Ecoregions of Chile
Southern Andean steppe meets glacial meltwater, Torres del Paine National Park. @ C.Michael Hogan
Chile has eight ecoregions that occur entirely or partly within its borders on the mainland and three ecorgions offshore:
- Sechura desert
- Atacama desert
- Central Andean dry puna
- Chilean matorral
- Southern Andean steppe
- Valdivian temperate forests
- Patagonian steppe
- Magellanic subpolar forests
Off the mainland:
- San Félix-San Ambrosio Islands temperate forests
- Juan Fernández Islands temperate forests
- Rapa Nui and Sala-y-Gomez subtropical broadleaf forests
Chile is bordered by the Humboldt Current large marine ecosystem.
Sechura desert
The Sechura desert is the most extensive desert strip on the western coast of South America. This ecoregion occupies the western subtropical portion of South America in the form of a longitudial coastal strip that extends along 2000 kilometers of Peruvian territory and just over the boder into most northern part of Chile.
Although it has been subject to much intervention, it still contains singular plant associations that shelter species endemic to the desert such as lomas vegetation. The ecoregion also serves as an important corridor for migratory birds. Human population density is high in this area and although there are a few protected parks, urban expansion poses a major threat to this ecoregion.
Atacama desert
The Atacama Desert ecoregion occupies a continuous strip for nearly 1600 km along the narrow coast of the northern third of Chile from near Arica (18°24' S) southward to near La Serena (29°55' S). This desert is a sparsely populated virtually rainless plateau, running east from the Pacific Ocean to the Andes Mountains. The average width is less than 100 km.
In many areas rainfall has never been recorded, and the Atacama is considered one of the driest deserts in the world. Consequently, an extremely arid, almost barren, landscape predominates.
Despite the aridity of this desert, some cacti (Eulychnia), perennials (Nolana), and mesquite (Prosopis) occur in basins where occasional water accumulation occurs. Relatively few animal species have adapted to this arid environment and therefore, faunal diversity and density is extremely low. Even bacteria are scarce, and in many portions of the desert insects and fungi are absent. The intrinsic value of the Atacama Desert's plant and animal communities lies in the unique nature of their composition, the high levels of endemism and remarkable species adaptations for survival in some of the Earth's most demanding abiotic conditions.
The region has been moderately affected by roads and mining operations. The northern area of the ecoregion has been especially affected by overgrazing of domestic livestock, collection of firewood, and commercial gathering of rare plants, including the Chilean wine palm, various cacti and bulbs.
Some nearby areas have archaeological importance. The beauty and rarity of the lomas formations provide opportunities for tourism combined with scientific studies. If the impact on the delicate communities is controlled through supervision, lomas formations can be enjoyed by the public and preserved. Environmental education on the importance, rarity, and the unusual characteristics of these natural resources is desperately needed. For example, Quebrada El León needs some recuperation from overuse and could become a lasting and informative oasis as a nature reserve for residents of Caldera and Copiapó.
Atacama Desert, Chile. Source: NASA Three protected areas exist within the extreme desert region. Pan de Azúcar National Park (established in 1986, IUCN category II) covers 438 square kilometers (km2). It has been recommended that this park be expanded northward to include Quebrada Esmeralda (25°50' S) and Quebrada de Las Lozas (25°41' S), which would protect areas very rich in cacti diversity. La Chimba National Reserve (IUCN category IV) of 30 km2 was recently established and lies approximately 15 km north of Antofagasta. Pampa del Tamarugal National Reserve, 1023 km2 in size, is one of the key areas for the conservation of the threatened tamarugo conebill (Conirostrum tamarugense).
Central Andean dry puna
The Central Andean Dry Puna is located in the southern part of the Andean Cordillera Occidental in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile. The area encompasses snow-capped peaks, volcanoes, salt flats, lagoons, and high plateaus. The ecoregion includes the provinces of Tarapaca, Antofagasta, and Atacama in Chile.
The vegetation is characteristically tropical alpine herbs with dwarf shrubs, and occurs above 3,500 meters (m) between the tree-line and the permanent snow-line. Dry puna is distinguished from other types of puna by its annual rainfall, or lack of rainfall. This ecoregion receives less than 400 millimeters (mm) of rainfall each year, and is very seasonal with an eight-month long dry season.
The Central Andean Dry Puna is a unique ecoregion with flora and fauna highly adapted to the extreme temperatures and altitudes. The region contains forests of Polylepis, the only arborescent genus that occurs naturally at high elevations. Various species of Andean camelids are also found in this region.
The Andean puna has been highly affected by livestock grazing for centuries. The natural vegetation] has been severely affected by grazing, burning, firewood collection, and clearance for cultivation. The camelids, goats and sheep in the area degrade the herbaceous vegetation, making the life cycle for the plants difficult to complete. The clearing of Polylepis forest for agriculture, firewood collection, and burning for pasture is an important threat to the endemic fauna, especially birds.
Chilean matorral
Parque Nacional de Campana, Chile Photograph by David Olson The Chilean matorral constitutes a 100 kilometer-wide strip extending along the central part of the Chilean coast.
The region has various endemic plant species with affinities to the tropics, the Antarctic and the Andes. About 95% of the plant species are Chilean endemic, including Gomortega keule, Pitavia punctata, Nothofagus alessandrii and Jubaea chilensis. The Chilean matorral has several threatened plant species; some endangered species are Adiantum gertrudis, Avellanita bustillosii and Beilschmiedia berteroana.
There are a significant number of endemic reptiles found in habitats ranging from rocky slopes to arid scrub.
The ecoregion has been severely affected by fire, mining, deforestation, overgrazing, garbage dumps, urbanization, air pollution, water pollution and soil contamination. Unfortunately this ecoregion is the least protected region in Chile.
Southern Andean steppe
The Southern Andean steppe ecoregion forms a continuous region along the dry southern Andes from Catamarca, La Rioja, San Juan, Mendoza and Neuquén provinces of Argentina and limiting areas of Chile between latitudes 27°S and 39°S. At these latitudes the Andes are formed by several parallel ranges, the most important being the Cordillera Principal, the Cordillera Frontal and the Precordillera from west to east.
The Andean steppe limits to the north with the central Andean punas and to the south with the Valdivian temperate forest and the Patagonian steppe, but it also extends as interrupted islands over mountains of these regions forming complex ecotones. The eastern limit is the transition to the lower altitude and warmer Argentine Monte desert, and the western limit to the lower Chilean matorral and Chilean winter-rain forest. The lower altitudinal limits of the ecoregion range from approximately 3500 meters (m) in the north to 1800 m in the south.
This ecoregion has its terrain at high altitudes that are not suitable for farming, and has several more or less protected areas through all its length, so there has been relatively little anthropogenic habitat loss in the area.
The south Andean steppe is not seriously threatened by habitat conversion at the present time. However, a marked increase in ecotourism and mountain sports such as climbing or skiing can be observed on several major mountains of the region.
Valdivian temperate forests
Alerce trees, Lenca, Chile Photograph by Marco Cortez This ecoregion is located in the southern cone of South America. It covers a narrow continental strip between the western slope of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, running from 35° to 48° south latitude.
The Valdivian temperate forests and the more hygrophilous vegetation of the Mediterranean area of central Chile, represent a true biogeographic island separated from climatically similar areas by extensive ocean barriers and deserts.
The Valdivian temperate forest is characterized by its extraordinary endemism (e.g., 90% at the species level and 34% at the genus level for woody species) and the great antiquity of its biogeographic relationships.
Its taxons show close philogenetic relationships dating back to the early Tertiary, with Gondwanic taxons of Oceania forming more recent relationships with Neotropical taxons, separated from other biotas in South America by the great mountainous barrier of the Andes.
The region's ecosystems are frequently threatened and degraded. Urgent action has been recommended to restore the area's ecology and to preserve its remaining habitats.
Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, most of the area defined as the Valvidian ecoregion was effectively covered by forests with few open areas being cultivated by indigenous Mapuche groups. Currently, the forest cover has declined by one-third of the estimated area at the arrival the Spanish colonists, with a current area of about 12,600,000 hectares. The remaining forested area corresponds to an area (about 50%) of secondary forests. There are few remaining primary forests, especially in the coastal range. If the current rates of deforestation outside the areas of protection continue, the forest will disappear within the next 20 years.
The National Parks in the temperate forests of Chile and Argentina are considered pioneer protected areas in Latin America. Some of these Parks were established in the early 1900s. There are more than fifty parks, reserves and monuments protecting more than 10 million hectares in the temperate region of Chile. There is a great disparity between the distribution of these protected areas and the geographic distribution of trees and vertebrate species. The lowest percentage of protected areas (< 10%) is found in the areas with the highest biodiversity in Chile, between 35.6° and 41.3°S. Most of the protected areas within these latitudes contain the greatest wealth of species found above 600 m, where physical processes that produce impoverished speciation and endemism are accentuated. In addition, the areas with the greatest wealth of species are found precisely in areas with high human density, and thus there is great pressure from agriculture and plantation forestry. The protected areas in the Andes of Chile and Argentina represent 99% of the total surface area protected in the southern part of South America, in contrast to protected areas in the coastal range at the same latitude. The Andean forests are more impressive than the coastal forests, due to vistas of imposing volcanoes, great lakes, and small mountain lagoons, based on the prevailing landscape criteria used when creating Andean parks. There are no protected areas in the intermediate depression, with the exception of a small municipal park near Puerto Montt. Patagonian steppe, western Chile near Argentine border.

