I purchased a 4" earth auger from eBay to find my drainfield piping. I coupled my drill motor to the auger with this pipe. I drilled a 3/8" hole on one end for the auger drive pin and welded a 1/2" drill rod for the motor end. Easy find, under 3 feet of sand!Read full review

Book stores fight for survival in Lake County
Sue Boucher, who owns the Lake Forest Book Store, poses for a portrait at her shop on Feb. 5. | Curtis Lehmkuhl~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 19, 2013 8:00AM
According to Barnes & Noble, the company has no plans at this time to close its locations in Lincolnshire and Vernon Hills.
That's good news because other than those two stores, there are few other places in the area to buy books.
The national book, CD and DVD giant caused a stir last week when reports surfaced that it planned to close approximately 200 of its 689 stores in the next 10 years. Barnes & Noble said those reports reflected the average number of unprofitable stores the company already close annually.
But the idea of Vernon Hills or Lincolnshire losing its primary book stores still stirred up concern from residents.
Mary Ellen Keating, Barnes & Noble spokesperson, said local readers had nothing to fear.
"We have no plans to close stores in Illinois," she wrote in an e-mail on Friday.
And though the chain is moving steadily toward online sales — shoppers at both local locations are greeted by numerous large signs promoting the company's Nook e-reader — Lake County's demographics is helping the two locations survive, Keating said,
Partly because there is little competition. Buffalo Grove has no big-box bookstores, and the only independently owned new-book seller in the area is located in Lake Forest.
Sue Boucher, owner of the Lake Forest Book Store, said she works diligently to extend her operation's presence beyond her 1,800-square-foot store at 680 N. Western Ave. The key to that, she said, is the programs she sponsors at the Vernon Area Public Library, among other numerous events.
"We have made partnerships with many libraries in Lake County, and several in Cook," she said. "We've found that all these different libraries have different markets.
"What we've done," Boucher said, "is figure out other places to sell books."
The question that remains, though, is how much appetite Lake County will have for hard-copy books going forward.
Officials at the Buffalo Grove Area Chamber of Commerce lamented the loss in recent years of Books Again, formerly in the Town Center, and Half-Price Books, which closed at the intersection of state Route 22 and Buffalo Grove Road.
Boucher noted that, with every small store that goes under, Barnes & Noble and Amazon gain more control of the market — and the five major publishers.
"It affects the business of book-selling," she said. "The less outlets there are for books, the less books are going to get published."
But while the big suppliers move more toward digital books on their own e-readers, Boucher said she still sees a future in the hard copy. She sells a few digital copies on her website, but does much of her business by bringing in authors for face-to-face interactions with readers. Old-fashioned marketing can still thrive in Lake County, she said.
"That's the plan," she said. "I think independents are feeling a lot more positive. We'll just work hard at it."

Yellow Bird Yellow Bird is a lovely, spacious one bedroom detatched house, overlooking the Caribbean Sea at Oualie Bay, Nevis. The house is slightly elevated, being built into the steep lower slopes of Round Hill. Nestled into a half acre private, mature garden with a private pool, sundecks and balcony, there are magnificent views across the 'Narrows' towards the south east peninsular of St Kitts. Oualie Bay Beach is directly opposite Yellow Bird and access is a mere 4 minute stroll from the garden gate. Oualie Beach is quiet and sheltered with superb swimming. Many of the island's beach activities are located at Oualie including PADI diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and sunfish sailing. The Oualie Bay Beach Hotel has a very good restaurant and small bar, popular on Saturday evenings when it hosts to a traditional Nevisian String Band. Yellow Bird is fun and cosy, very spacious, light and bright. Perfect for couples and honeymooners, with plenty of privacy and seclusion without being too isolated.Oualie BayOualie Bay is located on the north eastern coast of Nevis. It has a very sheltered crescent shaped beach, tucked between Hurricane Hill to the east and Tamarind Point to the west. It is a pretty, scenic, hilly area with just one small beach hotel, bar and restaurant. The other properties are private villas, hugging the coast and built into the lush hillside. Oualie Beach, Nevis is directly opposite Turtle Beach, St Kitts and a small jetty at Oualie is anchor to the small charter boats and water taxis that make the crossing between the two islands. There are lots of activities to seek out near the beach but it remains a quiet, unspoilt sunspot. To the east of Oualie Bay is Lovers Beach, which at about a half an hours walk away is an almost deserted, undeveloped stretch of much wilder, Atlantic shoreline. Cades Bay and Pinneys to the south are also beautiful Caribbean side beaches, with a few bars and the largest hotel on the island, The Four Seasons.NevisNevis is the smaller of the two island federation of St Kitts and Nevis. The islands are part of the Leeward Island chain and are blessed with a near perfect climate. Rarely exceeding late 80's farenheight and rarely dropping below mid 70's, the islands are constantly cooled by seabreezes and tradewinds.Rainfall is plentifull, particularly in autumn months, making the islands lush and tropical. The beaches on the north and western coasts are fine white and golden sand and have very good swimming.The conical peak of Mount Nevis rises to over 6000 feet, with rainforest above the 2000 feet contour. Originally inhabited first by the Arawaks and then by the Caribs, Nevis's population is now predominantly Afro Caribbean, people whose ancestors settled following Emancipation.In colonial days, Nevis had many sugar plantations and was home to some of the most beautiful great houses in the region and was known at 'The Queen of the Caribees'.Many of these houses still survive as luxury Plantation House Hotels, whilst others now lie in graceful ruin, some even reputedly haunted such as Eden Brown. There are also still refinery ruins, dating back hundreds of years such as the strange, quiet machinery works at the New River Estate.Today, Nevis is still beautiful and remains unspoiled for the most part. It is a very relaxed, friendly island and all visitors are warmly welcomed.
