How to Create an Effective Author Platform via Irene Watson @bloggingauthors
Every author needs an author platform to stand upon if he or she is going to get media attention. No, an author platform is not a box to stand on, but it will help an author to rise above his peers and separate the experts and credible authors from the amateurs. An author platform is more like an enhanced resume that provides your credentials and helps publishers and the media take notice that you are a professional, you have experience, you are good at promoting yourself and promoting your book and topic of interest without being self-serving, and overall, you know what you are doing.
The benefits of having an author platform are many. It will help you to get noticed and to appear as an expert to publishers, the media, and readers. Think of the author platform as your credentials. It should be an ever-evolving document or list of your accomplishments, marketing successes, and strategies for continuing to promote yourself and your work.
Following is a list of the qualifiers (proof you are a notch above others) that you should include in your platform. Remember, you should have the vast majority of these in your platform. It's not sufficient just to have a website, although that's a starting point:
· Website:Your website should include at least the following pages: Home, About the Author, Buy the Book, Your Blog, and a Media Kit page. Anything additional such as interviews, FAQs, or simply fun pages with games or quizzes, or additional stories or information about the book is a plus.
· Prior Publishing Experiences:Not just a list of books you've published, but your success stories-sales numbers, awards won, numbers of printings or editions, etc.
· Speaking Engagements:A good thing to do is keep a journal or log of every event you do, from speaking to the local rotary club to presenting at a national conference on your book's subject. Publishers and the media want people who are not afraid of public speaking.
· Workshops: Have you facilitated or participated in any workshops relevant to your book or topic?
· Attendance at High Profile Conferences, Events, Workshops:Even if you were not a leader at an event, showing you attended is proof you are serious about staying current on your field of study and changes in the media and publishing worlds.
· Your Online Presence: How do you reach out to readers online? Your author platform includes your blog, newsletter, email lists, social networking, podcasts, videos, and online publications such as articles and book reviews.
· Readings and Book Signings:How frequently do you engage the public face-to-face in promoting your work? Where have you had book signings, readings, or participated in group author events?
· Online Forum:Do you have a way to engage your readers online? It could be a Facebook page for your book, a discussion group on your website, or a listserv group on your topic.
· Coaching/Consulting:Have you been a coach or consultant in your field of expertise on an individual level or for any organizations in need?
· Memberships:What professional organizations do you belong to relative to your topic and to publishing? How involved have you been with these organizations, helping to coordinate an event or serving on the organization's board?
· Media Press Kit:Your press kit should be available for download from your website for the media's perusal as well as be in a format you can mail. A press kit should include a press release for your book, a sales sheet, your book cover/image, an about the author page, testimonials or reviews of your book, and a copy of your book or a sample chapter at least, depending on whether it's on your website or you are mailing a copy.
· Traditional Media Appearances:Any television or radio appearances you've made, as well as being interviewed or featured in magazines and newspapers.
· Internet Media Appearances:Have you been a guest on someone else's blog? Have you been interviewed on Blog Talk Radio or other Internet radio podcast shows?
· Publications:Beyond books, have you published articles or stories in magazines, newspapers, or anthologies?
· Proven Contacts:Who is paying attention to you as an author? How many followers do you have on social media sites? Who is commenting on your blog? What is your website traffic? How many people are on your email list? Who is "Liking" your pages, and how many reviews are you getting posted by readers at online bookstores?
· Target Audience:Who is your target audience? What connections do you have with them, what kind of proven track record do you have, and what plans do you have for future interactions?
It may seem like having an author platform is a lot of work, but if you simply keep track of everything you do and you are actively promoting your book, it will be more like keeping a diary of your experiences. Of course, you have to build the website, go to the conferences, participate in events, but it is all fun and worthwhile if you are passionate about your book, and your passion will set you apart from other authors.
Today, an author platform is less about proving to a publisher that your book deserves publication and you will help market it. While you can still use it to find a publisher, it's more about getting media attention, whether you are a self-published or traditionally published author. Your platform can be what convinces the media to interview or feature you, which in turn will make readers take notice and buy your books.
Here are some of the benefits to be derived from having a prepared author platform:
· Proves an author's visibility and credibility as a professional author.
· Provides recognition and expertise that will make the media take notice and give you future publicity.
· Reflects that an author is authentic and not simply self-serving-all your activities have not been solely hard-selling of your books, but also participating in information-sharing and in helping others, such as participants at events and conferences.
· Allows the media and others to make a quick decision about your expertise when they need an expert for a story, a guest for a radio show, or a speaker at a conference.
Think of your author platform as your enhanced resume and your credentials. Constantly working to improve your author platform and to have it ready when it is needed will increase your chances of getting attention, becoming known by the media, and ultimately, selling more books.

