How to open an East Bay restaurant in boom time
By Kim Westerman /Bay Area Bites
How many times do we go to restaurants each month—or week—and fail to really comprehend the physical process of pulling together all the elements that a restaurant requires, from permitting to plumbing, to every hoop jumped in between?
I tend to notice aesthetically pleasing design, but don't go much beyond my hedonistic pleasure in identifying its lineage. My encounter with Travis Wirt, owner of Black Creek Builders, changed all that. Or rather, I should say, my encounter with many compelling Oakland restaurant spaces that Wirt has had his hand in made me aware of the process in a way I hadn't considered before. … Continue reading »
Fivetenburger owner opens Handlebar in Berkeley
Fans of food truck favorite Fivetenburger rejoice: mustachioed restauranteur Roland Robles' new project Handlebar opened last night at 984 University Ave., between 9th and 10th streets, in West Berkeley.
Robles, who is the owner and head chef of Fivetenburger, opened the restaurant, which is licensed as a full bar, with his partner Jennifer Seidman. Seidman owns Acme Bar & Company at 2115 San Pablo Ave, a half mile away.
"We want it to feel like a bar," said Robles. "We want you to have a good time here." … Continue reading »

Food trucks expand to bricks and mortar
Anyone who has had even a bite of a Fiveten Burger knows that Roland Robles, the proprietor and chef, knows more than a thing or two about slinging beef. His cheeseburgers are cooked to order and made with a signature blend of meat ground daily. There are at least three cheese options for melting over the hot patty (usually more), as well as a well-balanced array of toppings stacked together on a North Beach Baking Company bun. An overflowing basket of truffle tater tots sets the meal over-the-top — in a hot, crispy, and salty good way. But this is no fancy restaurant burger. Instead, Robles' burgers are handed to customers through the window of a food truck.
Robles is banking on his many fans sticking with his burgers when he opens his first brick-and-mortar burger joint this year. The restaurant will be called Handlebar and is slated to open some time in the spring. While the location is still up in the air, the overarching plan is not. "The vibe we intend is a comfortable spot where you can just drop in and have some grub you'll dig and a cold beverage of your preference. … Pretty much everybody likes a cold beer and a made to order burger," he said. … Continue reading »

SEA SALT Haig and Cindy Krikorian's K2 Restaurant Group has sold Sea Salt, the Berkeley seafood restaurant on San Pablo Avenue, on the heels of its September divestment of T-Rex Barbeque. (K2 also owns Lalime, Jimmy Beans, Paisan and Fonda.) Sea Salt's new owner is Sung Su Han, according to Inside Scoop which reported that the pair wants to downsize. Sea Salt will keep its name and menu through December, when it will close for about a week, then reopen as Eat. Chef Quyen Vu will stay on board, but will change to a small-plates format, according to Diablo. The adjacent dining room will be transformed into a lounge in the next six to eight months, after which it will become Eat + Lounge. The Krikorians will stay involved as outside consultants. Sea Salt, 2512 San Pablo Ave., 510-883-1720. … Continue reading »

VICTORY BURGER Last week, we gave notice that Victory Burger, a new venture in north Oakland from the folks behind Actual Café, was about to open. Well, the first official day of business was Friday. In addition to the burgers, hand-cut fries and shakes on the menu, there's also roasted chicken banh mi and both pork and gluten-free veggie arepas (a cornmeal South American street food). There are also several interesting "add-ons" for both the burgers and fries that sound pretty delicious: Avocado Mayo, Chicken Skin Mayo (wait, what?), and Bacon Gravy. Victory Burger, 1099 Alcatraz Ave., Oakland.
INNA JAM INNA Jam, the artisanal preserve company started by former freelance commercial video editor Dafna Kory in Berkeley, moved into a new commercial kitchen in Emeryville at the beginning of the summer, and has been busy processing a big crop of berries and stone fruit since then. Kory also recently opened an INNA Jam store — really just a shelf in the corner of the kitchen. It's stacked with jars of every jam they make, many of which are not available in retail stores or online. Regular hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdys from 2–5 p.m. (and by appointment). INNA Jam, 1307 61st St., Emeryville, 510-214-6620. … Continue reading »

