It's not often that sequels are better than the original, but in the case of this season's IU Southeast mens basketball team — that just might be the case.
The fourth-ranked Grenadiers eclipsed the century mark for the fifth time this season in beating Point Park (Pa.) 110-95 Saturday night at the IU Southeast Activities Building.
Despite winning their fourth straight game, Grenadiers head coach Wiley Brown was not the happiest guy in the building after the game.
"I wasn't very pleased with our effort tonight," said Brown, who guided the Grenadiers to its first-ever NAIA II Final Four last season. "We have some really talented players, but sometimes they get a little lackadaisical and think a game here or there is going to be easy. We're trying to play way above where we played tonight. We're trying to win a national championship."
The Pioneers (7-7, 3-2) were taking it to the hosts early as a Nick Brown 3 gave the visitors a 22-15 lead with 11:37 left in the first half. IU Southeast (9-3, 3-0) then flexed its offensive muscle by ripping off a 24-6 run over the next 6:35 and led 39-28 after a Cameron Mitchell steal and dunk.
The Grenadiers, who lead NAIA Div. II in scoring at 97 points per game, had a 59-39 advantage at intermission. The home team nailed six triples and shot 51 percent in the first 20 minutes, but Point Park controlled the glass, much to the displeasure of coach Brown.
"[Point Park] had a ton of offensive rebounds and that shouldn't happen because we have a very athletic team," he said of the Pioneers' 15 offensive boards at the break. "[Point Park] wanted those rebounds. Rebounding is about desire. We had a long talk just now about being determined to go up there and get the boards. I was disappointed with all of the second shots they got. That's all we talked about in practice — not giving a good shooting team like them second shots."
IU Southeast placed five players in double figures, led by Kevin Mitchell's 26. Cameron Mitchell added 23 and totaled a team-high 11 rebounds with two assists and two steals to boot.
"Cameron Mitchell played really well, but on the same token, I saw him relax on some rebounds," Brown said of the reigning KIAC Player of the Year. "I thought he should have had 20 rebounds tonight. I told him that I want him to be great, and I felt like he settled for good tonight."
The Grenadiers next game is Tuesday night at Cincinnati Christian.
Point Park (7-7, 3-2): Nike Brown 21, Alan Heter 16, Matt Noszka 19, Gabe McNeal 17, Robbie Heatherington 18, Josh Pohlot 4.
IU Southeast (9-3, 3-0): Kegan Clark 6, Vernon Payne 12, Kevin Mitchell 26, Jake Simpson 17, Cameron Mitchell 23, Carlos Jones 2, Greg Magee 11, Martez Harris 5,Jordan Thompson 2, Aaron Hayes 6.
Halftime score: IU Southeast 59-39.
3-point field goals: Point Park 11 (Heatherington 4, Brown 3, Noszka 3, McNeal), IU Southeast 9 (K. Mitchell 2, Simpson 2, Hayes 2, C. Mitchell, Magee, Harris).
Rebounds: Point Park 51, IU Southeast 48.

ATM Malfunction
Over the weekend Brad's friend scored some bonus cash at the ATM and kept it.
He was at a C-store and used the ATM which is owned by a larger bank here in East Tennessee.
He went in to get $20 bucks.
Of course for the convenience of getting cash he had to pay a usage fee which was pretty expensive.
Out of the cash dispenser comes the $20 he requested but also an addition $20 bill. The $20 bills were stuck together.
So he walked away with the extra $20 and debated all weekend about keeping it or not.
I told him to keep it. It's only $20 bucks and heck, the fee the bank charged him to get $20 was crazy!
I said consider this your bailout.
So should he contact the bank or keep it?
They probably don't even know which person got the extra $20.
Thoughts? Respond on our Facebook Page!

Conergy PowerPlus modules could supply entire fleet of electric cars with clean power
After connection of the 5.3 megawatt solar plant in Murcia to the grid and the sale of the 2.3 megawatt park in Andalucía, the Hamburg-based system supplier Conergy is able to announce its third Spanish success within a month. The long-term Conergy partner Ennera is relying on premium quality from Conergy for the largest solar plant in the Basque Country. This solar power plant with a total capacity of 1 megawatt is located in Beasain in the province of Guipúzcoa, some 40 kilometres from San Sebastian. The experts installed the system on the 7,500 square metre roof surface of the industrial buildings of Ennera's parent company CAF, a manufacturer of railway and transportation systems.
Over 4,500 Conergy PowerPlus modules will be generating around 1 gigawatt hour of clean solar power per year – sufficient to supply the five electric vehicles of the "car sharing" fleet of the corporation in the neighbouring Ataún, enabling them to cover over 145,000 kilometres without creating any emissions. The company will thereby avoid CO2 emissions in two ways: The plant itself will prevent some 300 tons of greenhouse gases being emitted per year and the electric cars a further 30 tons.
Conergy MD Jiménez: "To be continued – another joint project in the second quarter"
"We are very pleased to be involved in this prestigious project in the region," said Luis Jiménez Gutierrez, Managing Director of Conergy Spain and France. "We have had a long and highly successful partnership with Ennera, which we will continue in the future with further interesting joint projects. We are already working on a concrete, even considerably larger project for the second quarter."
With the plant on the roof of the parent company's headquarters, Ennera is not only continuing on its sustainability course, but also keeping its bid for quality. "We went to visit the Conergy module factory in Frankfurt (Oder) and were very impressed – especially with the continual quality checks during the individual manufacturing steps," said Iker Zubiaurre, Sales Manager at Ennera. "That exceeded all our expectations and was a more than convincing argument in favour of choosing Conergy PowerPlus modules – which offer not only high quality in terms of manufacture but also outstanding weak light behaviour. This is very important in the Basque Country in northern Spain in contrast to the south of the country."
About Ennera
Ennera is an all-in-one renewable technology supplier. Focused on distributed energy and sustainable mobility, Ennera has a ground breaking 3.2 kW small wind turbine and an innovative electric car-sharing service available for individuals, companies and organizations.

