Community Sanitation Overview: |
The community of Naukati Bay estimates a population of about 170 in the summer, and down to as low as 100 in the winter months, with 130 registered voters as of January 2013. The community is located on the west cost of Prince of Wales Island, in Southeast Alaska. The community's school enrolls 20 students, and is a part of the Southeast Island School District REAA. The community was originally settled as a logging camp, then used as a Department of Natural Resources land disposal site. The community now consists primarily of loggers, fishers, and oyster farm employees working locally, as well as residents commuting over 100 miles round trip for work in other communities on Prince of Wales Island, such as with the Southeast Island School District, US Forest Service, National Forest Foundation, Community Connections, Southeast Road Builders, Kewit Construction, and other businesses on the island. Naukati Bay can be accessed by float plane and by old logging roads which are in the process of being converted to state highways. There is a federal dock in the community, which is in the process of being transitioned to state ownership and community management. There is also a pending multi-source grant to convert the small dock facility to a more extensive marina facility. The community is predominantly run by Naukati Bay Inc., which runs the community's marina grants project and owns and operates the Naukati Bay Shellfish Nursery. Electricity is provided to the community by the Alaska Power Company, and the community receives Power Cost Equalization. The state is in the process of connecting the community to hydro-electric power lines from across the island. There is no water utility at present, and most homes and businesses are either on individual water catchment systems, or are self-connected to a local spring and use the spring water untreated. The community has undergone Village Safe Water assessments, and is interested in a decentralized water system, with individual home owners caring for their own water and wastewater systems. The current VSW assessment is aimed at assessing this option, and in particular a system of loaning money through Naukati Bay Inc. to individual low-income residents, at a low interest rate, then turning the money around to other residents as the money becomes available again, in order to develop individual systems throughout the community. A water storage and treatment plant near town, using a store and haul system, has also been considered, but is not felt by the community to be financially feasible or sustainable at this time. Because the community does not yet manage a utility, this assessment will focus on the management of Naukati Bay Inc., and of the Naukati Bay Shellfish Nursery. |
RUBA Status |
Naukati Bay, Inc. had a change in leadership recently and now has a new president. Naukati Bay, Inc. had its vice president attend and complete a recent RUBA Personnel Management class. The vice president is planning to use the training to help complete the sustainable recommendations from the recent RUBA assessment in April 2013. This includes developing a written personnel evaluation process, a written hiring process, and a probationary period process for all employees. This quarter, RUBA staff also attempted to make contact with the new community president and vice president in regards to quarterly reports. Several emails were sent to the president and a voice mail was left for the vice president with no response from either individual. RUBA staff determined that they are compliant with state taxes, and RUBA staff also completed a fuel watch call to the community of Naukati Bay to determine the status of their winter fuel supply. |

Comment: |
Naukati Bay Inc. follows the fiscal year of July 1 through June 30. The community's budget includes the categories of administration, insurance, EMS, fire hall, road maintenance, dock, July 4 celebrations, picnic building, community building, and grader fuel and maintenance, as well as miscellaneous income which mainly consists of donations. Each category is then broken out and detailed in an income/expense report which is provided to the board at each regular monthly meeting. All budget categories for FY13 were in line last quarter; however, attempts to document adoption of a new FY14 budget, and recent financial reports have been unsuccessful, therefore, several essential indicators are marked 'no' until such documentation can be obtained. The shellfish business is broken down in a separate financial document, which is also provided to the board at each regular meeting. Revenues received from grader rentals, Community Revenue Sharing, donations, the oyster business, and a yearly auction have been sufficient in the past to cover all expenses. Monthly manager's reports are also provided by the volunteer managers of each department, accompanying the financial reports. These manager's reports include information about bills, expenses, income, and any other relevant information that comes up over the course of the month. The community receives its fuel from Naukati Connections, a for-profit store within the community. Naukati Connections has its fuel trucked in from Craig by road as needed. |
Capacity Indicator: Accounting Systems | |||
Essential Indicators: | |||
Yes | The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it. |
Yes | The utility bills customers on a regular basis. |
Yes | An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts. |
Yes | An accounts payable system is in place. |
Yes | The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records. |

No | Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts. |
Yes | The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts. |
Comment: |
The community does not at this time have a utility to collect fees; however, it does bill customers of the shellfish company. The community utilizes Quicken to track all finances, and follows a cash accrual method of calculating deposits and expenditures. The community hires a bookkeeper from outside of the community to track the payroll system, though this bookkeeper does not have access to the community's bank account or finances. The community does not accept cash, and requires two signatures on all outgoing checks (there are three approved check signers in the community). All bills are presented to the board at regular meetings and approved for payment before the treasurer pays, usually by check. The purchasing system requires that any purchase under $1,000 receives approval from the board president, and any purchase over $1,000 receives approval from the board. This process is detailed in the policies and procedures manual. The community's treasurer completes bank reconciliations monthly; however, the most recent documentation of bank reconciliations is from April 7, 2013. |
Capacity Indicator: Tax Problems | |||
Essential Indicators: | |||
Yes | The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities. |
No | The utility is current on filing tax reports. |
No | The utility is current on making tax deposits. |
No | If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current. |
Comment: |
The State of Alaska granted tax clearance for Naukati Bay Inc. on August 30, 2013. RUBA staff sent the Authorization to Request Federal Tax Information form to the community twice and has not heard back from the community; therefore, federal tax compliance cannot be determined this quarter. The community hires a bookkeeper to complete all payroll, who also reports back to the community what is due to the IRS and state for taxes. Checks and reports are then completed by the community's treasurer. |

