A sidescroller action/adventure/puzzler revolution
Prince of Persia had brought forth a revolution in the realm of sidescroller games; while games such as Super Mario Bros had brought an edge to the actual platforming, this is the game that brought forth realistic animations ( the prince's movements were motion captured, to be as realistic, and to recreate the movement of a real human) physicality, and also a great balance of elements, puzzles, jumps, backtracking as well as well choreographed fights. All of these elements were realized well enough (though they may feel a little awkward to a novice player) by themselves, but all of them combined produced a very engaging game. Also, there are a few different graphical variations to the game; it could be played in EGA or full VGA, with a full spectrum of colors; this later options, for those lucky enough to have a proper PC (686 or above!) was a real graphical treat. So,give it a try, Prince of Persia is still a fresh sidescroller action, puzzler game, a game that did a lot for the action and sidescroller genre years before other games would jump at the opportunity.
Save the princess from the sultan's advisor
Price of Persia is the first in a series of 8 games that are released up to date and it is one of the best platform games in history. The game is set around an unnamed protagonist (you) that has to escape the dungeons of the palace of the Persian sultan and save his daughter from the confinement of his vizier, Jaffar. The catch is that you only have an hour to do this. There are traps in the shape of spikes, pitfalls and deadly guards and you have to avoid them all to get to the end of the level. The game is extremely hard to play and you will have to work hard to go through the whole 12 levels within an hour. The game is very old but still has anviable animation for that time. The protagonists has great agility and gymnastic abilities, he can jump, climb, kick and run with such ease that you almost forget that you are playing a game but seeing a real person doing those things. The game is fantastically exciting and fun to play and I used to play it for hours as a kid. The sound department is lacking, unfortunately. The sound effects are the most basic so that is a small setback. Otherwise, a fantastic game! Be sure not to miss out this game or the game's sequels, Prince of Persia 2 and 3D version of Prince.

Just the other day I found myself in Pamplona and I couldn't help but notice some billboards that Pamplona City Hall had put up in order to promote the city.
San Cernin Church... The Road to Santiago...the façade of the City Hall building...and, of course, the Running of The Bulls and Sanfermin.
What I just could not figure out was why in the middle of the large poster and right at the forefront, there was a huge monarch butterfly? As far as I know, this particular lepidopteron is not to be found anywhere within the vicinity of Pamplona. I mean to say, they may as well have put up an alligator on the same billboard over the caption: "Pamplona, the city of giant reptiles". Come to see "A Running of the Alligators".
Well, I am not a scientific expert but I would swear that, at least ever since Navarra left off being an Independent Kingdom way back in 1512, there have been no more monarchs to be seen around Pamplona. And what is true for sure is that that particular species is not in any way representative of the city itself.

There are two candidates seeking to fill the unexpired term of a Columbia Township trustee.
What are the biggest issues facing your township?
Blankenship: NEORSD (storm sewers), the Ohio EPA (uniform septic systems) and vandalism.
Rundle: One of the top issues is the storm water, especially in Columbia. The entire economy of the township, and that has to do with budgets.
How do you plan to address them?
Blankenship: My plan is to request the Lorain County commissioners represent the residents of the township and stand with us against the storm utility project. I would appeal to Matt Lundy to keep pressure on the bill that would prevent the Ohio EPA from passing the uniform septic mandates on us. I would ask the citizens of Columbia to become more involved with the prevention of vandalism and area crime and be aware of what is happening in our community.
Rundle: In regards to the storm water, we are working with the county engineer and we are trying to clean our streams and ditches. We need to stop the water runoff from impervious areas and we need to make sure subdivisions have retention basins and that they can hold water. We don't want a sudden rush of water. Basins will hold the water and let it go slowly.
As for the economy, we are applying for grants and we are also trying to work smarter and cheaper at the same time. We are trying to get our budgets in line and cut out any unnecessary spending.
What makes you stand out from the other candidates?
Blankenship: I have fresh ideas on old issues and with my job I have a real world prospective on some of the problems we face.
Rundle: I believe I understand the problems and I know the people to go to to get some of these things accomplished. One thing you cannot forget is that as a trustee, you are an employee of the public, and the constituents are our bosses and we will do what we can for the greatest number.

Alex Wilson Invitational | Outdoor Opener Results
March 2, 2013
STANFORD, Calif. - The Stanford Outdoor Opener was low-key, but Rebecca Hammar and Elaine Patten provided their best performances to highlight the track and field event Saturday at Cobb Track & Angell Field.
Hammar, a sophomore, threw the discus a personal record 171-10 to move into No. 7 on Stanford's all-time outdoor performance list.
And senior high jumper Elaine Patten cleared 5-8 ¾ to earn her collegiate best and move into a tie for No. 10 on Stanford's all-time list.
Hammar and Patten joined Geoffrey Tabor (men's discus) and Lucas Rowley (hammer) among Stanford winners in the five-school non-scoring meet.
Stanford, Cal, Fresno State, UC Davis, and USF brought athletes to the meet.
Hammar improved upon her best of 170-5, while Patten had a collegiate best of 5-8.
A night after competing in the shot put at the UW Final Qualifier indoor meet, Tabor made his season discus debut with a throw of 182-6 in his main event.
Rowley, a sophomore making his collegiate debut, won the hammer throw at 182-11.
* * *
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Stanford women made three additions to the Cardinal all-time indoor Top-10 lists through their performances at the Alex Wilson Invitational at Notre Dame's Loftus Sports Center.
Kori Carter won the 200 in 23.63 for the No. 3 performance in Stanford history, bettering her winning time at least week's Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championships by 0.01.
She also was second in the 60 hurdles in 8.19, a time that only she has exceeded in Stanford history.
In addition, freshman Kristyn Williams ran 54.34 in the 400 for the No. 4 time in school history, placing ninth. And Carissa Levingston was sixth in the 200 in 24.02, which ties her for the No. 7 spot in Stanford indoor annals.
Though Carter in on the bubble to reach the NCAA Championships, none of Stanford's other competitors on Saturday have marks in the nation's Top 16, which would qualify them for the NCAA's March 8-9 in Fayetteville, Ark. The final qualifying list will be released Sunday.

