History of the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF)
The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) began as the "Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976" via P.A. 204 of 1976. Act 204 created the Michigan Land Trust Fund (MLTF) program to provide a source of funding for the public acquisition of lands for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding was derived from royalties on the sale and lease of State-owned mineral rights.
On November 6, 1984, Michigan residents voted in favor of Proposal B, which amended the State Constitution and created the MNRTF. The constitutional amendment required that oil, gas, and other mineral lease and royalty payments be placed into the Trust Fund, with proceeds used to both acquire and develop public recreation lands. To implement the constitutional amendment, the Legislature passed the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Act of 1985 (P.A. 101 of 1985, Act 101). This act stipulated that in any one fiscal year, up to a third of all mineral lease revenues plus the interest and earnings of the Trust Fund could be used to both purchase land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation and develop outdoor recreation facilities. P.A. 101 of 1985 also specified that not less than 25 percent of the total expenditures from the Trust Fund in any fiscal year shall be expended for land acquisition and rights in land, and not more than 25 percent of the total expenditures from the Trust Fund in any fiscal year be expended for development of public recreation facilities. In addition, P.A. 101 of 1985 authorized the use of Trust Funds to make the annual payments in-lieu of taxes to local units of government that are required under subpart 14 of Part 21 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 451 PA 1994, as amended. Trust Funds are used to meet the DNR's obligations under Part 21 for lands acquired by the DNR with MNRTF assistance.
On November 8, 1994, Michigan voters approved Proposal P, which also amended the State Constitution. The 1994 amendment reversed a previous constitutional provision which allowed the diversion of Trust Fund revenue to the Michigan Strategic Fund. Proposal P also established the State Park Endowment Fund for the operation, maintenance and capital improvements at Michigan's State Parks, and provided for the distribution of $10 million annually in Trust Fund revenues to the new Endowment Fund. The 1994 amendment also raised the maximum amount that can accumulate in the Trust Fund from $200 million to $400 million.
On August 6, 2002, Michigan residents approved Proposal 2. This amendment to article IX allows the MNRTF to invest in a wider array of investments, raises the current cap on the maximum allowable amount from $400 million to $500 million, and allows up to one third of the Trust Fund revenue to be spent annually until the principle reaches $500 million.
Applications for MNRTF assistance are accepted annually. Applications are accepted from both local units of government and State agencies, including the land managing divisions of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Applications are reviewed and scored by Grants Management of the DNR. Final grant recommendations are made by the MNRTF Board and submitted to the Legislature for approval and appropriation of funds.

