Nintendo took an unorthodox approach to this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Instead of unveiling the NX, or showcasing several of their upcoming games, they chose a different path through these ever important woods. Although they spoke briefly about the upcoming Pokemon games, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, was the meat, potatoes, and delicious cheesecake dessert, of Nintendo's E3 show. Although many saw this as risky going into it (myself included,) Nintendo more than proved themselves with just one, monumental title. They not only gave this previously untitled game a name, but they also showed hours of gameplay and offered fully realized demos to everyone on the floor. They also showed a lengthy new trailer, with quite a bit of unseen gameplay (3 minutes and 18 seconds.) For Zelda fans, this absolute shoveling of new features was quite a bit to digest, so I went ahead and did all the leg work for you.
When Miyamoto made the original Legend of Zelda for the NES, Link was basically able to go wherever the player intended, right from the jump. The first Zelda was, in a way, the first "open world," game for many players. It was quickly made clear that Aonuma's Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, was a vision meant to pay tribute to that original experience, while also bringing the franchise into the modern age of action adventure RPGs (Link even runs into a mysteriously hooded old man early on.) So many new features have been added, that it was arguably acceptable that Nintendo didn't show much else. The game was originally announced in 2013, and was planned for a 2015 release, before suffering delays to 2017. The game is now scheduled to launch along side the NX, and is simultaneously being released for the Wii U, as originally promised. Everything that was shown at this years E3 was shown on the Wii U, but don't let that scare you. The game was BEA-UTIFUL.
The World
I've decided to divide the world into 3 categories; Environment, Graphics, and Sound.
Nintendo has said that the area that was available in the E3 Demo was less than 2% of the entire world, and the community has since been in heavy debate over the actual size of the rest. Regardless, that is quite a hefty world size considering Aonuma intends to let the player completely loose, to go in whatever direction they choose, right from the start. The Hyrule we've seen thus far has been one characterized by large plains, covered in tall grass, and spotted with forests. Looming in the distance of any of these fields will almost certainly always lie a snowy mountain top, or some sort of ruins. The part that makes all of these beautiful set pieces stand out, is the fact that if you see it, Link can go to it, and attempt to even climb to its peak, or roof-top. As Link runs through the plains, climbs mountains, or glides down from the top of a tower, various wildlife and enemy encampments can almost always be spotted. Link can hunt this wildlife, and attack these enemy camps, to collect various resources and weapons. Using the environment as cover, he can stealthily creep through tall grass to gain the element of surprise, when encountering groups of foes. As Link looks out into the world from the peak of a mountain, or the top of a monolithic building, the field of view is absolutely outstanding, especially considering that everything we were shown, was shown on the Wii U. Whether it be a babbling brook in the distance, or an abandoned woodsman's shack at the base of a mountain, Link can look on in fantastic detail, and mark his map for future exploration. Enemy AI even behaves differently depending on the time of day (sleep at night, guard shifts, patrols, darker enemy types, etc.)
Fans of the series will immediately recognize the iconic cell shaded art style, much like that which was present in Windwaker. The creatures and scenery have a very vibrant color pallet, and although the cell shading in Windwaker gave the game a "cartoony" feel, Breath Of The Wild has a surprising level of detail that makes it work in a humble way that Nintendo has become fond of. The lighting is great, and even the clouds cast shadows on the ground as they pass overhead. Details like this speak volume to the dedication to making a fantastic game, that has caused Aonuma to delay the game so far. The game uses, what seems to me, to be about a 24 minute day/night cycle. When the sun rises from behind the mountains, the dynamic lighting is bright and casts glare upon the outdoor environments. In contrast, the sun sets to amber and purple tones as it transitions into twilight, and then into dusk, all while casting dynamic shadows in the little crevices of the rocky cliffsides and worn outer temple walls of ruins. Realistic weather effects showcased sheets of rain pouring down on link and surrounding wildlife, while lightning struck close during the gameplay trailer (about the 2 minute mark.) Fire and explosions look fantastic, and water looks and behaves pretty realistically, even when link interacts with it. There is even fog in areas with higher elevation.
The music of the Zelda franchise has always been iconic, and that isn't without reason. Breath Of The Wild continues this legacy with, what sounds to me, to be the best score so far. Fantastic subtle piano melodies play as Link traverses the peaceful areas of the Hyrule terrain, and exciting string orchestra music picks up tempo as he finds himself in dangerous situations. Aside from the music, the world of Hyrule has an orchestra of its own, comprised of subtle wildlife sounds, as Link treks through forests, and snowy mountains. Throughout the various gameplay videos, Link sprints from situation to situation to the sound of the wind blowing through trees, birds chirping from within the trees, insects buzzing and humming in the tall grass around him, and the grunts and knocking about of nearby encampments of Bokoblins. Each of the many weapons Link can now wield make a unique sound when hitting the various enemy types shown, and the same goes for the sound different shields make when enemies are swinging back at him. Fires audibly crackle as they spread to burn the grass, trees, and even Link himself. Arrows whistle as they whizz past Link's head, into enemies, and thunk against shields or the environment. The bows in this game even make the iconic thrumming sound when the wielder runs out of arrows and learns the hard way. Water even makes subtle sounds as it falls, or babbles in a stream or creek. Last but not least, the first thing that the viewer will notice in the new trailer is the presence of a voice actor telling Link to "Wake up!" (I got chills.)
As you can see I've chosen to also split this topic into several categories, due to the colossal overhaul to how Link travels within Hyrule.
Until now, every 3D Zelda has had a unique approach when it came to jumping. Link has never had a button that caused him to jump on command. This concept was dropped in lieu of a system where Link had a dodge roll, and if he needed to jump, he simply would jump in the direction he is running if the player pushed him to run over a ledge, or towards a gap. Aonuma has chosen to give link the ability to jump on command in Breath Of The Wild, so that he can more tactically tackle the obstacles, and challenges, of the varying terrain. Link can now jump towards a ladder and will grab onto it at the height of his jump. He can also jump to avoid incoming threats and attacks, just like he could with the dodge roll. Hyrule now has a much more vertical sense of setting.
Hoooweee climbing. Let me tell you about climbing. Aonuma is quite proud of this addition to the series, as it is quite complex for a Zelda title. Previously, Link could only climb in specific areas which were marked by painfully obvious vines, or other climbing type game textures. Oh how that has changed. People who played Skyward Sword will remember a round stamina meter that would appear, and reduce gradually, as Link ran, climbed vines, or pushed heavy objects. That stamina ring has returned and is being used in a very similar way. Link can now climb, what seems to be, anything. Stamina will now decrease according to the incline of the surface he is climbing, and as long as the player can reach the top before depleting said meter, Link can go anywhere. He can even climb larger enemies, much like the player does in Shadow of the Colossus, for Playstation 2.
Shield Surfing
If you've ever looked down at the base of a snowy mountain from the top and thought, "Man I wish I didn't have to find a shady way to work my way down this beast to get there," fret not, for Breath Of The Wild has found a wonderfully fun way to expedite this tedious open world challenge. While jumping, the player can now press a button and Link will hop onto his shield like a snowboard and zoom down hillsides and snowy declines with ease. As far as I can tell, the shield that you surf on will take durability damage based on the distance Link falls before he hits the ground and begins building momentum, and it may even take more based on how far he surfs.
With the vertical nature of Hyrule being placed more center stage this time around, gameplay demos showed Link tackling this issue by using an item that worked much like a hang glider, or parachute. The glider seems like a main item that Link can deploy after jumping from high elevation, which enables him to slowly fall, as he safely covers ground, and moves to a far away location with lower elevation. The item seems to work much like the gliding leaf in Windwaker, and the one Deku Link uses in Majora's Mask.