This is the exact location
Outside this Self catering villa in Nevis, United Kingdom

The red alarm deadline to raise the debt ceiling could be as soon as Feb. 15 -- but no later than March 1, according to the latest estimate from the Bipartisan Policy Center.
If Congress misses that deadline, the Treasury Department will be forced to make legally questionable, no-win decisions on how to honor the tens of millions of bills owed every month.
The federal government hit its legal borrowing limit of $16.394 trillion on Dec. 31, and has begun taking "extraordinary measures." The Bipartisan Policy Center's estimate indicates when the Treasury will only be able to pay bills with the daily revenue coming in.
Problem is, there likely would be less revenue coming in than has to be paid out for each of the days between Feb. 15 and March 15.
On Feb. 15, for instance, Treasury will take in an estimated $9 billion in revenue but is committed to pay out $52 billion.
The bills due that day include $30 billion in interest on the debt; $6.8 billion in IRS refunds; $3.5 billion in federal salaries and benefits; $2.7 billion in military active pay; $2.3 billion in Medicare and Medicaid payments; $1.5 billion to defense vendors; $1.1 billion in safety net spending, including for food stamps and unemployment benefits; and $4.4 billion in other spending.
On March 1, Treasury will take in an estimated $20 billion in revenue. But that won't be enough to cover the $25 billion in Social Security payments due that day, let alone the $58 billion in other bills.
Republicans say they won't raise the debt ceiling unless Democrats commit to substantial spending cuts. And some say that the country can avoid technical default so long as Treasury prioritizes interest payments owed to U.S. bond investors over everyone else.
While that may be possible, it could get ugly fast. And there's no predicting how markets and others would respond if the federal government stops paying what it legally owes to everyone except bond investors.
Prioritizing interest payments means Treasury must choose from more than 100 million monthly payments and would not be able to pay 40% of the dollars owed.

Civil Rights Movement
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s represented the apex of a centuries-long struggle to overcome America's legacy of racial discrimination. During this defining period in the nation's history, what initially began as a modest effort to dismantle "Jim Crow" laws in the segregationist South quickly developed into a massive popular movement with a wide range of social, political, and economic goals. Though victories often came at a tremendous price, and at times proved elusive, adherents to this Movement eventually succeeded in reforming many of the formal and informal mechanisms underlying African-American oppression. Since it touched virtually every aspect of American life, the Civil Rights Movement is an ideal subject for scholars in almost any field. Whether you're a student of law, political science, history, economics, cultural studies, literature, or any other social science, there's an aspect of the Movement that's ripe for your research.
Contents |
Research Basics
Fortunately, when researching the Civil Rights Movement you'll discover a tremendous amount of resources available on the subject. In fact, there is so much information that it could easily be a little overwhelming. So, before you begin, it's important to devise a strategy for success and not a recipe for frustration. Take a few minutes to brainstorm about your topic and clarify exactly what it is you want to learn. Remember, focus is the key to effective research!
Though your particular needs will vary, you may want to consider researching subjects in one or more of the following categories:
- Individuals: Martin Luther King, Jr., W.E.B. DuBois, A. Phillip Randolph, Malcolm X, Julian Bond, James Meredith, Emmitt Till, Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Bayard Rustin, Stokely Carmichael, Ella Baker, Medgar Evars, etc.
- Legislation and Court Cases: Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, Equal Employment Opportunity Act, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education,etc.
- Events: Birmingham Bus Boycott, Freedom Summer, March on Washington, Freedom Rides, etc.
- Policies and Concepts: Affirmative Action, Segregation, Integration, Discrimination in Employment, Discrimination in Housing, etc.
- Organizations: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), etc.
- Government Entities: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Department of Justice, etc.
Once you've clearly defined your topic, all that's left is to construct your search criteria. The following sections will guide you through that process in various LexisNexis products: showing you how to find the material that is of interest to you (and how to avoid the material that isn't!)
Using LexisNexis
A great place to begin your research of the Civil Rights Movement is in LexisNexis Academic: a tremendous resource with access to national and international news publications, academic journals, legal reviews, and more. You can use the drop-down bar on the search page to select one or more of these sources to search in, or simply leave it to the default and look in them all. If you want to look in a specific source, such as The New York Times, you can do that too! A similar drop-down allows you to narrow your search to a specific time period, which can be particularly helpful if you are especially interested in either historical or contemporary material on your topic. If the publication date doesn't matter to you, or you simply want to cast as wide a net as possible, select the option to search all available dates.
