Travel Diary Boreal or Bust To write "Paper Chase," about the future of Canada's vast boreal forest, contributing editor T. Edward Nickens and ornithologist Jeff Wells spent six days in June paddling through Ontario's back and beyond. To get a sense of their trip to this true wilderness, take a peek at Nickens's travel journal. Text and Photography by T. Edward Nickens
Day One/Wednesday
Before heading into the Ontario backcountry via floatplane and canoe, I spend two days talking about boreal forest conservation with activists, loggers, locals, and scientists. Here, Gillian McEachern stands in a canyon of towering timbers, deep in the Kenogami Forest. McEachern has spent eight years fighting for boreal forests, from the backcountry to the boardroom. Just a few months earlier she'd purchased a single share of Sears stock, attended the company's annual shareholders' meeting in Chicago, and asked corporate officials what they planned to do to preserve Canada's vast boreal treasures.
Day Two/Thursday
I didn't want to overlook the human element of boreal forest conservation. I drove through the Ontario town of Geraldton, so tiny it has a downtown only three blocks long. There I met a laid-off mill worker, Chris Walterson, who gave me a rough-road tour of the timber cuts around Kenogami. From there I headed to an abandoned sawmill just outside town, where an overgrown lot now serves as a sort of repossession yard for the Greenstone Economic Development Corporation, a local community-based nonprofit organization. Dina Quenneville walked me through a virtual graveyard of logging machines, repossessed after their owners—mostly one- and two-person operations—could no longer make payments.
During the last days of the public comment period for the Ogoki Forest—one of the only remaining southern boreal forest units with large chunks of virgin timber—hundreds of e-mails and phone calls poured into Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources. Callers pleaded against widespread road construction and timber harvest. A slowdown in logging followed, according to Quenneville. And that, she says, was a gut blow to the local timber industry, already reeling from mill closures and labor unrest.
Quenneville was dwarfed by the hulking machines—skidders, slashers, delimbers, trailers for workers. She apologized for the dark shadows under her eyes, but it had been a rough year. "It's easy to sit in a Toronto cafe and breathe a sigh of relief that this yard is full of repossessed machines," she said, the words catching in her throat. "But the paper you're writing on, the diapers your kids wore—those things come from the forest. Not long ago I had a 65-year-old man weeping in my office, because he'd lost everything he ever had. These are not greedy people. They are just people who want to make a living in the only place they have ever known. And the last thing they want to do is destroy it."
Day Three/Friday
My ticket to the boreal backcountry was a Twin Otter floatplane. Wilderness North outfitters runs five backcountry lodges and eight remote fly-in outpost camps. We made a stop at Miminiski Lodge, on the Albany River, where a First Nations guide pointed out the rapids and rough spots on our planned Albany River route. Then we were off . . .
…but not without a bit of nervousness. My companion was Jeff Wells, a senior scientist for the Boreal Songbird Initiative. He's an affable, even-keeled fellow, with a blocky face highlighted with dark brows and graying locks, yet there's a residual youthfulness about him. Despite his status as one of the continent's most knowledgeable boreal ornithologists, the notion of a new bird or unconsidered insight into breeding grounds ecology brings about a flush of boyish wonder. But I must admit, he gave me pause. Jeff showed up dressed for a remote wilderness trip in denim jeans, tennis shoes, and a blue cotton button-down shirt. Thankfully, he more than held up his end of the bargain, dragging boats, carrying heavy portage packs, and paddling like crazy.
Day Four/Saturday
We paddled waters that ranged from wide-open, wind-whipped lakes to protected channels through tiny, forested islets. Cliffs rose around us. The horizon was studded with an endless chasm of trees. At least for now.
Wilderness tripping is a time-honored Canadian tradition, and we did it the old way: We carried boats, gear, and canoes around the bigger rapids, a process called "portaging." Our roughest portage took hours, and we wound up bushwhacking down a rocky chasm.
"I can't help but think of the people who came across the Bering land bridge," Jeff said, exhausted. "They'd hit something like this, and just keep going, with no idea at all of what lay ahead. At least we had a map. We knew the open water couldn't be too far."
It wasn't. Thankfully.
Day Five/Sunday
Headed east along Kawitos Lake, I couldn't help but keep a hopeful eye out for a glimpse of brown hide half-hidden in a stand of black spruce, or a glint of sunshine on a polished antler. We paddled through the heart of woodland caribou range in Ontario, which is in the crosshairs of the debate over boreal forest management. A major part of Ontario's plan to manage the future for these embattled creatures—and by extension for songbirds, waterfowl, pine martens, wolves, wolverines, walleye, and northern pike—is to cut nearly every acre of standing southern boreal forest outside of the province's delineated parks.
Known as the "caribou mosaic," the plan is overseen by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Designed to "emulate" the scale and patterns of fire disturbance, the mosaic calls for timber clearcuts up to 115 square miles in size, on a schedule that will allow for blocks of older-aged forests required by woodland caribou to come "online" over five staggered 20-year harvest periods.
I had seen woodland caribou once before, in a far corner of Ontario, on a nine-day trip through Wabakimi Provincial Park. When I first saw the bull woodland caribou, he was striking a pose by the water's edge, blood-red antlers glistening. A mere few minutes passed before I beached the canoe and took up the trail, but already the forest gave little indication that a 400-pound animal had passed through. There was a mossy rock turned upside down. A broken stick. I picked up a clump of moss and pressed it to my cheek: moist, cool, freshly turned. But it was rutting season for woodland caribou, and the thought of suddenly confronting a sex-crazed creature with four-foot-long antlers gave me second thoughts. I turned back to the river. It was difficult to believe that such a huge animal could move so quickly—and vanish so completely—in these dense woods.
Day Six/Monday
On our last full day on the water, we loaded up on bird recordings before meeting our floatplane pickup. Before leaving the wilderness we stopped in at the diminutive First Nation village of Eabametoong. You can see the village dock in the photograph above. A crowd of young children were diving and swimming. It was quite the reception.
At the village council headquarters, I spoke with Xavier Sagutch, a tribal council member. With one hand shoved in a black fleece coat and the other gesturing strongly, he pointed out the details on large "values maps" taped to his office wall. The tribe had been marking moose hunting areas, spiritual sites, burial sites, trapper trails, sturgeon spawning areas, patches of wild rice, pictographs, and other sites significant to the Eabametoong Nation. The purpose? "The logging is coming, we know this," Sagutch told me. "We have to think now about our special places."
I know what he means.

