Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them
When are we going to finally come to terms with the reality of US history? This constant denial of the aggressive history inflicted on Native Americans, which includes early attempts at biological warfare, genocide, stealing, lying, cheating and rape of a once pristine land; impedes our progress and relations more than any other single factor, in my opinion. This country is stuck. Truth, acceptance of reality and amends is what a responsible, intelligent government practices; how long is the US going to look the other way (perhaps it continues to do so because many of the above horrors are still in practice by the US today.) Total amends may never be possible, alcoholism, the disease of greed and the complete disregard for nature is rampant now. However, an attempt to face the truth about the errors of the humans who arrived from Europe and began their outrageous Eminent Domain may at least heal some of the deep wounds that ALL the people of this land suffer whether they are conscious of this or not. I think the Mt. Rushmore Monument is a hideous reminder of the numerous crimes committed against the natural world and Native Americans. The US's huge adolescent ego must surrender to wisdom or our continued demise is almost certain.

Lakota Gather Peacefully at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, But Still Insist that the Black Hills Belong to Them
You'll be hard pressed to find one treaty that the US goverment has honored in the past 200 years with ANY Native American tribe, regardless of content and motivation. This country was "settled" by homesteaders in the name of Eminent Domain, with little or actually no regard for peoples already in place across the land. And ever since that expansion the rights, property and even some of the people themselves have been literally stolen by consent of those empowered in Washington. I guess being a thief never goes out of style, politically speaking.
It's a bit after the fact, but what would the current reaction in the world community be to, say, our government backing away from signed agreements with the G8, UN, OPEC, and the like? Oh wait a minute, we haven't paid UN dues for decades, or supported their "peace keeping" efforts, beyond that is, our rhetoric. And we're on record as saying that OTHER nations should lead the movement to reduce fossil fuel emissions, on the grounds that we are currently lacking the internal mechanisms to do so "economically". And here I thought the world-wide disdain for our citizenry was unjustified. My bad.
Is Technology Compatible With The National Park Wilderness Experience?
So lets leave our cameras behind while we are at it, down with flash lights and plastic cookware! and thermarest mattresses
One thing that bugs me about the 'wilderness experience' is us ultralight hikers who are forced to shave weight and carry devices to aid us in our travels such as PLB's and GPS units are frowned upon by those who can afford to bring in big groups of horses with dutch ovens massive coolers chairs, thick heavy canvas tens, cots, lanterns, ect ect. What kind of 'wilderness' experience is that!?Frankly if I want to sit on a rock and use my ipod in the middle of the wilderness area I should be left alone! after all how much of a wilderness experience is it for me anyways to have to wade through all the horse sh** on my hike up there from all the horses trampling up the trail and making it a fly infested highway in the middle of a wilderness area.

Find Me, Spot. Staying Found in The National Parks
the problem is not the existance of the device but rather the publics preception as to what a emergency is. This is a great tool and will save many lives. I plan on taking a 3 month road trip to alaska in the future with numerous long hikes and kayak trips along the way, being that I am traveling solo, I am planing on bringing this along to tell others where I am, and have a way to call for help if the situation should exceed my capability.
Promise you, if you were in a hiking group with Ranger Boyers and the situation reached a point where he was faced with the choice of activating the beacon, or death, he would fire that peice of technology right up. Hes right though, these beacons should not be used for twisted ankles and minor broken bones, but there is a time and a place for them. Education is the key not disdain of the device.

Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Before anybody gets their shorts in a knot over this rare bacterial infection, consider the following:
Reservoirs include cattle, swine, goats, sheep, dogs and various wildlife species infected with the organism. Wildlife species found infected include bison, feral hogs, elk, caribou,
deer and coyotes. So maybe we should consider killing off all the sheep, goats, dogs and various other small mammals if we, as the article so eloquently states, intend to claim the continent as "disease free" within the coming 10 year period. Fat chance of either happening in our lifetime......Brucella occurs worldwide, especially in Mediterranean countries, the Middle East countries, India, Central Asia and Latin America. Over 100 cases are reported in the
United States annually. From 1990-1996, five cases were confirmed in Ohio. Brucellosis infection in the United States is, for the most part, an occupational disease of stockyard,
farm, and slaughterhouse workers, butchers and veterinarians. Which makes this about as common and dangerous as West Nile Virus and Asian Bird Flu. Which by the
way are viral infections, and as such have no currently viable antidote, unlike the widely available and highly effective antibiotics for brucella.The infection is usually contracted by handling livestock fetuses and afterbirth or by contact with vaginal secretions, blood, urine and carcasses of infected animals. Infection
can also be acquired by the ingestion of raw milk or unpasteurized cheese from infected cows, sheep and goats. Airborne spread of the bacteria has also been documented.
Transmission has occurred in the laboratory environment. Persons such as veterinarians, farmers and their assistants may be inadvertently inoculated with the Brucella organism
when using the brucellosis vaccine to vaccinate cattle. Person-to-person transmission has been reported but very rare. Anybody out there ever handled or even been near
a livestock afterbirth, vaginal secretion, blood or urine? I thought not......the airborne transmitted option is indeed possible, but by current counts, less than .001%
of human cases are thought to be traced to this vector.I've been made sport of in the past for suggesting the methane component of cattle exhaust is more of a problem with the ozone layer than you give it credit for, and that by far the healthiest red meat, in terms of highest protein per gram and lowest cholesterol and overall fat content is buffalo meat. Which tastes far better than cattle meat also, but that's a personal opinion. Both bison and elk are far better health choices than is cow, healthier than both turkey and chicken. But here I go again taking on another long-standing special interest group and their propaganda machine.
EAT BUFFALO.....REAL MEAT FOR REAL PEOPLE. Never again ask, "Where's the beef?"
Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail?
Good questions, Kurt.
All NPs offer opportunities for some activities; that doesn't mean all/some NPs should accommodate all activities.
I love Big Bend, for its open spaces, ruggedness, aloneness. I think it is big enough that a biking trail would not interfere with other uses -- horseback riding (my thing), hiking, etc. It goes without saying (or should) that the trail must be placed and constructed so it doesn't encourage erosion, must be maintained, and the users must take responsibility for their behavior (trash, staying on the trail, etc.).
I say all this despite the fact that I don't especially like mountain bikers, particularly the really thoughtless, careless one that came jouncing around a blind curve on a horses-only trail in one of our state parks several years ago, spooking our horses and getting several of us hurt. But I know most aren't like that.
In answer to your larger question, no, I don't think every other NP should drop every restriction or encourage every type of recreational activity. Each is its own situation -- size, locale, types of plants and wildlife, potential impact of the activity on the park and on current users -- all these and more. We must not turn our NPs into Disneylands with real trees! That doesn't mean we shouldn't be constantly looking at each individual park to see what activities might be added, or deleted for lack of interest.
I'm a big fan of vast open spaces, and I generally dislike the sweaty masses with flip-flops and screaming kids. BUT, we do need them. First because they help pay the NP tab, both through use fees and through their taxes, and second, because some of them will inevitably connect somehow with the larger park experience. They'll "get it" and become our next generation of park lovers and supporters. -
Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail?
Mark raises an intriguing question (although it's one that's been touched on previously). It revolves around his statement that adding mountain biking trails "holds the promise of bringing many new NPS supporters into the fold."
Are we to assume that mountain bikers could care less about national parks unless they can ride off-road -- and preferably on single-track trails -- through them?
In the past at least one commenter has pointed out that the national parks need all the advocates they can muster, and that mountain bikers, being somewhat innocuous on the landscape (a point that can be debated), should be courted.
So should a concession here and one there be allowed in the name of luring advocates for the parks?
Should Yellowstone drop its prohibition to paddlers on the Firehole, Madison, Gibbon, Lamar and Yellowstone rivers to lure more advocates who like to paddle? Should prohibitions against mechanized travel in wilderness and recommended wilderness in parks be dropped to lure more ATV and snowmobile users in the name of building park advocates? What about prohibitions against personal watercraft?
Is it so difficult to find advocates for the parks simply because of the qualities they preserve/conserve and showcase, and not because of what recreational add-ons folks can bring to them?
Are there not already enough multi-use lands throughout the state parks, national forests, BLM lands, and even the National Park System, to meet the needs of all these varying interests, or must the National Park Service take on an across-the-board multi-use mission as well?
Park Police Arrest Men Who Brought a Loaded Submachine Gun to a Playground in National Capital Parks-East
How come the NPS arrests people like this (which they should) and allows things like what goes on a Fire Island National Seashore (see below). Aren't these actions crimes? Should the NPS be looking the other way and letting this happen in view of visitors, including kids, in a national park?
FINS Citations Spark Concern, Even Outrage
Written by Michael K. Lavers
Sunday, July 06, 2008With the height of the all too-short summer season less than a week away, the news of possible arrests inside the Meatrack, a strip of beach between Cherry Grove and the Fire Island Pines that has long been a popular cruising spot for gay men, sent shock waves through the two hamlets. The Fire Island National Seashore [FINS], which maintains jurisdiction over the Meatrack, also known as the Carrington Tract, was quick to point out its rangers made no arrests. It did confirm to the News, however, that they cited two people for disorderly conduct on June 15. Rangers restrained one of these men after he allegedly threw a substance into the weeds and attempted to run away. They cited him for possession of a controlled substance.
Three additional people received citations for disorderly conduct on June 21 for allegedly engaging in sexual activity within view of the trail. FINS spokesperson Paula Valentine categorically denied that any raids or targeted policing of gay men inside the Meatrack motivated these citations. She said the rangers issued them while on what she described as routine patrols—although the first two were issued during an orientation tour for new FINS seasonal staffers.
"They're there to protect resources and protect people," Valentine said. "If they come across people engaged in activities that are inappropriate for a public place, they are going to have to respond to them."
She further noted FINS received additional funds from the National Parks Service to put more rangers on the beach this season. The seashore has also used this money to provide lifeguards on Barrett Beach, additional canoe and guided programs at both Watch Hill and the Sunken Forest and to resurface the boardwalk at Sailors Haven.