At one point Link discovers a raft in a river that runs through some snowy mountains. To steer the raft, Link is shown fanning in the direction he wants to move at a sail, with a large leaf. This may very well prove to be the quickest alternative to swimming, should link be left with slim pickings in the way of traversal through water based obstacles and terrain features. Just speculation, but improving the raft may be a mechanic that Nintendo shows off later, as the upgraded sail was added to the HD remaster of Windwaker for the Wii U. This upgrade to a classic game showed Nintendo acknowledged that players didn't want to spend long boring stretches traveling from point A, to point B.
Combat, although largely unchanged at it's foundation, has become faster paced, and teeming with little subtle improvements. For example, instead of having to just know how many hits each enemy takes to be destroyed, they now have visible health bars floating over their heads as you engage them. Also, since the many weapons Link can pick up on his journey, now take durability damage through use, combat now involves the frequent use of the ability to switch seamlessly from weapon to weapon. Armor now also gets considered. Each piece of clothing or armor you collect now has an armor value, which decides how much damage is reduced upon being hit. Shields are similar in this way, and also have a block stat. Combat has been sped up and link can now fire his bow as he surfs on his shield down a small hill to avoid incoming enemy arrows. In contrast, if Link executes a perfect dodge/parry time slows down and he gains the ability to deliver a "Flurry Rush," which essentially lets him quickly deliver a flurry of hits at the enemy before time resumes. Different weapon types mean different strategies. Although the sledgehammer does more damage than the traveler's sword, Link must adopt a much slower attack animation which leaves him vulnerable. Should the player choose to wield a claymore, they must also choose to sacrifice the use of a shield. Breath of the Wild certainly brings the Zelda franchise into the modern era of RPG combat.
User Interface
Categories. You're starting to get the picture here I assume…
The menus and item organization have been modernized alongside everything else. Subtle improvements to the interface of this game in general make obvious the reasons for it's delays. Instead of the rotating box menus and vague item categorizations of past games, they've adopted just a general organizational tab system that keeps armor, weapons, food, and crafting materials into their own neat categories. Each item has it's stat, whatever it may be, visible in the lower right hand corner of it's thumbnail portrait. These stat numbers are even color coded red, or green, depending on how it stacks up against your current equipment.
Aside from the stereotypical "Hearts," that represents Link's health, in the upper left corner, some peculiar things have been added to the on screen HUD that add an all new layer of depth and tactics to the gameplay. The mini map in the lower right hand corner seems to be MUCH more detailed than previous titles in the franchise. The map in Breath Of The Wild seems to be quite like a satellite image, ripped from a cell shaded version of Google Maps. Just to the left of this mini map are two new meters that should be noted. The top circle is a temperature gauge. As this gauge's needle leans into the hot or cold ranges, Link must change his clothing accordingly, to avoid being crippled by health reduction. It's shown in several gameplay videos that Link must don a "Quilted shirt," at the cost of armor, to increase cold weather resistance.
Just below the temperature circle, lies a little circle of the exact same size that displays sound in the general area. This gauge gives the player an idea of how much noise Link is making, so that they can make tactical decisions when approaching enemies with stealth. There are even pop ups that appear alongside the right of the HUD when new gear is picked up, which informs the player if the equipment is better or worse than current equipped items (green or red up or down arrow.)
The Sheikah Slate
What is it?
Link recieves the "Sheikah Slate," immediately after awakening in a mysterious pool, and is told by a voice, "That is a Sheikah Slate. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber." The Sheikah Slate, is essentially a magical tablet/Swiss army knife. It acts as Link's map, performs what are basically the games spells through "runes," can be used as a scope to place markers on the terrain/map, operates the amiibo functionality, functions as a key to various temples, and looks like a wicked cool tome hanging on his utility belt. Link even, now has the ability to pull his map up on the Slate and fast travel to key locations from anywhere.
The Runes
The runes, as seen below are essentially what boil down to spells. There are essentially 4 of them so far. The first one is the bomb. Basically the slate generates a rechargeable, magical, blue bomb that has the option of being remote detonated. Next is Magnesis. Magnesis essentially turns Link in to Magneto, and gives him the ability to telekinetically move metal objects and chests. The third one is called Stasis. Stasis allows you to freeze time for an object. This is shown to solve puzzles by stopping gears, rolling boulders, and to store kinetic energy. Essentially if the object has had stasis cast on it, Link can then hit the object several times, and when time unfreezes all of the hits will register simultaneously and send the object flying. Last is Cryonis. Cryonis is essentially the same as the Ice Rod, from earlier 2D Zelda titles. Link can use Cryonis to raise blocks of ice from water to act as platforms, or lift gates.
The Wolf Link Amiibo has been shown to summon Wolf Link into the game world as a sort of pet for Link. The Wolf pet follows link around and helps him hunt wildlife, and fight foes, much like D-Dog in Metal Gear Solid V. The Wolf's hearts will coincide with his hearts acquired through the special stage in Twilight Princess.
What follows will not only be a brief description of each of the categories, but also a comprehensive list of all of the Items I've seen so far, along with their coinciding stats.
Breath of the Wild has broken the traditional Zelda formula of having a very small weapon list, accompanied by a repetitive tool set. Items and equipment in this game function much like other modern RPGs, in that enemies often drop equipment/items that link can wield, wear, or even consume or craft with. Each weapon has a unique set of combat animations, attack speed, damage stat, and appearance. Below is a List of every weapon I saw, with its damage stat in parenthesis.
- Traveler's Sword (5)
- Traveler's Claymore (10)
- Iron Sledgehammer (12)
- Bokoblin Arm (5)
- Soldier's Spear (7)
- Soldier's Sword (??)
- Soldier's Broadsword (14) [credit to redditor Pandaa 187]
- Traveler's Spear (3)
- Boko Club (4)
- Torch (2)
- Wood Cutter's Axe (3)
- Tree Branch (2)
- Rusty Broadsword (5)
- Boko Spear (2)
- Korok Leaf (1)
- Pitchfork (2) [credit to ZerrithDotCom of Reddit for showing me this]
- Fire Rod (5) (special casting projectile weapon)
- Traveler's Bow (5)
- Soldier's Bow (14)
- Spiked Boko Bow (12) [credit to redditor Pandaa 187]
- Boko Bow (4)
Arrow Types [UPDATE: Thank you J. Watts for reminding me of the various arrow types that have been shown.]
- Fire
- Ice
- Explosive
- Pot Lid (1)
- Soldier's Shield (??)
- Traveler's Shield (4)
- Booko Shield (3)
Armor works just like weapons, bows, and shields, except there are added stats that have to do with temperature, and weather protection. For example, the Quilted shirt, while less defensive than the Hylian tunic, offers link increased cold resistance, for snowy mountains, and chilly lakes. Not much armor has been shown, but in the trailer we do briefly see link wearing shiny, metallic, plated armor, with a matching knight shield. (Although it is only speculation, I assume the hat seen in the picture to the right is a part of that armor set. Also, in some videos Link had various different hair styles.)
- Hylian Tunic (3)
- Hylian Trousers (3)
- Quilted Shirt (1)
- Old Shirt (1)
- Well-Worn Pants (1)
- Champion Shirt (3)
Food seems to work a lot like it does in Skyrim. If you're in a pickle, you can simply cram your face with food for some quick hearts restoration in a pinch. There has also been a cooking mechanic shown, which increases raw food's health restoration. In the list below the value to the right of each item, is the amount of hearts it restores on consumption. Link can now hunt wildlife like boars and deers, for meat which can of course be cooked. Hunting requires Link to be quiet and stealthy to keep from scaring skittish game. (Credit to
- Steak (1)
- Bird Meat (1)
- Rushroom (1/2)
- Courser Bee Honey (2)
- Hyrule Herb (1)
- Hyrule Bass (1)
- Acorn (1/4)
- Beet (??)
- Hylian Shroom (1/2)
- Apple (1/2)
- Spicy Pepper (1/2)
- Stamella Shroom (1)
- Endura Shroom (?)
- Hearty Truffle (2)
[Food-Cooked] (Note that a + indicates that the recipe will fully restore health and add that number of hearts to link)
- Hearty Mushroom Skewer (+4)
- Seared Steak (1.5)
- Prime Steak (1.5)
- Baked Apple (3/4)
- Meat & Mushroom Skewer (7)
- Energizing Mushroom Skewer (5)(Restores Some Stamina)
- Failed Experiment (1/4)
- Steak Skewer (2)
- Hearty Meat & Mushroom Skewer (+3)
- Energizing Elixir (restores stamina)
- Spicy Elixir (3)(Cold Resistance for 9:50)
- Dubious Food (1)
- Steamed Mushrooms (2)
I'm not honestly completely sure of what capacity a crafting system will exist in this game, but I expect it to be at least a slight improvement to the one that existed in Skyward Sword. Below are the Items that didn't have a recovery stat, so I am assuming they are used for crafting.
- Ancient Spring
- Restless Cricket
- Ancient Screw
- Sizzlewing Butterfly
- Sunset Firefly
- Hightail Lizard
- Ice Keese Wing
- Bokoblin Horn
- Firewood
- Bokoblin Fang
- Ruby
- Flint
- Opal
- Topaz
- Amber
- Sapphire
- Keese Eyeball
- Keese Wing
- Rock Salt
- White Chu Chu Jelly
- Blue Nightshade
- Korok Seed (P.S. these guys are back :D)

