Mumm Basin in Mount Robson Provincial Park
BC Park Ranger, Cypress Provincial Park (BC Parks photo)
Epic mountains, sparkling lakes, living rainforests and oceanside trails – there are hundreds of parks in BC to explore.
From the world-ranked Stanley Park in the heart of Vancouver to Gwaii Haanas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that puts the "wild" into wilderness, British Columbia is renowned for having the most extensive parks system in Canada – there are nearly 1,000 provincial parks and protected areas, plus many more national and city parks.
Walking and hiking are a given in virtually every park. Beyond that, there is wildlife viewing and bird watching, backpacking, camping, kayaking and canoeing, swimming, fishing and boating, skiing and boarding, mountain biking and mountaineering. In 2011, both BC Parks and Parks Canada celebrated their 100th anniversaries.
Three of BC's parks are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, signifying that they are a protected area of global significance.

Protecting the natural environment is crucially important, and BC is recognized as a world leader in this area. In 2009, Kootenay and Yoho national parks were jointly ranked second in the world (first in North America) by National Geographic Traveler's annual survey on destination stewardship.
Geographically, parks in the province are divided into six regions and three cities:
Vancouver Victoria Whistler
Visitors are spoiled for choice when determining which BC park to visit. Pick from some of BC's most unique or interesting parks according to special interest below, or by the region/city (above). Additional information on the province's stunning regional and provincial parks is listed on each of the regional and city pages.

Camping: Many parks offer camping facilities – both vehicle-access and wilderness sites. The typical camping season is mid-May to mid-September although opportunities also abound for winter camping. Some parks accept reservations, others don't. Check the specific park's listing. Campers in the backcountry should practice "leave no trace" ethics.
Wildlife: Although interactions are rare, most of BC's parks are in wilderness areas, so it is important for visitors on the trails to be "bear aware."
Pets: Watch for signage, but dogs on leash are usually welcome in most city parks and off-leash areas are designated. In wilderness areas, pets are generally discouraged and sometimes prohibited because of problems with wildlife, bears in particular. Check the specific park's website to be certain.
Seasons: While most parks are open year round, winter weather can close trails and make conditions treacherous. Visitors need to check trail conditions and ensure they are appropriately equipped and knowledgeable about the terrain and winter conditions. Check the specific park's website for trail conditions.
Play a part in protecting BC's forests. Abide by local park rules, exercise caution and ensure all fires are extinguished. For more information on BC forest fires, click here. To report a forest fire within BC from a cell phone, call *5555.

The Gift of Art
A recent donation by Michael and Maureen Harrigan helps the Museum fulfill its mission.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, January 21, 2010
Painting by Robert Taylor
Artist Robert Taylor has written several books about his aviation art. In Robert Taylor: Art Combat Paintings Vol. II, he writes about this work, titled In Gallant Company:
"When flying hazardous over-water missions, a pilot's worst nightmare was having to parachute or to ditch into the vast expanse of the Pacific, where there was little chance of ever being picked up. Yet it was a concern every fighter pilot had to live with on almost every mission flown in the Pacific. Exhausted from the exertions of combat, perhaps wounded, a pilot might have to nurse home a damaged aircraft over hundreds of miles of sea. A slip in concentration or even consciousness could bring a fighter pilot's career to an abrupt and watery end. Coaxing along a badly damaged plane on a long journey home could, I am told, be more harrowing than combat itself. All pilots in the Pacific had to contend with this ever-present fear, and they readily identified with the anxieties of another flyer in trouble, quickly rallying round to provide what support and encouragement they could. On countless missions pilots would close ranks around a stricken plane in an effort to see him home. The overbearing tension could be drawn out for over an hour or more. My painting In Gallant Company endeavours to portray such an episode, and depicts a nail-biting drama in the Solomons during the great struggle for air supremacy in 1943. Marine Corps F4F Wildcats have fought a bitter air battle. Weary from the contest but flushed with success, the F4F pilots head for base; they are joined by three F4U Corsairs, newly arrived in the Pacific, on the journey home. But one of the F4Fs is in trouble: it has been raked across the fuselage by gunfire, crazing the canopy, taking out the radio equipment and puncturing an oil pipe. The pilot is injured but in control, and has thus far managed to maintain speed. His CO and wingman have closed in to give support; but with land in sight, the F4F has started to trail smoke. As we view the drama we are uncertain whether the islands looming up are friendly or in enemy hands. How much longer will this F4F's engine continue to run? Can the pilot hang on?"

You have probably received many e-mails already, however, this is the wrong caption for this painting. EDITORS' REPLY: Thank you, to all our readers who noticed our mistake. Sorry about that. The correct art is now in place.

As to Robert Taylor's painting of the the West Virginia ablaze on December 7th shown above, if I recall correctly the 'cage masts' of those battleships shown had already been replaced by 'tripod mast" by that date.

Nope. painting is correct. Cage masts for USS West Virginia not removed until ship was raised and repaired after the attack. Check photos of the attack.
Posted by john fitzgerald on February 9,2010 | 03:05 PM
My son is researching Robert Taylor for his iGCSE art project. Could you tell us what type of paints and other mediums he uses?? We think he uses oils with an acrylic primer but can not find a source to confirm this. Are his drawings ink, charcoal, or pastels? Thank you! (If you could email me back that would be great as we are 12 hours ahead of you time wise)!
We wish we were close enough to come see the exhibit!