Customer service nightmare No. 13
Whether we like it or not, a retail business is all about service. Any business is all about service, but retailers live and die on the experience the customer has as much as the product they walk out the door with.
Poor service is a big deal. It not only makes consumers unhappy, it causes them to tell everyone they know. Remember the old study: A happy customer will tell two or three people, the unhappy one will tell eight to 10. The thing about poor service that I find the most frustrating is that it's usually not hard to give the customer good service. And a perfect example happened to me recently.
I was in the need of some balloons — a lot of balloons — for a party. I was pressed for time, so I searched for balloons and came up with Party City, a very logical place to buy balloons. I called several days in advance to place an order, but was told by the clerk that they could no longer place advanced orders — due to a helium shortage. Really? But I could order them the day I needed to pick them up.
OK, so day of the party I call back and reiterate my need for 50 balloons with their special additive (an additional 25 cents) so they would last longer than 10 hours. The same clerk told me that they didn't take orders that way. I would have to come in and pay for the balloons, then wait for them to blow them up. I know there was frustration in my voice as I explained that I didn't have time to wait because of the party. He offered no solution, so I hung up.
I re-Googled and came up with Factory Card and Party Outlet where I had a totally different experience. The young woman on the phone was polite and efficient. She said I could come in and get the balloons but — unprompted — said, "If you use a credit card, we can take the order over the phone." Magic words to me. Balloons sold. I'll bet a lot of money that Party City could have done the same thing, but they lost a sale because my point of contact either did not care or had not been trained to pay attention.
I have a soft spot in my heart for retail sales people because my mother sold bedding and furniture at retail for many years. She would literally follow a customer out of the store if it would help her get a sale. Drive is hard to teach, but it's not impossible.
I guess if I were writing the 10 commandments of retail, the first one might be: Really listen to your customer. What do they need? I needed the convenience of placing a phone order. Your customer might need to check out samples. Or have a sales person come to the house.
Being flexible and accommodating is what good service is all about. It not only gets the sale, it gets the good will of the customer and the good word of mouth he or she will spread on your behalf. And that matters a lot when you live and die by service.

Begin the Beguine
By User12607341-Oracle on Aug 03, 2004
To be perfectly honest, it is with some trepidation that I have started this blog. While I marvel at this new opportunity to be a part of these conversations with the various Sun communities, I worry that it will be difficult time-wise to stay involved. Perhaps I also share some of the feelings expressed by Casper when he says that that it feels like talking into thin air. In any case, this is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to hear from you about what concerns you have and how we can make Solaris that nexus of innovation as well as a way of solving your computing needs.
Briefly, I have been working at Sun on Solaris for a little over eight years now, initially in the networking group responsible for the TCP/IP stack and related technologies and for the past couple of years, in the area of server virtualization and resource management working inside a group with Andy and Dan and a number of others in introducing Zones into Solaris.
Zones provide a new operating system abstraction for partitioning systems so that multiple applications can be run in isolation from one another, while perhaps being administered by different privileged users. It borrows in a number of ways from the concepts introduced by FreeBSD Jails but extends it to be full integrated with the features that Solaris offers. In my opinion, the most exciting point of integration is with the Solaris Resource Management framework which was introduced in Solaris 8 and greatly enhanced in Solaris 9 and 10 because combined they provide the necessary characteristics to fully isolate applications and workloads from one another. Together, these two technologies form the basis of N1 Grid Containers which are supported on all system that Solaris supports, from single-processor x86 laptops, to large, multi-processor servers.
For a brief but semi-technical overview of Solaris Zones, a good starting point is the paper we presented at a work-in-progress session at the recent USENIX VM '04 conference. For more information in general about Zones, the Zones BigAdmin site provides a great deal of information including a pointer to the latest documentation on these technologies and an active discussion forum. And to repeat a popular refrain, we encourage you to not just read about Zones and the other new functionality in Solaris 10, but to experience it yourself by downloading it from the Software Express for Solaris site.

I really just could not resist when I first saw the newest blog entry over at Ironhide Game Studios. They posted the first look at the announced Kingdom Rush 2 with a screenshot (posted below) that really showcases a lot!
Here is the screenshot and I'll discuss what caught my attention below:
So one of the first things you should notice is that the general look as not changed too much from the original Kingdom Rush which is a good thing. What's not broke should not be fixed. But other than that you can see a lot of new features and units. I see some Venus fly trap plants which are probably situational enemies/allies seeing as how the location in the screenshot does seem fairly tropical. You also have gorilla enemies it seems as they are walking the same line as the enemies. There also seems to be a few new tower types. One looks like a tiki, another has a pirate flag on it and some others look new but cannot quite tell what is going on.
Overall, just based on this screenshot I am super excited for Kingdom Rush 2 to come out and it already looks like it'll live up to its predecessor.