ARTICLE: Traditional Vs Self-Publishing: The Financial Perspective via Irene Watson @bloggingauthors #mwn
For most of its history in the last century or so, self-publishing has had a bad reputation, often because it was believed that an author who self-publishes is probably not a very good author. Most likely, the author had tried to get published by a traditional publisher, only to receive a slew of rejection letters. Rather than realizing his work was substandard, he stubbornly decided to self-publish his book. He then most likely invested and lost a ton of money to publish some second-rate books that did not sell.
That situation may have been true until a couple of decades ago. I am sure that back in those days, many good writers received rejection letters who would have loved to self-publish, but they had financial common sense and realized they could not market the books well enough to sell them.
In the last couple of decades, this situation has changed, although the perceptions have not changed among all authors. The less expensive ways to self-publish available today-due to print-on-demand technology that makes even printing one copy of a book inexpensive-have meant that authors can publish their books for very little money. E-book formats have made publishing even more inexpensive in the last few years. And the advent of the Internet has provided storefronts and marketing avenues to reach audiences so an author who is committed to learning how to use web and social media tools can sell books online without ever having to leave his home or deal with carrying around paper copies of his book.
But the old stigma against self-publishing remains. I have heard of authors published by traditional publishing houses who have snidely told self-published authors that because they self-published, they are not "legitimate writers," and that they need to be with a real publisher if they want to have a successful large print run and have their books reach the public in large numbers. Such comments show that these traditionally published authors know less about the publishing world than the self-published authors. I daresay many a self-published author is making far more money and selling far more books now than traditionally published authors. It is even questionable whether traditional publishing is not the more foolish route to take today unless the book is published by one of the major publishing houses that really has the budget to market the book extensively.
In fact, anyone can start up a publishing company these days and publish anyone else's books, paying out the usual 10 percent royalties. I've even heard some authors refuse to go the traditional publishing route, calling it a form of "intellectual theft." After all, these traditional publishers can publish the book and sell print on demand copies that might cost them about $6 a copy for a $20 retail book. The publisher then makes a $12 profit, after paying the author $2 for the copy. Yet many traditionally published authors continue to maintain that somehow they are among the elite because they are traditionally published while they look down their noses at self-published authors. These traditionally published authors may well be throwing their money away, spending hours writing books to make someone else rich when, with a small amount of extra work, they could be making $14 for their books if they simply did for themselves what the traditional publisher is doing for them.
However, many traditional authors refuse to see matters this way because they have a misguided notion that artists are above money matters. When the debate ensues about self-publishing, and the issue of money is raised as one of the best reasons to self-publish, I have actually heard traditionally published authors snidely remark to their self-published counterparts, "It's about being a real author and loving your art and working with an editor and publisher to create a quality piece. That's what being an author means to me. If it's all about the money to you, then there's no point in us continuing this conversation."
When people hold such attitudes, there is no sense in continuing the conversation. You can't convince someone about something he doesn't want to hear. Besides the fact that many self-published authors do work with editors and a group of beta readers to receive feedback before publishing their books, the bottom line is that traditionally publishing a book often can be one of the most foolish financial decisions an author might make.
Of course, being an author is not all about the money, but money does matter. Anyone who thinks money does not matter is not living in reality. A true author writes because he or she loves to write. Writing and spreading a message through your words should be the first and foremost reason why a person writes, but nothing is wrong with making some money off your art. If the average book takes about five hundred hours to write, then that is a huge time commitment. If your publisher is going to give you $2 a book when you could make $14 a book, unless you are absolutely convinced that your publisher is going to sell more than seven times as many copies as you can by being self-published, are you really making the right decision?
What if you did self-publish? That extra money you make off your book can pay for the printing of your next book. If you traditionally publish, your book is at the mercy of the traditional publisher who may decide not to publish your next book, and even to remove your first book from the market, or simply to close up shop, which leaves you basically unpublished again.
If you self-publish and you do make some money off the first book, you may need to reinvest some of that money to publish the next book so you can make more money, but you'll still come out ahead with the first book, and the extra money might end up providing you with a nice little nest egg to help free up your time so you can write even more.
I'm not denying that many traditionally published authors have maintained their artistic integrity while being very successful with their book sales, but that paradigm is becoming less and less common. If you want to be an author, rather than look down your nose at the thought of self-publishing, acquire some good business sense and do your homework. Being an author is not only about writing, but also about being in business. If you want to be successful, you need to embrace the business end of publishing, and in business, money does matter.