Thoughts Of God Stresses Atheists, Calms Believers
No shockers in this study.
http://www.livescience.com/health/th...line%20Feed%29 To a believer (or at least a Christian one) thoughts of God represent blessed assurance of eternal love, mercy and grace. To an atheist the prospect that there may in fact be a God, and in particular a God of the Bible would mean they were in deep poo, poo.... Unless of they turn to God of course. |

I'm glad you find such comfort in your beliefs - but at least be honest about it. Which you were not in the paragraph above. Interesting you felt compelled to make things up to support your POV. |

I saw a study once that showed 15 year olds who still believed in santa claus existed where happier and calmer than those who didn't.
The ultimate goal of my existence is not to achieve calm. Quite the contrary, the challenge of meeting life as it presents itself, and the stress of confronting your mortality is a positive and good thing. It sure makes you pay attention to what matters--things of this world, rather than imaginary things in an imaginary future. -Steve |

It's beyond easy for anyone to jump on the Internet and find "an article" that proves or disproves a personal belief system.
The really comical part is when they hold it up to "prove" something - like they discovered a valuable find and they're hoping for confirmation replies, groping for much needed support. |

"The researchers suggest that for religious people, thinking about God may provide a way of ordering the world and explaining apparently random events and thus reduce their feelings of distress." In other words... The concept of God brings structure in in chaotic world. |

"I need to masturbate during sex"
Special Offer
The only way I can have an orgasm during intercourse is if I masturbate at the same time, and I'm really embarrassed about it. Please help.
You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Many women need direct clitoral stimulation to bring them to climax during the deed. It's great that you know what you need in bed and how to get it. And, most likely, your boyfriend's pretty pleased with your sexual self-awareness, too. Not only does it show that you're a highly sensual woman -- a definite plus in men's eyes -- but guys get totally turned on watching their partners pleasure themselves.
That said, you might be just as orgasmic if you let your man give you a little hands-on help as well. Let him know how good he makes you feel, but that you need some CTLC (clitoral tender loving care) to send you over the edge. I bet he'll be more than happy to oblige.
When you have sex, try positions that give him easy access to your clitoris, such as woman-on-top or doggie style. Then, either ask him to touch you or take his hand in yours and show him what will get you off. If his mitts get tired, or you just feel a little extra frisky, you might want to suggest
using a vibrator during sex
You should also try different rhythms and movements till you find the ones that best hit your hot spot. When you're on top, get maximum clitoral contact by gyrating back and forth or moving your hips in circles rather than going up and down his shaft. You can pump up the friction in the missionary pose by putting a pillow under your pelvis so you can bump-and-grind against his pubic bone.
And if you still need to take matters into your own hands, go ahead. Remember, it doesn't matter how you achieve in-the-sack satisfaction, as long as you do. We bet your boyfriend feels the same way.

Will Brazil be ready? - AFR Voice Ep.17
With the world's eyes turning to Brazil for this week's World Cup draw, we'll be discussing whether the country will in fact be ready to host 32 teams once next Summer comes round. After a series of missed deadlines, a tragic disaster at the stadium that's due to host the opening match of the tournament, and the country attempting to construct more stadiums than it needs to, how much of a realistic possibility is it that everything won't be completed in time?
Moving back across the Atlantic, we'll also be profiling Fulham's new boss (and his somewhat animalistic instincts), take a look at what has been dubbed the Football League's "Black Monday", and also check in on Serie A to see why the wheels are starting to come off for Roma, and how 12,000 school children have been putting Juventus' ultras to shame.

SK expands 'mutual growth fund' for SMEs
By Lee Hyo-sik
SK Group, the country's third largest conglomerate, has expanded the size of a ``mutual growth fund'' to lend greater financial help to its smaller business partners. The group created the fund capitalized at 150 billion won in 2010. This year, it has decided to enlarge it to 321 billion won. Between 2010 and 2011, more than 400 small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that supply various industrial goods and parts have received loans from the conglomerate. SK also plans to establish an additional 100-billion-won fund in cooperation with state-run financial service companies to help its subcontractors expand production facilities and engage in more research and development activities. ``We have been sharing the fruits of our growth with smaller business partners over the years by providing them with necessary resources,'' a SK Group spokesman said. ``Not only financial support, we have been offering them management consulting and technical assistance.'' The business group has been operating an ``SK Mutual Growth Academy'' since 2006 for employees and executives of its subcontractors. ``So far, more than 70,000 individuals have taken our diverse courses. We have just begun offering the management development program for manager-level employees,'' the spokesman said. ``Under the program, 120 workers of our business partners will be sent to China every year and learn about marketing and other business subjects concerning the Chinese market.'' SK said it is extending technical assistance to small companies. It plans to set up a technical aid center for subcontractors engaging in the information and technology sector. The group also allows small firms to use its patents for free to help them hone their technological competitiveness and develop innovative products. |

