Mix: Pac-Man, Law & Order: SVU, Origami, Rush Limbaugh
iPodMame is a new project that uses the iPodLinux software to allow users to install and play Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man on a fifth-generation iPod or iPod nano.
NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" has been added to the iTunes Music Store. Seasons 1 and 7 are currently available. [via TUAW]
Microsoft has officially announced the first Origami device. Samsung's Q1 is an ultra-compact PC that runs Windows XP and features a 7-inch touch-screen, 40GB HD, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Gizmodo has hands on photos.
Rush Limbaugh has been working with Apple engineers to offer his paid "Rush 24/7" podcast through iTunes.

From the Origami article:
"Will Smith, editor of Maximum PC magazine, noted that the launch versions of many tech products are often mediocre. "Version 1.0 of Microsoft products are never any good," says Smith."
Do they ever get better?

I like Rush Limbaugh and am excited that he'll be on iTunes. Just wanted to say that before all the player haters start posting their typical unoriginal conservative bashing.

Shame the Origami doesn't look a thing like the mockup in the original promo video - that had me a little excited. But then these tanks get released with a woeful 2.5hours battery life. Hopefully it'll either evolve into that concept or Apple bring out their own ultra mobile - with all of the touch screen patents it could be a possibility.

I would love to see an ultra-mobile that ran a variant of XP or an x86 linux, had a 4-6" screen, could handle decoding even h.264 and ran for 4-6 hours at full brightness with a user-replacable battery. 512MB RAM, 60GB HD. Rotate or slide for thumbkey access. Cost $500 - $900. So far none of these Origami devices fit the bill.
I wonder if Apple could do a device like that only have it run OSX. Could be a niche that fits them perfectly.

Wahoo! Rush Limbaugh finally available through iTunes! I'm so excited! Now I can ditch my Automator script that I've had to use to make it easier to import his daily podcast into iTunes.

I would not have comprehended the iPodLinux page more if it were in German. Any chance of a sleek installer coming along for the rest of us?

For someone like me who thinks my Dell 700m notebook is WAY TOO big and cumbersome, the Origami FF is just about perfect, and the initial price range isn't too hard to swallow even if it means yet another Windoze device in the fold. But then the reality hits.
After reading about the Samsung unit at CeBit, I think I'll wait until the next generation. I can probably live w/ the WVGA and PSP-sheen plastic, but the 1 1/2 hrs of battery life? Not exactly the 6 to 8 hrs Mr. Bill was hoping for last year, fer dang sure. And the almost $1200 price tag (European introduction price) isn't exactly hitting the price target either, even if it's roughly half of the amount a reasonably tarted-up Tablet PC seems to go for whenever I price one of those out.
I've been aching for a Tablet PC-type of device for field work, but to date haven't been able to mentally justify the usual $2k to $2.5k price tag for one. I LIKE the fact that the Origami is small and easier to physically manage and carry around than a notebook, and utilizes a touch screen like a PDA, but without the battery life being significantly better it's stillborn for me, though if it DID have a better battery—hopefully easily replaceable at the same time—I could even leave the iPod at home. Windoze XP…iTunes…who needs the iPod, especially if I have to carry the computer around anyways? And if it has an integrated PHONE module—GSM preferred—as well…that WOULD be perfect, especially considering its Bluetooth interface.
Any way I can nuke additional devices I'm all in for.

In sheltered bays and inlets like Western Port and Corner Inlet, and larger estuaries like the Yarra and Barwon Rivers, small trees called mangroves form an important protective fringe along the coastline and out into the water.
Mangroves provide important protection for coastlines from the erosion caused by waves and storms.
The White Mangrove (Avicennia marina) is the only mangrove species found in Victoria. It also grows in tropical areas as much larger trees.
Mangroves have a range of features that allow them to survive on the edge of the sea in the challenging habitat of thick, airless and salty mud. They have specialised breathing roots, salt glands for removing excessive salt and large seeds that can float in seawater.
Many species of animals including crustaceans and fish, feed among the mangroves in the early stages of their life. Species found in this habitat include Yellow Eye Mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri), Mangrove snail (Bembicium sp) and Mud Crabs (Paragrapsus laevis).
Key Threats
- Poor water quality entering the sea from catchments
- Oil and chemical pollution
- Fishing or removal of animals and plants
- Marine pests which compete for food or space
- Trampling of the mangrove's specialised breathing roots
- Climate change effects including sea level rise, warming sea surface temperatures, and increasing ocean acidity.
Where to see mangroves
- French Island Marine National Park
- Yaringa Marine National Park
- Corner Inlet Marine National Park
- Churchill Island Marine National Park
- Jawbone Marine Sanctuary