Despite the cover, Genocide doesn't appear in this issue. No complaints from me, as she's had plenty of panel time of late, beating Diana twice, so far. I don't doubt Diana will overcome her in the end; meanwhile, it's good to catch up with other aspects of this storyline.
Namely, Jason and the Zombienauts vs the US Navy; Diana vs the Cheetah; and Zeus vs Polynesian god guy Kane. I've included an image of the latter here just to lift the review. Nothing to do with the buff guy in a loincloth. That's Kane, to whom Diana recently swore fealty to overcome a plot point. I like Kane.
Wonder Woman's clash with the Cheetah is notable for showing just how good Diana is; she does something here no other hero could do, and she does it with confidence. That's the Wonder Woman I want to see, not the doubting soul we've witnessed of late. Mind, the spirit-sapping Genocide can be blamed for that, and we see just how badly she can affect someone in the way Donna Troy acts here, turning on Diana and accusing her of all sorts. Bearing in mind that Donna started out as Diana's mystic twin, we get an idea of just how resilient Diana is. Let's hope Zeus knows this. He'd better, as he's going to get his ass whupped for what he does this issue following his battle with Kane.
A highlight in Gail Simone's script is the return of Steve Trevor, who gives Sarge-Steel-Really-Dr-Psycho a dressing down. And he even remembers that he's married to Etta Candy who, in a lovely piece of characterisation, Diana urges to 'Be strong. Be Amazon'.
The best part of the book, though, is the destruction of the screaming chicken armour Diana donned to face Genocide. It didn't give her much protection and, worst of all, didn't look good in battle. Just look at the estimable Aaron Lopresti's cover - even he can't make the costume look dynamic in movement; it's heavy, clunky, inelegant. It's not a costume for any self-respecting action heroine, it's a posing piece. Great for Alex Ross portraits, but for any other purpose, just pants.
Hey Kids, it's Origins and Omens time again! Despite the fact that Simone told us Diana's origin only last year, the DC-wide mini-stunt demands she do so again. Happily, there's a new wrinkle here, telling us just where Hippolyte got the mud from to make her clay baby, thereby explaining why the rogue Amazons of the Circle consider Diana a dangerous 'dragon'. The set-up has Hippolyte visiting the injured Tom Tresser in hospital (as opposed to helping Diana out, as she's in the area, but hey, this is Stunt Month) and it works well enough but heck, Tom gets about two lines of dialogue and one makes him seem an idiot. If he doesn't start acting like the real Nemesis soon I may have to give up on the guy . . . hopefully he'll be more himself come his featured role in the six-issue Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape.
The art this issue was generally joyous, with some lovely facial expressions. Lopresti close-ups are always marvellous, though smaller figures are sometimes less successful (such as Nemesis on page six and the battling Navy guys on page eight). The big moments, though - such as the appearance of a bothersome behemoth - are pretty special, his Diana is strong and gorgeous and he's pretty competent at drawing gods battling. What seems tough for Lopresti, and inker Matt Ryan, is making the Cheetah look scary. I doubt anyone could, given Terry Dodson's redesign. George Perez created a crazed werecat. Dodson remodelled her as a Las Vegas showgirl. 'Grrr, I am woman, hear me PURR! Or maybe just mewl a little.' Honest, she looks as if she's shaking newly painted nails dry, not primed to slaughter a superheroine. Please DC, go back to the Perez Cheetah, it knocks spots off the current design.
Brad Anderson's colours are spiffy - the post-Genocide scenes are suitable dour, the visit with Kane serene, the origin of Diana intense. And letterer Steve Wands makes a chatty script easy to read.
So, another entertaining issue. Heaven knows why it's called Rise of the Olympian, as we're four issues in and that's been but a tiny part of the storyline, but what the heck, we're in a great run of Wonder Woman and I can't wait to see where we go next.

