Gregoire and Secretary of State Sam Reed certified the election on Wednesday afternoon, as they were joined by couples who plan to wed. The law doesn't take effect until Thursday, when gay and lesbian couples can start picking up their wedding certificates and licenses at county auditors' offices. King County, the state's largest and home to Seattle, and Thurston County, home to the state capital of Olympia, will open the earliest, at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, to issue marriage licenses.
Because the state has a three-day waiting period, the earliest that weddings can take place is Sunday. Same-sex couples who previously were married in another state that allows gay marriage, like Massachusetts, will not have to get remarried in Washington state. Their marriages will be valid here as soon as the law takes effect.
"This is a very important and historic day in the great state of Washington," Gregoire said before signing the measure that officially certified the election results. "For many years now we've said one more step, one more step. And this is our last step for marriage equality in the state of Washington."
Last month, Washington, Maine and Maryland became the first states to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote. They joined six other states - New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont - and the District of Columbia that had already enacted laws or issued court rulings permitting same-sex marriage.
Referendum 74 in Washington state had asked voters to either approve or reject the state law legalizing same-sex marriage that legislators passed earlier this year. That law was signed by Gregoire in February but was put on hold pending the outcome of the election. Nearly 54 percent of voters approved the measure.
The law doesn't require religious organizations or churches to perform marriages, and it doesn't subject churches to penalties if they don't marry gay or lesbian couples.
Maryland's law officially takes effect Jan. 1, however couples can start picking up marriage licenses on Thursday, as long as the license has an effective date of Jan. 1. Whether clerks of court issue a postdated license is up to them, however. They are not required to do so. Maine's law takes effect on Dec. 29. There's no waiting period in Maine, and people can start marrying just after midnight.
In addition to private ceremonies that will start taking place across Washington state this weekend, Seattle City Hall will open for several hours on Sunday, and several local judges are donating their time to marry couples. Aaron Pickus, a spokesman for Mayor Mike McGinn, said that more than 140 couples have registered to get married at City Hall, and weddings will begin at 10 a.m.
Washington state has had a domestic partnership law in place since 2007. The initial law granted couples about two dozen rights, including hospital visitation and inheritance rights when there is no will. It was expanded a year later, and then again in 2009, when lawmakers completed the package with the so-called "everything but marriage" law that was ultimately upheld by voters later that year.
This year, lawmakers passed the law allowing gay marriage, and Gregoire signed it in February. Opponents gathered enough signatures for a referendum, putting the law on hold before it could take effect.
There are nearly 10,000 domestic partnership registrations with the secretary of state's office. Most same-sex domestic partnerships that aren't ended prior to June 30, 2014, automatically become marriages, unless one of the partners is 62 or older.
That provision was included in the state's first domestic partnership law of 2007 to help heterosexual seniors who don't remarry out of fear they could lose certain pension or Social Security benefits.

Intel plans to talk about its future technology and product plans at Computex, but doesn't have any big surprises lined up for the Taiwanese hardware show, which opened Tuesday.
One of the biggest announcements that Intel has planned concerns a new thermal "technology concept" called Canoe Lake, which Intel says will enable hardware makers to build very thin netbooks. But executives aren't offering much insight into how the technology works.
"I would rather not get into the details of the technology itself. It is a thermal technology that is an innovative way of extracting heat from the box, which then enables the form factor of the device to become much thinner," said Matthew Parker, general manager of Intel's Atom client division.
Canoe Lake is designed to let hardware makers build thin netbooks using Atom chips that require a fan to dissipate excess heat that the chip produces. While Intel plans to show a thin netbook concept design to illustrate how the technology could be used, Canoe Lake won't be appearing in prototypes from other companies -- a sign that commercial products based on the technology are not imminent.
"There is significant interest in the industry in this technology but we won't be announcing any partnership or OEM design wins at Computex," Parker said.
In addition to Canoe Lake, Intel will also announce a netbook variant of its recently announced Moorestown version of the Atom. Called Oak Trail, the Moorestown variant adds support for additional I/O technologies found in PCs, but is otherwise comparable to the Moorestown platform, which is designed for handheld devices.
Most of what Intel plans to show at Computex has already been seen elsewhere. For example, the dual-core Atom chips for laptops discussed during the company's recent investor conference will figure prominently at the show, likely appearing in systems from a range of Taiwanese hardware makers. As expected, these chips will offer support for DDR3 memory, which is rapidly becoming the standard memory type found in PCs.
The Atom N455 and N475 are available starting June 1 and the D525 and D425, which bring DDR3 support to desktop PCs will be available on June 21, Intel said.
Dual-core Atom chips for netbooks represent a subtle shift in strategy for Intel. For the last two years, the company has said single-core Atom chips offer enough processing power for netbooks, which the chip maker says aren't meant to handle processor-intensive applications anyway. In addition, dual-core chips generally consume more than single-core variants.
Until now, Intel has only offered a dual-core version of Atom for desktops. But the company said the dual-core chips will give netbooks a needed boost in performance.
"As the web content and the browser content becomes richer, the dual-core will bring a better experience when enjoying rich content or multiple windows," Parker said.
That might help boost Atom sales, which have slipped as a percentage of overall processor shipments even as wider demand for PCs grows. During the first quarter, Atom's share of the processor market fell four points, from 24 percent to 20 percent, compared to the previous quarter, IDC said, noting that overall processor shipments rose 4.1 percent during the period.
The dual-core Atom processor could also help fend off growing competition from Advanced Micro Devices, which showed off two new Acer netbooks based on its chips at the recent Cannes International Film Festival. While netbooks have typically been designed to run basic computing tasks, AMD has focused on bringing more computing power and graphics performance to the machines.
"Our OEM partners challenged us to enable a netbook form factor that provided an uncompromised Web and [high-definition video] experience, and one that could run many popular consumer applications," Nigel Dessau, AMD's senior vice president and chief marketing officer wrote in a recent blog entry.
"Acer and Asus in particular asked us to enable a netbook that could be a real alternative to what is currently available in the market," he wrote.