Men's Basketball Falls At Canisius
Feb. 21, 2004
Buffalo, N.Y. - Charlie Bell led four Greyhounds in double figures with 15 points, but Canisius used 60 percent shooting to sink Loyola 83-67 on Saturday afternoon in Buffalo, N.Y.
A hot-shooting Canisius squad set the first-half tempo with long-range accuracy. Held without a field goal in the game's first 3:30, the Golden Griffens finished the half shooting 67 percent from the field, making 8-of-9 three-point field goals. Charlie Bell was doing his part to keep the Greyhounds close with two first-half three-point field goals and eight first-half points.
The 'Hounds took a 16-12 lead with a 6-0 run midway through the first period. Canisius responded with a three-point barrage and despite Loyola's 48 percent first-half shooting, the Griffs led 44-37 at the break.
Canisius extended its lead to 19 points with 11 minutes left in regulation. Loyola came back with a few runs of its own, but fell behind 78-56 with more sharp shooting from the Griffs. The Greyhounds would cut into the lead, but not nearly enough to avoid the 16-point defeat.
Lindbergh Chatman and Michael Tuck each scored 12 points while Bernard Allen added 11 in the loss. Shane James finished with a team-high five assits to go along with his five points and three rebounds.
Loyola, now 1-24 overall and 1-15 in the MAAC, will conclude the regular season at home next week. The 'Hounds face Fairfield on Wednesday night and Iona at Reitz Arena on Sunday, Feb. 29.

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

Reconciliation Is on the Card for Drew Barrymore and Fabrizio Moretti?
Rumor has it that Drew Barrymore and ex-boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti are working on a reconciliation.
The former couple split in January 2007 after dating for four and a half years. Though so, reconciliation is still possible for them.
"When the going gets tough (in a relationship), I don't run. But sometimes you come to a point where there's nothing more you can do," the actress says.
Further she explains, "You love and respect each other, but it's not working. So you amicably decide to part. I don't know what the future holds: a lot of people get back together after they break up. We could go our separate ways and work out some of our problems and come back together with a fresh perspective. But you have to learn to break the patterns you're in, that aren't letting the relationship function properly. I always leave a relationship with a sense of hope."
Barrymore rose to fame for her role in the 1982 "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial". By this year she has at least three film projects, they are "Grey Gardens," "Music and Lyrics," and "Lucky You." Moretti, elsewhere, is well known as the drummer of The Strokes.

Scott wins fourth South Island title
Relevant offers
Jason Scott won the South Island Sprintcar Championships for the fourth time at the Riverside Speedway last night.
``I'm bloody rapt,'' Scott, of Queenstown, said after winning the prestigious event.
A slight concern for Scott was the condition of his tyres near the end of the final race.
``The last five or six laps, the tyres were wearing out, but we got there.''
Scott, who has been driving competitively for six years, is a builder.
He and fellow sprintcar drivers will be back at Riverside Speedway tonight for the War of the Wings.

Dan Silver's Top Two Picks
As a composer Dan's music has been heard in trailers such as "Babylon A.D.," "The Day The Earth Stood Still," "Tropic Thunder," "Max Payne," "Saw V," "Gran Torino," "Kung Fu Panda," "Shoot Em' Up," "Traitor," and many more - Advertisements for K-Swiss, Ebay, and Sony Blu Ray -Television shows: "The Shield," "Entourage", "CSI: Miami," "Gossip Girl," and "Burn Notice".
ResonBass (Factory Sound Bank / Subtractor Patches / Bass)
This bass tone is extremely versatile, mainly due to the functionality of the Subtractor Synthesizer.
I like to use this bass tone when creating my first bass ideas in the initial stages of writing a song. Many times I end up sticking to the sound once I have a great part and I've tweaked as much as needed. 'ResonBass' can be used as a basic solid bass tone, or for those tweakers out there, you can go crazy with all the extra features in Subtractor.
For example, sweep the "Freq" knob in the "Filter 1" section while playing a rhythm….if you're clever try using automation to remember the performance of the filter. Also, pushing the "Mod" wheel in a separate rhythmic pattern while playing this tone can be very effective. If you really want to explore, try adding the Screamer Distortion to accomplish a full bodied, distorted, grinding bass tone. The thing I love the most about this patch is that it's a simple tone that is effective for several styles of music and there are a million ways to morph the patch with endless amazing results.
Among many compositions, I used this patch last year in a track called "The Chamber" which was featured as the backend of all Trailers for the movie "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead" featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, and Marisa Tomei.
Sound on Sound (Factory Sound Bank / Malstrom Patches / Rhythmic)
The Malstrom has a pretty mean selection to begin with. One of my favorite patches is "Sound On Sound" which adds a rhythmic candy for any song.
The patch has a pulsating vibe that's unmistakable but if mixed in correctly will subliminally add color and movement to your composition without trying too hard. These are the elements that make songs unique and add flavor that leaves the listener questioning why the music sounds so good every time they listen. Try adding the DDL-1 to compliment the rhythm.
This patch is appears in a song called "Bird On A Wire". Lead Singer, Kelly Moneymaker, and I will be releasing the new Silvermoney album "Goddess Killer" in Jan/Feb of 2009.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 22 reviews
Wonderful stay! Great location and friendly staff. Looking forward to next year's stay
We had a wonderful time staying at the Prema Shanti in Val- David, QC! The hotel was very unique and was in a great location close to town, cross-country skiing trails, and the lake! The staff was also extremely friendly and so accommodating. I would suggest anyone to upgrade to the lake view rooms. Even during the winter, the views and light reflecting off the snow is amazing.
The Prema Shanti is located on a lakefront property in the middle of a quiet residential neighbourhood. Although the decorations were very unique, the room had a very musty smell. The room was not cleaned very well and the linens had a strong odour. The pressure of the water in the shower was too strong (to the point of being painful). Dinner at the restaurant was very expensive but delicious, and the view of the lake from the dining room was great. Service was decent.
We had a very comfortable stay at this Inn. It is a little off the biking trail, but close enough to make it a good option for travelers of Le P'tit Train. We arrived early afternoon and our room was already prepared for us. The hotel guest service was quick and efficient. We found our room comfortable and accommodating. We did not eat at the Inn and chose to walk into the main area of town, which took about 15-20 min. We enjoyed sitting by the lake later in the evening. The Inn and the grounds looks a little 'tired' and unkempt, but everything inside the building seemed clean and well kept.
Beautiful room in a serene setting.