Patagonian steppe
The Patagonian steppe ecoregion mainly covers the Patagonia region of Argentina from the Atlantic Ocean shore to barely across the border into Chile.
This steppe is bordered on the west by the cold temperate forest slopes of the Andes, and on the east by the east by the Atlantic Ocean. It extends north-west as shrubland steppe and to the north as thorn thicket, gradually making the transition to Argentine Monte.
This area is a cold desert scrub steppe, with very high wind velocities throughout the year as well as year around frosts likely.
This ecoregion has high levels of endemism in both plants and animals.
Magellanic subpolar forests
Navarino Island nothofagus forest, Tierra del Fuego, Chile. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Magellanic subpolar forests is an ecoregion dominated by trees of the genus Nothofagus; this geographic zone covers the western part of the southern end of South America as well as the extreme southern parts of Argentina and Chile, known by the region Tierra del Fuego. The ecoregion is colder and in parts drier than the Valdivian temperate forests, and in general is floristically poorer. The fauna is related to that of the bordering ecoregions, especially to that of the Valdivian temperate forests and the Patagonian steppe. Nevertheless, its varied and majestic landscapes that include high mountain peaks, enormous icefields, and innumerable fjords are inhabited by unique and endemic animal and plant species that are sometimes abundant within this ecoregion.
The subpolar Nothofagus forests extend along the southern Andes Mountains and the Chilean archipelago from 47 ºS to the Cape Horn, including the regions of southern Aisen and Magallanes in Chile. In Argentina it only covers small surfaces of the western side of the province of Santa Cruz and the south of Tierra del Fuego from lake Buenos Aires to Staten Island. At this latitude three parallel regions, the Cordillera Patagónica Insular, the Cordillera Patagónica Occidental, and the Cordillera Patagónica Oriental form the Andes.
The northern end of the subpolar Nothofagus forests matches the limit of the Valdivian temperate forests and the eastern part of the Nothofagus forests borders the Patagonian steppe and the Patagonian grasslands. Towards the west the region is in contact with the cold southern Pacific Ocean, and on the high Andes vegetation is floristically related to the south Andean steppe appears in parts as interrupted islands.
This ecoregion has several more or less protected areas through all its length. The most important from north to south in Chile are the National Parks: Laguna San Rafael, Lago Jeinimeni, Bernardo O'Higgins, Torres del Paine, Alberto De Agostini and Cabo de Hornos.
San Félix-San Ambrosio Islands temperate forests
This group of relatively small oceanic islands, known as the Islas Desventuradas, is located approximately 850 kilometers (km) off the coast of Chile. The Desventuradas archipelago is formed by the islands of San Félix (26°17'SL-80°05' WL) and San Ambrosio (26°20 LS-79°58' WL), and is part of the ocean territory of Chile. It lies some 780 km north of the Juan Fernández Archipelago. The surface area of the first is 2.5 km2 and the surface area of the latter is 2.4 km2; they are separated by some 20 km.
Both islands are of volcanic origin, and both the terrestrial and marine flora and fauna are of great scientific interest, though we know little about them. San Ambrosio rises from the sea as sheer cliffs on almost all sides, is 4 km long by 850 meters (m) wide, and primarily basaltic. San Felix is slightly smaller and has two small peaks, reaching 193 meters (m), which are denuded by high winds. The vegetation is a miniature mosaic of matorral, barren rock, various size trees, and shrubs mixed with ferns and perennial herbs.
The Islas Desventuradas and the surrounding seas are not currently under type of protection provided by the government of Chile. The islands also have scientific and tourism potential and unsuccessful requests have been made to include at least San Ambrosio island in Chile's National System of Protected Wildlife Areas.
Juan Fernández Islands temperate forests
The Juan Fernández archipelago is located 667 kilometers (km) off the coast of continental Chile in the south-eastern part of the Pacific Ocean and is of the few regions of the world where there was no permanent human settlements before 16th century. It comprises three main islands: Isla Robinson Crusoe (= Masatierra) at 33º 13' S, 78º 50' W, the closest to the mainland, Santa Clara, 1 km to the SW of Isla R. Crusoe, and Isla Alejandro Selkirk (= Masafuera) at 33º 45'S, 80º 46'W, 181 km further west.
The Juan Fernández Islands temperate forests ecoregion is exclusive to the Juan Fernández archipelago. As in most oceanic islands, its biota has a different combination of species than equivalent mainland areas. Because islands are difficult to reach, and each continental species has different dispersal capability, it is inevitable that islands will possess a non-representative sample of the species from the near continents. These forests contain a high percentage of endemism among vascular plants and possess the only endemic hummingbird known for oceanic islands. These unique taxa have evolved after the emergence of the islands, estimated in 1-5.8 millions of years, from the first colonizers.
Juan Fernandez Island, Chile Photograph by WWF/ J.C. Cardenas These islands were discovered in 1574 by the Spanish navigator Juan Fernández and are also known as Robinson Crusoe Islands, so named because the Scottish sailor, Alexander Selkirk, was self-marooned there for over 4 years, and his experiences served as the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's famous novel.