Tutorial about how to make platform movers/elevators
So, I recently have been learning Unreal and discovering things for myself as well as researching things myself. I found that there are good and meh tutorials out there about different aspects of the editor.
If anyone's interested, I've started a blog about my experiences, including my own writeup tutorials and I recently wrote my own tutorial about how to create a simple elevator: Adding Movers/Elevators in Unreal . If even only one person is helped by the tutorial, that would make me happy Also, I welcome any suggestions, etc if they have any for things people may want to see included in the blog as I continue teaching myself. I know that most of you are probably well-versed in the editor, but I'm sure there are some of you out there that are just starting out and/or teaching themselves. |

A few months ago I read a post called I Write to Unravel Life's Lies. The headline drew me in, but the words that followed spoke huge truths.
The critical whispers are louder than the loudest shouts of praise. The doubt speaks more often than the affirmation.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who says "me too" when reading something like this, and I suggest taking the time to read that post in its entirety.
We're not the only ones who are afraid or who fear rejection.
It's sad for me to admit this, but there are so many things about life that I'm uncertain about — so much of it is unclear to me.
But I do know that underneath all of the questions that I have, there are some really amazing truths that keep me going.
I'm not a huge reader, and I never have been. In fact, I can count the number of books I've read over the past few years on one hand.
This isn't something I'm particular proud to admit to you, especially since I consider myself a creative and intellectual guy.
Last year I read Packing Light, written by Allison Vesterfelt. I came across ten words in her book — and things for me have never be the same.
Where your passion meets their need, that is your calling.
Now these might not be as impactful to you as they are to me, but if you know what I've been going through in the past year you'd understand.
I've learned a couple of things along the way:
1. I love to write and the fire has been rekindled.
2. I love to help and encourage people.
3. I love being creative.
Jeff Goins wrote something a few months ago that resonated with me.
Most writers struggle with the same thing, one little thought that threatens to destroy their message before it ever leaves their fingertips: what I say doesn't matter.
Not a day goes by that I don't wonder if my efforts are worth it. I wonder if the time I spend sharing my story actually makes a difference.
But one thing I know is this.
Even if one life is changed by what I say, it was definitely worth it.

Keeping Up With the Gays of DC and Marvel
By Andrew Villagomez
A new young out and proud hero was also introduced to the new Teen Titans. Bunker, who is of Mexican descent and his family and village are supportive of him, is the creation of Scott Lobdell. Since the focus of the storyline is on all the heroes, we are still getting a taste of Bunker, who always has an upbeat persona on him. [SPOILERS] San Diego Comic Con announced in the near future we will meet Bunker's boyfriend from Mexico, who was left behind in a coma (but will wake up).
The well-known DC married gay couple, Midnighter and Apollo from The Authority team, Have received changes with The New 52. They are part of the Stormwatch series, and they are no longer married, but instead met for the first in the first issue last year. They ar both still gay, but Midnighter seems to be cautious about it in public. Each interaction between the two since meeting implies they will become a whole pair once again.
This year marked the 20-year anniversary of the coming out of Marvel's leading gay hero, Northstar, and to celebrate they brought us the joy of the first same-sex superhero wedding in Marvel history (probably the most talked about comic book event this year). Northstar and his long term civilian boyfriend Kyle wed this past June in New York (a nice nodge to a year after same-sex marriage passing in the state). There is a graphic novel, Astonishing X-Men: Northstar, released of the monumental moment, and events leading to it. In issues following the wedding, we see how Northstar is taking on his husbandly role and his overprotecting self is emerging, which will be interesting to see how that affect's the newlyweds and Northstar's relationship with his teammates when Kyle's safety is jeopardize.