While choosing where you research is important, the most critical part of your search criteria is defining exactly what it is you're looking for. If you're researching something relatively obscure, such as a lesser known civil rights figure or organization, using one term may provide a sufficiently targeted result. However, if you're interested in a broader topic, a single term strategy should probably be avoided. A simple search for "Martin Luther King" or "NAACP", for example, will yield thousands of results! So be sure to think about ways you can combine terms to refine your search.
The simplest way to do this in Academic is by using Boolean operators in PowerSearch. Through Boolean searching you can combine terms in a wide variety of ways: constructing a search that is tailor made to fit your needs. The three most common and useful Boolean operators are AND, OR, and NOT:
- AND: Combining terms using "AND" is a great way to narrow your Civil Rights search criteria since many of the terms you may be interested in would produce too many results if used individually. For example, if you wanted to find material exploring Malcolm X's views on non-violence, running a search for just "Malcolm X" or "non-violence" would identify hundreds if not thousands of resources, most of which would not address your subject specifically. However, searching for "Malcolm X AND non-violence" will cut down on some of that extraneous material by showing you only those resources which contain both of your terms.
- OR: The "OR" operator can also be a valuable search tool when researching the Civil Rights Movement. If you're interested in multiple perspectives on a subject the "OR" command can help you find the material you want in a single search. For example, if you'd like information addressing either Malcolm X's or Elijah Muhammad's views on non-violence, the "OR" operator offers that flexibility. The "OR" operator can also be a tremendous help when searching for subjects that can be expressed in different ways. Sometimes this might be as simple as accommodating differences in spelling or punctuation, such as "non-violence" or "nonviolence," other times it might be something more significant. For example, "discrimination in housing" is sometimes referred to as "redlining," so if you were interested in that subject you might want to run a search that looked for either of those terms. Some other topics and their alternative expressions are "school integration" and "school busing;" "non-violence" and "passive resistance;" "segregation" and "Jim Crow;" and "racism," "racial discrimination," and "prejudice." So before running a search, think about the different language that might be used to describe your topic and how you might use the "OR" operator to get the most out of your research.
- NOT: Finally, the "NOT" operator can also be a great addition to refining any search. Remember, sometimes defining what you don't want to find is as important as clarifying what you do! For example, when searching for information on Martin Luther King, you may not be interested to material related to the federal holiday established in his name. Depending on what sources you're investigating, you might want to limit you search to "Martin Luther King NOT holiday."
In addition to Boolean searching, LexisNexis also offers you the option of using the Power Search function to conduct research through index terms. This is a great way of narrowing your search criteria and can be used in conjunction with Boolean searching. Some index terms you might consider using when researching the Civil Rights Movement include:
- Civil Rights
- Race & Racism
- Racial Discrimination in Employment
- Human Rights & Civil Liberties Law
- African Americans
- Voters & Voting
- Affirmative Action
Another great source for Civil Rights research is LexisNexis Congressional which offers access to Congressional Hearings, House and Senate documents and reports, legislative histories, Congressional Research Service reports and more. As in Academic, you can search in as few or as many of these sources as you wish: simply select or deselect the source type you want by clicking the box next to it. Again, you can also restrict your search according to date via a drop-down bar or simply select the "all available dates" option to search without limits.
- REMEMBER: While narrowing your search by date can be an effective strategy, you should always bear in mind that the wheels of government at times move slowly. For example, if you wanted to find historical information on the Congressional response to Martin Luther King's 1968 assassination, you might be tempted to restrict your search to the late 1960s. However, if you did, you'd miss out on the House Select Committee on Assassinations' 13 volume investigation into the event: a report that wasn't complete until 1979! So, if you're unsure when your desired material might be published, be flexible and look at a broader range of dates.
In terms of creating the content of your search, Congressional--like Academic--offers you the option of searching with Boolean operators. If you have multiple terms you want to connect this way, place each term in a separate dialogue box and use the drop-down bar to choose the operators you want to use. As you do this, you will notice that Congressional also offers you the option of limiting where it searches for your particular terms: looking as broadly as the full text document or as narrowly as the title (or any thing in between!) By choosing your desired range from the drop-down menu, you can refine your search to best suit your needs.
In addition to basic Boolean searching, Congressional also allows you to construct search criteria using index terms. To add this element to your search, simply click on the blue "index terms" link on the search page and start making your selections. Some index terms you might consider using when researching the Civil Rights Movement include:
- Civil rights
- Voting rights
- Prejudice
- Discrimination
- Racial discrimination
- Discrimination in education
- Discrimination in employment
- Discrimination in housing
- Discrimination in public facilities
- Black Panthers
- Black nationalism
- Black Americans
- Abolitionist movement
- Commission on Civil Rights
- Department of Justice
- Civil Rights Division, Justice Dept.
