker said in a news release Monday that deputies were called to a home about eight miles west of Osage about 7:30pm Saturday. Deputies found Gretchen Cooks dead inside the house.
An autopsy determined she died of several gunshot wounds.
The boy has been taken to the North Iowa Juvenile Detention Center in Waterloo.
The sheriff did not release any other details about the shooting or comment if the suspect and victim knew each other

The greatest art is the purest art. Six years, three albums: the lyrical dissertation Food & Liquor (2006), its thematic successor The Cool (2009) and controversy-drenched LASERS (2011). Now, Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album.

My House Husband: Ikaw Na! is about a married couple who has a non-traditional set up. After losing his job, Rod (Ryan Agoncillo) had nothing else to do but take care of the kids and man the house while his wife, Mia (Judy Ann Santos), looks after putting food on the table. With Mia always away, Rod met their new neighbor named Aida (Eugene Domingo), and the two developed their friendship.
Along the way, situations arise that test the arrangement and their relationship. As Rod and Aida's friendship intensifies, Mia felt all the more suspicious about their neighbor's intentions. As Mia's career is improving, Rod realized that there is a reversal of roles between the two of them.
How will they manage their married life if their commitments are put to the test?

INFO: Apartments located in the 2nd floor are completed with fan (NO AIR CONDITION)
These new relaxing apartment complex with the care possibilities for guests which need recovery is situated in the new area of Hurghada, named Magawish, located 250 meters from the sea, approx. 15 minutes from Hurghada Airport and 5 Minutes from the new shopping area at Senzo Mall. Our property is a peaceful oasis for all of you who want to escape from hectic and stress, but still want to enjoy the most beautiful time of the year with all advantages of culture, mentality and oriental traditions.
Hurghada was once a fairly small and unimposing fishing village, located next to the Red Sea and boasting a number of superb beaches. Today, the resort of Hurghada is almost unrecognizable from its past life and has grown to become the most visited tourist destination in the whole of Egypt, with more than 100 different hotels, many of which line the shoreline. Famous for its superb diving opportunities, Hurghada is especially appealing to those with little experience of scuba diving, who come to marvel at the underwater reefs and awesome marine life. Tourism is now a huge part of Hurghada and each year, many tourists choose to combine their holiday here with visits to other prominent locations along the Nile Valley, including the relatively nearby city of Luxor.
Hurghada International Airport is an international airport located in Hurghada, Egypt. It is located inland, 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest of El Dahar (downtown Hurghada). It is the second busiest airport in Egypt after Cairo International Airport.
Most major airlines in Europe and the Middle East can fly you straight to Hurghada International Airport (IATA: HRG) without having to stop in Cairo. Prices depend on the time of the booking and the airline. As you enter the airport building, you will see a big sign saying 'Visa 15USD'. You will be ushered towards a stand where you must buy the visa for 25 Euro (over 30USD). You can easily avoid this by going to the 'National Bank Of Egypt' stand in the same hall and presenting your passport, along with exactly 15 US dollars, to the attendant. He will give you the visa and you will be done in half the time, for half the price. If you are in Cairo, you can also fly to Hurghada on Egypt Air Express, a subsidiary of Egypt Air, the national airline of the country, which is now servicing domestic locations in Egypt. Prices vary: 400-900 Egyptian pounds depending on the season and how early you book your tickets. From Sharm el-Sheikh you can fly with Egypt Air for about 450-550 LE (the trip takes about 1 hour).
From Cairo: trip takes about 7 hours, depending on the operator. Good operators are Super Jet and Go Bus; avoid MCV Co. Prices range from 50 to 150LE for a one way ticket and buses will leave about every hour. From Alexandria: 2 daily buses. One is operated by Upper Egypt and leaves at 18:30, arriving in Hurghada around 4:30 the next morning. This is not ideal as you will find the city asleep and it is very hard to get a taxi this early. The second bus, operated by Super Jet, will leave around 20:30 and arrive around 6:30 in the morning. Prices are around 90-100LE for a one way trip. From Luxor: about 4-5h by Super Jet bus or longer by Upper Egypt. Super Jet runs twice daily and Upper Egypt has more frequent buses. From Aswan: 2 daily buses, both operated by Upper Egypt. The first one leaves at 15:30, the second leaves at 17:30. The trip takes at least 8 hours, meaning you will arrive in Hurghada after midnight. Prices are around 50-55LE.
Buses leave for many destinations from the Old Town bus station. Eighty percent of them run on schedule; the others may face many hours' delays. Be there at least one hour before the scheduled departure. Having a local fix your ticket might be a good way to avoid a lot of frustration, whilst saving money. Buses leave for Marsa Alam (3 times a day), Luxor (every hour), Cairo, Quseer, Sharm El Sheikh and other cities.
There is no normal public transport in Hurghada. White mini vans (Toyota Hiace) called micro bus have established routes. Locals are the main users, but it is quite easy to use them.
Taxi drivers in Hurghada have astonishing talent for spotting tourists from far, far away; look at the approaching car and it will stop for you - at a price.
If you need a cheap limousine, taxi service, minibus or car rental at any time contact us please.
Our prices are published daily, weekly and monthly, excluded the cost of final cleaning. Additional expenses for water, electricity and security services are not included, there are subject to an extra charge.