Silicon is the missing link in many fertility programs. This cell-strengthener also plays a roll in photosynthesis and acts as a general tonic. Silicon can be a spectacular yield-builder. Recently boron has been identified as a silica synergist so this formula contains boron at around 0.80%.
Dia-Life™ is based on a micronised diatomaceous earth which contains 26% (approx.) silicon in amorphous form (i.e. unlike quartz crystal, there is no risk of associated health problems). Diatomaceous earth (DE) consists of the microscopic, fossilised, chelated remains of diatoms - single-celled aquatic plants. A large part of the plant response is based on silicon, but DE also contains a broad range of micronutrients. DE is also widely used as a bio-balancer by organic growers, due to the abrasive nature of the material.

The dog in art came into its own in the 18th century, with such artists as George Stubbs. It reached an apex of popularity in the 19th century with the reign of Queen Victoria. For centuries though the inclusion of a toy dog in portraiture frequently symbolised loyalty, devotion, trust and obedience and was usually but not always a feature in female portraiture. The inclusion of a Greyhound or similar large dog in male portraiture, often sitting affectionately at the sitters side, symbolised power, control and ownership. Thus the wife was loyal and faithful to her husband who in turn had power and control over all he owned and surveyed!
Because of their antiquity the toy breeds were usually Toy Spaniels, Italian Greyhounds and more latterly Pugs. The earliest depictions were on frescos and sculpture and the marble sculpture featured here lies at the feet of Louis II the good de Bourbon, Duc de Bourbon (1337-1410) on his tomb in the Palace of the Popes in Avignon. Beside him the tomb of his wife, Anne dAuvergne, Comtesse de Forest (1358-1417), daughter of Béraud II, Comte de Clermont en Auvergne, who has a similar but now headless toy dog at her feet.
The two little dogs represent loyalty and faithfulness on the part of Louis and his wife, had he been a King or a Pope (there are no Popes buried in the Palace of the Popes), then he would have had a lion at his feet, symbolic of power. This depiction of loyalty, faithfulness and also of belonging is further reinforced by the wide ornate collar with the attached lead the dog is wearing, so typical of the period.
The Palace of the Popes little dog is similar to one shown in the arms of a lady on the fresco, The Triumph of Death, in Camposanto di Pisa which was completed circa 1318 by Buonamico Buffalmacco.
Louis II was a devout Catholic, supporter of the church and loyal to the Pope. He was the son of Pierre I de Bourbon and Isabelle de Valois and on both his fathers and mothers side descended from King Louis IX of France who in 1248 left Paris on the Seventh Crusade to recover Jerusalem from the Turks who had taken it in 1244. He died of the plague in Tunis in 1270 having gone to North Africa to fight the Muslims.
The Palace of the Popes was constructed in the early 14th century as a mighty symbol of the Churchs power in ecclesiastical and also worldly matters. The Catholic Church regards the seven Popes residing in Avignon from 1305-1378 as legitimate Popes. The Palace was looted during the French Revolution when the dog on Annes tomb was probably decapitated.

The Olympic College Jazz Classic was first introduced in 1985 as the Port Gardner Jazz Festival, then the Elliott Bay Jazz Festival, by long time jazz educator Dave Cross. We at Olympic College are proud to have the opportunity to carry on the tradition of this outstanding festival to educators and young musicians throughout the Northwest.
We are fortunate to have leading educators throughout the Northwest who believe in vocal jazz education for the elementary, middle school, junior high and high school student. I believe it is because of these musicians' dedication to and love of the genre that we are able to offer a festival that is truly education based. By maintaining constant contact with leading higher education instructors, I hope this festival will continue to help share knowledge and ideas in vocal jazz. I am proud to have the opportunity to carry on the tradition of this outstanding festival.Our upcoming Festival will be held Saturday, November 22nd, 2014. Click HERE for more information. Please make plans to join us!Revised on 9/19/14