text: CharismEach religious community has a charism, which is a purpose, mission and spirit inspired by the community's founder. For example, a religious order might exist to serve the poor in a spirit of humility. Others may not exist for a specific ministry, but to share a certain spirit of the gospel or a characteristic of Jesus. Consecrated LifeConsecrated life is the general term given to men and women in the Church who profess vows and live in a religious community or order. Since the Second Vatican Council, consecrated life has grown to include lay people who follow certain spiritual ways of living based on the Gospel; these are traditionally called secular institutes. DiscernmentDiscernment is the process of discovering one's vocation – whether God is calling a person to religious life, marriage, priesthood, the single life, or another ministry. FormationThe process whereby a man or woman learns the customs, traditions, prayers and history of the vocation he or she is embracing. MinistryIn general, Church service/work and ministry are synonymous. A ministry is some work offered to serve God and God's people. NoviceA man or woman who is in the initial stages of formation in a religious community is called a novice. This stage is the novitiate and usually takes one to two years. Religious LifeBrothers, sisters, and religious priests who embrace the spirituality, teachings and customs of their community belong to the category of baptized people called "religious life." Members of these communities take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They usually live together in groups, share their possessions, and pray together. Religious Community or OrderMen and women who profess vows and live as priests, brothers, or sisters comprise a religious community or order. Usually begun by a founder or a group of founders, religious orders offer a specific work/ministry or seek to spread a certain spirit of the Gospel or the life of Jesus. This is called a charism. Generally, orders are contemplative – committed solely to prayer – or apostolic – committed to ministry and prayer. SisterA sister belongs to a religious community of women. She professes the vows and serves God according to the charism of her community. A sister is not married and works in many different jobs, according to the needs of the Church, the religious community, and society. A nun is a religious sister in a contemplative religious community. VocationFrom the Latin word meaning, "call," vocation refers to the specific way that a person will be the most loving man or woman possible. As the first vocation is to be a loving human, the first question in discerning a vocation is: "What life will make me love best?" Since discernment is ongoing throughout life, other questions remain, such as, "Which ministry needs my talents and gifts?" or "What charism is best for my personality?" Vocation DirectorWorking for a diocese or for a religious community, a vocation director is someone who ministry is to help others discern their vocation. A vocation director needs to be skilled in prayer, listening, and directing people's interest, talents, and passions. If someone is considering a religious vocation, it is best to consult with a vocation director to discuss a method or plan of discernment. VowsFormal and public promises to God of poverty, celibate chastity, and obedience made by a member of a religious community are called vows. Poverty means that each member shares all things in common; the community takes care of his or her needs. Chastity means that a person promises not to get married or have sexual relations. Obedience means searching for and seeking to accomplish God's will in the context of Scripture, the Church, and the community. A diocesan or secular priest does not make public vows to God. He makes promises, to his bishop, of celibacy and obedience For more information, you might find the following books and websites to be helpful. Becoming Who You Are by James Martin, SJ.

It is too nasty to grow big for fruit, but it makes a pretty tree with thick leaves. Anybody want to give me a Grumichama (Eugenia brasiliensis), Cherry of the Rio Grande (Eugenia aggregata), Luma apiculata, Myrtus Ugni (myrtleberry), or Pitomba (Eugenia luschnathiana)?
I also have some purple Orchid Tree seedlings coming up, and no end of live oak ones. Give me a buzzzzz. If you are in the New Orleans area, so much better because I won't have to ship. |

The official blog of the Jordan Brand Classic
What a week in the UK! We had such a great group of players, coaches and staff during the event and it is hard to believe it's already over.
I just thought it would be fun to blog live during the all-star game of the action for all of the fans following us.
I have really been looking forward to the last day of camp to see which players have the heart to work through all of the pain and exhaustion from the weekend to perform at the highest level.
It is almost 2 am and I am just getting back to my hotel from the triple-overtime NBA game in London that the New Jersey Nets won by 1 over the Toronto Raptors. |
It was definitely an early morning today. After getting back to the hotel late last night from the evening session, the buses rolled out of the hotel at 7:45 am this morning.
My favorite part of these camps is meeting basketball people from all over the world. We are very lucky to have Steve Bucknall as one of our local U.K. coaches this week.
What a great session tonight. The buzz among the coaches is the level of talent with these 40 players. |
We did a brief walk-through of the Surrey Sports Park this morning in preparation of the first session tonight. This is going to be a great year for the Jordan Brand Classic International Tour. |
Our coaching staff all arrived today and we finished getting the product ready for the players. We have included a special preview for you.
After a day and a half of work at the hotel, we finally made it out to central London to see the sights. |
It's an early morning here in London. Wide-awake at 6 am after a fantastic sleep. It's overcast and very cold once again. I got up and made my way down to the hotel gym this morning to make sure I keep my body on track with the time difference. |
The first day in England is coming to a close. I have been awake for all but about two hours since leaving home on Monday morning -- hopefully will adjust to the new time zone by morning.
We landed safely at London Heathrow Airport at about 9:00 am local time (or 2 am my "regular" time). It was so great to finally arrive after a long day/night on airplanes. |
It is "Day One" of my 2011 Jordan Brand Classic International Tour blog. I can't believe that it is already my fourth annual trip with Jordan Brand to Europe. This is one of the highlights of the year and it is always a great time sharing the experience with everyone. |
The fifth annual Jordan Brand Classic International Tour is traveling to England this year to select 10 players for our International Game as part of the Jordan Brand Classic! Follow along with our blog this week as we take you behind the scenes!