Each island has its own somewhat distinct vegetation types. On Isla R. Crusoe the zones are: grasslands (0-100 m altitude), introduced shrubs (100-300 m), tall forests (300-500 m), lower montane forests (500-700 m), tree fern forests (700-750 m), and high brushwood on exposed cliffs (500-850 m). Isla Santa Clara has been denuded of shrubby vegetation and consists largely of grassy slopes throughout. On Isla A. Selkirk the zones are: grassland slopes (0-400 m) and deep ravines ("quebradas", 0-500 m), lower montane forests (400-600 m), upper montane forests (600-950 m), high brushwood (950-1100 m), and an "alpine zone" (1100-1300 m).
The importance of the flora of the Juan Fernández and its level of endangerment, as well as of its endemic fauna, are manifest by the Chilean government designation of this archipelago as a National Park in 1935 (administrated by the CONAF) and by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) designation of it as a World Biosphere Reserve in 1977, listed in their "most threatened" category. In addition, Bird Life International's identifies them as a critical conservation priority and they also appear in the WWF/IUCN's global study of Centers of Plant Diversity and Endemism. CONAF is actively working to save the endemic plants with support from the Chilean Government and several international organizations. However, the incipient restoration work seems insufficient to stall the effects of many aggressive introduced species.
Rapa Nui and Sala-y-Gomez subtropical broadleaf forests
Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, is one of the noteworthy islands on Earth. It forms the eastern geographic and cultural boundary of Polynesia. Located in the South Pacific at about 27º S latitude, Rapa Nui is 3,700 kilometers (km) west of Chile and about 2,200 km east of Pitcairn Island. It is the most remote inhabited spot on Earth.
Although paleobotanical studies suggest that the island was originally covered by palm and broadleaf forest, the island is now completely grass-covered, except for a few isolated stands of ornamental trees and shrubs. Rapa Nui is one of the most isolated islands in the world and thus has an interesting biogeographic and ecological history.
Rapa Nui is the youngest and westernmost of a chain of submarine volcanoes that probably formed as a volcanic hotspot track on the Nazca Tectonic Plate, located on the eastern side of the East Pacific Rise. The island is roughly triangular with an area of 166 square kilometers and a maximum elevation of 600 meters (m). It is composed of three main volcanic summits, Rano Kau, Poike, and Terevaka, as well as several smaller vents. The oldest is Poike, which erupted in two episodes, one occurring nine million years ago and the other 2.5 million years ago. Lavas from Rano Kau are as old as 940,000 years, and lavas from Terevaka are the youngest with flows as young as 300,000 years. The last volcanic eruptions on Rapa Nui occurred about 13,000 years ago.
Rapa Nui, Chile Photograph by John Morrison Sala-y-Gomez is a small reef 415 km to the northeast of Rapa Nui. It is only 300 m long at low tide, and shrinks to a mere 70 m at high tide. Constantly subjected to salt spray, only four species of terrestrial plants grow here. A small depression sometimes contains fresh water. Large populations of seabirds use this minute island for breeding. The terrestrial portion of the island is designated as a nature sanctuary.
Rapa Nui is the most isolated island in the Pacific and that makes it extremely valuable for studying the biogeographical distribution of species. It is currently the focus of numerous paleobotanical studies that are rapidly changing the understanding of its native flora.
Ferns are one of the few higher plants that can be considered indigenous to Rapa Nui. Just 4 of the 15 reported species are endemic: Doodia paschalis, Polystichum fuentesii, Elaphoglossum skottsbergii, and Thelypteris espinosae.
Triumfetta semitriloba, a woody shrub, was once thought to have been introduced to the island because it is an important textile plant. However, pollen analyses have shown that it existed on Rapa Nui at least 35,000 years ago. For some time, it was thought to be extirpated from the island, but at least four individuals were found in 1988.
The first Polynesians settlers reached Rapa Nui in the fifth century AD. It is uncertain when extensive deforestation began, though the island was basically deforested by the time the first Europeans arrived in 1722. Many exotic species have been introduced to the island. In recent studies, Zizka identified a total of 46 indigenous plant species of which nine were endemic and 166 introduced. Alien plants and animals make conservation and restoration of remnant natural communities and species challenging. For example, grazing by horses and other herbivores must be controlled before native species can regenerate. Recent efforts to reintroduce the toromiro have been undertaken by Kew Gardens.
Ecoregions are areas that:
[1] share a large majority of their species and ecological dynamics;
[2] share similar environmental conditions; and,
[3] interact ecologically in ways that are critical for their long-term persistence.
Scientists at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), have established a classification system that divides the world in 867 terrestrial ecoregions, 426 freshwater ecoregions and 229 marine ecoregions that reflect the distribution of a broad range of fauna and flora across the entire Earth.