Government leaders must more forcefully communicate to the public and municipalities the urgency for water conservation and more efficient water management as Arizona faces a long-term drought, some Valley residents told top state officials Wednesday.
About 50 residents gathered at Scottsdale Community College for the first of four meetings planned by Gov. Janet Napolitano's office to get public comment on water issues.
The meetings are coming as Napolitano's administration considers the recommendations of the Arizona Drought Task Force that the governor formed in early 2003.
Speakers at Wednesday's forum offered mostly general suggestions on how to make the task force's proposals more comprehensive. The meeting was taped for Napolitano, who was absent after having surgery a day earlier to remove her right ovary because of a cyst. She plans to attend the remaining sessions Dec. 14 in Tucson, Dec. 16 in Flagstaff and another in the Valley at a later date, said her chief of staff, Alan Stephens.
Stephens was on the panel at the Scottsdale meeting with Herb Guenther, director of the Arizona Department of Water Quality and chairman of the drought task force, and Lori Faeth, the governor's adviser on environmental and natural resource issues.
Speakers lauded the task force's work in compiling drought management and conservation strategies, but noted gaps in the plans.
The task force fails to point out that control of development and urban growth is critical to ensuring prudent use of water resources, said Jean Calhoun, an official with the Nature Conservancy's Arizona office.
In addition to state water management strategies, the plans should call for more local community conservation efforts, Calhoun said.
Others said there should be more emphasis on implementing methods for reuse of water supplies, harvesting rainwater and use of new conservation technologies.
Tempe resident Tom Hildebrandt, vice president of the Arizona Riparian Council, said the state task force "sidestepped" addressing the need for protecting riparian areas and assuring water supplies for sensitive ecosystems.
Stephens said all of the issues raised could still be addressed in the state's strategies because the plans are works in progress.

America is in deep turmoil. Incidents of police violence have resulted in the deaths of several unarmed African-American citizens, spawning protests in cities across America and even in England. Many expert observers define this conflict primarily as a racial issue, while others point fingers at the flawed judicial system or inadequate training on the part of police personnel. Still others see the root cause as pre-existing structural violence where unbearable distributive injustice is becoming progressively more acute.

Hi! My name is Anna White and I am an editor here at the LINGUIST List. I am originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, and I began working at the LINGUIST List in December 2013. In May 2013, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. While at Baylor, I learned about the Linguistics program at Eastern Michigan University and the wonderful opportunity to work at the LINGUIST List that this program could provide. I enrolled in the Master's program in the fall of 2013. I am the Calls and Conferences team leader, and I edit all of the calls for papers and the conference announcements. I have also just started working on the Multitree project. I am so thankful to have a job that is relevant to my field at such an early stage of my career. Every day I look forward to working with other linguists on projects and services that make wonderful resources accessible to the linguistic community. I find my work very meaningful, and I am so grateful to be here. A sincere thanks to everyone that supports the LINGUIST List. Outside of Linguistics, my interests include yoga, cooking, art history, and interior decorating.

Benin, Bight of
Benin, Bight of
geographical nameBay, northern section of Gulf of Guinea. It extends along the West African coast about 400 mi (640 km) from Cape St. Paul, Ghana, past Togo and Benin to an outlet of the Niger River in Nigeria. Major ports include Lomé, Cotonou, and Lagos. It was the scene of extensive slave trading during the 16th–19th century, and the region of coastal lagoons west of the Niger delta became known as the Slave Coast. By the 1830s trade in palm oil had become the major economic activity. Petroleum was discovered in the Niger delta in the 1950s.

Movie News After Dark: George Lucas And His Wood Don't Need You, But 'Klown' and 'Snowboy & Crow' Do
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 30, 2012 | Comments (3)What is Movie News After Dark? It doesn't matter. Just go with it… We begin tonight with a very cool bit of concept art from Tron: Uprising, the new animated show that has spun off from the Tron: Legacy film and the rebirth of the Tron franchise in general. This feels like a much better idea than a sequel to Legacy, as this universe has always seemed built for animation anyway. To add to the buzz around the show, Gamma Squad has Six Reasons Why You Should Watch Tron: Uprising.