FINS again defended its rangers' actions. "Park rangers check for litter and vandalism and impacts to wildlife," according to a statement released to journalists after a number of gay bloggers and Web sites began to report on what allegedly took place. "Park rangers are also there to provide first aid and emergency medical services. But when an illegal activity is encountered, they are obligated to do their jobs as federal law enforcement officers."
The citations, which many in both the Pines and the Grove initially thought were arrests, sparked concern and even anger among a number of local residents. The Suffolk County Police Department arrested dozens of gay men during raids in the 1960s on sodomy, indecent exposure and other charges. Local activism eventually stopped these Meatrack incursions, but the recent citations brought the issue back to the forefront for some. "For 40 years, [things have] been running smoothly here," East End resident Philip Otten told the News on a recent Tuesday night at Island Breeze in the Grove. "People come here because of the freedom."
Mid-week patrons at Low Tea and Sip n' Twirl in the Pines also discussed the citations—and resulting hubbub—as they enjoyed their beers and cocktails. "It's absolutely frustrating," one Pines resident, who identified himself as Andy, said. "This is an adult island. This is an island about non-censorship. People want to be free."
FINS Acting Superintendent Sean McGuinness met with members of both the Fire Island Pines Property Owners Association and the Cherry Grove Property Owners Association to address local concerns. CGPOA President Larry Lane said McGuinness stressed to him "the issue is resolved" and "we should not have any further problems."
"I'm satisfied for the moment," Lane said. "We're hoping there will be no further problems."
Valentine further stressed FINS will continue to work with both FIPPOA and CGPOA to respond to any further concerns. "The key thing is mutual respect on both sides, from every aspect," she said.
The Wilderness Act At Age 44
Nice essay, Kurt. Can anyone imagine such a visionary piece of legislation being passed in today's political
climate? Me memory's fadin', but I seem to recall from '60s Sierra Club Bulletins that top NPS brass lobbied
against inclusion as the Wilderness Act was being passed? An "increasing population", with it's
ever-increasing economic aspirations, may have to settle for whatever wild lands escape the frenzy,
designated or not. The best definition of 'real wilderness' I ever heard was 'a place with a very high
probability of your body never being found'."For while there is quite a lot of national park landscape that arguably would qualify for wilderness
designation, until that designation is bestowed by Congress these lands are open to development, to road
building, and to off-road vehicle travel."Ed Abbey long ago characterized the NPS as divided into preservationist and development camps, varying in
relative strength from unit to unit. I think this is still a fair generalization today and a factor in the slow pace of wilderness designation. Even in NPS designated wilderness, the development faction is sometimes still fighting rear-guard actions.A good example is Ted's beloved Olympic NP, where some major trails on the map were so seldom maintained by Park crews as to be functionally abandoned. At the same time, new high-standard frontcountry 'Nature Trails' were built almost every year for two decades. Olympic is arguably our finest 'real wilderness' south of Canada,
but man's urge to tame and 'improve' it has resulted in a trail inventory totaling over 11,000 manmade
structures, including several hundred bridges and at least eight miles of boardwalk. Five major trail bridges, costing almost a half million in the 1990's, were so poorly designed (in-house) that they were destroyed by snow within a very few years, while older bridges survived.The Peninsula chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen has for many years been allowed to carry chainsaws and
firearms, for 'trail maintenance' and 'euthanasia of injured animals'. This management policy has resulted
in the Park purchasing quite a few dead horses. The real cause of death in many cases was falling off way
trails where horses had no business being. I guess ORV enthusiasts aren't the only ones who like to 'see what
this baby can do'. This 'upgrading' is just another form of wilderness development.The local Park Association threatened to file suit over the replacement of damaged backcountry shelters with non-historic prefab designs. Olympic's Wilderness Management Plan has been written for over a decade, even copied, modified and approved by other NPS units, but has yet to be approved by Olympic Park management. I believe they were sued over the delay by The Wilderness Society, but they're still stalling.
It's amazing how the NPS gets away with whining about the humongous 'maintenance backlog' when much of the
list is actually desired development, and much of the real maintenance on it was deferred because the money
and labor resources were transferred to past development. But then, few NPS managers ever got promoted to
Hawaii or Virgin Islands for just taking care of what was already there at their current Park.
Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail?
As an unabashed fan of adding more shared-use trails to national parks, I have to thank "Barky" for a well-considered message. Trail design and construction do more to determine the impacts of recreation than whether the traffic comes from foot travel, bicycles or equestrian use. Adding well-considered mountain biking trails to appropriate national parks -- as determined by on-the-ground field staff -- holds the promise of bringing many new NPS supporters into the fold.
As for the Traveler's assertion that the Big Bend trail has to be five feet wide to accept bike traffic ... well there are plenty of mountain bikers who would much rather see the trail narrowed to the 18-inch tread size normally associated with singletrack mountain biking. But those design parameters are best left for the Big Bend trail-building staff to determine -- and that's exactly how things are proceeding in the park.
Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
While writing an earlier response I considered including reference to "Cervid Wasting Disease", CWD. Looking at web-references about this, I saw mention of:
- a Canadian national initiative to revive their formerly large deer etc wild game meat industry, and...
- a reference to an eastern US State's imported deer meat & slaughter regulations, indicating the existence of a meaningful industry.
It is probably that we could follow your suggestion on a substantial scale.
Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Lets do this in reverse; kill all of the cattle and raise buffalo and elk. I understand that their meat is better for us anyway. Ted Turner has been trying to convince us of this for years.
Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Random Walker;
Yes! Thank you for the links!
YTY - the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative is an example mentioned by Kurt (he thought languishing). Their website looks nicely developed, with current news. I think there is extra potential for enlarged (and better) habitat preservation in the more-northern regions.
The North American Wildlands Network identifies itself as The Rewilding Institute. I have surfed into material referencing them: they are known & active. Their website is quite attractive, though it is 'content' (which I like) rather than 'community' oriented. Their front page has an intriguing sketch-map (down a ways) of the western USA, showing potential habitat enclaves with linkages between them.
Freedom to Roam's full identity is Patagonia Environmental Activism Campaign: Freedom to Roam. It appears to be a project of the Patagonia clothing corporation. A positive engagement, I'd say. Also a content-site.
The last 2 of these 3 appear focused on establishing linkages, green-belts or migration-ways between now-separated existing habitat enclaves ... or as Kurt refers to them, "islands". (I am about halfway through "Song of the Dodo")
The particular aspect that I and I think Kurt were considering is to establish policy over extended territories (rather than 'corridors'), even allowing for the inclusion of non-wilderness human presence & activities. By doing so, we can manage larger solid regions of terrain.
But the 'connector' idea promoted by these organizations certainly looks good. Many would plainly include human presence.
Paying To Understand U.S. History in the National Park System
I think Beamis's comments 9/2 sum up this thread's journey rather well. The upcoming commission is about to examine an organization with an extraordinary mission. In the world of E. O.Wilson, we have a leader and thinker to match the complexity of that mission. I'm looking forward to meaningful results.