Product Description
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolism disorder affecting the way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy. It is a serious, lifelong condition. Each year, about 800,000 people are diagnosed with it. An estimated 16 million people in the United States have diabetes, and about one-third of those people have not yet been diagnosed.
For the body to use food normally, it is broken down primarily into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. For glucose to get into cells, insulin must be present. When we eat, the pancreas will normally produce the right amount of the hormone insulin to automatically move glucose from blood into our cells. With diabetes, however, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the cells do not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. Glucose builds up in the blood, overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body. Thus, the body loses its main source of fuel even though the blood contains large amounts of glucose.
In this pamphlet, Dr. Roach discusses types of diabetes, symptoms, testing, and approaches to managing diabetes.

|Global instability in mechanical systems via geometrical methods
|Department of Mathematics Colloquium
|Amadeu Delshams, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya
|I will describe two different settings where geometrical methods can be applied to detect (global) instability in mechanical systems: a priori chaotic and a priori unstable Hamiltonian systems. A very wide class of geodesic flows in any dimension plus a quasi-periodic perturbation give rise to a priori chaotic Hamiltonian system, whereas a priori unstable Hamiltonian systems take place in considering periodic perturbations of a (or some) pendulum plus a (or some) rotor. In both cases, there is a very big invariant object called NHIM (normally hyperbolic invariant manifold), which apart from its inner dynamics, possesses an outer dynamics, due to the transversal intersection of its associated unstable and stable invariant manifolds, which is described by the so called scattering map. The combination of both dynamics along the NHIM gives rise to chaotic and unstable global behavior. This talk is based on joint work with Gemma Huguet, Rafael de la Llave and Tere M. Seara.

"The Redemption of Henry Myers," a Hallmark Channel Original World Premiere, debuted on Sunday, March 23, 2014. The love story stars Drew Waters and Erin Bethea. A hard-living outlaw finds a chance for redemption when a loving Christian family comes into his life in "The Redemption of Henry Myers."
Drew Waters ("Friday Night Lights") and Erin Bethea ("Fireproof") star with Jaden Roberts ("Brother's Keeper"), Ezra Proch ("Seven Days in Utopia"), Beau Smith ("Deep in the Heart") and Rio Alexander ("The Last Stand") in this prairie love story from Executive Producer Rick Santorum.
Henry Myers (Waters) is living a hard life, surviving on the frontier any way he can even if it means robbing a bank. Henry and his partners-in-crime, Clay (Smith) and Mac (Alexander), are in the process of robbing a bank when gunfire starts. Sheriff Tom hears (Luce Rains) the gunfire and runs into the bank. Henry grabs a bag of money and takes refuge in a church, where he hides the stolen money under a floorboard.
The pastor walks in and Henry accidentally shoots him. As the pastor dies, he gives Henry his Bible and says, "You can change." Henry scurries out of the church, jumps on a horse and rides off into the prairie.
A year later, Henry is tracked down by Clay and Mac, who want their money from the bank heist. Henry tries to trick them but ends up being shot. Weak and injured, Henry falls off his horse, and lays dying.
Marilyn (Erin Bethea), a God-fearing widow, finds Henry and along with her children, Will (Proch), and Laura (Roberts), takes him into their home so they can nurse him back to health. Henry is not accustomed to people taking care of him, but in his weakened state, he has no choice but to accept their help.
Under Marilyn's care, Henry begins to question the choices he has made. He wonders is he can turn his life around, but his past is about to catch up with him.
Mac and Clay are still hunting Henry down, and the law is hunting for all three of the outlaws. Henry comes to realize that the pastor that he shot down is Marilyn's late husband and that Sheriff Tom is the pastor's father.

We can't be the only ones who tune into Food Network on a fairly regular basis. How else are we going to spend a too-broke-to-get-martinis Saturday evening? So we're frequently treated to the sight of some food show host or other scarfing down a Stroopwafel ($15 for 12) from The Good Batch in NYC. And we were glad to find out that said bakery ships out these classic Dutch cookies so that we can get our eat on the next time we're stuck at home on a Friday. Because seriously, nothing is more disheartening than eating a bowl of Grape-Nuts while watching Cupcake Wars.
These are best eaten after being placed carefully on top of a freshly-brewed mug of tea (or coffee). The heat from the drink melts the caramel inside ever-so-slightly.
Seriously life-changing stuff.

The Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, commonly known as the Duck Stamp, has been a crucial tool for wetland habitat conservation since the 1930s. Funds raised from stamp sales go to work in the National Wildlife Refuge System. There are more than 540 units in the NWR System that are being expanded or improved because of the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp.
The stamp program is one of the most successful conservation initiatives ever.
Millions of acres and dollars generated
Since 1934, revenue from stamp sales has totaled over $700 million, and has secured almost six million acres of wetland and grassland habitat for numerous species of birds and wildlife.
At Eagle Optics, we encourage you to pass the stamp-purchasing idea on to all of your wildlife-minded friends and help support bird and habitat conservation:

"For the most part, it was go where they told me," said Palma, a three-time first-team all-Tulare County selection.
Not that he minded. Pixley, a rural town of about 3,300 people located about an hour east of Fresno, had no high school, so Palma attended Mission Oak, about 15 miles away. He was just grateful for an opportunity to play football at a brand new school.
"It was a very big deal," Palma said.
So was he. As a sophomore, Palma made a school-record 17 tackles, eight for loss, against Porterville High. He was still peeved about the outcome the following Monday when his coaches informed him of the record.
"I was mad we lost," said the 6-foot-2, 259-pound freshman, who is working at inside linebacker at Stanford. "We were reviewing film and they told me. Coach dialed up a couple blitzes where I ended in the backfield before the ball was handed off. My defensive line gave me some big holes. Everything kind of worked out."
Of his 66 tackles last season, 19 were for loss and he forced two fumbles. Palma also caught 25 passes for 370 yards and 10 touchdowns at tight end.
"Junior and senior year, I barely got in on defense because we were so strong," he said. "I naturally liked defense because I was coming here to play defense. I had offers on both sides, but felt this was the best choice."
Palma also considered Colorado – where he had a chance to start – and Oregon State, who recruited him at tight end. But Cardinal special teams coach Pete Alamar sold him on Stanford.
"They're one of the top defenses in the country, so that drew my attention automatically," said Palma. "Coach Alamar was my recruiting coach and told me about the opportunities and that they wouldn't throw me in right away if I wasn't ready."
With eight starters back, the Cardinal defense is stacked with talent. That will give Palma time to learn and absorb the system.
"I do well for not really knowing it as well as I know receiver," said Palma. "So I think I have more potential to excel at linebacker."
Admittedly, college football is a big jump from high school.
"It's a lot more complex," he said. "We ran a pretty simple defense with a lot less checks. A lot of the older guys said it took them most of (fall) camp to get used to the defense."
Palma, a four-star recruit by Scout and 247Sports, was named the 10th-best middle linebacker in the country by Scout and California's 26th best overall prospect. He also lettered in basketball and track and field, and qualified for the state meet in the shot put with a throw of 54-6.
Growing up, Palma was a big Raiders fan, mostly because his father loved the team.
"I don't know why, but I was always drawn toward Charles Woodson," said Palma. "I always wore No. 24 in middle school when I played safety. As I got older and learned the game, I looked at Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates a lot as tight end/receivers. Last year, I followed Patrick Willis and Ray Lewis. I'm wearing No. 44 at Stanford because it was my first football number in Pop Warner."
He has big shoes to fill. The last Cardinal player to wear the number was All-American linebacker Chase Thomas, now with the Raiders.

Palo Alto native Mark Soltau has spent his life and much of his career around Stanford sports. A sportswriter for 37 years, Soltau spent 16 (1981-97) at the San Francisco Examiner, where he covered not only the Cardinal, but all five 49ers Super Bowl-championship teams. Golf always has been his passion and Soltau served as the sport's beat writer for the Examiner, national golf writer for CBS Sportsline, contributing editor to Golf Digest, and since 1997 has been the editor of tigerwoods.com.

Ancona Chicken
Ancona Chicken
Breed Club SecretaryMr P. E. Smedley
Philip Leckby House, Flaxton, North Yorkshire,
HistoryThe Ancona Chicken is named after the province of Ancona in Italy from where specimens were brought to the UK and shown in 1851 (for the Great Exhibition). Believed by many to be closely related to the original Mottled Lehghorn further imports in the 1890's and later from both America and Italy concentrated the breed characteristics to the spangled fowl of today. The Ancona Chicken takes its name from the City of Ancona, a port in Italy, from which the first Ancona Chickens were shipped to England.
The Ancona Chicken went to America from England in 1888.
Within Italy they were found in reds, browns and white which would account for the occasional copper appearing in neck hackles it being a genetic throwback.
CharacteristicsThis calls for the comb to be single or rose with long wattles as in other Mediterranean breeds with a white v shaped tip to the feathers and beetle green metallic sheen to the feathers.
Available large and miniature. Can be flighty. Bold active birds excellent foragers. Very good laying average with a good food / egg conversion due to light body wieghts. This is a non-sitting fowl. They are excellent layers of white shelled eggs and have yellow skin.. The cockerels are slow and difficult to fatten.
Breed TipsFor laying rather than showing use the lighter birds especially in the under fluff. Check also for a very upright tail discarding any squirrel tails as they are normally poor layers.
For breeding the birds with no white splashing and no white in the under fluff are the best consistently.
Supreme layers in relation to food consumption
PurposeEgg layer
ClassificationLight / Soft feather
Egg ColorWhite to cream
Egg Numbers160 / 180 per annum

Entanglement, the new novel based on the teachings of New York Times bestselling author Gregg Braden, explores the world of quantum physics through the experiences of twin brothers.
Charlie and Jack Franklin have always experienced life differently than your average brothers. As children, each was able to sense when the other was in danger, when the other was sad, or when the other was happy. As adults, these two brothers took different paths: Jack stayed in their hometown to practice his art and Charlie joined the army, only to be deployed to Afghanistan.
After a frightening vision wakes Jack up from a deep sleep, he begins his quest to get in touch with Charlie. Along the way, he encounters his high-school physics teacher, who helps him understand the connection the brothers have and the larger universal oneness of which we are all a part.

In 1944, Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, shocked the world by saying that this "matrix" is where the birth of stars, the DNA of life, and everything between originates.
Recent discoveries reveal dramatic evidence that Planck's matrix - The Divine Matrix - is real. It is this missing link in our understanding that provides the container for the universe, the bridge between our imagination and our reality, and the mirror in our world for what we create in our beliefs.
To unleash the power of this matrix in our lives, we must understand how it works and speak the language that it recognizes. For more than 20 years, Gregg Braden, a former senior aerospace computer systems designer, has searched for the understanding to do just that.
In this paradigm-shattering book, Gregg shares what he's found. Through 20 keys of conscious creation, we're shown how to translate the miracles of our imagination into what is real in our lives. With easy-to-understand science and real-life stories, Gregg shows us that we're limited only by our beliefs, and what we once believed is about to change!