The Milan Area
Erbusco , Italy
Lucky travelers to Italy who arrive in the gorgeous Franciacorta wine region—in the heart of the Lake District, an hour's drive from Milan or Verona—are often headed to the area's main town, Erbusco, in the center of the rolling, wine-soaked hills. Here, they'll unpack at the ivy-clad 19th-century neo-Renaissance villa of L'Albereta, converted into a hotel in 1993. All of the rooms are different—one with a fireplace, another with frescoes that mimic a pergola—and are scattered among four buildings: the original villa, Casa Leone (once home to the resident farmer), Contadi Castaldi, and the newer Torre del Lago, which also houses the award-winning Henri Chenot Espace Vitalité spa. The view from some private balconies stretches from the property's magnolia and pine trees, vineyards, and modern sculptures north to nearby Lake Iseo. For those seeking solitude, these shores are far less trammeled than the waterfronts of the larger, more famous lakes of Garda and Como (both less than an hour's drive away).
Room to Book:
Sofia Loren once stayed for a month in the main villa's Suite Bellavista with its sweeping views, two marble-clad bathrooms, period furnishings—and plenty of closet space for her 40 pairs of traveling shoes.
Insider Tip:
Don't miss a meal in the hotel restaurant, run by Gualtiero Marchesi, considered the founder of modern Italian cuisine. (His previous restaurant, in Milan, was Italy's first to receive three Michelin stars.) The dishes are literal works of art, often inspired by Pollock or Rothko.

In every university, there is code of practice or policy for graduate research student which contained in the student handbook. Every student will be given this handbook during their registration at the university. Part of this policy was designed to protect the student's interest and welfare by stating the responsibility of the student, supervisor, school and effective ways of supervision. The question is how far this policy has been practiced and implemented effectively? Hence, there were 40 graduate research student policies have been studied from 40 universities in the United Kingdom. There were also 110 foreign graduate students had involved in order to obtain the information needed. It was found in the research that 74% of the respondents had agreed that the policy is very helpful and worked. This paper will identify the most effective ways in practicing this policy towards the effectiveness in graduate research student supervision.

When I first saw the poster for the movie The Other Boleyn Girl with Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Eric Bana, and Jim Sturgess, I thought, Wow. That necklace looks really familiar. And that it came to me — it's Ugly Betty's necklace! But upon further research, I learned that the necklace worn by Ugly Betty (and now Natalie Portman's character, Anne Boleyn), is in fact a replica of a necklace worn by the real Anne Boleyn way back in the day. Get your own at Parrish Relics.

[975] Evaluation of Novel ERG/SPINK1 IHC and 4-Color Quantum-Dot Based ERG/PTEN FISH in Radical Prostatectomy Specimens
Kyung Park, Nallasivam Palanisamy, Theresa MacDonald, Javed Siddiqui, Arul M Chinnaiyan, Martin G Sanda, Huihui Ye, Mark A Rubin, Juan Miguel Mosquera. Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Med School, Boston, MA
Background: TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions and SPINK1 overexpression have been reported in approximately 50% and 10% of prostate cancer (PCa). We investigated tissue extent of both biomarkers in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens using novel dual ERG/SPINK1 IHC and 4-color quantum-dot based ERG/PTEN FISH. The study was conducted with tissue from patients enrolled in the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN), a well-characterized clinical cohort suitable for further validation studies.
Design: 236 H&E slides corresponding to different areas of 101 dominant and 122 secondary tumor nodule(s) from 101 RP specimens were reviewed. ERG/SPINK1 IHC and ERG/PTEN FISH were performed on Discovery and Benchmark XT platforms (Ventana). Semi-quantitative evaluation of nuclear ERG and cytoplasmic SPINK1 expression was performed: >20% staining extent and 2-3 intensity (scale 0 to 3) was considered positive. ERG (break-apart assay; red-5' and green-3') and PTEN (orange-PTEN; yellow-Centromere 10) signals were automatically deconvolved using an interferometer, and each gene status was determined using spectral imaging software.
Results: 24/101 cases had one dominant tumor nodule only, 31/101 had one dominant and one secondary nodule, and 46/101 had one dominant and two secondary nodules. By IHC, 59/101 (58%) RP cases demonstrated at least one ERG-positive tumor nodule, and 8/101 (8%) cases showed at least one SPINK1-positive tumor.
Nuclear ERG staining was always strong-diffuse, and cytoplasmic SPINK1 staining was strong-focal. ERG and SPINK1 expression was mutually exclusive in all cases. 34/101 (34%) RP specimens demonstrated neither ERG nor SPINK1 expression. By FISH, ERG rearrangement was observed in 98% of ERG positive tumors by IHC, approximately 30% of which demonstrated ERG translocation through deletion. Homozygous and hemizygous PTEN deletions were observed in both ERG-rearranged and non-rearranged tumors. However, PTEN deletions were not observed in SPINK1-positive cases.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study designed to validate the feasibility of multiplex biomarker tissue-assays on all distinct tumor nodules in RP specimens from a clinical cohort. We demonstrate that both ERG/SPINK1 IHC and 4-color quantum-dot based FISH assays show sensitive and specific detection of dual protein expression and multiple gene rearrangements, respectively. Further studies to validate clinical correlation of these assays are ongoing.

