Department of Communication Arts
Welcome to the Department of Communication Arts
at Malone University
We offer the Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts with concentrations in:
The department also offers a Communication Arts minor and offers coursework in the Gender Studies minor.
There's a place for you
As part of Malone University's College of Theology, Arts & Sciences, the Department of Communication Arts provides big opportunities while being small enough to let you explore widely.
Communication has many facets – content, story, relationships, performance, production. Our integrated curriculum gives you a taste of communication in a range of settings, and it lets you delve deeply into areas of special interest.
Set in the larger context of a solid liberal arts education, the Communication Arts program provides a foundation for making sense of the world around and addressing it effectively. Our focus on the four values in our mission statement (truth, reconciliation, transformation and reflection) helps us remember our deep belief that the methods and the messages that we communicate are part of the Gospel of God. Our focus on these values means that we want our students to be effective communicators in ways that do good in the world.
Engage in your learning
You are likely to find yourself sitting in circles, involved in discussion, teaching and learning from peers, and engaging course content in a variety of different ways because we want to encourage you to find ways to engage your learning in a practical way. You'll find ways to explore simulated contexts, apply what you are learning, and integrate your emotions, intuitions, and collective efforts into your college experience. Professors are deeply involved in developing, directing and facilitating these opportunities, because we believe that you don't just learn in your head.
Focus on "real life"
We believe that the real contexts of our co-curricular activities are central to your college education. Being involved with productions, performances and publications is a key thread in your learning. Classes build on these co-curricular experiences and the co-curricular build on your classes. You'll work with real clients and connect with working professionals. You learn with your body, with your hands and with other people as you experience things together. Every Communication Arts major is required to have an internship and more class credit can be obtained while doing "real world" work. We work hard to make sure that our classes and our learning IS "real life."
Our Mission
We, the Communication Arts Department, are committed to the development of communicators rooted in communities, acting as agents of truth, reflection, transformation, and reconciliation in a way that celebrates God's grace and faithfulness.

The Street today had a bunch to say about chip equipment makers, including Lam Research (LRCX), which reported fiscal Q2 results on Wednesday, and KLA Tencor (KLAC), which reported fiscal Q2 yesterday.
KLA beat Q2 estimates and offered a Q3 revenue view that also topped expectations. Lam beat expectations as well, though it projected revenue and earnings this quarter below what analysts have been modeling.
KLAC shares closed the week up 9% at $56.34, while Lam finished up 2.8% at $41.84. The positive good feeling around the stocks follows decent results last week from ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). Samsung Electronic's (005930KS) Q4 report last night was accompanied by an outlook for spending to remain about the same this year, which was reassuring. And Intel (INTC) last week said on the occasion of its Q4 report that it will spend $13 billion this year, up from $11 billion last year.
KLA on its call last night said it now thinks total foundry spending this year will decline 5% to 10%, better than its prior view of down 10% to 15%.
Stifel Nicolaus's Patrick Ho today writes of the Samsung news that there was a "vagueness" to it that suggests plans for capital budgets between Intel and Samsung and Taiwan Semi are so sensitive, nobody wants to completely give the game away.
Management noted on the conference call that given the overall global macroeconomic uncertainty, it expects its total capex to be relatively flattish to 2012 levels (which came in at 23.2 trillion won or almost $22 billion based on Thursday's f/x rates). On the semiconductor side, Samsung spent 14 trillion won, or approximately $13 billion, which is in line with our forecast and consensus [...] Management emphasized (over and over again) that it would be "flexible" depending on the market environment and provided no breakdown or mix of
its total capex plans for 2013 [...] We suspect that part of this evasiveness can be attributed to gamesmanship among the top spenders, Intel, TSMC and Samsung in terms of "who can spend more than the other." Although we should note that both Intel and TSMC provided significantly more details regarding their respective capex plans.
Deutsche Bank's Vishal Shah late yesterday raised his rating on KLA shares to Hold from Sell, and raised his price target to $56 from $41.
There's hope revenue will turn out better in several areas this year, and the company is keeping operating expenses under control:
1) Foundry strength driven by 20nm activity: Company raised capex outlook from down 10-15% to down 5-10% with upside primarily driven by the foundry segment. Dec Q bookings upside was also driven by the foundry segment (67% of bookings from this segment) and mgmt expect foundries to continue to remain strong in 2013. Roughly a third of foundry orders were from sub 28nm node and mgmt expects 20nm spending to increase in 2013. While foundry mix is expected to decrease to 50-52% in Mar Q and remain the same in Jun Q, mgmt expects a CY2H13 bookings uptick driven by all segments (memory, logic, broader foundry participation); 2) Memory bookings low, but improving: Mgmt expect memory bookings to improve in Mar Q, but does not expect significant improvement until 2H13. The company expects logic bookings to strengthen in Mar Q (from 16% of mix in Dec Q to 25% of mix in Mar Q); 3) Mgmt expects KLAC revs to be flat to down 5% in a down 5-10% capex year; 4) Opex under control, limited risk of 450mm opex ramp. Mgmt expects opex to be in the range of $215-220M/qtr for the rest of the year.

General Question
General Idea
So you basically start out at a village, you must fight your way though different rooms and progress through 100 levels, 20 stages with 5 levels each. Once you get to the last level and find the boss, you fight her and win your mother back, along with even more riches than promised before. Along the way though, you will find items, trinkets, weapons and companions to help you with your quest.
Game Mechanics
My question to you guys is, what are some things you think would go well in this game? I understand that I don't quite have the hardware and tools to create this game, which is why I am asking for some questions, suggestions, feed back so that when I able to create this game, I can be ready. This will also help me with whether it's a good game idea or not, and if I should go through with it. I am also 15 so sorry if this sounds like some fan boy dream.
This thread will be updated with new things to explain, or suggestions you have made, along with artwork if I ever get along to creating some(currently I have only 3 pieces of art work).
Thanks for at least READING this.

The first air transport to connect Stewart Island and the mainland was Stewart Island Air Service, operating an amphibian aircraft . The plane landed in the harbour and taxied up the beach to the local hotel.
Twenty years ago this was succeeded by Southern Air Ltd with the establishment of an airstrip at Ryan's Creek.
Today, Stewart Island Flights is a locally owned and operated business. We maintain scheduled flights linking Stewart Island and Invercargill as well as a number of exciting alternatives providing access to the more remote reaches of the island.
We proudly operate two Britten Norman Islanders, one Piper Cherokee Six and one Cessna 185. All aircraft are maintained to the highest standard and fulfil all safety requirements.