Looking at this year's Best Picture nominees, I realized that while I had liked three, nine out of nine had made me tear up—including The Wolf of Wall Street. Fellow movie criers will understand. Especially for those of us who might hesitate to cry in the light of day, there is a singular pleasure to letting tears flow, even—or maybe especially—when what's happening on screen is really stupid. I come by this honestly. My father refuses to see any movie in which a child dies.
This outpouring of emotion is not limited to the cinema; after watching Audra McDonald and Norm Douglas perform "Bess You Is My Woman Now" in the recent revival of Porgy and Bess, my mom and I were so overcome that we had to skip the second act and go get a drink across the street. And the list of songs I can't listen to dry-eyed is so long that I've had to quarantine them in their own Spotify playlist. But movies are the biggest culprit.
The first movie that made me inconsolable was Dumbo—"Baby Mine," of course, after he's been taken from his mother—and the second, I believe, was Chipmunk Adventure, after the baby penguin is taken from his mother. My brother and I both sobbed so loudly in Land Before Time (after the baby dinosaur is taken from his mother) that we had to leave the theatre. Thank God we were never exposed to Bambi. (My mother, traumatized to realize that she was "Man," resolved at age five to spare her own kids the same shock.) Read More »

Big ears for British wheat
5 July 2005
Scientists at the University of Nottingham are working with researchers in Mexico to develop new varieties of wheat that could combine the best characteristics of British and Mexican types to bring about a quantum leap in yield while increasing the sustainability of UK agriculture.
The researchers are collaborating with the International Centre for Wheat and Maize Improvement (CIMMYT), a relationship strengthened by a recent workshop in Mexico supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). With their CIMMYT colleagues the UK researchers will explore the characteristics of crossing novel Central American varieties of wheat that have bigger and more fertile ears with UK varieties that have smaller ears but higher capacities for photosynthesis.
The research team is using a range of techniques, including comparative genetics, developmental biology and plant physiology, to help them to understand what it is that results in the Mexican varieties having bigger ears. If they could successfully find a way to get UK varieties of wheat to grow with bigger ears then the yield of a crop could potentially be increased in a sustainable way without the need for extra water or fertilizer.
Professor Michael Holdsworth, Professor of Crop Science at the University of Nottingham, said, "We have evidence that UK wheat plants have the capability from photosynthesis to produce more material than they do at the moment but they are limited by the size of their ears. We hope that the research we are doing could lift these limitations and enable traditional crossing between lines so that breeders can produce wheat varieties that would thrive in the British climate but produce much higher yields."
Professor Julia Goodfellow, Chief Executive of BBSRC, said, "Sustainable agriculture is a key aim of BBSRC. Research such as this shows how work on the fundamental physiology of a plant could identify the underlying causes of desirably traits, such as larger ears, that could help us to increase yields while reducing the environmental 'footprint' of agriculture."
Notes to editors
The collaboration between the University of Nottingham and CIMMYT scientists was strengthened by a workshop in Mexico funded by BBSRC with contributions from the commercial plant breeding sector.
BBSRC is the UK's principal funder of basic plant science research. In 2003 BBSRC undertook a consultation and review of the future direction of its crop science research. The review made its recommendations in early 2004.
About BBSRC
The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is the UK funding agency for research in the life sciences. Sponsored by Government, BBSRC annually invests around £380 million in a wide range of research that makes a significant contribution to the quality of life for UK citizens and supports a number of important industrial stakeholders including the agriculture, food, chemical, healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk

Hi there! First let me welcome you to the boards! I'm sure you'll find many people here more than willing to help you along your way as you prepare for your trip!
I know you must be excited about your first trip with your little one & the grandparents! I've never stayed at the Wilderness, but have eaten there for dinner (at the Whispering Canyon). Very fun place to eat dinner- even for kids!
For her b-day meal, I'd suggest a princess breakfast. I'd also go ahead & book it now. They tend to fill up rather quickly. There is the Cinderella buffet in MK with Cindy & her friends (which mostly are made up of the mice I beleive). There is also the Princess breakfast at Norway (I believe) in Epcot. There are different princesses in there. (Jasmine, Snow White, Belle). You'll have to take what you know of your daughter & who she loves to decide where to venture. I'm sure some others here have eaten at each of these places & would love to give their input as well!
The grandparents: It really depends on how old they are, if they've ever been there before & their health to determine how much they can/should do. Also, when you're going may play into the plans. I'm sure they want to watch their grand daughter enjoy the magic for the first time, so let them go at their own pace. They may want to take her on buzz light year while you hit space mountain. This type of pay off can work close to any coaster.
I hope I've helped a little. If you have any more questions, just ask, i'm sure you'll be getting lots of responses.
Can't wait to hear how your trip turns out!