In and of itself, Rock Band: The Beatles signifies a major victory for MTV Games and Harmonix, considering the Fab Four's infamous recalcitrance toward distributing its heralded catalog through digital mediums. It doesn't end there, though, as Dhani Harrison--son of the late Beatles guitarist George Harrison--has revealed to Billboard that the game will also include previously unreleased material.
According to Harrison, Rock Band: The Beatles will feature a selection of songs that "has never been heard, never been released." Unfortunately, Harrison the younger was not authorized to go into further detail on what the unreleased material entails. However, he did go on to say that the game will be "totally, historically accurate," saying the game and the deal that ushered it in have been in development for the past two years.
Rock Band: The Beatles is expected to arrive on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii on September 9. MTV Games plans on offering it as a $59.99 stand-alone purchase or as part of a $249.99 full-band bundle, equipped with an all-new drum set, guitar, and microphone modeled after the Beatles' own instruments. Stand-alone guitars will be priced at $99.99 each. For more information, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of Rock Band: The Beatles.

Chevy TrailBlazer Climate Control Questions
Son jumped another car,using mom's 2003 Chevy Trailblazer, blew a 125 amp fuse under hood to fuse block, replaced fuse,everything appears to work except the A/C blows only to the floor and not out the main dash vents,have check fuses, swapped around other like relays. I know its probaly simple fixs, but i cant find it. Thanks.
garyfirst Posts: 1About a two weeks ago my heater control for the fan will only work on no.4 and 5. An i have a engine noise that gets louder everytime i get hit the gas. I've ruled out the alternater and i took the surpintine belt off an start it. It's quite like it should be. I've been driving it for a year and three months.
tomcincy Posts: 5I've just recently experienced the same problem except mine started with no. 1 and 2 going out followed by 3 and 4 a few weeks later. I'm now left with 5 or nothing. The same thing has happened with my sister's Grand Prix of the same year which leads me to believe that there is a defect in the control and it's not an isolated occurance, have you learned anything more?
I've also had problems with a "sqeak" somewhere in the suspension and both of my rear speakers stopped working at the same time. -
ejurik Posts: 2Hi guys. I have trailblazer 04 (purchased new). First 2 years and 50,000 miles - now problem. After that:

I managed to stop and after few atempt started again and get lackily get home with constant power jump and few stoling. Went to dealer twice: first they replaced crank shaft actuator $550, next day(car stoling again)they replaced o2 sensor=$150! After that no more stoling but: 1 week later while changing the speed of the ac/heating fan it stop working and the same moment hapen foloving: ABS light-on;brake light-on;4WD light-on; cruise control not working; ilumination of driver door butons not working; unable to change the direction of air blow. NOW - after 10 -20 minutes of driving everything goes to normal until i stop and restart the car!!!???