The Young Brothers
Young's Buggies at 57 years
by Buckley Jensen
In 1953, when the first uranium boom was in its infancy, Clyn P. Young of Monticello decided to try to make "mucking" (getting the blasted ore out) mines easier. Up until then, mining uranium was a matter of wheeling ore out by hand in a wheelbarrow, using donkeys to pull it out, or building iron rails and using small ore cars. All were slow, labor intensive and expensive.
Clyn went to a junkyard and salvaged parts from a ¾-ton wrecked truck and built what he called his first shuttle truck. It was built lower and more compact than an ordinary truck so it would operate inside the narrow confines of mines in those early days. His prototype went into service in l953.
Clyn showed his idea to his brother Darroll. Darroll, whose career up until then was with the U. S. Indian Service, was impressed. He and his wife Leda decided to move to Monticello and go into partnership with Clyn and Norma to build more shuttles. They also wanted better schools for their two young sons, Wayne and Craig.
On May 1, 1953 these two couples each put up $1,500 and formed a company which they called the Young's Machine Company, or YMCO. They operated out of a small shop leased from Lloyd Barton at what is today 235 West Center in Monticello.
Getting their shuttle business off the ground proved much more daunting that they had expected. To take up the slack and keep food on the tables, they created a machine repair shop. Local farmers and truckers soon kept them busy almost full time.
In l954, the uranium boom in San Juan ramped up to the point that the demand for everything to do with uranium went through the roof. The Young's outgrew their shop in town and bought land north of Monticello. They constructed a 40' x 60' steel building and tried to find the time to build three different-sized shuttle buggies.
Trying to do everything was wearing them to a frazzle. In l955, they hired Arlow Freestone to come aboard with the responsibility of being office manager, bookkeeper and parts manager. Clyn and Darrol finally had time to work full time on designing and manufacturing their shuttle cars.
In l956 they brought Buckley Christensen on board as the full time parts manager.
Both Arlow and Buckley were great assets to the company. Buckley stayed for 35 years and eventually became a shareholder. Until Arlow became the administrator of the San Juan Hospital years later, he was an integral part of YMCO.
Demand continued to increase. The Young Brothers had to have help. Pat Butler was the first welder-mechanic they hired in l956. The same year they hired Julius and James Harvey, E.J and Leonard Bartell, Wayne Rasmussen, David Carhart, David Miller, Darrell and Kent Rogers, Keith Taylor, and Grant Bayles, who were all competent welders and willing workers. Wesley Norton came on board also and was the expert on the lathes.
In l957, two milestones occurred. First, Clyn and Darroll's brother Jack (Gerold K) joined the company as a full partner. Jack had worked for a steel fabrication company in Salt Lake City and he had expertise in areas sorely needed to build a better product. The other milestone was getting an original equipment manufacturer contract with the giant Deutz company in Germany. Deutz made air-cooled diesel engines and other equipment.
With the Deutz connection, Young's were not only able to build shuttle buggies of higher quality, but they branched out into other lines of equipment like hoists, water pumps, electric generators and air compressors.
The company continued to grow and expand. Between the three partners, they had 11 sons, all of whom were under the age of 16 when the company was formed. These boys were taught to work and many of them learned highly-skilled trades from an ever growing number of skilled employees and their fathers mentoring them.
At age 16, each of the sons became employed in the business, and had the option to stay with the company when the graduated from high school or college.
YMCO continued to grow and prosper through the 1960s and '70s. The shuttle cars became world renowned. They shipped finished products all over the world, including Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Spain, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia. YMCO contracted with Eimco in Salt Lake for world-wide distribution rights. Eimco added many more nations to the customer list, including France, Australia and Peru.
In l971, tragedy struck. Clyn was working on a truck when the heavy cab he was working under fell and crushed him. Darroll and Jack carried on, despite the huge hole left by Clyn's passing.
In the l980's, the surviving brothers purchased and tore down two large Armco steel buildings in Mexican Hat. They hauled them piece by piece to Monticello and reconstructed them. The manufacturing space tripled. This addition made them the largest private manufacturing facility in southeast Utah. Today, the YMCO complex on the hill north of Monticello has 23,000 square feet of manufacturing space under roof.
The uranium industry has been very cyclical throughout the history of YMCO. The founding brothers had their mechanical repair and custom steel fabrication businesses to fall back on in hard times. There have been wild swings in the number of employees the company has had, ranging from 160 employees working two shifts in the 1970's to fewer than 15 during the most severe down cycles. But they have been open for business every day for 57 years, and they are today the oldest privately held family business in San Juan County.
To survive the hard times, and keep as many valued skilled workers on the payroll, YMCO expanded into concrete, tunneling contracts and other ventures. However, the focus has always been to manufacture the finest mining shuttle cars anywhere and repair broken machinery for area farmers and truckers.
Darroll said that on many occasions, "no-one will ever know the challenges that we faced trying to build something as large and complicated as a shuttle car assembly line from scratch in a location hundreds of miles from the nearest suppliers and customers."
It often took months to get parts and supplies to Monticello from Germany or other far-flung places. Air freight for heavy diesel engines was simply prohibitive. Slow boats across the Atlantic and trains from the east coast took as long as six months. For many years, Garrett Freight was the only way to transport supplies from Salt Lake City or other areas. Convincing potential customers from around the world to drive to Monticello to see their products was also a challenge, since major airports were all at least 300 miles away.
In l972, the State of Utah presented YMCO with the Utah State Small Business Excellence award. Many state and national awards have followed, including the U. S. Small Business Administration's Exporter of the Year Award in l999 and the Utah State Global Achievement Award on May 23, 2000.
Darroll Young retired in 1975 and has passed away. Jack (Gerold) has been retired for several years, and at age 87 still lives near the business and checks in often to make sure his sons, Gary (president) Jack (vice-president and Steve (Secretary-Treasurer) are maintaining the standards set by their father and uncles.
YMCO today is vibrant. The last two years, according to the three owners, have been the best years in company history. They are probably the largest private employer in San Juan County. They pay wages far above the county average to compete partly to compete with the mines, but mostly because their employees are all highly skilled in their respective specialties.
YMCO's 2009 "Young Buggies", as they are called, cost $160,000 for the small seven-ton model and go up to $290,000 for the largest 15-ton model. The Pandora mine near La Sal has purchased nine new "Young Buggies" in the last year.
Since Clyn's first home-made buggy 57 years ago, which sold for a few hundred dollars, YMCO has manufactured more than 2,000 "Young Buggies;" many of them custom built. The benefits that have accrued to Monticello and the entire county in high paying wages and one-of-a-kind services are difficult to measure.
Today, the second generation Young Brothers are constantly tweaking and improving their products as the requirements of 21st century mining require. And as the world demand for U-238 soars, YMCO's best days may be ahead of them.
To the three founding fathers of YMCO, Clyn, Darroll and Jack (Gerold) Young, and their loyal wives (Norma, Leda and Beth), who together faced and overcame enormous challenges associated with building world-class mining equipment alone in the desert, we salute you. It goes without saying. You are GIANTS in San Juan County.