Pinny lanes | On the margins and in the barrens, soccer gains a foothold
Celebrating Washington County's wild-blueberry heritage is Wild Blueberry Land in Columbia Falls. The site features gift shop and baking on premises, as well as lots of blue paint. (Copyright © 2006 Alice Sneary)
Deblois, Maine | In the part of the state that Mainers call Down East, soccer has flourished along with a bumper crop of wild blueberries. For the seventh consecutive summer, migrant blueberry harvesters, many from Mexico, on Aug 19 contested former area high school players for the Wyman's Cup. The cup is named for the Jasper Wyman and Son blueberry processing company based in Washington County, the source of some 90 percent of the nation's wild blueberries, and represents one of several grassroots soccer stories recently in the news.
Surprising organizers, several hundred spectators turned out for the 6 p.m. match, a fixture set only after the harvesting had been completed faster than expected (see Katherine Cassidy, "Soccer Tourney Caps Blueberry Harvest," Bangor Daily News, Aug 21). "It's like a Fellini movie" said Wyman president Ed Flanagan of the stream of cars arriving at the remote field. Occupants set out blankets and lawn chairs and drank beer while watching the Mexican side prevail 3–2 over the locals.
Some 300 Hispanic workers, from Mexico and Honduras, work seasonally for the Wyman company. Honduran workers, in fact, asked to play soccer as well and were scheduled for a game versus Mexico on Sunday. Overall, an estimated 8,000 migrants work at a dozen camps in Washington County. About 65 percent are Hispanic with many of the rest from the Passamaquoddy and Micmac tribes of Maine and Canada (Katherine Cassidy, "Harvest Harmony," Bangor Daily News, Aug 15).
A compelling description of the area comes from Mainerec.com.
The barrens are a stark, wild, almost surreal landscape, a smooth undulating carpet of blueberry plants, rhodora, tea-berry and bracken with only an occasional lonely pine or great glacial boulder to break the horizon. In June the barrens are speckled with the white blossoms and on a nice summer's day the air is thick with the fragrance of ripening berries and sun-warmed laurel.
Worldpress.org showcases another of the unique soccer cultures in the USA (Amy Bracken, "Embracing Refugee Youths with Soccer," Aug 15). Ten thousand refugees from Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe resettled in the Rust Belt hamlet of Utica, New York, have struggled to assimilate, but the pickup football matches at a local high school have proven popular with the large numbers of youth. Refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burma, Somalia (Bantu), Haiti, El Salvador and Jamaica mingle and create an ad hoc community, while a local refugee center assists with language and job training.
Many immigrants and refugees here call soccer the one reliable joy in a transient and difficult life. But also, in this depressed town, soccer brings together those who might otherwise live in isolation from one another. Before, during, and after games, players ask each other where they learned to play soccer, what the rules are in their country, and what the conditions were.
Local youth clubs have noticed the talent on offer. Win Zaw, 14, of the Karen refugee community from Burma, played with former Burmese national-team members at refugee camps in Thailand. One hundred and twenty more Burmese families are due to be resettled in coming months. "[T]he only word they had to hear was "soccer,' " says youth coach Mike Koperda of the new arrivals, "and that was enough to inspire them."
Moving south, the annual International Festival in Baltimore from Aug 5–6 featured a soccer tournament. "It reminds me of my home country," Sergut Admasu, of Ethiopia, told the Baltimore Sun while watching Ethiopia versus El Salvador. "You don't see people [here] playing soccer this often."
The Washington Post published a recent front-page feature on the attraction of area Latino soccer leagues—and the relatively lucrative construction jobs that go with them—to professionals from Central America (Nick Miroff, "Constructing Lives Off the Soccer Field," Aug 7). For example, Calros Nerio of El Salvador, working in suburban Virginia in the off-season and playing for Liga de Manassas, "makes more in a week installing windows and doors than he made in a month as a pro fútbolista." More than 30 Latino men's leagues field teams in Washington, with between 8,000 and 12,000 players competing each weekend. (See also 11 Apr 06.)
Finally, lest one think the grassroots phenomenon is confined to the Northeast and Atlantic states, the Kansas City Star reports on a local league for African teams (Peter Makori, "Soccer Brings Together Kenyans in KC," Aug 13). Kenya FC brings together former Kenya Premier League players, but, again, serves a unifying function and as a bridge between ethnic camps.
"Since we formed this team, we always have reason to meet," says Nassir Ali, president of the Organization of Kenyans in Kansas City.
In the Washington Post on 5 Nov 06, David Montgomery details how soccer flavors the memory of Oscar Antonio Argueta, a day laborer who died suddenly following a match sponsored by Maryland immigrant advocacy group CASA ("One Final Gift").
He decorated the apartment with photos of his soccer teammates. He played in two leagues. He asked [fiancee Dilcia Areli] Banegas to wash his uniforms extra carefully, by hand. Sometimes he would come home with his feet so swollen that he said it was time to hang up his cleats. But by the next weekend, he'd be eager to play again.
"He used to say, 'I'm going to die playing,' " Banegas says.

More like Minnesota Twinberwolves, am I right?
No? OK, never mind then. Just a guy throwing a pitch. Enjoy your pun-free existence.
P.S. Cool socks, Kevin Love.
(via Timberwolves.com)
It's not even the beginning of the preseason yet, so now is the perfect time to hear about how great your favorite team is going to be. Right now, everybody looks "as good as they've ever looked" with their "15 pounds of added muscle" and "explosiveness like back in their younger days." Optimism is very high right now, as every team is expecting to improve and rough estimates place 10-13 teams in the playoffs in each conference. If you can't get excited about your team right now, you're probably a Bulls fan. And even they're going to make the playoffs.
Ergo, it's not surprising that Kevin Love would say a lot of good stuff about the Timberwolves. However, when you read it, it's hard not to get super pumped up about the Timberwolves. From the Portland Tribune:
"It will be a big surprise to me if we didn't make a huge leap this year and make it to the playoffs," the Lake Oswego native told me Wednesday. [...]
"We're going to have a chance to be very good," Love said. "We're hoping Brandon can stay healthy through 82 games. Kirilenko is a big addition. Shved hopefully is going to be a big deal for us.
"We'll have more firepower in terms of veterans. Brandon and Andrei will help our locker room and on the court. It will make Coach Adelman's job a lot easier.
"If everything is put together, if Ricky comes back healthy, we're going to be a force to be reckoned with."
Yeah, the Timberwolves! Let's do it!
Sure, Kevin Love mentions that the team needs two guys to be healthy, one who had a medical retirement a year ago and another coming off a blown-out knee, but still. And sure, even Kevin Love has to throw in a "hopefully" when bigging up Alexey "Whiskers" Shved, but still. And sure, he's only hoping to make the playoffs and not even really do anything beside that, but still. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius the Timberwolves and I feel like you should be very, very thrilled about this if you're one of their fans.
And I would say now is the ideal time to be excited, since once the season starts all of the "ifs" Kevin Love is describing are going to come true and the Timberwolves will have a bunch of guards who either have no knees or can't do anything in the NBA. But this very moment, it's good to be a Timberwolves fan.
Team USA winning gold: very cool.
Team USA winning gold, followed by an uproarious dance party that Kevin Love seemingly refuses to participate in, thereby making him look like the most humorless on Earth: hilarious.
And when such a clip is set to "Boom Boom Boom" by the Vengaboys? Even better.
I don't want to alarm anyone because the likelihood of Kevin Love being lost in London and no one noticing is very slim. However, I feel like I would be doing everyone a great disservice if I didn't alert everyone to the possibility.
To wit, this tweet by Chris Paul that accompanied the picture above:
Train Station after the game! #Fasterwaybacktothehotel lol
No problem, right? If Team USA wants to take a train back to their hotel because it's faster, that's cool. That sort of "of the people" thing made Charles Barkley a star at the Barcelona Games. And as you can see, all 12 members of the team are present for this photo taken before boarding.
This is when things start to get dicey.