So though his quest is ostensibly to defeat an evil dictator and retrieve a powerful artifact "known only as . . . the Artifact," DeathSpank spends most of his time as an errand boy. Far from resisting the daily grind, he seeks it out. "Got any more side quests for me?" he pesters one character. It's fun for the player that the game is in on the joke, and this knowingness papers over what are, yes, monotonous side quests.
DeathSpank's objectives tend to fit into three categories: dropping something off, picking something up, or killing something. Sometimes there's no challenge involved. When an enchanted tree asks for about six different things, each request is a discrete mission, and every object magically appears nearby. DeathSpank just needs to fetch them. But, reader, it does make a difference that he is retrieving for this talking tree a pair of headphones, a black light, and a prog-rock album.
DeathSpank is the brainchild of Ron Gilbert, the man who created The Secret of Monkey Island, the beloved adventure game for which no superlative suffices. This one shares Monkey Island's madcap sense of humor, from the shady characters who populate every corner of the map to the cheerful obtuseness of its hero to the loopy dialogue. Although DeathSpank can chat with most of the NPCs he encounters, speech in this game isn't simply functional. The player can pursue twisting conversational paths; these offer no tangible rewards but plenty of delight.
Dialogue in games has been on the upswing, thanks to a resurgence of graphical adventures and BioWare's laudable emphasis on character-driven drama, but few writers share Gilbert's deft touch. He's at his best when skewering game machismo. "The town's just up the road. You can't miss it," a character tells DeathSpank. DeathSpank replies grimly, "We'll see about that."
Although he may be a buffoon, DeathSpank is a bad-ass when the action starts. He marches into battle against hordes of enemies who die quickly and leave behind lots of loot. His ability to block enemy attacks adds a veneer of strategy, but in general, the path to success is paved with stronger equipment. DeathSpank can wield four weapons at a time — which are rarely enough. Fortunately, the goodies come fast and furious.
And if the story is a farce, the gameplay is no joke. Weapons and armor arrive with their own status effects and statistical boosts for our hero, and some weapons can be combined on the battlefield to devastating effect. All that's missing is an easy way to compare items, though the limited inventory capacity turns out to be surprisingly helpful: you can tell right away what you have to work with. No one will confuse DeathSpank with Diablo, but for a downloadable game that sells for $15, the complexity is just right. And the humor? A bargain at any price.

This is Bugzilla
Version 2.22.7
View Bug Activity
Format For Printing
Clone This Bug
This morning I recieved an email, in japanese from my gmail account. It
OK, but when I clicked on it, scribe froze completely. CPU usage goes to 100%
and InScribe is unresponsive. I forwarded the mail again from gmail's web
interface and the second time I could recieve it no problem. I made a backup of
the scribe log file and re-opened scribe. This is what the scribe.txt file
reported during the new session:
C:\Code\Scribe\Code\ScribeApp.cpp:7936 - No option 'Folder-7'
C:\Code\Scribe\Code\ScribeApp.cpp:7936 - No option 'Folder-7'
At the moment this is completely repeatable. If I can manage to export and
all of the other emails out I can send you the mail2 file.
System is an Inspiron 6000 notebook 512mb RAM running XP MCE SP2. Running
Well somehow while I was trying to export out my folders scribe deleted my
folder. I went Ctrl-A to select emails in my gmail folder and it disappeared.
friendly HEX editor says that my gmail folder is still alive in well in my
file. I can copy out the portion of the mail2 file related to this bug or if
know how I can manually undelete a folder I can do that. I'm not heartbroken
losing this folder, gmail still has a copy of everything and most of it is
unimportant stuff.
I have a message that does the same thing in my install. I think it's the HTML
control getting stuck while parsing CSS selectors. I changed that recently and I
may have even fixed it. I do remember tweaking it recently, although that may
have caused the issue instead of fixing it.
In any case it'd be good to get a copy of the message attached to this bug
report. If you could switch off the mail preview (Tools -> Layout -> Just
Folders and List) and then drag the offending mail to the desktop and attach it
to this bug report I can verify the problem and any fix I make.
As for the folder disappearing I'm not sure I follow what happened. You pressed
Ctrl-A with the folder selected and it was deleted just like that? No
confirmation or anything?
I've rewritten the CSS selector parser so it doesn't hang.

The new revenue that might be garnered from such a plan would largely help pay for health insurance coverage. While the plan's ultimate goal may be worthy, its effect will be to discourage charitable donations from the very people who supply a large portion of charitable funding. Some economists estimate that charities may lose up to $6 billion in gifts.

|If you struggle with heartburn, you might be hesitant to chug something acidic, like apple cider vinegar. "Yet that's what many people need to prevent heartburn from ever happening!" says Joseph Brasco, M.D., a gastroenterologist at the Center for Colon and Digestive Diseases in Huntsville, Alabama. The connection? Stalled digestion is what keeps food in the stomach long enough for it to wash up into the esophagus and cause heartburn pain, he says. "And cider vinegar contains malic and tartaric acids, powerful digestive aids that speed up digestion so your stomach can empty quickly." Dilute one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in an 8- ounce glass of water and drink before each meal -- you'll see noticeable improvements in as little as 24 hours. For the best results possible, pick up some unpasteurized cider vinegar the next time you're at a health or whole foods store. Malic and tartaric acids can be damaged by heat, so you'll get a heftier dose of these tummy-soothers if you opt for cider vinegar that's never been heated.

| If you're tempted to drag out a meal so you can get a break from your hectic life -- do it! People who take 30 minutes to eat their largest meal of the day are 32 percent less likely to be hit with indigestion, gassiness and heartburn compared to people who finish in less than 10 minutes, according to studies at Charleston's Medical University of South Carolina. "Plus people who eat at a leisurely pace have less swallowed air, bloating, cramping and intestinal pain," adds Gary Gitnick, M.D., chief of digestive diseases at the UCLA School of Medicine. "If you tend to eat quickly, just slowing down could completely change the quality of your life." Can't seem to break your speed-eating habit? Try dining in silence. UCLA studies suggest that people who turn off the TV and radio -- so they're eating in a calm, quiet atmosphere -- naturally nosh at a more leisurely, tummy-soothing pace.

| According to researchers at Britain's St Thomas' Hospital, chewing gum after meals prevents heartburn by doubling the flow of saliva down into the esophagus, where it neutralizes any stomach acid that's leaking up from your tummy. "You don't have to chew gum nonstop," adds John Lipham, M.D., director of the Heartburn and Swallowing Center at California's Chapman Medical Center. "Just pop a piece in your mouth when you feel the first twinge, and chew until your heartburn disappears." Should you opt for sugar-free? That depends on how the rest of your digestive tract functions! The artificial sweeteners in sugar-free gum have an odd little quirk: They're surprisingly good at getting the large intestines moving. That means sugar-free gum is a great option if you're prone to constipation -- but bad news if you tend to get diarrhea!