After years of shining the spotlight on our city's unique eclectic style, Montreal Fashion Week recently celebrated its 21st anniversary. From September 6th to the 9th, fashion lovers flocked to the Mecca of all things fabulous, as runway shows were held in the Old Port at the stunning Marché Bonsecours.
Organized by Sensation Mode, the event gave us a sneak peak into the most exciting trends for the upcoming seasons, as Canada's brightest and most promising designers showed off their talents.
Denis Gagnon, Philippe Dubuc, Marie Saint Pierre, Barilà, Travis Taddeo, Cluc, Dimitri Chris, Simon Chang, Annie 50, Anomal Couture, Soïa & Kyo, Anastasia Lomonova, Andrew Floyd, Dinh Bà Design, Mélissa Nepton, Iris Setlawke, Label Europe, and Duy (among others) all presented their Spring/Summer 2012 collections.
Of course, the front row and post-show VIP lounges were the stomping grounds for Montreal's fashion elite.
Spotted? Denis Gagnon himself, sitting pretty in his high drama black frames at Travis Taddeo (the Lasalle College grad's collection was all about stylish feathers, fantastic capes, distressed denim, black leather, and transparent blouses).
Denis Binet was also surrounded by hot young fashion things. The consulting stylist for Pantene Pro –V and his team were busy doing hair backstage.
The runway shows were all breathtaking and the event's energy, even more so. Everywhere you turned there were daring outfits, free-flowing bubbly, gazelle legs, and flashing lights. There is no doubt that when Montreal does fashion, they do it right.
Check out Fashion Magazine's video coverage of the most highly anticipated runway collections.