Robert Pattinson is One of Hollywood's Biggest Money Makers
Vanity Fair's inaugural list of Hollywood's Top 40 Money Makers will be released on Tuesday and Robert Pattinson takes the 35th spot with 18 Million dollars. Kristen Stewart is also in the list with 16 million dollars at the 37th spot. He is one of the 6 people under 25 thatr made the list: Harry Potter trio, Radcliffe, Watson, Grint, Kristen Stewart and Shia LaBeouf. According to this list Rob made more money than Brad Pitt and Clint Eastwood in 2009...that is impressive. (You can find the full list HERE)
The magazine interviewed scores of Hollywood insiders to compile the list, says contributing editor Peter Newcomb, who compiled the list. Although agents, lawyers, studio executives, and even the stars themselves provided the deal numbers, calculating the earning power isn't always an exact science, Newcomb says.
The March Vanity Fair will be on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and will be available nationally on next Tuesday.
Now that I have joined the "working people" I will have less time for the blog :( How about hiring me Rob? Looks like you can afford me and then some :))

@Goz congratulations on the "back to work", please don't let yourself be missed. The humanity work you have been doing here is of great importance too.

Somehow I really can't believe that... Although Rob surely is worth all that money - and more! But when he signed the one contract for the first three Twilight movies he was a relatively unknown, struggling actor... it's not very likely that Summit gave him such a good contract when he was in this position, right? And once Rob became that famous after Twilight came out, this first contract was already there. So why should they have increased Rob's salary that much?! And "Remember me" is a rather small movie, so the 18 Millions can't possibly come out of that.
I think Rob will start to make the real big money only now - probably with "Water for elephants" and of course "Breaking dawn". - February 2, 2010 at 6:40 AM

I have no idea where they got that figure from, but I hope it is close to being true. He deserves it! Nice to see his name wedged between some heavy hitting A-Listers.

Promotion things like Edward dolls, cards and chocolates etc. helped him to make more money if I am not wrong. Because I know, sometimes promotion stuff bring more money than movies. And Twilight Saga's promotion stuff really brought so much money, as much as movie brought. - February 2, 2010 at 7:44 AM
- CullenLover07 said...
Good morning!
First of all, congrats Gozde. Please don't stray too far, we will miss you.
I think I read somewhere that Summit was negotiating with the Twi-three for BD and maybe this sum is factored into the $18 M. Also endorsements or promotion would be added in. Wow, to be 23 or 19 and have that much money. Both Rob and KStew seem grounded and normal, I hope that lasts.
He deserves every penny. Rob, do you need an assistant? Hire me. - February 2, 2010 at 7:59 AM

Wow... The sexual chemistry between them in that clip is just almost magical. I hope they find a way to regain that cause it was clearly gone by New Moon.

@Goz congratulations and stay with us every time possible, please.
This blog is so much important to me. It is a great support to Rob.
Rob is one of the biggest Hollywood money makers. Great!!! He is gonna be more powerful and produce his own projects. - February 2, 2010 at 8:43 AM
- AP said...
@Gozde: Congrats! I hope it was the one you were wanting...
@Juli87: I think the 3-deal for Twilight was around $12 m, and then when you add Remember Me, Unbound Captives and Bel Ami into the mix, it seems reasonable. They renegotiated for BD, on the basis of the possible 2-split, and I don't think that's included. - February 2, 2010 at 9:23 AM

Gozde--much success--not just financially, but n all ways!
Much sucess in all ways to Rob and Kristen, as well. I hope whatever he hearns will give him a comfort zone as far as finding a safe haven away from work, and as far as choosing only what he wants to do on his own terms. - February 2, 2010 at 9:51 AM

I wanted to add that, from what I understand, these money figures are not what they clear at all. By the time you take out taxes, percentages for agents, reps, lawyers, etc, the actual take-home is far less.

@Goz congratulation :) Don't forget us here ;)
He is going to make huge amounts of money in the future as well.He is smart and knows what he wants to do. Although I don't think making money is his driving force. - February 2, 2010 at 11:19 AM

Good for him. I'm very happy to hear that he is actually getting some profits out of Summit for the great job he has done in the Twilight movies.

He was probably paid for Remember Me, too, and as Executive Producer it might have been a good deal more than he was paid for the first three Twilight movies. And, even if only the Twilight movies, there have been three that he has made so that is only $6 million a piece. I read somewhere how much he was paid but can't remember what it was.

