Four Foreign Climbers Found Dead On Georgia's Mount Ushba
Georgia's Interior Ministry says the bodies of four foreign mountain climbers have been found on Mount Ushba in the northwestern part of the country.
Authorities did not immediately release the identities of the dead mountain climbers, but said they included one Russian, one Estonian, and two Israeli citizens.
Rescuers who found the bodies early on August 6 reportedly loaded them into a helicopter that transported them to Tbilisi.
Kakha Jorjoliani, the head of the Mestia municipal government, said authorities suspect that the mountain climbers fell down a precipice and were killed instantly.

I think about my folks and my brother - and hanging out in a friend's backyard, with big spreads of food, and then walking to the public park to watch the fireworks.
And I think about watching fireworks on the beach with my own children, their eyes wide and lit up in wonder, staying up later than normal so as not to miss not a single burst.
However you spend tomorrow - yours truly will be working but thinking good thoughts about all those who aren't! - remember that these holidays help spark lifetime-long memories.
Enjoy, and please be safe. Keep this in mind: There are bans on fireworks, because of the heat, in cities and counties within 20 states; and fireworks are blamed for more than 15,000 fires and $36 million in property damage (2010 figures).
Tonight at 11, we look at the preps for tomorrow around the tri-state, and some of the fireworks shows happening tonight.
For a list of legal, public fireworks displays in our area, CLICK HERE: http://ow.ly/bYt98.
And if you have any cool pix of fireworks, we invite you to send them to us one of two ways - sign on to iwitness.7online.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Speaking of memories, we remember two people who impacted our lives. The first is Andy Griffith, the 86 year old actor who died today at his home in North Carolina. Griffith was a TV giant - playing a beloved small-town, single-father sheriff who tried to light a common sense path to getting along. And he starred as a guitar-playing, crime-solving homespun lawyer named Ben Matlock. Who didn't like Andy Griffith?
And we're remember former astronaut Alan Poindexter, who twice survived space travel on the space shuttle, died yesterday in a personal watercraft accident in Florida. And died in horrible fashion: He was run over by his oldest son. Poindexter was just 50.
We're also in Brooklyn tonight at 11, where demolition - by hand! - has begun on the five-story brownstone that partially collapsed yesterday, displacing several families. It's a piece-by-piece process that will likely take up to 2 weeks.
We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Amy Freeze (in for Lee Goldberg) with her holiday AccuWeather forecast, and Laura Behnke (in for Rob Powers) with the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa and me, tonight at 11.
One other note: I'll be working tomorrow, but this blog will take the day off. Have a great holiday.

text: A Yucca Valley home suffered significant damage from a fire Saturday evening. Shortly before 5 p.m., a neighbor called 911 after seeing smoke and flames coming from a bedroom window of a home in the 6400 block of Manzanita. Firefighters from Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Morongo Valley, and the Combat Center responded. The front bedroom where the smoke and flames were seen was completely destroyed; the rest of the home suffered significant smoke and heat damage. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Human precepts & teachings
"Fine sounding" (πιθανολογία, pithanologia) was a term used in philosophic discussions for arguments that lacked certainty. Weed suggests a meaning like the modern "fast talk."1 It had to do with persuasive speech, directed the wrong way. But it did sound good, which made it dangerous.
If a man does not have the truth, then he must seek to attract a following through the clever presentation of his message. That is exactly what heretics always do. They argue from probabilities and build a system of teaching on deductions. On the other hand, if a man is preaching the truth of God, then he does not need to depend on such things as eloquence or clever arguments. The truth is its own best argument and, like a lion, will defend itself. [2]
"Philosophy" here (2:8) does not refer to the study of basic questions concerning God, man, and the meaning of life but to speculations and ideas of false teachers not rooted in divine revelation.[3]
Elemental principles [of the world]
The word is also found in Col 2:20, and elsewhere in the New Testament in Gal 4:3, 9; Heb 5:12; 2 Pet 3:10, 12, but none of the New Testament usages gives a completely clear meaning applicable to this text.[4]
What does stoicheia mean here? O'Brien lists three major lines of interpretation.4 A first sees stoicheia as principles of religious instruction in the world prior to Christ, as if the heretics were returning to an immature stage of religion. A second considers the meaning to be the elements of the visible material world, and would argue the heresy tried to bind adherents to things of this world. The third, and most widely accepted view today, sees stoicheia as personal spiritual beings who would control access to God (in the heresy). They would be the same as the "powers and authorities" of 2:10, 15. In some way, then, the attempt was made to relate to these powers. It is objected that this view does not parallel "human tradition." One study (Wink) has argued that no case of this meaning for the term can be clearly documented before the third century a.d.5 However this does not prove the term could not have been used that way earlier.
The problem is a puzzling one. Paul was probably quoting the false teachers here. Whatever they meant, Paul's "of this world" with the earlier "human" makes their case a pitiful rival to Christ, as the following verses will powerfully demonstrate.
"Worship of angels" is generally understood as the praise directed to beings less than God. But Francis suggests the Greek is to be understood as the worship which angels themselves performed (subjective genitive) and he supports this from Jewish (non-biblical) literature. The meaning, then, would be an exalted experience in which the practitioners would either observe or participate in the angelic worship of God. This would be some type of visionary experience.

