Hong Kong, 2011: The Lost BladesmanGuan Yun Chang
The Lost Bladesman
Hong Kong, 2011
Genre: Action, Historical
109 minutes
Torn between love and loyalties, the legendary General Guan Yu must fight his way to peace.
Written and directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong, the pair that created the Infernal Affairs trilogy, The Lost Bladesman explores the journey of Guan Gong through the Five Passes, based on the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although many were surprised to see Donnie Yen in the lead role, he delivers a solid performance, more than making up for not quite looking the part. Though the role doesnt let him display much range or character development, it does allow him to give a sophisticated and nuanced performance. Unfortunately, the story itself is choppy and difficult to follow, which overshadows Yens best efforts. The plot is overly complicated, with too many characters and cities, and spending time going into their political relationships seems much more suited to literature than film. The actual dialogue itself isnt that bad, with some clever lines and giving good depth to the major players. Jiang Wen as the warlord Cao Cao was fantastically intriguing, and definitely steals the spotlight in every scene hes in.
Director of photography Chi Ying Chan took a lot of chances with this project, and not all of them were successful. The very ambitious shooting was perhaps a bit too artful without focusing on the needs of the story first. Though there are places where Chans work shines, it doesnt make up for the others that are too experimental for their own good. It didnt help that the editing was more than a little sloppy, making it even more difficult to follow the action on screen. The art design was historic and appropriate, but felt a bit generic and lacked anything really innovative or interesting. This might be in the interest of period accuracy, but for a story this epic, I was expecting a bit more flavor. The score and sound design are fittingly heavy and powerful, surprisingly generating a lot more interest than the visuals.
In addition to starring in the lead role, Donnie Yen also took the reins for action director, along with collaborator Hua Yan. Although some of the larger battle sequences felt a bit simplistic, the smaller scale fights were amazing. The choreography was clever and very creative, taking advantage of both the sets and audience expectations. The combat felt legendary and larger than life, which was exactly what it needed to be. This is definitely not an elegant adaptation the classic tale, but it is still a worthwhile one. The Lost Bladesman is the Guan Yu movie youve been waiting for, give this one a shot.

Movies like this always remind me that China is a nation of unfathomable depth to most of us here in the west. I could spend 20 years learning about its stories and still be missing out on vast swaths of culture.
More movies targeted at 'mericans, please. Especially since we'll probably be at war with you guys sometime in the future.

Stronger ocean currents beneath West Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf are eroding the ice from below, speeding the melting of the glacier as a whole, according to a new study in Nature Geoscience. A growing cavity beneath the ice shelf has allowed more warm water to melt the ice, the researchers say—a process that feeds back into the ongoing rise in global sea levels. The glacier is currently sliding into the sea at a clip of four kilometers (2.5 miles) a year, while its ice shelf is melting at about 80 cubic kilometers a year - 50 percent faster than it was in the early 1990s - the paper estimates.

Surgical Treatment Options
The goal of surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is to open the space for the spinal cord. This involves removing the parts of bone or soft tissue that are pressing on the cord.
Your surgeon will consider many options regarding treatment for cervical myelopathy, including your overall health, and will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of surgical interventions.
People who have progressive neurologic changes (such as weakness, numbness, or falling) with signs of severe spinal cord compression or spinal cord swelling are candidates for surgery. Patients with severe or disabling pain may also be helped with surgery.
People who experience better surgical outcomes often have these characteristics:
- The symptom of an electrical sensation that runs down the back and into the limbs
- Younger age
- Shorter duration of symptoms
- Single rather than multiple areas of involvement
- Larger areas available for the cord
There are many successful surgical techniques for treating CSM. The goal of surgery is to open the space for the spinal cord, or "decompress" the spinal canal. The decompression is performed either from the front of your neck (anterior) or the back (posterior). Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages (see table below) and these should be discussed with your surgeon. Neither surgical approach is ideal for every patient.
Anterior Approach
An anterior surgical approach involves operating from the front of the neck through a 1- to 2-inch incision along the neck crease. Neck surgery from the front involves removing the disks (diskectomy) or the bones (corpectomy) that are pressing on the spinal cord. The bones are then fused back together with a bone graft.
Anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion. During this procedure, your surgeon removes the problem disk. The area left over is stretched, so that the height is similar to what it was prior to the disk wearing out. A bone graft is placed in the space where the disk was removed.
Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion. This procedure is similar to diskectomy, except that the vertebra is removed and replaced by bone graft material.
In some cases, both disk and bone may be pressing on the spinal cord. A combination of diskectomy and corpectomy may be performed.
Removing a disk or vertebra requires stabilizing the spine through fusion. Spinal fusion is essentially a "welding" process. The basic idea is to fuse together spinal bones (vertebrae) so that they heal into a single, solid bone.
Fusion will take away some spinal flexibility. The degree of limitation depends upon how many spine segments or "levels" are involved.
In addition to fusion, metal plates and screws are commonly used to help keep the bones in place.