Assistant referee (association football)
In association football, an assistant referee is one of several officials who assist the referee in controlling a match. Two officials, traditionally known as linesmen (or lineswomen if they are female), stand on the touchlines, while a fourth official assists administrative or other match related tasks as directed by the referee.
General duties[edit]
All decisions by the assistant referee/linesman are only advisory to the referee; assistants do not actually make binding decisions. During the game one assistant referee oversees one touch-line and one end of the field utilising the diagonal system of control. The more senior of the two assistants will normally occupy the side of the field containing the technical areas, to help oversee substitutions. An assistant referee indicates matters to the referee usually initially by raising his flag, but nowadays also by wireless communication devices, which can include "buzzer flags" and in the most senior games, additionally a microphone and headset link, which the referee may then act upon.
Assistant referees were formerly called linesmen. In 1996, the name was changed, primarily to better reflect the modern role of these officials, and secondarily to become non-gender specific. They are also sometimes incorrectly referred to as "referee's assistants". However the term "linesman" is still commonly used.
Law 6 of the Laws of the Game outlines the general duties of the assistant referees, however their duties in a given game remain subject to the decision of the referee. These duties usually include indicating:
- When the whole ball has passed outside the field of play.
- Which side is entitled to return the ball into the field of play.
- When a player may be penalised for an offside offence.
- To assist the fourth official (if present) in notifying the centre referee that a substitution is being requested.
- When offences or other infringements of the Laws of the Game have been committed of which the referee does not have an adequate view.
An assistant referee may also be called upon by the referee to provide an opinion regarding matters which the referee requires clarification on. Occasionally the assistant referee will assist in player management during free kicks, as well as provide visual assistance during penalty kicks. The assistant referees also usually assist the referee with preparatory and administrative functions.
Due to the nature of association football's offside rule, the assistants are generally better placed to assess whether a player is in an offside position than the referee. Assistants are generally expected to position themselves such that they are best able to make such judgements.
Fourth official[edit]
The fourth official assists the referee in a variety of tasks, and may be called upon to replace another match official.
The fourth official is a recent addition to the officiating crew. English referee and administrator Ken Aston introduced the practice of having a named replacement referee in 1966, but the International Football Association Board (IFAB) did not officially create the position until 1991, and listed only areas of responsibility. The fourth official is simply instructed to assist the referee at all times, and his duties are largely at the discretion of the referee. His usual duties can be broadly divided into assisting functions and a replacement function (see below).
The fourth official typically has a table a short distance from the touchline between the two teams' technical areas, however his positioning is not defined by the Laws of the Game.
In usual practice, the fourth official assists the referee in the following ways:
- Assisting with administrative functions before, during and after the match;
- Assessment of players' equipment;
- Ensuring substitutions are conducted in an orderly manner;
- Notifying the referee of the details of the substitution, by means of numbered boards or electronic displays (where supplied);
- Notifying the teams and spectators, by means of numbered boards or electronic displays where supplied, of the amount of time added on at the end of each half, after having been advised of this by the referee;
- Acting as the contact point between the match officiating crew and any non-participants (such as stadium managers, security personnel, broadcast crews, and ball retrievers);
- Maintaining decorum in the teams' technical areas and interceding in situations where coaches, bench personnel, or substitutes become agitated;
In practice, the fourth official becomes a key member of the officiating team, who can watch the field and players and advise the Referee on situations that are going on out of his sight. The fourth official keeps an extra set of records, and helps make sure the Referee does not make a serious error such as cautioning the wrong player, or giving two cautions to the same player and forgetting to send off the player.[1]
The fourth official played a significant role in the 2006 World Cup Final when fourth official Luis Medina Cantalejo informed referee Horacio Elizondo of the headbutt of France's Zinedine Zidane against Marco Materazzi, resulting in Elizondo showing Zidane a red card and sending him from the field. French manager Raymond Domenech accused Cantalejo of using the replay board to initiate the process that led to Zidane's ejection, which would have broken FIFA rules, but FIFA maintained that Cantalejo did not breach any rules and acted properly.[2]
The fourth official serves as a replacement official in the event that one of the other officials (referee or assistant referees) cannot continue officiating (usually through injury).
In situations where an assistant referee is unable to continue, the fourth official replaces that assistant referee. In situations where the referee is unable to continue, the fourth official replaces the referee directly, or the senior assistant referee replaces the referee, with the fourth official in turn taking an assistant's position. Competition rules are supposed to clarify which of these options is to occur. If for some reason it is not stated, then typically the official with the most refereeing experience (either the fourth official or the senior assistant referee) will replace the referee.
Extra officials[edit]
Assistants beyond those discussed above are generally uncommon. However, extra official roles have been trialled in a few international tournaments.
Fifth official[edit]
For matches in the 2006 World Cup, FIFA assigned five officials. The role of the fifth official is to assist the fourth official in a variety of tasks, and potentially be called upon to replace another match official if necessary, for example in the case of injury.[3] If an assistant referee could not carry on his duties, the fifth official was to be the primary replacement, whereas the fourth official was the referee's primary replacement.[4] This distinction was made to reflect the fact that assistant referees and referees perform different tasks.[4]
The fifth official had access to television coverage of the match, but was not permitted to advise the on field referees of any incidents they had missed.[5] Speaking after the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final, Italy coach Marcello Lippi claimed that the referee had sent off France player Zinedine Zidane after receiving advice from "the fourth and fifth officials looking at the video at the edge of the pitch".[6] These claims were subsequently denied by FIFA.[5]
Additional assistant referee[edit]
Recent trials, for example at the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League group stage, have been started to make place for an additional two assistant referees to be added to the game, positioned behind the goal lines, to "ensure that the Laws of the Game are upheld, informing the referee of incidents of any kind that he may otherwise have missed, particularly in key areas of the field like the penalty area and its surroundings," but only informing the referee of their observings through a wireless communication system. Their positioning gives a good view to assist the referee in "ghost goal"-type incidents. The trial was evaluated by IFAB technical experts.[7]
This trial was later extended to the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League and qualifying games and the final tournament for the UEFA Euro 2012. Their reception has been mixed.[8] Following a two-year experiment in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and EURO 2012, as well as the AFC President's Cup and competitions in Brazil, France, Italy, Morocco and Qatar, the use of additional assistant referees was approved by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in July 2012.[9] Additional assistant referees were used in the 2013 Scottish Cup Final, the first time they had been utilised in a domestic match in Scottish football.[10]