Sustainable Indicators: | |||
Yes | The utility has adopted and uses a Personnel Policy, which has been reviewed by an attorney, AML or Commerce for topics and language. |

No | The utility has adopted and follows a written personnel evaluation process that ties the job description to the evaluation. |
No | The utility has an adequate written hiring process. |
No | The utility has personnel folders on every employee that contain at least: I-9, Job Application and Letter of Acceptance. |
No | The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations. |

Comment: |
Proof of worker's compensation insurance was observed on September 25, 2013. Proof of insurance is posted at the oyster nursery, clearly displayed where all employees work. Naukati Bay Inc. is covered by LM INS Corp. Naukati Bay Inc. has job descriptions signed by all board members, and are currently working on job descriptions for part time seasonal oyster farm employees. The community has a personnel policy including policies regarding travel (advance request and approval required), non-discrimination, meeting conduct, employment agreement, employment application, and mileage records, as well as a few other related documents. All board members and employees are given a binder including all of these documents, and sign board job descriptions agreeing to all provisions. Naukati Bay Inc. encourages its staff and board members to attend trainings through the RUBA program and other opportunities that come up throughout Alaska. There is money set aside in the budget for travel and conferences, as such. The community does not currently have a written personnel evaluation process or job description for employees of the oyster farm, nor a probationary period. Each employee does have a personnel file which includes their job application and employment agreement (the equivalent to a letter of acceptance). However, I-9 forms are not currently being filled out for each employee. |

Comment: |
Naukati Bay, Inc. is the entity which will own and operate the water utility once it is in place. The community currently owns and operates an oyster farm, and has received all of the appropriate business and operating licenses. The policy making body will be the Naukati Bay Inc. Board of Directors, which meets at least monthly and sometimes bi-monthly. The community currently has a volunteer manager and treasurer, both of whom have been in these positions for years and have the assistance of past managers and treasurers when needed. They are encouraged to attend trainings and conferences when available, and there is money in the community's budget for travel and conferences. One board member has attended the RUBA Planning course, and others are requesting to attend further trainings. Upon the building of a community water utility, the board will adopt any and all necessary ordinances, rules, and regulations to give it authority to operate. As it is a non-profit association, Naukati Bay Inc. is not required to comply with the Open Meetings Act. However, board members post in multiple places throughout the community, as well as e-mailing anyone who wishes to receive e-mails reminding them of both regular and special meetings. While the community does not have a formal traditional organizational chart, the board members sign onto job descriptions which clearly delineate chain of command and responsibilities. |
Capacity Indicator: Operation of Utility | |||
Essential Indicators: | |||
Yes | The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification. |
Yes | The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities. |
Sustainable Indicators: | |||
Yes | The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed. |
No | The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings. |
Yes | Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved. |
Yes | The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed. |
Yes | The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis. |
Yes | The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report". |
Yes | The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list. |
Yes | The utility maintains an inventory control list. |
Yes | The utility maintains a critical spare parts list. |
Comment: |
Naukati Bay, Inc. has identified an individual in the community who could serve as a water operator in the event of the water utility being opened. This individual would work toward necessary certification, with the financial support of the community, as there is money available for travel and conferences. Other items such as a preventative maintenance plan would be provided by and through the construction of the facility. The oyster farm manager manages some part time staff, and observes the facility regularly to ensure all necessary processes are completed regularly. The community keeps inventory information for the oyster farm, grader, all equipment, and the water pump for the nursery. They also maintain a critical spare parts list, and all large critical spare parts are contained in a secured Connex container. The community is not currently undertaking safety meetings, though there was interest among many board members in beginning such meetings regularly. |
RUBA Activities for the Coming Quarter: |
RUBA staff will work with Naukati Bay Inc. staff and board to improve those RUBA indicators which the community is not currently meeting. RUBA staff will offer elected officials training if the board members are still interested. Naukati Bay Inc board members are also interested in attending RUBA utility management courses, when available. |