| It's packed with 40 intestine-soothing natural plant compounds, and sipping three cups daily can reduce painful cramping and chronic bloating for up to 75 percent of women within 48 hours, say researchers at Canada's McMaster University. Time it right by drinking 8 ounces half an hour before each meal. Peppermint tea can even prevent dyspepsia (that nasty upper-belly pain and bloating that can drag on for hours after meals), say the researchers. "Peppermint's plant compounds can make you less prone to embarrassing bouts of flatulence, because they break up large gas bubbles in the intestines, plus stall the formation of new ones," adds Dr. Gitnick, author of "Getting Well, Staying Well."

| Taking warm, soothing daily baths can reduce bloating in as little as 72 hours, according to researchers at Logan's University of Utah. The reason: Being immersed in warm water relaxes the entire central nervous system, and when people feel more calm, cool and collected, they swallow 67 percent less air than when they're stressed to the max! More good news: A relaxing soak reduces your adrenal glands' production of damaging stress hormones -- as stress hormone levels drop, your stomach's ability to properly digest and absorb food naturally rises, says Dr. Brasco.

| Nibbling two slices of candied ginger quells the queasies for up to 88 percent of people within 30 minutes, say researchers at the University Hospitals in Cleveland, OH. That makes this sweet, spicy treat as effective as Dramamine for easing nausea, but without this meds' sleepy side effects. Bonus: Researchers at India's Central Food Technological Research Institute say enjoying two slices of candied ginger daily can also help cut your heartburn flare-ups as much as 40 percent. Their studies suggest that ginger's active ingredients (gingerols and curcumin) not only improve digestion and quell nausea fast; they also prod the gallbladder to produce more bile (a digestive aid that helps break down heartburn-triggering fats).

| At least 15 percent of Americans -- and twice as many women than men -- struggle with constipation. But munching on whole-grain rye bread relieves constipation more effectively than laxatives. Plus, it prevents future flare-ups, too, according to researchers at Finland's University of Helsinki. The credit goes to rye's arabinoxylan -- dietary fiber that improves your belly's ability to keep food moving at a reasonable clip. The study subjects enjoyed seven slices daily -- but just trading your usual dose of bread for whole-grain rye can do the trick. "If your grocery store doesn't carry this healthy option, stock up at the nearest bakery, instead," suggests Joanne Slavin, Ph.D., a professor of food science at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

| Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) -- the most common digestive problem nationwide (at least one in five women struggle with it daily) -- can cause terrible bouts of pain, constipation, diarrhea and other symptoms. And while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps ease digestive upsets for almost 60 percent of women, there's a pretty big catch: Raw produce releases irritating hydrogen gas when it reaches the intestines, which causes nasty flare-ups for IBS-prone women, says Gitnick. If you suspect uncooked produce could be making your belly upsets worse, try this test: Only eat fruits and veggies that have been cooked, canned, made into soups or processed into juices. If you're sensitive to fresh produce, you'll see dramatic improvements in as little as one week.

| If you're prone to belly pain, bloating or other uncomfortable symptoms after meals, try relaxing in a comfy chair after eating. For five minutes, sit and visualize your symptoms gradually disappearing. Spending a few minutes daily picturing a positive, pain-free outcome helps up to 89 percent of women soothe bellyaches in as little as one week, say UCLA researchers. That's because a post-meal serenity break switches on your enteric nervous system, a specialized group of nerves that nourishes your digestive tract, plus secretes the hormones your intestines need to function at their peak, explains Brasco, co-author of "Restoring Your Digestive Health."

| Deadline looming? Company coming? Stress overloads are as tough on your digestive tract as they are on your nervous system -- in fact, they're one of the leading causes of chronic digestive upsets, says Gitnick. Spending just 20 minutes daily practicing even the most basic yoga poses can reduce your bouts of indigestion by 70 percent in one week and cut your heartburn flare-ups in half, say doctors at New York's Winthrop University Hospital. Turns out these calming, body-bending moves act just like meditation, dramatically lowering your output of tummy-trashing stress hormones.

What better way to celebrate the return of spring than by spending an afternoon outdoors benefiting a charitable cause? Hope on Goat, a fundraiser for local non-profit Yo Art, was the perfect low key Saturday fete, and partygoers flocked to Goat Island throughout the afternoon.
After a short boat ride to the island, guests walked up a scenic dock and entered through the silent auction. Musicians played on a stage at the front of the party, and partygoers crowded around the oyster tables, which were piled high with steaming shellfish. While the adults enjoyed oysters, hot dogs, fish stew, and beer, the children got creative at the art tables, helped to paint a mural, or played with a bubble machine. There was no shortage of canine companions, and a number of dogs roamed about the party. A pet pig also made an appearance, which was a huge hit with those who attended.
The silent auction eventually drew to a close, with partygoers crowding in to try to place one last bid. Then it was back to the lawn chairs and oyster tables to enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
Hope on Goat benefited Yo Art, a local non-profit which strives to enhance the classroom curriculum with media arts programming designed to spark students' curiosity and engage them in issues beyond their own life boundaries. Yo Art partners with local artists and arts organizations to provide comprehensive arts education, nurturing relationships and high expectations that enable young people to better know and express themselves as they discover and develop their artistic gifts.

The mid-term elections are still months away, but it's never too early to place a bet on the winner. One possibility: Coal stocks.
Coal stocks sure could use a boost. The Market Vectors Coal ETF (KOL) has dropped 23% so far this year, while Peabody Energy (BTU) has fallen 28%, Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) has declined 27% and Arch Coal (ACI)has plunged 38%. Even Consol Energy (CNX), one of the best performers in the sector thanks to some asset sales, has only managed to gain 20%, lagging the S&P 500′s 29% rise.
But coal's tough times could be ending thanks to the elections in 2014, note Newedge USA's Robbert van Batenburg and team. They write:
One of the biggest beneficiaries of the midterm elections may be the US coal sector. The vulnerable Democrats up for reelection in Republican states will be forced towards a more coal friendly policy and the administration is likely to ease up on attacking coal to improve Democratic chances in these states. On top of that, should the Republican Party gain enough seats in the mid-term elections, the President's environmental policy could enter a stalemate for the remainder of his term. Fighting coal has been at the forefront of the environmental policy of the administration and the resulting relief could help improve conditions in the sector.
The Market Vectors Coal ETF has gained 0.9% to $19.34 today at 2:38 p.m., while Peabody Energy has risen 3.6% to $19.32, Alpha Natural Resources has jumped 5.9% to $7.18, Arch Coal has advanced 4.5% to $4.56% and Consol Energy's is up 1.7% to $38.49.