Recently we were asked to review a project which was bid by several contractors. Each group had different approaches to the construction repairs required for this 11, 483 sq ft home.
There were elements of this project which were related to construction defects and water intrusion as created by the previous contractors. Our client needed reassurance that this adventure would be one that unequivically corrected the problems. We guaranteed we would. Our Team interviewed with the owner and provided a comprehensive bid to bring the home up to a state of repair that could defeat the questions of a seller disclosure and make the home marketable against any other well maintained or new home. Our goal focused approach was one that no other group bidding the project embraced, or even mentioned. We laid out the process of HOW the work is completed, and a Schedule of WHEN work would be completed, and ultimately how COSTsurprises would be handled. We do this up front every time.
We commenced on the large scale remodel of this exquisite home and completed the work inside the required timeline, with minimal added costs, as related to hidden issues not discovered until after selective demolition was completed. We worked open book with our client who was kept apprised of all activity on a weekly basis.
One strategy employed was a scheduled weekly inspection by Eden Prairie building officials who were an integral part of the overall review process and sign off credentials our work achieved. Working in full view of all interested parties, we completed the project on time and within 8% of the the original budget.

A Picture Worth A Thousand Words. And Bucks!
Following is a presentation (here with minor clarifications) made to the Committee of the Whole (COW), 20 June, 2016, concerning the new logo/slogan of Nelson and Kootenay Lake Tourism (NKLT).
In addition there are thoughts about the NKLT's response in the same COW.
Boring Nelson
Unfortunately for Nelson the new logo and slogan are no improvement over the previous ones. Does anyone remember those? The new ones also fail to make Nelson appear unique.
Being unique: key to tourism-bucks anywhere.
A logo is a face: a pictograph identifying a product, service, place over another with - ideally - must-buy visual impact. It is a determinant in product-, service-, or place-recognition. When strong: potential customers relate positively - curious and eager to buy. When weak: the target-market relates indifferently - reluctant to buy and apt to go with a more focused zap somewhere else.
This Logo
If the new logo - pointlessly jumbled - were not including the word Tourism it might just as easily represent a contractor or plumber. There is no sensitivity, oneness with Nelson, its people and environment. The colorless design as a whole is boring.
This logo is weak.
A slogan is a catchy marker in words - a catch phrase. It may be an addition to the visuals of a logo. Ideally slogan/logo form a compelling whole.
This Slogan's Visuals
Visually Free Spirits & Well-Rounded Squares is no different from the logo. The freedom of these spirits is fixed within a soft-drink label; the well-rounded squares are to be found on the same construction-site - and just as boring.
This Slogan's Message
Plans of free spirits probably are not predetermined by a tour(ism)-guide.
How free can you bee?
If squares refers to the opposite of free spirits: square vs. hip went out of use decades ago. Nobody refers to squares any longer - not even squares! There must be a segment of the NKLT's target-market which has no idea what's meant by squares. Having been around the block a few times - I am well-familiar with that label, but I have never heard of well-rounded squares.
Confusing a target-audience means losing them even before they can be hooked - never mind reeled-in.
Also - well-rounded or not - categorizing potential tourists as squares is patronizing.
This slogan is weak.
Seeing that Nelson depends on tourism, and City Hall enables funding for the NKLT to promote us: it would have been more appropriate to present logo and slogan to Council (or just about anybody not connected to the NKLT) for input before locking them in - not after, whereby not giving outsiders the opportunity for feedback!
It also would have been more constructive to have Nelson participate actively in producing logo/slogan. As done with the Canadian flag, stamps, Olympic logos/slogans.
For a truly inspiring logo and one of the best-known globally: see Joan Miro's of 1983 for Spanish tourism. A piece of art and still affective today!
Here presented reincarnations of Nelson's logo/slogan only connect with each other by their unimaginative heavy-handedness. Neither singly nor together are they likely to inspire an increase in tourism to Nelson and the Kootenay Lake area.
They are not who we are!
Nelson is not boring!
After the presentation to the COW - Dianna Ducs, NKLT, explains that the logo is kept simple because it will often be used together with a picture of beautiful scenery. Sometimes even without the word Tourism. The latter making even less a logo and more unattractive, non-specific location-signage.
Her explanation for/of the double-slogan is that there are many different kinds of tourists coming, even some who may not know the meaning of well-rounded squares but never mind that's okay too. The logic of this escapes.
Clearly - the NKLT is not cognizant of the purpose and power of a logo/slogan as clearly and tightly self-contained tool. Particularly relevant today - with rapid, often truncated communication in visual flash and sound-byte. Instant recognition and time is money more so than ever before.
A major opportunity here continued to be missed and at least as long as this new combo is in promotional use. Possibly years - like the previous ones. Opportunity missed in the tourism-industry equals fewer tourists!