End of the road – St. John's, NL
The road trip has come to an end because, well, there's no more road. Yesterday I drove out to Cape Spear, the easternmost point of North America, and dipped my toes in the sea and threw the rock I'd brought from the Pacific into the Atlantic. (The cape is a fantastic spot, with the province's oldest lighthouse and a view like none other. It's also a good place to spot whales. I managed to glimpse a pod of humpbacks breaching and spouting way out at sea, on their way south.)
This journey has been a six-week solo adventure that began in Victoria, B.C. and took me through so many varied towns and cities and parks and gave me the opportunity to see friends from long ago, and make new friends along the way. It was also a chance to experience all 10 provinces, and all 10 capital cities – I even got a photo of every single parliament building! I've had a blast seeing Canada from coast-to-coast, watching the trees shrink and fade away, before coming back and then shrinking again. In the last six weeks I've had many moments of quintessential Canadiana; standing in the middle of a wheat field on the prairies, canoeing across a glassy lake in northern Ontario, eating poutine in Québec, tapping my toes at a kitchen party in PEI, and encountering a moose in the wilderness of Newfoundland. Last night I even became an honorary local. With a few of my newfound friends cheering me on, I kissed a cod and downed a double shot of screech (awful, paint-peeling rum) at a pub on George Street. I got a certificate at the end. Mission complete. (And another item off my bucket list!)
Travel tip: If you visit Newfoundland you shouldn't miss the opportunity to be "screeched in" and experience the ultimate Newfoundland rite of passage. I can't reveal all the details because it's meant to be a surprise, but needless to say, it's a fun, whacky and oh-so-Newfoundlandish experience. (Dee, one of my hosts here at the hippy commune, has been screeched in nine times – once for every year she's been living here!) Many bars around St. John's advertise the event, but the best place to go, according to my hosts, is Christian's Pub, where the barman performing the ceremony will give you your money's worth. Cost is $15 per person.
I love this country, my home, and I've had the journey of a lifetime. Who knew? Canada may seem not particularly exotic or romantic to those of us who live here and who dream of far-flung beaches and exciting destinations in the southern hemisphere, but I say stick closer to home for your next adventure and you won't be dissapointed. And you won't need to get shots or your passport updated! The best time of year to go, I think, is September, because most of the country is enjoying the last of the summer weather, and it's easier to find places to stay and less crowded tourist hot spots after Labour Day. I've been incredibly lucky with the weather. Yesterday was a balmy 23 C here in St. John's, which is very unusual for this time of year.
But along with the summer, my trip is now officially over, which prompts the question…
I'm hoping my readers will help me find an answer. Do I head straight back to Vancouver, stay here and get a job gutting fish, or find an opportunity waiting for me somewhere in between? My goal now is to find work, a paid gig, a living. As Brian Mulroney once said, Canada is a country of small towns and big dreams, and I'm open to heading to just about any town in this great land where I can find work and realize the rest of my own crazy ideas and aspirations. (Ideally, I'll be offered a gig in which I'm paid to travel around the world and take photos of far-flung places… but I'm open to just about anything that comes with a paycheque.)
To contact me with ideas, job offers, words of wisdom, or questions about this trip and how to make it happen for you next summer, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To the followers of this blog, thanks for coming along for the ride. I hope you've enjoyed it. And to the people who've helped me along the way, I couldn't have done this trip (and it just wouldn't have been the same) without your generosity and support. To the following people who hosted me, fed me, let me do laundry and most importantly, shared with me their local's knowledge and their company for a short time:
- Annemarie and Gary (Victoria, B.C.)
- Katie and Dave (Merritt, B.C.)
- Sarah and Ana (Nelson, B.C.)
- Kristine (Edmonton, AB)
- Gina (Calgary, AB)
- Andrew (Moose Jaw, SK)
- Shannon and John (Winnipeg, MB)
- Chloe and Ian (Dryden, ON)
- Suzy (Thunder Bay, ON)
- Rodger and Maria (Toronto, ON)
- Cher and Blair (Morewood, ON)
- Eve (Montreal, QB)