Obesity Panacea is Moving to PLoS BLoGs!
Thursday, September 02, 2010 0 Responses
Some exciting news today: Obesity Panacea is moving to PLoS BLoGs, the new blog community hosted by the Public Library of Science (aka PLoS). We are very excited about this move for a few reasons. First, PLoS has been a leader in the Open Access movement, which makes scientific articles available to anyone with an internet connection, as opposed to most journals which require expensive memberships that put original research out of reach for most members of the public. Not only that, but papers published in PLoS journals can also be translated, altered, or reprinted online without violating the copyright - something which is explicitly forbidden by most traditional journals. All of these things make it much easier to promote science to a wider audience, which is something Peter and I wholeheartedly support.
In addition, PLoS has assembled a terrific group of bloggers, including our former Scibling David Kroll (aka Abel Pharmboy), regular Wired contribute Steve Silberman, and Pulitzer Prize winner Deborah Blum, to name just a few (the full list can be found here). We are very excited to be able to work with and learn from such a terrific group, as well as the PLoS staff who are a pretty impressive group themselves. And finally PLoS BLoGS won't have any ads, which has its benefits.
So what does this mean for Obesity Panacea? Aside from our new URL, not much. The content of our posts will remain same, as will the general posting scheme - 3 posts during the week, with a weekly round-up post on the weekends. And if you currently receive Obesity Panacea via email or RSS feed, you should automatically receive content from our new site, beginning later this week (if we encounter any technical issues, we will keep you posted).
And we promise, this will be the last move the Obesity Panacea will be making for a long, looooong time.
We hope that all of you will make the move with us! Beginning today, you can find our all of our new content at www.blogs.plos.org/obesitypanacea.
Enjoyed this story? Share it with your friends by clicking the buttons below!
To get future posts delivered directly to your email inbox or to your RSS reader, be sure to subscribe to Obesity Panacea.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The Dalles dam traditionally sees its first 'fresh' steelhead start to show up May 1st. Take the steelhead count on The Dalles from 5/1 and John Day from 5/15. Many steelhead overwinter in The Dalles pool and finish the migration the next year. Those show up in counts from 1/1 to about 5/15. Remember they shut down counting from approx. Dec 1 to March 31 in all projects except Bonn anf LWG.
If you are already pulling annual counts for this time frame it comes down to the entirely unreliable count numbers at John Day. For several years they are way off to what seem realistic from using The Dalles compared to McNary. As you have found out more often than not more fish are counted at John Day than what is reported going over The Dalles. Those fish never seem to make it over McNary.
I realize the daily counts are not a good indicator. I was actually referring to the total annual counts. I went back and took the final annual count at the Dalles and John Day. There should be atrition at each upstream dam, but looking at the last 10 years, the numbers are back and forth. Subtracting JohnDay from Dalles gives the following........+11K (2004) -13k(2003) -2k(2002) +20k(2001) -15k( 2000) -8k( 1999) -42k(1998) 8k(1997) 6k( 1996) 23k(1995) 19k(1994) and 29k(1993). The negative numbers indicate more fish went through the upstream John Day fish ladder, than through the Dalles ladder!!!! Weird.
To add to these strange stats during the last few blistering drought stricken summers, many believe that many of the steelhead get "stuck" BELOW the Dalles, not wishing to move upstream when the water is too warm. Then in September they rush up the Deschutes en mass, and the fishermen do not get a very good shot at them in the lower part of the river near the Columbia.
Yearly totals actualy give a better understanding of fish distribution as a species moves up the system, as an example:
Daily total
Oct 05
Dalles - Chinook / 12000 - W Steelhead / 6000 - Total Steelhead / 25000
John Day - Chin / 12000 - W Steelhead / 9000 - Total Steelhead / 33000
Mc Nary - Chin / 14000 - W Steelhead / 9000 - Total Steelhead / 36000
The amounts daily seem to be growing the further upriver you go!
Yearly Totals
Jan 8 - Oct 8 '05
Dalles - Chinook / 355000 - W Steelhead / 68000 - Total Steelhead / 224500
John Day - " 292000 " 66400 " 209000
Mc Nary - " 240600 " 50300 " 188500
This I believe to be a truer representation of distribution
These counts and other info at dfw.state.or.us
Sometimes the fish go up through the locks at The Dalles, or so I've been told. Some fish have been known to go back down the ladders and thus be counted twice or more. I assume you're talking about end of season counts, as the daily numbers from some sites are occasionally missing.
The Deschutes also acts are a holding area for Idaho bound fish; fish go up as far as Pelton Dam and then turn around to continue on to Dworshak or wherever. But, as you point out, there should be attrition at every dam, as fish as siphoned off into the tributaries or are killed by nets, anglers, other predators, or disease. The season totals for fish passage should be greater at The Dalles than at John Day.
Someone else will probably provide the real explanation for this, but the locks may be a factor.
-- Eric
Explain The Dalles vs. JohnDay Fish Counts???
I can not make sense of the fish counts on the Columbia. I occasionally fish the Deschutes and the Clearwater. But I can not understand the fish counts at the Dalles Ladder vs. the John Day. It seems to me that the Dalles count, minus the John Day count, would give an indication as to how many fish went up the Deschutes. But looking at the past years counts the numbers jumps all over, some years 5000 to 20000 plus OR minus!!!! steelhead go through these two dams. Example 11000 less went through JDay, but in 2003, 13000 MORE fish went throught JDAY than THE DALLES. As I see it, the only river between The Dalles damn and John Day is the Deschutes. Any good reading on the counts?