"The Great Wave of Kanagawa" by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is part of a 36 piece series originally done as a Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Mount Fuji is a centerpiece of great aesthetic and spiritual significance in many of Hokusai's works. Here, Hokusai places Mount Fuji in the background rather than at the front of his work, suggesting that its diminished size does not equate to diminished power.
© Art.com
Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) dominated Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing, meaning "pictures of the floating world," or everyday life. Hokusai, who changed his name each time he changed artistic styles, is best known for his woodblock print series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which includes the iconic "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa." He was extraordinarily prolific between 1796 and 1820, producing an estimated 30,000 book illustrations and color prints inspired by Japanese traditions, legends and daily life. Hokusai created his most important works after age 60, in which Mount Fuji was often a spiritually significant element. His art enormously impacted Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.

Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi said Benedict had the pacemaker installed "a long time" before he became pope in 2005. He called the latest medical procedure "routine."
It was the first time the Vatican has mentioned a papal pacemaker.
Italian daily Il Sole 24 said the pope had the pacemaker procedure less than three months ago in a Rome hospital and did not miss any public appearances.
Benedict is resigning on Feb. 28 because he says he has become too infirm to handle the burdens of the papacy. He will become the first pope to step down in six centuries.

The Abandoned Factory is a minor location, featured in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is loacted off Lompoc Avenue in Industrial, Bohan.
The factory is extremely dilapidated, with nothing of real value to be found inside. Sometime in 2008, the Rascalov Family took up residence in the factory as a hideout, though they cannot be found in single player.
Mission Appearences
The factory makes a large appearance as the setting of the mission Hostile Negotiation. Niko Bellic storms the factory to save his cousin Roman, who has been kidnapped by Dimitri Rascalov in order to lure him into a trap. The plan fails, however, as Niko wipes out a portion of Dimitri's army, and makes his escape with Roman.
The Buccaneer requested by Stevie can be found near the factory.
- The Lost and Damned
- An AK-47 spawns near the entrance during Hostile Negotiation, but does not spawn in single player.
- Similarly, no vehicles spawn on the premises except for a Bobcat which Niko and Roman make their escape in during the mission (as well as Stevie's Buccaneer, when he requests it).

Felt Finger Puppets
The Frog Princess did a lot of
crafting this summer.
(I'm totally jealous)
Especially during her three weeks of
Art Camp!
(Still jealous...what do you mean mom can't go to art camp?
Don't you need qualified art teachers?!)
She made these little felt finger puppets
much to the amusement of Mini-Saurus.
They've been quite popular.
Just cut out two (identical)
pieces of felt,
glue the edges together (no sew!)
leave room for a little finger to fit in at the bottom
(add googly eyes, etc.)
You're good to go!
Allow me to introduce our felty friends:
We have a frog (above)
A queen/king/princess
(depends who we need for the plot line)
The grumpy alien troll who lives under the bridge,
an angel/fairy godmother.
Here's the whole "scene"
It's on hinged cardboard
so you can fold it....
like this.
It folds into a neat little box shape.
We're planning to decorate the other side
so we can have different backgrounds.

Comments On Mar 31, 2011:Purchased a pair for those many cold days we must endure up here in Canada. The first thing I really noticed is the sizing. I used the size chart and going by my normal shoe size orderd a medium. I really should have ordered the large. Although they do fit, it is a tight fit, and tight fit on socks leads to poor circulation and....cold feet. The material is very thin, so I would really like to wear a thin sock under the heated one, but no way with the size I bought. I will wear another loose fitting sock over top of them. They seem to be well made, and the fitment on the foot is quite good, as it is not a tube sock. I plugged mine in directly to the bottom of my Tourmaster Synergy heated pant liner, but wish I had ordered the seperate wiring harness for the times I dont use the pant liner (will be ordering). The nice thing is, they really do a nice job of heating, and there are no annoying wires to walk on within the sock. Would I order another pair?...yes, but keeping in mind to get a size larger than indicated.

Comments On Feb 05, 2011:Have used these on the street at high speeds with temps around 20 degrees and they kept my feet warm. They work best with thin socks.