- Karen (Charlottetown, PEI)
- Anastasia and Keith (Halifax, NS)

To my wife that I don't tell enough, I LOVE YOU, but that doen't say it all. How do I tell the most important person in my life that you mean everything to me in three small words, I'm not sure I can. On this day I say I love you, tommorrow I will say I love you. Just know that the words when spoken mean so much more to me. Thank you for all you do for me and our family.

Well, Officer Orton, you certainly know how to make your aunt cry! What a beautiful tribute to a special wife, Mom, niece, friend--all those wonderful parts she plays. Loved the pictures Becky posted--lots of love here. She is an awesome young lady, and we love her dearly. Love to all--Aunt Shirley and Uncle David and a very Happy Valentine's Day.
Glad that Ruby is up and running again. Beck--you should have the oil changed every 3 to 4 thousand miles and have it checked every gas fill-up to be sure you have plenty. Glad all is o.k. The Lord certainly sits by your side during these mishaps of yours. Actually, he is with you all the time. Love you.

It is late Friday afternoon and this weekend here in the UK it is the Spring Bank Holiday which means no work, generally speaking, until Tuesday. I have not long returned home from a short walk to the chemist to collect some tablets I was prescribed for a fungal infection in my toenails. I should have collected them earlier but other things got in the way and I simply forgot. I was up early and spent some time on the treadmill and cross-trainer before having my breakfast. I had to wait for E to get up and come downstairs before deciding to take a shower just in case she needed assistance. There would be no work today for at eleven-thirty she had an appointment at the local hospital and I had to take her there. She is presently unable to drive herself because of her condition and the medication she is taking. The appointment took about a half-hour after which we would normally have driven back home but we made a detour and paid our neighbour who was admitted to hospital a few days earlier a brief visit, (see earlier post). Although she has lost an awful lot of weight she is looking much better though she always was slim anyway. She is however very poorly and knows herself she is living on borrowed time but she remains jovial and positive. Hopefully she will be able to return home by this coming Tuesday (8th). We spent over an hour with her before finally leaving for home. It was way after two o'clock when we had lunch and then I had to go out again for my prescription. Now as I write it is almost four o'clock and that is why I say there will be no work for me until Tuesday. I have just received a mail indicating the face mask I had ordered in order to protect me from the floor paint fumes is on its way so I could do some work tomorrow but I won't. I propose to take full advantage of the three-day break which as it happens is forecast to be hot and sunny.