UPA Collections
Another fantastic resource for Civil Rights Movement research is the UPA microfilm collection. Whether you want to read Martin Luther King's FBI file or leaf through the papers of the NAACP, this archive of primary historical documents is a must-see for any serious Civil Rights scholar. The extensive user-guides offer detailed information of the contents of each collection, so you'll always be able to find what you're looking for. Just a few of the great Civil Rights Movement resources in UPA include:
- Department of Justice Classified Subject Files on Civil Rights, 1914-1949
- President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights
- Civil Rights During the Kennedy Administration Part 1 and Part 2

So take the plunge and learn a new skill, the resources you find will make it completely worth the effort!

Flyover causes unease for some; solutions in the works
By Chris Roark, firstname.lastname@example.com
The new flyover in Flower Mound was designed to relieve traffic heading southbound on Gerault Road onto southbound FM 2499.
And with the completion of the project last month, motorists can now bypass the traffic signal at the intersection and transition onto southbound FM 2499.
However, some residents say that transition is not a smooth one.
Online postings from various residents have echoed Lamb�s concerns.
Flower Mound police have said there have been no crashes at that merging point since the flyover opened Aug. 17.
Still, there are multiple efforts underway to address that intersection.
�We�re hoping to get there, but it�s just taken a while,� said Edith Marvin town engineer.
One effort involves the DFW Connector project, a $1 billion expansion of state highways 114 and 121 north of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Construction on the DFW Connector project began in February 2010 and will be substantially complete in mid-summer 2013.
The DFW Connector project�s original scope, related to FM 2499, included grade separations at two of the three signals south of Flower Mound � Stars and Stripes Way and Grapevine Mills Boulevard � to allow drivers to bypass the signals. Because of limited funding, these grade separations are not a part of the project�s current plans.
Matt Hotelling, the town�s traffic engineer, said the town is working with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to attempt to identify funding for improvements to FM 2499 farther north than the connector project goes, closer to Gerault.
That could do multiple things, Hotelling said. For one, it would create the possibility of reconfiguring and/or removing the traffic signal at the intersection of FM 2499 and Riverwalk Drive in Grapevine.
The signal is there to allow residents at the Riverwalk Apartments to exit south onto FM 2499.
�Part of the problem is that the traffic signal at the Riverwalk Apartments is inhibiting traffic flow,� Marvin said.
As soon as motorists get onto FM 2499 from the flyover, they face a traffic light at the entrance of Grapevine city limits, as well as a merging spot that one Flower Mound resident recently described as �clumsy.�
Bringing FM 2499 work farther north could also create an extended off ramp from the flyover to southbound FM 2499.
Stretching into Flower Mound was never part of the project, said Kristen Schropp, DFW Connector spokeswoman.
But having a dedicated lane from the flyover feed into the grade separations at Stars and Stripes and Grapevine Mills was part of Flower Mound�s vision. When the segment north of Grapevine Mills was not approved, Flower Mound had already gone forward with the flyover.
Another option, Marvin said, is the town working with TxDOT to get permission to transition the outermost southbound lane on southbound FM 2499 to move from three lanes to two lanes before reaching the flyover merge, thus giving motorists coming off the flyover a dedicated lane.
�Many people are learning to get over one lane anyway,� Marvin said. �But it could be done better. It�s not a dead issue. We�re still working on it.�
Marvin said the reason for this option is because 40 percent of the cars that are at that merge come from Gerault.
Hotelling said the timeframe for both options varies.
�Working with TxDOT, that could possibly be a near-term solution,� Hotelling said. �But it could be more than a year. This would be an interim solution until the DFW Connector is extended.�
Extending the DFW Connector project farther north won�t be as easy, he said.
�That�s more long-term,� Hotelling said. �That�s not going to be next year because the FM 2499 portion through Grapevine is not funded with this current project.�
Lamb said she hopes the issue is resolved quickly because of the possible approval of the Lakeside DFW mixed-use project proposed about a mile north of that intersection.
�I would like them to get this resolved before they do something that is going to add even more traffic,� said Lamb, who added that Lakeside DFW could bring in more than 2,000 residential units.
The flyover was part of Phase I of the Morriss/Gerault Road Improvement Project approved by the town council in 2009. The scope of Phase I also included the expansion of Gerault Road from four lanes to six lanes, intersection safety improvements, as well as fencing and landscaping along Morriss and Gerault roads.
Gerault Road�s portion of the project is complete, but Morriss Road, or Phase II, won�t be begin until 2019 or until the river walk amenity of The River Walk at Central Park development in central Flower Mound is complete.
The project was brought forward to help relieve expected traffic congestion on FM 2499 and Morriss Road by 2020.
Officials predicted FM 2499 will have an increase in traffic, in part because the road will expand north and connect to Interstate 35E near Lewisville Lake.
Officials said Morriss Road, as a result, would pick up much of the traffic from FM 2499, thus adding to its traffic load as well.

Banff National Park
Banff National Park lies in the region of the glaciated Rocky Mountain ridge east of the continental watershed and about 130 km (80 mi.) west of Calgary.In the north it adjoins Jasper National Park, with which it is linked by the unique Icefields Parkway, and in the west it runs into the Yoho and Kootenay National Park.Banff National Park is one of Canada's greatest tourist attractions.