Bone graft. Bone graft material is used to fill in the space left after the disk is removed. It is also placed along the sides of the vertebrae to assist the fusion. A bone graft is primarily used to stimulate bone healing. It increases bone production and helps the vertebrae heal together into a solid bone.
A bone graft can be obtained from the patient's hip. This type of graft is called an autograft. Harvesting a bone graft requires an additional incision during the operation. It lengthens surgery and can cause increased pain after the operation.
Although autografts are considered the gold-standard and provide a high union rate, disadvantages include prolonged pain at the donor site for some people, as well as fracture and infection.
One alternative to harvesting a bone graft is an allograft, which is cadaver bone. An allograft is typically acquired through a bone bank.
The use of allograft has grown because it avoids the risk of pain at the donor site. Several artificial bone graft materials have also been developed. There are risks and benefits for all types of bone grafts, and your surgeon will discuss these with you.
Posterior Approach
The posterior approach involves an incision along the midline of the back of the neck. Surgery may include laminectomy or laminoplasty. These procedures are often also accompanied by spinal fusion.
Laminectomy. This procedure involves removing the bony arch (lamina), any bone spurs, and ligaments that are compressing the spinal cord. Laminectomy relieves pressure on the spinal cord by providing extra space for it to drift backward.
Laminectomy ensures complete decompression of the spinal cord, but makes the bones less stable. This requires fusion with a bone graft and possibly screws and rods.
Posterior laminectomy is ideal for people with very small spinal canals, enlarged or swollen soft tissues at the back of the spine, and problems in more than four spine segments or levels. These approaches cannot be used in patients with kyphotic (bent forward) spines, since the cord will not shift backwards.
Laminoplasty. An alternative to laminectomy is a procedure that hinges the lamina open, without complete removal of the bone. Laminoplasty can expand the spinal canal and also allows your surgeon to address adjacent spine segments (levels) that are mildly affected.
Laminoplasty preserves 30 to 50% of motion at the involved levels. This is more than laminectomy or anterior surgery. Because pain is often related to motion, laminoplasty is not intended for patients with neck pain. This is because motion still occurs after the procedure.
Laminoplasty does not ensure that the spinal canal will be completely open for the spinal cord. Another disadvantage is that in some cases, the lamina that is hinged open can inadvertantly close.
Select patients will require combined anterior and posterior approaches to ensure the best outcome, such as patients with:
- Fixed or severe kyphosis (abnormal cervical spine curvature)
- Severe osteoporosis which weakens the bone
- Multiple levels of involvement requiring supplemental stabilization
|Anterior Approach
|Posterior Approach
As with any surgery, there are accompanying risks. Possible complications can be related to the approach, healing, the graft, and long-term changes. Your doctor will discuss potential risks with you when discussing consent for the surgery.
Elderly patients have higher rates of complications from surgery. So do overweight patients, diabetics, smokers, and patients with multiple medical problems.
General Risks
The potential risks for cervical spine surgery include;
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Injury to the nerves
- Injury to the spinal cord
- Reactions to anesthesia
- Need for additional surgery in the future
- Failure to relieve symptoms
- Tear of the sac covering the nerves (dural tear)
Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery Risks
The potential risks specific to anterior cervical spine surgery include:
- Misplaced, broken, or loosened plates and screws
- Soreness or difficulty with swallowing
- Voice changes
- Difficulty breathing
- Injury to the esophagus
- Degeneration of disk levels above or below the surgery level
- Fibrous union
The potential risks specific to anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion include:
- Graft related complications, including hip pain (if an autograft is used), dislodgement, fracture, or severe settling
- Nonunion of vertebral body fusion
Posterior Cervical Spine Surgery Risks
The potential risks for posterior cervical spine surgery include:
- Degeneration of disk levels above or below surgery level
- Injury to the vertebral artery
- Stretch on the nerves from the spinal cord drifting backwards
After surgery, it is typical to spend one or two days in the hospital, although it really depends on how you respond to the surgery and how many disk levels were involved.
Spinal fusion may take six to 12 months for the bone to become solid. Because of this, your surgeon will provide specific restrictions for some time period after your surgery (wearing a collar, lifting restrictions, for example).
You will be able to walk and eat on the first day. It is normal to have difficulty swallowing solid foods for a few weeks, or have some hoarseness following anterior cervical surgery.
You may need to wear a soft or a rigid color at first. How long you should wear it will depend on the type of surgery you had. Your surgeon will likely encourage you to begin walking as soon as possible.
New Symptoms
Depending on the extent of your surgery and number of spine levels fused, you may notice some neck stiffness or loss of motion. Also, as nerves begin to awaken following surgery, you may experience different nerve symptoms or feelings. This is normal and will often continue to improve for one to two years after surgery.
If nerve symptoms and pain progressively worsen, or you have any wound problems, you should contact your surgeon.
Physical Therapy
Usually by four to six weeks, you can gradually begin to do range of motion and strengthening exercises. Your doctor may prescribe physical therapy during the recovery period to help you regain full function.
Return to Work
Most people are able to return to a desk job within a few days to a few weeks after surgery. They may be able to go back to all daily activities by three to four months, depending on the procedure.
Discharge Instructions
Typical discharge instructions after surgery are below. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions according to the procedure you have had.
- Time spent walking or sitting in chairs is unlimited.
- Incisions should be checked for signs and symptoms of infection: drainage, fever >101.5 degrees, flu-like symptoms, increased redness/ tenderness/ swelling at the surgical site.
- Staples/ sutures can be removed at the follow-up visit in the office around two weeks after surgery.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory medication for six weeks following surgery.
- Do not lift anything greater than 10-15 lbs.
- Do not drive a car until cleared by physician.
The primary goal of surgery for CSM, regardless of approach, is to stabilize the spine and prevent neurologic problems from getting worse. The goal is not necessarily to restore normal function. A secondary goal is potentially improving the associated neck pain, motor (weakness), sensory (numbness/tingling), and gait (walking) disturbances.
Final outcomes from the surgery vary. Typically, one-third of patients improve, one-third stay the same, and one-third continue to worsen over time, with respect to their pre-surgical symptoms.
People with CSM are recommended for surgery to make sure that their symptoms do not get worse. In most cases, the symptoms they have going into the operating room are what they will have afterwards. Your surgeon will discuss this with you and provide some information on what the likelihood is of improvement in your situation.