No. Not Victor Standish sadly.
Dennis Lehane will adapt Travis McGee for Fox and Appian Way, based on 1964′s The Deep Blue Good-By and 20 subsequent novels by John D. MacDonald.
Chernin Entertainment and Leonardo DiCaprio are producing
with the latter eyeing to star. The project previously had Paul Greengrass and Oliver Stone circling to direct.
Leonardo in no way looks like Travis McGee, but he usually crafts a performance that stays with you.
Travis McGee is different than most other "detectives" you encounter in mysteries and crime fiction.
He is not a policeman or a licensed private investigator. Instead, he describes himself as a salvage consultant.
He recovers property that has been stolen, misappropriated or swindled from his clients. He charges a fee for this service. (Half of what he recovers minus the expenses off the top.)
Travis lives on a 52 foot houseboat named "The Busted Flush".
The name comes from a poker game in which Travis won the boat from an unfortunate millionaire who only had four of the requisite five cards and tried to bluff Travis.
The "Flush" is berthed at Slip F-18, Bahia Mar Marina, Fort Lauderdale. In 1987 a plaque was erected at the marina that memorialized the slip and its famous resident.
Travis calls himself a beach bum who takes his retirement in installments. He prefers to take on new cases only when the cash fund hidden in a hidey hole in the Flush gets low.
He also owns an old Rolls Royce that somebody long ago converted into a pick-up truck. The truck is painted a horrible blue by the guy who did the conversion.
"I have one of those useful faces. Tanned American. Bright eyes and white teeth shining amid a broad brown reliable bony visage.
The proper folk-hero crinkle at the corners of the eyes, and the bashful appealing smile, when needed. I have been told that when I have been aroused in volent directions I can look like something from an unused corner of hell, but I wouldn't know about that.
My mirror consistently reflects that folksy image of the young project engineer who flung the bridge across the river in spite of overwhelming odds, up to and including the poisoned arrow in his heroic shoulder."
"People who censor books are usually illiterate."
"I think there is some kind of divine order in the universe. Every leaf on every tree in the world is unique. As far as we can see, there are other galaxies, all slowly spinning, numerous as the leaves in the forest.
In an infinite number of planets, there has to be an infinite number with life forms on them. Maybe this planet is one of the discarded mistakes. Maybe it's one of the victories.
We'll never know."
"I think the closest we can get to awareness is when we see one man, under stress, react in ... in a noble way, a selfless way."
"The years from seventeen to twenty-three cover a long, long time of change and learning. She had crossed that boundary that separates children from people.
Her eyes no longer dismissed me with the same glassy and patronizing indifference with which she might stare at a statue in a park. We were now both people, aware of the size of many traps, aware of the narrowing dimensions of choice."

My interest in genealogy started when I was a child. My dad's mom use to tell me that the family history book had been burned in a fire, but she knew we were related to Daniel Boone. I never forgot that, nor have I ever found the connection haha. Along with doing genealogy I spend a lot of my time doing photo restorations, namely for victims of Sandy through Care for Sandy, and also of family photos that I add to the books I write on our family history.
19 February 2009
Paul Mertin Best 1890-1939
Paul Mertin Best was born 3 Sep 1890 in Pierce County, North Dakota to Charles and Cora M. He had six known siblings; Forrest M, Ruby C, Bertha S, Ronald C, Louise and Rose. His father Charles was a farmer here in Kootenai Co, Idaho.
Paul had a few occupations himself. At the age of 19 he was a Steamboat Engineer in Coeurd'Alene, ID (1910 census). I would love to know more about that. At age 29 he was an engineer in a Wood Yard in Skagit, WA (1920 census) where his children were born. About ten years later he was a truck driver for a wood company (from 1930 census. Hard to read, but I'm sure that's what is says) in Vancouver, WA.
According to a family record Paul married Hazel Sawley 27 Jul 1915 in Sandpoint, Bonner Co., ID. Between their marriage and the birth of their first child they then moved to Skagit, WA where Hazel gave birth to Geraldine 7 Feb 1916. To follow were Melvin born 16 Mar 1918 and died Dec 1979 in Spirit Lake, Kootenai Co., ID, Harold Julian born 3 Dec 1919 and died Jun 1977 in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai Co., ID and Margaret born 1922.
Paul passed away 12 May 1939 in Coeur d'Alene, ID. He was laid to rest in the Old Paupers Cemetery (now Kootenai County Cemetery) in Post Falls, ID. The only marker to his grave in the third row first plot is a lilac bush.
What little research I have found on Paul has been done by distant relative of Hazel. So I've not been able to obtain anymore information or a photo, only what exists in public records.
Hazel went on to remarry after Pauls death twice more to a Bill Clark and a Duvall. She lived a long life and past away 24 Dec 1983 in Ferry, King Co., WA. I've not yet located where she was laid to rest.

Breast Cancer Survival and Soy
In my Care2 posts last week, The Best Detox and Breast Cancer Stem Cells vs. Broccoli, I documented ways to boost our liver's ability to clear carcinogens, make our DNA more resistant to any damaging agents that make it past our first line of defense, and then ramp up immune surveillance of any budding tumors—all in hopes of preventing cancer. But what about for those who already have it?
Though small consolation, one consequence of the fact that breast cancer is now the #1 cancer killer of young women is that breast cancer survival is a very active area of research. For example, a major study was recently published that followed 4,000 women with breast cancer for 7 years. Not all of them made it to the end. The researchers tried to figure out if there was anything about the diets of the non-survivors that may have played a role in their deaths. Two dietary components in particular were associated with an early death: saturated fat and trans fat.
Breast cancer survivors may decrease their risk of dying by 41% simply by avoiding saturated fat, found primarily in the American diet in cheese, chicken, and junk food (see my 3-minute video Breast Cancer Survival, Butterfat, and Chicken). And breast cancer survivors may improve their survival 78% by avoiding trans fat, found primarily in in junk food and animal products (see my 1-minute video Breast Cancer Survival and Trans Fat). Ideally everyone should try to minimize the intake of both, as explained in Trans Fat, Saturated Fat and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero.
On the other hand, the two foods expected to improve breast cancer survival are flax seeds and soy products. Breast cancer is initially so slow-growing that women may have tumors for years or even decades before they're diagnosed (see my 1-minute video Cancer Prevention and Treatment May Be the Same Thing). So one might expect that the same dietary factors that helped grow the tumor in the first place would keep goading it on after diagnosis. This may not always be the case, though. Alcohol, for example, is strongly associated with breast cancer risk, but the data has been mixed as to whether once you already have a full-blown tumor, it makes a difference if you continue to drink or not. Still, in general, the diet that helps prevent breast cancer is the same diet that's going to help prolong survival. And that certainly seems to be the case for the phytonutrients found in flax and soy.
Flax seeds are the most concentrated source of lignans, a class of cancer-fighting compounds that may cut breast cancer mortality risk in half (see my 3-minute video Breast Cancer Survival and Lignan Intake). Interestingly, there are no lignans actually found in the seeds, just precursors that the good bacteria in our gut turn into lignans. This may explain why women who have frequent urinary tract infections have higher breast cancer rates—the courses of antibiotics wipe out the gut flora critical to the production of these anti-cancer compounds (see my 2-minute Flax and Fecal Flora).
Soy foods appear to help prevent breast cancer and prolong survival more directly, though—the subject of today's NutritionFacts.org video pick shown above.
In health,