I walked into the store with certain fragrances in mind- love in white or the other one in the red bottle. Love in white is so popular among women in my age group, I thought it would be a good addition to growing collection. Sadly, it just wasn't "me". And somehow the shop assistant knew me so well when she suggested this. Sweet and unique. I definitely love the florals. It's absolutely delicious and classy. Timeless
As other reviewers noted, this is a very natural, ethereal fragrance.
Perhaps because most "white flowers" perfumes scream loud gardenia and overly heady tuberose is that I was bracing myself for a cloying scent.
But surprisingly this is a beautiful, delicate and refined composition. I get the image of a pristine white dress, a well mannered young lady, spring, warm rays of sun. Anyhow, you get the picture.
It's lovely (sorry Sarah Jessica Parker), attractive and delicate.
A big yes.
This one is best from creed parfumes. For some reason, it doesnt last on me and later on it become pawdery. Ny boyfriend do not compiment it neighter.
If anyone interesterested, i am selling this parfum of 300ml, little bit used but still full battle ...so instead of 600us, half price ;-) if anyone interested message me.
Imagine the most natural jasmine,narcissus bouquet,freshly cut florals blooming just beneath your nose,I can't smell any citruses here,maybe some apple crispness in the background but no noticeable fruity note
This floral bouquet is not a watery,too much green or aquatic one,not a heady,sharp one either
It is as natural as this florals in reality and this high quality natural floral freshness is super pretty to my nose
Very long-lasting and well projecting,if you love jasmine and narcissue aura don't hesitate
This is a pretty tame white floral scent. Usually the white floral perfumes I've worn are super fragrant, spicy and more complex. The tuberose white flower usually makes a fragrance magical. This is missing tuberoses but it does have more jasmine and narcissus. This is a jasmine perfume with lovely rich exotic jasmine and it leaves a gorgeous trail of scent. It has rose as well but it's in the background. It's mostly jasmine. There is also something a bit like a violet and the fruit notes of apple are also very noticeable. It smells like floral-fruit shampoo but in the most full bodied and long lasting way. Very nice. I love to wear this on cool spring days. It does smell mature but very sophisticated. If you like jasmine check this out.
تنها نتی که ازاین عطر به مشامم میرسه بوی یاس هستتداعی کننده عطرهای زیارتی ولاغیر
This is my first review for a fragrance which usually I just snoop around, see what others say and see the liking or disliking...well i have to make a statement for this one. I absolutely love this so much. During the Spring time THIS is what i would want my girlfriend to be wearing. Heck i love this so much i might just wear it around sometimes. But this scent is so gorgeous. Definitely one of my all time favorites.
Testing this blindly, I thought I smelled orange blossom, citrus, jasmine and something powdery. This is essentially a fresh floral scent, very delicate and spring-like, but it's not weak and lasted 6+ hours on me. For some reason, I think of orange popsicles and Chloe EDP when I smell this. Despite my positive feeling towards this scent, I still don't think it's worth the price tag.
I absolutely adore this one. The price is less than $100 an ounce, but they make you buy a vat of it. On the other hand, maybe I need a vat of it? To me, it's full, glorious springtime.
First jasmine fragrance that I have liked, but given the price tag, no on my "to buy" list.
White Flowers? Not Green Flowers?
กลิ่นนี้สง่างาม สดใส เหมือนกับวันแต่งงาน ที่เจ้าสาวสวมมงกุฎดอกไม้ที่เป็นดอกไม้ขาวกลีบบางใส เคล้ากับน้ำค้างยามเช้า มีเด็กน้อยที่กำลังกัดแอ๊ปเปิ้ลเขียวสดกรอบวิ่งหัวเราะไปรอบๆจนแก้มแดง เป็นฟลอรัลฟรุ๊ตตี้ที่ไม่เสียดแทงจมูกเลยค่ะ แถมยังติดทนพอสมควร อีกด้วย
นี่ถ้ามีโอกาสได้แต่งงานเอง โก๋ก็จะเลือกใส่กลิ่นนี้ในงานตอนเช้าไม่พลาดแน่ค่ะ
หลายๆคนเห็นชื่อ white flower ก็จะพาลนึกไปถึงดอกไม้ขาวกลีบหนาหนัก อย่างดอกพุด หรือ แม็กโนเลีย แต่ขนบทำน้ำหอมของครีดไม่ใช่แบบนั้นนะคะ เพราะเขาเลียนแบบน้ำหอมได้เหมือนธรรมชาติ ราวกับเด็ดจากต้นมาดมค่ะ
กลิ่นเย็นฉ่ำอมเปรี้ยวของน้ำแอ๊ปเปิ้ลเขียว กับเลมอนเหลือง และกลิ่นหวานใส สง่างามของมะลิที่ถุกเด็ดมาครั้งที่น้ำค้างยังไม่โดนแดดเช้าให้ระเหิดระเหยไป แต่ก็มีกลิ่นของแดฟโฟดิลปนความเขียวของใบไวโอเล็ตมาด้วย ทำให้ออกแนวอควาติคแบบธรรมชาติ ไม่สังเคราะห์จัดเจน
ตามด้วยกลิ่นสวีทพีที่หวานฉ่ำ แต่ก็ปลอดโปร่งราวท้องฟ้าหน้าร้อน
อยากให้ได้ลองค่ะ แฟนๆน้ำหอมแนวฟลอรัลคงหลงรัก
แต่ถ้าติดใจก็ตัวใครตัวมันนะคะ เพราะราคาสูงเหลือใจ แถมยังหายากอีกค่ะ อิอิ
The most beautiful jasmine blend fragrance I've ever tried. Aromatic, crisp and clean. Must have for white floral/jasmine lovers.
REALLY loved top note BUT smelled somewhat yucky. Especially this is the ONLY creed perfume that 5/10 boutiques have gone-bad version of white flowers.
What the hxxx? This costs like $700...:(
The gone-bad ones have dark color perfume and smells SOOO aweful. Almost purchased this perfume... but after smelling it 10 times, that gone-bad scent really stands out even in freshly opened ones. I'm beginning to think that whatever chemical in it that has the hint of gone-bad scent, present in new one, just gets worse after time making testers really look ugly and smell so disgusting like old women wearing clothes smelling of moth balls.
Fresh. Flower. Smells awesome upon application and IMMEDIATELY starts to fade. Was able to detect hints of fragrance on pjs the next morning, but nothing on skin. Extremely expensive not to have the longevity. I will factor in applying this on clothing when I wear to give it sustainability. The scent gets 4stars. The product gets 2.
This scent is surprisingly more youthful and fresh than I thought it would be. There's definitely a bit of violet leaf and a touch of Granny Smith apple. The jasmine/narcissus combination is very delicate, very sheer, and seems to represent Creed's style quite well. I was expecting a narcotic bouquet of rich white floral notes, and instead got an airy springtime floral. Smells unisex to me thanks to the violet leaf and green apple. To pull it off as a guy you have to be accustomed to wearing feminine fragrances, and you'll probably want to be confident about the apple note leveling the olfactory playing field here. I think that note makes it go either way for guys. Some may find the floral notes too sweet and dainty. Some may like the slightly fruity green ambiance. I like this scent. Still not sure about these Royal Exclusive price tags, though.
This is divine. Absolutely the best jasmine perfume I ever smelled. If you like jasmine, this will be heaven for you. The jasmine smells both natural and intensive. The projection and longevity are superb, esp compared with other Creed offerings.
If you want something for light wear, this may not be a good fit, as the crispy floral notes are very strong.
It is expensive, but for a true jasmine lover, it is worth every penny.
Interestingly, this is similar to Champaca De Commes. I ordered a small vial of Comme De Gacons Chamapa and they are definitely related! The yellow flowers and rose bush gardens are the best highlights of this parfum. The longevity is 12+ hours.
I love this fragrance! It kicked off my interview and landed me a offer when can I begin working? I absolutely admire this green, lemony and flower smells. It is well blended and not too heady! Even in the humid weather it doesn't evaporate with the moisture or fade. It stays on your skin more than 10+ hours. This is one of the most amazing frags that Creed has created. I tried Fleurissimo but it cannot reach this level of clean and crisp adoring smell. I bought the 1 oz at Neimans' which is Creed house anniversary for only a limited time can you grab this one and other exclusive ones for under $250 bucks. I added the tax but its $220 for the 1 oz only for a limited time though. So go for it! TA TA
To my nose, very similar to Puredistance I. I was surprised to not find any mimosa listed among the notes. But the jasmine and musk and citrus are very clear to me. A spring-like flowery aroma, pretty and pretty expensive too.
Great Scent !!!! Rich of many flowers and some sweet fruits, I love it.
I really liked this fragrance. It is a floral, but it does not make you feel like it is springtime or summer. It is a floral that can be worn year round. It is not overwhelming, but yet you can detect that it is a floral scent. It is very nice and I love the bottle.
I did not detect the lemon and apple notes, but maybe it is because of them that it balances out the strong floral notes, thereby making it a clear floral without it being overpowering.

D7000- 30 minute exposure limit?
I set up last night to shoot some star trails, but my D7K stopped the exposure after only 30 minutes (1799.7 sec). I had intended to leave the shutter open for 2 hours. Here are the pertinent settings:
Manual mode: ISO 100, 18mm, VR off, F5, manual focus, shutter "--"
Release mode: Wireless shutter release on the dial and in 'mirror up' mode selected through the shooting menu.
The frame was focused in live view mode and I used the wireless shutter release to start the exposure.
I can't figure out why the exposure stopped after only 30 minutes, because I did not press the remote to stop the exposure. The only thing I can think of is because the release mode dial was in remote control mode, the slowest shutter speed displayed as "--". All the other release modes have the "bulb" option. I thought that both of these options are dependent upon the user to start and stop the exposure.
Is there a difference between "--" and "bulb" when it comes to leaving the shutter open as long as you want? On a side note, if you rotate the dial one more click past "bulb" the shutter speed displays "x250". What does "x250" mean? The manual does not elaborate.