Now that British rule has been brought to an end, the opponents of Ahmadiyyat have invented a new charge that the Ahmadis are the agents of Israel.
In this context it is worthy of note that the first voice raised against the establishment of Israel was the voice of the Ahmadiyya Community, yet its opponents feel no compunction in charging it with being the agents of Israel. When the question of Palestine was raised in the United Nations, Chaudhry Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, a devoted Ahmadi, was enabled by divine grace to deliver a powerful speech on 9 October 1947 in the Committee of the United Nations Assembly that was dealing with the problem, in which he put forward the case of the Palestine Arabs with great ability. The Nawai Waqt of October 12 1947 commented:
The special correspondence of Reuter has reported that after the speech of Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, the Pakistani delegate, the Committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations dealing with the question has been confronted with an awkward situation. Till the delegation of the United States declares its position with reference to the problem, other delegations are not prepared to speak. The United States delegate is not ready to speak till President Truman and the Secretary of State, Mr. George Marshall, and the U.S. delegation itself agree upon a united stand. The Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Herbert Evatt, of Australia, expressed his uneasiness at the debate appearing to have arrived prematurely at its end. The U.S. delegate remained sitting silent as if his lips had been sealed. Such a situation is unprecedented in the United Nations. The Pakistani delegate expressed the view of other delegations when in his annoyance he suggested that as leading delegates were reluctant to speak the general debate on the question of Palestine might be closed.
The same organ wrote:
The speech delivered by Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, leader of the Pakistan delegation, in the Committee of the UN General Assembly on the question of Palestine was most outstanding in every respect. He spoke for one hundred and fifteen minutes. When he finished his speech an Arab representative said that this was the best speech on the case of the Arabs and that he had not so far heard any such outstanding statement of their case.
Muhammad Zafrulla Khan devoted the greater part of his speech to arguing against the partition of Palestine. During the course of his speech the faces of Arab representatives shone with pleasure. At the end of the speech the delegates of Arab countnes shook him by the hand and felicitated him on his glorious speech. A British delegate sent a message to Zafrulla Khan that his speech was outstanding and that he would request to be furnished with a copy of it so that he might study it with great care.
This historic speech of Ch. Muhammad Zafrulla Khan presented the true aspects of the problem of Palestine before the United Nations and the delegations of several member countries made up their minds in pursuance of it to vote against the partition of Palestine, but thereafter some of them changed their minds under pressure from the great powers.
On 9 December 1947, Ch. Muhammad Zafrulla Khan delivered an address on the subject of Palestine in the Government College Lahore which was reported in the Nawai Waqt of 11 December in the following terms:
Ch. Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, leader of the Pakistan delegation to the Assembly of the United Nations, spoke at length on all aspects of the problem of Palestine. He condemned the resolution of the UN General Assembly recommending the partition of Palestine as entirely unjust. Speaking at the Government College Lahore, he expressed great regret that the United States Government procured the recommendation of the United Nations in support of the partition of Palestine by exercising undue pressure on some of the small Powers, members of the United Nations. He said that Palestine had been made a pawn in the election politics of the United States. He pointed out that in the proposed Jewish State to be set up in Palestine, not only will a large Arab minority be subjected to Jewish domination but the economy of the country will pass under international control which would be an illegal development.
He explained that on 26 November it was certain that the resolution could not be carried and its supporters were convinced that it would be defeated) but that at the last moment the voting was unnecessarily postponed to 28 November so that pressure could be exercised on some of the member states that they should give up their opposition to the resolution and vote in support of it. He mentioned that on 28 November the representative of Haiti met him after the voting and with tears literally running down his cheeks made his apology that he had not been left free to vote in accordance with his original instructions. Several other delegates confessed that they had been compelled to vote in support of the resolution under great pressure.
In view of the powerful advocacy of the Arab cause by Ch. Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, not only on this occasion but on every occasion when the question was subsequently raised in the United Nations, can any just person charge the Ahmadiyya Community with being the agents of Israel?
The problem of Palestine entered on a new phase after 1 December 1947 when, through the joint efforts of the United States and the USSR, the General Assembly most unjustly adopted its resolution recommending partition of Palestine. Hazrat Mirza Bashirud Din Mahmud Ahmad Sahib, Khalifatul Masih II, Head of the Ahmadiyya Movement, wrote two strong articles revealing the background of the partition of Palestine. The first of these was published on 28 November and the second on 11 December 1947. In these articles he established clearly that Jewish settlement in Palestine had been carried out under a conspiracy to which the USSR, USA and Britain were parties. He pointed out that these great powers appeared to be opposed to each other in pursuit of their political objectives but that they were united in their hostility towards the Muslims and that they had no sympathy with the Arabs and Muslims. He urged the Muslims to stand upon their own legs and that they should put forth every effort to do so.
These revolutionary articles of Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II made a great stir in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and other Arab Countries. 'The Syrian radio broadcast a special summary of them and thus conveyed their purport to all corners of the Arab world. Leading Arab newspapers like the Al-Yaum, Al-Akhbar, Al-Qabas, Al-Nasr, Sautul Ahrar and AI-Urdon etc. published extracts of these articles and unanimously praised and upheld the stand of the writer.
In June 1948 Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II delivered an address in Lahore in which he strongly urged the Muslims to unite so as to rescue Palestine from the grip of the Zionists. With reference to this address the AI-Shura of Baghdad in its issue of i8 June 1948 observed:
An address by Mirza Mahmud Ahmad We have received a tract which has been published in Baghdad in which a powerful address off Hazrat Mirza Mahmud Ahmad, Head of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Qadian, is set out which he delivered in Lahore after the setting up of the so-called State of Israel. This address is captioned 'The disbelievers are all one community'. We appreciate the Islamic indignation and Islamic efforts of the people who have published this very useful tract.