(written from a Production point of view)
The thruster suit was envisioned as a variation of an environmental suit, that could be equipped with a detachable thruster pack for use to travel short distances, and has been seen in use in Star Trek: The Motion Picture by, among others, Starfleet personnel at the Epsilon IX station as well as the drydock were the upgraded USS Enterprise was refurbished. Equipped with the thruster pack, Spock utilized such a suit when entering and exploring the V'Ger entity in the early 2270s, whereas James T. Kirk subsequently used a thruster suit to retrieve Spock. The design of the suit was re-utilized in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Though full-scale suits were manufactured for the actors to interact with in The Motion Picture, they themselves soldiering on in The Wrath of Khan, the construction of a miniature was deemed necessary for The Motion Picture.
An extravehicular activity was already envisioned in a final draft of the "In Thy Image" pilot episode of the eventually abandoned Star Trek: Phase II television project. While in the employ of Robert Abel & Associates, Production Illustrator Andrew Probert submitted some preliminary design work for the environmental suit in October 1978. Unfortunately for him, Abel was pulled from the project when the production was upgraded to a feature film project in early 1979. Succeeded by Douglas Trumbull's Future General Corporation, it was decided to fine tune the spacesuit design at John Dykstra's Apogee, Inc., when that company was brought in to ease the workload, since a first appearance of the suit was envisioned in a sequence Apogee was responsible for, to wit, the Epsilon IX station footage.
At Apogee, Production Illustrator Jack Johnson took over the task of designing the suit as well as that of the thruster pack that could be optionally attached to it. Details on the suit were designed by Animation and Graphics Artist Greg Wilzbach. It was their envisioned versions that were predominantly featured in The Motion Picture. Johnson was also the one who designed the thruster pack unit. (The Art of Star Trek, pp. 180-181)
Andrew Probert sold off his preliminary designs as Lot 76 in the Propworx, Inc.'s STAR TREK auction III of 24 March 2012 for US$150, having had an estimate of US$100–$200. [1]
Studio model
Apart from having full scale suits made for the actors to interact with, a scaled miniature was deemed necessary for the long shots. That miniature was also constructed at Apogee, and Dykstra has elaborated,
"Another thing we did for the Epsilon 9 sequence was build a two-foot tall scale model spaceman that we had zipping around this way and that. Doug used it also in the drydock sequence and in the Spock spacewalk. David Sosalla did the sculpting, including the faces of Spock and the others who would be inside the suit; and John Ramsay worked out the mechanics for articulating the arms and legs. It was shot using motion control, and then we went back in with animation and added little blips of energy from the thrusters.(...)
"There were a couple nice shots that didn't get into the film, where the puppets are being chased by the destruction in a different way than we've got them appearing now. But we ran out of time, and weren't able to get them to go together right."For their appearances, Sosalla sculpted several heads for representation of whomever was supposed to be in the suit. The models themselves were equipped with servo motors and electronics for articulation. (Cinefex, issue 2, pp. 58-59)
Painted with orange highlights, the miniature was first used to shoot the sequences of the unfortunate Starfleet member caught in the digitizing of the Epsilon IX station and Spock's spacewalk in V'Ger. Subsequently, the highlights were repainted brown/beige for the sequences in the drydock and Kirk's EV scenes.
The miniature made an almost undiscernible re-appearance in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as a display model in the Starfleet Officer's Lounge entry room, in the scene where Admiral Kirk and company leave.
After its use in The Search for Spock, the miniature was stored away on the Paramount Pictures lot and largely forgotten about, until Probert and Rick Sternbach rediscovered it. As the latter remembered, "If I recall correctly, when Andy was painting the head to look like himself, the rest of the suit hardshell was the orange color (early 1987?). I think we found the thing in a box in a storage room in the art department shortly after Andy and I commandeered the room over Stages 8/9. We had originally done some work in another office on the west side of the lot, but since the room over 8/9 was empty, we basically took it over. Anyhow, I'm wondering if the motor hardware was they way it was because the appendage moves had to be repeatable to within a very small tolerance, and the stepper motors I've seen are rather brutish to begin with. Steppers aren't like "normal" spinning electric motors, for folks who aren't familiar with them; the shafts are commanded to move in precise steps by motion control computers." [X]wbm
Afterwards, the miniature ended up in Doug Drexler's possession for a number of years. Having had ample time to study the miniature in detail, Drexler has noted on his blogwbm,
"Anyone who has watched TMP remembers the little space guy who goes ass-over-tea kettle at Epsilon 9. If you run that back you will see the puppet articulate a tad as it is hit by the Vger wave. That's probably all the range it had. A post mortem reveals why. Most of you know that I was an effects makeup artist for ten years. In them time I built my share of puppets and change-o heads. If I had been there when this fabricated, I might have saved them a lot of grief. When you take it apart you find an impressive dual cylinder piston driven motor, which probably could have driven a mini bike. All of that horsepower was to no avail. The rubber that the suit was cast from was much too rigid for an articulated puppet. Even with all of that power behind it. I'm sure one of you guys will know the answer to this, but my guess would be that it was built by a physical effects house that may not have had a lot of puppet building experience.The pictures Drexler showcased on his blog entry revealed that some of the second paint layer had chipped off over time, revealing in some places the original orange paint layer. This may have led to Sternbach's partially erroneous recollection in regard to the color of the miniature.
"All due respects to my physical effects brothers, but most of them are all about raw power. I'm guessing they were fairly certain that even though the cast was semi rigid they thought they could jam enough hp in there to make it work. I had a phys effects buddy who used to live by the adage, "don't force it! get a bigger hammer!" By the time they found that the bigger hammer wouldn't do it, it was too late to go back. If a makeup artist had built this rig, the appendages would have been made out of a fine cellular foam latex. if it had been me, I would have used the same foam latex we use for facial appliances. Extremly soft, malleable, great memory, and supremely paintable. If foam latex had been used you could have thrown all that expensive horsepower away. Just go to your local bicycle shop and pick up some el cheapo cables and levers, and this thing would've been able to dance like one of the Nicholas Brothers."
Drexler eventually auctioned off his miniature, sans thruster pack, measuring 11×25 inches, as Lot 11 in the Propworx's The official STAR TREK prop and costume auction of 8 August 2010, estimated at US$8,000-$10,000, where it sold for US$8,000. According to the auction description it was the miniature that represented Admiral James T. Kirk when he retrieved Spock in the movie.
Coincidentally, Spock's thruster pack miniature, constructed out of fiberglass, metal and resin and measuring 15½ inches long, had been shortly before offered up at Profiles in History's 8-9 October 2009 Hollywood Auction 37 as Lot 611. Having been estimated at US$6,000–8,000.00, it went unsold.