All regardless of their caste, color or creed celebrate the festival of Holi that brings together everyone and makes them one. Smothered with colors, soaking wet with dyed water and filled with joy, everyone celebrates festival of colors- Holi with great gusto. This festival makes everyone feel equal and the all inequality flows away with the colored water.
Holi Convene- Holi Samaroh Various clubs and social bodies also organize the Holi Samarohs on the day of Holi festival in their community or society. These events help people to get together and celebrate in the spirit of oneness. The samarohs also feature cultural shows to entertain the people and thereby give them a chance to know each other better.
Festivals like Holi are the time when everyone wants to be close to their nearest and dearest ones. Wishing by the way of greeting cards and Holi messages are also great ways to greet Happy Holi.
To celebrate Holi is… to Play Holi… this festival is especially famous among the young children who gear up for Holi, months before the final day. The month of Phalguna can occur anywhere in the period of last week of February and 1st week of March. In the earlier days, natural colors were used to play Holi that were extracted from flowers, which bloom during the season, but in this day and age, artificial colors are used to play Holi.
A day before the Holi festivity, a bon fire is made. This is a ritual in India. Legends have it that, the bonfire represents the burning moment of Holika that also epitomizes the defeat of evil. According to myths, Holika was the sister of the evil king Hiranyakashipu. When Hiranyakashipu failed to make his son surrender his fondness and devotion towards Lord Narayana, he asked Holika to sit with Prahalad in the bonfire. Since Holika was blessed with a boon that she would remain unharmed in the blazing fire, she acted upon her brother's request. But as the Almighty would have it, Prahalad came out unhurt and on the contrary, Holika ended in ashes.
Although Holi is celebrated all over India but celebrations in Mathura and Banaras are celebrated with great enthusiasm that extends for about a week. Here, each temple hosts its own jamboree in its unique way.

The race for Arizona's contested U.S. Senate seat just took an aggressive turn. Democratic challenger Jim Pederson on Tuesday launched the first in a series of new television commercials that suggests Republican incumbent Jon Kyl rewards special-interest groups that funnel campaign cash to him.
Kyl called the approach negative and said he plans to keep his campaign positive, at least for the moment. But GOP party operatives already have been playing political tricks for weeks.
There's plenty at stake.
The race remains up for grabs, according to the results of a statewide survey conducted by Arizona State University and KAET-TV (Channel 8) and released Tuesday. With two months to go before the November election, Kyl leads by 10 percentage points.
"Almost one in five voters still are unsure about how they will vote, so Kyl does not have the campaign sewn up at this time," said poll director Bruce Merrill, a professor at ASU.
Meanwhile, the Cook Political Report, a Washingtonbased organization that analyzes political races nationwide, rates the Arizona race as "Leans Republican." The nonpartisan organization considers the race competitive, but still says Kyl has the advantage.
Cook rates six other Republican-held seats up for election nationwide as "Toss Ups," and eight other Republican held seats as either "Likely Republican" or "Solid Republican."
Pederson, the former chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party, has contributed nearly $8.3 million of his personal fortune into the effort to unseat Kyl. His latest effort is a TV ad that he said marks a new phase in the campaign.
It focuses on Kyl's voting record on oil and energy issues. The commercial states, "Jon Kyl has changed. Twenty years in Washington has changed who he represents. Big Oil has showered Kyl with big money and he's returned the favor."
The 30-second ad says Kyl has accepted $275,182 in campaign contributions from oil interests while he has voted to give oil companies tax breaks, voted against criminal penalties for price gouging and voted against funds for alternative energ y. The spot depicts Kyl with President Bush, and shows Kyl looking sullen as a gas pump rings up a sale behind him.
"Today we begin to hold Jon Kyl accountable for what he's been doing in Washington for the past 20 years," Pederson said at a press conference at his campaign headquarters in Phoenix.
Kyl's votes in the Senate have increased prices at the pump and increased the country's dependence on foreign oil, Pederson said.
Pederson favors a plan to develop alternative energy, an approach that he said would reduce the amount of U.S. money heading to oil-rich countries in the Middle East that pose national security risks to the U.S.
During Pederson's press conference, someone placed two buckets of mud and fake money outside Pederson's office, but Pederson denied that the new phase of his campaign amounts to political mudslinging.
The early part of Pederson's campaign focused on his own background as a shopping mall developer, his values and his views on leadership, introducing the largely unknown political figure.
The new ads will target the differences between Pederson and Kyl on topics including minimum wage, immigration, health care, foreign policy and other issues. "It's time for this campaign to really get down to the core issues," he said.
Pederson spent $484,000 on TV ads last week, while Kyl was running commercials at a $238,000-a-week rate. Neither side has shown any indication of letting up.
Kyl previewed his new television commercial Tuesday after an event with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez to launch "Viva Kyl," the senator's Hispanic voter outreach program.
Kyl's ad focuses on his work on water issues. It's the third in a series of ads that also focused on his work on victims rights and national security. The water ad hits the airwaves today.
It's distressing that Pederson has chosen to "go negative," Kyl said.
"I gather that he is trying to change the dynamic of the campaign, since he can't succeed at persuading people to support him based on his own ideas and experience and background," Kyl said.
Ads that compare candidates' views on the issues are fair game, Kyl said. However, Pederson's new ad is negative because it suggests Kyl's votes on oil legislation is motivated by campaign contributions, Kyl said.
Kyl noted that he has taken only $80,700 from oil and gas interests during the current election cycle and that he voted against the Energy Policy Act of 2005 because it was a "staggering special interest giveaway" that increased the federal deficit. Bush favored the legislation.
"We're going to continue, at least for the time being, to focus on positive messages. And I think it sets up a contrast between the two campaigns and the two candidates very clearly," he said.
In the past weeks, the state GOP has aggressively denounced Pederson as trying to buy the election with his largely self-funded campaign. Party operatives have distributed fake money with Pederson's portrait and put up roadside signs stating that "Arizona i$ NOT for $ale."
Both Kyl and Pederson said they were encouraged by the ASU poll results. Kyl said it showed that he held the lead, while Pederson said he has moved into striking range.
"Kyl is maintaining his lead over Pederson by winning the party crossover battle and by attracting socially conservative voters to his campaign," Merrill said.
The poll showed 22 percent of registered Democrats are defecting to Kyl, while only 11 percent of registered Republicans support Pederson.
The statewide telephone poll of 846 registered voters was conducted August 24-29 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