text: epa Surface discharge of water used in oil recovery common throughout Wyoming By Irina Zhorov • Nov 21, 2012 The EPA issues water discharge permits on the Wind River Indian Reservation to oil and gas companies bringing up water with their oil. That water, called produced water, is dirty and often warm even in winter. The permits are issued through an EPA waiver that allows such water to be discharged in the arid West if it's being used beneficially. In the drier parts of Wyoming it is sometimes the only source of water for livestock and wildlife. EPA fines Sinclair again, for Clean Air Act violations By Willow Belden • Oct 11, 2012 Once again, Sinclair Oil has agreed to pay a penalty for violating the Clean Air Act at its refinery near Rawlins. The latest fine is for $378,000. The Environmental Protection Agency's David Cobb says the company didn't have proper procedures in place to prevent the release of hazardous chemicals, and that chemicals were released on several occasions in the past few years. Cobb says violations like this can be dangerous. Pavillion Working Group Has New Issue To Address By Joshua Scheer • Oct 11, 2012 A working group looking into groundwater contamination near Pavillion is still debating findings of contamination of water wells near the town. State officials are still studying the results of a U.S. Geological Survey test and some possible conflicting information with an Environmental Protection Agency study. USGS releases raw data, but no analysis, about Pavillion groundwater By Willow Belden • Sep 26, 2012 The U.S. Geological Survey has released new data about groundwater testing near Pavillion. The testing was meant to provide additional information about whether hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, caused water contamination there. Keith Guille with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality says no one quite knows what the results mean yet, because the USGS only provided raw numbers, not analysis. Kinder Morgan to pay $316,000 for Clean Air Act violations By Willow Belden • Sep 20, 2012 The energy company Kinder Morgan is paying a $316,000 penalty for violating Clean Air Act regulations at natural gas plants in Casper and Douglas. The Environmental Protection Agency says the violations centered around improper handling of chemicals. The agency's David Cobb says the company wasnot adequately testing its equipment and didn't have proper operating procedures in place to prevent releases of chemicals. He says those violations had the potential to cause problems. Republican governors recommend measures to encourage energy development By Willow Belden • Aug 28, 2012 The Republican Governors Association has released an "Energy Blueprint for America," which outlines recommendations for a federal energy policy. The document calls for developing new energy partnerships with Canada and Mexico, approving the Keystone XL oil Pipeline, reducing EPA regulations regarding oil and gas production, and making it easier to use public lands for energy development. Gov. Matt Mead says those measures would help encourage energy production of all kinds. Sinclair Oil to pay $3.8 million penalty for air pollution By Willow Belden • Aug 20, 2012 Sinclair Oil has agreed to pay a fine of $3.8 million and install pollution controls at its refineries in Casper and Rawlins, to settle a lawsuit that the Environmental Protection Agency filed. The EPA says the refineries exceeded federal limits on various emissions.

Former Bush Administration official says EPA is improperly affecting energy market By Bob Beck • Aug 10, 2012 A Bush administration official has been speaking to members of the media this week about his concerns that the Environmental Protection Agency is overstepping its bounds. Bud Albright is the former undersecretary for the Department of Energy. Albright's main point is that the EPA is unfairly making it difficult for energy companies to operate. He says they are unfairly impacting the energy market. He speaks with Wyoming Public Radio's Bob Beck. Former Bush energy official is critical of the EPA By Bob Beck • Aug 7, 2012 The former Undersecretary at the Department of Energy says new environmental guidelines are undermining jobs and the country's energy security. Bud Albright served under the George W. Bush administration and is speaking out against the Environmental Protection Agency, which he says is unfairly driving the energy marketplace by over regulating. "They have become the lord overseer of the markets, of what America will develop, how we will develop them and it has thoroughly disadvantaged America…not just in the world market, but in our own economies. " Environmental attorney disappointed by attempts to overturn EPA regulations By Bob Beck • Jun 20, 2012 An attorney with the Wyoming Outdoor Council is disappointed that a number of states and industry officials are working hard to overturn the new Environmental Protection Agency standards dealing with air pollution from power plants. Bruce Pendry is reacting to reports that more than 130 coal companies, electric utilities, trade associations and states are suing the EPA in federal court to remove the health standards. Wyoming Senators join attempt to overturn EPA rules By Bob Beck • Jun 20, 2012 Wyoming Republican Sens.

Pavillion residents feel betrayed by EPA report delay By Rebecca Martinez • May 7, 2012 A group of Pavillion residents says Wyoming officials betrayed them by delaying the release of information tentatively connecting hydraulic fracturing with groundwater pollution in the area. An Associated Press investigation shows that Gov. Matt Mead convinced the Environmental Protection Agency to delay its draft report on the contamination by a full month. Mead and other state officials used the extra time to try and debunk the findings before they could harm the oil and gas industries. EPA Announces Air Pollution Regulations For Hydraulic Fracking By Irina Zhorov • Apr 18, 2012 This morning, the Environmental Protection Agency released federal standards under the Clean Air Act that will control air pollution from hydraulically fractured natural gas and oil wells. This is the first set of federal standards to control air pollution from fracking. The regulations aim to decrease air pollution caused by volatile organic compounds and other chemicals… and will also reduce the amount of methane, which is a greenhouse gas, released into the air. Earthjustice wants federal regs like Wyoming's By Bob Beck • Apr 13, 2012 The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to release some new air pollution regulations surrounding natural gas development. Earthjustice Attorney Robin Cooley saysit's been 25 years since the E-P-A last evaluated standards and the new ones are overdue. She says the industry is much different than it used to be.

New Carbon Regulations Could Be Boom Or Bust For Wyoming By Sara Hossaini • Mar 28, 2012 This week, the Obama administration announced new regulations for carbon dioxide emissions from new power plants.

Still hope for Niobrara oil plan despite EPA report By The Associated Press • Jan 3, 2012 A federal report possibly linking groundwater pollution to hydraulic fracturing in central Wyoming is not discouraging hopes for the Niobrara oil play in the southeast part of the state. Many are questioning the scientific conclusions of the Environmental Protection Agency findings on the technique to extract oil and gas. But both EPA and industry representatives say the specific concerns raised in the report are not applicable to southeast Wyoming. That is because the Niobrara formation is geologically much different than the Pavillion area. EPA ready to declare Pinedale area non-attainment for ozone By The Associated Press • Dec 22, 2011 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyis moving ahead with a proposed regulatory designation that couldincrease pressure on the gas industry to limit emissions that haveled to severe wintertime ozone pollution in western Wyoming.