TAMPA, Florida -- November 18, 2012
Black Friday shoppers are already waiting in line in Tampa.
Rick Hilton arrived Friday night at the same Best Buy store he has shopped at since he was in ninth grade. Now, the 21-year-old is looking for deals on a computer and flat-screen television for his grandmother.
The Tampa Tribune reports that Hilton and two other shoppers were already in line in anticipation for the long lines on the day after Thanksgiving. By Saturday afternoon, two more shoppers claimed a spot.
Hilton and some other shoppers reunite once a year for this event, pitching tents to sleep in at night and playing football in the parking lot when the store closes.
Tina Jones set up camp early Saturday morning as she waited for her family to show up.

What is the next alternative for facebook tabs?
I want a HTML/PHP page using FMBL on my facebook page, but I am not sure if it is still possible.
FBML is deprecated, the "Static FBML" App is not available anymore.
You could try this now: https://www.facebook.com/staticHTML
I did not test it though, and the best way to create tabs is to create an app on your own:
It´s not really hard to do, tabs are just iframes and you can program the pages like a real website. Just keep in mind that you need a server with SSL for canvas apps and tab apps.

Last Friday, the top six "party rockin'" DJs battled to be named the "best on the decks in the U.S." at LURE in Los Angeles for the Red Bull Thre3Style National Championship. Trentino of Chicago beat out DJ Scene, DJ Phish, Konflikt, A-Rock and Donnie Dee, who were judged on both their technical ability and crowd response. Trentino said he was naturally stoked about the win, and proud to rep the U.S. in the World FInals, held this November in Toronto.
DJ Jazzy Jeff closed the night, but during the judge's deliberation, Grammy award-winner Mark Ronson moved the audience, with guest party rocker A-Trak. We caught up with Ronson before the battle at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where he let us know just how momentous this occasion was, and that nerves never go away, even after working with legends like Paul McCartney.
So you're performing, not judging tonight?
Mark Ronson I'm DJing along with A-Trak, who's fantastic, and then Jazzy Jeff, who's still just as good as, if not better than when I started worshipping him 25 years ago. So, yeah, I'm really quite excited and incredibly nervous because when you're on a bill with people at that level of talent, it's just like, it just sucks. I know I'm not as good as either of those guys technically so I just kind of have to kill it.
I can't believe you still get nervous!
MR Oh yeah, I'm not saying it to be cute. I get terribly, terribly nervous. It doesn't matter if I play to like, 250 people or 10,000 people, that first five minutes is the most nerve-racking. And the hour beforehand… My wife won't be anywhere around me because I'm so unpleasant. I'm just like this withered shaky thing. I'm just so in my own neurotic world that I can't really function or talk; it's like I go into Rain Man mode.
I find that shocking, actually.
MR My friend Ricky used to sing in this English band Kaiser Chiefs; I remember before I met him I went to a lot of their shows because I really liked them and he was always running around the stage like crazy: climbing scaffolding. He was just the most gregarious performer. And I met him, and he seemed like a sweet high school art teacher. I was like, "You must throw up every night before you go on stage!" He was like, "Yeah I absolutely do." So yeah, I think it's pretty normal.
What have you been working on lately?
MR My own record… And kind of a bunch of shit, with Cee Lo a bit, and with this English rapper Giggs, he's on XL, and I worked with Paul McCartney on his stuff…
I'm sure you were nervous before that, right?
MR That was nervous on a whole new level.
When is that coming out?
MR I really don't know. I'm not trying to be coy, it's not like it's a secret, like tomorrow it'll be on the internet, like David Bowie. Maybe it will be—I don't know.
What do you want to tell V readers?
MR I don't know who they are!
You don't?
MR I would consider myself a V reader, but other than that, I don't.

The shimmering pearl effect created by these colors is startling!
Apply these beautiful inks with a dip pen, ruling pen, or brush. All colors are intermixable, translucent and permanent, and work best when put down freely rather than applying successive layers of color. The pigments used to make these inks are large in particle size, so they will not go through fine-line airbrush nozzles, nor are they suitable for technical pens or fountain pens. The breakthrough in color technology provides almost limitless creative potential in areas not normally associated with inks, including applications to wood, leather, paper, and board (and to a limited degree, glass and ceramics). Each glass bottle contains 1 oz (30 ml).
Pearlescent Effects Set of 6 — Set of six 1 oz bottles contains one each Black, Moon Violet, Waterfall Green, Galactic Blue, White Pearl, and Platinum Pink.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

VonChurch Committed to Being Green through Being Carbonfree®
For the past five years, San Francisco-based VonChurch, the leading recruiting firm specialized in helping digitally focused companies evolve, has achieved one of its many commitments – to "being green" – in part through its Carbonfree® Business Partnership program with Carbonfund.org. Each year, VonChurch makes a donation to Carbonfund.org to neutralize their estimated annual operational emissions.
"It is crucial we continue to take part in taking care of our environment," explains Nicole Ossey, HR Director of VonChurch. "The partnership with Carbonfund.org helps us do that because of information and programs they provide, which are able to support the goal of our company to be a Green Certified Business."
To date, VonChurch has neutralized over 800,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the emissions created by driving a standard passenger car almost 875,000 miles.
Founded in San Francisco in August 2008, VonChurch is committed to preserving the environment. Not only is the firm offsetting emissions for its office energy usage and its eleven employees, but they also offset emissions from flights that they initiate when recruitment candidates fly to meet VonChurch clients.
Additionally, VonChurch participates in the San Francisco Green Business program, a non-profit organization that establishes rigid requirements to ensure green business practices. These commitments to "being green" keep VonChurch at the forefront in the recruiting industry as an environmental leader.