The Goat-Machine
I love Japanese Knotweed! Yes, I know..... regardless...!
Every morning - on my rounds at Lakeside Park - I pass a stretch of the stuff along the fence of the little woodsy hideaway - between the Seeds greenhouse and the playground - which by rights should be mine.
I love the relentless energy driving lush foliage up and across at great speed - seemingly ever taller and farther overnight.
Karen MacDonald - she of all things green - plans to deal with the issue once-and-for-all come fall.
The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) very earnestly lets loose 65(!?!) goats on a six-by-six-meter Knotweed spread, 2 meters high. The goats munch their way across the patch within 45 minutes. Just the leaves, though. With 65 this shouldn't be a surprise - in fact, what takes them so long! What should surprise the lab-coats - with goats usually eating just about anything - why they don't eat the juicy stems. Whatever - this goat-machine clearly does not present a long-term solution to the Knotweed problem: stems and roots remain uneaten, and all will be back to normal real quick.
Another thing surprise surprise! When the UFV goats are done with the weed they get going on what grows next to it. And next to that!
Conclusion of this experiment (should be!): Goats will be goats. And Japanese Knotweed will remain Japanese Knotweed.
Which takes me to Hohhot in Inner Mongolia/China where - in the mid-90s - I teach public health issues, doctor/patient relationships and Qi Gong at the Inner Mongolia Medical College.
Hohhot is Mongolian for Blue City, because a long time ago here are many clear streams; the steppes sway with luxuriant grass and wildflowers; mountains are thickly covered with healthy trees; the sky has a deep clarity. From farther away - all has a silvery-blue shimmer.
Shaman originate here - they are the conduit between the mongke tengeri/eternal sky: as father - and fruit-bearing earth: as mother.
Sa man riding their drums.
Then nomads begin to cluster in villages; they become sedentary. And drums sound louder and more insistent! Sheep and goats overgraze pastures close-by and farther and farther away; trees are cut-down for building-material and firewood. Leading to erosion. To eventually turn silvery-blue shimmer into dry hardscrabble. The predictable usual.
Sheep and goats remain. Continuing to eat anything-nothing!
Sometimes - to Westerners - the Chinese zodiak seems to call the Year of the Goat also Year of the Ram. That comes from - except for cashmere from specific goats and mutton/yang rou - clearly from sheep - to Chinese a goat being a mountain-sheep/shan yang.
The 90s are early days in Beijing's recognition that desertification in the north is a threat to itself as China's capitol and calling-card. Dust-storms up there have been common around April/May - they are becoming more frequent a few hundred km farther south in Beijing.
So - for years now planting trees in the north to put a stop to all this has been the thing to do. Today with while not enough success.
Taking me back to Hohhot.
And goats.
Every year college freshmen are for a day taken to the same village and the same hill to plant trees: this well-recorded by TV and newspapers as the good fight against rapid desertification-creep.
For the students it's all great fun and funny. Fun because it means a day of no classes and funny because of this:
The villagers - with their few goats locked-up somewhere not to get in the way - quietly watch the annual ritual unfold: students are led up the same barren hill as last year's batch. To plant the little trees they carry in their little bags. We are not talking hundreds here at great speed - and for good reasons. They also carry short sticks.
Instructions are to somehow get their trees into the ground. This is not easy because there's no topsoil: that was all blown away as dust a long time ago - and what's left is sun-baked clay, rocks, pebbles and patchy dust-pockets. So students - telegenically dirty in no time - hack, drill, stab, poke holes into the ground with their sticks, pop in trees and perfunctorily fill the holes with clay-bits, pebbles, dust to just keep treelets upright. For the cameras, possibly moms watching this on TV.
There's no water for these trees!
Students finishing first are interviewed by the media on how it feels to fight the desert - for Beijing. It feels just great!
And when all is done students and media-types get back on their buses and take off, drinking a lot of Fanta on the way back to Hohhot. Aaah! To a job well done!
Here comes the funny part. The students know that as soon as they are gone villagers bring their goats up the hill and have them eat every single tree just planted - because in this heat, without water up here and hardly any rain ever - these trees don't stand a chance.
So - planting trees is good!
This one's for Karen!