I love Tim Tebow as much as the next Gator. But I'm not going to let Gator history be rewritten. Tebow may well be one of the greatest college players of all time, but he remains the second greatest Gator. Danny Wuerffel remains the top reptile to ever come out of Hogtown. Part of the hype comes from giving Tebow credit for the 2006 team's national championship. He played an important role as a wildcat formation fullback in short-yardage situations. But that was Chris Leak's team and Chris Leak's championship.
Tebow certainly was inspirational and tough, but Wuerffel was equally so, although more low key. I have never seen a quarterback take the pounding Wuerffel did and still hang in the pocket without flinching. He was amazing.
Consider their accomplishments:
Wuerffel: Became starter as a freshman. Led Gators to four SEC titles.
Tebow: Started as sophmore. Led Gators to one SEC title.
Wuerffel: Led Gators to two national title games.
Tebow: Led Gators to one national title game.
Wuerffel: Won one national title.
Tebow: Won one national title.

It was a year ago that my fiancé and I had agreed on adopting a kitten. We had talked for weeks about "the perfect kitten". It was going to be female, very young, and mostly white with blue eyes. We visited numerous shelters and organizations looking for this kitten. About a month later I decided to visit the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro, NJ. It became abundantly clear that there were hundreds of cats that needed forever homes. I told myself right there and then that I was not leaving that shelter without adopting a cat. I walked through multiple rooms looking for a cat or kitten that caught my eye, and there she was. Her name was Courtney. She was gray and white with green eyes and fully grown. I quickly sent my fiancé a picture of her while I waited for staff to open her cage. When staff opened her cage door and reached in to pick her up, she hid immediately toward the back of her crate. I was starting to wonder if maybe she wasn't the right cat for us after all. The staff stepped aside and I knelt down to gently rest my hand near the front of her cage. She came quickly to my hand and walked right into my arms. I was sold, I couldn't fill out the paperwork soon enough. She is the smartest, most caring and loveable cat I have ever met and I'll never forget the day I adopted her.

I have a somewhat weird issue with my Precise setup (32bit). Since last Friday some colors are very different from the original ones. But only in the Dash (not in Nautilus or the panel). Moreover, the Gameboy-Advance emulator VBA-M also got blue, when OpenGL-rendering is chosen instead of Cairo.
My graphics chipset is an Intel HD 3000.
I tried to erase all unity-related config data and using the original icons, but they are also colored. When using a guest-account, those icons appear orange (I once changed the color-scheme to blue). In fact, it looks a bit inverted but I'm not sure.
I also reinstalled the graphics driver, nothing changed.