bqueb Posts: 1I have never had any problems with my 2002 Trailblazer LTZ until now. All of a sudden, the External Temperature reading fluctuates. It usually starts and stays on 50 degrees, and then sometimes eventually gets up to correct temp, then may go back to 50, and so on. This morning, it started off correctly, then all of a sudden, went to 17 degrees, which caused the heater to turn on, since thermostat set to 72.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what did you find out, and how much did it cost to correct? -

mtt2002 Posts: 2I have a 2002 Trailblazer that the heat only works on the passenger side. No matter where the driver temperature lever is set, the heat blows cold on the driver side. I am told the left heat sensor need replaced. My question is: Where is the left heat sensor located and how do you replace it?
Thanks -
mtt2002 Posts: 2Reference my post: Trailblazer heat blows cold on the driver side.
Now the dealer is telling me the heater control module needs replaced. To do so he claims the dash and steering column need to be removed which is why they want $600 to do the job. Does this sound right? It seems you should be able to pull the part of the dash that surrounds the radio, climate control, and instrument cluster without the steering column. I assume the heater control module is located behind the climate control levers. Is that correct?
Thanks -
ticadoo Posts: 40Thanks for the info. Mechanic supposedly replaced modulator; then realized the "acuator" (not sure of spelling) was bad, which was thought to have caused the modulator to go bad. After replacement of both, I still only get cold air out of passenger side. Do you think the "magic charm" was the WD40?
moe81854 Posts: 3were is the acuator located and the heat sensors on a 2003 trailblazer ext 4x4 located i put in a new control module and it still doesnt come on till temp gauage is 150 or higher some times and if i shut the truck off and turn it back on it still doesnt come on i thought the fan motor should come on when you put defroster on can any buddy help me
ticadoo Posts: 40I had modulator, accuator and some heat fan thing (behind dash) replaced on my 2003 Trailblazer due to heat coming out of drivers vents, but only cold air out of others. I now have heat, but it does not blow like it is supposed to. Now, my A/C doesn't work nor does the rear heat or A/C work. Is there any end to these problems?
lrs1018 Posts: 2Having problems with a/c vent control on 2003 Trailblazer. Back vents work fine, nothing in front but a little out of leg area. I see quite a few have same problems. Where is modulator located and how do you get to vent flappers to put WD40 on them? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
jerrcrib Posts: 21control modulator is where you turn on your a/c and heat,middle front, you then have actuators for each vent flapper,I would say it is the main control modulator. To spray wd40 into flapper vents go up under dash at glove box, glove box snaps right out, spray up into left side toward steering wheel,turn air off and on and different settings. good lucl jerry, ps try the wd 40 first

Adam Afriyie Speech: "If I Were Prime Minister…"
Cereal choker Adam Afriyie might be insisting "there is nothing to see here", but the man who would be king wasn't always so keen on Dave. Last year he opened the Conservative Renewal Conference in Windsor, seen at the time very much as a "rebel Tory party conference". Afriyie had some interesting things to say in his speech:
"If I were Europe Minister, I'd want to know how to regain control of our borders and secure our criminal justice system. If I were Chancellor, I'd be concerned about removing the age-old obstacles to growth. I'd want to release our risk-takers and wealth creators to generate the jobs and economic growth the country so desperately needs. If I were Party Chairman, I'd be concerned about the support base of my Party. I'd want to ensure that the policies adopted had been endorsed by the Party. And I'd want my Party to be motivated and ready to campaign, wholeheartedly, at the next election. And if I were Prime Minister, I'd want to be in tune with my Party and I'd want the right ideas for the country on Europe, taxation and the economy."
Invites have gone out for this year's even more ambitious conference. Organisers insist "this conference is not about attacking the leadership unnecessarily; it is about providing Conservative solutions to the problems this country and the world faces and being a constructive and friendly critic of the leadership". Of course it is Adam…

First off, I have a bunch of "miniature" rose plants at the front of my house...the reason I quoted it, is that they were supposedly miniature, but are more like minifloras. I spaced them appropriately, but they have grossly overgrown the size they were supposed to be, and some are now not getting enough sun and are stunting (due to others over-growing them).
Anyway, last winter I had planned on moving them once they went dormant. The only problem is that they didn't (and it snowed 3 times last winter and it was unseasonably cold last year). I again want to try to move them this coming winter, but I am planning on doing quite a few cuttings now...just to be on the safe side in the event I lose one or more of the ones I am going to move. I have a feeling that last year they didn't go into complete dormancy because is that the wall to the house is deep maroon brick, and it gets considerable afternoon sun, creating a warmer micro-climate than the ambient air temps (at least for the soil). Am I wrong in thinking that this might be a perfect place to place my cuttings? They will get direct light, but it will be considerably cooler than, say, in the summer. I will place them under clear cups and can cover them during hard freezes. Note: I live in eastern middle Georgia. Thanks for any advice! (and sorry for the long post) |

If the soil doesn't freeze in that area I'd say it should work. I have a wall where the soil never quite freezes and I've done it here once. |