text: As someone who tanks on all four tanking classes at 85, happens to love tanking (even with the Cata growing pains), and has an average iLevel of 355 with none higher than 359, I have to say, I'm disappointed in this change. One of the funniest part of tanking was having to actually pay attention to save someone's ass if they got over-zealous or to catch the group of adds running in, or even dealing with struggling to keep aggro with that BA DK, hunter, or mage who were threat magnets in randoms. While I'm not going to outright condemn this change and call it the end of the world, I will simply say I find it disappointing. Besides the tanking aspect, I also DPS and heal (I've an 85 of every class in 344+ gear), now I have a greater chance of getting a bad tank because they don't know their class. The plus side to that is perhaps now even with a bad tank I can finish randoms on my DPS and healers without washing out because there's a fail tank. Hmm... I guess I'll wait and see and reserve judgment a few nights.

Chittorgarh, the pride and glory of valiant Rajputs, is one of the most fascinating cities of Rajasthan. Known as the city of Rajput bravery and sacrifice, Chittorgarh had been one of the most fiercely contested seats of power in India. Many beautiful forts and palaces; and legends and tales associated with heroism and sacrifices of the passionate Rajputs, make Chittorgarh a wonderful place to visit.
Following are some of the places to visit in Chittorgarh:
Chittorgarh Fort: One of the most formidable forts in India, Chittorgarh Fort is the symbol of the Rajput bravery and sacrifice. Set on a steep180 m high hill, the massive Chittorgarh Fort has seven gates to enter the main gate Rampol. While passing through the second and third gate you can see two chattris (cenotaphs) built to honor Jaimal and Patta, the two brave soldiers who died fighting the armies of Emperor Akbar during 1568 siege. The Fort houses many beautiful palaces like Rana Kumbha Palace, Padmini Palace and Fateh Prakash Palace.
Rana Kumbha Palace: A beautiful and massive monument inside the Chittorgarh Fort, the Rana Kumbha Palace is a ruined edifice of great historical and architectural interest. It is the place where queen Padmini committed Jauhar (self immolation) to protect her honor during the first seize of Chittorgarh by Alauddin Khilji.
Padmini Palace: Built beside a beautiful lotus pool with a historical pavilion, it is the place where Alauddin Khilji saw the reflection of the beautiful Queen Padmini in a mirror. He was so mesmerized by her unmatched beauty that he decided to attack Chittorgarh to posses the unwilling queen at any cost, leading to death of thousands of Rajput soldiers and women along with the queen.
Vijay Stambh (Tower of Victory): Built by Maharana Kumbha in 1440 AD to commemorate his victory over Mahmud Khilji, this 37 meters high tower is adorned with sculptures of Hindu deities. There are around 157 narrow steps leading to the terrace, which offers a stunning view of the city.
Kirti Stambh (Tower of Fame): Dedicated to Adinath, the 1st Jain Tirthankar, Kirti Stambh is a 22 meters tower. It was built by a wealthy Jain merchant in12th century AD.
Kalika Mata Temple: Originally built as a Sun Temple in the 8th century AD, it was later converted into Kalika Mata Temple in the 14th century AD. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, the symbol of power and valor.
Other not to be missed tourist attractions in Chittorgarh include the famous Kumbha Shyam Temple, Gaumukh Reservoir, Meerabai Temple, and Archeological Museum.
Besides sightseeing tour of Chittorgarh, you can enjoy excursions to many wonderful places nearby like Menal famous for 12th century temples, Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary, 16th century Bijapur Castle, Jagat famous for its 10th century temple dedicated goddess Durga, and Sita Mata Sanctuary. On tours to Chittorgarh, you can also enjoy shopping for wooden toys, printed fabric and leather items.