Police sell more than 100 bikes at auction
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Danielle brown and her husband are proud owners of two new bikes.
"We each got a bike today, great price," Brown said.
They stopped by the Bozeman Police Department's bike auction that is held twice a year.
"We have bikes that are getting recovered, sometimes they're found, sometimes they get turned into us," explained Captain Andy Knight with the BPD.
Capt. Knight explained they try to find the bike owners, but more often than not, the search comes up empty handed.
"We end up doing a bike auction and taking some of the money to put back in the Police Department fund to help us fund some other stuff," he said.
The Bozeman Police Department sold about 120 bikes at the auction on Saturday.
The bikes started around $5 for something broken down, and sold for up to $200.
Brown paid $40 for her two bikes.
She said the auction is exactly what she and her husband needed.
"We only have one car and its such a nice weather in the summer, biking is great," she said. "It helps my husband get to work. I think it helps a lot of people because you find all these bikes all over the place and you can just sort of reuse them, fix them up, start again."
Capt. Knight agreed.
"Some of the bikes need work but people will fix them up and it's a very bike-oriented community, bike friendly, so it gets people out there using the bikes," he said.
"They both need the bars so they can stand up on their own and there's sort of a little bit of a flat tire on the back of my husband's, so get that fixed, but it won't be much," Brown said.
Bozeman Police Department says one way to prevent your bike from ending up at an auction like Saturday's is to register your bike with the city. It's free, and that way, if police recover your bike, they can easily return it to you.

|st: RE: Disappearing Review Window
|Sat, 26 Feb 2005 13:33:31 -0600
Yvonne This problem is particularly likely to occur if you are using Windows with two monitors. When you close Stata it saves your Stata Windows (e.g. Review etc.) at their current locations within your global Stata window (i.e. your Intercooled Stata 8.2 window). You can then shrink the global window so that your Review window can not be seen. If you close and then reopen Stata, Stata considers your review window to be open but it is not visible because it is outside of the global window. Reopening your Review window with the Window pull-down menu has no effect because as far as Stata is concerned the Review window is already open. The problem can also occur if you only have one monitor. Reduce size of your global window so that you can drag it around. Move it to the left so that only the right margin of the global window is visible. Now drag the right margin of this window to the right and place your Review window on the right side of the global window. Move the right margin of the global window back to the left so that the Review window is invisible. Now, drag the global window to the right so that it is entirely visible and expand it to occupy your entire monitor. At this point your Review window is "open" but invisible and inaccessible. Closing and reopening Stata will have no effect nor will clicking on the Window pull-down menu. A good guess is that this is what you may have inadvertently done. A solution is to reverse the process described above to look for your lost windows to the left or right of the visible global window. This confusion would be easily avoided if Stata would place a scroll bar on the bottom and/or side of the global window any time there were Stata windows outside of the visible viewing area. Doing this would be consistent with Stata's current policy of putting scroll bars on the side of windows that contain more information than is currently visible.

It was an all-day journey to the land of Chinggis the hero (Ghengis the barbarian to the West); with our trains in Japan, 45 minute stop to change gates but not plane in Korea, and multi-hour last leg of the flight somewhat incongruously entertained by Yours, Mine, and Ours
Next morning after some well-deserved and needed slumber, we marched the 4 km into the center of town and quickly found out that Mongolia is just about the opposite of Japan. Ulaanbaatar (UB as the Lonely Planet says it is "affectionately dubbed by tourists and ex-pats") is by far the largest city in Mongolia, containing over 1 million of the country's 2.5 million people. The coldest capitol city in the world (it gets down to -40 in the winter, which means damn cold regardless of whether you're a fan of F or C), it also doesn't have the feel of a modern and "developed" capitol city notwithstanding cell phones everywhere, the best way to jump past the long-standing lack of infrastructure of wide-spread phone land lines. To give you the 5-cent history tour, it was founded 365 years ago amongst 4 sacred mountains that protect the city and was given its current name Ulaanbaatar (Red Hero) by Sukhbaatar (Axe Hero). To me it had a confused identity as a big city: small enough to get around on foot, but the worst traffic I've ever seen (red lights- and pedestrian lives- both rank low on the UB driver's priority list, well well below holding down one's horn for lengthy periods and indiscriminate reasons); it's also got 7 or 8 major universities, 5 Buddhist temples (though the populace is largely not very religious), and even a Mormon church, yet the majority of folks live not in the apartments near the center but scattered around "downtown"
Upon reaching the city center and arranging accommodations at UB Guesthouse (highly recommended, it was friendly, safe, and arranged our Gobi tour), we had a few errands to run, the more surreal of them being seeking to buy our train tickets to China for the following Thursday. Doing that required venturing down by the 'tracks, the more "seedy" part of town though to be honest the only major difference was a greater than usual density of drunk guys trying to grad us next to the boxcar container mall. The international ticket office is actually exceedingly well hidden, a testament to covert urban planning, and when we rolled in at about 7:30 PM was nearly deserted. Following some points and a grunt from one and fleeing some shoos from two others, we happened upon the "VIP Room" with twin ladies sitting at a circular desk who secretly made fun of us in Monngolian until I started speaking Russian, when they properly switched to that tongue to ridicule us. A couple scary Russian guys fame in right after one of the women picked up the phone and had a short, terse conversation while eyeing us warily and they brushed right up against us despite there being plenty of space in the room, but they ended up being very nice once i started talking about drinking vodka with my uncle in Kiev. Miraculously coming away with 1-way tickets to Beijing (for a much lower price than we thought!), we spent the remainder of the evening testing our luck by walking around UB at night accompanied only be the occasional grandma and frequent, sullen, drunken groups of young guys eyeing us down, no worries though because we were protected by my Fists of Fury
With one more day to spend in UB before heading out into the countryside, it seemed as good a time as any to get the pages added to our passports that we would be needing down the road given the amount of countries we'd be hitting and large portions of space taken up by some of the more ostentatious visas that we had to get. Possibly because we didn't establish an embassy there until 1988 or perhaps because even the almighty Starbucks hasn't reached the steppes yet, reaching the US Embassy requires you to hoof it out of town a ways to search for the Stars and Stripes until you find it tucked behind and away in the back lot of the much more impressive Laotian outpost. We did find it a bit odd that most embassies, including America's, were guarded not by special envoys of the nation's soldiers but by non-US-citizen Mongolian security guards, I guess it doesn't rank as highly on the list as some of those air-conditioned garbage trucks we're been spending our national security dollars on. Fortunately, even though it was the wrong day for American Citizen Services, they weren't super busy at the moment and were nice enough to oblige us. While our passports got sewn up to their current hefty proportions I was entertained by a Good Housekeeping from 2003 and the trio of workers fixing the door: it took ages, still didn't work, and at the end was just missing a chunk.
Meaty passports in town, on the way back while searching for Ryan's slice of pizza for the country, we met a Mongolian girl our age named Nomi with impeccable English and designer sunglasses that put my swap-meet Dolces to shame
Next morning, without so much as 40 winks or a proper packing scheme between us, we loaded up and out for our 6-day trek of the Gobi Desert.
Moral of the story: Honestly, behind the Laotian embassy?! The only thing worse would be the Dutch (that's for you, Ivo) :)