The deliverance of the church. (1-5) Thankfulness for the deliverance. (6-8)
Verses 1-5 God suffers the enemies of his people sometimes to prevail very far against them, that his power may be seen the more in their deliverance. Happy the people whose God is Jehovah, a God all-sufficient. Besides applying this to any particular deliverance wrought in our days and the ancient times, we should have in our thoughts the great work of redemption by Jesus Christ, by which believers were rescued from Satan.
Verses 6-8 God is the Author of all our deliverances, and he must have the glory. The enemies lay snares for God's people, to bring them into sin and trouble, and to hold them there. Sometimes they seem to prevail; but in the Lord let us put our trust, and we shall not be put to confusion. The believer will ascribe all the honour of his salvation, to the power, mercy, and truth of God, and look back with wonder and thanksgiving on the way in which the Lord has led him. Let us rejoice that our help for the time to come is in him who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 124:1-8 . The writer, for the Church, praises God for past, and expresses trust for future, deliverance from foes.
1, 2. on our side--for us ( Psalms 56:9 ).
now--or, "oh! let Israel"
2. rose . . . against, &c.--( Psalms 3:1 , 56:11 ).
3. Then--that is, the time of our danger.
quick--literally, "living" ( Numbers 16:32 Numbers 16:33 ), description of ferocity.
4, 5. (Compare Psalms 18:4 Psalms 18:16 ).
5. The epithet proud added to waters denotes insolent enemies.
6, 7. The figure is changed to that of a rapacious wild beast ( Psalms 3:7 ), and then of a fowler ( Psalms 91:3 ), complete escape is denoted by breaking the net.
8. (Compare Psalms 121:2 ).
name--in the usual sense ( Psalms 5:11 , 20:1 ). He thus places over against the great danger the omnipotent God, and drowns, as it were in an anthem, the wickedness of the whole world and of hell, just as a great fire consumes a little drop of water [LUTHER].

Brack: Will Blizzard consider a graphical overhaul? "Yep, probably." {WoW}
Aug 21st 2008 3:24PM I agree with you completely. I've quit the game several times, only to have the sudden urge to play it again. The time I came back after quitting the first time, I had started to dream about it.
Anyway, I know full well I'll be a WoW player for life, but I'm going to play Warhammer some when it comes out (I'm in the Beta, and it's a lot of fun, and does several things really well that WoW doesn't do), but I'm getting WotLK the day it comes out and will love it!
Officers' Quarters: When members vanish {WoW}
Mar 31st 2008 12:16PM As a co-guildmaster in a small, casual guild, this type of behavior is very frustrating. We pride ourselves on being friends, and for the most active members, we certainly are friends. One day, one of the top 3 players (in both time played and level) left the guild out of the blue. Didn't notify anyone. And the day before he was telling people how good the guild was. Now, I understand his reasons for leaving (progression, meaning he wants the phat loot), but ninja leaving the way he did was so dickish. And he didn't understand why myself and the other GM took it seriously. It's because, HELLO, you're our friend. The other GM talked to him on Skype each and every day and they ALWAYS ran together. It just really hurt. And it's happening more often.
So please, don't be a jerk. Tell them why you're leaving, because if you don't, it just makes us think you were in it for freebies.
Blood Pact: Fear kiting 101 {WoW}
Jul 19th 2007 9:58AM Good infos, all. I loved fear kiting and would routinely go find elites to kill just for the hell of it. One of my favorites was Volchan in The Burning Steppes, which I would usually kill for fun at level 58. Here's my routine:
1) Pull with Immolate
2) While he's on his way, start casting Fear.
3) Once the fear is cast and he starts running away, cast instant DoTs.
4) Once Fear breaks, and he starts running back, recast when in range, and repeat the process.
5) When near death, I start tossing Shadow Bolts to finish them off.
I'd usually keep my Voidwalker out just so I could sacrifice him if need be. It was always fun killing mobs that could eat the lunch of other classes. :D

My nephew lives on 5 acres of dirt, weeds & a few cactus at 6800-7000 ft. elevation flat plains & the soil is like clay or caliche: after recent snows the drive is a muddy ditch but when dry is like cement!
Was wondering if he planted something like crown vetch if it would put down deep roots to stabilize this soil? I realize it can become invasive but under the nephew's conditions I think it even then would have a hard time becoming invasive! What ever was planted would have to survive on the minimal rainfall there & moderate winter snows. Area full of jackrabbits, gophers, etc. Any ideas appreciated!! |

Definitely a bane. Here's a list of native plants for NM, some specifically state that they are good for erosion control. http://www.plantnative.org/rpl-az.htm Also, you might want to contact NM State Forestry Division for some advice and/or assistance. |