So, I started to discuss this in a previous thread, but here it is.
My FI and I just went through a big ordeal with our parents with our AHR. It was actually quite stressful and I'm glad it's figured out now.
Originally, we posted on our wedding website that we were going to have a pre-wedding reception. About a month before our wedding. We thought this would be different and get the people that are going to PV excited about going! Our parents sat us down and we went through all the details, date, food, drinks, tables, linens, centerpieces, etc.
I wanted more of a fancy AHR at first. I didn't want people showing up in flip flops and shorts.
Now, here is the most important part....
When we sat down, we actually realized that most of everything is free for this: we have a hook up for rentals, my dad is a DJ and can get the equipment for free, I work for a brewery so beer is free for me, the only thing we would need to pay for in general is food. Not too bad, right?
Well, our guest list grew to about 200 ppl and my FI and I walked away from this meeting with our parents feeling overwhelmed. We realized that what we want is to focus on our wedding in PV, and make that the focus and put all our energy into that party. This is why we chose a DW. This big ordeal of a AHR started to make us feel pressured and take away from our actual real wedding, soooo.....
We decided to cancel it all, have a small casual AHR when we return from our wedding. That way, we will have photos and video. And instead of inviting everyone, we are keeping it to really really close/local family members and friends. We are telling everyone that asks, "we are just having a family gathering when we return..." and my FI and I aren't going to worry about it until we get back from our honeymoon. We are thinking about doing it about a month from when we return (or when we get our photos back....)
I guess the moral of the story is, my FI and I are happy with our decision and the stress is now gone...well, at least for that part of the wedding planning process
Completely changed our AHR plans!

Sounds alot less stressful than your initial plan. Who better to help you celebrate when you get back than your closest loved ones!? Best of luck!
Posted 26 July 2009 - 08:34 PM
Great decision! Having a great wedding that is more than enough stress for one person at one time!
Posted 27 July 2009 - 01:07 PM
Thanks girls! It's been a few months since we made that decision, and it's the best decision I think we've made so far. I still don't regret it.
Posted 31 July 2009 - 04:18 PM
good for you for doing what's best for the both of you - I think we get so caught up in what everyone else might want or like that we start trying to please others and forget about what we truly want.
Posted 31 July 2009 - 04:55 PM
Awesome! Good for you.

Sofia descends from the East Cape iwi of Ngati Porou and Hikurangi is their sacred mountain. Land and ancestral connections are deeply significant for Ngati Porou as shown in the ancient proverb of identity "ko Hikurangi te maunga, ko Waiapu te awa, ko Ngati Porou te iwi" meaning "Hikurangi is the mountain, Waiapu is the river, Ngati Porou are the people." Sofia was inspired to depict Hikurangi in this simple, proud way, because the mountain is considered by Ngati Porou to be the first land to have risen out of the ocean when Maui, the infamous Polynesian demi-god, fished up the North Island of New Zealand. In this work it is as though the pouakai eagle (a native eagle with a wingspan of 3 metres that went extinct c.1400 AD) is circling and welcoming the newly risen mountain.