Jun 1st 2011 7:12PM "But the fact that the tax still exists, effective or otherwise, is what irks me"
The tax does not exist, period. If you played in BC, maybe you heard the term thrown around back then. "Jack of all trades, master of none" was the old philosophy. Versatility comes at the cost of diminished effectiveness. I'm guessing their original thought was, if a hybrid class can fill any role AND do it as well as a pure class, who would want to play a pure class?
The vanilla implementation of the hybrid classes was less than thrilling. They ended up as niche roles at best and completely un-viable at worst. BC improved on this, making most hybrid specs viable, even desirable for certain situations ie pally tanks for AoE and shadow priests as mana batteries, but hybrid DPS numbers were still intentionally lower.
WOTLK marked the end of the hybrid tax and the start of the new philosophy that has been continued in Cata: "Bring the player, not the class." You still have hybrid classes, ie can play more than one role, but there is no hybrid tax anymore. Their goal is for all specs to be viable and competitive. As an elemental shaman, you are not being punished with intentionally lower DPS, just because you have heals in your spellbook. Any QQ you have about your class can be attributed to your need to improve or the imperfect nature of class balancing and not Blizzard's desire to punish you for having meager heals at your disposal.

Forest Management & Stewardship

Forest management by the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) provides sound forestry recommendations and implementation assistance to private landowners, communities and cooperating agencies in order to improve forest amenities such as tree health, wildlife habitat, soil and water conservation, forest products and recreational opportunities. We accomplish this through a variety of forest management services and through the CSFS seedling tree program. The Colorado State Forest Service also is a sponsor of the Forest Stewardship Program, a national effort at forest planning and recognition for forest landowners.
Colorado Forest Legacy
Development of the Colorado's forested areas poses an increasing threat to maintaining the integrity of our state's valuable forest lands. Intact forest lands supply timber products, enhance wildlife habitat, protect soils and watersheds, enhance aesthetics and provide recreational opportunities. However, as these valuable areas are fragmented and disappear, so do the benefits they provide. While local governments often guide development away from the most sensitive areas through traditional land use controls (e.g., zoning and performance standards), these measures sometimes are not sufficient to fully protect our forests.
The Forest Legacy Program (FLP), a federally-funded and state-administered program, supports efforts to protect private forest lands that are environmentally, economically and socially critical. Designed to encourage the protection of privately-owned forest lands, FLP is an entirely voluntary program. To achieve maximum public benefits, the program focuses on the acquisition of partial interests in privately-owned forest lands (conservation easements). FLP helps the states develop and carry out their forest conservation plans by encouraging and supporting the acquisition of conservation easements (legally binding agreements transferring a negotiated set of property rights from one party to another) without removing the property from private ownership. Most FLP conservation easements restrict development, require sustainable forestry practices and protect other values.
Tree Farm Program
CSFS is a co-sponsor of the American Tree Farm System, a national program which encourages private forest owners to effectively grow trees as a crop by sharing information and through recognition. Certified Tree Farmers receive a Tree Farm certificate, sign, regular mailings of the American Tree Farmer magazine (from the American Forest Foundation) and tree farm newsletters from their own state tree farm committee.
CSFS Seedling Tree Program
Availability of Nursery-grown Seedling Trees
Our seedling tree nursery, located in Ft. Collins, grows more than 2 million seedlings each year. These trees are available at nominal cost to rural landowners who own at least two acres of land. The aim of our seedling tree program is to encourage landowners to plant effective wind barriers to protect buildings, cropland, and feedlots, and to assist in erosion control, wildlife habitat (175 KB PDF), reforestation and Christmas tree plantations. Participating landowners must agree not to use the trees for ornamental or landscaping purposes nor resell the trees as living plants. Contact your local nursery for ornamental needs.
Seedling tree order forms are available through our seedling tree cooperators (usually your local Colorado State University Extension or Soil Conservation District, or through our office or the state nursery. More than 50 species of trees and shrubs are available in bundles of 50 (bare root) or lots of 30 (potted). A variety of deciduous and coniferous species are available beginning in late October; the best selection is assured by ordering before mid-January. Trees are delivered to a central distribution point in the spring; you will be notified of the exact pickup date and location after your order is placed.
The 28-page full color Buyer's Guide (1.8 MB PDF) is now available online.
For more information, see the Montrose District Seedling Tree Program web page.
Tree Planting Assistance
The Montrose District is available for on-site tree planting assistance. This ranges from the design and planning of large-scale plantings to the actual installation of windbreaks, wildlife habitat or reforestation projects. We have several tree planting implements available for rent, including tree planting plows and a special fabric implement that lays down weed barrier fabric and covers the edges in one operation.
Forest Inventory and Analysis