Skin Care
FYI: Fermented Beauty Products Are the Next Big Thing in Anti-Aging
An at-home peel can uncover brighter, more youthful skin without a trip to the spa or doc. Peels are intended to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, giving the face a smoother, more radiant appearance. When used correctly, they can minimize pores and even diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. See peels
If you don't have clear skin, you probably don't have a clear sense what to do about it, either. There are a million different acne products on the market, and just as many random pieces of advice on how to cure it. (Chocolate? Doesn't cause pimples, after all.) All those false starts and false hopes can make a girl think her best solution is to simply invest in full-coverage foundation. read more
If you suffer from acne, psoriasis or another skin condition, chances are you've tried everything to get rid of it. From crazy diets to expensive procedures, there's no rock that goes unturned in the fight for clear, healthy-looking skin. But have you tried wishing it away? Psychodermatology, an emerging field that makes the connection between skin health and mental health, suggests that using your mind to get rid of a problematic skin condition isn't such a crazy concept. read more
What causes acne, how to prevent acne from forming, and how to treat existing acne are three of the most mystifying issues in dermatology today. That's because acne can be influenced by such a weird amalgamation of factors -- from major influences like lifestyle, heredity and stress down to seemingly insignificant details like what you pour over your cereal in the morning. Here's everything we know about acne and how to cure it, from the foods that cause acne to pimple home remedies to antibiotics for acne. read more
If you're into beauty -- even if you only dabble -- you probably know that most of the hottest trends come courtesy of Korea. From BB creams and cushion compacts to oil cleansers, many Korean favorites have made their way stateside. read more
You change your wardrobe when winter rolls around, so what makes you think you shouldn't change your skin care? After all, your moisturizers and serums are sort of like clothes for the face -- they protect it from outside elements. And when those outside elements are destroying your skin, you need to have an arsenal of winter skin-care products on your side. Here, the best skin-care products for combating dry skin. read more
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, a fountain of youth overflowed abundantly -- bubbling out refreshing sips of anti-aging magic. One gulp or quick splash filled in lines and wrinkles, lifted saggy bits, de-puffed eyes, evened out skin tones and textures and reversed sun damage. See products
We tend to stick to the same three skin care basics: cleanser, moisturizer and sun protection (if we remember). Sure, a lot of women do the occasional face mask or splurge on a facial, but there is one superimportant step many tend to forgo too often: exfoliating. See face scrubs
You could do everything else right: eat the best foods for your skin, be up to date on the latest in anti-aging skin care and tirelessly slather on sunscreen -- but if you're neglecting your hands, all your efforts to harness the fountain of youth are for naught. read more
Botox has its fair share of pros and cons. Tops on the list of pros? It zaps wrinkles almost instantly and gives you long-lasting results. See products
Skin care is one of the most important components of natural beauty, no matter what your age, skin tone, or skin type. At Total Beauty, we aim to provide you with all the resources you need to take good care of your skin. We understand how important your skin is - not just for you to look good, but for your overall health as well.

This course provides a brief introduction to the concept of testing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based applications. SOA testing introduces new challenges. This course starts with an overview of SOA fundamentals and then looks into what is involved in testing SOA applications. The course also looks into some of the popular SOA testing tools in the market and demonstrates features of one such tool (selected by customer) and provides hands-on exercises to re-enforce learning.
Quality assurance, application developers, and enterprise architects will all gain considerable value from this curriculum.
No specialized technical pre-requisites are required for this course; however a basic understanding of SOA and some knowledge in IT systems and distributed computing is expected.

Stunning Views of Glaciers Seen From Space
- |
- 12:01 am |
- Permalink
Retreat of the Helheim Glacier, Greenland
Glaciers stay intact as long as the ice thickness and water depth allow them to stay firmly attached to the ground. But when the ice becomes too thin or the water gets too deep, the tip of a glacier starts to float and rapidly cracks into icebergs, creating what's called a "calving edge." This photograph, captured by NASA's Terra satellite in 2003, shows the calving edge of the Helheim Glacier in Greenland. Comparing similar images from 2001 and 2005 reveals that the solid portion of the glacier has been shrinking rapidly. Measurements from NASA reveal that in just four years, the glacier's margin retreated 4.7 miles and its flow speed increased from 5 to 7.5 miles per year. Between 2001 and 2003, the thickness of the glacier also shrunk by about 131 feet.
Unfortunately, the entire Greenland Ice Sheet has been undergoing similar shrinkage, thinning by tens of yards in the past decade. While warmer temperatures have certainly caused some of the thinning, scientists also think that the retreat of the ice margin has played a role: With less grounded ice to slow the ice sheet down, it's moving out to sea at a faster rate.

Helping You Treat Disc Disease

Help with joystick port
The status of the joystick documentation does not correspond with this kernel/version.
So, can someone clarify some of the above and tell me if I need to do all of this if all I want to do is capture the byte at hex 0201? This will provide the same thing as button pushes and potentiometer values so it seems logical.

Fire crews in Southern California are desperately fighting to put out a massive wildfire that's burning out of control.
Fanned by the Santa Anna winds, the blaze is less than 10 percent contained.
"Once the wind shifts .. the embers go everywhere," one firefighter explained.
"Our idea is to hit it hard, hit it fast and keep it as small as possible," another fire crew member said.
At least a thousand firefighters are on the ground, but still homes, businesses and thousands of acres are being burnt in the flames.
''We just lost everything. The spa. Our cat. Everything is gone," one homeowner lamented.
The fast moving wildfire is threatening more than 2,000 homes. Experts say the threat could extend to the Southwest and Mountain states.