Comedian Joan Rivers has been hospitalised after she reportedly stopped breathing while undergoing surgery, according to officials.
Reports have suggested that the 81-year-old was in a critical condition, and has since improved. However, the hospital where Rivers was taken gave no details on her condition.
NEW: Melissa Rivers Gives Update On Mother's Condition
New York City Fire Department spokesman Jim Long said a patient reported to be in cardiac arrest had been taken from Yorkville Endoscopy to Mount Sinai by emergency workers responding to the call at 9:40 a.m. (13:40 GMT).
Rivers was having surgery on her vocal chords in a New York City clinic near Mount Sinai when she stopped breathing, according to the hospital.
The octogenarian was then rushed to hospital, with her daughter Melissa reportedly also on her way to her mother's side, TMZ reported.
"Her family wants to thank everybody for their outpouring of love and support," hospital spokesman Sid Dinsay in a statement.
Rivers' representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a representative for her daughter declined to comment.
Ken Baker, an entertainment journalist at E! News, which features Rivers as host of its show Fashion Police, said on his Twitter account that Rivers was in stable condition.
Meanwhile, American TV host Billy Bush wrote on his Facebook page that Rivers' daughter Melissa had told him to "please pray".
He wrote: "Praying for Joan Rivers who is in critical condition at Mt Sinai hospital in NY. Texted with Melissa Rivers who said "please pray". Already doing that. Joan is beloved around here.
"A regular guest on Access Hollywood Live she never fails to deliver. She taped her post Emmy special Tuesday in LA and was strong. This is out of nowhere. Come on Joan you have to make it. Just think of all the material. Sending love and prayers."
Brooklyn-born Rivers is known for her acerbic tongue and is considered a pioneer for women in stand-up comedy.
In 2013, Rivers let cameras into her home for her reality show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?, during which she suffered a health scare.
Doctors had apparently found a spot on an X-ray after she had a bad cough.
"We're just not going to be sad about this," Rivers said in the episode, according to CNN.
"We're gonna do jokes and be up until we know. That's how I deal with things. I'm not just gonna sit around the next couple of days and go crazy."
She was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2002 after she fell down some stairs and broke bones.