Mac and Mastercook: Help Please
So, to my dismay, mastercook evidently is not Mac friendly. Any of you great cooks have an alternative? I looked at Mac Gourmet, but was really disappointed with the Nutrition plug in, which doesn't have many of the (admittedly weird) foods I use (for instance, shiritaki noodles). What do you do here?
Get a PC. :D You're welcome! :laugh:
LOVE YOU OUISUE!! :love:
lol, you adorable girl!
I have a Mac and use this software. I add all of my weird ingredients to the Nutritional Database to get my accurate calculations. I must have 1900 recipes or so. I have not had any problems. I would recommend it. I use it on my MacBook Pro and also shine it up on my iPad MacGourmet App when I'm cooking.
I used to use Mastercook and really liked it in my PC days.

Flaming Hearts And Spirits
The distance from the Phoenix should be about 30 meters — long enough to appreciate the arc of flaming arrows, and short enough to increase the likelihood of the archers hitting it. At that distance, a 30-pound bow is the borderline of what is useful, with 35-pound to 45-pound bows useful in the bow-draw weight range. Higher draw weights can be used, but the arrow's flight time is more rapid, and the effect of watching the flight is diminished. Also, disparities of 15-pound bows will be noted in the flight of arrows not being in unison.
Building Flaming Arrows
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth nearly a million here. Find out how to make a flaming arrow at www.greatcampprograms.com/crp_fire.html.
In essence, it involves trick birthday candles, cheese cloth, twist ties and some kerosene. Other methods are too heavy for lighter bow-draw weights, or they don't produce a visible flame. The trick candles re-light the arrows when they go out in flight, and maintain a small flame throughout the arrows' arc. Aluminum arrows that are 32 inches long work well–an archer with a 28-inch draw will have some arrow left to be on fire without burning an archer's hand, and aluminum arrows hold the flame well.
The Procession
The archers start out of sight with bows and arrows in hand (dressing in black is a nice touch). On a cue, the music sounds, and the archers walk around the campers, then among them, and then encircle the burning campfire, facing out towards the campers. At this point, ushers move the campers to a safe and advantageous viewing location.
Once the campers are settled, the archers turn and simultaneously dip their arrows into the fire, which erupts in flames. The arrows resume the 45-degree angle held high, and the archers walk to their firing positions, preferably walking closely in front of the campers along the way so everyone can have a good look at the burning arrows and archers.
120 Seconds
The time the arrows are lit and then released is about two minutes — maximum. They will stay lit in flight after about a minute, but prolonging the flame heightens the experience. After about two minutes, the arrows lose their ability to stay lit in flight, and compromise the arrow's integrity.
The effect of having all of the archers in their positions for a few moments so everyone can appreciate the sight also is a lovely touch.
If the Phoenix is difficult to see (very dark), then a laser pointer can do wonders for an archer's initial aim.
The Firing
The lead archer calls out commands. After "Extend," the cadence is quick — about a half-second per step. It is helpful to have the archers practice the movements and timing before the actual event. Having them all practice the cadence and clapping on "Shoot" works well, too.
Take sight — The last time you'll see the target; hold the arrow UP!
Extend — Take what aim you can; don't extend before this!
Draw — Pull back to your anchor.
3 If you shoot here, you'll mess up the effect.
Shoot (Not on 3! On "Shoot" only!)
Other Important Details
Music options: Last of the Mohicans movie soundtrack. I also had great success with real drums, as well as other musical instruments.
Prelude: Transitioning into the experience is helpful, rather than moving from, for example, a soccer match to watching a Phoenix burn. A campfire with stories — especially centered on themes of transformation, service, creation, change and/or adventure — can help set the mood.
As the pyre burns down, the entire audience encircles the structure to watch the undulating colors of yellow, orange and black. The campers will be excited, but staff can help establish the tone, from celebratory to meditative, depending on the effect/experience desired. If the camp has a goodnight ritual or song, that can be an enjoyable transition.