The Garden
2009 was the first year for the Garden for the Community!
The Garden for the Community is located on a third of an acre on the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences campus (accessible from Rt. 896/S. College Ave.). We grow vegetables, herbs, and some fruits to provide fresh, local, sustainably-grown produce to the Food Bank of Delaware steadily throughout the year. The current economic climate makes it more important than ever to lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need. The Garden also provides a living classroom for students and community members, as well as a demonstration area for Food Bank culinary workshops.
The success of the garden depends on the generosity of local business donors, community volunteers, and CANR faculty, students and professionals. Please consider helping us work in this garden.
To join us as a business partner or volunteer, please contact Garden Intern Owen Cass by sending an e-mail to email@example.com

Despite all of the comment-section hate, the gondola idea is even winning in a poll at the Seattle Times. Over 1,600 votes so far.
Op-Ed: 2013 is "Year of the Gondola" in Seattle
When gondolas (aerial trams, that is, not Venetian canoes) hit the front page of the Seattle Times, you know it's going to be a great year.
God bless Mike Lindblom for giving the idea ink. Gondolas, like Dangerfield, get no respect — if you peruse the comment section (as always, my advice is not to), you notice first off that some people can't get past the word "gondola" itself.
Yes, they're used all around the world, and yes, not very many miles from Seattle, they work transporting thousands upon thousands of people up and down challenging terrain, but who can take them seriously except a multi-billion dollar industry that needs to move pedestrians wearing skis quickly and safely?
So we skip how gondolas compare to other transit in terms of carrying capacity and cost and move straight on to jokes about ziplines.
In the most priceless instances, commenters fall back on The Simpson's monorail episode, somehow forgetting that this is Seattle and not only do we have a workhorse, self-funded, 50-year-old monorail that carries about two million passengers per year, but in 2006 the operators got the okay to spend $4.5 million on an overhaul because the city didn't have a better solution.
In 2000, the monorail cost just $1.02 per passenger-mile to run its 1.2-mile route from Seattle Center to downtown. If you're not a transit wonk, know that $1 per mile is not bad; in 2009, King County Metro reported operating costs of $0.88 per mile.But Seattle's monorail runs purely on passenger fares (federal grants help with costs outside of usual operations), while Metro fares cover about 30 percent of operating costs.
Back to gondolas!
The success of any transit mode has to do with whether people want or need to get from A to B. Without demand, no dice. But that said, transit modes do offer comparative efficiencies when you look at the whole landscape. As I was explaining to Jeff Bezos earlier (Ha! We kid because we love!), it takes a modal village to move east-west in Seattle, especially on Denny: "More buses would just stack up in traffic, and the city will never find the cojones to allocate a bus-only rush-hour lane."
In his article, Lindblom quotes gondola-booster Matt Gangemi saying: "It's not unusual to wait 30 minutes for the 8." That's putting it mildly, because the waiting extends once you get on the 8 bus. During rush hour, a 15-minute trip can extend to about an hour. Exhibit A: @Fake8Bus. Demand is there, it's packed in like sardines, and it's moving more slowly than you can actually walk.
Seattle has chronic traffic congestion in part because certain areas are geographically congested — not only is there no room for another major thoroughfare, there's no room for another lane. If you can't use the surface, you can only move two ways: down to a Seattle Subway, or upward. We should do both — subways are the backbones of a high-capacity system — but we can get a gondola up and running faster and cheaper.
Matt Roewe and Matt Gangemi both detail, better than I can, the vision for how an east-west gondola would work, explaining the speed and reliability of gondolas (they're out of traffic and all-weather), as well as how their relatively light infrastructure (stringing cables from station to station) keeps footprints and costs down.
Vancouver's Burnaby Mountain gondola project, for instance, is estimated to cost about $120 million. It would travel 1.7 miles, and has the capacity to carry 4,000 or more people per hour. In contrast, a 2-mile tunnel beneath Seattle will cost $3.1 billion and carry (tolled) about 47,000 vehicles a day, depending on the price of the toll. You could build 26 2-mile gondola lines for that, carrying 104,000 people per hour — but let's not get ahead of ourselves. One gondola at a time.
4 thoughts on "Op-Ed: 2013 is "Year of the Gondola" in Seattle"
The TransLink (Metro Vancouver regional transit authority) gondola project was shelved on 11 January, 2012 due to high costs, funding challenges, and a great deal of opposition from residents of the neighbourhood over which it would pass. It was unclear if the project was intended to serve student commuters to and from Simon Fraser University, or to be a marketing tool for the university's large real estate development beside the campus. Nobody ever came clean on that and the prospect of using a lot of public money to serve private development interests didn't play well.
TransLink public consultation was for the most part window dressing, there was no real forum for open discussion, which in hindsight probably shot them in the foot as they are already mistrusted in Metro Vancouver (if not hated) so local media became a perfect platform for everyone to vent their anger on them, with the gondola as a focal point for what was (is) wrong with their planning and funding models.
Given the economic situation we're in, ongoing transit funding challenges, wiser ad hoc resident opposition groups, and potentially , a new oil pipeline to Vancouver harbour under the proposed route, it's unlikely the project will be resurrected any time soon.
Good luck with your plan, and be sure to listen to the folks who might have to live under the route: They're not NIMBYs, they'll be saying exactly what you'd be saying if one of these things was being strung up over your back yard.