This'll probably be the last time I was planning to set this up, as numbers are starting to drop off, but I reckon it's worth at least one more shake . As usual, I'll make sure it's set it up at 7:30pm AEST/9:30pm NZ (although if someone is keen and wants to set it up earlier, post away - I just can't guarantee I'll be back from work and fed before then). As always, any map/mode requests, post away below .
Setup'll be:
7:30pm AEST/9:30pm NZ this Wednesday, 27 June
Name = "ANZ Starhawk Night"
Minimum players = 2
Maximum players = 32
Balancing = off
Randomised teams = off
Team switching = on
All talk = on
Allow split teams = on

Comments about The North Face Reversible Down Jacket - Women's:
This has been a great little jacket so far. It is nice & lightweight and I love the fact that I can reverse it to a different color. Two jackets for the price of one! I haven't used it on any adventures yet, ie: backpacking, fishing or skiing, but I'm hoping it will be great for those days when it's not bitterly cold. It's only a 550 fill, so it obviously isn't going to be as toasty warm as an 800 fill jacket so I'll be anxious to see how it performs on the trails, rivers & slopes. We'll see...

Comments about The North Face Reversible Down Jacket - Women's:
Just got this on sale. Wore it bicycling in 40 degree weather with light rain. Was really wind proof & water beaded up on it. I wouldn't expect it to keep you dry in a downpour but I was really happy with it.
Fit is true to size. I normally wear a medium but got a large to be able to wear layers underneath & it doesn't look excessively large. Fit is a little puffy but not too much. Length comes down to mid hip in the back.

We will not only use the web site to inform you about our own work, values, and activities. The web site will also function as a forum for some of the best articles about mountains and mountaineering written by climbers, newspapers and other organisations. This means it will be a great resource for our members and all mountaineers. The new site is easy to navigate, using just five drop-down menus. Do you want to find out what we stand for, what we do, and who our members are? Look in the About UIAA section. Do you want to read news about global warming, UIAA competitions or events? Check out our In Focus page. Do you want to read about UIAA youth camps or find advice from the Medical Commission about how to treat altitude sickness, look up Activities. If you want to know more about ski mountaineering, ice climbing and our commitment to Anti Doping, check the Competition Sport section. Do you want to know which climbing gear carry the UIAA logo, showing that it is tested to the highest safety standards in the world, check the Standards section. The Calendar gives you the facts about where our next Ski Mountaineering Continental Championships takes place and when the next Ice climbing World Cup event is. Or maybe you want to take part in the Global Youth Summit? Now we would like your feedback. Do you like the new web site? Do you have any ideas for improvements? Are there any topics you would like us to cover? We are waiting for your comments. For information on mountaineering and climbing, ask the International Federation - go to www.uiaa.ch. |

Along with his dogs Hazel and Gus, Wisconsin Adventures LLC's owner Rodrigo Camacho leads hunting groups in search of quail, pheasants, grouse, and other upland birds. Their quests take them across south-central Wisconsin's scenic countryside, which is a mixture of sprawling cropland, open fields, and densely wooded terrain. Because most hunts take place on privately owned farms, they don't require licenses or permits, which allows Mr. Camacho to accommodate everyone from first-timers to reincarnations of Davy Crockett. Mr. Camacho can also set up clay-shooting targets and train dogs in the arts of pointing and flushing.
On June 30, 1904 Col. William and Anna Vilas donated a tract of land to become a public park and free recreational space in memory of their son, Henry, who died due to complications from diabetes at a young age. They added numerous improvements over the decade and in 1911, the Henry Vilas Zoo gained its first animal exhibits. Today, the zoo covers 30 acres and features a number of creatures from around the world, ranging from the vanishing chimpanzee and endangered red panda to locals such as the great horned owl and american alligator. The zoo also remains one of the few free AZA-accredited zoos across the country.
Leading up to and following the zoo's centennial, the ReZOOvenation project has expanded the visitor areas, replacing the entrance and gift shop and adding a tropical-rainforest aviary and big-cat complex. A variety of annual events are scheduled, including Halloween at the Zoo, with costumes and stops for sustainable palm-oil candy, and earth day, when children can plant trees to help lower the global temperature just enough for icicles to form. The zoo's many conservation projects also engage the public in protecting the environment and its inhabitants by installing solar-energy panels, sponsoring trips to save endangered orangutans, and collecting old cell phones.
Decorative smokestacks stretch toward the sky as Victorian red and gold decor surrounds passengers nibbling brunch in a dining salon. This scene unfolds aboard the Spirit of Dubuque, an authentic-looking paddleboat that pays homage to the century-old steamboats of the Mississippi River. Dubuque River Rides' signature vessel, it has played host to thousands of cruises filled with entertainment, meals, and improvised renditions of "Old Man River" since being christened by Iowa governor Robert Ray in 1977. Elsewhere on the river, a more modern boat cuts across the water, casting a sleek outline against the sky. The 80-foot yacht, affectionately called Miss Dubuque, sets an intimate stage for events that range from weddings to Huckleberry Finn's notorious dinner parties.
Both boats call the northern expanse of the Mississippi River their home, sharing the area with wildlife such as turtles and bald eagles. The sightseeing vessels also pass by river barges and historic structures such as the Chicago Central Pacific Railroad Bridge, which was built after the president invented Lincoln Logs in 1868. After boats return to the docks, their passengers can head over to the floating barge that houses the Ice Harbor Restaurant.
Retrace and retread tractor history at this Dyersville museum, located 90 minutes from downtown Cedar Rapids. With thousands of toys and exhibits scattered throughout its two-floored exhibition space, the National Farm Toy Museum pays tribute to historic and contemporary crop contraptions. Fun-loving farm enthusiasts may peruse the museum's frenzy of farm implements, including trucks, pedal tractors, and life-size John Deer soil-sifters. Original artwork, dioramas, and two Doug Schlesier sculptures artfully express anecdotes of American agriculture, while miniature farm replicas and Ertl Company toys convey while miniature-sized farm replicas and Ertl Company toys convey to visitors the life-sized growth of American farming. The National Farm Toy Museum is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
The Stockton Park District hosts outdoor community events throughout the year, including craft fairs, basketball tournaments, and 5K and 10K run/walks. Brothers Steve, Andy, and Tom Jordan organized the first annual 5K in 2008. They used their skills from hosting a 3-on-3 basketball tournament to plan and advertise the event. The first year, they signed up 91 runners and raised money for a tennis court behind the high school and a paper-airplane factory at the middle school. Since then, the brothers have worked to improve the race and transform it into a community event with entertainment and an increasingly challenging and interesting course.