My Ojibwa family name is Wagamese. By itself, it
means nothing. That is because when the registrars came to
sign up the Ojibwa for treaty, they wrote down only the parts
of the names they could pronounce. Or they gave us English
translations, such as Redsky and Otter Tail, or English
surnames, such as Green, Kelly and Smith. Wagamese is part
of a longer phrase that translates to "man walking by the
crooked water."
The name refers to my great-grandfather. He is remembered
in the northwestern part of Ontario north of Minaki
for walking the 72-kilometre length of our traditional
trapline along the Winnipeg River in both directions in
three days. That river is the crooked water referred to in our
name because of the way it snakes from Lake Winnipeg
southeasterly to Lake of the Woods, close to the
Canada–U.S. boundary. It is the great landmark that allowed
my family to declare the boundaries of our trapline.
The shoreline is marked by bogs, marshes, coves, steep
cliffs and huge expanses of spruce, pine and tamarack. There
were no straight lines in Ojibwa culture, so there were no
grids or maps or delineations to assume or claim territory.
Instead, my people used the land itself.
In the beginning was the Jay Treaty of 1794
It may be over 200 years old, but the Jay Treaty remains the authoritative agreement between Canada and the United States governing the movement of First Nations people across the international boundary.
On paper
The treaty, negotiated between Great Britain and the United States without consulting First Nations, recognizes the natural and historic right of aboriginals to cross the border at will.
and on the border: The treatys observance has always been interpreted and implemented differently in Canada than in the United States. Though it seemed to recognize a fundamental right of mobility for First Nations, the promise of the treaty is ever vulnerable to political motives and circumstances in Ottawa and Washington.
A house divided: the Akwesasne Mohawk First Nation.
On paper
Partitioned not only by an international boundary between Canada and the U.S. but a provincial boundary separating Ontario from Quebec, many have called the area a jurisdictional nightmare. The strategic exploitation of Akwesasne for smuggling and legal battles over the rights of the Akwesasne people to traverse the international boundary unimpeded present complex challenges for aboriginal, provincial and federal governments alike.
and on the border: A dispute over the arming of Canadian border guards on reserve land last summer led to the temporary shutdown of the border crossing, becoming a potential milestone in the communitys struggle for greater sovereignty, especially in matters of law enforcement.
The Kluane and White River First Nations in the Yukon Territory.
On paper
Commercial and infrastructure projects are required to include genuine consultation with First Nations communities that will be affected.
and on the border: Since the construction of the Alaska Highway in the mid-20th century up to the current Alaska Highway Pipeline Project and other transnational industrial explorations, this neighbourly arrangement has been characterized by increased and ever more disruptive contact with outlying communities, governments, lifestyles and cultures.
First Nations, New World Order, and the Border Post-911
On paper
An agreement has been reached between Canada and the United States to allow carriers of the Indian Status Card to freely pass the border by land or sea. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, however, has also advised the Canadian federal government that this flexibility is at the discretion of U.S. officials.
On the border
From New Brunswick, amidst reports of alleged racial profiling against Elsipogtog Micmacs at the New Brunswick-Maine border, to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, concerns over the potential for border security to trump age-old treaty rights are ever alive.
Sometimes, the end of one family's or band's traditional
territory and the start of another's was marked by a huge
boulder or a cliff. Other times, a bend in the river itself referenced
a boundary, even though there is no word for
boundary in the Ojibwa language. There is no word for map
either. There was only ever the land.
For the Ojibwa and other native groups across North
America, land could not be divided. It was whole, as defined
by the Creator. It was sacred, because the idea of wholeness
contained principles such as sharing, harmony and equality.
When territory was decided upon, it was an honourable
agreement based on those principles, and the agreement
became sacred, too, because it involved the land.
The trapline my great-grandfather walked followed the
twists of the river. There were beaver dams, muskrat lodges
and plenty of foxes, wolves, mink and game, such as moose,
deer, geese, ducks and rabbits. It was rich and bountiful in
everything our family needed. That was the other thing
that defined territory; no band or family ever arranged for
more than what it needed.
When I see the number of land claims negotiated these
days and the reams of maps backing up those claims, I
wonder how it all came to pass. The idea of the land as sacred
remains a native principle. But nowadays, we have learned
to see it in straight lines and value it in terms of the resources
and money it could yield rather than the spiritual principles
it gave our cultures.
There is a man walking by the crooked water. He stops
to enjoy the feel of the land all around him. There are no
boundaries between him and the world. There is only a critical
joining: balance, harmony, belonging. No one ever
needed a map for that.
Richard Wagamese is an Ojibwa writer and storyteller from the
Wabaseemoong First Nation in northwestern Ontario. He is the
author of One Native Life.
Sad it has come to this. We have the same over reaction by the US Enforcement officials. As a place cut off from the rest of the US, with BC as our main source of everything, we also suffer from these heavy handed tactics
I am a graduate of Stanstead College, I experienced the easy going nature of the border guards first hand in the 1970s, as I used to travel on foot across the border regularly to return to the U.S. for visits. I was present during the period in which security concerns were just beginning to surface; most surprising about this was it was initiated by Canada due to the Montreal Olympics. The "bar" was set in place to protect athletes from the travesty of the Munich Olympic debacle. Valid or not, safety concerns have been at the forefront for 40 years.
I was born in Rock Island 1941 and grew up in Graniteville. I went to school in Beebe Quebec. I have tried all possible routes to find out the year that the old school was torn down and replaced with the Beebe Intermediate School. It is next to impossible to find any info on the Three Villages as I knew them from 1940 - 1960. If you could help me with the dates I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Could someone please point me in the direction of the 1955 Canadian National Geographic film? I'd like to view this for myself. Thankss!
I'm Canadian and I was standing on the Canadian side filming houses and stuff on the US side when a US border patrol walkd over and asked : What are you doing filming US establishments. Told him it was nothing - I didn't mean anything by it - I was a tourist, to which he responded : and why were you filming at the other border crossing? Free trade, did you say? Wasn't that bad od an experience though - but I never returned...
I'm one of those bordertown dual citizens. Grew up in Stanstead, had Vermont friends, went to the Drive In in Derby Line. Grandmother, Mother, and all of us have moved back and forth across that line all of our lives. Locals know to report. Gates do not bother us, American and Canadian border guards know us and treat us well. It's never been a impediment to the two communities, which really are one community without the constrictions. Most of which exist in outsider's perceptions.
After decades of normality the department of homeland security has 'Berlin Walled" this community fortunately the number of terrorists caught in this town has made it all worthwhile.
What about simply moving the border outside the city on both sides like the international peace park in North Dakota/Manitoba? Either side can drive into the area, but you clear customs when leaving from either side.
I'd love to see a completely open border (like the EU has inside the Schengen) but Canada's asylum rules might be a sticking point as would the US attitude towards guns.
The United States has bigger problems to worry about than a small peaceful town. The United States can't keep the Mexican border safe so why worry about this peaceful area? Like I said already the United States has bigger problems they should be worrying about!
I use to live on Canusa Street when I was about 9 years old. Our neighbours with their American Flags on the front of their homes always had different school holidays than we did. I noticed that when I was a kid. We always crossed the Street to go play with them. And, the Customs Officers on both sides of Canusa were always friendly... back then.

U.S. warns of growing global terror threat
The worldwide terror threat is evolving as al Qaeda-linked groups and other militants become increasingly violent and a new generation of global terrorists is spawned in Syria, the U.S. warned Wednesday.
U.S. counterterrorism efforts focused on al Qaeda have "degraded" the core leadership, but "subsequently 2013 saw the rise of increasingly aggressive and autonomous al Qaeda affiliates and like-minded groups in the Mideast and Africa."
Even al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahri, who took over after Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. troops in 2011, has had "difficulty in maintaining influence," said the State Department's 2013 Country Reports on terrorism.
"The terrorist threat continued to evolve rapidly in 2013, with an increasing number of groups around the world – including both al Qaeda affiliates and other terrorist organizations – posing a threat to the United States, our allies, and our interests."
The report identified a 43 percent increase in the number of terrorist attacks in 2013 from 2012, according to statistics provided by the National Consortium for the Study of terrorism and Responses to terrorism.
It counted 9,707 terrorist attacks around the world in 2013, resulting in more than 17,800 deaths and more than 32,500 injuries. Most of those occurred in Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Somalia, Syria, Thailand and Yemen. In 2012, the figures were 6,771 terrorist attacks, with more than 11,000 deaths and more than 21,600 injuries. Most of those were in the same 10 countries as in 2013.
Despite the spike in the number of attacks, the report pointed out that nearly half of them caused no fatalities and 53 percent caused no injuries.
The most lethal attacks in 2013 were conducted by the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Pakistani Taliban, Nigeria's Boko Haram, al Qaeda in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, according to the report.The Syrian war has proved a fertile breeding ground attracting thousands of foreign fighters who have joined the fight against President Bashar Assad.
They seized advantage of the chaos and lack of governance as well as a flow of money from the Gulf for extremist groups. But Assad has also been aided by Shiite militia, such as Lebanon's Hezbollah, funded and supported by Iran, adding to the violence on the ground.
Many governments are "becoming increasingly concerned that individuals with violent extremist ties and battlefield experience will return to their home countries or elsewhere to commit terrorist acts," the report noted.
This has fueled growing "concern about the creation of a new generation of globally committed terrorists, similar to what resulted from the influx of violent extremists to Afghanistan in the 1980s."