Tomato Bacterial Speck
Bacterial speck is a disease that can affect tomato plants. It can be spread easily and ruin entire crops of tomatoes.
Causes and Symptoms
Bacterial speck is caused by a bacterium known as pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which is spread by rains and cool damp conditions. If the seeds used for planting are infected or damaged, this bacterium can infect the resulting plant. It can affect both the tomato foliage and the fruit.
Bacterial speck lesions begin as small black spots, usually with a yellow or gold ring around them. Leaves infected with bacterial speck will curl up. On the fruit, bacterial speck forms small, raised lesions. They may resemble freckles or cause you to think your fruit has been bruised.
Treatments and Control
In order to treat bacterial speck on tomato plants and control the infection, it is important for the home gardener to know that the fruit lesions that can appear are only present at the surface level, and if the disease is not far advanced it is possible to scrape them off of the fruit. After this step is completed, the plants should be treated with copper preparations.
It is typical to recommend copper sprays to protect your tomato crop, because copper is effective at killing many organisms that can attack tomatoes, including fungi and bacteria. Though bacterial speck is a disease of bacterial, rather than fungal, origin, it may respond to copper fungicide sprays for tomatoes. These copper preparations should be sprayed on the plants at the very first sign of bacterial speck. It is recommended that spraying be repeated every seven days. This treatment will help to minimize crop losses from the disease.
There are several things that the home gardener can do to prevent and control bacterial speck. Only buy your seeds or transplanted tomatoes from reputable merchants. Make sure your seeds are free of disease. They should have been treated with hot water in order to eliminate bacteria.
You can also engage in rotating your crops and planting your tomatoes in a different spot every year, only returning to the same spot every four years or so in order to limit your plants' exposure to the same plant debris. Remove weeds from the area you plan to use for planting your tomatoes. Since weeds can harbor the detrimental bacteria, their removal can again limit your plants' exposure.
It is important to make sure your plants have enough exposure to the air in order to prevent bacterial speck. This requires proper staking and spacing between them.
It is also possible to purchase varieties of tomatoes that have been grown to resist the development of bacterial speck and other diseases. Using these varieties will also prevent the spread of bacterial speck.

1 "I made myself accessible to those who didn't ask for me, I let myself be found by those who didn't seek me. I said, 'Here I am! Here I am!' to a nation not called by my name. | 1 "I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name, I said, 'Here am I, here am I.' |
2 I spread out my hands all day long to a rebellious people who live in a way that is not good, who follow their own inclinations; | 2 All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations-- |
3 a people who provoke me to my face all the time, sacrificing in gardens and burning incense on bricks. | 3 a people who continually provoke me to my very face, offering sacrifices in gardens and burning incense on altars of brick; |
4 They sit among the graves and spend the night in caverns; they eat pig meat and their pots hold soup made from disgusting things. | 4 who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of unclean meat; |
5 They say, 'Keep your distance, don't come near me, because I am holier than you.' These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day! | 5 who say, 'Keep away; don't come near me, for I am too sacred for you!' Such people are smoke in my nostrils, a fire that keeps burning all day. |
6 See, it is written before me; I will not be silent until I repay them; I will repay them to the full, | 6 "See, it stands written before me: I will not keep silent but will pay back in full; I will pay it back into their laps-- |
7 your own crimes and those of your ancestors together," says ADONAI. "They offered incense on the mountains and insulted me on the hills. First I will measure out their wages and then repay them in full." | 7 both your sins and the sins of your fathers," says the LORD. "Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains and defied me on the hills, I will measure into their laps the full payment for their former deeds." |
8 Here is what ADONAI says: "As when juice is found in a cluster of grapes, and people say, 'Don't destroy it, there is still some good in it,' so I will do likewise for the sake of my servants, and not destroy them all. | 8 This is what the LORD says: "As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and men say, 'Don't destroy it, there is yet some good in it,' so will I do in behalf of my servants; I will not destroy them all. |
9 I will bring forth descendants from Ya'akov, heirs of my mountains from Y'hudah; my chosen ones will possess them, and my servants will live there. | 9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. |
10 The Sharon will be a pasture for flocks, the Akhor Valley a place for cattle to rest, for my people who have sought me. | 10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me. |
11 "But as for you who abandon ADONAI, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for a Gad, a god of luck, and fill bowls of mixed wine for Meni, a god of destiny | 11 "But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, |
12 I will destine you to the sword, you will all bow down to be slaughtered; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear, but did what was evil from my point of view and chose what did not please me." | 12 I will destine you for the sword, and you will all bend down for the slaughter; for I called but you did not answer, I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me." |
13 Therefore this is what Adonai ELOHIM says: "My servants will eat, while you go hungry; my servants will drink, while you go thirsty. My servants will rejoice, while you will be ashamed. | 13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. |
14 Yes, my servants will sing for joy from their hearts, but you will cry out from the pain in your heart and howl from an anguished spirit. | 14 My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit. |
15 My chosen will use your name as a curse - 'May Adonai ELOHIM strike you dead!' But to his servants he will give another name. | 15 You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse; the Sovereign LORD will put you to death, but to his servants he will give another name. |
16 Thus someone on earth who blesses himself will bless himself by the God of truth, and someone on earth who swears an oath will swear by the God of truth; for past troubles will be forgotten, hidden from my eyes. | 16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes. |
17 "For, look! I create new heavens and a new earth; past things will not be remembered, they will no more come to mind. | 17 "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. |
18 So be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for look! I am making Yerushalayim a joy, and her people a delight. | 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. |
19 I will rejoice in Yerushalayim and take joy in my people. The sound of weeping will no longer be heard in it, no longer the sound of crying. | 19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. |
20 No more will babies die in infancy, no more will an old man die short of his days - he who dies at a hundred will be thought young, and at less than a hundred thought cursed. | 20 "Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed. |
21 They will build houses and live in them, they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. | 21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. |
22 They will not build and others live there, they will not plant and others eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will themselves enjoy the use of what they make. | 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands. |
23 They will not toil in vain or raise children to be destroyed, for they are the seed blessed by ADONAI; and their offspring with them. | 23 They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them. |
24 Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear. | 24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. |
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion eat straw like an ox (but the serpent - its food will be dust). They will not hurt or destroy anywhere on my holy mountain," says ADONAI. | 25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD. |