Pretty Simple (as long as you have a *3D printer) Feel free to scale them up and probably have to change your media at 1 gallon and above.
I used a Thing-o-matic MakerBot with a Stepstruder MK7 to print the adapter.
I'm stirring 33oz batches of Plaster of Paris to make a baking template for a plastics component of an invention that will be going up here soon as well.
I made my STL file then scaled it to 10 to get the best blend between size potential and the right amount of strength to withstand the torque from the drill.
I was going to just use a rod and tap a hole in it, or even salvage an old electric beater head, trim the whisk parts off and just make it work as a drill bit that way.
I thought: you know if I can make the head in Inventor, I can make the bit adapter in Inventor too!
So I did.
First I made it so the whole part was laying on the XY.
Upon seeing the disparity between the top and bottom I thought I was going to have to build it vertically.
10% through I was sure it wasn't going to work because of the distance I was lofting.
Much to my surprise it got handled with very little detail loss. I did have to file it a touch (in step II), but in the end I was quite happy that I let the job keep running.
NOTE: The 'Plaster of Paris' was way more viscous than I thought. It was actually like concrete. I'm sure the head will hold up to this, but the drill was far too weak to support it. So, being a true martyr, the bit went ahead and broke off to save the drill's life. In short "Make your bit out of metal if you're working with anything of a higher viscosity than oil based paint. So since you want this to last you should probably do that anyway. I'll leave the bit STL up though.
How about www.replicator.com?
Then those of us who are trying to make do with our regular hand tools can still find useful things to do, such as pfred2's suggestion, is far more useful than "print this with your 3d printer".
We are early adopters. Not to make it a tit-for-tat or "be argumentative." Actually it is in my nature to be that way, so what I'm really saying is please take this the right way.
Once upon a time, a Credit Card, a 2D printer, A computer itself, a Fax machine, a TV etc... were all things that most people would scoff if they were expected to have handy as a resource.
In my humble opinion - if you don't have a 3D printer that can turn trash into new tangibles on your desk in 10 years, I'll be shocked. We throw away 270,000,000 of the 300,000,000 used tires we produce every year in this country. Vulcanized Rubber can be ground up and mixed with foam additives to make any 3D printout you can imagine. A single tire could make a closet full of useful things for your home, yard, life......
That's my $0.02
You'll have a few motors and some control switches with cool LED lights for your Aluminum Rubik's Cube Robot.
You just can't beat a corded drill for real power.

I love this time of year when wild garlic is in season. The white flowers are really pretty and I love the soft garlicky flavour they produce when cooked; it's not as strong as the everyday garlic you'll find in supermarkets. The flowers are not only fantastic with salmon and lamb, but are also great in salads. You can also eat the leaves and the stem, both of which can be used in cooking.
Found near streams, wetland areas, in nature reserves and also funnily enough you will find it growing in woodland areas amongst bluebells. It's great to be able to walk through the woods and smell the wild garlic.
There's so much that goes well with wild garlic, but my particular favourites are cooking up a garlic veloute and a small parmesan espuma, parfait! Look out for wild garlic infused dishes at The Vineyard soon.
I'd love to hear all about what your wild garlic recipes so please message me on Twitter @danielgalmiche.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

How hard is to just say e.g. 'yes Shane Watson's form as a batsman is a bit concerning, and we would like him to do better' rather than making a phony attempt to pretend nothing is wrong.
I'm going to pre-empt the Limey **** who's going to say "Twatto should put silicone tape on his front pad!!!!!1one"