This address is captioned 'The disbelievers are all one community'. We appreciate the Islamic indignation and Islamic efforts of the people who have published this very useful tract.
The AI-Nahzah of 12 July 1948 wrote:
We have received a tract which comprises an address of Al-Syed Mirza Mahmud Ahmad Sahib which he delivered in Lahore. In this address he has urged the Muslims to unite and has drawn attention to the need of solid and effective efforts towards rescuing Palestine from the grip of Zionist criminals and has asked the people of Pakistan to render immediate help to the Palestine Arabs. Reminding the Muslims of their common allegiance to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and arguing from verses of the Holy Quran the speaker has urged them to organize themselves to with-stand the onsets of the Zionist criminals who are being supported by the United States and Communist Russia in pursuance of their interests and special purposes. He has asked the Muslims not to display weakness or distress, but to keep in mind their obligations of Jihad for the upholding of Islam and Muslims.
This is a passing glimpse of the great effort that the Head of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih II and the devoted member of the Ahmadiyya Movement, Ch. Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, put forth in opposing the setting up of the State of Israel. Indeed the truth is that except the Ahmadiyya Community no one else did any solid work in this sphere. Yet, instead of appreciating this effort, our Pakistani Muslim brethren have charged us with being the agents of Israel. Is this Islamic justice? How will these people face God?
in this context one argument that is put forward by our opponents is that as the Ahmadiyya Movement maintains a missionary center in Israel, the Ahmadis are agents of Israel. If this has any substance in it then it is not only the Ahmadis who are to be blamed. Even today in Israel there are several hundred thousands of Muslims. They would also have to be declared agents of Israel. Then there are several Christian missions that are active in Israel. They will also have to be denounced as agents of Israel. The number of Ahmadis in Israel is very small in comparison with the number of Christians and other Muslims in Israel.
The fact is that the Ahmadiyya Mission in Palestine was established before the coming into existence of the State of Israel. At the time of partition it was decided by the Ahmadiyya Movement to continue its mission in Israel for the propagation of Islam and the education and training of the Palestinian Ahmadis who had been left in Israel along with other Muslims. The Ahmadis believe that it would be difficult to resolve the problem of Palestine satisfactorily in the end without converting all the Jews to Islam. Besides, it is the duty of all Muslims to present the message of Islam to every non-Muslim. In respect of the non-Muslim population of Palestine, the Ahmadis alone are discharging this obligation. The Holy Quran and the ahadees nowhere forbid inviting the Jews to accept Islam or lay down that Muslims should not enter their territory for the purpose of informing them of the excellencies of Islam. It should be remembered that Islam is a universal faith and its message is addressed to all mankind alike. Under the directions of the Holy Quran, the Ahmadiyya Community carries out its obligation of propagating Islam all round the world including the State of Israel. This cannot be open to any objection.
The Holy Prophet, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, addressed letters to Christian rulers, inviting them to accept Islam. He sent a delegation of Muslims to Ethiopia and directed them to settle there and carry on the propagation of Islam. The Ahmadiyya Community is following in the footsteps of its master, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. If for doing this they are described as disloyal and agents of the enemies of Islam they entertain no grievance about it.