Better Dig Two - Attitudes Before the Altar Date
Trying this here where monthly posters are 197 compared to 5 in Wedding Room. Should Donna or Jerry transfer to Wedding ....
I can't paste the lyrics from my tablet, so maybe someone else will for us?
The country group The Band Perry's new song is "Better Dig Two". I first heard it on the way to Mass eight days ago. The lyrics seem like a good guide of attitudes on how people might approach seeking a spouse. You can play the song from a Google search.
The song includes something like a girl whose only crutch was loving a man just a little too much - sounds good to me. Perhaps a man should possess the same attitude?
So, besides maybe winning some new people to the good country songs w/ moral lyrics...please add your thoughts to this song's message...or this thread will quickly find its way to Page 2. Thank you CMers seeking a spouse.

I'm getting ready to pay someone to build my deck, and I want to use ipe. Read some positive comments here about ipedepot.com, dating from 2007. Has anyone used them recently, and are they still so highly recommended? I live in NC. Also, a local dealer told me he has a hard time getting ipe (could not find any pre-grooved) and suggested tigerwood. Is that a good idea? What about garapa? I know nothing about any of this; but what I want is a beautiful silvery grey deck like my friend's, with wood from a sustainable source. Thanks for any help! |

This year and about 4 years ago I bought Ipe Decking from Rogers sales on Long Island tel 516-661-0398 they have some Cumaru also - only in a few sizes 1 x 6 and 5/4 x 6 they have Ipe in all sizes. I am in NYC they delivered on their own truck, I guess they ship out of town. They were 30% cheaper than my lumber yard - top notch beautiful lumber/ Speak with Jim [e-mail : firstname.lastname@example.com ] or Jack over there |