Together with its three neighbouring parks it has been included since 1985 in UNESCO's list of protected natural and cultural monuments. Banff National Park forms part of the main Rocky Mountain ridge east of the continental watershed and the Front Range which falls away steeply to the Great Plain, and in this park alone there are two dozen peaks of more than 3000 m (9850 ft). Millions of visitors a year are fascinated by the picturesque turquoise mountain lakes mirroring the snow-covered peaks, glaciers and mountain forests, by the luxuriant mountain meadows in early summer and the impressive waterfalls, charming streams, lonely highland valleys and areas of quiet and untamed natural scenery only a few hundred metres from the main roads.The town of Banff, with its hot springs, is the only township in the park. The Icefields Parkway, which winds for 230 km (143 mi.) through the 3000-4000 m (10,000-13,000 ft) high mountains, connects Banff with the numerous sights and Jasper National Park to the north. The highlights of this impressive journey along the Parkway are the world-famous Lake Louise, in whose ice-cold waters under a deep-blue sky are reflected the surrounding mountains, the aristocratic-looking Canadian Pacific Hotel "Château Lake Louise", and the huge Columbia Icefield.At any time of the year this national park offers good facilities for sport and leisure: there are mountain tours on foot and on horseback, "back-packing" (a licence being required for trips lasting several days), golf courses and tennis courts, "river rafting" on the Bow River or peaceful canoe trips on one of the beautiful lakes.Typical of this section of the Rocky Mountains, there are marked seasonal differences depending on the height. The town of Banff itself, one of the lowest places in the national park, lies about 1400 m (4600 ft) above sea-level.Winters are generally long and minimum temperatures below -30°C (-22°F) are not uncommon. In January the average maximum temperatures are -7°C (19°F), the minima being -16°C (3°F). The relatively cool summers are short, although brief periods when the temperature rises as high as 30°C (86°F) are not unknown. In July and August average daily maxima of more than 20°C (68°F) and minima of some 7°C (45°F) are attained.In the long valleys in the lee of the high mountain chains annual rainfall amounts are very small, being only 380 mm (15 in.), while in the continental water-shed region they may measure more than 1250 mm (50 in.). The best months for travelling are July and August, but in view of the crowds of tourists at that time it may be better to go earlier in the year or in September.Man settled in the great valleys 11,000 years ago, as is shown by excavations made at Vermilion Lakes near Banff. When the first Europeans arrived Stoney and Kootenay Indians as well as members of the Blackfoot tribes already lived and hunted here.Banff's first "tourist" was undoubtedly Sir George Simpson who in 1841, when Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, accompanied by an Indian guide on one of his inspection trips crossed the Bow River to what is now the town of Banff and passed over the Rocky Mountains along a pass since named after him. After that fur-hunters roved through the present national park.In 1883 the Canadian Pacific Railway reached Banff, then prosaically known simply as "Siding 29", and Lake Louise. In the same year railroad workers seeking minerals stumbled across the hot sulphur springs at Cave & Basin Springs, where initially the railroad workers and subsequently rheumatism sufferers from all over the world came to seek relief. Disputes as to ownership of the springs led in 1885 to the establishment of the Hot Springs Reserve at the foot of Sulphur Mountain. Two years later Rocky Mountains Park was laid out, from which sprang the Banff National Park in 1930.The opening of the railroad brought settlers and tourists to the mountain valley. In 1888 the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) opened the Banff Springs Hotel, followed by the Château Lake Louise in 1890. In 1899 the CPR hired Swiss mountain guides to take tourists up the peaks in the park. By the turn of the century Banff was able to boast more than eight luxury hotels.As the CPR had a monopoly of entrance to the park it was 1911 before the increasingly popular motor car could bring people in. Then from 1920 until 1940, roads were built to Lake Louise, Radium Hot Springs and Jasper. Around 1930 a start was made on building the first ski huts. Today there are excellent ski slopes to be found on Mount Norquay in Banff, in Sunshine Village 17 km (11 mi.) west of Banff and on the slopes of Mount Whitehorn near Lake Louise.Finds of minerals - copper, coal, zinc and lead - in Bow River Valley led to the establishment, albeit short-lived, of mining camps. From 1881 to 1886 the mining town of Silver City existed at the foot of Castle Mountain, but when the copper supply became exhausted it quickly disappeared. Then coal was found 6 km (4 mi.) east of Banff, but the mine closed down around the turn of the century. A further example of a short-lived coal town is Bankhead 6 km (4 mi.) north of Banff. Coal was mined here for a few years after 1905; the remains of the settlement can still be seen today.In the 1930s the authorities put a stop to the mining of minerals and commercial tree-felling in the park. Up to 1915 railroad workers and at times more than 10,000 miners seriously decimated the original giant herds of wild animals, including elk, mountain sheep, caribou and mountain goats, so hunting was banned and rangers employed. Today, however, the authorities try to interfere as little as possible in the natural way of things.The folding and lifting of the Rocky Mountains took place over a period lasting from the Mesozoic into the Tertiary (roughly 60 million years ago). Under intense pressure