Park(ade) This!
Currently the City is running a Nelson Downtown Urban Design Strategy: largely focusing on basic benches and bunting on Baker.
Connecting the superficially quite separate need to repair bits of the Parkade with that strategy is an opportunity of possible major impact on downtown.
Repairs planned to Nelson parkade
"The parkade was identified on our list of facilities as needing repairs," facilities maintenance manager Petert Sinstadt said. "The extent of these repairs, including cost and timeline, is yet to be fully determined."
Nelson Star, May 25, 2016
Clearer is that during repairs over a quarter of the now available parking-slots won't be, and reason would dictate that the work is done during off-season. What with Kevin Cormack, CAO, admitting in the same article that downtown parking is limited. Compounded by evidence that - although car sales as such are down somewhat - in a year-by-year comparison sales of SUVs and bruiser pick-ups are up 18%.
The photo here of the Parkade - with a general faded-grey actually poor-exposure overlay - doesn't anywhere near convey the depressingly gloomy-dingey neglect of the real thing.
While it clearly is here to stay for years to come - this write-up does not mention a general face-lift for the structure, which - while imposing in its naked bulk - is a visual deadzone, particularly in close proximity with the leafy Court House across the green-on-green boulevard, the Hume Hotel of 1898 next door and Touchstones - formerly City Hall and in the same grand manner as the Court House - directly across the street from the Hume.
Few people walk by here. Turning their eyes on the Parkade they will look into the dark at-your-own-risk hole of a frequently unguarded entrance and to its left deep space of more dark.
What with drivers in both directions having to focus into and out of a tricky intersection and the Parkade not demanding visual attention: probably few - definitely not City Hall ever - look at it, are even conscious of it as a unit in context.
While the City owns it - a contractual operator runs it. Meaning - until this current routine assessment of structural viability: It's not my job!
For many who drive downtown to work this is a guaranteed place to park for the work-day, week, month, year. This is the place where they begin their day downtown and end it.
In depressingly gloomy-dingey neglect.
Way to go, day!
For unaccustomed tourists this assault on their sensibilities must be even more disconcerting. First and last impression: Welcome to dinge! Come back soon to dinge!
Worse yet after dark! Can we talk about safe?
What with cars clearly not going away and street-parking becoming more and more difficult: international city-planning - for some time now - has been looking at the unavoidable fact of parking-garages needing to be embraced, thus making them creative statements. Always stunning at night. Sometimes turning them into multi-purpose structures where not only to park one's car but spend time shopping, be entertained.
Our Parkade's bland face lends itself easily to a make-over with imaginative physical facade-additions (day) and dramatic lighting (night). As in examples throughout here.
Perfectly located to become the catalyst for substantiating a new district: a grander downtown developing around Vernon/Ward.
A less shop local center - all buildings interconnected with stunning lighting: Parkade > Hume > Touchstones > City Hall > Court House > Parkade. The 2 possibly most substantial buildings in Nelson - across from each other - are visually dead after dark. One the local hub for arts and history - the other the local hub for justice (I know, I know!). The heart of the city - City Hall - doesn't beat after hours: a part-time heart. The plaza in front - supposed to become a meeting-place when? - currently also shuts down after dark. The bear sculpture..... what bear sculpture? The Hume - heritage for days! - has a glimmer of very intense - edgy in contrast - light running around its top in a narrow band. And this works! More would work more!
One wonders how many people - particularly when alone - are scared of entering the Parkade thus don't - even less inclined after dark. A clean, bright even engaging interior would take care of that: make being there welcoming, inviting. As in a fun-option for parking!
The rooftop is used once a year for the Nelson Road Kings' party after the Sep. car show. Why only then?
Special official/private events? Live rooftop music for all of downtown?
With this Design Strategy City Staff once again is running an out-of-town consultant: once again to organize a vision. What we need on Baker is to vigorously hose-down all heritage buildings. Vision that!
More exciting could be the prospect of creating a dramatic Vernon/Ward district.
A place to ooh-and aah!
Bringing locals and tourists downtown after dark!
With plans for Parkade repairs seemingly nowhere near locked-in: while they're at it - this is the time to turn the whole structure into a creative statement. Possibly get the current consultant involved. A confluence of possibilities. To eventually follow with building by above-mentioned building. In lights!
A bold vision!