As a Collingwood supporter, I love the fact that my team's matches are frequently broadcast. But, as a fan of the game, I can't help but wonder whether a more shared coverage from Channel Seven would serve everybody better?
Channel Seven's key aim is to get ratings and that's not surprising. It is about selling advertising space and making money.
But the ethical principles of media coverage balance should come into play.
You only need to look at next week's programming guide to see that the big teams dominate.
The four free-to-air games feature Hawthorn, Geelong, Carlton and Essendon, probably four of the five biggest Victorian teams.
The fact that the network is perpetually promoting the already strong clubs means that others are falling further behind in terms of media share.
Look at the Bulldogs last year. Up until round 16 they only had four games on free-to-air broadcast.
This means that they are not being given the opportunity to connect with the mass audience like other teams are, and ethically they deserve this privilege.
In a perfect world, each club would have the same number of games broadcast by Channel Seven, but that's never going to happen.
What I hope for is that they at least consider making the disparity a little less obvious.

A few very lucky Tor/Forge authors will get to visit NASA as part of the publishers new "NASA inspired Works of Fiction" partnership with the space agency.
Through the program Tor/Forge authors will work with NASA scientists and engineers, writing more "scientifically accurate and entertaining novels." The program's ultimate goal is to encourage more students to follow science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers in school.
Here's more about the program: "[Goddard Space Flight Center's] (GSFC) Innovative Partnerships Program Office will host a select group of Tor/Forge authors – some of whom already write science based fiction – to learn more about science and space exploration. Authors will visit GSFC for a two day workshop in November consisting of presentations, facility tours and one-on-one sessions with [Subject Matter Experts]. NASA contributions to the project will also provide access to their data, facilities, and educational design and evaluation experts."

Big waves along Stockton Beach, north of Newcastle, have uncovered a piece of war-time history.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Have you ever been told the story of the tank traps at Stockton, put in place during the second World War to protect us for a feared Japanese invasion? They're often talked about, but not often seen.
And Stockton Beach is famous for its sand dunes, four wheel driving and sharks, but not as well known for the tank traps. So when 1233 surf reporter Dave Anderson alerted the Breakfast show to the unusual sight, field reporter Jenny Bates went to the beach to investigate.
The recent big waves caused a fair bit of erosion along Stockton Beach, and about 80 of the big concrete pyramids have been exposed, created a striking image early in the morning.