Bariatric surgery (such as gastric bypass or banding) helps people lose weight. It's only used for people who are obese and have not been able to lose weight with diet and exercise.
This surgery makes the stomach smaller. Some types of surgery also change how your stomach connects with your intestines.
Weight-loss surgery before pregnancy can:1
This surgery may increase your risk of having a cesarean section (C-section).1 But there is some debate about why. It may be that past C-sections increase the risk, rather than the weight-loss surgery. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your chance of a C-section.
Experts suggest that a woman wait for 1 to 2 years after bariatric surgery to get pregnant.1 This surgery helps people lose a lot of weight quickly. Getting pregnant too soon after surgery could mean that a growing baby might not get needed nutrients.
In most ways, your prenatal care will be the same as for other women. But there are a few differences.
Some women may have a hard time with the idea of gaining weight for pregnancy after losing all that weight. Talk to your doctor if this bothers you.
Making healthy choices can help you have a healthy pregnancy. Eating well and being active are two of the most important things you can do.

Dietary supplement
I'm taking a dietary supplement. It's one of the VEGA products and I'm really liking what it is doing. I have MUCH more energy! I see that it has probiotics and digestive enzymes, plus vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Hey, all that is GOOD STUFF! Here's a link to the website: http://shop.myvega.com/Vega-Us/Vega-Nutritional-Products_2 I don't represent them. I just like their products! I think I'm going to order some of them online as my local health store is $$$$$$$$! (too pricey!) I'm skipping lunch and just mixing water with their nutritional shake and I'm not sluggish in the afternoons any more! (phew!)...It was hard teaching math while digesting a big lunch! I'm also out walking EVERY morning now for at least 20-25 minutes and this morning, I went over 30 minutes in search of my coyotes (didn't see one of them...). But, I did see lots of roadrunners and cottontails and jackrabbits! :-)

The Gateway Project is the most environmentally threatening highway mega-project in British Columbia's history. It WILL affect our region's air quality and hasten global climate change. And it WON'T reduce traffic congestion.
Check out the MAP of the proposed Highway Expansion, and find out more about Gateway HERE.
Smart cities are now recognizing errors of the past, cancelling highway-building plans, and simply tearing freeways down...These include Milwaukee, Seoul, Toronto, Bogata, Chenzhen, and even Los Angeles.
The Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives' report Transportation Transformation shows how shifting investment from freeways to transit, electric rail and other efficient modes could rapidly reduce carbon emissions and make our communities more livable.

<< a bulletin from www.stopthepave.org >>
Greetings from your friends at Stop the Pave!
With everything from port expansion to coal exports to jet fuel pipelines stirring controversy in the region these days, we'd like to alert you to a couple of upcoming action opportunities:
1. Saturday March 16: Action for Better Transit Not Freeway Expansion
Join the Council of Canadians Delta/Richmond Chapter in calling for improved transit instead of building a multi-billion dollar replacement for the Massey Tunnel and expanding freeways. We will picket and leaflet the Ministry of Highways' Delta open house on Saturday March 16 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn 1665 56th Street, Delta, B.C. (Access via 601 bus from Bridgeport Station on the Canada Line) http://tinyurl.com/cqsz35b
"We need to make transit an accessible and convenient mode of commuting instead of spending our public money replacing the tunnel." said Cathy Wilander spokesperson for the Delta/Richmond chapter of the Council of Canadians. "We have to get people out of their cars. This is particularly relevant to our community as global warming from carbon emissions is here and our community, a flood plain, is particularity vulnerable to rising sea levels."
Improving transit is one of the most important ways to reduce emissions, and to give commuters a way to avoid congestion. Numerous studies and long experience shows that highway expansion just creates new bottle necks, wider traffic jams, and increased carbon emissions.
A new tunnel or bridge would allow Port Metro Vancouver to move much larger ships, including oil tankers and coal ships to expanded facilities, up the Fraser River. Oil spills and coal dust pollution are a serious threat to the ecological health of the River and the salmon that depend on it.

2. Saturday March 30: Global Day of Action against Chevron and the Pacific Trail Pipeline
American oil giant Chevron wants to build a destructive pipeline across unceded indigenous territory to carry fracked gas to the coast, and export climate change to the world. We say NO. We do not need fracked gas, we do not want another pipeline and we will not stand by as colonial governments and greedy corporations push us over the climate catastrophe cliff edge.