Hello - I have several mexican bird of paradise shrubs with beautiful yellow flowers that I planted a year ago. I can't find any information on when I should start pruning them to tree form. They are all between 3 and 5 feet high now and each have several trunks. Should there be all these separate trunks for a tree? I don't know how to make them into nice bushy trees and looking on google has not helped me. Right now they are not very bushy. For example, the tallest plant has a single 5 foot long stem. I am using them as a screen. Thank you. |

I've never seen one of these with a true tree form. This plant will not form thick, 'bushy' growth, as it has more of a 'light', 'feathery', or 'lacy' form. Maybe this is why you've had trouble finding info on shaping it. But to answer your question, you can prune it during the winter, which will cause it to branch out more the next summer, although it will never form a thick screen like so many other trees/shrubs. Sorry this particular forum is so dead, you might try the Arizona forum for some more help... |

The Shiv Sena's attack on multiplexes in the city where advance booking for actor Shah Rukh Khan's film My Name Is Khan had opened took place even as the film's director Karan Johar met Mumbai Police Commissioner D. Sivanandan on Tuesday morning to seek an assurance of security.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, Mr. Johar said: "We have an assurance from Mr. Sivanandan of full protection everywhere. There is no issue and everything is fine. Our advance bookings have opened nationwide and the film will release on February 12. We had come here to seek a personal assurance that security would be provided at every location. We are on board for the release."
Himanshu Roy, Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order), told a press conference: "The distributors and theatre-owners of My Name Is Khan came to meet us. We have assured them that wherever this film is screened in Mumbai, we will give adequate protection. They have given us a list of theatres. We have already started protection at some places where advance bookings are going on.
"I would not like to discuss deployment pattern, but we are providing adequate security. Theatres, officers of exhibitors and distributors, including personal security will be taken care of."
Without naming the Sena, Mr. Roy said there was a concern "that there have been some moves by some political parties suggesting that the film be banned. Some calls have been made. There was pressure not to release the film."
"We are considering the possibility of [Sainiks] buying tickets and disrupting the show inside; we have thought of preventive action. The issue of producing identity proof has not yet come up, but if need be, we would ask for identification.
"There will be high level of frisking and personal checking of people entering theatres. We have also tried to design a protocol on what steps need to be followed. There is a possibility of police being present in plain clothes. We have called for the State Reserve Police Force," Mr. Roy added. He said the film was being released in 63 theatres as of now.
The police are also providing personal security to some people connected with the film. Mr. Johar has not yet asked for personal security and Mr. Roy remained tight-lipped on whether such a demand had come from Mr. Khan. Heavy police deployment continues at the actor's bungalow in suburban Bandra.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai police's leave has been cancelled. There has been no respite for the police who were engaged in bandobast duty during Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's visit.
A festering law and order situation lies ahead with the nearing of the movie's release date, followed by the Sena's pet peeve, Valentine's Day, and the Indian Premier League in March.
Pointing to an intensification of its campaign, Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi is reported to have reiterated his party's demand for an apology from Mr. Khan and said Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray would take to the streets if need be.
Keywords: My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Shiv Sena, Theatre, IPL

We missed the boat (pardon the pun) on beautifying the Harbor Front years ago. A prime example of beautification of a dreary dull waterfront would be www.kingswarf.ca. That is what we need here in St. John's. Though first before we start to beautify our harbor front, we should beautify our Council when the next election rolls around.

Kevin, I agree absolutely. A temporry fence for the purposes of a few Cruise ships a year makes sense, from a security perspective....but a permanent fence would be both an insult and an 'eye-sore' for the city's livyers, not to mention other travellers to the beautiful Capital. The fense as a temporary security necessity is rational tolerance....otherwise, a decision to leave the fence permanently left in place...would be a decision approximating hanging a cloth over the 'Mona Lisa'. Counsellors wake up...where's the 'even adequate' justification' for making such an intellectually vacant decision. The wharf area, as is, has been there for...how many decades? Why is it necessary to have it fenced now? Don't spoil the openness of the harbour, for the 'in context' a few sheckles a year you receive from tourists, as welcomed as they are. The fence's permanent positioning would serve what purpose...really, other than a necessary temporary security zone....to control curiosity seekers a few handful of days each year.

Photos Gothic quarter Barcelona |
Pictures Gothic area of Barcelona
The "Ciutat Vella", which means "old city" in the Catalan language, is one of the biggest medievel city areas in Europe. It includes the neighbourhoods of La Raval, Barri Gotic, La Ribera and El Born. Each neighbourhood in the old city of Barcelona has its own special places and atmosphere. "Barcino" is the old Roman name for Barcelona. These letters can seen on the Plaça Nova near Barcelona cathedral, where the western gate, called Porta Praetoria, of the old Roman city was located. > Map of Roman walls and remains
The area now called "Ciutat Vella" is the old medieval city and is easy to see on a satellite photo. Almost all the walls of the medieval city are gone now except a small section by the Drassanas Reial - the Royal shipyards. There are signs at the places that indicate where the gates of the middle age walls once were. The narrow streets of Barcelona's old city are full of chic cafes, restaurants and boutiques A nice area for walks in the Barri Gotic is "El Call" - the medieval Jewish quarter of Barcelona The "Capella Reial de Santa Àgata i el Palau Reial Major" (Royal Chapel of Santa Àgata and the Royal Palace) on "Plaça de Ramon Berenguer" by Via Laietana.