Did Sunshine Village knowingly operate its gondola and other facilities with insufficient trained safety staff on January 19, 2011?
The Calgary Herald has exposed a series of letters between Parks Canada and Sunshine Village that express safety concerns regarding the operation of the gondola in January. – Letters reveal testy relations with Sunshine ski resort (June 18, 2011 – Calgary Herald )
According to the Calgary Herald, then Banff Park Superintendent Kevin Van Tighem, wrote a letter to Sunshine Village stating that Sunshine was in breach of its lease for operating when it lacked the trained staff capacity to evacuate the gondola on January 19, 2011.
"Based on my discussion with you and consultation with my staff, I am of the view that on that day there were insufficient qualified staff available to evacuate the gondola in a safe and timely manner in the event of an emergency," Van Tighem wrote in a letter obtained through access to information legislation.
As a decision such as this involves the safety of visitors to Banff National Park, Parks Canada Agency takes it very seriously."
Then, the article states that Ken Derpak, (Sunshine Village VP Operations and GM) responded to Parks Canada with a three-page letter and as a result of what was said in that letter, Parks Canada decided that Sunshine Village had been in compliance all along.
According to Derpak, Sunshine was also in compliance with all gondola safety and evacuation protocols; further, a Banff-based rescue service company was contracted to provide gondola rescue services on a standby basis.
"We have always exercised necessary safety precautions in connection with the operation of the ski lifts and have always had the necessary qualified staff to provide evacuation services for injured persons," Derpak wrote.
Clearly, whatever Derpak stated in his letter was a key factor in Parks Canada's sudden reversal regarding the company's ability to meet minimum public safety requirements on January 19, 2011. Parks Canada would have reasonably relied upon Derpak's comments to be truthful, complete, transparent and placing the safety of public and employees first.
However, Derpak has knowingly breached safety codes in the past and has repeatedly allowed dangerous conditions to exist under his management control. On January 19, 2011 and in the months following, Sunshine Village was in full public relations damage control mode after a large number of ski patrollers failed to turn up for work to highlight safety concerns and in particular Ken Derpak's failure to address those safety concerns in the preceding weeks. Given Derpak's track record on safety and his vested interest in a high profile public safety issue, whatever Derpak said to Parks Canada Superintendent Van Tighem in his letter is worth a much closer look.
Sunshine Village Watch has initiated a Freedom of Information request with Parks Canada to obtain a copy of all the letters between Parks Canada and Sunshine Village on this issue. These documents will provide direct insight regarding the effectiveness of Parks Canada in regulating the public safety responsibilities of private lease operators in Banff National Park. In the meantime here are some facts:
- Any assessment of Sunshine's safety capacity has to be based on the ability cover all of its safety and response functions at the same time. That means managing and responding to all open terrain and facilities, the Sunshine Mountain Lodge, the Daylodge, the Bourgeau base area, kitchens, workshops, staff accommodation buildings and all lifts (including the highly specialized procedure for evacuating the 5km long gondola with potentially hundreds of trapped occupants). Effective public safety is not based on bare minimums but the ability to respond adequately and effectively to reasonably foreseeable incidents. On any given day of normal operation at Sunshine Village this task can produce multiple, concurrent emergency response incidents that can rapidly deplete and tax resources. Even with the reduced terrain on January 19, 2011 – the potential risk exposure was still considerable.
- On January 19, 2011, six (6) ski patrollers were at work when Sunshine Village opened the gondola and three chairlifts to the public.
- Those 6 patrollers were responsible for providing emergency response to hundreds of public and staff including providing first aid treatment, rescue, transportation, lift evacuation and general safety services throughout all the open areas of the resort including the 5km long ski-out as well as managing the open terrain and fulfilling snow-safety (avalanche) assessment functions in areas such as Paris Basin, Headwall and the Wild West which potentially threatens the ski-out.
- In addition to the 6 patrollers, there was one other employee (a ski instructor) who has had some limited training on the gondola evacuation system. It is unknown if he was present that day but at best Sunshine had 7 potential rescuers if the gondola had an incident.
- Under normal ski patrol operating protocols, just one skier injury report immediately requires 2 patrollers to respond. One patroller locates and assesses the patient and one stands-by to bring required equipment. If the injury is serious enough or involves a collision, it will require up to 4 or 5 trained responders. If this was to coincide with a gondola incident 6 patrollers would not be anywhere near enough.
- In the past Sunshine Village has had gondola incidents that involved cabins detaching from the cable and falling to the ground. In one of those incidents on the old gondola the cabin was loaded with people, it fell into Healy Creek and caused significant injuries to the occupants. The ski patrol had to respond to the injured occupants and evacuate the gondola.