from the west the massive layers of sediment, several thousand metres deep in places, were broken up and folded. Several parallel fractures occurred, whole strata were forced eastwards and semi-vertical layers of chalk and sandstone were formed. The main ridge of the mountains which form the western part of the National Park are made up of such layers of sediment which had been forced up and distorted; however, this region is only slightly folded compared with the Front Range which breaks off steeply to the east. The formation of the surfaces as seen today occurred mainly during the Ice Ages, the last push ending about 10,000 years ago. At that time great masses of ice filled the valleys, creating wide valley-floors, slopes, passes and sharp ridges. Wind, water, frost and ice still continue the work of the Ice Age glaciers.The broad valleys and lower mountain slopes up to about 1500 m (5000 ft) display typical montane vegetation consisting of open forest - studded with grassy areas - of Douglas pine, silver fir, lodgepole pine and the aspen trees which turn such a beautiful gold in autumn. Steep, dry southern slopes are often carpeted with grass. Above this and up as far as the tree line at about 2200 m (7200 ft) is the sub-Alpine zone. No aspen trees will be found there. Characteristic of the lower slopes are self-contained coniferous forests of spruce and lodgepole pine. In the lower regions where there is considerable snowfall and a vegetation period of one to three months the pine trees gradually disappear. In summer the sub-Alpine mountain meadows are covered with carpets of flowers. The area of bent and distorted trees near the tree line is followed by the Alpine zone. Typical of the vegetation here, reminiscent of the Arctic tundra, are the shrubland, small bushes, heather, mountain flowers and grass, gradually to be replaced in the extreme environmental conditions by the well-suited mosses and lichens before naked rock, rubble and ice finally take over.There are still more than fifty species of mammals to be found in the national parks of this rocky region. Large wild animals are most likely to be spotted in the early morning and the evening. Elk predominate in the damp meadows of the valleys, while forest caribou, roe-deer, wapiti deer and mule deer frequent the thicker woods and meadows. Mountain goats and thick-horned sheep are found on the higher mountain slopes.The park is also home to grizzly bears. Normally they do not come near roads and towns. When walking in the "backcountry", however, it is wise to keep an eye open for them and for the more common black bear. The latter prefer wooded areas and thick undergrowth on the flat valley floors and sunny south-facing slopes, while grizzlies keep to the Alpine regions in summer but seek food lower down in spring and autumn. Under normal circumstances there is little likelihood of meeting a bear face to face. That said, grizzlies have been known to come right down to Moraine Lake, on one of the busiest walking paths, in the middle of the day with large groups of people around. These animals have poor sight but can smell or hear approaching humans long before they see them. Bears can be surprisingly quick, so on no account approach one. The park administration offices have leaflets on correct behaviour in "bearland". Feeding the bears is strictly prohibited, as this can spoil their natural way of life and make them less shy of people. During long walks and at camp sites, therefore, a close watch should be kept on foodstuffs and cosmetics, and they should be kept either in special bear-proof containers or securely packed in air-tight boxes in the boot of the car. For waste extra bear-proof rubbish-bins are provided. Scratch marks clearly caused by bears' claws should be a warning to take due care. For their own protection, bears found begging or looking for scraps in the vicinity of human habitation are taken into custody.

Highlights: |
Icefields Parkway
The Icefields Parkway is a scenic stretch of highway that runs from just west of Lake Louise to Jasper. The road follows a valley through huge mountains, and past emerald colored lakes.
Sunshine Region (Sunsine Village Ski Resort)
9 km (51/2 mi.) west of Banff, Sunshine Road branches south off the Trans-Canada Highway. A further 10 km (6 mi.) brings visitors to the lower station of the longest cable railway, or gondola as it is locally called - about 5000 m (16,400 ft) - in the Canadian Rockies (winter operation only). A twenty-minute ride takes them up to Sunshine Meadows, at the Sunshine Village Ski Resort. The area is a very inviting mountain region where some beautiful hill-walks can be enjoyed, such as that to Rock Isle Lake.This region is particularly magnificent in summer, when the mountain flora is in full splendor. In winter Sunshine Village is a favorite skiing area. A small Interpretive Centre provides information about the topography, and nature walks start from here. A chair-lift goes up to Standish Peak on the continental watershed, which here forms the boundary with British Columbia. From the end of June to early September the Sunshine Inn guesthouse offers food and lodging.Sunshine Village is one of the two leading ski resorts in Banff National Park, drawing skiers from all over the world. It offers a vast terrain suitable for all levels of ability.
Bow Valley Parkway
The 48 km (30 mi.) long Bow Valley Parkway to Lake Louise offers an alternative to the busy TransCanada Highway. Viewing points, camping and picnic sites as well as stopping-places with information boards make it possible to get to know the charming countryside of Bow Valley and to learn more about its geology and topography. Towering above it all is Castle Mountain, whose Eisenhower Peak is 2728 m (8950 ft) high.The Bow Valley Parkway also offers a great chance to see some of the wildlife in Banff National Park.