Ewan McDonald completes a personal triathlon in the Far North.
Friday afternoon: Carmelita and I just want out of Auckland. Who doesn't, at four on Friday?
I'd tossed a suitcase in the boot that morning, ticked off the office clock for running slowly, then tootled on to the bridge. And stopped.
Because that's what you do when you try to get out of Auckland on a Friday afternoon. Inch, ache, past the Northcote turnoff, the Esmonde exit, the seductions of Wairau Park. Until you get to the Northern Gateway. It slammed shut at Warkworth. Roadworks. Then the rain came. Noah's flood. We may have passed Waipu. Kamo. Kawakawa. Just one more downpour and 17 life-threatening bends before a relaxing dinner, warm bed and even more welcoming minibar in Paihia.
Saturday: Sun. It washes away last night and cleans the car and refreshes the gardens and bounces my walk through New Zealand's almost oldest town.
Carmelita will stay in Paihia. The town has shopping. The hotel has a spa.
The wharf has water taxis that scoot to Russell, where I meet Bruce, my guide, and we scamper past rum palaces to the outermost island of the bay. Of Islands, 144 of them and we will see most during the hike.
We are going to hike around Urupukapuka. Over, through, and across 15km (the trail is 11km but we added a couple of diversions).
As we dock at the DOC campsite, take the first right at the pukeko and head up the path, Bruce reminds me that American writer Zane Grey based himself at the beachfront cottages just over there early last century and designated the island as the world's gamefish capital.
Cook hove to here in 1769, when almost 3000 people lived on the island. He moored off what would be called Roberton Island, largest in the bay, 30 waka surrounded his Endeavour, an emphatic illustration of the bay's strategic and political importance. Those waka, and their successors, imperiously commanded the east coast, to Mayor Island off the Bay of Plenty.
Urupukapuka was the food basket for the region, supplying taro and kumara to the mainland. We walk past huge pits on our tramp around the coast, above the cliffs, up and down those ridges and saddles and 150-steps-plus DOC staircases that are part and hassle of our coast.
It's hot, perhaps a good idea that we're not taking the five-hour tour of the island's rich history of 66 significant archaeological sites, including eight well-defined pa.
However we see most of them in the three hours we spend walking the cliffs, the foreshore and the hide that allows visitors to spy on the native duck's breeding pond, a throwback to the flora and fauna of almost-but-not-quite Gondwanaland.
Signs have orange markers for tramping tracks, blue for "stand here and birds will come in five minutes".
But not today. Bruce is mildly grumpy; he can't understand why no fantail is leading us up the kumara path.
"We should see tui and maybe native duck," Bruce hopes, "because the island has been rat-free for 18 months. Don't understand why there's none around. Maybe they're nesting."
Sunday morning: The North has learned not to believe Wellington's promises. Like the railway that was gonna, gonna, gonna open the hinterland and bring jobs and money. It never did. Ray and Robyn Clarke have set up the first stage of a bike trail that will link the east and west coasts on its bones.
South of Kaikohe, Ray points me along the route that begins near the aerodrome built by the American Air Force during World War II. Few New Zealanders remember how these bases were built along our eastern coasts, US planes and aviators stationed here, against the Japanese threat.
Now the turbines launch gliders and private planes into the skies, disturbing the quiet of cattle and a city-slicker cyclist burning off last night's merlot.
A kilometre on, the only sounds are birds. And my tyres. A quail flashes across the track. Another flash, blue, a peacock on a paddock fence. And a fantail, two. They must nest earlier further north. Rolling farmland, chomping cows give way to a trailer factory. The light industrial zone of Kaikohe.
But only for a moment. Change gear. Climb through pine to native trees (marked with names, uses, bird preferences) and then... a railway tunnel. Pause. Enter. I know this line was abandoned 70 years ago but, in the dark, I'm worried something might be coming towards me. It is; the light of an oncoming trail.
Giant, graceful golden toitoi wave me on an exuberant run downhill to the not-quite-distant shores of Lake Omapere, the north's largest lake.
The present trail runs for 22km. Ray hopes to expand it west - through macadamia groves, DOC wetlands and on to the famous mission station at Horeke in the Hokianga, further than the railway ever went, except in the dreams of engineers; south and east to Waitangi.
There are issues here; iwi believe their land was confiscated to lay the railway and vow, "Not again".
A clash of 21st century Aotearoa: tangata whenua protecting their turangawaewae; middle-class liberals unstrapping their mountain bikes to pedal through backrails New Zealand.
Almost coming a cropper to the amusement of a grazing Hereford, 90 minutes after leaving Kaikohe, I negotiate the only tricky curves and climb of the trail and pedal into the old dairy village of Okaihau.
I chug on a Coke, wait for Ray to pick me up, catching my breath and reflecting on my achievement. I've had only one encounter with humans in 20km: just as I left the tunnel, two dads and four kids pedalling the other way. The youngest was about six, and her helmet matched her bike. Both were pink. So was my face.
Sunday afternoon: A few bends up the road from the nice bike people are the nice horse people.
"Have you ever ridden a horse?" asks Quinton Hita, who runs Lake Omapere Horses, a whanau operation offering farmland rides to visitors and school groups.
He matches the horses' temperaments against the riders' abilities, which suited me because I was always going to come out last and mildest.
The other cavaliers were a local farmer and his pony club daughter, and Quinton's wife Makareta. We headed down the sheep track towards the lake, across the next paddock, through reeds and across gullies. Soon I realised why I was enjoying this.
On horse trails the world over, you usually trundle along on some resigned old darling who couldn't raise a trot if her life depended on it. Here we were RIDING: Quinton wants us to trot, canter, up hills. Across ridges. Pick our own paths. Let the horse know who is in control.
We reach the shore of Lake Omapere. If you've got this far into the yarn Google the lake: it holds several special places in the official history of New Zealand, and way more interesting ones in the oral account.
While Makareta unpacks the kete and pours tea and butters takakau, the local bread, Quinton explains why that hill is important and so is this bay and that tree.
He has a knack for it: it comes from the soul, delivered by a man who has appeared in Shortland Street, produced Mt Zion, and rolls around this part of heaven all year recording kaumata stories for Maori TV.
And that tramping 15km around an offshore island, cycling 22km through the backwoods of our history, riding for two hours and eating local bread - is a Far North triathlon in a weekend.
I share a hongi with Quinton's mum, drive south to Whangarei, Wellsford, Balmoral.
In the carport I pat the car on the bonnet.
"Home," I tell Carmelita as her engine cools.

Ewan McDonald's visit was organised by Bay of Islands Destination Marketing Group and accommodation was provided by Scenic Hotel Paihia.

You probably know who Kevin Trudeau is. He's the "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About" guy you see on infomercials.
With his checkered past that includes fraud charges and numerous run ins with the FTC Trudeau is no angel, but what I don't understand is how a guy who sells books gets constantly harassed by the FTC while pharmaceutical companies who's products do much more harm then Kevin's books get a free pass.
The way I see it if the Government wants to bring justice to people harming consumers they should start with the drug companies who's products murder 1000's of people every year.
What are your thoughts on Kevin Trudeau?


text: Anyone use IPM bottom boards? I do but have wondered wether to leave the board that slides in to check mite count in or out during the winter in northern Ohio. I have talked with others who use them and they said they leave the board out in the winter but I forgot to ask if thier hives were on a regular stand (meaning the wedge shaped wood type) right on the ground or up off the ground. I have mine on a metal angle iron frame 8 inches off the ground. It seems like that would let in ALOT of cold if I left it open that high off the ground.

The Reverend Dr Robert Stirling (25 October 1790 – 6 June 1878) was a Scottish clergyman, and inventor of the Stirling engine.
Background and Christian ministry[edit]
Stirling was born at Cloag Farm near Methven, Perthshire, the third of eight children of Patrick and Agnes Stirling and a grandson of Michael Stirling, inventor of a threshing machine.[1][2] He inherited his father's interest in engineering, but studied divinity at the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.[1] and was licensed to preach in the Church of Scotland in 1816 by the Presbytery of Dumbarton.[1] Later that year he became a minister on appointment as second charge of the Laigh Kirk of Kilmarnock. On 12 February 1824 Stirling was appointed as the minister of nearby Galston Parish Church from 1824, where he continued his ministry until 1878. In 1840 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity by University of St Andrews.[2][3]
Engineering and science[edit]
Hot air engine[edit]
He invented what he called the Heat Economiser (now generally known as the regenerator), a device for improving the thermal/fuel efficiency of a variety of industrial processes, obtaining a patent for the economiser and an engine incorporating it in 1816. In 1818 he built the first practical version of his engine, used to pump water from a quarry.[4][5]
The theoretical basis of Stirling's engine, the Stirling cycle, would not be fully understood until the work of Sadi Carnot (1796–1832).
Optical instruments[edit]
While in Kilmarnock, he collaborated with another inventor, Thomas Morton, who provided workshop facilities for Stirling's research. Both men were interested in astronomy, and having learnt from Morton how to grind lenses, Stirling invented several optical instruments.
Robert, together with his brother James, an engineer, took out several further patents for improvements to the air engine and in the 1840s James built a large air engine driving all the machinery at his Dundee Foundry Company.
Bessemer process[edit]
In a letter of 1876, Robert Stirling acknowledged the importance of Henry Bessemer's new invention – the Bessemer process for the manufacture of steel – expressing a hope that the new steel would improve the performance of air engines.[6]
Personal life and death[edit]
On 10 July 1819, Stirling married Jean Rankine at Kilmarnock. They had seven children:[1][3]
- Patrick Stirling, born 29 Jun 1820, became a locomotive engineer
- Jane Stirling, born 25 Sep 1821, fed ideas to her brothers[citation needed]
- William Stirling born 14 Nov 1822, became a civil engineer and railway engineer in South America
- Robert Stirling, born 16 Dec 1824, became a railway engineer in Peru.
- David Stirling, born 12 Oct 1828, became the Minister of Craigie, Ayrshire
- James Stirling, born 2 Oct 1835, became a locomotive engineer
- Agnes Stirling, born 22 Jul 1838, became an artist