- On the old gondola, the lift was divided into two separate sections, each able to operate independently of the other. This meant that only one section would be involved in an incident and that only half the gondola would require an evacuation. When the new gondola was built, Sunshine saved cost by making it all one lift. However, this cost-saving exposes all gondola occupants to being trapped by any incident anywhere along the 5km length of the gondola (including both the up and the down sides) That means that in a gondola incident now, the whole lift (all 5km) needs to be evacuated. This requires a much higher number of trained rescuers.
- To evacuate the gondola the rescuers need to use specialized equipment to actually ride along the cable from cabin to cabin. Each cabin must be checked on both sides (up and down). Occupied cabins require the rescuer to prepare a lowering device and extract the occupants one at a time and lower them to the ground, in some cases this requires lowering multiple persons a distance of hundreds of feet. In some cases the spans of cable are very steep. This is time consuming, very exposed and very tiring and requires repetitive training to do it safely.
- Due to the height and length of the gondola, rescuers are exposed to potentially extreme variances in temperature and wind. Each rescuer is alone on the cable for hours and must be self-sufficient and independently able to resolve any problems including equipment malfunctions, fatigue, cold, errors and the condition of cabin occupants (physical and psychological).
- Rescuers are repeatedly trained and drilled on the procedures for normal spans, steep spans, high spans and removal of incapacitated persons from a cabin (e.g. a patient being transported on a backboard or an occupant who is too frightened to cooperate). All rescuers are also trained on procedures for safely aiding and lowering another rescuer in the event of an injury. This training process is progressive and requires multiple sessions. Persons who do not meet these strict training requirements are not deemed competent or capable of being on the cable during a gondola evacuation.
- A gondola evacuation incident at Sunshine Village is a major emergency management operation that requires massive coordinated logistics and resource allocation. Getting people to the ground is just one part as many of the locations under the gondola line are difficult to access. In the event of an evacuation on January 19, 2011 – one of the senior patrol staff would have had to manage the operation as there was no Mountain Manager hired at the time. Ken Derpak, who was acting Mountain Manager at the time, has had no training in managing a gondola evacuation and would certainly have not had the confidence of the rescue team. This would have been one less trained rescuer available to go out and do the job.
- According to the Herald, Derpak told Parks Canada that Sunshine Village had a contract with a Banff-based rescue service company to provide gondola rescue services on a standby basis. The company in question is owned by Rodney Gair. At the time, Gair and his employees had never been trained even once on the current gondola evacuation system at Sunshine Village. They had not even put on the harnesses. Few, if any of them would have been familiar with the procedures.
- In the weeks following January 19, 2011 Sunshine Village began training Gair's team however this task was assigned to a new internal committee headed up by Donald Beaulieu – Director of Sales and Marketing for Sunshine Village. Mr. Beaulieu has no current competence or knowledge in the gondola evacuation procedures at Sunshine Village. Beaulieu's responsibilities are sales and marketing. Ski Patrol involvement in this training was kept to a minimum and, as a result, vital information and skills were not transferred to Gair's crew.
- It is debatable whether Gair's team can even now meet the competency and training standards normally expected of the ski patrollers. Until they do, they cannot be considered as a back-up resource. Certainly, on January 19, 2011 – they did not meet any standards. Even if they had shown up, it would have taken time to get them to the patrol headquarters at the Village and there would have been no one who had the time to train them on even the most rudimentary aspects of the current equipment.
- Derpak told Parks Canada that Sunshine was in compliance with all gondola safety and evacuation protocols. A primary scheduling consideration for the ski patrol is having sufficient patrollers on the hill to evacuate the gondola. Due to the combined length of the entire 5 km new gondola, the preferred number is 20+. The minimum number is considered to be 15 to 16 which is expected to be problematic in the evnt of a full incident. On January 19, 2011 there were SIX (6) with possibly one other partially trained ski instructor.
- Sunshine Village is not just governed by Parks Canada on this matter. Sunshine must also meet the AN/CSA-Z91-02 (R2008) – Health and Safety Code for Suspended Equipment Operations which is administered in Alberta by the Alberta Elevating Devices & Amusement Rides Safety Association (AEDARSA). AEDARSA also investigated Sunshine`s operations on January 19, 2011 and took no action after meeting with Derpak.
- Parks Canada and AEDARSA both seem to have concluded that only six patrollers were enough to meet all public and workplace safety functions at Sunshine Village on January 19, 2011 as well as evacuate the 5km gondola. However none of them have undertaken an in-depth assessment of what those functions actually require in terms of trained and competent personnel. The standards and requirements are well documented and evidenced by decades of past practice. On January 19, 2011 those standards and requirements were not followed.
"As a decision such as this involves the safety of visitors to Banff National Park, Parks Canada Agency takes it very seriously." ~ Kevin Van Tighem, former superintendent of the Banff field unit for Parks Canada.
The question that has to be asked is whether the government agencies that are charged with setting and enforcing public safety standards can actually be counted on and trusted by the public to properly do their job.