I had severe pre-eclampsia/HELLP with my oldest daughter 25 years ago and she was born at 28 weeks. She had severe pre-eclampsia with her first who was also born at 28 weeks (less than two years ago). My daughter is now preganant again with her second (currently 20 weeks gestation), and living in Germany while her husband is serving in the Army. They have planned a home visit to the US for Thanksgiving/Christmas, but my daughter will be 22 weeks pregnant upon arrival. She is very tired and plans to stay for the duration of her pregnancy (caring for a toddler with no support, other than her husband who works long hours in the military); she has recently (past couple days) noticed swelling in her feet. She has a Dr. appt. in 4 days, and is supposed to have her FIRST ultrasound.
For obvious reasons, I'm VERY worried and nervous. I'm waiting to see what her blood pressure and protein level is on Tuesday -- She needs to be with a specialist and I'm wondering if she will be OK to travel? She feels certain her husband can not leave any sooner which means they are a little over two weeks away from departing Germany for the US. I know there is no crystal ball, but will she be OK to fly? I'm thinking she would be best to be on BP meds prior to departure, but wanted to see what the 'experts' recommendation would be. I'm having a difficult time being so far away and am not sure what to do! PLEASE RESPOND!

The Detroit-based basketball team has a history of hard-fought play which has earned them numerous championship titles. As one of the most elite franchises in the National Basketball Association, they have achieved the fifth most wins in league history and have the sixth most playoff appearances of any team in the NBA. Will the Pistons own it and take the season by the horns? Buy your
Detroit Pistons tickets
today so that a moment of the action doesn't slip through your fingers unseen!
The franchise joined the NBA in 1948 as the Ft. Wayne Pistons and relocated to Detroit during the 1957-58 season. Like many teams that relocate, the Pistons had difficulty finding their footing in their new home. Once the team did sink their heels in to the ground there was no stopping them. With the assist of players like point guard Isiah Thomas, center Bill Laimbeer and guard Vinnie Johnson, the Pistons found themselves in the playoffs on a consistent basis. With the team's restored success came renewed rivals in the
Chicago Bulls
and the
Indiana Pacers
. The franchise has won three World Championships, fourth most among NBA teams, and some of the greatest players ever to play the game have appeared in a Pistons uniform.
Opening in 1988, the Detroit Pistons play their home games at the fabulous Palace of Auburn Hills. Whether a Pistons fan or just a basketball lover, head to the Hills to enjoy some great basketball play! This season could belong to the Detroit Pistons, so make sure that you are courtside to take in the action!

Men's Basketball Preview
- Release Date:
- November 7, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Things are looking up for the Hilbert College Men's Basketball team after a strong finish last winter. A preseason pick to finish dead-last in the Alleghany Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC), the 2010-11 Hawks 12-15 (8-10) put teams on notice by finishing fourth and advancing to the conference tournament semifinals. This year's team looks to build on that success and keep the momentum moving forward. Highlighted by the return of eight veterans, including three starters, the Hawks should be a tough opponent on any given night.