Today, we have introduced a full feature dive calendar. You can search by region, species, and time of the year to quickly identify where the special diving event you've always wanted to see is taking place. It is also integrated into the destinations pages and location detail pages. Even better, you can add any events you know we should also include. |
01-Mar-2007: |
When we introduced the Google Maps into the Geo Search tool, we lost the overall listing of all locations in Big Blue Planet. Instead we have now replaced it with a more sophisticated drill down hierarchy which is accessible from the Navigation bar on any page, just look for the "Destinations" menu item. As well as including integrated summary maps, and descriptions for the regions and countries (when they get written!), you also get a summary of useful information for each country, such as currency convertors, phone dialing codes, electricity, languages and religions etc. |
22-Feb-2007: |
We've just launched an integrated on-line forum system into Big Blue Planet. The forums are open to browse and search but you must be a My Blue Planet user to edit and post topics. The forums are also integrated into the global free search tool on the site, now if you search for a free text word using the search box at the top of any page, the search routine will also look through forum postings for any that may be relevant. |

Happy New Year! We've just added a load more enhancements to the way photos are displayed and ranked on Big Blue Planet. Now you have the option of filtering the lists by the photographer and more easily getting access to photos that have not yet been voted on. We also found a few isolated cases where inappropriate voting practices were taking place to try and influence the standing of particular photographers photos. We've implemented some sophisticated ranking improvements to weed out these obvious cases and have also provided more info on how many kinds of votes a particular photo has received (just hover your mouse over the word Rank against any photo). So if you have not yet voted on the photos shared by others why not give it a go - just click on the stars! Or if you would like to join in, register as a My Blue Planet user, get your free 5Mb photo gallery and start sharing your own masterpieces! As well as the photos, the top diver award now has it's own dedicated page showcasing the whole list with details on where everyone has dived. All you have to do to get on this list is register as a My Blue Planet user and then leave at least 2 reviews about two distinct locations you have dived. |

Today we have added a new feature to every location page on the site - a carbon calculator! Now, you can answer some simple questions and easily see what impact your last (or next) holiday could have on carbon emissions. It takes into account flights, air fills, and boat trips to give an overall carbon emission per holiday. From using it, it quickly becomes obvious that the biggest impacts come from long haul flights to those far flung destinations. As a sport (air fills and boat trips), scuba diving does not have a huge impact on our day to day carbon emissions! We've also included a link to Climate Care, one of the best Carbon offsetting services we have seen. By investing in their carbon reducing projects we can repair the damage we have done by going on scuba holidays and hopefully make sure that the coral reefs stay around for a little bit longer! On a personal note, we have just come back from a recent trip to the Maldives, so have just used their service to offset 5 tonnes of CO2! |

Based on an excellent suggestion from Pat (the one and only Sushi!) we have just integrated a site wide deep search tool into Big Blue Planet. This has turned out to be an awesome addition to the site as you can now do free text searching across all the reviews, names, descriptions, and other content that is being added every day by other divers. If you put in "Manta" or Dolphin you will be amazed at what comes back. One tip is that you can't use quotes to create a phrase but you can force all the words to be there by putting a + sign in front. You can also exclude words by putting a - sign in front so: +manta +rays +maldives should bring back articles and reviews about diving with manta rays in the Maldives. Unfortunately the words have to be over 4 characters long (which is bit of a problem if you are searching for places like Yap!) but it does make it massively easier to track specific things down in the site. |
26-May-2006: |
My Blue Planet goes live today! My Blue Planet is a very exciting set of new personal content areas that are designed just for you. You can use it to store and share your holiday photos, track how global a diver you are, keep a wish list of future diving holiday locations, or even find a buddy for your next dive. For more info on the new functionality you can access click here. Just like Big Blue Planet, the access to My Blue Planet is free and will remain so. We need you to register as we need to remember who you are from visit to visit but you do not need to provide any personal info except for your email name and chosen user name (nick name). We also guarantee that your email name will not be given or sold to anyone else and we will definately not SPAM you. Please note that we assume you do NOT want to belong to the My Blue Planet Newsletter unless you specifically ask to join - so please look out for that option in your profile if you would like to receive our Newsletter. We plan to issue a newsletter every 3 months to start with as we'd like them to be high quality with lot's of useful information about holidays and the locations you can visit. The first one should be coming out around the end of July. If you can think of any subjects you would like us to include then please get in touch. |
22-Apr-2006: |
My Blue Planet is nearing completion, another month and we will be adding in two new content areas where you can get a free 5Mb photo gallery, and use our Buddy Finder to locate buddies around the globe - if you want to go diving in a new location and need a buddy. In the meantime we have also done a complete redesign of the site and built a completely new homepage to showcase some of the depths of the data that Big Blue Planet now contains. We hope you like it. My Blue Planet will be launched in just over a month, however, if you want to know the moment it is available you can ask us to tell you. |