Mediterranean Diet study rocks the medical world
UPDATED I was surprised to read, in this morning's New York Times, that there had never been a major study on the effects of the Mediterranean Diet on heart disease rates before. But one just published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown stunningly beneficial results for a diet high in vegetables, fruits, fish, olive oil, nuts, legumes and wine (and low in red meats, dairy and processed foods) on the rates of heart disease. It showed that following the Mediterranean diet cut rates of heart attack, strokes and death from heart disease by about 30%. The magnitude of the positive results were so convincing that the study ended early, "because the results were so clear it was considered unethical to continue," writes Gina Kolata.
One of the striking things about it, according to the Times story, is that it was not at all difficult to get the subjects who were placed on the Mediterranean diet to stay on the diet. I can't say that surprises me — it's the way I prefer to eat, and definitely the way I cook at home. Sometimes I worry about eating too many nuts, but after reading this, I'm definitely not going to stress about it! I think I'll celebrate by having a salad for lunch.
Participants in the study were divided into three groups: a control group, which was put on a low-fat diet and two groups that ate a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil or nuts. One group was given 1 liter per week of extra-virgin olive oil from Spain; the other group was given 15 grams per week of walnuts (from California), almonds (from Spain) and hazelnuts (also from Spain.) None of the groups was asked to restrict their total caloric restriction, nor was physical exercise promoted. The nuts and olive oil both proved to be beneficial.
I was fascinated to get into the details of the study, in terms of what exactly the participants on the Mediterranean diets were asked to eat. Here's what was required:
–"Abundant use of olive oil for cooking and dressing dishes"
–At least two servings per day of vegetables, at least one of them as "as fresh vegetables in a salad" and "discounting side dishes"
–At least two to three servings per day of fresh fruit, including natural juices
–At least three weekly servings of legumes
–At least three weekly servings of fish or seafood, including at least one serving of fatty fish (such as salmon, sardines or mackerel)
–At least one weekly serving of nuts and seeds
–Select white meat poultry (without the skin) or rabbit instead of red meats or processed meats like sausage or hamburger
–Participants were also required to cook at least twice a week with tomato, garlic and onion (with or without other aromatic herbs) and dress vegetables, rice, pasta and other dishes with a sauce made by simmering minced tomato, garlic and onion in abundant olive oil
–Participants were asked to avoid or limit consumption of "cream, butter,
margarine, cold meat, pate, duck, carbonated and/or sugared beverages, pastries, industrial bakery products (such as cakes, donuts, or cookies), industrial desserts (puddings, custard), French fries or potato chips, and out-of-home pre-cooked cakes and sweets"
–Unlimited consumption of nuts (raw and unsalted), eggs, fish, seafood, low-fat cheese, dark chocolate and whole grain cereals was allowed
–Two main meals per day should be eaten while participants were seated at table for at least 20 minutes
–Consumption of red meat (visible fat removed), cured ham and cured or fatty cheeses was limited to no more than once per week
And here's what the study required in terms of wine: "For usual drinkers, the dietitian's advice was to use wine as the main source of alcohol (maximum 300 ml, 1-3 glasses of wine per day). If wine intake was customary, a recommendation to drink a glass of wine per day (bigger for men, 150 ml, than for women, 100 ml) during meals was given." To give you an idea in terms of ounces, 100 ml is 3.38 ounces and 150 ml is 5 ounces.
I was curious about the participants' consumption of non-whole-grain pasta, which I couldn't find expressly mentioned in the study.
If you're wondering about the difference between the lately-popular Paleo Diet and the Mediterranean diet, the Paleo diet forbids legumes and grains, which the Mediterranean Diet embraces, and the Mediterranean Diet limits red meat consumption, which the Paleo Diet does not.
If you happen to be avoiding meat during Lent, that's a great start — and here's a slide show linking to delicious-looking non-meat recipes. A number of the recipes call for salmon; for maximum health benefit, use wild salmon (which is just coming into season).

My twins are 18 and are getting close to graduating from High School. The other night they brought home a form for documenting Community service. In our State there is a requirement to perform 8 hours of community service. I agree with this requirement, I think it, at a minimum forces today's youth to at least understand the need for volunteerism and service.
So why am I blogging about this? Well, this was real easy for us as we document all the service our Scouts do. I mean, heck.. just to get to the rank of Life Scout the Scout will have completed at least 12 hours of service to his community. Now add in all the rest of the service he will do in the course of a year and the graduation requirements are met with ease.
In the last two years I have had to go back into our troop documents and produce service records for graduating Seniors. This becomes a real important part of the graduates record for the School. I have talked with our High School about this requirement, one of the counselors said that they appreciate those Seniors that were or are Boy Scouts. It sure helps them out in understanding the need for service.
Our family participates in the Relay for Life each year, and our High School is a host for the relay annually. Our youngest son (Life Scout) is on the committee for the School Relay program. The spirit of service has been grown in them from a very early age and I am happy that they now, without Dad or Mom pushing, asking, or even encouraging, they find ways to be of service. Now if we could get them to clean their rooms…
Service is an important part of Scouting going all the way back to its beginnings. The Lone Scout in the story of William D. Boyce lost in the London Fog, Food drives, Scrap metal drives during WW II, Goodwill/Good Turn, not to mention all the countless hours that Troops spend on local projects that benefit their communities, Charter Partners, and Wilderness areas.
Service has always been one of the Hallmarks of Scouting. Even providing service within the Troop in leadership positions plays a major role in developing the spirit of service in our Scouts. It is in this spirit that our young men start the habit of being in service to others. I think that when they understand the importance of this, it will last them a life time.
Every year Scouts all over conduct Scouting for Food drives. This is a great way to get in the community and do a great service to those that truly in need, but we can take that a step further. Our Troop does the food drive, then helps sort, box, and store the food in our local food bank. As this happens they all see the direct impact of their work on the drive. As the food drive is always on a Saturday, the Scouts get the opportunity to see those in need arrive to collect the much needed food. It is a sad that there is a need, but the fact of the matter is that there is. We do not parade the Scouts around to get an eye full, but the behind the scenes glimpse that they do get is enough to instill in them the want to do more.
So I think it is a great thing that our Schools require service to the community as part of their graduation. I think it a even greater that the Boy Scouts maintain service as one of its core values.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Thread: Bristlenose and Betta
Bristlenose and Betta
I have a 30 gal that gets over run with algae quite often and its mostly my fault that I leave lights on while I'm awake so its on too long. I'm terrible at getting it off because frankly I like being able to see my fish. lol So my mom was having issues with hers and was told to grab a bristle. She loves it!
So she grabbed me one and these are supposed to be dwarfs.. I think they mean Ancistrus temminckii. ANyway on this one site that ccalculates how many fish to a tank you can get away with, it noted that they can't be with Bettas. I have a docile 'male' betta (not really sure... walmart said male, and its either a short finned male or indeed a female with lots of color. :-)
I never saw any fights but bristle didn't live more then a week. I know it didn't starve. Now my guess is that due to a missed wc I probably caused its death because my other fish are used to me missing one while pregnant and not able to lift much. But I'm just wanting to be certain that I didn't lose him due to betta. Has anyone heard of them not mixing?
Can't see why really because Bettas don't fight over the bottom. Now I do have Cories... but they seemed happy that this guy was in there. I planned on picking up more to buddy with but if they aren't going to survive then I can't see wasting $8 a piece on a non compatible fish.Define busy ~