Senior Chris Parrott and junior Dan McFarland lead the way for tenth year head coach Rob deGrandpre. Last winter, Parrott averaged 12.9 ppg and paced the Hawks in rebounding with 7.0 per game. A do-it-all forward, the 6'5 inside-out threat combined with McFarland to register 85 steals in his sophomore campaign. The 6'1 McFarland earned Second Team All-Conference honors last season and led the Hawks in scoring with 16.6 ppg while grabbing 4.1 rpg. "Chris and Dan are now seasoned veterans and will be counted on to lead us on both ends of the floor," stated deGrandpre. "They're both becoming complete players and are fundamentally prepared to make us competitive night in and night out."
Pulling in conference accolades as well in 2010-11 was sophomore CJ Hodge who garnished AMCC Newcomer of the Year honors. Hodge started every game for the Hawks while playing both guard spots and averaged 8.0 ppg and 4.3 apg. A tenacious defender, Hodge paced the Hawks in steals with a 51 thefts to his credit. "CJ makes us go," added deGrandpre. "He's a tough on the ball defender and has a very good understanding of how to run our offense."
A pair of senior guards, 6'0 Mike Maritato and 6'2 Chris Hoak will be looked to for scoring and defense on the perimeter. Maritato started 7 games last season and like Hoak, can score from the perimeter where both guards shot better than 37% from beyond the arc.
Inside, the Hawks have three experienced sophomores in 6'5 Barry Mason, 6'5 Jordan VanDunk and 6'5 Shaquille Gonsalves. Mason posted 2.6 ppg and 2.1 rpg last year and looks to improve upon those numbers. Van Dunk is returning from a season that was hampered by nagging injuries buts looks to be at full strength now and is primed to contribute immediately. A spark off the bench last winter, Gonsalves can fill in both inside and on the perimeter.
Two transfers bring a variety of experience and should provide help immediately. One-time Hawk Cody Troutman is back after a year off and hopes to build upon a solid 2009-10 outing that saw the 6'0 guard average 9.3 ppg while dishing out 78 assists. 6'3 Isaac Bushey arrives via Jefferson Community College and provides and aggressive style of play at both ends of the floor from the small forward position.
deGrandpre's staff also added four freshman starting with 6'10 center Mike Jones and 6'6 forward Ryan Brewster. Both rookies will be looked to in the middle for interior scoring, rebounding and defense. They are joined by a pair of guards in 5'10 Trevor Stark and 5'11 Rob Cuomo. "All of our new players have shown that they are confident and composed to contribute when called upon," said deGrandpre.
The season gets underway November 12th as Hilbert plays host to Durham College out of Canada in an exhibition game at the Hafner Recreation Center. The first regular season game is slated for Tuesday, November 15th at Nazareth College, before the Hawks open at home against Keuka College in the Hilbert College Tip-Off Tournament November 18th and 19th. Before the team breaks to celebrate Thanksgiving, they travel to Oberlin College for a 7pm contest November 22.
The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) members will hold their men's basketball game prior to the women's games for the 2011-12 season and on November 26th, Hilbert hosts their first double header home contest against Alfred University. November ends with a double-header road contest at Cazenovia College where the women's team will play the prelim to the men's game. The last non-conference game on the Hawks schedule is December 17 when they host Marywood University.
Hilbert plays three AMCC games in the fall semester (La Roche, Penn State Behrend and Pitt-Greensburg) before they take a break for the holidays. The Hawks open 2012 with a home contest against cross-town rival Medaille College (January 4) before they hit the road for three league games. Hilbert plays their only other home game over the semester break when they host Mount Aloysius January 14. After classes resume in January, the Hawks finish their league schedule with six home games and travel for three road matches.
Rejoining deGrandpre on the side lines are Mick Fallis, Garrett Hall and Malcolm Edwards.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