Johnston Canyon
26 km (16 mi.) along the Bow Valley Parkway sees the start of a favorite path through Johnston Canyon with its two waterfalls.A trail leads through the canyon with bridges along the steep cliff walls allowing visitors to get a feel for being in one of these unique canyons. The trail contiues on some 6 km (4 mi.) on the far side of the canyon, leading up to the Ink Pots, a group of springs of which two basins are particularly striking because of the bluish-green color of the water. Most visitors just stick to the lower level while those with more time and energy take on the more strenuous walk to the Ink Pots.Johnston Canyon is an impressive site in both summer and winter, although it sees very few visitors outside of the summer season.
Lake Minnewanka
Lake Minnewanka ("Devil's Lake" in the Indian language), 11 km (7 mi.) north-east of Banff, is now the largest lake within the national park. Simpson, the Governor of Hudson's Bay Company, rested here in 1841. Along the banks of the lake an old Indian path leads by the edge of the rocky mountain range. Around the turn of the century a small health resort grew up here, but it was not until 1912 that the first dam was built which raised the level of the lake by three meters. When the mines at Bankhead closed the government decided to build a power station here to provide electricity for Banff. Then, in 1941, a further dam was built below the lake on Cascade River, which raised the water level of Lake Minnewanka by a further 25 m (82 ft). The lake became 8 km (5 mi.) longer, sinking the holiday resort, forests and all traces of the old trail. Now, between May and September, there are trips lasting two hours round the charmingly situated lake which is now some 20 km (13 mi.) long. On the trip it is often possible to spot thick-horned sheep, deer and black bear.Lake Minnewanka is the only lake in the park on which motor-boats are allowed. It is worthwhile going on to Two Jack Lake - where canoes can be hired - and Johnson Lake. Swimming is possible in summer in the relatively calm lake. A fairly easy path leads round the lake.
Vermillion Lakes
The Vermilion Lakes Drive is 11 km (7 mi.) long and leads to the three Vermilion Lakes west of the town of Banff. They lie in the floodplain of the Bow River and are a refuge for numerous waterfowl. Ornithologists come here to observe bald eagles, osprey and Canadian geese. With a little luck beavers and elk may also be spotted.This is generally regarded as the best area of Banff National Park for migrant waterfowl. In the early spring it's possible to see Tundra Swans, Cinnamon Teal, Northern Shovelers, and White-winged and Surf Scoters, to name just a few. This is also a good area to spot bald eagles, which nest in the Vermillion Lakes area.In the summer months the American Bittern, Red-necked Grebe,Pied-billed Grebe, Wood Duck, Barred Owl, and Pileated Woodpecker frequent the area. The birding season continues on through the fall and into early winter.
Mount Norquay Ski Area
After traveling for 61/2 km (4 mi.) along Mount Norquay Road, with its many hairpin bends, you come to the lower station of the chairlift, which goes up to Mount Norquay, 2135 m (7007 ft).Mount Norquay, one of the three most popular ski hills in Banff National Park, has the added benefit of offering night skiing with lit trails, something not found at the other major ski resorts in the area. The hill offers skiing for all levels of ability and has made efforts to market itself as a family hill. Norquay is also the closest ski hill to the town of Banff.
Banff - River Rafting
River rafting is a popular sport and past time in the Canadian Rockies, with many operators based out of Banff. From June to the end of September a number of firms offer trips by rubber dinghy or raft on the Bow River, Kootenay River, and Kicking Horse River. These are the main rafting sites but there are also others in the vicinity. There are trips available for all levels of rafting. Spring is a popular time with fast running rivers. This is definitely the best time of year for people looking for a wild ride.
About 7 km (41/2 mi.) north-east of Banff Town site, on the narrow bending road to Lake Minnewanka, can be found the remains of the old coal-mining town of Bankhead, which enjoyed its heyday in the first half of this century. An instructive footpath - with boards displaying old photographs and explanatory notes - helps give an idea of what this ghost town was like.Lower Bankhead is where the coal mine and plant were located and Upper Bankhead is the location of the former town.
Silver City
The only remnants of the old mining settlement of Silver City, 27 km (17 mi.) west of Banff, are a meadow and a sign.Silver City was once home to a population of 3000. These were prospectors who had been led to believe the area held vast amounts of silver. In reality the area held only minimal amounts the mineral but promoters, hoping to get rich quick from the influx of people, had misled the public. The industry soon collapsed and Silver City became a ghost town.The old town was located below Castle Mountain.
Helicopter Flights
Sightseeing trips by helicopter are popular with visitors to the Rockies. They are available by various tour operators in Banff. Walkers can be taken to the more remote valleys, for heli-hiking, as it's called. In winter skiers can try heli-skiing, where skiers are flown to regions where they can be sure of snow. It is also possible to take a helicopter flight just to see the mountains and lakes from the air.
Tunnel Mountain
It is worthwhile climbing Tunnel Mountain where hoodoos, unique pillar rock formations caused by erosion, can be seen and from where there is a breathtaking view out over the surroundings and the Fairmong Banff Springs.A 2.3 km (1.4 mi) walking trail leads to the top of Tunnel Mountain and is only light to moderately strenuous. For those not interested in climbing the mountain, the best views of the Tunnel Mountain are from Tunnel Mountain Road.