Not Here You Don't!
Seeing that this is Local Government Awareness Week: all attentively following the gestation-process of the proposed local panhandling-bylaw would seem appropriate.
As in general would be attending Council Meetings; personally expressing opinions in Committees of the Whole (COW) and connecting through messages with Mayor Kozak, CAO Kevin Cormack and City Council. With copies to all!
Pro-active in all matters civic!
Following is a presentation made to the COW, 16 May, 2015 - here with added depth(-charges). Its premise: This bylaw is tailor-made for/by a special-interests group. It has nothing to do with panhandling as such but everything with cleansing Nelson of untouchables - the whole unsightly lot of them!
While it would be impossible to push through a bylaw forbidding all untouchables on "our" streets - democracy, human rights, etc. - it is doable to fashion a punitive panhandling-bylaw for a few and demonize all in/by the process.
This follows post
Loitering Over Coffee
6 May, 2016
Although this bylaw supposedly is requested by the Nelson Police Department (NPD) and Bylaw Officers - but not the Bylaw Enforcement Department as such under then Deputy Chief Burkart - at its introduction to Council no documentation whatsoever is provided to substantiate the need for such bylaw. A letter concerning it is not submitted by Chief Holland until about 6 weeks after the requested (by whom, really?) introduction - this without the Nelson Police Board's input.
Information on 24 incidents in 2015 under the Safe Streets Act - while broken down into levels of severity - does not mention any cases of panhandling or aggressive panhandling. Making talk about a needed aggressive-panhandling bylaw spurious - in view of the small number of actual panhandlers we do have to begin with.
The Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce's (NDCC) Board of Directors last summer adopts a resolution in favor of an "aggressive panhandling bylaw that would regulate behavior and also where the panhandling could take place, but not make it illegal."
The NDCC laying down the law of the streets!
A survey run by the Chamber - targeting its downtown-business members for support of such bylaw - curiously results in a "not large sample size" of 22 respondents of whom about 16 are in favor.
This survey is indirectly contradicted in the
LETTER: Address panhandling through creative means
Nelson Star, 25 Nov, 2015
Here Mari Plamondon - owner of Wait's News, corner of Baker/Ward - writes about a meeting of the Downtown Business Association, Oct. 2015: "The topic of discussion was the proposed panhandling bylaw...... I was hesitant to attend for I was concerned that my ideas may not be shared by others. I was pleasantly surprised that in a room of close to 40 people, only 3 spoke in favor of the bylaw."
Presumably (many/most) members of this association are members of the NDCC as well. So what's with this survey!?
A BC Civil Liberties Association letter to the Mayor's Office reads:
"The BC Civil Liberties Association has a number of concerns about the contents of the bylaw, its necessity and its legality. We urge you not to pass this bylaw and to invest instead in measures that will address the root causes of poverty and homelessness, including mental-health support and affordable housing."
The BCCLA clearly broadens the focus, with panhandling one symptom only. As does our Street Culture Collaborative and those members of City Council opposed to this bylaw.
My informal survey of panhandling on Baker - Mon, May 9 to Sun, May 15, all around mid-day - finds: Mon-1; Tue-2: Wed-3: Thu-2: Fri-1; Sat-1; Sun-2.
The total is 12, but as one individual is there on 6 days: the number of different panhandlers actually is only 7 in one week. None aggressive; none obstructing anyone/anything.
Neither City Staff, nor the NPD or the NDCC have ever run a formal, detailed on-the-ground survey on the actual number of active panhandlers specifically at any given time.
It is hypocritical to - on one hand - say: they have no income, so panhandling is the only option some have, while - on the other hand - prepare to cut down drastically on place/time where/when they may be allowed to panhandle. Also - bemoaning homelessness while deliberately designing the new Cottonwood Market in a way to make sleeping there impossible for those without a bed to go to! And announcing that publicly!
This proposed bylaw is not about panhandlers in attack-mode but shop-till-you-drop without visual irritants.
It is self-serving and inhumane!