Medical Establishment Resistance: The Tomato Effect

Like puppies they get bigger with lightning speed and start insisting on some things which the adult in the world has to keep pushing forward in care for them. I have heard from so many how exhausted they are with their kids and they're speaking the truth. Having children definitely takes the focus off oneself or at least it should. Parenting is exhausting for sure as it pushes us beyond ourselves.
Children do need help. No matter what a child's age is, even the infant actually needs a relationship with their parent and caregivers. This seems really obvious but frankly I see so many examples of where children are treated as objects and not people. All people, not just adults are in a relationship with those around them. Adults all can fall into the trap of merely ordering children around and relationship ends up being built on the children's jumping to do our bid and call. The attitude of children as servants should nauseate and not be the first approach.
Perhaps the art of relating to children as people like ourselves is because we are torn between the care they need and how much we don't want to give of ourselves to others. Yelling at and mocking children is out there. If I were the incredible hulk, I would transform regularly at disregard for a child's ability to understand and the shame and rejection they feel at the way they are spoken to and about.
Talking about children out loud in their presence, as if they aren't in the same room, whether the topic seems innocent and fine as we are 'concerned' about their struggles, the effect is the same since the children can and do hear what adults say. Imagine that. Speaking ill of them to friends and relatives is actually not a good plan at all as it reinforces in others a negative opinion of the child and degrades their ability to do better. Adults who hear these things and parents who hold so tightly to talking about their objects of possession, also known as their offspring, in front of others, on the phone, on facebook and other places should know that their words do have an effect on their children even if the words seem innocent or 'helpful'.
One way I like to look at the concept of children as people, is that I look in their eyes and can see their feelings in emotions right there. I imagine how I would feel if spoken to in the manner they have been spoken to. Is it okay to speak to an adult that way or would the abusive tone be considered rude and abusive? Seriously.
Three adults are standing within close proximity of each other and two of the adults begin having interchanges about the third adult right in front of him as if he weren't there. The third adult would feel all sort of things which might include feeling invisible, less than human, embarrassed, awkwardness. If the same three adults were colleagues, speaking about one person in front of them to another would certainly be considered inappropriate. The concept is exactly the same with adults in children in a room as all three are people. The associative property comes to mind.
Talking about children in front of them or in back of them, should give us pause to think if we are helping them by gossiping about them with other adults. It is still gossip especially if the talk is speaking negatively about the child. The talk does hurt the child's reputation in the eyes of others, for good or for ill. We all have done this from time to time or perhaps some have succeeded in never doing it, but it just seems good to bear in mind the harm caused to the child when spoken about in front of others in their presence or not. I plan to pose examples and alternative solutions and examples from interactions with the younger variety of people I encounter in my daily roaming. If the reader does make a habit of doing this, I am basically hoping that folk can reconsider their actions for the good of the younger humans in their lives.

Orient's Slade and Cuthbert nominated for January awards
PUBLISHED: 09:26 05 February 2014 | UPDATED: 14:17 05 February 2014
Orient manager Russell Slade and defender Scott Cuthbert have been nominated for League One's January awards.
Slade is one of four bosses up for the manager of the month prize after masterminding four wins in four league games last month to keep the O's promotion challenge on track.
He is up against Brentford boss Mark Warbuton, Walsall's former Orient defender Dean Smith and Mark Dunne of Colchester.
Orient beat Shrewsbury, Carlisle, Crewe and Coventry, conceding only one goal in the process.
Scottish defender Cuthbert was a key figure in the team's solid backline - and the 26-year-old also popped up with two headed goals in those first two games.
He will face competition from Peterborough Nicky Ajose - who Cuthbert will have the task of stopping when the two teams meet on Saturday - Brentford forward Marcello Trotta and defender James Tavernier, on loan at Rotherham from Newcastle.
The award winners will be announced on Friday morning.


text: Ok guys. I am going to be brutally honest here, because I know this is a site you can be. For the life of me, I cannot understand why Des Hasler has selected Chad Randall at all to start!!!. In my honest opinion, I think he is the worst 1st grade footballer in the NRL. Dunley is a much stronger, versatile, consistent & impact player from what I have seen this year. Add another forward. King is injured. Give Cleal a go. We have Willow, Dunley & Monnas who can all be dummy 1/2. I don't see value added when Randall is in the team. I have visions of 2003, Randall standing at Dummy 1/2, and is looking back at the players he is going to pass the ball too, not realising the ball has already been played by his team mate who has been tackled. David Peachey picks up the ball, passes it to one of his flankers, who scores. The sharkies then laugh their guts up behind our goal line. I also remember him (same year) standing one off the ruck (I don't know where for the life of me he was loking - maybe the TV to see his own vision), but the ball was passed to him, and he was completely unaware of where the play was at, as he was busy......doing something else????? Sorry guys...Please don't take this as too negative, as I think we have 3 other better Hookers than Randall:- 1. Dunley 2. Ballin 3. Willow (I know he has only played it token as once) so we are in good hands. Please feel free to give me your honest opinion / feedback.