text:
The leftover turkey is transformed to hash stage and the last of the dessert is gone. But before we leave Thanksgiving completely, I share with you a Thanksgiving sermon… about not leaving Thanksgiving completely.
The Responsibility of Gratitude
Deuteronomy 15:7-15
I Corinthians 11:17-34
Have you ever been a part of the start of something new?
A new company.
A new organization.
A new club.
Even a new division.
If you have, you know that there a thousand decisions to be made.
Earlier in my ministry
I served on the boards of several groups
that were just getting started
or were still very young.
Oh my, there are so many decisions to be made.
Voting procedures.
And let's not forget…..
Like building a house
you have to figure out everything from scratch.
Why are we doing it this way and not that?
Do we need to improve upon the old models
or create something new?
Moses was the leader of a group
in such a situation.
With the immediate danger of Egypt and the Pharaoh behind them,
they had to figure out how they were going to live
as free people.
That's a lot of what the book of Deuteronomy is about,
about how a rag tag bunch of escaped slaves become a people.
Part of these bylaws was a provision for the sabbath year..
Every seven years the land was to lie fallow, a sabbath for the earth.
Debts were to be cancelled. Slaves were to be set free.
Now we could spend our time in this text
thinking about best practices for our earth
or the conversation between economics and theology.
Instead I want to keep moving forward
to the last verses of this text.
The reason why they were to do these things.
"For you were once slaves in Egypt."
You free your slaves and treat them
with justice and kindness
because you were once on the other side.
You knew what it was like
to have harsh taskmasters
demanding more bricks
with less straw.
You knew what it was like to cry out to God,
to cry from your bones
for something, anything.
For freedom.
We were once slaves
and with a strong hand and mighty arm
God brought us out from Egypt.
This is why you do what you do.
Not because it's a good idea for interpersonal relations.
Not because it will make you a swell person.
But because you've been there.
You know that ring of authenticity, don't you –
That realness that comes
when someone's been there.
When I did my clinical pastoral education residency,
they told a story to us
about another student in another time.
It was back in the days when
they still delivered babies at Baptist hospital.
This chaplain was called to check in on a woman who'd had a particularly difficult delivery,
hours upon hours
of agonizing labor.
The chaplain came in the room,
introduced himself,
sat down by the bed,
took the patient's hand
and in his most gentle, pastoral voice said,
"Mrs. Smith, I know just how you feel."
This being a chapel of worship
I will not repeat verbatim
what she said,
but it was to the effect that he really didn't know
and would never know.
"You do this for your slaves," the book of Deuteronomy says,
"because you were once slaves in Egypt."
this is not the most popular text
for a Thanksgiving service.
In fact,
I may be the first preacher in the history of Thanksgiving
to use it as such.
But as I thought about this sermon I kept coming back to that phrase…
"for you were once slaves in Egypt."
We like our Thanksgiving celebrations
a bit contained.
Many of us will celebrate tomorrow.
Some will go for the reduced scheduling conflict
of getting together this weekend.
But come Monday
we'll have the sense of having Thanksgiving
behind us.
On the other hand,
the biblical witness is clear
that Thanksgiving isn't a day we celebrate
but a determining factor in how we live.
We were once slaves,
and the Lord brought us out with a strong and mighty arm,
and because of that,
we live differently.
We cannot offer one hand in thanksgiving to God
and close the other hand to God's other children.
I'm not talking here just of a Thanksgiving food drive,
as important a they are.
In my own church last Sunday
we filled the altar with bags of groceries that will help
sustain the needy in our community.
No, I'm talking about what we do
the next week and the next and the next.
How we treat those who are despised and rejected.
How we take the time to see
those who are invisible.
How we seek kind hearts
in an age where the prevailing wind is a mean wind.
You see, we were once slaves in Egypt.
Now perhaps you have had a golden life.
You've never despised yet felt beholden to an addiction
or felt lost in your grief
or wondered how you were going
to pay the power bill this month
or waited out an endless dark night of the soul.
Still,you join in the song…
We were once slaves in Egypt.
For there is not a one of us present
and not a one of us on the planet
who has done enough
and done it well enough
to earn the boundless love of God.
It's why we call it grace.
Because we were slaves…
because we were flawed,
sometimes compassionate
and sometimes clueless
children of God,
and God reached out
and welcomed us home,
that is why we are thankful.
And that is why we must be different.
Paul said as much to the church in Corinth.
In some traditions the Lord's Supper
is known as the eucharist,
after eucharisto – he gave thanks.
He took the bread, and after giving thanks…
Some people in Corinth
were treating the Supper
like an all you can eat buffet
and they were coming hungry.
They filled their plates
and their bellies.
As a result,
there was none left for those who came later.
By the time some folks got there
others were full
and some of them were drunk.
And there wasn't always enough
for all of God's children to share.
It should not be so in the body of Christ,
Paul said.
This isn't a place
to get as much as you can get for yourself,
forgetting your brothers and sisters.
"Do you show contempt for the church of God
and humiliate those who have nothing?" (11:22)
Having given thanks, he took the bread and broke it.
Having given thanks,
we share the bread with all of God's children –
the bread of sustenance for our stomachs,
the bread of hope for our spirits,
the bread of kindness for our neighbors,
the bread of welcome for those
whom we'd rather not call neighbor,
the cup of grace for the broken places in all of us,
the cup of gratitude for all we have been given
and all the roads we have traveled through,
the cup of comfort for grieving hearts
the cup of the waters of mercy and justice
that still long to flow
like a never ending stream..
Tomorrow night
after the leftovers have been divvied up
and the dishes have been washed
and sleepy children put to bed,
thanks giving will not be done.
For you were once slaves in Egypt.
For you, his body was broken.
We were all once slaves in Egypt.
For all of us his body was broken.
Thanks be to God.
With our very lives we declare,
Thanks be to God.