Big Bend National Park: Is It Ready For A Mountain Bike Trail?
First, I haven't been to Big Bend yet, so please take that into account for the following comment:
On principle, I'm fine with mountain biking trails in the parks. Although they are imperfect (meaning they do create ruts in the ground), at least they are less intrusive than motorized vehicles, provide exercise for park goers, and enable people to go deeper into a park than normally would be allowed. I equate this activity to rock climbing and other activities that aren't necessarily unobtrusive but are relatively low-impact.
Having said that, mountain biking can be hazardous in slow-growth areas (deserts, for example, where cacti and other plants can take years to seed and flourish). So I don't want mountain biking where they can clearly destroy the environment.
But biking, in general, is better than a lot of alternatives. If good trails can be created & maintained that don't screw up the environment, then hurray for mountain biking!

A View from Abroad: Don't Let Tourism Overwhelm Our National Parks
I really like this article from Australia. I especially like this part:
National parks offer a special tourist experience, but not the full range of tourist experiences. The extra bits of a tourist's time in an area - the accommodation, the fun parks, evening entertainment, restaurants and takeaway joints - belong in the neighbouring towns.
This is where they will generate the most jobs, have the lowest environmental impacts and best spread the benefits.
This is brilliant, and something so often neglected in the comments on NPT. The communities around the parks really need to be able to benefit from park tourism. Those who advocate more "touristy" parks should take this track instead: let the surrounding communities do the touristy stuff, and leave the parks themselves as unscathed as possible.

Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Kurt et al,
Europe's Green Belt Initiative concept is exciting and their website is a good resource; I look forward to reading more. Especially, they offer under Database > Publications, The Green Belt Book. Though of course centered on their particular project & setting, the book's table of contents sketches out a good start for others with similar aims.
I have to think that a crucial, perhaps the central element on which the success of such a project would depend & revolve, is to bring the human inhabitants of a region being considered as a biome-scale habitat or ecosystem preserve willingly & enthusiastically on-side. Furthermore, they will be powerful allies, if their fears are laid to rest and the future of their culture can be seen as secured.
Getting it right with the locals may well be Job One.
In the late 1990s, there was an intense & highly scientific public input process executed on the Olympic Peninsula to evaluate the proposal to reintroduce gray wolves at the Olympic National Park. This process was really quite extraordinary, and I never felt that the question, "Why was the process conducted in such an unusual way?", was realistically addressed. On the other hand, had that study been conducted to document the existing social & cultural bases of the communities surrounding the ONP on the OP ... then it would strike me as being much easier to understand.
I.e., if the wolf-idea was used as an excuse to study the locals, then it makes better sense.
(The methodology ensured that the resulting data was actually real, objective, scientific data, not a transcript of disputing viewpoints. In fact, many participants objected, because what they wanted was a better forum for engaging in dispute.)
There is of course a very old, now-marginalized but entrenched meme among preservationists, that the Olympic Peninsula offers our best hope for the protection of a complete, intact habitat. (As Kurt points out, even our biggest Parks were poorly-selected to serve as habitat; Yellowstone being Exhibit A.)
The wolf-study was thoroughly documented and is available. It dramatically emphasized the local's interpretation & impression of 'outsiders' attempting to make decisions for them, that affected them, without their own positions being important. Gaging & addressing this particular type of concern really seems like the core to a successful regional eco-preserve project ... and that's what they did here on Olympic Peninsula.
Congress had the study done. Was it a sign that they are thinking in terms of eco-regions?
As Kurt mentions, there are other settings in North America that suggest themselves as candidates for extended habitat protection projects.
Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Yes, I'm well aware of the Yosemite Valley infrastructure and Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone. However, the European models I refer to operate on a much, much larger scale.
For instance, in Lake District National Park there are more than 42,000 year-round residents and nearly 23,000 "dwellings".
Kinda makes Yosemite Valley look like a backwater.
Brucellosis Solution: Kill All Elk and Bison in Yellowstone National Park
Kurt: "How could you have villages within a national park's boundaries?" Ever been to Yosemite? Seen Wawona? Yosemite Village in the valley? Do you know how many primary schools exist in NPS units, because so many families live there? How about Jasper National Park in Canada? Or Banff? The villages and the people were there before the park was dedicated - or they grew with the staff of the parks. Of course the first explanation is more relevant in Europe, but examples exist in North America as well.

No, no breaks given, sorry
Not writing perfect english is perfectly understandable most of the time, but not when you're selling professional products worldwide, then it makes you look like amateurs because you could not find a single guy at the end of a lenghty process that can write proper english : Ideas, design, manufacturing, marketing... aaaaaand there you fail at writing the manual. Even if thats the only weakness, it plants the idea that maybe there could be more amateurism, hidden. And thats generally speaking, not just about DJI or the RC world... To me the DJI manual is quite ok to be honest, we've all seen much much worse. |

Something I found today, while reassembling my F450 with brand new hardware after my stupid stunt in the river :
Right after the crash I opened all electronics, dried, etc, in the DJI GPS there was only few droplets, all seemed fine. Then this afternoon, I plug everything, and goddamnhell, the GPS is not shown in the assistant, and the VU led won't blink green or red, just the yellow mode for ATTI. So I re-open the GPS, and I notice this gap below the orange shield thingy. A good shot of compressed air there and.... TADA ! GPS fixed ! Also I epoxied the whole device before closing, its now certified for a dive in the Mariana Trench |

Well, I have to say flying with a NAZA has been fun! I am putting my F450 aside and moving on to something else at least for a while!. I know the NAZA has no resale value so I will just keep it and who knows someday I may pull it out again!