I finished it right before my trip and ended up wearing it a lot. Like I said, I am not happy with how the photos turned out. After tasting wine, I simply forgot to check the settings on my camera and also forgot that little rule about how photos turn out better if not taken in direct sunlight. However, I really don't feel like retrying to take photos, so here you go.
I love so much about this sweater, the long ribbing in the sleeves, the ribbing in the back waist, the low neckline, the circle pattern on the side, and of course the yarn. I even thought that if you wanted to omit the asymmetrical aspect on the right side, it would still look great. And on size 8 needles it was a pretty fast knit.

Topic: Orange Ekstraklasa
This is going to be a very interesting weekend for polish Orange Ekstraklasa. We will have a few games that are really very important in polish football.
First, and the most important is:
Lech Pozna? - Legia Warszawa
Legia is leading in the table. They have lost just one game so far, against Korona Kielce. Last round at home they beat GKS Belchatow 4:1.
Lech is currently on 4th position. They won last round with Odra Wodzislaw 2:1.
What is really important here is that those clubs are like Arsenal and Manchester United in Poland. They have huge tradition and for years they have been on top of polish clubs.
We will have over 25 000 fans watching this game in Poznan. This is a very big number as for Polish Orange Ekstraklasa.
It is really hard to predict the score.
I believe that Lech is good enough to get a win. I will bet on them but at low stakes.
Widzew - LKS - The derby of Lodz.
Both teams are very well known in Poland. This year they are not so impressive with some big troubles with money, but the game between them is always special.
As for me both teams are equal. As this is derby game a draw is very likely. I will bet on 1X here.
Korona Kielce - Cracovia
Korona won their last two games. Against Legia at home and then away with LKS. They are in good shape and at home they should get next 3 points.
Cracovia is a good team. They won at home with Zaglebie Sosnowiec last round. Here in Kielce I don't see them getting a point.
Korona for a win.
Wisla Krakow - Jagiellonia
This is one of the safest picks. Wisla should crash Jagiellonia as they are fighting with Legia for the first place. Legia has a hard game with Lech. So Wisla should use the situation to get easy points and wait for Legia's game.
Wisla for a win, and with handicap or over 2,5.

Top 7 Sexiest Green Cars From the 2011 Detroit Auto Show!
Porsche 918 RSR Hybrid Race Car
Porsche kicked off the Detroit Auto Show with a bang as they unveiled the pulse-pounding 918 RSR, a brand new powerhouse hybrid racer. The smoothly sculpted 767 horsepower behemoth builds upon Porsche's award-winning 911 GT3 R Hybrid with a flywheel speed booster, two electric front-wheel drive motors, and an ultra lightweight carbon fiber monocoque shell.
Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell Electric Car
Not to be outshone in the luxury auto market, Mercedes-Benz rolled out the SLS AMG E-Cell, a supercharged gull-wing ev with an electric paint job to match. This emission-free speed demon is propelled by four electric motors that produce a whopping 526 horsepower and 649 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the race-ready Porsche 918 RSR, you may actually see the E-Cell on city streets – it's set to hit dealerships in 2013.

None of these cars are Tesla beaters. The Tesla Roadster is a damn quick car, and quicker than any of these are claiming they will be. But they have the advantage of a name brand behind them. So I wouldn't be surprised if they outsell the Teslas, even at their inflated price.
January 20, 2011 at 2:33 pm
yes the racecars are sexy, but kinda like dreaming about a super-model when you could be happy with building your own TODAY. I built one by recycling a drab Suzuki Swift, and I think it is sexy in its own right because I actually get to use it rather than just dream about it. see how at www dot envirokarma dot org.