The Montrose District houses one of seven foresters whose main focus is to collect data for Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA). The Interior West Inventory and Analysis Project conducts multi-resource inventories in the Interior West States of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
The mission of FIA is to improve the understanding and management of our nation's forests by measuring, assessing and reporting on the extent, condition and health of the forestland of the Interior West on a continuous, annual basis.
For more information, contact Casey Harrison.
Forest Management Assistance through CSFS
Forest Management and Timber Harvest Plans
Good management begins with a sound management plan designed to meet a landowner's needs. A management plan will identify the landowners' objectives for their property, describe the resources present and recommend specific practices needed to attain these objectives. The plan involves an in-depth inventory of the timber as well as the other resources on the property such as range and/or wildlife. When writing a management plan, we often consult with other natural resource professionals from, for example, the Natural Resources Conservation Service or the Colorado Division of Wildlife, for their expertise so that the plan is as interdisciplinary as possible.
CSFS also is the primary review agency for county planning departments that require logging logging plans as part of a land use application.
Timber Cruising/Mapping
Timber cruising is the process of determining the amount (in cubic feet, board feet or weight) of timber on a given unit (usually acres) of land. Accepted statistical sampling procedures must be used and the accuracy of the "cruise" must be calculated in order to be valid. A qualified professional forester with no financial interest in the sale of your timber should conduct your timber cruise. Sometimes, a landowner may be interested in simply cruising or mapping a particular property or timber stand to determine possible sale potential or value. The CSFS has developed a spreadsheet and stand-alone DOS executable programs for volume determination of all commercial timber species in Colorado. In addition, we incorporate the latest GPS, CADD and GIS capabilities into our mapping of your forested property.
Insect and Disease Surveys
The CSFS is available to assess your forested lands for insect and disease occurrence and to make recommendations for control where needed. This service is provided as part of any management plan, and also is available to individual lot owners or homeowner associations concerned with specific pests (e.g., Ips engraver beetle, mountain pine beetle, western cedar bark beetles (62 KB PDF), or spruce budworm. A diagnostic lab available is available through Colorado State University that can further study samples.
Learn more about Insects and Diseases in Colorado
Timber Sale Preparation/Administration
A wise seller will know the amount and value of any commodity for sale; this is especially true when selling timber. We offer commercial timber sale layout, marking, cruising (volume determination) and traversing for acreage calculation. We also can prepare timber sale contracts, and have an extensive bidder's list to assist in offering a sale whether it's a few cords of firewood or several million board feet of sawlogs.
CSFS emphasizes on-the-ground implementation of sound forest management principles. Most of the above services provided through our office require a user fee, which is covered through a standard CSFS service agreement that outlines what we will do for you at what cost.
Forest Agricultural Property Tax
In 1990, the Colorado legislature enacted House Bill 1229, allowing certain forested properties to qualify for agricultural property tax status. A landowner owning at least 40 acres of forested land, and willing to manage the property to produce wood products, is now eligible to receive agricultural tax status without necessarily grazing or farming the land (CRS 39-1-102 - 69 KB PDF). The CSFS is responsible for annually reviewing these properties and making recommendations to county tax assessors regarding "Forest Ag" eligibility.
Cost-share Assistance Programs
Several cost-share programs are available to private landowners.
Learn more about Programs for Homeowner and Landowners
Consultant and Forest Industries Referrals
The Montrose District maintains a directory of forest-based private professionals (72 KB PDF) who are available to assist landowners with their forest management needs. In addition, we assist the production of a Colorado Forest Industries Directory (updated 2004, 368 KB PDF) that lists many of the primary and secondary processors, fuelwood suppliers and logging contractors available to private landowners.

Centenary Park also has an interesting history. The area was first gazetted as reserve for public purposes in 1888. In 1941 the last gazette order in council set aside the area as a reserve for park purposes and named it "Sayers Park" after Robert John Sayers.
... moreFrom the city's very early days, Centenary Park was called "Harvey's Reserve", no doubt because Joseph Harvey, a local butcher built and lived in "Tower Villa", an old Queenslander style home that still faces out over the north east corner of the Reserve. During 1972 the Park was re-named "Centenary Oval" as part of the city's centenary celebrations. The 1941 naming had mostly been forgotten by this time, although "Harvey's Reserve" is still the name used by older cricketers.

I have never seen a hotel do more for their customers than this one. Granted, there is a chain of 7 Rising Dragon Hotels in Hanoi, but this one took the cake. From helping explain and book my cruise to Halong Bay to guided walking maps to souvenir buying tips to airport shuttles, this hotel did it all. What really sold me was, after checking out and returning from Halong Bay, I had cut my foot. The hotel staff drove me to and from the pharmacy and helped dress my wound. AMAZING! The rooms too!