Kasese Cobalt company Ltd. (KCCL) was formed in 1992 as a corporate entity with the government of Uganda to recover cobalt metal from an unstable stockpile of a cobalt-rich sulphide concentrate (pyrite). It is located near Kasese town(30E,00"17N), 420 km west of Kampala, Uganda along the Kasese-Mbarara road.
The project's cost was US$153 million making it the largest foreign investment in Uganda. It has also attracted grants from international government agencies for environmental projects, health centres, roads, bridges and other community projects
The project will process cobalt from existing cobalt-rich pyrite stockpiles at Kasese. Cobalt is extracted using a bioleaching process that is unique to the KCCL operation, the only cobalt bioleach operation in the world. The project is having an extremely positive impact in the surrounding area and eco systems by removing the threat of acid water runoff and contamination of Lake George and Queen Elizabeth National Park
KCCL, in co-operation with the Ugandan government, regional and local stake holders, is a leading company in setting standards in corporate social responsibility, Human Resources management, safe efficient operations and contributes to the uplifting of social and economic conditions in Kasese and surrounding areas.
KCCL is located in the outskirts of Kasese town in Kasese District of western Uganda. Kasese a small town with a population of about 30,000. The town is situated on the eastern foothills of the Rwenzori mountains overlooking the great Rift Valley.
Uganda lies on the Equator, in East Africa. It shares borders with Kenya to the East, Tanzania and Rwanda to the South, The Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) to the West and Sudan to the North.
KCCL has three operational Areas:
Cobalt processing plant
The plant was commissioned on the 29th September 2000 by His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda. Production of cobalt started in July 1999. At full capacity, KCCL is expected to produce 720 tonnes per annum of crushed cobalt cathode averaging 99.9% purity for the remaining life of the project.
Mubuku III Hydropower Station
Power is supplied from this specially constructed 9.9MW hydroelectric power plant in the nearby Mubuku valley. Excess power generated is utilized by the national grid.
Hima Limestone Quarry
Hima limestone quarry is situated 20 kms North of Kasese on the main Kasese-Fort Portal road. Limestone blasted and primary crushed at the quarry , is added to the process to control pH's and precipitate dissolved iron.
The team working at KCCL is multinational. KCCL employs national workers, as well as expatriate staff, and several contractors. 98% of the staff are Ugandans. Local contractors also benefit by providing services.
Mr.Pradeep Gupta
General Manager
Mr.Gadi Musasizi
Operations Manager HPP
Mr.Moses Mugabi
Operations Manager Process Plant
The Management of Kasese Cobalt Company Ltd. recognizes and accepts its obligation to ensure that employees on site undergo the necessary development processes enabling them to effectively perform tasks to maximum potential. The company believes that acquisition of appropriate skills is integral in achieving company goals and targets. It also enhances cohesion among the staff thus maintaining teamwork.A training center exists within the company, 1 Km away from the main Administration office to provide staff with an adequate and conducive training environment. The center has offices, 2 lecture rooms with a capacity of 55 students each, and 2 outdoor training venues. A book store has been set up within the center stocked with literature and other information relevant for staff development. The company supports the following forms of training; On job training; In house training (Facilitated by key company personnel and external consultants); External training (Facilitated by non- company personnel); On line and distance education. (As a case by case); Others (As deemed appropriate by Management) trainings are also provided to secondary & tertiary institutions.

KCCL has in the past facilitated industrial training placement of various students from Universities and tertiary institutions in various disciplines for a period of not exceeding 3 months as required by their training program. A follow up of the students who have undergone this training and experience at KCCL has indicated that the training has been beneficial. A trainee placement program is in place to enable these students achieve the desired experience.
The KCCL History takes us back to the 1990s when the idea of the plant was birthed. Since then a lot has taken place through the construction, commission and production phases of the plant. With ongoing developments, some of this important history can easily be forgetting denying the present an impression of the past and thereby appreciation of the journey taken as the plant to its present day operation. The Museum and phot gallery gives staff, their dependants and visitors an opportunity to review our past through an interesting and entertaining method of presentation The internet café enables staff access the internet at their time of convenience for various reasons ranging from communication, to acquiring more knowledge.
KCCL is committed to continuous dissemination of information to students and academic groups in order for them to fulfill academic Endeavour's. The community is one of KCCL's greatest assets and training students is crucial to KCCL`s goal of extending social benefits to its community. The KCCL training centre has provided training to students both at secondary and tertiary levels of education with a bias to areas of Geography, Environment, Chemistry tour training. Study tours have also benefited non – students including community leaders and other people in the society.
Since 1999, KCCL has won a number of awards which are indicative of it's position as an asset to the Ugandan economy and a responsible employer:

Recently released paper by our centre's Leonhard Lades and Martin Binder from Bard College Berlin.
Autonomy-Enhancing Paternalism
We present a form of soft paternalism called "autonomy-enhancing paternalism" that seeks to increase individual well-being by facilitating the individual ability to make critically reflected, autonomous decisions. The focus of autonomy-enhancing paternalism is on helping individuals to become better decision-makers, rather than on helping them by making better decisions for them. Autonomy-enhancing paternalism acknowledges that behavioral interventions can change the strength of decision-making anomalies over time, and favors those interventions that improve, rather than reduce, individuals' ability to make good and unbiased decisions. By this it prevents manipulation of the individual by the soft paternalist, accounts for the heterogeneity of individuals, and counteracts slippery slope arguments by decreasing the probability of future paternalistic interventions. Moreover, autonomy-enhancing paternalism can be defended based on both liberal values and welfare considerations.

I apologize for how long it's taken me to post about this. Either way, here's my take on the new development at 6th and Beltline.
Below is an excerpt from the Decatur Development Map, which you should take a look at 😉
Pay attention to the numbers and colors, they'll help you figure out what's going on.
Here's a quick rundown:
Red means "Expected; awaiting construction"
Blue means "Completed"
Purple means "Proposed"
1) Shopping center, supposedly anchored by Kohl's (they haven't released the anchor yet, but it's generally believed to be Kohl's). 80,000 to 110,000 sqft.
2) Olive Garden: Currently occupied by Lynn Layton Cadillac. Lynn Layton Cadillac will move across 6th Ave (US 31) (the large road that runs north south). After Cadillac moves across 6th Ave, three takes place.
3) Lynn Layton Nissan and Cadillac move in together. Nissan will be remodeled once Cadillac moves over.
4) Kroger intends to build a fuel center in front of its building. At this moment, we don't know where on that property it will be built.
5) New tenants have been announced for the Crossings of Decatur (anchored by Target) as:
– Moe's Southwest Grill
– Gigi's Cupcakes
– Shoe Show
– The Children's' Place
6) Bender's Gym: A 33,000 sqft, $3.5 Million facility.
There's also another development that I neglected to label on the map. The orange box immediately to the right of #2 (Olive Garden) is a Verizon Store that is currently under construction.
7) This is some proposed development spot. They didn't really say anything about anyone looking at, simply that it was "prime real estate."
Here's the deal.
Most of this I expect to happen. The city will benefit through increased tax revenue, substantially. However, traffic is going to get bad. The city plans improvements to the Beltline/Veterans Dr intersection, and there will be a light placed in front of the Kohl's shopping center.
Eventually something is gonna have to give, and I don't think we can expect anything to happen until the widening of the Beltline on the SE end. Even with that widening, you still have the problems on 6th Ave and AL 67 east of US 31. What we consider moderate traffic during the day (non rush hour times), can/will quickly grow into heavy. It seems quite short-sighted of the city to only consider slight intersection improvements.
What else can we expect? Sales tax produce is going to increase. I don't mean from the stores that are planned for construction, I'm talking about all over town. Folks in Lawrence, Morgan, and northern Cullman Counties will have less of a reason to drive to Huntsville now, since Decatur is closer and will be more able to satisfy their shopping needs. So, look for more traffic ALL OVER town.
As for when all of this will be completed, there's no telling. If I had to guess, I'd say mid 2013 would be the latest. But, we all know how things progress in this city…