Loitering Over Coffee
Council - this week and for the 3. time over 7 months - is dealing with a panhandling bylaw-or-not - and while ordinarily one might say get on with it already: still not having arrived at a definitive conclusion is a good thing!
A good thing what with never before these Councillors - or any before them in my experience - having been as well-prepared and thoughtful while openly expressing themselves. As all did with respectful acceptance of each other's opinions within a functioning unit and those possibly effected by their decision.
1. Time
After the proposed bylaw's first appearance - 1. & 2. Readings without a burp, last October - this blog points out its problematic authorship, lack of substantiating documentation and inconsistencies within the text of the bylaw's Request for Decision.
The need for it seems manufactured.
The blog also poses the never-before question: When will we start talking with instead of at/about these people the bylaw is supposed to manage? handle? contain?
2. Time
The following month Council - nudged into realizing their unpreparedness for the topic thus far - decides to connect with various community groups, businesses, citizens for input before giving the proposal its 3. Reading. What with very few panhandlers on Baker at this time of the year, it is decided to put the bylaw on ice until spring of 2016.
Business Input
can't make the meeting tomorrow. i as a business owner for 20 years on baker st we don't want panhandling or busking in front of my store ever, it is not what i want people to have to walk through to get into my shop . it should be contained somewhere out of everyone's way . perhaps another town ?.
Jeff Grosch
The Sacred Ride
213b Baker Street
A request for public participation soon leads to forming the Street Culture Collaborative, a group to look at just that: street culture - with panhandling only one expression of a much larger pernicious problem. And the need to connect compassionately and respectfully with the vulnerable affected by pervasive socio-economic difficulties: the lack of affordable housing and support-systems across the board.
After initial exploration - constructive goals have been set by the Collaborative.
3. Time
With a 4 to 3 vote the bylaw passes this week through its 3. Reading but will not be adopted for at least another month. Adoption is not a foregone conclusion - Councillors can still change their minds/votes, and they express that here.
For an exhaustive rundown of this Council Meeting go to
Panhandling bylaw passes third reading
Nelson Star, May 4, 2016
Seeing that the untouchables all look alike - with real people avoiding even just visual contact - it is easy to lump them all together: they're all drug-addicts; they're all homeless; they're all mentals; they're all panhandlers - they're all to be feared.
Yet few of them actually are panhandlers, and they certainly are not aggressive. Clearly - panhandling is not a threat to anyone (except business-interests!).
We already have the Safe Streets Act - with its consumer-focused restrictions. Hardly applicable to Smallishtown to begin with: largely duplicating the Act for only a small segment of the untouchables with this bylaw is punitive - no matter how much real people protest of course it isn't!
While it lists where panhandling is not allowed - just about everywhere - leaving little space to actually make a bit of spare-change. Forcing those who want to stay within the imposed limits to panhandle in close proximity to each other - competing for quarters!
Even though - at the same time - Mayor Kozak acknowledges that some spots are more profitable than others (will they still be permissible?), and that panhandling is the only means some of them have to get by! So what gives here!
VERB: Loiter
For some reason they discourage loitering outside the store, but encourage it inside.
Which pretty much says it all. It has at last been determined that a surprisingly large number of locals have no home. Being homeless probably means they have little money. So Baker may be the outside-loiterers' social life, entertainment, news-network - their distracting buzz.
Local coffee-houses - of which we have zillions - are packed at all times with inside-loiterers for their social life, entertainment, news-network - their distracting buzz.
If the outside-loiterers had a welcoming place to go to - working on their tan in the park won't cut it - they surely would. Having the mayor approve of this bylaw - which she does - is not a welcoming gesture by City Hall. Neither is having the so-called Cottonwood Park Public Performance & Market Building designed specifically to keep the untouchable public out! Announced as such by the mayor. Although even homeless loiterers have to sleep somewhere. But some of the public are just too public!
Inviting the untouchables to hang on the grass, under the trees in front of City Hall would be a welcoming gesture, indeed! Toilet facilities and everything! How about it! No?
(Councillor) Purcell said she wants to put the bylaw off for a year to give the Street Culture Collaborative time to do its work. They have great ideas on how to address the issues from a comprehensive community-based non-punitive response.
They already have one of their points in place with the mental health first-aid training, and they are hiring a coordinator to be in place by September. We should give them a chance to have that out-reach and change the culture.
Same Star write-up
This - instead of unproductively focus on just a small segment. Also - the needlessness of this bylaw is bound to cause anger among all untouchables - thus possible confrontations with bylaw officers. While we haven't had any so far and possibly won't without the bylaw's fences.
A positive outcome of this process - regardless of the bylaw's adoption or not - is the manifesting hands-on awareness of the enormity of problems facing many among us.
And - of course - Council becoming a pro-active unit!
Although the panhandling-issue in Council this week is prominently announced in the Star - there is next to no turn-out for it in Council Chambers.
So much for inside-loiterers' concerns around panhandling!