Aslan Graphics Celebrates Print Management Awards and Sixth Year CarbonFree®
The printing industry has taken great strides to implement various sustainability initiatives, in order to reduce industry-produced greenhouse gas emissions and to achieve greater production efficiency through chain-of-custody certifications in alignment with the Forest Steward Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
CarbonFree® Business Partner Aslan Graphics recognized that it could take a leadership position by going beyond the industry-wide efforts and directly mitigating its own operational carbon emissions. By joining the CarbonFree® Business Partnership six years ago, award-winning Aslan Graphics has offered its clients the advantages of a carbon emissions-neutral print management company in the very environmentally-aware San Francisco market.
"It would be irresponsible to be a part of the printing industry -- an industry that has a big environmental footprint -- and not try to offset some its effects," explains Dayala Levenson, President and CEO of Aslan Graphics. "Although there have been tremendous improvements in reducing the impact of printing, I am grateful that we have yet another opportunity to minimize it. Carbonfund.org has given us an easy way to present a carbon offsetting option to our clients and to take advantage of it ourselves."
Aslan Graphics made a commitment to investing in future renewable energy sources through Carbonfund.org. Over the past six years, Aslan Graphics has neutralized almost 500,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions by supporting clean energy project development.
"While we believe that the most important aspect of an environmental policy is to limit your impact from the start, it's good to know that we are able to help counteract the effects of our business through Carbonfund.org," concludes Dayala. We couldn't agree more.
Pure&True Beauty and Skin Care Products Celebrate Six Years CarbonFree®
Environmentally-responsible business entrepreneurs come by their inspiration through a variety of experiences. For Michelle Garcia, Founder and President of Pure&True, a natural and organic beauty and skin care products company based in Oahu, the inspiration began with researching the requirements for LEED building certification. Through the process, Michelle learned of the many toxic ingredients contained in home and personal care products. Her continued research led her to develop Pure&True as a cosmetic company devoted to pure, natural and organic product ingredients and with a strong commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
As a company, Pure&True cares about the choices the business makes and how those choices impact customers' health and the environment. They believe it is possible to indulge oneself with skin and beauty care products while making a meaningful difference in the world. Six years ago, Pure&True made the decision to offset the carbon emissions from its business operations and product shipments by joining the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program and supporting our global reforestation and sustainable energy projects. As a CarbonFree® Partner, Pure&True has neutralized over 430,000 pounds of carbon emissions, equivalent to the quantity of carbon dioxide sequestered by over 5000 tree seedlings grown for ten years.
"As a cosmetic company, I believe that Pure&True should be a vehicle to making a difference in the world – through the products it creates and the support it lends to environmental and social charities," explains Michelle. "This is the vision that sparked the birth of Pure&True, and I look forward to developing this vision as the company grows."
In addition to maintaining its CarbonFree® operations, Pure&True also donates 5% of the profits from each product sale to selected social and environmental charities. Pure&True makes it possible for their customers to support their products while making positive contributions to protecting and preserving the environment, and improving lives of women and families around the world.

System vs. Online Backups
The main advantage of online backup is that all databanks, including the system databanks, can be backed up while the system can remain operational. The backup is initiated and executed by use of SQL statements only. The disadvantage can be that there must be enough disk space available to copy the complete database.
If the disk space is limited, a system backup can be preferable. For a system backup, the database server must be stopped. A system backup needs certain SQL statements to be used together with operating system commands for file copying, etc.

I've always said that no matter where my next adventure is, LA always feels like home. One of the main reasons why I don't see myself (although I'm completely open to the idea of living in Paris/Barcelona/New York! Heck yes!) living anywhere else is partly because LA has, hands down, the best weather. Right now, it feels like summer in winter and I'm not mad at that.
Sometimes I want to experience real fall or winter where I can dress accordingly and layer up, but at the end of the day I much rather be in a striped tee, bare legs and sandals.
Since it's been feeling a lot like summer on my side, I've been on a flower and fruit craze. I sit outside my office in this cute wooden chair x table combo, take in the rays, eat fruit and work the day away! It's the easiest way to get inspired.
Yesterday was the perfect example of that. How you you work and stay inspired during the winter?
I always have fresh flowers in the office; a trip to the farmer's market or flower mart is one of my favorite things to do once or twice a week!
Strawberries are my favorite fruit… smoothies, desserts, or just by themselves. Nom.

- "Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never heard before; a stricken lament of terrible beauty. [...] Harry felt, as he had felt about the Phoenix song before, that the music was inside him, not without ... How long they stood there, listening, he did not know, nor why it seemed to ease their pain a little to listen... [...] They all fell silent. Fawkes's lament was still echoing over the dark grounds outside."
- —Fawkes's lament after Dumbledore's death.[src]
When Albus Dumbledore died, his pet phoenix, Fawkes, sang a Phoenix Lament. It mesmerised all those gathered in the hospital wing; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. After Fawkes fell silent, he left Hogwarts, only returning for his master's funeral and then departing, presumably forever.