They have been dating 7 to 8 monthsVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
I must start from the beginning so you understand everything. I had been dating a guy for almost 2 years, before we started dating I had a guy best friend and he had a girl best friend. Fortunatly for me his girl bestfriend was dating someone that did not like her talking to my boyfriend, unfortunatley my boyfriend was not cool with my friend (who had also been his best friend too) so he asked me to stop speaking with him. That though was something I did not want to do but i also wanted to keep my boyfriend so I spoke to my friend when my boyfriend wasnt around. Me and my ex had our problems we fought like any couple but it always seemed like someone was trying to break us up. The first time we broke up was because of the way his mom treated me..she acted like i was one of his flings even though we had dated over a year, and would always yell not so nice things in the background of the phone. ( I forgot to tell you both me and him struggled with jeaoulsy issues). (I must also tell that his best friend and her boyfriend broke up so she was free to be friends witho whom ever she wanted and she started flirting with my boyfriend so i asked him not to talk to her if he didnt have to) Anyways his mom didnt like me so much she started picking up and taking his best girl friend places just to piss me off, so i called it quits because i was tired of it. We ended up getting back together, and things were rocky of course but we tryed to make it work. We went on a mission trip together and his best girl friend was there and on a work day they ended up working together and he realized just how much he missed her, so he decides that he wants to be her friend again and flirt with her and all this junk without not telling me but not considering things. He ended up treating me like crap when she was around and yelling at me when she was not, denying that he had feelings for her but telling everyone else he did. Me and him ended up not speaking for the rest of the week, and when we got home, he called me after he had just seen me 10 mintues ago and broke up with my on the phone. He then decides within two weeks that he wants to date the girl i hate most in the entire world. All i want to know is, they have been dating 7 to 8 months, yet he still believes that all i do is talk about him behind his back, always has something rude to say about me, and is trying to make it clear to others that he dislikes me so much, the thing im wondering is, for someone whose supposed to be over their ex he sure does talk about me alot and sometimes i catch him getting a glimpse, does he still care or whats his problem?
PS. the girl he started dating, the one i couldtn stand, he knew i hated her, did he do that to make me mad or what?
Im sorry its so long.
RomanceClass.com Advice
He might have dated the girl that you hated most out of a sub-conscious desire to hurt you.
What I don't understand is why he would want to hurt you. Seems you had a good relationship before you split up. Maybe he was feeling guilty about leaving you and he didn't know what he was doing.
The same goes for why he is talking behind your back now. He is trying to put the blame for breaking up on you. It may also show, as you said, that he might still be interested in you.
Good luck! George

Ben, I am actually not sure what we are arguing about.... If you think that you have to convince me about the necessity of keyword mapping and definitions, then don't:-) I know it is important... You argued against having any mechanism of having a prefix mapping altogether, and I think that is where we have a disagreement: I think prefix mapping is important, _too_. Maybe it is a matter of perception, ie, communities. Indeed, you say: [[[ Putting it another way: a mechanism that lets you bulk declare prefixes does nothing to simplify the author's required understanding of RDFa, it's just a syntactic sugar for many @xmlns's. ]]] and I do not dispute that: yes, it is only syntactic sugar. But a very important one for many. Let us not forget that many authors of RDFa come from the RDF world, for them using different namespaces is the most natural thing of the world, but they are still pissed by the many prefixes they have to declare (and I am one of them!:-). For example, W3C could also publish one vocabulary file where it can put all the standard prefixes for rdf, rdfs, xsd, owl, skos, etc, together, and people would not have to look those up all the time. I could add my own collection of vocabularies, including those listed, plus foaf, dc, sioc, cc, you-name-it, to make my life easier. Syntactic sugar, yes, but an important one. And, to be frank: I do not see any problem in adding this sugar, if it can sweeten some authors' life... The only thing this discussion convinced me: even if it is technically possible to 'merge' the two mechanisms into one, maybe we should not do that, just to avoid screwing up people. I have outlined, in my previous mail, how the current document could be changed in keeping things separate, and I am happy to work it out in the document if I get a 'mandate' to do so...