It's been some time since the last update mainly due to a couple of reasons: The first is that we got a little side tracked by the Dive Show in October and had to put on our Dive-Logs hats to be able to concentrate on making that a success. That's all done now and it was another great year as we got to meet our customers face to face! The second reason is that the Wreck Database has taken us ages to complete. We have spent weeks researching all the different wrecks because we wanted to make it really stand out. So far there are 200 wrecks in there and it covers most dive locations. We know that we have missed some out (sometimes due to lack of information) so if you think we should add one, please get in touch and tell us all about it so we can add it in. The wreck search page is now up and running and here you can use the interactive map and search options to narrow down the list of wrecks. We have also integrated the data into each location page with a new wrecks section just below the review sections. You'll also find you can leave a quick mini review about the wrecks you have dived on, so if you can spare the time, please leave some. All the reviews will go towards creating the Wrecks "Best Of" rankings! Finally, just as an update, the visitor numbers are now up to 43,000 visitors to the site and the numbers are increasing every month! Next for us is a whole new section called My Blue Planet... |
02-Aug-2005: |
We've just added a whole new listing section to the location information set: Resorts / Hotels. Now any hotel or diving resort that wants to be listed on Big Blue Planet just needs to add their details. If you are a dive centre that also happens to have accomodation on site that you own then it probably still makes sense to be listed in the Dive Centre section only (but make sure you indicate that you can arrange accomodation). However, if you have a nearby resort or hotel that you partner with, make sure they know they can now add themselves to this new section. As well we've also included two new rankings into the review section. Child Friendliness and Disability Friendliness of both Dive Centres and Hotels/Resorts. We recommend that rankings are only done by divers with families, or divers with disabilities, and that most of us should stick to "No Opinion". This should make the data more meaningful and helpful to the divers who actually need that information. |

A new search tool has just been added that is the first of its kind in the world. Click on the Global Water Temp Search at the top of the page to access it. Big Blue Planet contains literally tens of thousands of water temperature data points for all the world's oceans. We know the temperature in 1 kilometer grid squares anywhere in the world. We know the temperature at the surface and at depth and have it broken down by each month. All the data came from the National Ocean Data Centre and is used to create the graphs on each location detail page. This new search tool allows you to access this data geographically on an interactive map system. Now you can easily zoom in and out to different areas of the world and see how the temperature changes through the year. All the locations in Big Blue Planet are listed in descending warmth below the map. We hope you like it. Updates from the weblogs show that since the start we have now had 14,000 visitors to the website and loads of people are leaving reviews and adding locations (now up past 400!). Please keep them coming! Lots of people have asked what a location needs to be added to the database. The most important thing is the ability of a diver to turn up, hire gear and be guided round the dives. Basically this means there must be a dive centre based there. Big Blue Planet is all about diving when on holiday so local dive club sites that are only really used by the dive club should not really be added. In the next few weeks we'll be adding some extra optional questions to the review process (based on some feedback from Deirdre) that will capture how child friendly a location is and how well equiped the dive centre was for disabled access. We'll also be creating a new streamlined way for you to contact the dive centres directly to ask about bookings and general information. Then we'll focus on installing a wreck database... |

We've just added a set of licensed images to enhance the marine life sightings section. Now as you roll your mouse over a fish name, a box will pop up with a picture of that species if we have one on record. This is in addition to being able to click on a name for more detailed information about that species! All the marine pictures are coming from our friends at Seven Seas Explorer (for more info click here), and we are having to add them slowly, so don't be surprised if the pictures are sparse to begin with! We'll be trying to increase the range as quickly as we can! A quick update on the numbers as well, since we started just over a month ago, over 120 (!) new dive locations have been added by dive centres and divers. This means Big Blue Planet is almost 50% bigger after just one month. We also have thousands of reviews in the system that are making the visibility and marine sighting charts really excellant. Dive Site lists are being developed as people identify which were their favourite. The web logs show that we have had over 6000 unique visitors who have taken a look around with a lot of them helping to make Big Blue Planet better by contributing their experience. We want to say thank you for all your comments and support emails! But more importantly we appreciate all the time you are taking to browse around, add information to help other divers, and letting others know about this new resource. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working on a new interactive search tool based around the ocean water temperatures... |