Alice Keeney, File, Associated Press
AMHERST, N.H. — The Republican presidential contenders are tying themselves in knots over immigration.
Newt Gingrich is endorsing a South Carolina law that allows police to demand a person's immigration status — a week after taking heat for advocating a "humane" approach. Rick Perry, though defending Texas' in-state tuition for some illegal immigrants' kids, spent Tuesday campaigning with a hardline Arizona sheriff in New Hampshire. And Mitt Romney is talking tough on immigration in his second White House campaign, though he previously supported the idea of allowing some illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S.
Meanwhile, many voters say immigration won't determine which candidate they'll back for the GOP nomination. Instead, they say they're focused squarely on the economy and jobs.
"In light of the economy, questions about immigration policy are less egregious," said Loras Schulte, an evangelical conservative from northeast Iowa.
So what gives?
The contortions by the Republican candidates illustrate the straddle they're attempting on a complex issue. In order to win the Republican nomination, they must court a GOP electorate that is largely against anything that could be called "amnesty" for illegal immigrants. But they can't come off as anti-immigrant, a stance that could alienate the independents and moderates — not to mention Hispanics — they'd need to attract in a general election should they win the party's nod to challenge President Barack Obama.
In 2008, immigration helped shape the Republican presidential race, with John McCain bypassing the leadoff caucus state of Iowa — and planting his flag in New Hampshire — after seeing his standing tank when he backed a plan to give some illegal immigrants an eventual path to citizenship. Still, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the caucuses that year despite having backed tuition benefits in his state for children of illegal immigrants. And McCain ended up winning the nomination despite his position.
Exit polls in Iowa that year found Republican caucusgoers naming immigration their top concern.
This year, many Republican voters are focused on an unemployment rate that's been stuck around 9 percent nationally and is even higher in some states. A poll by The Des Moines Register taken last month showed economic and fiscal concerns topping immigration.
"Four years ago it was about who is the best person in the party. And now they are saying, 'Who can beat Obama?'" said Susan Geddes, a top organizer in Iowa for Huckabee last time.
But immigration as an important issue has hardly gone away. Gingrich is the latest to wrestle with it.
Enjoying a rise in national and state polls, he called in a debate last week for an approach that would grant legal status to illegal immigrants with longstanding family and community ties. Since then, he has been defending that approach from attacks by opponents who say it would amount to amnesty for millions.
"An absolute falsehood," Gingrich retorted Tuesday while campaigning in Bluffton, S.C. He pressed his rivals to say how they would deal with some 12 million illegal immigrants in the country.
"What is it that you're going to do? Are you really going to go in and advocate ripping people out of their families?" he said.
A day earlier, however, he sounded like an immigration hardliner when he expressed support for a South Carolina law that would require law officers who make traffic stops to call federal officials if they suspect that someone is in the country illegally.
At the College of Charleston, he called the law "pretty reasonable."
In New Hampshire, Perry looked to regain his footing on the issue that his dogged his campaign from the outset.

Great gun but I can only fire about 10 rounds before it stops feeding the BB's. When I pull the mag out multiple BB's fall out. Shoots fine but is not loading properly. Any tips to fix this?

It has very good performance with big mag sizes and a fast rpm. i have had this for a while now and it demolishes the competition in battles, anyone caught in the way can't even turn their safety off before getting sprayed with bbs, very good for the money.
Pros:fast rate of fire reliable awesome good price
Cons:haven't found any yet :)

Not as impressive as it looks
December 26, 2011
Really disappointed in the performance of this gun. Got great stats and looks, but the perforamance was subpar. 50% of the shots malfunctioned... some shot at a distance of 20 ft before falling to the ground, some had two bb's come out at the same time, some never came out at all.
Pros:Single shot works well. Good looking gun.
Cons:Battery only 300milliamp. No consistenacy firing. Poor performance

very good and cool gun
April 15, 2011
This gun is a good gun, but if you use0.20 ounce bbs and under the bbs curve and they dont fire straight. This weapon has cool features like if you run out of battery you can pull back a little handle on the top of the gun and it fires the bbs with spring power.20 out of 20 of my friends thought this gun was amazing. It did slightly break when i tossed it on the ground from 1 foot away but i got it fixed in no time, very easy to do. This gun is easy to use and moneuver around but it has a little weight to it because of the metal gear box but you want that on a gun.
5 Stars
amazing for all
April 3, 2011
I have this gun and it is not let me down yet it is a bit much compared to some airsoft gun but if theres anything I have learned with this gun is that it is DEFINITELY. Worth the money. It is very sturdy, it shots 600 rpm full auto, 4 atachment rails, foldable stock (GOOD FOR CLOSE COMBAT), and also really accurate. Oh and dont forget the adjustable hop. Hope this helped

best gun
March 7, 2011
It has dual power so if the battery runs out you can use spring. The spring is tiny bit more powerful than the semi automatic. Got this at Big 5 at sale for 100$. It is a great deal shoots ten bbs a second [600 rounds per minute]. does't shot 300 fps shoots about 360 fps. The battery is very small only charge for 2 hours!!!!!!!!!! Best gun ever. A must have gun. Buy now!