Mr. Brown,
Thank you for a fine expression of the frustration many of our conservative friends have felt. Judging from the comments that followed here, you have now seen for yourself the ridicule and derision from the Left that prompted your original critique of the columnist.
One lesson we can learn from this disgraceful display of Progressive ethics, is that you might have acknowledged in your letter that such misbehavior is also seen from our side (though not in such volume). Misbehavior is not justified by ideology.
Please let these rude and crude responses roll off your back. Keep writing!

RCMP in Happy Valley-Goose Bay are looking for the public's help to identify a suspect in an assault that occurred at the Sandbar Lounge in the town on Thursday Aug. 16.
Around 12:20 a.m., an unidentified person reportedly entered the bar, approached the female bartender and without warning punched her in the face. The bartender was knocked down and struck a number of times before she was able to fight off her attacker and run out of the bar.
The suspect is described as a man with a medium complexion and medium build. He was wearing an orange sweatshirt with grey sleeves and hood, a yellow hat, faded jeans and glasses.
The victim was treated in hospital for her injuries and later released from hospital.
Anyone with any information on this matter or who may know the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP at (709) 896-3383.
Anyone with information and who wishes to remain anonymous, can call Crime Stoppers anytime at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Calls to Crime Stoppers are not traced and police say if they make an arrest and lay charges based on your tip, you could be eligible for a cash reward.