One of the most difficult tasks for the founders of any new business is finding the capital necessary to get the business up and running. Before abandoning the financial security of their current positions, entrepreneurs need to carefully review the capital requirements for the proposed business, their own personal financial position, and the sources of financing for the new business. The issues in this area are challenging for technology-driven companies that will operate in a risky and uncertain environment and the founders should exercise caution when creating budgets and projections. While the founders obviously prefer to keep their investment in professional services manageable until the business is up and running, input from experienced accountants and financial consultants can be extremely valuable. The goal is to establish a practical and useful financial reporting system, including the ability to generate GAAP-based income statements, balance sheets and statements of cash flows, and procedures that will allow monitoring of the financial aspects of departmental activities and major inter-department projects. All forecasts and projections should be supported by key assumptions and should be rigorously and regularly tested through sensitivity analysis.
1. Costs and Expenses
Financial planning and analysis begins with the projected costs and expenses associated with launching and operating the proposed business. Every business is different and the budget items will depend on the type and number of products and services, the functions to be performed by the company, and the location and scope of the company's business activities. For example, among other things, the founders may need to consider:
Manufacturing and inventory costs, including the purchase or licensing of equipment or intangible assets;
Employment costs, such as wages and payroll taxes;
Facility costs, including payments for use of buildings and furniture; and
Overhead costs, including payments to legal and accounting professionals.
New businesses must also attempt to conserve financial resources when selecting office and manufacturing space and the equipment required for operations. In most cases, the company should take advantage of rental and leasing opportunities to conserve cash and retain flexibility before making significant long-term investments in facilities and capital assets. This can be particularly important in situations where the technology underlying the business activities of the company is rapidly changing or unstable. Also, while the founders should certainly attempt to make accurate estimates of demand and unrelated capacity requirements, it often takes some period of time to identify realistic resource requirements. Other issues that may have an initial impact on financial reserves include improvements to facilities and security deposits.
Once the business is launched, the founders need to consider the ongoing costs and expenses that will be incurred in order to operate the business. The company may incur expenses in building up an acceptable level of inventory and may also need to absorb finance charges if customers are not able or unwilling to pay on a timely basis. If expansion of business activities is contemplated, consideration must be given to projected costs of new facilities and equipment and hiring new employees. The need to comply with financial reporting requirements and simply monitor the financial performance of the business means that cash and human resources must be invested in setting up and maintain a recordkeeping and reporting system.
2. Cash Flow
It is often said that "cash is king!" The life blood of any business is its ability to collect cash and pay bills as well as pay its managers and employees. Far too often, young businesses do not have enough operating capital to meet their current needs. Consequently, they may be forced to sell out to a stronger competitor, sell a portion of the company to investors at an undesirable price, or close the doors and put the company out of business. None of these alternatives are typically what the founders intended when starting the business.
The ability to forecast cash resources and uses is an art and is by no means a well-defined science. No one has a crystal ball and any cash forecast that is prepared by the management of a company or an outside consultant can be no more than a guess as to when the customers will pay and when the business will pay its obligations. Hopefully, the more effort that is put into cash forecasting the better will be the educated guess and the more accurate the resulting picture of the future operations of the business.
Cash flow projections can be very slow, time consuming and tedious to undertake. It is often very tempting for the founders to hire someone else to prepare the projections for them. There are a variety of individuals who can help, but the critical factor is that they only help. The managers of the business are the only individuals truly qualified to develop cash flow projections. Certainly a trained professional can offer guidance and ask pointed questions to be sure that consideration is being given to all of the necessary and sometimes hidden costs of operating a business. However, the more effort put into developing cash flow projections the more accurate they will be. This exercise may also help pinpoint potential cash savings which had not otherwise been considered.
One of the most significant factors to be considered in cash flow analysis is the volume of sales that will be generated for the period for which the forecast is being made. The sales forecast must be as fine-tuned as possible. In many cases, sales forecasts are based on assumptions, often unrealistic, regarding the size of the market for the company's products or services and the market share that the company will be able to capture. While these measures and targets can provide a good starting point for preparing the forecasts, reference should be made to actual experiences of similar businesses in comparable markets. Moreover, the forecasts should take into account other factors that might impact the level of sales at any point in time, such as new distribution arrangements, expansion of product lines, seasonality, and the state of the economy.
New businesses selling technology-based products and services may find it is difficult to estimate the average sales price for its products during the product launch period. While some reference can be made to comparable products, actual customer use and satisfaction will ultimately determine the sales price, as will the future impact of competition. Another factor to consider is the need for the company to offer discounts on products and services in order to create incentives for customers to use their products and services during the launch period. If discounts are planned in advance, they actually can be budgeted as a marketing expense. If, on the other hand, discounts are offered in response to market reactions after the projections have been finalized, they will reduce the projected sales revenues during this period.
Once a reasonable level of sales has been determined and the founders are comfortable with their forecasts, consideration must be given to converting sales into cash that can be used for the business. One of the most common problems for new businesses is their inability to promptly collect amounts due from customers. The forecasts should include realistic assumptions about collection of receivables, including the average amount of time between the date that a sale is booked for accounting purposes and the date that the income is collected. Also, the founders must not assume that all receivables will actually be collected and create reserves for returns and discounts that may be necessary in order to build customer trust and loyalty.
3. Working Capital
It is the fortunate, and rare, business that can match its expenses and income from operations from the first day. Instead, it is far more likely the founders will not to obtain some amount of working capital to continue operations until the business is profitable. The amount of capital will depend on the shortfall from operations identified by the projection of income and expenses, as well as the need to fund long-term investments that are not likely to reap returns within the specific planning period.