Sorry about the bristlenose. they are great fish
I agree with Missoutank Without knowing water perimeters there's no way to know what happened. If you don't have an API liquid water test kit, you really should get one. I can't imagine keeping my tanks without it. When something seems wrong or goes wrong the first thing I do is check ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
If you had an ammonia spike or if you nitrates are high, it could have killed it since toxins tend to settle near the bottom.
Once you have your water perimeters get back to us. In the meantime, I'd do a large water change just in case you do have a nitrate or ammonia problem so your other fish don't also become ill.
How long has your tank been cycled, btw?30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,

Yeah I know. That's why I could only asumn. Lets put it this way, I'm pregnant with third child and husband doesn't bank a million. :-) Sometimes you buy what you really need more then test kits. They have food and clorine killers. When you run out of tests you hope for the best.
Tank is 3 yrs old - most of those fish in there have been in for those 3 yrs or slightly less. My guess was as said above... newbies to tank not used to things and bottom feeders effected first.
I had not gotten to a water change before I put him in as my mom suprised me with it for birthday... and again I am not supposed to lift buckets of water but I did a large change today after a slight change the other day.
So aside from my mistake that I admit to -- do they get along with Bettas? or cories?
To be honest I'm 24 wks pg and been getting contractions... not a fun or healthy pregnancy so my fish and other pets have suffered when husband is at work. Can't wait till June!
On the plus side I had 3 oto's we tried to introduce a few months back. I thought I lost all of them for same reason (I got hospitalised in Nov so tank again went undone) .... but while cleaning the tank one of the otos scurried around and seems to be thriving... last of the 3 of course. But I did something right!

If that is the case for your situation, then I would hold off on new fish until you can get extra help with the tank.
without any way to test the water, you have the potential to kill every new fish you add. especially without a QT set up.
pleco's get along fine with near every fish.
betta's attitudes vary so much that they don't succeed in community tanks.
one fish can be best buds with the other fish, another will shred everything in its path.
Edit: about the timer-go online and buy a timer then. every time I have bought was 10bucks, at walmart and home depot.

it's a long time until June. Get an aquean water changer as suggested on another one of your threads and not to be a parrot, but I agree with mizzou. It would be best for YOU and the fish not to get any more fish until you can take care of them.

I can't imagine the betta being the cause. If it really was temmenicki and there was chemical trouble you would have seen him an awful lot in the top half of the tank.
Have you seen the fish eat?My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Well I thought I saw him eating. lol
Wahh.. don't say its a long time till June... I'm dying here as it is with this pregnancy! lol
As I stated earlier I wasn't the one that BOUGHT the fish. MY MOM did for my birthday. I never saw him at top nor have my other cories acted funny.
Actually I've had bad luck with plecos being overly aggressive and bettas being the nicest fish I've ever had... still thinking this one is female though. Being I've owned MANY bettas in my yrs of fish keeping I am stumped on this one and it bugs me. :-)
To be quite honest I am doing research now into my fish - not just jumping out and getting more. I like to know what I'm getting into before I do it though I do plan on picking up some extra neons tomorrow for $1 a piece because I've lost a few over the yr - yr1/2. My betta had popeye- treated that and lost a tetra... or it might have been when I treated a platy back awhile ago... its funny that if I ever treat or even remove one fish, a totally different fish dies on me that had no sign of illness yet. Platy had dropsy. Didnt survive. I am still working on getting 10 gal set up... just need a filter for it and made mom a deal on that so its most likely my first step. As one can imagine... I have MANY MoRE important things to buy right now then fish, filters...etc. I'm just researching. I didn't plan on getting another bristle yet- but wanted to check first if they were ok with Bettas. Thing is, I went to clean tank and realised while doing so that I hadn't seen Betta OR Bristle for 3 days. Figured both to be dead. Betta has old scaring on head from something so I never know if he'll be alive next day though seems healthy. Then about 2 days later there is my betta happy as can be . Then next day I realised something was floating and was pretty white... as no other fish where missing and this was fuzzy I could only assumn it was bristle.
BTW... after recounting my neons again I have found that ALL are present but one black I remember losing a long time ago. sneaky little things. So that means I haven't lost a fish in at least a yr. After finding bristle I did another water change. BIG one yesterday. Also played with my anubius today. Anytime I have tested water or even took in to be tested if I was out of tests it has always come out perfect. But as I said I've had to slack off a bit and it sucks but everyone has survived me but for the newcomer. I figured it was smy fault but wanted to be certain it wasn't betta.Define busy ~

Perhaps you should postpone big decisions until you've delivered? Being pregnant can be hard and stressful work.
A common cause of losing bristlenose is that they stop eating in transit. Cutting an anubias rhyzome can release some juices which are big trouble to shrimp, don't know if ancistrus are sensitive to it as well.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

The spinal vertebrae are separated by cartilage disks. The cartilage disks are filled with a gelatinous substance, which provide cushioning to the spinal column.
A herniated disk occurs when the soft, gelatinous center of an intervertebral disk (nucleus pulposus) is forced through a weakened part of the disk. This results in back pain and nerve-root irritation.
The hip bones are a good source for bone grafts. They regenerate quickly and do not bear a lot of weight. While you are deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made over the crest of the hip bone. A piece of bone is removed, and the incision is stitched (sutured) closed. Some discomfort is felt in this area.
The bone graft is used to fill in a defect in the bone, or fuse a fracture or joint. An incision is made over the bone defect, and the bone graft is shaped around and inserted into the defect. The graft is held in place with pins, plates, or screws. The incisions are stitched (sutured) closed. A splint or cast is used to prevent injury or movement while healing.
Most bone grafts are successful in helping the bone defect to heal. There is little risk of graft rejection. Vigorous exercise is restricted for up to three months.

Fantasy Week 3 picks
Posted on 24 Sep 2010 by David Willow.
We're coming up in week 3 and there have been more injuries and a few intriguing match ups this week. Most of you will probably run your obvious number 1s like Adrian Peterson at Detroit or Andre Johnson at Dallas and take advantage of good match ups. Here are a few players to target that may be under the radar. Run them is you got them Mike Tolbert – If you were able to pick him up off o...

A rich creamy frosting with apple and cinnamon flavors nestles between two melt-in-your-mouth cookies for a sandwich cookie favorite.
Why it Works: The Way the Cookie Crumbles
Cookies taste great the day they are made; maintaining their taste and texture for another day is often a challenge. Sometimes after storing, crisp cookies become soft and chewy, and chewy cookies get hard. The culprit behind this texture change is water. Many ingredients in your kitchen love to absorb water. Even when baked into a cookie, these ingredients continue to absorb water from the air or from other cookies. There are ways around this. Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container (if warm, condensation builds and is reabsorbed by the cookie) and separate soft and crisp cookies (the water from the chewy cookies will move to the crisp, drying the soft cookies and softening the crisp ones). In this recipe you are filling a crisp cookie with a wet filling. No matter how hard you try, some of that water will move from the filling to the cookie. So plan on serving them as soon as possible after filling.