Excellent AEG
June 22, 2010
This is one of the best air soft guns i have ever purchased. It fits right in with the rest of my tactical weapons. It has very good range; I was playing with the hop up and managed to hit a target over 80 yards away. The magazine alone gives you better reload time in combat. i work as a sniper and have gotten good at hitting targets at extreme range and this particular gun has the best range i have ever seen. It has nearly the same range as my sniper rifle. the automatic fire rate makes it a dangerous foe in the right hands. The ROF is very high and the gun sometimes out runs the loader in the clip. Anyone that comes in range will most likely get hosed with airsoft bb's before they can fire a shot. i would recommend this gun to anyone who likes to airsoft. it is tough and reliable and feels like the real deal. not only that but if you pay attention, it has a slight bit of recoil.

G36 c
June 20, 2010
this is one step down from mine. here is what i love- 1) in airsoft wars this fps and distance the gun gives is UNCOMPARABLE. abot 100 feet with hop adjusted correctly. 2)weight- this gun feels like the real deal. all high density plastic, it feels like graphite its so well made 3)hi cap mag makes reloading a breeze, just a few turns of the scroll wheel and ur ready to go 4)the spring manual load makes an instantaneous headstart to firing, and saves ur behind if u run outta batteries. 5)close quarters airsoft will prove to be the best scenario for this gun, as i sed, mine is one step above with a metal gearbox, but i OWN this as well. i am in a rec league airsoft division. i have continuously used this weapon (previous to the g36 c elite, by the same brand) and it has dominated. it takes out people before they can turn theyre safety off. a GREAT investment. read up on how to care for the battery though. never charge for more than 2 HOURS or it WILL degrade the battery life, although you can always manually cock it. buy it, it saves money, and kicks serious tail. the only con is the fact the battery goes out in overnight battles, which few ppl have. buy, love, and take my word, you WON'T be let down.

The American Automobile Association (AAA) forecasts 39 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Independence Day holiday weekend, a 2.5% decline from the 40 million people who traveled a year ago.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) forecasts 39
million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during
the Independence Day holiday weekend, a 2.5% decline from the
40 million people who traveled a year ago.
The Independence Day holiday travel period is defined as
Thursday, June 30 to Monday, July 4.
AAA is projecting a slight decline in the
number of Independence Day travelers mainly due to fuel prices
being approximately one dollar per gallon higher than last
year, said Glen MacDonell, director of AAAs travel
Increased fuel costs are also responsible for a shift
in the demographics of the typical Independence Day traveler as
higher prices impact lower income households more
The amount of money spent each month on gasoline is unlikely
to vary much across household income groups. However, as a
share of total spending, fuel is obviously going to consume a
larger share of the budget for lower income households, the
agency said.
As a result, the percentage of travelers with a household
income of $50,000 or less is expected to decrease from 41% to
33%, while travelers with a household income of more than
$100,000 are expected to increase to 35% from 26%.
AAAs projections are based on economic
forecasting and research by IHS Global Insight.
Automobile travel down 3%, but five of six travelers
will drive to destination
Approximately 32.8 million people plan to travel by
automobile. Thats a decline of almost a million auto
travelers from the 33.7 million who drove last year.
Automobile travel remains the dominant mode of
transportation (84% of holiday travelers) despite gasoline
prices about a dollar per gallon more expensive than a year ago
in many parts of the country.
AAA said it expects the US average price for regular
gasoline to remain between $3.60 and $3.70 per gallon during
the Independence Day holiday weekend.
Impact of gasoline prices on travel
A survey of intended travelers found that 56% said rising
gasoline prices would not impact their travel plans. For the
remaining 44% who said rising gas prices would impact their
travel plans, seven out of 10 will economize in other areas and
three out of 10 are planning to take a shorter trip or travel
by a different mode of transportation.
Number of air travelers expected to increase by
A little more than three million leisure travelers (8% of
holiday travelers) will fly during the holiday weekend, a 9%
increase from last years 2.75 million air travelers. This
increase continues a rebound in air travel that began in 2010
following the lowest years for air travel in the past decade -
2009 and 2008.
The rising cost of gasoline is a contributing factor to the
increase in air travel, as the increasing cost of travel by car
is making air travel a more viable option for some travelers
despite recent increases in air fares. The remaining 8% of
holiday travelers are expected to travel by other modes,
including rail, bus and watercraft.
Travelers to experience increases in airfares, hotel
rates and car rental rates
According to AAAs leisure travel index, Independence
Day holiday airfares are expected to be 11% more than last
year, with an average lowest round-trip rate of $213 for the
top 40 US air routes.
Hotel rates for AAA three-diamond lodgings are expected to
increase 3% from a year ago, with travelers spending an average
of $147 per night compared to $143 last year.
Travelers planning to stay at AAA two-diamond hotels can
expect to pay 8% more, at an average cost of $110 per
Weekend daily car rental rates will average $56, a 3%
increase over a year ago.
Average travel distance down 7%; median spending up
25% from last year
According to a survey of traveler intentions, the average
distance traveled by Americans during the Independence Day
holiday weekend is expected to be 573 miles, which is 7% less
than last years average travel distance of 617 miles.
Median spending is expected to be $807, an increase of 25%
from $644 last year.