Declares a condition name for an exception condition value.
An exception condition may be specified by using an SQLSTATE value. It is also possible, within a compound SQL statement, to declare a condition name to represent an exception condition.
The condition name may be declared to represent an SQLSTATE value or it may exist on its own.
If an exception is raised (by executing SIGNAL or RESIGNAL) using a condition name that is not associated with an SQLSTATE value, the SQLSTATE value 45000 (RETURNED SQLSTATE) will be retrieved from the diagnostics area by the GET DIAGNOSTICS statement when the RETURNED_SQLSTATE option is used.
Condition names allow representations of exception conditions to be declared that are more meaningful and readable than an SQLSTATE value.
A condition name which represents an SQLSTATE value may only be declared to represent a specific SQLSTATE value, i.e. it is not possible to declare a condition name to represent an exception class group. For a description of exception class groups, see DECLARE HANDLER.
The scope of a condition name covers all the procedural SQL statements in the compound statement declaring it, including any other compound statements nested within it.
The general naming rules for a condition name are the same as those for other database objects.
If a condition name is declared to represent a particular SQLSTATE value, another condition name cannot exist for that same SQLSTATE value which has exactly the same scope.
A condition name cannot be declared for an SQLSTATE value with class 'successful completion', this covers all SQLSTATE values starting with 00.
The SQLSTATE value string is five characters long and contains only alphanumeric characters.
In Mimer SQL any SQLSTATE value that falls outside the range of standard SQLSTATE values is treated as an implementation-defined value.
Standard SQLSTATE values begin with the characters A-I, S, 0-4 and 7, while implementation-defined SQLSTATE values begin with the characters J-R, T-Z, 5-6 and 8-9.
ExampleDECLARE invalid_parameter CONDITION FOR SQLSTATE 'UE456';
For more information, see Mimer SQL Programmer's Manual, chapter 12, Declaring Condition Names.

A Springs couple is recovering after a frightening night: crooks robbing them at gunpoint--in their own home.
According to police, an armed man accompanied by two women broke into the couple's home near Fountain and Jet Wing just before 10:30 Thursday night. The suspects threatened the couple with the gun, then stole a cell phone and a work truck.
Police spotted the truck and chased after the suspects, but ultimately were forced to end the pursuit because the chase became too dangerous.
The truck was later found on the 300 block of North Circle, but the suspects were nowhere to be found.
The suspects have been described as followed:
A white man in his 20s dressed in all black.
A white woman with dark hair in her 20s, about 5-foot-3 and 140 pounds.
An Hispanic woman in her 20s with dark curly hair.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

33 Weeks Pregnant and Morning Sickness Again?
I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and woke up this morning feeling like I was back at month 4. I felt all morning like I needed to vomit or make myself vomit just to carry on. Well I finally did at about lunch time and now I feel much better (the same way I felt back during morning sickness). What could have caused this? Other than the pregnancy I never get sick to my stomach. Is this something I should be worried about? Does vomitting mean I am closer to labor than we thought?

I'm going through the exact same thing at 33 weeks. Morning sickness has always been a problem from me, but lately I feel like I'm 3 months again! My only consolation is that I don't have much longer left!posted 10/08/2007 by kimdlawson06
It could be that your baby is so big, and pushing on your stomach and there is no room, or if you get bad heart burn it could be ulcers, I have that problem right now, just eat smaller meals more frequently and take tums every night when you go to bed it helps reduce stomach acid, even if you don't have heart burn take them before you go to bed, and during the day, it's not only good for heart burn, but the calcium is good for your baby.posted 09/26/2007 by nightmariy
Wow. I could have written your post. I am also 33 weeks pregnant, and for the last several days, the nausea has returned! Yuck. I spoke with my Dr. about it yesterday, and he said some unlucky women experience it again....but nothing to be concerned about. He didn't feel that it (or any of my other "complaints") necessarily meant anything was happening. That is good news! We want healthy, full term babies, right?posted 09/25/2007 by 2SweetGirls
I'm 33.2 weeks pregnant, and I have been sick for the entirity of my pregnancy... my doctor says that as long as i am gaining weight that the baby is fine. I have found that not letting myself become "full" has helped imensely. Eating and then drinking water always makes me feel like i'm going to vomit for the next hour or so...posted 09/24/2007 by ilikecookies
I am 33 weeks pregnant and have been vomiting for 7 months every day, several times a day. Most of the time I feel sick to my stomach except for a few hours in the morning. My doctor says that some women are more prone to morning sickness than others. I have only gained around 16 pounds, but the baby is doing fine and will draw everything he needs from my body. I am so looking forward to finally having him and not feeling sick any longer..posted 09/24/2007 by Gaile519
It's horrible to be going through this again (as I am too). I've come to the conclusion that it's because we go all night without eating whereas during the day we snack and eat those small meals.posted 09/20/2007 by Dragonangel413
I got morning sickness again at about 28 weeks and it in some ways was worse than it was in my 1st trimester and in other ways better. I was told it is hormone related and doesn't hurt the baby, but it is important to make sure you keep taking your vitamins and try to keep eating healthy. I found that drinking Dr. Pepper as soon as I wake up has helped tremendously! My dr. told me that the reason Dr. Pepper works in curtailing the nausea is because of the strong amount of syrup. I do okay as long as I have my Dr. Pepper!posted 09/14/2007 by angyrobbins
Wow! I too wondered this yesterday because I'm 33.5 weeks and had a very abrupt, violent vomiting session yesterday morning much like weeks 6-18. My doctor said it was unusual, but said I need not do anything given that it wasn't accompanied by any other symptoms. She thought it might be a fluke. You still might just check in with your doctor to be sure, but it's most likely nothing of concern and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one!posted 09/10/2007 by grapenutNC
I've had "morning" sickness the whole time!! My doctor says its normal!! He suggested I tried eating before bed and that actaully did help a little .. GOOD LUCK!!!posted 09/06/2007 by nikki5000_
Unfortunately, it doesn't mean you are closer to labor, although anything is always possible with babies! What is most likely happening is a change in hormones (again!) as your body prepares for birth, along with drastically reduced stomach space for you. I'm experiencing this too, and it is such a pain to have to go through AGAIN. Luckily, it isn't every day or quite as severe. Just grab the Tums, eat smaller, more frequent meals, try to avoid spicy, greasy or highly acidic stuff and remind yourself that you're almost done!posted 08/31/2007 by lilithsnite