Hydro's new power line faces delay
MMF, First Nations want review of revised route
Manitoba Hydro's new Bipole III transmission line could face a significant delay because of the utility's attempt to change its route -- to avoid fragile caribou and moose habitat -- without redoing its environmental assessment of the project.
That supplemental assessment would give First Nations and the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) an opportunity to study the new route and how it would impact their communities, but Hydro is concerned it could delay plans for a 2017 in-service date for the power line.
"It would certainly have impacts on the schedule we're desperately trying to maintain," Hydro spokesman Glenn Schneider said Thursday.
The Crown corporation tabled its revised route plans late last week with two major changes: the first to veer the line around the Wabowden woodland caribou grounds and the second around an area farther south known as moose meadows. The province recognized woodland caribou as threatened under the province's Endangered Species Act in June 2006 and some parts of western Manitoba are now closed to moose hunting because of low populations.
The 1,400-kilometre Bipole III line proposal is currently before the province's Clean Environment Commission (CEC) as it conducts public hearings on the line's environmental impact.
The CEC is powerless to compel Hydro to redo its environmental assessment on the revised route but urges the utility to offer more information for public review.
"I think it would be pretty necessary for participants to have some kind of an environmental assessment PDQ," CEC chairman Terry Sargeant said at a hearing earlier this week.
"I would say to Manitoba Hydro that we're on a very tight timeline right now. If we don't conclude these hearings by the end of November, we may be looking at January, the end of January before they are concluded."
The revised route has added more flames to the fire of the MMF's threatened court challenge against Bipole III, which could delay the project indefinitely.
The MMF and Pine Creek First Nation argue they have not been adequately consulted on the project by Hydro -- a legal requisite under Canada's constitution.
"Whether at the end of the day people are supportive of what the new route changes are or not is not the point," MMF lawyer Jason Madden said. "The point is government and Hydro don't get to go behind closed doors, make the changes and not come back out to the public and to aboriginal groups and say one, what do you think about the changes, and secondly, what are the environmental effects?"
The MMF and other groups want the CEC to adjourn its hearing until Hydro complies with the law. The CEC had planned to wrap up its hearing by month's end.
"It is my submission that the appropriate way to deal with this mess is to simply adjourn the hearing process until such time as Hydro has got its act together," Peguis First Nation lawyer Robert Dawson told the CEC panel Tuesday.
Regardless of what Hydro does or what the CEC says in its final report on Bipole III, the MMF has already signalled they will go to court to block the project.
"This isn't about Hydro's schedule," Madden said. "This is about fairness."
The MMF and Peguis First Nation say Bipole III will cut through their traditional lands. They say if it's built, they want a cut of the revenue it generates through surplus power exports to the United States.
Hydro negotiated a revenue-sharing deal with the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation on the recently completed Wuskwatim generation station near Thompson and is currently negotiating a similar agreement with four northern bands on the proposed Keeyask dam project.
Manitoba Hydro CEO Scott Thomson has said the province risks rolling blackouts and a potentially crippling hit to the economy if it doesn't go ahead with a $20-billion plan to build Bipole III, Keeyask and the Conawapa generating station.
The bipole line, estimated to cost $3.28 billion, is to run down the west side of the province and is intended to bring more reliability to Hydro's system, including meeting rising domestic demand in southern Manitoba.
Bipole III quotes
"I mean, I don't see how we can conclude these hearings until we have had a fair environmental assessment of what may well be the final route of this project."
-- Terry Sargeant, chairman of Manitoba's Clean Environment Commission
"This is not Etch-a-Sketch transmission routing. There needs to be an environmental assessment based upon the route that is before the commission. It's plain and simple."
-- Manitoba Metis Federation lawyer Jason Madden
"We have had no approach, no conversation, no contact from Manitoba Hydro to discuss or consider this. It has been up to us to pull teeth."
-- Pine Creek First Nation spokesman Warren Mills
"Ultimately, I think any participant who walks out of here should have only one feeling, shall we say, and that is that they were fairly treated."
-- Peguis First Nation lawyer Robert Dawson

Adolescence is one of the most challenging times of our lives — and, of course, the most fun. What do teens want to know about and ask about? It may be friends, TV, school, romance, music, peer pressure, cliques, proms, parties, gossip, parents, food, hair, videos, shopping, sports, card, the future — just to name a few. And there is nothing more fun for teens than asking friends and schoolmate questions about all these things.
With the same imaginative zeal that has made the If series so wildly popular, Evelyn MacFarlane and James Saywell engage teems with question such as:
If you could pick any three friends to go to college with, whom would you take?
If you could start a new fashion trend a school, what style would you propose?
If you could have any one super power, what would you choose?
If you were stranded on an island and could have one CD, movie, and book — what would they be?
If you could have starred in any music video in history, which would you pick?

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm planning to upgrade 220.127.116.11 to the latest stable version.
I will copy the live environment (files + database) and perform the update in the copy using the connect manager. I want to take my time for this upgrade because I read the're can be a lot of problems/issues (theme, extentions, core mods etc) that need to be addressed.
So when I finish fixing all problems the upgraded copy will work smoothly (I hope) and I can replace the live environment with the upgraded copy. That is: files only because the upgraded database will be outdated. So how to upgrade the live database?
I'm thinking of making a second copy of the live environment right before I actually start upgrading the live environment., upgrade this second copy using the connect manager and than copy the upgraded database back to the live environment together with the upgraded files of the first copy.
What do you think. Will this have a chance?
Thanks for your comments.
Hi, How did you get on with this project.
Cheers Ron
I finished this just a couple of days ago. It took me about 2 weeks before I had all problems solved. It was a hell of a lot of work and I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the functionality that I gained with this upgrade. But I had to because some extentions were not available for 126.96.36.199.
I changed my plan by the way: Copied a fresh 1.6.2 Magento zipfile and a copy of my live database to a new environment. Installing 1.6.2 automatically upgrades the 220.127.116.11 database to 1.6.2. as well. After that I installed the theme for 1.6.2 *). Than the bugfixing / reapplying core mod fase started which took me a lot of time. Part of it my own fault ofcourse because you should not modify the core. Record the things you do/change to this database because you have to repeat these later!
When I was satisfied with the result I upgraded the live database again (using another fresh 1.6.2 Magento zip file), and copied the files from the upgrade environment to production plus the most recent upgraded database as well. Last I applied the recorded changes to the database again. Taaadaaa.
*) I also copied (manually) my 184.108.40.206 extentions (source) to this 1.6.2 environment, and in my case most of these extensions still worked so that was lucky. If not I removed source and database-info manually.
We're also running 1.3.4 and it's been a daunting start to figure out the best way to go about this, especially with an established store. What I had thought about doing was to have the upgrade store parallel to the existing store...duplicate the database then start to work off of that. the biggest issues I see are both in the database upgrade and also then template itself. I can remember how much time it took to set up the store the first time.
Might be picking your brain for some thoughts!
I had similar problem and decided it in another way. I didn't upgrade my magento store I have migrated it. Actually much easier and faster. I used cart2cart http://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/ Pretty happy with it.