I thought the Tesla vehicles were pretty foxy, too.

Picture the serene beauty of the English countryside.
It's a beautiful Spring day. The sun has finally made an appearance and the daffodils are emerging from their sleep. We are heading out as a family for a nice
stress stretch. A Sunday strife stroll with the dogs. What could be more relaxing?
Lambs are skipping, rabbits are a-scurrying and the busy white waters of the river at Hardcastle Crags are flowing swiftly over the stones.
Cue the arrival of Family Calamity.
My boys are separated by seven years and a vast chasm of understanding.
They love, they hate, they love to hate. They fight about nothing. It's all become so predictable that I can now close my eyes and orchestrate the oncoming series of events before it even happens. It goes something like this:-
1. Junior finds a stick
2. Senior takes the stick
3. Senior is asked to give back said stick or face the consequences
4. Senior ignores parent and carries on regardless. Also intermittently poking Junior with the stick when he thinks parents aren't looking (and has forgotten that Junior has had the power of speech for some years now)
5. Junior cries. No, scratch that. Junior wails like a Banshee
6. Senior gets grounded
7. Senior gives Junior a 'dig' for getting him into trouble
8. Mummy has a colossal hissy fit in the middle of the National Trust landscape and wonders out loud why her family appear to be the only people not peacefully meandering along enjoying the sounds of the British springtime…
….and so the cycle repeats itself endlessly.
Is it just me?
Anyway, Hardcastle Crags, near Hebden Bridge. What a doozy. At least the dogs enjoyed it!

Ranger Heritage
The Yellowstone Park Foundation supports projects that promote the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of rangers, and preserves the tradition of rangers in Yellowstone.Donate »
Photo Credit: NPS
Funding Needed: $20,000 (Funded)
Support can ensure that Yellowstone Rangers and horses are better equipped for the important work they perform, such as Ranger patrols, carrying firefighting equipment, search-and-rescue supplies, and trail building materials.Learn MoreDonate
Search, Observe and Report
Photo Credit: NPS
Funding Needed: $5,000 Annually
Aircraft surveillance is an important tool for monitoring Yellowstone's backcountry areas and its remote perimeter. Flights have found unknown camps close to the Park's boundaries, helping field rangers on the ground focus their patrol efforts in order to identify unknown hunting camps, and stop illegal snowmobile activity in sensitive thermal areas.
Bechler Trail Removal

Funding Needed: $38,100 (Funded)
This illegal trail will be removed, and the damaged area restored. Travel across these backcountry areas will then only be open to visitors who practice leave-no-trace principles.
Security Systems for Entrances
Photo Credit: Matt Ludin
Funding Needed: $170,000
The goal of this program is to continue to enhance the Park's capability to protect resources and visitors from criminal activity by adding high-tech equipment that will help identify and capture criminals. This project will also aid in the distribution of "Be on the Lookouts" for stolen vehicles and other felony and misdemeanor activities, and assist in search and rescue incidents.
Campground Host Golf Carts

Funding Needed: $20,000
Campground hosts use golf carts to complete their daily work, and are used in highly trafficked public areas. The new carts will contribute to the Park's green transportation vehicle fleet.
Bertram Boat Restoration

Funding Needed: $150,000 (Funded)
The Bertram Boat is used for rough water emergency operations on Yellowstone Lake. Not only is it an outstanding emergency response boat, but it is a piece of Yellowstone history, with significant operational value. It has shuttled countless rescuers, firefighters, VIPs and Rangers over the last 47 years. Restoration of this boat is critical, since no boat manufacturers today are building boats with the same capabilities.
Yellowstone Corral Projects
Photo Credit: NPS
In 2008, YPF donors -- led by ARCH Venture Partners employees and friends -- helped fund a partnership that brings rangers and volunteers together for an annual week-long work project. Since then, volunteers and Yellowstone staff have contributed long hours on a major corral restoration project in the Park. Patrolling the backcountry and monitoring trails activity and scientific field work requires support from stock animals kept at operational bases near developed areas. With additional help from the Wounded Warrior Project/Disabled Sports USA volunteers since 2009, significant corral improvements have made rangers' work and stock alike safer and more efficient. The partners rebuilt the West Corral in fall 2011, and in 2012 and 2013 volunteers and Park staff worked to rebuild corrals at the Lake Ranger Station. Advance donations are welcome as project materials are funded by private donations.