Health Surveillance and Disease Prevention and Control / Chronic Diseases / CNCD Surveillance
STEPwise Approach to Stroke Surveillance (STEPS Stroke) |
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world and one of the top ten causes of death and disability in the Americas. The World Health Organization has developed an international stroke surveillance system: the STEPwise Method to Stroke Surveillance (or STEPS Stroke), which forms a framework for standardized surveillance and data collection and analysis. PAHO, as the Regional Office for the Americas, wants to contribute to the adaptation of STEPS Stroke in the Region as an useful tool to improve data collection, prevention, and treatment for stroke, which is why PAHO had the manual translated into Spanish, and Portuguese to complement the original English version produced by WHO. For more information on STEPS Stroke, see the PowerPoint presentation. For the STEPwise method for risk-factor surveillance of chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs), see PanAm Steps. |

What a wonderful May Long Weekend we had here at Painter's Lodge. The sun was shinning and the fish were biting.
We are currently having our annual Spring Fling Derby, every Chinook that are caught are entered into the derby. We have some great prizes. The first prize being a trip for two to the Charlotte Princess, the second prize is a three day getaway to Painters Lodge, and third prize is a three day fishing package to the Canadian Princess in Ucluelet.
As of right now Charles Tolgyessy is the leader in the derby with a 25 pound Chinook. Visit us and try to out fish him!
This weekend was extra special for me as my dad and his friend came here all the way from Quebec. I gave them the full Oak Bay experience. First we went off to the Canadian Princess in Ucluelet. They hooked us up with a great room, we then we had a delicious dinner at the Wickaninnish Restaurant.
When we got back to Painter's they went fishing, and then on the Wildlife Tour, which was a huge success. We saw everything, Dahl porpoises, seals, eagles, Stellar sea lions, harbour porpoises and best of all we saw a black bear! Just when we though it was going to run away, he plopped his bum down and sat and watched us.
To finish off our fun filled, exciting day, we had drinks at the Tyee Pub while relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view. All in all they had a wonderful time and they can't wait to come back next year.
That's all for today. Thanks for checkin' in. Hope your have a wonderful day.

Hi there hoping you can help or direct me to someone who can. I have some Cecil Brunner climbing roses. planted 3 years ago and have been growing like gangbusters since. planted on a northeast facing part of the home since very hot summers here. However in the last few weeks have been noticing leaf drop- leaves yellow with black spots.black spots happen first then leaves yellow and drop. canes covered with black splotches and some with lichenified brown material to them. all canes affected down to the ground- didn't catch it early enough. I live in the mojave desert in california so not very moist. has been no hotter than 97 degrees so far this year- most day have been mild 70-80 degree temps. unseasonably dry this year as well. originally when my plants were thinning i thought it was too dry so i watered and fertilized. then noticed large bites out of leaves- assumed insect(leaf-cutter bee?) so blasted leaves with water- wrong thing to do- i think made it worse. i suspect black spot or anthracosis or cancer or all. attached some pictures to see the devistation. my biggest question is: i know pruning away the diseased parts is necessary but that would cut my bushes down to the ground and likely still would not fix it since the canes are affected down to the bare root. applied neem oil last week. do i need a stronger antifungal or do i just cut them back, rip them out and start over? any help would be appreciated. thanks laura |
Follow-Up Postings:
That LOOKS like downy mildew -- but that would be weird, because it is most-common where conditions are cool/dank. (Which is why I've seen so much of it.) Can you post images of some leaves with the spots? (If you have a flatbed scanner, that will make excellent images of leaves.) |

text: Bob Kane may be best known for creating Batman, but he also gave birth to another caped crusader, a slightly more furry one named Courageous Cat. Along with his trusty sidekick Minute Mouse, the courageous one protected the citizens of Empire City...for one season, at least. But now animation enthusiasts can view all 130 of his televised adventures in A&E's new set Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse: The Complete Series. Sure, villains like Robber Rabbit, Phineus Fox, and Chauncey Frog may not pack quite the same punch as the Joker, Penguin, and Riddler, but there's still plenty of campy fun to be found in these five-minute morsels, starting right with the jazzy, ''Peter Gunn''-y theme song. Also, who needs a utility belt when you have a trusty Catgun (which acts as everything from a giant can opener to a ''cannonball interrupter'')? What keeps this collection from being truly super, however, is an almost complete lack of extras (unless you count such crowd-pleasers as ''interactive menus'' -- score!). Otherwise, it?s close to purrrrrrfect.