The letter box is from 1902, when the building was used by the "Colegio de Abogados" (college of laywers) who asked Domenech i Montaner to renovate the building. The turtle is said to symbolise the speed of the postal service at that time.
Plaza Neri is one of the smallest and quietest plazas in the Barrio Gotico. It is home to the tiny Barcelona shoe museum and you can have a coffee at the Hotel Neri's outdoor cafe.
The famous Catalan architecht Antoni Gaudi was a student in the children's school on Plaza Neri. Tragedy hit Plaza Neri on 30th January 1938 during the Spanish civil war, when a bomb fell and claimed 42 civilian lives, among them many children. The shrapnel damage on the church "Església de Sant Felip Neri" is still visible and a memorial plaque now honours the victims.
Plaza Reial in the Barri Gotic of Barcelona has many popular restaurants and bars including Los Tarantos flamenco bar, Jamboree Jazz Club and Les Quinze Nits restaurant
The lamp posts on Plaza Reial were designed by Antoni Guadi

text: After some time of communication with this musician, you unwittingly agree with the saying that "true talent is always very modest". He doesn't like to speak about himself – it's such a rare feature nowadays! Almost nothing is known about this young producer hiding under a mysterious name TH MOY, but we managed to find out something. TH MOY is from a Spanish city of Girona. He has been into techno since he was 18, he tried out various genres: trance, progressive house, tech house, minimal. Since he was 22, his style became harder as progressive and electro. His sound is notable for its smooth purity, depth and grace. His matching of instruments and timbres in his tracks is so perfect that while listening to his works and enjoying them, you think "This is the real sound!" TH MOY is a great remixer, his collaboration with a singer and songwriter Alfida was a huge success for both.

Rand Paul Endorses Mitch McConnell in 2014 Senate Race, Won't Back Tea Party Challenge
Submitted by emalvini on Thu, 03/28/2013 - 19:32Patrick Howley | March 27, 2013 | Daily Caller
The Daily Caller has learned that Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul is endorsing Sen. Mitch McConnell for re-election in 2014, ending speculation that Paul would back a tea party challenge to the Senate minority leader.
"Rand Paul has endorsed McConnell," Jesse Benton, McConnell's 2014 campaign manager, told The Daily Caller.
Benton, who has worked for both Rand Paul and his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, is credited by insiders with brokering Paul's support for McConnell.

Rand is reigning in McConnell's vote. That's at least a positive note of us infiltrating them as opposed to vice versa.

So Rand is a sheep in wolf's clothing?
I am wondering how your comment fits your signature.

its ok
It's what needs done to keep him in the GOP for the purposes of running as a serious prez candidate in 2016. Even though I am quite skeptical of the purity and soundness of our election system, and even though I believe economic calamity will hit before 2016, Rand Paul is the United States' last best hope. No, he's not Dr. Ron Paul, but he's the next best thing with a chance of winning and righting this sinking ship. Let him endorse whomever.

The way I see it
there is one constant were dealing with and that is that the establishment does not want Rand as a candidate for POTUS. Think of Rand as a deer that is being pursued by a pack of wolves that are trying to seperate him from the herd in order to destroy him. So long as he continues to blend in with the herd the establishment wolves can't grab him by the ankles & rip him apart. Now, this being said don't think for a second that there aren't people here on DP as trolls for the sole purpose of seperating him from this herd.

I wonder what he got out of that deal?
As long as he's playing politics I sure hope he's really playing politics and getting something out of this deal.
we completely ignore his support and put in someone good. Rand has his cake and eats it too. He gets his political capital for being a team player and supporting Mcconnel and a new colleague to help him combat washington. Sorry Mcconnel and the establishment, at least he tried right? Will of the people and all that. So sorry.
By the way who do we have in place to take on Mcconnel in 2014? Someone mentioned Adams down below?
- Login to post comments
If a credible aqlternative to McConnel runs, he'll still ahve a good shot at winning the primary without the Rand endorsement. If someone primaries McConnell successfully then Rand will be supporting them fully in the general (if someone is successful that'd mean they are a great canidate capable of actually helping Rand in DC) but idf McConnell isn't primaried then Rand has made the smart choice for his future presidential prospects, and helped to advance liberty. Sometimes the correct choice is not the obvious choice, and sometimes the purist position is not the most tenable.

This is crap.
Pardon me for saying so, but this is crap. If true, (and I will wait to see if Rand says so himself or at least someone from his camp) AND if a tea party guy like Adams does run, then in my opinion, we are back to square one.
I mean, think back to 2007 and one person after another thought about backing Paul but deemed he couldn't win so they backed someone else. It was a self-fulfulling prophecy, you idiots!
This makes me mad, if true. Still plan on supporting Rand, but this is just a big load of crap.

Worse than Romney
At least with Romney it was all over but the fat lady singing. Yes, I know we could have launched something from the GOP floor, but it was very unlikely.
This, a pre-emptive strike of endorsements, if true...this borders on insanity.

can't walk into congress and alienate every big playing republican there is....if he did he would be out on a limb all by himself and nothing would be working for him. He's playing politics...that's how its done.