Dave Matthews has settled into a comfortable midlife as an arena-rock Everyman. His namesake band has its folk-jazz fusion down to a busy science -- it has never met a note it couldn't dance around for hours. And Smilin' Dave presides over it all with those Gumby stage moves and a voice that floats like a happily inebriated butterfly. For a decade, he's done it his way and made it pay off: Last year, the band rolled in more than $60 million on the road, and it filled stadiums again this summer.
But on Some Devil, his first solo release, he temporarily shelves one of the biggest gravy trains of the last decade to try out some songs with a few old friends (frequent DMB collaborator Tim Reynolds, Phish's Trey Anastasio), a new rhythm section (Louisiana drum maestro Brady Blade, bassist Tony Hall), and a big ol' orchestra. What promises to be a radical departure really isn't, however.
''Some Devil'' falls in line with the last couple of Dave Matthews Band studio albums, which de-emphasized open-ended jams in favor of a more sculpted, song-oriented approach. It does embrace a new level of sophistication -- or is that bombast? -- with strings and horns. And it also projects a greater vulnerability, as Matthews performs with little more than a guitar for accompaniment on a handful of tracks. The one constant? That flawed, fascinating, instantly recognizable voice.
But when Matthews pushes out of his comfort range into falsetto, he sounds like he's slip-sliding on a skating rink of musical scales. ''I'm dizzy from all this spinning,'' he sings on ''So Damn Lucky,'' and any listener who tries to hang on to these meandering vocal melodies will feel the same way. It's an improv-based style that Matthews still hasn't mastered in the way that quirky talents such as folk-soul pioneer Terry Callier and the late Jeff Buckley did. Buckley, in fact, would've sounded more at home in the helium atmosphere of ''An' Another Thing.''
The arrangements, though, nudge Matthews into some promising new areas. Blade brings both a touch of world-beat exotica on a variety of percussion and an airtight rock pocket, which Matthews has lacked in the past. The drummer's second-line New Orleans tempo, dusted by Dirty Dozen Brass Band horns, turns ''Dodo'' into the kind of sly, insistent pop song that Matthews couldn't quite pull off amid the frills and fills of his regular band. On ''Gravedigger,'' Blade stokes the beat to a crescendo, a big rock anthem that U2 might covet. (Speaking of Bono and the boys, Matthews does a passable ''Joshua Tree''-era imitation on ''Trouble,'' with guitars tracing reverb-laden patterns against a swirling gray-cloud keyboard backdrop.)
If this is not quite Matthews' ''roots'' album, it comes darn close on idiomatic explorations such as ''Save Me,'' with its churchy call-and-response cadences stoked by Reynolds' irreverent guitar. Anastasio sets the hoodoo meter to the ''swamp'' setting on ''Grey Blue Eyes,'' a high-tech step or two removed from a field holler. ''Up and Away (Eden)'' detours to Jamaica and the more aggressive soul-dipped side of '70s reggae. And on ''Some Devil,'' Matthews develops a persuasive case of the solo electric blues.
But the Matthews Band's absence does leave a void, mainly because their instrumental acrobatics usually glossed over the flimsier songs written by their fearless leader. Here, there's no hiding from the unbearably twee ''Oh'' (''I love you oh so well/Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow''), the orchestral overkill of ''Too High,'' the sub-Cat Stevens balladry of ''Baby.'' The singer morphs into a human beat box on ''Stay or Leave,'' laying down a subtle bed of clicks and pops that's far more interesting than the tissue-thin melody. Wisely, Matthews repeats the strongest song, ''Gravedigger,'' as an acoustic finale. With a few more tunes as compelling as this one, a ''Dave Unplugged'' album might be worth considering. Until then, Matthews better rejoin his band and get back to the arenas, where he belongs.

Unquenchable Curiosity = Bags Full of Books
- How many books can you fit in a book bag? Nine-year-old Beau Walker knows because he typically checks out five bags a week. His mother, Jen, is happy to encourage his infinite interest in exploring new ideas even though it means schlepping home about 30 books a week. "People usually laugh because I'm trying to carry these gigantic, overstuffed bags," she says.
- Needless to say, Beau is more than ready to "Dig into Reading," the theme for Teton County Library's 2013 Summer Reading Program for children, ages preschool to 5th grade, which runs from June 8 to Aug. 3. Although Beau hardly needs a prize to entice him to crack open a book, he enjoys all the Summer Reading activities,,,

In "Riddle and Mystery," a Tapestry of Faith program
The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science... It was the experience of mystery, even if mixed with fear, that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty—it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude. In this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. — Albert Einstein
Big Question: Can we ever solve life's mystery?
Here is another question which may prompt a quick "no." The session examines this seemingly obvious answer inviting youth to revisit a few Big Questions from previous sessions. A story, in the form of a drama, suggests that questioning is basic to human nature. In WCUU, youth create UU entries for a Mystery Day Parade modeled on the traditional Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. WIT Time leads them to consider the big questions most important in their own lives.
The playlet and the parade can both be done simply or with elaborate creative participant input. Read both activities carefully. Determine realistic parameters for each based on the time available and the energy of the group.