The Cropwell native said winning this year's championship was tougher than the previous two championships that he won.
"It was my first year of fishing 19 and under," Gossett said. "It was probably one of the toughest years of fishing. They were not biting good at all. The water temp was weird and they shut down. It was a lot of traffic down river. It was definitely tough, but it is always nice to win on a tough day like that."
The 15-year-old angler said he didn't get discouraged when things weren't going well for him in the water. Gossett said his positive mindset helped him claim his third straight title.
"Knowing that the next cast could be the big one," Gossett said. "That next cast could be the six-pound fish that you need. Luckily, I got five of them that were big enough to win. I caught eight pounds and three ounces."
The Alabama Sports Festival Bass Fishing Tournament was held on Logan Martin Lake, which is Gossett's home lake.
He said he used a straightforward approach, which helped him win the tournament.
"You have to stay confident," Gossett said. "On your home lake, it's not always the easiest. Usually you have so many spots that it gets into your head. I tried to keep it simple; that's what I did and that is how I won, by keeping it simple."
The following weekend, Gossett won the Young Southerners Bass Fishing Tournament on Neely Lake.
"I had a blessed day that day," Gossett said. "Just catching those three good ones. I catch five fish that day, but the three that got me eight pounds. I catch a big one in the morning in the grass on a sexy frog Strike King. I caught one on a swimming jig Strike King and I caught one on a Strike King rodent."
Having knowledge and experience has helped Gossett know what kind of lure to use at certain times and conditions.
"It just depends on the conditions and what time of the year it is," Gossett said. "It also depends on what the water temp is, that is the main deal. You don't want to fish a frog in 40-degree weather like you would in 88 degree what like it is now. Just practicing and spending time in the water, you learn those kinds of stuff."
Gossett also had a strong showing in the Cabela's B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Southern Divisional on Lake Okeechobee March 28-30.
"He went to Okeechobee and he finished second in the Southern Divisional, which included all of the Southeast and the kid from South Africa," father Curtis Gossett said. "This is the second time that he finished second in the Southeast. It is still great. He can say that he beat all the kids in the Southeast and South Africa except for one you are doing pretty good."
The younger Gossett wasn't thrilled about his second-place finish for the second consecutive year.
"It is better than third, I guess you can say that," Gossett said. "It is not as good as first. It's great, I always have a great time in those tournaments. You have a practice period all week then you just hang out with the guys and talk about fishing, which is always fun to do. They all know how to fish because they are there on the state team and they are some of the best in Alabama."
Gossett also enjoyed success on the high school level for Pell City High School.
"In the high school tournaments, he had three top 10 finishes out of five tournaments," Curtis Gossett said. "He had a break down and didn't get to fish all day in the one tournaments. He finished ninth at Lake Martin in the opening tournament out of 138. He finished 10th at Lake Eufaula out of 126. He finished fourth at Pickwick out of 141. The other two tournaments he had the big fish that would have won the tournament for him, but he lost it and the other one he had break down."
Gossett has come away victorious in many tournaments since February. His dad Curtis Gossett said one of the things he is proud of is his son puts himself in positions to be successful.
"What we try to teach Zeke if you put yourself in position to win, good things are going to happen," Curtis Gossett said. "If you are not in position to win, you don't have a chance. When you look back at everything you do after you finish the tournament and you did the right things you put yourself in the position and you just didn't get a good bite. Eventually those things are going to come. He has just had a big year."
Gossett's success in 2012 helped him to get two new sponsors.
"My new sponsors Maui Jim sunglasses have been supporting me a lot," Gossett said. "Elite Tungsten is like worm weights. Strike King Vicious has been with me since the beginning. I want to thank them for all for what they have done and how they have put me out there. Especially, Elite Tungsten they have me on their front page of their web site."
The accomplishments keep reeling in for Gossett. Last fall, he was in Sports Illustrated "Faces in the Crowd" section.
Thursday, he will receive a bill that was passed commending him of his accomplishments as an angler, as a student and as a young man. The ceremony is at 11:30 a.m. in Moody.
"That's pretty neat," Curtis Gossett said. "I am not sure that neither Zeke nor I have wrapped our brains around what this is and how big it really is for him to be honored like that. It is bill HJR 79. It is commending Zeke Gossett for outstanding athletic achievement. It talks about winning a state championship and being in Sports Illustrated. It talks about him being a straight A student and working with the church. It is really nice."

The number of people who have tested positive for the flu this season at Putnam Hospital Center (PHC) in Carmel is more than doctors have seen in the past, according to staff.
From Dec. 6 to Jan. 14, 52 people have been diagnosed with the flu, and 17 of them have been accepted as in-patients. Some of them may also have underlying medical conditions that have been exacerbated by the illness, according to Schneider.
"We are still saying, 'If you can get a flu shot, get one,'" she said, adding that people who suspect they are coming down with the flu are encouraged—if possible—to see a physician before visiting the emergency room.
Some local pharmacies are still offering the shot. Here is what staff members told Patch at about 3 p.m. Wednesday.
- A&P Pharmacy (off Route 22 in Southeast's Lakeview Plaza) should have the vaccine in Thursday morning. Appointments are not required.
- A&P Pharmacy (on Route 22 in Patterson) has the vaccine available. Appointments are required.
- CVS Pharmacy (on Padanaram Road in Danbury, CT) is out of the vaccine. No word on when the store will have it back in stock.
- Rite Aid (off Route 22 in Southeast's Lakeview Plaza) has the vaccine in stock. Appointments are not required.
- ShopRite of Carmel (on Route 52 in Carmel) is out of the vaccine. Staff members are expecting to receive a delivery later in the week.
Without insurance, prices range from $12.49 to $29.99, and not all pharmacies will be administering the vaccine to children. Call the business (click on the link to visit the store's Directory page, where phone numbers are listed) for specifics.

Memorial Day Ceremony to Honor Vietnam War Hero in Galveston After Being Added to The Wall
U.S. Army Specialist Charles Sabatier Fought for His Country and for Disabled Rights
GALVESTON ISLAND, Texas, May 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Galveston native Charles J. Sabatier will be honored in a Memorial Day ceremony at the Vietnam Memorial located at Moody Gardens. Sabatier, a Specialist in the United States Army will be enshrined as the 76th man to be killed in action during the Vietnam War from Galveston County. A Purple Heart recipient and tireless advocate for people with disabilities, Sabatier was honored in Washington May 8, 2011 when his name was added to the National Vietnam Memorial Wall. This addition was made "official" during the 2011 Annual Memorial Day Ceremony at The Wall when Sabatier's name was read aloud with the addition of four other soldiers.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120517/DC09542)
A 1964 graduate of Ball High School in Galveston, he attended college at Sam Houston State University prior to being drafted into the Army in 1966. In 1968, during the first TET Offensive, an intense North Vietnamese military campaign, Sabatier was pinned down in heavy crossfire when he heard the call of another soldier. Running across the swampy battlefield to help, he felt a bullet enter his back. The bullet severed his spinal cord. He returned from Vietnam paralyzed from the waist down. The barriers he encountered served as a motivation to dedicate his career with his wife Peggy Griffin to work for the dignity of people with disabilities.
Sabatier's work became national in scope as Assistant Advocacy Director of the Paralyzed Veterans of America. He then became the organization's Advocacy Director. Sabatier served as Assistant Director for the Massachusetts Office of Handicapped Affairs. He also worked as Executive Director/Commissioner for the Mayors Commission for Persons with Disabilities in Boston. He served in a number of other roles to help those with disabilities including the Paralyzed Veterans of America where he served as President of a Texas Chapter and Executive Director for the New England Paralyzed Veterans of America.
According to officials and family, Sabatier died directly from his combat injuries on June 11, 2009 at age 63. He was enrolled on the National Vietnam Wall Memorial in 2011 with four other soldiers. His memory will be celebrated at Moody Gardens on May 28 at 10:30 a.m. with a dedication ceremony at 10:30 a.m. His widow, Peggy Griffin, will be a featured speaker at the event. Friends, family, Ball High School 1964 classmates and citizens who wish to honor his sacrifice are invited to attend the event as Sabatier is welcomed home.
"It took Charlie five years to come back to Galveston after he was paralyzed. He was afraid of what people would think of him now that he used a wheelchair," said Peggy Griffin. "I think he would be humbled if he could see what was being done for him today. I know I am."