Brisk winds from the west and southwest swept milder air into the Dakotas, Minneasota and Wisconsin today. The lack of snow cover in the upper Midwest, along with the parched soil helped to maximize the warmth of late December sunshine to boast the thermometer to record readings.
Late this afternoon St. Cloud topped out at 49 breaking the previous record of 48 degrees set in 1905. The temperature at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport was 51 degrees at 4PM, which ties the record for the date set in 1936. *Updated at 525PM, the International Airport reach 52 degrees this afternoon surpassing the record of 51.
International Falls began the morning with the mercury above freezing and climbed to a high of 41 degrees. International Falls fell short of the record of 42 set in 1994 (corected from earlier post). Even Duluth got into the action reaching a record high of 43, besting the old record of 42 set in 1908.
Temperatures at 3PM.
Winds whipped above 40 miles an hour acoss the state, including 45 mph at Rochester, Waseca and Duluth. By sunset winds had diminished slightly. Cooler air is funneling into the upper Midwest as winds turn more to the north.
The RUC model forecast for midnight tonight still maintains temperatures close to 40 degrees in south central Minnesota. Winds continue to slacken this evening in all but the Arrowhead region.
After a chilly and rather blustery day on Tuesday, with temperatures more December-like, mild air attempts a comeback on Wednesday. The push of milder air is likely to enhance to probability of needed moisture.
There is a chance for up to a quater inch of liquid precipitation Wednesday night into Thursday through central Minnesota. With the moisture falling as snow, there is the possibility for an inch or two of slushy accumulation from Morris to Hutchinson. Could the Twin Cities get in on the light snow? Stay tuned.
Plans for New Years Eve? The weather is expected to be quiet.

Do not use carbamazepine if you have taken an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include furazolidone, isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine.
Carbamazepine may cause severe or life-threatening skin rash, and especially in people of Asian ancestry. Your doctor may recommend a blood test before you start the medication to determine your risk.
To make sure carbamazepine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions:
- heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides;
- liver or kidney disease;
- glaucoma;
- a thyroid disorder;
- lupus;
- porphyria; or
- a history of mental illness, psychosis, or suicidal thoughts or actions.
You may have thoughts about suicide while taking carbamazepine. Tell your doctor if you have symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not start or stop taking carbamazepine during pregnancy without your doctor's advice. Carbamazepine may cause harm to an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking carbamazepine for seizures.
Carbamazepine can make birth control pills or implants less effective. Use a barrier form of birth control (such as a condom or diaphragm with spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while taking carbamazepine.
Carbamazepine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using carbamazepine.
How should I take carbamazepine (Carbatrol)?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow the pill whole.
You may open the extended-release capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. Measure the liquid with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
The chewable tablet must be chewed before you swallow it.
It may take up to 4 weeks before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and call your doctor promptly if this medicine seems to stop working as well in preventing your seizures.
While using carbamazepine, you may need frequent blood tests at your doctor's office.
Do not stop using carbamazepine without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. You may have increased seizures or unpleasant withdrawal symptoms if you stop using carbamazepine suddenly.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.

Four percent model
Four percent model
- developed by Ned Davis
The four percent model is a trend following model which was developed by Ned Davis. The four percent model uses the Value Line Composite Index (KCBT) however, other traders have applied this model to other indexes. The Value Line Composite Index is calculated by Arnold and Bernhard & Co. and is an un-weighted price index of approximately 1700 stocks.
Application of model
To construct this model, the investor is required to record the weekly close of the value line composite (which can be found in your newspaper or in Barron's.)
Buy signals are generated when the index moves up 4% or more from any weekly close.
Sell signals are generated when the index moves down 4% or more from any weekly close.
In both cases, this is 4% not 4 points. Buy signals continue until a sell signal occurs, and vice versa. For example: If a buy signal is triggered, a sell would not occur unless the weekly close is greater or equal to a 4 % drop or more between weekly closes, (even if the value line may have had a greater than 4% move during the week).
Historically, when testing the 4 % rule, it has shown to be profitable. Since it is a trend following system it ensures the trader is on the right side of the trend. Since the value line composite could not be traded until 1982 (Stock index futures), the following results are theoretical based on the value of the composite. In 10/12/1979 the value line composite was at 115.16 until 12/1/1995 the value line composite was at 329.31. During this period the 4 % rule generated 61 buy signals, the average buy signal was active for 80 calendar days. Of the 61 signals, only 30 were profitable. The average gained in the 30 profitable trades were 14.1 % per trade, while the 31 unprofitable trades lost an average of 3.5 %.per trade. The average gain was 4.7% per trade. when the annualized profit per year is calculated, it generated a 16.2% gain from 1966 to march 20, 1996.
The advantage of using trend following systems is that you are never really on the wrong side of the trend for too long, historically they generate profit, as seen in the example above. It is also important to note that the average gain was 4.7% per trade, but when the annualized profit per year is calculated, it generated a 16.2% gain. Buy and Hold over this period would have generated .2.7% per year. Trend following systems require the trading to adhere to the rules and emotional decisions are extremely discouraged. The 4% rule is also less demanding than other trading systems.
The major disadvantage is that trend following systems generate signals after the trend has formed or is broken. Critics of trend following systems argue that entry signals miss a large part of the up trend, and loses could be lessened since exit signals are generated after the trend is broken.