Light Show Lux. Rave Party Swain to go with it pls.
Bump. Also, I was able to make this Lux "VU" (http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com...0#post43793640) work, seems like the last version of SIU handles these problems just fine. So, if you want her to look all nice, you can use it.
Going off on a tangent, an idea that I've had to expand upon the Sailor Moon idea would be to turn it into a kind of Cosmic Lux. Obviously the sailor suit would still Lux's primary outfit, with a night sky kind of blue, but also to add a starfield effect to the singularity area and laser, kind of like Malz's Null Zone or Kassadin's spell effects. The singularity itself could be a black hole. Hopefully the darker effects would be enough to appease people who want a dedicated Dark Lux skin. Lux's wand would have stars on each end, and the binding would also be in the shape of a star.

Sonja Kristina (born 14 April 1949,[1] Brentwood, Essex, England) is an British songwriter, musician and actor, best known for starring in the seminal 1960s musical, Hair, and for being a rare female lead vocalist[2] of the 1970s progressive rock band, Curved Air.[3]
Kristina was born in Brentwood as Sonja Christina Shaw, [4] daughter of a criminologist and granddaughter of Swedish actress Gerda Lundequist.[5]
Kristina first appeared on stage at the Swan Folk Club in Romford at the age of thirteen. Her first professional gig was at a Folk Festival in Southgate, London a year or so later. By 1968, while studying at the New College of Speech and Drama, Kristina was helping to run, and performing at, the Wednesday evening sessions at London's Troubadour Folk Club. She was generally known on the folk scene as "Sonja" having previously appeared several times on the British children's TV show "Song and Story" under that name.[6] Her first manager was Roy Guest of Folk Directions.[7]
In 1968, Kristina auditioned for and won the part of "Crissy" in the London stage production of the stage musical Hair.[8] She features on the original cast album singing the song "Frank Mills", also released as a single.[6] She also briefly sang with The Strawbs, following the departure of Sandy Denny.[8][9] Dave Cousins remembered:
"Or Am I Dreaming" (on Strawbs LP) was very much inspired by the sessions I used to do at the Troubadour with Sonja Kristina .... When Sandy left the band Sonja was going to be her replacement, but she did one show with us at a folk club in Chelmsford, and that was it. The reprise was about the magic mountain music man, which was me... that was in the poem I wrote about her which was going to be in the book of my poems that was never released.
Cousins eventually published the book, called The Bruising of Hearts, The Losing Of Races, in 1993. It included a poem "Silver Smile", written for Kristina in the late 1960s.[10]
According to AllMusic, it was Galt McDermott, who wrote the music for Hair and another musical Who the Murderer Was, who employed the four members of Curved Air as a house band, who suggested when the stage show closed that they add Kristina to the line-up.[11] Another version has it that manager Mark Hanau had the idea Kristina's alto [12] vocals could become a vital ingredient in a new band.[6][13] On 1 January 1970 the singer received an official invitation to become a member of Curved Air. She remembered sitting backstage on the theatre stairs listening to a cassette of the band's music Hanau had given her, and being much impressed.[14] Described by Sting as a "real beauty, otherworldly and unattainable", [15] at a time when the progressive rock industry was known to be particularly misogynistic, Kristina played a full creative role bringing with it a powerful female sexuality.[16] Her experiences working in the London Playboy Club during the early 1970s, reflected itself in the stage persona she later developed.
Curved Air had a changing line-up over their nine albums (1970–1976 and 1990), with Kristina being the only constant element. Since 2008, she has taken part in a series of Curved Air reunion concerts.[8]
After Curved Air, she returned to Hair. She has also performed solo, including as part of the acid folk movement in London in the early 1990s, culminating in her critically acclaimed Songs from the Acid Folk in 1991,[8] and in a multi-media duo MASK, with Marvin Ayres.[17]
In 2008, Curved Air was reformed with other original members including Darryl Way and Florian Pilkington-Miksa and, later, Kirby Gregory from the 'Air Cut' line up. The band continues to record and perform internationally.[18]
Sonja Kristina has arrived on stage. Suddenly there is no band, no stage, no college kids. Just Sonja glinting in the green light. She moves like smoke across the stage, hardly seeming to move at all, but underdulating in slow motion. Who cares what the band is doing? As a muso I've never bothered with singers, considering them to be musical passengers/ How wrong I've been! She's not even singing yet, and she owns everything. - Stewart Copeland[19]
Including the London version of the musical Hair (1968),[20] Kristina has performed in numerous theatre and musical theatre productions from the early 1960s onwards, [21] including 'East Lynne' (1966),[22] a lead role in 'Romeo and Juliet',[21] 'Curriculee Curricular' (1978) with Dave Greenslade,[23] 'The French Have a Song For It' (1979) with Helen Shapiro, [24] 'Man to Woman' with Marsha Hunt (1982),[25] and 'Shona' [26]
In 1971, Kristina received the Sounds magazine Top Female Vocalist Award,[27] and in 2014 the 'Guiding Light Award' at the Progressive Music Awards. The award was presented by television broadcaster, and long-standing Curved Air fan, Katie Puckrik for helping pave the way for other female artists who followed, including Kate Bush, Heather Findlay, Anne-Marie Helder and others.[28]
Kristina married Malcolm Ross in 1971 and Stewart Copeland in 1982 with whom she had three sons; Sven, Jordan (of Hot Head Show) and Scott.[32] She became acquainted with Copeland while he was first road manager and then drummer for Curved Air (1974–1976). They divorced in 1991.[8]