text: While for many the main draw to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival may be the incredible daily lineup of live music, for many others, the food selection reigns king. This is for good reason too—Jazz Fests vendors pull out all the stops, including local restaurants and caterers, some of whom prepare and serve their food for Jazz Fest exclusively out of the entire year. The offerings are wide-ranging, absolutely delicious and are a proud showcase of the food that represents the city.This year there are nine areas of the festival where you'll find food and drinks—as well as mini stations throughout the grounds—to keep you going throughout your long day at the Fest. Spread out throughout the fest, you can hardly turn around without having these vendor stands in eyeshot, though a few areas are more prominent and varied than others. Food Area I, near the center of the map just passed the race track, and Food Area II, on the left side of the festival grounds in the center of the track, are by far the largest collection of food booths, where you'll find the majority of your Fest dining options.

Foodservice is a rapidly growing sector of the avocado industry, and for good reason. Restaurant operators have come up with a wealth of ways to use avocados, said Bruce Dowhan, general manager of Escondido, Calif.-based Giumarra Agricom International LLC.
Not that long ago, just about the only place you'd see avocados in restaurants was in guacamole. Today, you're just as likely to see the fruit in salads, pizzas and on sandwiches, he said.
Not even at the height of the recession, when consumers were more frequently eating at home and less often at restaurants, did Steve Taft, president and chief executive officer of Eco-Farms Corp., Temecula, Calif., see a drop in foodservice business.
Taft said his customers typically use avocados in sandwiches as well as in guacamole.
Brandon Gritters, avocado salesman for Interfresh Inc., Fullerton, Calif., said foodservice sales were consistent for Interfresh during the recession.
Rob Wedin, vice president of fresh sales and marketing for Calavo Growers Inc., Santa Paula, Calif., said Calavo had "very strong sales" in the foodservice category throughout the recession.
"Avocados had a big year at foodservice last year," he said, with lots of promotions and myriad restaurants jumping on the avocado bandwagon with Mexican items, sandwiches and even sushi.
Even with a price spike resulting from a drop in supply last year, demand remained strong, he said.
Sandwich sales
The sandwich category especially has sparked a boost in avocado sales as restaurant chains including Beaumont, Texas-based Jason's Deli and Milford, Conn.-based Subway advertise avocados on their sandwiches, he said.
Foodservice business accounts for "a sizable amount" but not the lion's share of the business for Mission Produce Inc., Oxnard, Calif., said Ross Wileman, vice president of sales and marketing.
Most of the company's foodservice business is with traditional Mexican-style restaurants, he said, where chefs put the fruit on sandwiches and in salads as well as in guacamole.
But the company also has seen a sales boost among mainstream sandwich-type restaurants, such as Subway and St. Louis-based Panera Bread.
Avocados actually may have benefited during the recession, he said, as many consumers downsized their dining-out budget and patronized restaurants such as Denver-based Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. that tend to feature avocados on their menus.
Dana Thomas, president of Index Fresh Inc., Bloomington, Calif., is excited about foodservice trends he's been seeing.

I have a formal Living Room filled with antique furniture. I bought the most amazing silk and I just want simple panels. I have a total of 4 windows. There are 2 radiators, but only one should cause a large problem. I have 2 windows together with a radiator under, but each window extends about 6" past each side of the radiator - I figured fixed panels would be fine. My problem is on the other wall there is 1 window on each side of the fireplace. Only 1 window has a very long radiator under it. The radiator extends 12" past each side of the window. I really wanted long panels, I just can't imagine cutting them all short because of the one rad. I could make a window seat to put on the rad and just do that one short. Or else make them extra wide and hang 1 panel sweeping to the side till it finally passes the rad (kind of faking that the windows are wider) and than match it on the other side of the fireplace. Sorry this is so confusing to describe. Any ideas? |

I think your idea to "fake" it over the radiator is going to be your best bet. I've got radiators under almost every window in this house and the only way I can have long drapes is to extend the rods beyond the windows so I do understand your dilema. |
- Posted by fuzzywuzzer (My Page) on Mon, Aug 20, 07 at 11:24
I would keep the panels long and deal with it the best you can. I don't think it's a sin to let the panels hang in front of the rad a little. FW |
we had the same thing in our living and dining rooms when i grew up. all the radiators had cover boxes that looked like window seats-- they were metal but painted to match the walls. my mom had box valances made for the windows that were wide enough to hang all the drapes. in the dining room we had a triple window above a low radiator that was covered as well. we used the radiator for a sideboard. since the windows were so wide mom only had sheers and shades on the windows and fixed panels of drapes on each side with a valance going across the whole thing. are your radiators covered? a cover makes them more 'managable' when you decorate-- the look like benches or side tables. since you are looking for a formal look, using fixed panels on each side of your radiators would make sense-- above the window the rods should have a treatment that ties everything together--lamberquin, valance, swags, etc. balance the radiator on the one side of your fireplace with a side table or bookcase of the same size. diggerb |

Throughout history, man has revered his penis as his "most precious ornament." From small to large, thick to thin, smooth to wrinkled, Hickman lets the history of this mystery hangout for all to see. It is a stiff subject, but we easily settle in with the likes of Bill Clinton, Michelangelo's David, and Shakespeare as they followed their heads. With precious detail given to precious material, if you were to wrap your hands around anything less than two-inches thick, it should be God's Doodle.
What does it mean to live against a wall? In this ambitious first person narrative, Marcello Di Cintio travels to the world's most disputed edges to meet the people who live alongside the razor wire, concrete, and steel and how the structure of the walls has influenced their lives.

An Alice Nestleton Mystery by Lydia Adamson
I found this book at one of my favorite thrift stores and picked it up because of the herb theme in it. Even though it was an easy read, it didn't really seem to be fleshed out enough for me. The secrets that came out weren't developed and left me wondering what was behind it all. The reactions of the characters all seemed to be the same but why? Okay, so part of the story was about dealing with grief of the death of a good friend, but it just didn't seem to flow. The herb (catnip) wasn't talked about much except for a short conversation Alice had with a store owner. As another reviewer said this might just be one of those 'off' books. I'll look for more of her books to see if her other books have a different feel. |

A beautiful, sunny December day in Portland is nothing short of a blessing. And blessed was Tori and Joe's entire winter solstice wedding day. Blessed with love, family, friends, laughs, fun, and beautiful weather. Since she is a teacher and he is a principal, their storybook/school theme was unique, personalized and perfect. The University of Portland is an incredibly gorgeous venue. I loved the collegiate and wintery touches throughout their entire wedding. Tori and Joe are always writing special notes to each other and their wedding day was no exception to their ritual. They exchanged their hand-written cards right before their first look and it was very special. Tori and Joe are two of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. They exude and extend love, support, and gratitude to all. Congratulations Tori and Joe. What an honor it was to capture your pure love and gorgeous wedding!