Ron Hynes has been blessed with an emotionally rich voice, now under threat from cancer treatments he must undergo. The voice that carried a thousand songs may never be the same.
What is the importance of that voice, and his particular style of Newfoundland music?
A quick walk through Fred's Records may tell you.
There are dozens of Newfoundland artists today — Amelia Curran, Erin Best and The Dardanelles, to name a few — still lighting and carrying a torch for The Rock, still blending themes of love and loss with the sound of the sea — a sound we know, and that is known the world over as ours.
This was something Ron talked about in an interview he did many years ago. At the time, his view that the artists of this province are our greatest resource may have seemed overly dramatic. But his words have stood the test of time.
Back in April 2000 when he talked of being an influence on younger artists, he said, "I'm glad to help them because I want to see music and its ongoing creativity sustained in the province of Newfoundland."
"We have nothing else," he continued.
"They can get as good doctors here as anywhere in the world. But they will never get the artists or musicians that grow up in this province. Because they are really unique artists. So I want to see that survive."
The genius of Ron Hynes is his openness. In his music, in conversation, in interviews, you may not like everything he says, but you are stunned and awed by the way he says it.
The outpouring of support for him now with concerts and tributes is not really surprising. Ron had his rise through the St. John's music scene. He had his fall, and he had his rise and rise again.
He won us over.
He was like us — living here, loving here, screwing up, then winning. Somehow he was able to constantly put it all to music that became iconic.
He can make you cry over his child's dog ("A Good Dog is Lost"), and find comfort after a suicide ("Godspeed").
The idea that his voice may be taken from us, well, it is unthinkable. But of course we have the recordings. We have "House" and "Constance" and "Sonny's Dream," and just about a thousand more, all waiting to take us on that bumpy, exhilarating, one-way trip to "Cryer's Paradise."
Ron's music is not for the weak-spirited. But then again, nothing that comes out of The Rock ever is, or could be.
In 2000 he said, "I'm not what's important. The song is what's important. Songs are about communication. You have to get something, you know?"
We know, Ron. Thanks.
Get better soon.

Uwe Werner S/N Seascape Print, "Sheer Power"
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
Artist: Uwe Werner
Title: Sheer Power
Year: 1980
Medium: Lithograph, signed and numbered in pencil
Edition: 300
Paper Size: 25" x 19"
Uwe Werner is a multi-faceted artist whose work ranges from nonsubjective to realistic. Although he paints the pristine clarity of northern forests and lakes as well as the southern and regions, his greatest reputation lies in his realistic portrayals of the many moods of the sea which express his personal fondness for this sometimes malevolent, mostly benevolent power of nature.
"I feel the sea is so continually changing in its temperament; one need never paint the same scene twice. It can be warm, cool, stormy, calm or countless combinations of these moods."
Whether Uwe paints animals, seascapes, or children, he always conveys a sense of love and appreciation for his subjects and their individual personalities.
Uwe's paintings are widely collected throughout the world and have been exhibited in prominent galleries in Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas; Fort Smith, Arkansas; Scottsdale, Arizona; Seattle, Washington; Los Angeles, San Diego, Beverly Hills, La Jolla and Uwe's own gallery in Coronado, California.
Born in Koblenz, Germany in 1942, Uwe settled in Tacoma, Washington after coming to the United States. He studied fine arts at PLU in Tacoma, as well as at the University of Washington in Seattle, from which he received his degree in art.
His work has received national and local recognition in magazines and newspapers; it was featured in Southwest Art magazine in 1979. One critic stated "Werner brings sophistication to the seascape." Uwe doesn't present the stereotype decorator marine scene; his direction lies in the moods that speak to the viewer's realm of experience. His 'Feeding the Gulls' 16x22 Mixed Media Print paintings are sought-after by art enthusiasts who wish to acquire a marine scene for their collections.

Look out honey cuz I'm using technology! We're pulling this throwback classic out of the Phoenix Phlipcam vaults in nervous anticipation of THE SCROOGES -- the only all-Santa Stooges cover band, maybe in the world! -- decking our halls tomorrow night at the Lansdowne Pub for the WFNX Holiday party. Dave Unger and his merry band of musical misfits have been doing the Scrooges every December since 2001, and this appearance with us will be one of the street-walking Santas only gigs this year.
MEAN CREEK, whose Youth Companion was just named Album of the Year in the 2012 Boston Music Awards, and THE FIELD EFFECT, the Phoenix's first What's F'N Next band to come out of Boston, are also on the bill. Mean Creek will perform a full set, just off the road from the Counting Crows national tour, and the Field Effect will do a rendition of their cover of WHAM's "Last Christmas," which is featured on this week's downloadable playlist.
Last Christmas by The Field Effect
We'll also have giveaways, from concert tickets to a guest slot hosting your own WFNX show, and DJ sets from KNIFE (Good Life Boston) and myself (the pill) and Mike Gioscia (formerly of X-Nite and WFNX nmorning host).
Of course, the whole thing is FREE with your RSVP. Ho, ho, whoa.

My fall season has been chopped up with work and judging commitments, but many of the trials I run this time of year are smaller than usual.

~Rex Carr
I noticed generally smaller Amateur stakes and normal (large) Open stakes this summer in Minnesota/Wisconsin/Dakotas. Maybe economy/gas prices affecting amateurs more than pros? One exception was 75-dog Amat at Chippewa a couple of weeks ago, but this was on grounds to be used by 2013 National Amateur, so may have contributed to some extra entries for a look-see at the "Swiss Alps" terrain near Mondovi, WI!
May you pin all the marks and line the blinds
On the smaller FT entries, how many of those Amateurs are running the MNH or Grand? Some people do cross venues, Some FT Pros even cross venues. Couldn't that be a factor in the lower entries? 700-1000+ dogs heading to the deep south, you can't tell me some of them don't run trials. Hard to be training for and running trials, if your looking for a MNH or Grand pass this month, they are very different styles to focus on.