Government has "tunnel vision" when it comes to commuter needs:
Picket planned for Ministry of Highways open house Saturday in Tsawwassen.
Delta BC: The Council of Canadians Delta/Richmond Chapter calls for improved transit instead of building a multi-billion dollar replacement for the Massey Tunnel.
"We want transit not tunnels" says Cathy Wilander of the Delta/Richmond chapter of the Council of Canadians. "We need to make transit an accessible and convenient mode of commuting instead of spending our public money replacing the tunnel". Pointing to figures from the B.C. Government website, she continues "Right now 1 percent of passenger vehicles using the Massey Tunnel are buses. They carry 26 percent of the people heading in and out of Delta on highway 99. At the same time single occupancy vehicles account for 77% of usage. We have to get people out of their cars. This is particularly relevant to our community as global warming from carbon emissions is here and our community, a flood plain, is particularity vulnerable to rising sea levels."
Improving transit is one of the most important ways to reduce emissions, and to give commuters a way to avoid congestion. Numerous studies and long experience shows that highway expansion just creates new bottle necks and wider traffic jams.
"Replacing the tunnel also plays right into the hands of the Port Corporation who want the tunnel replaced to enable Port expansion and the use of larger ships on the Fraser River. A new tunnel or a bridge would allow much larger ships, including oil tankers and coal ships, to dock on the Fraser. There has been opposition to Port expansion since day one in this community and this opposition continues to grow. You have to wonder who this proposed tunnel replacement really benefits, our community and the needs of commuters or the Port Corporation?" asks Wilander
The group plans to picket and leaflet the Ministry of Highways' Delta open house on the Saturday March 16 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn 1665 56th Street, Delta, B.C.. "We invite others who don't want this tunnel replacement to join us" states Wilander.
The province's proposed replacement of the Massey Tunnel is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $3 billion dollars. "TransLink has cut bus service to save a few million, meanwhile the province is spending billions on freeways which increase our dependency on cars and tarsands oil," explains Bob Ages of the Council of Canadians Delta/Richmond Chapter. "1950's thinking won't solve the problems of the 21st century."
"We must stop spending public money on making the climate crisis worse, and shift the money to solutions like public transit and electric trains" says Eric Doherty with the Council of Canadians Vancouver / Burnaby Chapter. "It's time for all concerned people to take a stand against these freeway projects that are cooking our planet."

Enbridge Joint Review Panel comes to Vancouver and… WE SAY NO!
No Consent? No Pipelines! No Tar Sands! No Climate Crimes!
Monday January 14th @ 5:00 pm
Victory Square, Cambie & Hastings Street
Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territories
On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/ZLnKKO
On Twitter: www.twitter.com/risingtide604
* This event is in solidarity with IDLE NO MORE & frontline Indigenous communities. Bring drums and wear regalia.
* Noise demo: bring pots and pans (to bang), whistles, horns and such! (and ear plugs, it's going to get loud!)
* This is a child and family friendly event.
When the pipeline Joint Review Panel comes to Vancouver on January 14th it is our time to voice our opposition. It is our moment to say NO to this crazy climate crime of a pipeline and to expose the Review Panel for what it truly is – a sham, a corporate smokescreen, seeking input while reserving the right to approve the project regardless and removing the right of communities to say no.
On Monday 14th we invite you to attend the Enbridge Review Panel NO!SE DEMO!
Indigenous communities have already said no to this project and have repeatedly affirmed that free, prior, and informed consent must be respected by both colonial governments and industry.
More than 130 First Nations have signed the Save the Fraser Declaration, an Indigenous law that bans all tar sands pipelines within the Fraser Watershed. The Unist'ot'en Clan have made it clear that they oppose the construction of all pipelines, including natural gas pipelines, on their territories, that may even blaze the trail for Enbridge's proposal.
We are standing in full support of the self-determination of Indigenous communities and calling out the "consultation process" as inadequate and ultimately unacceptable.
Furthermore, the Joint Review Panel have provided a long list of issues that cannot be discussed during the hearings. Shockingly, one of these issues is climate change-perhaps one of the most significant impacts of the project.
Climate change impacts many communities globally as well as locally, and by affirming our belief in environmental justice we hope to mobilize grassroots communities in order to highlight the voices that will not be in the hearings and are generally underrepresented in the resistance to pipelines.
Unceded Indigenous lands are threatened to be further destroyed these projects. Subsidies and tax breaks to industrial corporations are promoted in the face of austerity for the people. People are being displaced by these projects and climate change around the world to live in exploitative and impoverished conditions whether they be in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver or in migrant worker camps. Militaries that are waging war against the people of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan are fueled by these industries. Structured sexism (or patriarchy) and other oppressions aid in determining who bears the brunt of social impacts of industrial expansion upon communities and who profits. Capitalism and state promotion of economic growth are the driving forces behind extractive industries.
Join with thousands as we meet the system's violence with our creative defiance. On the streets we will amplify marginalized voices demanding environmental and social justice and challenge the legitimacy of the Review Panel process. From every roof top in the city we cry No Consent? No Pipelines! No Climate Crimes!