Ugh, I had no idea that Four O Clocks would be so invasive! Why don't they print that on the packets or in the catalog descriptions I wonder?
Planted them 2 springs ago and now I can't seem to get rid of them. several of them grew underground tubers that took about 12 to 18 inches of digging to uncover. Lots more volunteer seedlings popping up everywhere. Share your own flower invasion stories--maybe it will prevent a disaster or two. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Gladiolas - the bulb that just keeps on giving. Even if you yank it out and toss it, dozens of tiny bulblets will have already formed and drop off. And EACH ONE makes another glad. Ceratostigma - I don't like deciduous groundcovers, although it has lovely blue flowers and blue is a rare/prized thing in my garden. It's got a root system like vinca - virtually impossible to get rid of! Spirea - I yanked it out. Three years later, a tiny piece of root sends up another plant. Gotta respect something that persistent through our drought-tormented summers, so this time I let it stay. When we were first landscaping, I briefly thought about planting strelitzia, the bird of paradise plant - it is xeric and evergreen, and my mom, who was living with us at the time, adored the flowers. But a neighbor's house periodically disappears behind the massive, overwhelming clumps of four BOP shrubs planted in the front. She chops them down, and they come right back up again. I think they actually form the foundation of her house, and she'll never be rid of them. Worst of all: oxalis pes-caprae, aka Bermuda Buttercup. Before I started gardening, I used to think the bright green cloverleaf leaves and nodding yellow spikes of flowers were so pretty. HA! Only when you garden do you discover how pernicious, indestructible, and evil this weed is. Digging out the soil and replacing it didn't work, because it happily migrated in from both my neighbors' yards. The best I can do is keep it from smothering my plants. Nothing like having to weed the same bed four times in three months to make you feel like Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the hill in Hades - and I have 15 separate garden beds..... |
Jkom I hear you on the gladiolas. My mom had a similar infestation a few years back. And they were all her least favorite color--orange. |

I always loved Bermuda Buttercup, and I tried to dig one out once and plant it in my yard. Thanks for posting this, jkom. I planted four-o-clocks once, too. Still picking them out. The most horrifying, though, even worse that horsetails, is the blue dawn flower perennial morning glory that has taken over shrubs next door. It's like kudzu. Renee |
TRUMPET VINE (Campsis radican) - once planted, shoots offspring everywhere, you will be pulling it forever. Wild Strawberry plants - cute for a while, until they take over your flowerbeds like wild fire. |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 ATL (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 11:25
I've not had a problem with 4 Oclocks because I pick off every seed, and only grow a few plants. Gladiolas and the more "plain" crocosmia...oh, my. I've had a time with them. I planted many kinds of glads, in all different colors and they ONLY come up in this peach color I hate. I don't know why I hate it, but I just do. |
- Posted by backyardgrown 7b-8 NW MS (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 11 at 14:48
I have planted some things that are supposed to take over, but they won't. They behave themselves and stay in nice little clumps. The things I don't want in my yard are the only things that volunteer themselves and thrive. |
Virginia waterleaf, Hydrophyllum virginianum. It's a woodland wildflower that is actually endangered in some states, I understand. They can come get all mine, if they like. It reseeds everywhere, makes clumps of rhizomes that colonize an area and won't allow anything to grow thru them. Grr. Invasive native. Damn weed. |
I'm zapping the first signs of Moonflowers and 4 o'clocks in certain areas around the house this year. I'll keep them in othe areas, but they are invasive where they put on a lot of leaves and no flowers because there's not enough sun. I sure want my red 4 o'clocks to do better this year, they are just stunning! |
Thanks for this topic to help all of us in choosing plants. Buttercups are horrible! I've been trying for years to get rid of them. Am on the lookout now for the first sign of any and out it goes. HOLLYHOCKS>>>>worse than horrible. I just wanted a something with a little height to fill a corner, so planted a couple of the new shorter varieties. What a mistake. |
I have houttuynia cordata the chameleon plant. The worst thing I have ever had and can not kill it! Please don't try it! Ellen |
- Posted by wonbyherwits z7b NC (My Page) on Fri, Mar 25, 11 at 19:15
I now plant 4 o'clocks only where there is a lot of space -- out in the deer resistant garden. I learned my lesson when I found tubers the size of big sweet potatoes! Off topic -- I planted seeds in February in spots where voles started digging tunnels. I don't know if they like 4 o'clocks, but they sure ate ALL of my Dutch iris bulbs and the roots off many echinacea. :-( Flowers that won't leave unless you get rid of the seeds and dig out the tap roots (that I'm sure go to the center of the earth): bronze fennel and baptisia. Cameron |
"The things I don't want in my yard are the only things that volunteer themselves and thrive." And grass! I once thought about writing a book titled "Only the grass grows in my flower beds". Ha! I thought I might include all of my gardening misadventures in the book but alas, I decided it would be too depressing. MeMo |