The EcoSociety and Big Lumber
Nelson council endorses Cottonwood Market Concept
Bill Metcalfe, Star 23 Mar, 2016
The budget for the market could exceed $600.000 (elsewhere 750.000) through possible participation of Kalesnikoff Lumber, the Interior Lumber Manufacturers Association and Spearhead Timberworks ($150.000 to $200.000), the Regional District of Central Kootenay and Columbia Basin Trust ($200.000 to $300.000), local businesses, in-kind and cash ($50.000 to $100.000) and other grants.
With Council not questioning the absurd nothingness of all this, just as it hadn't questioned the even less earlier declaration by City Staff to Council that an unnamed local business intends to contribute significantly to building the new structures - Star, 19 Nov, 2015. This unnamed community partner even and totally inappropriately featured prominently in the official Request for Decision asking Council for an initial $12.600 to fund a market pre-plan plan.
Kevin Cormack, CAO, in the same meeting saying that the unnamed business deals in wood.
Council ending-up approving a combined 42.600 tax-dollars for the project. After asking way too few pertinent questions!
In fact - all issues raised, questions posed in this blog and my current letter in the Star since the oddly reasoned/timed demolition of the Cottonwood Market as was should have been part of Council's job - before approving (of what precisely?) now altogether $82.600.
But this post is not a focus on money as such but lumber/wood leading to trees leading to logging leading to watersheds leading to - the West Kootenay EcoSociety.
The EcoSociety (and Market-project) is run by David Reid - often critical of what's perceived as wanton wood-chucking - the tree-huggers' nightmare. Making him, them and the wood-chuckers strange bed-fellows, indeed! One would think!
Kalesnikoff Lumber (KL) is a major head-scratcher in this context: why would they want to get into this menage?
Weeell - even since before the first time the Cottonwood Market Replacement came before Council, the citizenry of Glade has been in strong opposition to KL's planned logging in their area: greatly concerned for the Glade watershed because of these projected activities.
For details google Kalesnikoff Glade.
Seeing that Glade is located in the West Kootenays and a possible loudly vocal critic to be found in the West Kootenay EcoSociety: putting a contribution their way may be a P.R. move. Not to be overlooked: Kalesnikoff is not even located in Nelson - while in the West Kootenays - so what could their interest possibly be in a Nelson farmers' market?
This may also be asked of the other wood-chuckers - named/unnamed - as possible financial contributors!
Council? Please?
No matter what - one needs to wonder about a conflict-or-not of principles (the old Hillary thing!) between Reid's Jumbo agendas and even just considering to accept funding from a source currently with a huge environmental-image problem.
Public Perception!
The job of the media is not to protect the powerful from embarrassment.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, seemed to say on national TV Wednesday that he is open to considering repeal of the ban on gays in the military — creating an uproar on many political and gay-activist Web sites.
Then on Thursday, he issued a statement saying he does not support repeal — and blasted liberal groups for what he said was twisting his position.
"It's deeply regrettable that liberal groups are misconstruing my position on 'don't ask, don't tell' for activist purposes. I certainly do not support repealing this policy," Hatch's statement on Thursday said.
But a day earlier, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell asked Hatch in a live interview about repealing the policy — as proposed by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union speech, and supported by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen.
"I believe there are very outstanding, patriotic gay people who serve in the military and they ought to be given credit for it. And they shouldn't have to lie about being gay," Hatch said.
But, he added, "On the other hand, I think a lot of people are concerned that if you do away with the 'don't ask, don't tell,' that literally then they'll come back and ask for special rights and preferences and privileges that others don't have. I don't see that either. So, like I say, I just plain do not believe in prejudice of any kind."
Mitchell then asked, "You're willing to vote for the change?"
Hatch said, "Well, I don't know about that. I'd have to look at it," noting that Mullen has proposed a study of up to a year on the policy and its consequences. "I'd like to wait until the end and then see what they come up with and see what happens. But I can see why both sides are upset. I just want to do what's right."
Mitchell said, "I can put you down as at least being open to the idea?"
"I am," Hatch said. Mitchell added, "That's a very interesting statement."
It almost immediately caused political and gay-activist Web sites to speculate that lifting the gay ban might be a real possibility if Hatch were for it. Then Hatch issued his follow-up statement saying that he opposes repeal.
"What I said was that I want to see Adm. Mullen's report. This is a controversial issue with inflamed passions on both sides," Hatch said.
"Over the years, the views of the military officers and experts, whom I respect, have said that repealing 'don't ask, don't tell' would make life for our troops more difficult — especially as our armed forces wage a global war on terrorism," Hatch said.
He added, "I always try to be fair and stand by what's right and that is why I look forward to reviewing the admiral's report."