The Grant County Braves came to New Castle on Feb. 3 and left with a 13-point win over the Henry County Wildcats that was closer than the final score indicated.
Henry County dominated in the opening minutes of the game with good rebounding and patient offense to open a 15-10 lead after one period of play. The Wildcats got seven points from center Gavin Jameson while Mason Heightchew and Trey Wills also had inside baskets.
Rebels' 21-0 run sinks Warriors
The Eminence Warriors traveled to Owenton to take on the Owen County Rebels Friday night having won seven of their last eight games and four straight district matchups.
In the early going the Warriors hung with the Rebels who held a 12-10 lead midway through the first period. The Rebels caught fire at that point and went on a 21-0 run that gave them a 33-10 lead early in the second period.
From that point, they cruised to a 85-51 win.
The Carroll County Panthers used smothering defense and efficient offense to open up a 19-0 lead on the Warriors and cruised to a 47-23 win Saturday.
The Warriors' first basket came with 3:50 left in the second period on a 17-footer by Madison Dockter. Dockter got the Warriors' only other basket of the first half on a put back. Carroll led at halftime 20-4.
The Henry County Lady Cats traveled to Warsaw Friday night to take on the Gallatin County Lady Wildcats and fell victim to hot shooting from Autumn Bowen and Hannah Dossett.
The Lady Cats put up a respectable 16 points in the first quarter but Bowen hit six of six 3-point attempts in the quarter to lead Gallatin to a 22-16 lead going into the second period. She finished with 20 points in the period and 28 points for the entire game.
Submitted Vickie Burgin won Ms. Kentucky Modern Woman this past weekend. Vickie was crowned queen after competing in KYB State Pageant at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville on January 30-Febuary 1. Vickie is a Henry County resident and is involved in many community charities. Vickie's platform was Relay for Life because she is a kidney cancer survivor. She wanted to help spread awareness and show that life can go on after fighting cancer and to never give up on your dreams. Vickie will compete June 11-14 for Ms. America Modern Woman.

Simple as it is, my first ever carport is doing its job — sparing me from the worst ravages of winter.
In the latest proof that "it's better to be lucky than good," the only move-in-ready house we could find in our relocation last year also provided an overhang just big enough to squeeze both our Chevys under.

Respond to Review of Mutter Erde

Review: It took us so long to find this market/deli, we ate somewhere else, then continued our search. However, the staff was very friendly, and the food smelled good, so your search should be rewarded. They also have a decent selection of vegan treats (cookies, candy).

Tony T United States Show all reviews | watered down this is simply too watered down. an ok fresh scent that does not last more than an hour. very light and airy notes that don't stand out. in the same line as the Gendarme scents.. Pros: ok for spring 04th August, 2013 |
cformosa4 Canada Show all reviews | Opening smells like sea water/sea salt, and lemon tonic. Then it quickly blends into its heart which is dominated by germanium and a light airy salty smell. The geranium in the scent gives it a slight spicy/peppery vibe to the florals. There is also a light light light wood scent. 27th July, 2011 |
Shifty Bat United States Show all reviews | Here is a scent I could only justify buying if I lived in a permanently hot climate, for Nautica's Oceans is weak. Very weak, in fact. This isn't a summer scent: this is a beach scent, almost exclusively. Being water-based, meaning no alcohol carrier in the mix, don't expect much in the way of longevity or sillage. Expect a pleasant aquatic lavender, lemon, and amber, colored with a really cool salt note that justifies the name. Not a great offering, but at least interesting, and a little refreshing for the hour or two it lasts. 13th April, 2011 |
The_Cologneist United States Show all reviews | A very nice tropical/lemon/rose/fruity mix, with a hint of lavender and spice. The first time I tried this on I got mediocre longevity.. around the 6 hour mark. But, the 2nd time this stuff lasted all day and all night, I could even smell it a little when I woke up.. Quite impressive in the longevity department for an aquatic type frag, but the longevity is temperamental, and varies.. some days I'll get 6 hours, others I'll get 18. On a day where I get 18 hours, (or smell it when I wake up in the morning) mind you, it's barely a fragrance at that point, it's very watered down, but still there, and still pleasing. 05th December, 2010 |
Galvatron77 Brazil Show all reviews | Fragrance Notes: 20th August, 2010 |
lespritz Canada Show all reviews | The best thing Nautica(Coty) has ever made! This smells very fresh, and you wouldn't guess it to be cheap...until you get to the longevity...which is seemingly non-existant. 03rd March, 2010 |

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Yzerman Decision Coming Soon
by Paul on 06/27/06 at 09:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
The 41-year-old Detroit Red Wings captain said Monday during an appearance at Fifth Third Ballpark that he should decide by Saturday whether he's retiring. "I'd like to do something soon because the Red Wings are trying to put their team together for the future. I don't see any reason to drag it out," Yzerman said before the second-half home opener for the West Michigan Whitecaps. "I think I can make a good argument for still playing or retiring. "I've debated back and forth. I should make that decision by July 1, which is the start of free agency, but that's deadline number five," he added with a smile. "The other deadlines have come and gone."more

Rails 2.3.5
If below I'm using either a default session value or (with priority) a form parameter, is there a way to write the code below to avoid a nil error?
<%= f.text_field :deliver_to_addr, :size => 100, :maxlength => 100, :value => params[:request][:delivery_to_address] || session[:address] %>
I worked around the problem by putting a logic block in the controller to come out with a single variable to hold what should be selected (below), but is there a simple way to get around this problem so I don't need a block of code every time I need to use a default value (session[:address] in this case)?
if !params[:request].blank?
if !params[:request][:delivery_to_address].blank?
@delivery_addr_to_select = params[:request][:delivery_to_address]
@delivery_addr_to_select = session[:address]
@delivery_addr_to_select = session[:address]

Advanced Search
Thinkronize this week added a new "21st Century Skills Channel" to its netTrekker d.i. educational search engine. Thinkronize, a developer of K-12 education technologies, said the addition came as a response to the challenge that K-12 schools are perceived as failing to supply students with skills they need to be effective members of the United States workforce. The announcement was made at the 2007 NECC show in Atlanta.
According to Thinkronize, the new channel is designed to help educators and students find resources covering three principal topics:
The service includes new custom Integration Models, which comprise lesson plans, "procedures to integrate the lesson plan with 21st century skills objectives," and model student projects. It also includes a digital literacy template, free software tools, and tutorials for popular digital media applications (iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, and Audacity).