You can use the office...
as a pulpit to proclaim a bold and loud message of Liberty, Peace and Sound Money and create an awakening of millions of hearts and minds.... like Ron did.
But I guess that way is weak and stupid. But then again we wouldn't even know Rand's name and Daily Paul wouldn't exist and the status quo wouldn't be on the run without Ron's way.
Maybe it is Rand's way that sux and Ron's way that is necessary for victory....
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~

Or maybe
it's both we need. I'll refer you to Doug Wead on the issue......you need people just like Ron Paul....and you also need people who can speak the political language. Do I respect Ron more because of everything he did and the fact he never gave up on any of his principles? Probably...that's what drew me to the guy. That doesn't mean this movement can't use someone like Rand who knows how to play chess with these jackasses.
- Login to post comments
I think it is clear
That both ways are necessary. If playing the inside game wasn;t important Ron wouldn;t ask us liberty folks to gwet involved with the local GOP and suffer through the meetings to work our way up the ranks. It is important, and Rand knows it just as much as his father did. To put it another way, sometimes it takes a bomb thrower to start a revolution, but it takes a general who knows tactics to lead a revolutionary army to victory.

The POTUS Is Hand Picked
Every POTUS since JFK has been selected by the Illuminati and no matter who Rand endorses, he will not become president, unless he joins the Illuminati organization.
I supported RP for president knowing he would never be allowed to win, but he was getting the message out.
Like RP said, we must end the Federal Reserve System. A former illuminati member said we must destroy the Fed, or we are financially doomed. He said this and much,
much more on the radio last night and can be found here.
- Login to post comments
So you can be a former illuminati member?
I didn't know it worked that way. Why doesn't Rand join then, he can refute them on January 21 2017. I won't mind, it's not like I'll get a chance to not vote them in otherwise....of course this comment supposes you buy into the whole illuminati thing....which I don't really. I do however, believe, that powerful people tend to run in tight circles.

Classic Illustration Of...
...politics over principle.
The very concept of standing unwaveringly on principle seems to be anathema to many in this 'so called' liberty-movement.
And so continues the fall of the Republic...

It is indeed a classic
It is indeed a classic illustration of politics over principle. It illustrates that some people are so blinded by politics that they cannot see good principle when it stares them in the face. It illustrates how important politics really are to the people who claim the opposite, for they don't like political moves and will see tyranny, rape, carnage and death continue before conceding that it is in fact just politics.

If Rand Paul plays the Neocon
If Rand Paul plays the Neocon game, and this can get him the presidency (because who are we kidding, if you are not one of them they WILL keep you out)then maybe...hopefully....when he's president he will change Amaerica back to the constitution and the people. That is my hope. What he learned from his father sticks with him and everything he is doing right now it just to get in so that he can change it the way he wants.
If not, we are all in trouble because there are already so few "good guys" in congress. If we loose him, we are in big trouble.

Not To Worry
McConnell in a political whore. I believe Rand is quite aware of this. Ol' Mitch will say and do whatever he thinks it will take to get reelected. Just look at his new stance on hemp. The ones to really worry about are the Tea Partiers. Although we may have some things in common with them, they are not the Liberty Movement. To a large extent they are warmongering, theocratic statists.
Rand has the Tea Party support. McConnell wants in. I maintain an open mind towards Rand and I find his actions and voting record more endearing all the time.
Let's hope that as Rand draws establishment Republicans towards the Tea Party ideas Tea Partiers will move closer to the principles of the Liberty Movement. It's a process.
- Login to post comments
To the nay sayers
If Rand endorsed anyone other than McConnell all influence he has in the party is done. End of story.
Rand didn't tell any of us to vote for McConnell. And Rand didn't compromise on his own political views.
How hard some of us worked to earn Ron Paul the presidency. When it came down to it, the average Republican didn't think Ron was one of them and didn't trust him and couldn't vote for him.
Now your asking Rand to go down the same road as his father politically?
Rand is the politician his father wasn't. No he is not Ron he is Rand.
Ron advanced liberty in the ideological sphere. Rand is advancing liberty in the political sphere. The game plans are different because the situation is different.
That is the reality of the situation.

To Each His Own
Thanks for the well-written comment
Many DP'rs are not interested in politics. That is understandable because there is no relationship with politics and the application of nonagression.
Rand has chosen to pursue his vision of expanding the liberty movement by introducing these ideas into the political system. And, so far, he has done more than any other single politician in Washington to disseminate the message into the mainstream. By supporting McConnell, he has access to a powerful opposition force in Washington. Rand is following Ron Paul's lead in supporting all incumbents in his state and he is getting a lot more in return than his father did.
I am supporting all options that can spread the liberty message.
I support liberty seekers who choose to play the political game. And I also support those who are converting voters one at a time by teaching the principles of freedom. Anyone who says that their way to liberty is the only way needs to ask themselves if they believe that the best way to free speech is to suppress the voice of others.

Weebles -
I am sorry that my message is not clear. Let me attempt to clarify.
If you read the comment again, you will see that I said that I support all those who are trying to spread the message.
Instead of trying to sabotage Rand when he uses different tactics than a person might wish, why not just pursue your own tactics?
By the way - just a tip. Correction is good. Name calling is bad.
Name calling is for losers and not the best way to win friends and influence people. Just a tip.