@a4p – Not running wide =/= better though. Qualifying that Ferrari down in 6th has to count against Alonso. That's also a fact.
@A4p Fair enough that you recognise Vettel being great, but still, there was running wide at turn 1, and lightly brushing a wall at 1 point. Where were the other mistakes that Vettel supposedly made that others […]
@A4p Two isn't a number that could be described as "way too many". And that doesn't prove that Alonso did as well as he could have through the weekend, which was hampered by a poor Saturday (which he admitted to).
Yoshitsune commented on the post, Advantage Vettel – but Alonso still believes 2 years, 1 month ago
Yoshitsune commented on the post, Advantage Vettel – but Alonso still believes 2 years, 1 month ago
@a4p Yeah, I heard that too. It's not official, though.
I hope it's not true, it would be a very bad move for Ferrari.

Resident Raptor - Great Gray Owl
Cascades Raptor Center does not currently have any Great Gray Owl resident birds.
Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa)
The tallest and one of the largest owls in North America, the Great Gray Owl can be recognized by the large
head with a prominent facial disk that lacks ear tufts. The facial disk is
grayish white with distinct concentric, semicircular bars of brown. The
"eyebrows," lores, and chin can be grayish white, giving the bird a white
"moustache" that is broken by a black "bowtie" in the middle. The sexes are
alike with the female larger and sometimes darker. Upperparts are grayish
brown, broken by grayish white flecks and bars. The tail is very long,
wedge-shaped, and dusky gray with nine bands. The wings are broad and the
toes are short and heavily feathered. Despite its large appearance, the
Great Gray Owl is 15% smaller than the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus),
with the bulk of the Great Gray Owl made up of feathers (perhaps to survive
in the cold climates it inhabits). Eyes are yellow and appear small due to
the large facial disk. Flight has been described as slow and effortless,
much like a moth. However, they are capable of great bursts of speed.
Status -
The Great Gray Owl is both federally and state protected and
is considered a sensitive species. Suitable habitat is negatively effected
by logging and clear cutting in many areas. Forest fire suppression limits
the number of suitable nesting sites (large open snags), limiting population
density. Rodenticides used in grazing areas decimates prey base for the
Great Gray Owl.

I ran upstairs to see if my parents were up in their bedroom. They were, and it was dark in their room. But from the soft sounds of sex coming into the hallway, I was sure they were fucking or sucking. So I went back down to the basement again. I said, "OK everything ...

Joyfully. I had remembered this when Sara had first asked me to come over. "Jon, it looks like you're prepared," I said. He was wearing green and brown board-shorts. He smiled broadly and said, "I'll open another bottle of wine, why don't you two girls get changed." I grabbed my overnight bag and followed Sara to the bedroom. Before I could even unzipper my bag Sara was half-naked. She had a red bikini bottom and was trying to tie the back of her bikini top. Sara's body was slightly bigger than mine. She, like me, was an athlete during high ...

I saw this dress and thought that this would be the perfect dress for a black tie event or a wedding I have to attend. I love the detail on the shoulder! Unbelievable Price! I have to get my hands on this dress soon.