The Studio at Painful Pleasures isn't your standard piercing parlor. The 5,000-square-foot showroom has five fully furnished studios, each with their own TV and comfortable TatSoul chairs, as well as an educational center where they hold classes on piercing techniques. Hyperrealistic, ethereal, and vibrantly colored artwork designed by the in-house artists covers the walls—a testament to the detailed work they do. The team is also complemented by two resident tattoo-removal specialists who have mastered the art of buffing off unwanted images, such as the tally marks on your arm that remind you how old you are.
Dr. Dean Kane's pursuit of beauty has led him across the country and beyond. His specialized training in plastic surgery and medicine began at the University of Puerto Rico, then continued with residencies at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore and the University of Florida. Today, Dr. Kane shares his knowledge of plastic and reconstructive surgery techniques with up-and-coming doctors as a clinical professor at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and beautifies patients at his plastic-surgery practice.
From the moment clients enter the couch- and art-adorned waiting room to the time they grapple through the skylight, the attentive staff cater to them with personal attention. Before treatment⎯such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and Botox injections⎯clients consult with Dr. and Lauri Kane to ask questions about procedures as well as outline their beauty goals. Post-procedure, the clinical or operating-room nurse oversees patients through the entire recovery process.
Cosmetic Surgery Center of Maryland's board-certified surgeons boast expert specialties, using their skills to aesthetically improve clients with the least discomfort and downtime possible. The doctors' playbook of beautifying procedures transforms clients with breast reductions and augmentations, body contouring, and genital aesthetic surgeries. Offering both a surgical center and a med spa, Cosmetic Surgery Center of Maryland's staff can also lavish guests with noninvasive beauty treatments such as wrinkle-reducing Botox, Dysport, and chemical peels. The modern treatment center's waiting room and reception greets patients with earth-hued walls festooned with paintings and track lighting.
At Artistry in Plastic Surgery, Dr. Brent Birely uses a combination of medical know-how and artistic talent to transform patients' exteriors. As a physician who is board certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc. and has been practicing for more than 15 years, Dr. Birely has the expertise to perform complex procedures such as breast augmentations, breast lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, face-lifts, and eyelid enhancements. He also possesses a keen eye for symmetry and proportion and a knack for paying meticulous attention to detail—talents that come in handy during nonsurgical treatments. He can diminish scars and uneven skin tone with a laser skin-resurfacing session or target fine lines and wrinkles with cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers. Additionally, Dr. Birely's team specializes in advanced skincare services, which range from dermaplaning and microdermabrasion to chemical peels and medical-grade facials.
At The Plastic Surgery Center of Maryland, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg and Dr. Michele Shermak de-crinkle visages with minimally invasive Dysport injections administered during an approximately 15-minute procedure. The Dysport formula works by temporarily relaxing subdermal muscles, which unclenches wrinkles to reduce the appearance of forehead furrows and frown lines caused by watching kittens slip on banana peels. The quick and nearly painless injections require no downtime, and allow newly ironed-out patients to resume normal activity with minimal delay.
The professional staff at Aesthetic Laser and Vein Center specializes in laser and other light-based beautification treatments, such as spider-vein removal. By employing epidermis-friendly photons, an expert team of vein vanguards eradicates skin squiggles to ensure each guest has a pair of legs that won't be continuously mistaken for misplaced silly string. Those seeking a laser-less procedure can opt for sclerotherapy, which uses a tiny needle to infuse a solution that causes spider and varicose veins to be absorbed by the body. Generally, sidewalk stompers begin to resemble their younger, unblemished selves within three–six weeks.
Acclaimed surgeon Dr. Craig Person's skilled hands change looks and lives. Doubly board-certified in plastic and hand surgery, he specializes in transforming clients' appearances with procedures including lifts, augmentations, and enhancements. Nonsurgical alternatives, using injections of products such as Botox and Juvéderm, work to ease the wrinkles accumulated after years of frowning at riddles. Dr. Person also partners with a skincare professional, who consults with patients and provides skin-smoothing treatments.