Highway design guide
Sets out the general principles and minimum standards for the layout and dimensions of roads and paved areas in residential and industrial developments.
Deals with highways and transportation infrastructure for new developments in areas for which we are the Highway Authority and for which the Planning Authorities are:
- Ashfield District Council
- Bassetlaw District Council
- Broxtowe Borough Council
- Gedling Borough Council
- Mansfield District Council
- Newark and Sherwood District Council
- Rushcliffe Borough Council.
It should not be seen as a rigid solution to all road layouts. The aim is to provide a broad framework within which a high standard of road safety and environmental quality can take place, to the benefit of all members of the community.
In some circumstances, where it is would enhance the character of existing development, variation may be allowed provided that it is consistent with the general aims of the document.

Perhaps the safest refuge is still the dense equatorial forest. There below our plane stood the towering trees, wrapped in shifting mists of rain, a forest floored in thick red sludge, through which it is almost impossible to move. A stronghold where elephants and other species can get away from man.
We were at the start of another long journey to look at the effects of the ivory trade on the elephant population. It would take us to the forest elephants of central Africa, then across thousands of miles to the most westerly elephants, in Senegal, and north to the desert elephants of Mauritania and Mali.
Little is known about the forest subspecies, Loxodonta africana cyclotis. Far from communication, they have been undisturbed by man, except for the Pygmies. But now the ivory hunters, working on behalf of rich men, follow the forest elephants' tracks for days on end, inspired by the high price of ivory. Today the elephants are pursued through the great forests that stretch from Cameroon, in a wide D shape, over the Central African Republic, Zaire, Angola, the Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea.
It was in Gabon in May 1979 that we first sighted wild forest elephants, strolling in patches of long golden grass between islands of forest. We were at Petit Bam-Bam in the Wonga Wongué Reserve, private hunting ground of President Albert-Bernard Bongo. It was virtually impossible to observe these elephants at close quarters because hunters and the recent explosions for oil exploration had made all the animals wary. Sensing our disappointment, the guide remarked, "Don't worry, the oil is nearly finished in Gabon, and there are plenty of elephants farther on."
We flew southward along the Atlantic coast, and met Pierre Guizard by chance at Iguela. He had been in Gabon for 34 years as a forester and later as a prospector for gold and diamonds. "I have also been a hunter and have shot many, many elephants," he told me with a half smile.
He offered us a boat to track these forest elephants, with his son René as guide, his tracker Makita, and Joseph the boatman. "Tomorrow you will see the elephants strolling out of the forest and walking next to the sea," he said, "family after family, like clumps of rocks in the sand, but be careful, for they become extremely fierce."

Lowering the bridge with the included hex keys just results in fret buzz and I can't alter the saddle height due to a missing hex key.

CATTLE and pigs are up, sheep down and chickens static.
New figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the value of products created by the agricultural industry increased on average by about 2% in the past financial year.
It was not the meat industry doing the heavy lifting, as the most impressive gains came from rice which increased by 46%, canola by 32% and cotton by 20%.
The value of apples fell by 29% and hay by 15%.
However, astonishing leaps in value were from a lower base - rice is worth $254 million compared to beef's $7.8 billion.
ABS agriculture statistics director Helen Baird said Australia's crops were now worth $20 billion or 6% more than the year before.
"The value of Australia's main crop, wheat, increased by 7% to $7.5billion," she said.