Well, the Scuba show was amazing, we managed to meet up with a lot of our customers as well as spread the word about Big Blue Planet. And Big Blue Planet is looking great! Over the last week we've had an extra 70 dive locations added as well as loads of reviews and lots of dive centres registering. The visibility and marine information charts and graphs are really starting to look good. Tomorrow we are going to get in touch with our opt-in customers from Dive-Logs and ask for their help... |

Today we (Dive-Logs) are getting ready to exhibit at the California Scuba Show this weekend. For every brochure we hand out we will be also including a small postcard on Big Blue Planet. This is the first big exposure we are able to arrange and we are all really excited at getting some direct feedback, plus hopefully getting some more information into the system. Since we launched just over a week ago we have already had a couple of new locations added to the database as well as some reviews and dive centres registered. |
10-May-2005: |
Today we launched Big Blue Planet! We preloaded 257 dive locations that are the most common, with all the temperature data and precise geographical locations. We've loaded in 60 main common marine species for encounters and have the geographical and advanced search tools working. It is also possible to edit location descriptions, add reviews, register a dive centre, register a travel agent, and add website links. We now just need dive centres and divers to add reviews and content. Fingers crossed... |

"The Tonight Show" is a cultural bellwether, so when its studio audience roars its approval at Senator Ted Cruz's (R-TX) quip that Obamacare is "the biggest job killer in this country," you know something's happening across our land.
The truth is now gushing out on the President's signature legislation, which has become a late-night punchline that not even reliably liberal "Saturday Night Live" or Jon Stewart can keep from satirizing. The fact that fewer than 27,000 people "selected" plans—but didn't necessarily buy them—on HealthCare.gov in five and a half weeks tells a tale in itself. (We had a little fun with it here.)
Conservatives who sought to defund this law can take pride in taking a stand that is looking better and better with each passing day—one that will not be forgotten. Progressives who shut down the government because they would not compromise are, on the other hand, looking over their shoulders and taking arrows, even from the left.
This is why the President's approval ratings are at an all-time low, according to an impartial Quinnipiac poll released this week. It said that only 36 percent approve of the President's job on health care; 38 percent on foreign policy; 32 percent on the economy; and 35 percent on immigration. By a margin of 52 percent to 44 percent, Americans say their President is a dishonest man.
Late-night comedians notwithstanding, Obamacare isn't funny to the millions losing their insurance after being repeatedly reassured by the President that "if you like your present insurance you can keep it. Period." For many of those losing their coverage, the options they have are anything but cheap.
It is even less funny that this lie was essential to passage of the law. Obamacare squeezed through on the narrowest of margins—no Republican voted for it, and Senate rules had to be twisted—and the bill would have died had President Obama spoken the truth and said "millions will lose their insurance coverage."
It also isn't funny to those who are seeing their premiums go up. According to Heritage researcher Drew Gonshorowski, premiums are going to increase for individuals buying insurance in the exchanges in at least 42 of 47 states.
In fact, health care costs will rise across the board. As Bob Moffit, a Senior Fellow for Health Policy Studies at Heritage, has said, "No matter how you look at this, health care costs both for individuals and for the country as a whole are going to increase." There are many reasons for this, as Moffit mentioned—namely, 18 new tax hikes, $1.8 trillion in new health care entitlement spending, and new benefit mandates.
And the worst part, of course, is what Obamacare will do to our national psyche, how it will affect the relationship between government and the governed. None other than V.I. Lenin said that "medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism." Lenin founded a communist empire that lasted 70 years. Lenin also said "a lie told often enough becomes the truth."
In other words, Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster for our country. This is why it would have been better to defund it before it took the toll that it is already taking on so many American citizens.
The Heritage Foundation and its sister organization Heritage Action took the lead this fall in bringing these truths home to Americans, and I'm so proud of them.
When this law passed on March 22, 2010, I wrote in this space that Heritage would fight with all its might to repeal Obamacare:
I write to reassure our supporters, the conservative movement, and the American people at large that The Heritage Foundation will do all within its power to keep this issue alive in the public square and make the intellectual case for the repeal of this act. We will bring all our resources to bear on behalf of those who believe America is and will always remain the Land of the Free.
This remains as true as ever. I'm so glad that Jim DeMint, now at the helm, has decided to continue this fight.