One down, two to go.
That's the number of series St. Rita needs to win if it's going to win its sixth straight Kennedy Cup, the Catholic League's equivalent to the NHL's Stanley Cup.
Sounds fairly simple. Four wins in the next six games.
However, anyone who has watched a Kennedy Cup game knows the task remains one of the most difficult in high school sports.
The tradition, emotion and atmosphere, not to mention the anxiety of trying to beat a hot goalie, is equal parts exciting and suffocating.
St. Rita made quick work of overmatched St. Ignatius in the teams' best-of-3 Kennedy Cup quarterfinal, winning 8-4 in Game 1 and 4-1 in Monday's Game 2.
Now comes the hard part.
Before we look ahead, though, let's take a brief look in the review mirror.
What St. Rita hockey has accomplished the past five years is mesmerizing. Five consecutive Kennedy Cup championships, plus two state titles in three seasons.
Let's call this miraculous run precisely what it is: a dynasty.
Without question, players win championships, and St. Rita has had some outstanding stickmen during its run, guys such as Chris Cimoch, P.J. Gross, Keith Burchett, Jack McDonnell and Henry Capouch, along with current studs Chris Foley and goalie Marty Napleton.
They not only represent some of the best players in St. Rita's history, but the finest the Southland ever has produced.
However, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say there is no way St. Rita is in this enviable position without coach Craig Ferguson.
Unless you've been out of the country, you're aware the "Fergie Farewell Tour" is in its final stretch. Yes, Ferguson is retiring.
Not only is the man one of the best hockey coaches the area ever has produced, he's one of the finest coaches, spanning all prep sports, in state history.
Twelve Kennedy Cup championships: five as coach at St. Rita, four as coach at Mount Carmel and three as a player at Mount Carmel. That's more rings than fingers, folks.
And two state championships.
Ferguson has a way of getting his players to meet — and sometimes exceed — expectations.
I know what you're thinking: Will St. Rita, which finished second in the regular season, send Ferguson, 51, into retirement with a sixth straight Cup?
I never would bet against the Mustangs. But winning another Cup is going to require a few choice bounces going their way.
Not only that, they're going to need Napleton to stand on his head, which he is more than capable of doing, have other players beyond Foley light the lamp and treat the penalty box like Principal Conroy's office and stay out of it.
"I want to win because I want to win," Ferguson said. "Not just because it's my last year. I want this for the kids. I'm sure the kids feel pressure of not being on the team that turns that thing (Kennedy Cup) over to another team."
Hoisting the Kennedy Cup is all Foley has ever known. The senior, who recorded 20 goals and 21 assists in 22 games this season, has won three Cups and two state titles in his prep career. If there's a more decorated student-athlete at St. Rita, please step forward.
Foley admits this team doesn't want to be the one that stops the streak.
"We don't want to let down the alumni and players who started this streak," said Foley, a Homer Glen resident. "We want to carry on that winning tradition. I never expected to be able to achieve all of this when I made the decision to attend St. Rita. It's pretty neat.
"But going 4-for-4 winning the Cup would be icing on the cake. I want to win it just as bad as I ever wanted to."
To do so, the Mustangs will need to beat the winner of the Benet/St. Viator series in the semifinals. St. Rita was 1-2 vs. Benet, 3-0 vs. St. Viator during the season.
If they can get past the semis, most likely either Fenwick, the regular-season Catholic League champ, or Providence, will be waiting in the finals.
Fenwick arguably is the more talented, experienced team. The Friars are 3-1 vs. St. Rita, including Saturday's 3-0 win at Soldier Field.
Despite the goose egg, if the Friars have a weakness, it's in-between the pipes.
That's why it would not surprise yours truly if Providence upsets Fenwick to land in the finals. The Celtics have plenty of firepower, even with the loss of Rich Yusa to injury. Ben Brandau, Mike Vennetti and Jordan Ernst rank among the top scorers in the Catholic League.
Still, with five straight Kennedy Cups, this is St. Rita's Cup to lose.
"Coach has said it clearly to us, 'Don't try to win this for me,' " Foley said. "But it's still in the back of everybody's mind. We want to send him out the right way. He built this program into a powerhouse."

Gosh, that is a good perk. :yes:
Unfortunately, we are mere visitors so we'll have to carry our own. :lol:

Definately the largest rooms of all the DVC rewsorts..and always will be according to DVC cast members.
Stay near the main building if you can request it. That way the bus service is more efficient.
Olivia's Cafe is absolutely amazing! They have the best burgers and chicken pot pie.
WE have stayed at OKW twice. We love it there and are going back this April. The studio rooms are big and they have two real beds. The bus service is good, and the boat to DTD is fun. There is not as much food selection as other resorts, but the store is good. The atmosphere is very laid back and fun. It is an easy resort to get around. Good choice , have fun.:mickeykid
I worked there a few times. Most buildings don't have elevators, so keep that in mind if you're bringing your luggage up to the third floor in the heat. It can get pretty tiresome
Thank you all for your helpful replies.
Thanks for the tip. :thumbs:
That's good to hear. :yes:
Thanks for that info. :thumbs: We are really looking forward to staying there.
Oh gosh, that does sound like hot work. I have actually requested a top floor room but DH can make use of the exercise in place of his weight-training. :grin:

lol have fun!
My family loves to stay close to turtle pond, buy a mug and get free refills at the Turtle Shack or grab a snack, and the pool at turtle pond is often less crowded then the main pool the only downside is Turtle Shack closes early( about 6 pm) than Good's Food to Go
Thank you, Stitch's buddy. That's very helpful advice. :thumbs:
We love staying at OKW. Been there so many times. It is very relaxing place to be. Just the atmosphere alone is worth the stay. Now if you are staying in a studio the only thing you will have is just a small refrigerator and a microwave. We stayed in one a few years back. No washer or dryer either so make sure you bring plenty of quarters for laundry. I do hope you enjoy your stay. If you like stop by the Gurggling Suitcase and say hi to Ramona. She is a very special cast memeber there. Attached 2 pics. One of us at the Gurggling Suitcase and one of the slide at the pool.
That slide is a blast..Also there's a sauna in the lighthouse.
:wave: Thank you both for the tips, and the photos. :thumbs:
I'm really looking forward to staying at OKW. :tigrbnc:
You are quite welcome.
Your welcome. Have fun on your trip!