Lobo Baseball Sweeps Mountain West Player and Pitcher of the Week Honors
March 12, 2012
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – New Mexico first baseman D.J. Peterson and right-hander Gera Sanchez have earned Mountain West Baseball Player and Pitcher of the Week honors for games played from March 5-11, 2012.
Peterson, a sophomore from Gilbert, Ariz., hit .562 (9-for-16) as the Lobos went 3-1 on the week, including a three-game sweep of Gonzaga. Peterson hit safely in all four games, starting the week with a 3-for-4, five RBI, two-run performance in a 16-12 loss at New Mexico State. On Friday in an 11-6 win over previously undefeated Gonzaga, Peterson was 3-for-5 with two RBI. Saturday the Lobos guaranteed a series win with a 2-1 win in 10 innings. Peterson was 1-for-4 in the game, while defensively had 14 putouts. In the Gonzaga series finale, Peterson was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run in the 4-1 win. In 19 plate appearances, Peterson only struck out once all week.
Peterson, who was a Freshman All-American last season and set a new NCAA record for doubles by a freshman with 32, currently leads the Lobos in batting (.400) and slugging (.691), and is second in on-base percentage (.444). He also leads the team in hits (22), home runs (3), and RBI (14), and is second in runs (12) and doubles (5). Prior to this season he was named to the Louisville Slugger Pre-Season All-American Team by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
"DJ is a first-class kid," UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said. "He has grown and matured as a baseball player and as a person. He is another in a line of great Lobo hitters and will be playing on TV someday."
Sanchez, a senior from Las Cruces, N.M., earned two wins in three relief appearances for the Lobos last week. Sanchez threw one and a third innings against NMSU on Tuesday, striking out every batter he faced. His first win of the week was on Friday against Gonzaga, pitching three innings without giving up a run. He only allowed one hit, one walk and struck out five batters on a season-high 53 pitches as the Lobos rallied to hand the Bulldogs their first loss this season. On Saturday against Gonzaga, Sanchez pitched the 10th inning with one strikeout to set up the Lobos for the 2-1 win in the bottom of the inning. For the week, Sanchez had 10 strikeouts, one walk, one hit allowed and no runs allowed in five and a third innings of work. On the season he has struck out 14 batters and allowed only one earned run on three hits in six relief appearances spanning nine and one-third innings. His 14 strikeouts are good for second on the team.
"I don't know what his ceiling is," Birmingham said about Sanchez. "He's capable of so much. He's got so many different arm angles and so many different pitches from each slot."
This is the second time in their careers Peterson and Sanchez have been honored with the weekly award for their stellar play. Last season they were named Mountain West Conference Player and Pitcher of the week, respectively, for games played March 21-27. That same week they were also selected by CollegeBaseballInsider.com as the West Region's National Players of the Week.
Peterson and Sanchez are the second and third Lobos to receive this honor from the Mountain West this season. Junior center fielder Josh Melendez was named Player of the Week on Feb. 28 for games played from Feb. 20-26.

Prevalence of malnutrition in Parkinson's disease : a systematic review
Sheard, Jamie M., Ash, Susan, Silburn, Peter A., & Kerr, Graham K. (2011) Prevalence of malnutrition in Parkinson's disease : a systematic review. Nutrition Reviews, 69(9), pp. 520-532.
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients may be at higher risk of malnutrition because of the symptoms associated with the disease and the side effects of the medication used to manage it. A decline in nutritional status is associated with many adverse outcomes related to health and quality of life. It is not clear, however, to what extent this population is currently affected by malnutrition. The objective of this review was to systematically assess the methodology and outcomes of studies reporting the prevalence of malnutrition in PD patients. Studies that attempted to classify participants with PD into nutritional risk and/or malnutrition categories using body mass index, weight change, anthropometric measures, and nutritional screening and assessment scores were included. The prevalence of malnutrition ranged from 0% to 24% in PD patients, while 3–60% of PD patients were reported to be at risk of malnutrition. There was a large degree of variation among studies in the methods chosen, the definition of malnutrition using those methods, and the detail in which the methodological protocols were reported. The true extent of malnutrition in the PD population has yet to be accurately quantified. It is important, however, to screen for malnutrition at the time of PD diagnosis.

Last Sunday night at Bennetts Lane was billed as a special "farewell" gig for saxophonist Jamie Oehlers, who is leaving Australia to live in Britain early next year. But a last-minute switch saw Oehlers step aside - at least as bandleader - and make way for a CD launch by the Frank Gibson Quartet.
As it happens, Oehlers is also a member of Gibson's group, so those who turned up to hear the saxophonist were not disappointed. In fact, such was the authority and ease with which Oehlers fronted the group that you could have been mistaken for thinking it was his band.
Acoustically, though, Frank Gibson jnr was always in charge. The veteran New Zealand drummer is an immensely powerful presence on the bandstand - sometimes ferociously so - and his playing on Sunday was filled with a bristling, restless energy that kept him at the forefront of almost every tune. His curiosity and inventiveness were expressed through taut, eager rolls, unexpected accents and polyrhythmic fills: a constant thrust and parry in response to each piece and to his colleagues.
Bassist Leigh Barker did an excellent job in a demanding role (furiously fast and continuous riffs; rhythmically intricate stop-start phrases), stepping into the bass chair after only one rehearsal.
Pianist Sam Keevers seemed more muted than usual - perhaps as a result of the unbalanced sound mix, which often left him struggling under Gibson's busy ride cymbal and vigorous snare bursts. But he did supply some intriguingly introspective solos, along with a memorably lyrical composition, Milton Nascimento.
There were three tunes from Gibson's new CD, Rainbow Bridge, including the title track, which fused a friendly Brazilian-tinged shuffle with some dense, tightly-wired statements from piano and saxophone. Here, as on every piece that featured his playing, Oehlers rolled out phrase after supple phrase, effortlessly pushing forward to match Gibson's intensity without sounding overblown.
On Nascimento, his tenor lines flowed expansively over and around the beat, while on Every Time We Say Goodbye, his subtle and beautifully controlled glissandi crafted a strikingly personal statement from a well-trodden melody. It may not have been Oehlers' gig, but his playing with Gibson clearly demonstrated how far he has come as an artist, and how keenly he will be missed when he heads to Europe.