Please stop this messSubmitted by d-man (not verified) on Tue, 05/11/2010 - 9:33pm.
I am a huge supporter of the fair tax and a former follower of Will. After the recent events and comments both during and after the primary election I can no longer believe in Will's message. I have a severe problem with the free gas giveaway and the childish name calling. This behavior will inevitably lead to another dem election win. Will, even Hilary got over it and supported Obama. Please look at the bigger picture and get out of the way!! »

Nice ring
By MARY370
from QUALICUM BEACH
2nd try to write this review. Other one seems to be missing? Black ring arrived with a stone missing along the edge, otherwise a lovely ring, fit perfectly. Too expensive to keep sending stuff back, so will fix it myself.

Love It
By MARGO
from DRYDEN
This ring looks expensive and appears well made. I had the package delivered to my workplace and 8 women gathered around my desk to look. I believe a couple of them went on line to buy it as well!
( 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
By Gilush
from Ontario
I ordered three rings this visit, and sent only one back. All three were gorgeous so it wasn't an easy choice. Everything in this line is fabulous, but I couldn't justify keeping all of the rings. I kept this particular ring because it is classy, eleigant, and glove friendly as we go into the colder weather. Gold seems to be "in", so this ring suited all my needs.

The Georgia Embayment continental shelf: stratigraphy of a submergence.
Geological Society of America Bulletin
- By:
- O.H. Pilkey, B. W. Blackwelder, H. J. Knebel, M.W. Ayers
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
The Holocene-Pleistocene sediment veneer is thin, generally less than 4m thick. Lagoon sediments deposited during the last regression or the Holocene transgression occur in patches on the inner and central shelf. During each transgression or submergence, the surficial sand sheet is recharged with a new biogenic carbonate fraction along with the addition of small amounts of clastic sediments derived from 'overrun' estuaries and erosion of underlying Tertiary sediments. The stratigraphy based on the vibracores supports the concept of cross-shelf migration of the shore face-barrier island systems in response to rising sea level. -from AuthorsAdditional Publication Details

An Unforgettable Evening With Wynton Marsalis, Family And Friends
It was obvious when Mr. Ellis Marsalis took a seat in the center of a sold-out audience last night at Loyola's Louis J. Roussel Performance Hall that the evening would be a special one. No one could have guessed that the performance by his son, Wynton, would turn into the once-in-a-lifetime event it became. The younger Marsalis, 51, performing as part of Loyola University's Presidential Centennial Guest Series, opened the set with his composition "Free to Be." Accompanying the nine-time Grammy-winning trumpeter and Managing and Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center was a world-class ensemble featuring Loyola alum Victor Goines (clarinet and saxophone), Carlos Henriquez (bass), Ali Jackson (drums), and Dan Nimmer (piano), who traded solos to resounding applause. Marsalis was thoughtful and gracious, grabbing a towel at stage left for Jackson, and musing at length on the importance of his upbringing, and the basic values of integrity and equality instilled in him by his father.

Decades-old Louis Armstrong recording unearthed
In 1971, not long before his death at age 69, the great Louis Armstrong—"Pops," to his friends—played at the National Press Club in Washington. It was his last public trumpet performance, and it was recorded by CBS. A few hundred copies were made—then it was pretty much forgotten. Now the recording has been re-discovered and it's being released. CBS News cultural correspondent and jazz great Wynton Marsalis gave it a listen. Keep reading »

50 great moments in jazz: Wynton Marsalis goes back to basics
Like Sonny Rollins, Keith Jarrett and the late Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis is one of a handful of jazz instrumentalists whose name is known beyond the world of the jazz cognoscenti. But unlike the other three, Marsalis has polarised opinion more than any other jazz artist of the last 30 years. A consummately skilful trumpeter, an ambitious large-scale composer and a shrewd campaigner for jazz, he has become one of the biggest international stars of a tradition that was already being marginalised by rock and pop-influenced jazz by the time he burst on to the scene as a teenage virtuoso in the early-80s.

"Life's Work: Wynton Marsalis" An Interview for the Harvard Business Review
Life's Work: Wynton Marsalis An Interview with Wynton Marsalis by Katherine Bell Wynton Marsalis grew up in a family of New Orleans jazz musicians and received his first trumpet as a sixth birthday present from bandleader Al Hirt. At 14 he debuted with the Louisiana Philharmonic; at 17 he moved to New York, where he attended Juilliard, joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, assembled his own band, and began a prolific composing and recording career. In 1987, Marsalis founded Jazz at Lincoln Center, which has grown into the world's biggest arts organization dedicated to Jazz. Why did you pick the trumpet?… Keep reading »

First Image Of The Walking Dead's New Character 'Bob Stookey'Reported by Outsiders - 12:42 PM 2013.07.17
We'll be seeing some new faces come this season on The Walking Dead and Entertainment Weekly has debuted the official image for newcomer Bob Stookey, played by Lawrence Gilliard Jr. The character of Stookey for the TV series will be a former Army medic but he will not hail from Woodbury as in the comic book.
His backstory is not entirely the same as in the comic and the novel, explains new showrunner Scott M. Gimple. Stookey will be found by Daryl Dixon about a week before events pick up in season 4. I think hes seen things go bad over and over, and winding up in this stable place doesnt shake him from his experience. He struggles with that. You can see theres something deeper and darker thats going on with this character, just from the first episode, says Gilliard. We dont really know what it is. We just know hes got some issues that hes dealing with. Commentsblog comments powered by DisqusMORE television NEWS |