It used to be that when you referred to a "server," you were talking about a physical computer, that was usually a very large machine. This server could handle both incoming and outgoing requests, and had a connection to the Internet that was required to run other websites. Today these physical servers are still available; and necessary in many instances. But other times, a virtual server can be more beneficial, and less costly. These are called virtual private servers, or VPS, and they're becoming very popular. But just how does VPS work? Continue reading

Nicholas Mosse
Measurements: 10 in diameter. What happens when you take a plate and turn it into a clock? This little charmer is what happens. Big hands tell you the time instantly and in the prettiest way possible. We might as well enjoy the passing of time, especially looking at the beautiful Old Rose pattern.
An established best seller for Nicholas Mosse, Old Rose is featured on the cover of his book, inIrish Country. in Its generous scale and exuberant colors have proven irresistible to many Ann Marie's customers. I f ind that blending Old Rose with other patterns works just beautifully. On my first travel to Ireland, it was a t iny jug in Old Rose that I came home with and is still my favorite. ~ Ann Marie
Nicholas Mosse Pottery was established by Nicholas Mosse in 1976 after periods of tra ining in England and Japan. His mission was to produce beautiful, functional pottery in the style of Irish Spongeware. Irish spongeware was the traditional pottery of Ireland used in the 18th Century. It was ma inly made in simple honest shapes with a decoration applied with a cut sponge. The decoration was rurally inspired often using images of animals and plants popular in the region. Nicholas Mosse Pottery now produce an extensive range of patterns and shapes all still made and decorated by hand.

The Hwy. 15 Rivalry just got bigger.
New Albany and Ripley will no longer get to face off in the football season opener but the matchup became more important as both teams will now be in the same division.
The Mississippi High School Activities Association, as expected, released its 2013-2015 reclassification list early Friday.
One team moving up was Ripley, from Class 3A to 4A. Schools in the state's six classes are placed based on enrollment in grades 9-through-12. Schools have five days to appeal.
"It was already a big deal for us and now it puts even more at stake," said New Albany coach Ron Price. "It's been our opening game, so we hate to lose that aspect of it, but it becomes a very important football game with it being a district game, too."
North Pontotoc goes from one of the state's smallest Class 4A schools to one of the largest 3As. The Vikings will play in 1-3A.
"It's going to help us on the money side more than anything else," North football coach Brian Sutton said. "We've played in that division before and it's good football. We were doing a lot of traveling."
Division 2-3A has only one remaining member, Water Valley. Three of the six former teams – Aberdeen, Nettleton and South Pontotoc join Louisville and Kemper County in 4-3A. Mantachie moved down to a new look 1-2A in a division that lost Bruce, Calhoun City and Okolona to a strong 4-2A with Ackerman, Eupora and East Webster.
Plenty of teams stayed in their class but switched divisions – which affects more than football.
There was a change for Tupelo baseball. The Golden Wave remain in 2-6A but trade Columbus for Class 5A North champion Hernando.
Tupelo Christian will no longer be in a football division, going independent. The school's other sports will compete in 4-1A.
Smithville has won the last 1A two slow-pitch titles and last season's fast-pitch championship and now has a Monroe County rival to deal with, as Class 2A slow-pitch champion Hamilton moves to Division 4-1A.
"We'll have two state champions in the same division in slow pitch. That'll be interesting, and I think it will help us in football," Hamilton slow-pitch and baseball coach Lewis Earnest said.

Viva finds out more about some of our Maori winemakers.
Looking at the sheer number of local wine labels using Maori names and imagery, it's easy to assume that tangata whenua are well-represented in our wine industry. But in fact you can count true Maori-run wine companies on the fingers of one hand. So why are Maori so under-represented?
It doesn't appear to be due to any significant cultural incompatibility.
"We've got a strong background as fishermen and gardeners, with the gardening easily transposed into the new industry of wine," observes Ropata Taylor of Tohu, which was for many years New Zealand's only Maori-run wine business.
Taylor describes how planting vineyards was a natural progression given the location of the iwi's land in the upper South Island.
"We're in the business of maintaining and developing our land," he explains, "and this is located in winegrowing areas which grow some of New Zealand's finest wines. Wine is such a visible part of our local economy, which is the reason we became involved in it."
However, he acknowledges that at present Maori organisations across the country tend to be involved in the more traditional industries, such as dairy, sheep and beef or pastoral farming. At present Tohu is the only wine company owned by a tribal group.
"A lot of Maori just don't own large parcels of land here in Marlborough," notes Haysley MacDonald, who launched his te Pa label last year and can trace his heritage back to the Rangitane tribe which settled on the Wairau Bar 800 years ago. "We're one of the fortunate ones who've stayed here all these generations, and will continue to stay here."
One sensitive issue is the use of Maori names and imagery on pakeha products: so sensitive, that Tiki's Royce Kean was initially reticent about embracing a Maori name for his own label despite being of Maori descent.
He initially considered the name Tiki too precious to use, only changing his mind when the winery converted to organics and after putting it before his whanau and a Maori committee for approval.
"Tiki is an important symbol of good luck in New Zealand and the Pacific," notes McKean. "We wanted to be respectful and not turn it into some tacky Maoriana given the considerable emotional attachment people have to it."
This widespread use of Maori names is something of a double-edged sword for Taylor. "If it doesn't reflect the values of a producer and there's superficiality behind their appropriation of Maori cultural property for promotion, then that's disingenuous," he says.
However, if it is used respectfully, Taylor regards the adoption of te reo by the wine industry in the naming of its products as positive and something indicative of a nation gaining a greater sense of self.
"It's timely as we're growing up and becoming much more comfortable with who we are as a south Pacific nation," he notes. "And the wine industry is no different: it's simply reflecting the transformation of the society at large"
MacDonald agrees: "If indigenous names are used properly by local companies and they do all the right things by it, then it's great and is about embracing Maori culture."
However, he'd still like to see more Maori in the wine industry. "There have been several tribes who have jumped in and out of the wine business and it would be nice to see more Maori-owned businesses," he says.
"At the end of the day te Pa was something I wanted to do for our family," MacDonald states. "We have our own identity and story to tell. There's no one here who has a story like ours."
Three great wines from our true Maori labels:
Tohu Single Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011 $19.95
Notes of gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf and cut grass are wound around the tight and zesty core of citrus and mineral in this stylish sauvignon from Tohu's Awatere Valley vineyard. (From Liquorland, New World, First Glass, Fine Wine Delivery Company.)
Te Pa Marlborough Pinot Noir 2011 $32.95-$34.95
Te Pa only started releasing wines under its own label from the 2011 vintage. Its sauvignon was stellar and its first pinot shows plenty of promise in its silky palate of tangy cherry plum fruit with rich notes of chocolate and spice. (From Caro's, Liquor King, Point Wines.)
Maui Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011 $16.95
A great value sauvignon from Tiki's second label, Maui, with lots of juicy upfront mandarin, lime and passionfruit and a surprising intensity for a wine at this price. (From First Glass, Glengarry, Farro Fresh, Mairangi Bay Fine Wines, Liquorland Forrest Hill, Bacchus.)