Horse Riding
The impressive mountain country around Banff can also be explored on horseback. Guided tours lasting one or more days are also available.This can be a great way to see the Rocky Mountains and the backcountry and is a good alternative to hiking for those experienced in horseback riding.

Welcome to Epic MilitariaMilitary Uniforms, Insignia and EquipmentFor Re-enactors, Enthusiasts and Collectors |
Epic Militaria
- Film/TheatreFilm/TheatreEpic Militaria has supplied a number of film studios, theatre groups, photo shoots, adverts and TV drama series with World War Two reproduction items and props. Our customers include Universal Pictures, Angels the Costumiers of London, the British Army, Navy and RAF, and the US Military to name but a few. We have customers worldwide, from all throughout Europe to North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Scandinavia, Australia... even the Korean DMZ - You name it! We have helped a number of individuals create that authentic WWII look, taking them back in history and making their special event - be it a re-enactment event or party - a memorable one.
At Epic Militaria, we promise you a discreet and professional service. We have a wide range of WW2 German and American military items and extensive knowledge and experience of this period in history. If you need help or advice in this area, please do not hesitate to contact us, we are more than happy to help. Iron Sky (2011)
Most recently we continue to be a major supplier to the highly anticipated forthcoming Iron Sky, brought to you by Blind Spot Pictures. Iron Sky is a sci-fi movie that takes place in the year 2018, when the Nazis, who fled the Earth to the dark side of the Moon in 1945, return to claim the Earth. Pictured below is a teaser shot of Costume Designer Jake sporting some of our kit. This movie is drawing a huge amount of interest worldwide and we for one can't wait to see it. Be sure to check out the official movie site: Iron Sky
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Quentin Tarantino's 2009 multiple award winning box office smash "Inglourious Basterds" follows the fictional story of First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (played by Brad Pitt) as he leads his team of Jewish Allied soldiers on a mission to assassinate the Nazi Party Leadership. The film earned over 320 billion dollars in cinemas worldwide, making it Tarantino's highest-grossing film to date, and received rave reviews from critics.
Despite claims made by some other sellers, all the uniforms for the main actors came from a Polish company. However, Epic Militaria were a significant supplier to the film, providing a large amount of the insignia for the supporting cast. We were lucky enough to visit the film studios and whilst for obvious reasons no-one outside the cast and crew were allowed on set, we did get the chance to meet some of the folk behind the scenes and came away with a few juicy snaps of the costume department, including some of our own kit. Our boss, Julian, managed to get up close and personal with the uniform worn by Christoph Waltz, who won several prestigious awards for his performance as Austrian SS Officer, Standartenf�hrer Hans Landa.
Hollywood blockbusters aside, we have also been called upon to provide uniforms, equipment and insignia for several other productions. Here are some shots of our kit in action in a recent production by Sunfilms, an Italian company:
Another recent production we supported was the saucy "The She Wolves of Doktor Schlock", not military but they sent us some great pictures and with their kind permission we have one to show you. No, we only supplied the hats, not the leather, rubber, whips....

Do you remember that whole line of "Over the Hill" birthday …

Published : Tuesday, 30 Oct 2012, 8:29 AM CDT
Only got a day or even just a few hours before you need to be spooktacular this Halloween? With work and life, we are all busy, and creating an elaborate costume just might not be in the cards for some of us.
If you've only got hours to go before the festivities, grab a few old black and white T-shirts and a pair of scissors for a quick bone-chilling outfit.
Instant Skeleton
What you'll need:
Lay the black T-shirt out on a flat surface. Make sure it's right side out with the front facing down.
Take your ruler and measure out two columns of lines –10 or 12 – each line about two inches apart. Make sure there is about two inch wide strip down the middle of the shirt, unmarked.
Cut along each line you've drawn, being careful to keep them even.
Stretch your T-shirt out and repeat the steps on the other side.
Download a pattern
Pull this over a white or lighter colored T-shirt to create a chic spooky last-minute costume!

I travelled to two different cities in two different states last week—Indore and Guwahati. I came back with images identified by common distinctions: piles of garbage and glitzy new shopping malls. Is this our vision of urban development? There is no question that cities are imploding; growth is happening faster than we ever imagined. Construction is booming and expansion is gobbling agricultural land.
Delhi has yet to wake up the mobility crisis. Increased use of cars is reducing people carrying capacity of roads.

Khan Market in boulevard Delhi is said to be the most expensive real estate in India, maybe even in the world. But in this richest shopping destination, buyers do not want to pay for parking their vehicles.

Hyderabad, October 7, 2010: In 2003, Hyderabad started taking steps to contain its air pollution. As a result, PM 10 levels dipped from 72 microgramme per cubic metre (mg/cum) to 66 mg/cum.
The Centre for Science and Environment releases an in-depth report on the city of Kanpur as part of its ongoing initiative to build city action on clean air and mobility.
Nascent policy action has begun in some small and big cities of India to move away from car centric development.
