□ O1 r~\ DD NOV. /DEC. 1974 A PUBLICATION BY CAPITOL HILL UNITED NEIGHBORHOODS INC ATTENTION BOARD MEMBERS There will be no December Board meeting. January board meeting will be held Jan. 23, at 7«30 p.m. at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. (9th & Emerson) Mark it on your calendartl v retreat by Bernie Jones The sometime-scattered efforts of Capitol Hill's varied community organizations and free-lancing activists started to come together at the first Capitol Hill retreat, sponsored by the Capitol Hill Coordinating Committee for Community Services and held near Morrison the weekend of Oct. 11-13. About twenty people took part at one time or another, representing such groups and agencies as CHUN, North Capitol Hill Council, the Coordinating Committee, Denver Free University, New Denver Community Association, Capitol Hill Gopher Service, Denver Planning Office, and others. A planning committee composed of John Hand, Warren Bailey, John Marinace and Bernie Jones led the group through a series of sessions designed to 1) find out who is who and who is doing what 2) what are the existing conditions in Capitol Hill 3) What are are dreams about what the neighborhood should be; and 4) what are some practical steps that could be taken right away. While a fuller report on the retreat will have to uait until the next edition of the newsletter, some of the specific actions planned for implementation after the retreat are listed here i vvri^.f-. —designation of ajti informal gathering place (Scjui^e Lounge and Restaurant at 'WiU'l^nas and Colfax for lunch, Fridays at noon) —agreement to utilize CHUN newsletter more widely as a general organ for communication in Capitol Hill. —suggestion that CHUN sponsor some kind of forum where potential Capitol Hill council candidates could air their views, --scheduling of discussions about formation of a housing development corporation to buy and restore old endangered houses, --plans for Gilpin House staff to take message of boarding home problems to neighborhood organizations, —start discussions about planning a prototype block (e.g. closing street, neighborhood gardens, greater use of alleys, etc. ) —attempting to designate a block worker on each block of the neighborhood as a general communications network for all area organizations, --agreement to urge all area organizations to sponsor and participate in a similar retreat in the spring as a beginning of inter-organizational long-term planning. Any of the retreat planners (and probably anyone else who attended) would be glad to elaborate on these discussions should anyone wish more information. Congratulations to Barbara Sudler, a CHUN board member who has recently been selected as executive director of Historic Denver, Inc. She replaces Ken Watson who resigned a few months ago. Preservation is not new to Mrs. Sudler. She was very active in saving the Tramway Cable Car Co, and in obtaining Landmark Status for the building. Mrs, Sudler brings wide and varied ~ experience to the job. She has been in charge of marketing and public relations for her husband Jim's architectural firm. Volunteer jobs include work for the Denver Art Museum, Denver Symphony, various political campaigns, Denver Public-Library researf n and participation on the Gov ^nor's Commission on Drugs and Alec ol Abuse. Before she was elected to bhe CHUN board, she worked witl the committee on Home Finance .md helped plan our Banker's Tour, Mrs, Sudler is very anxious to broaden the base of Historic Denver and believes strongly that preservation is for ALL the people. An expanded membership would certainly give the organization's ideals and goals more influence. We congratulate Mrs, Sudler- and hope CHUN and Historic Denver can continue to work together on areas of mutual concern. We are very happy that Mrs, Sudler has decided to continue her service on the CHUN board. *r" /- RECYCLE THIS PAPER Q GIVE IT TO A FRIEND TO READ

Theres Darth Vader playing the violin Day 13: Whistler
Today was a day that both Dad and I had been looking forward to – we were off up Whistler mountain in a Hummer, and it was our last opportunity to see some bears. Now there had been reported sightings of bears by other people on the coach but by the time they had been pointed out either the coach had gone past or the bears had run off.
We were up at 8:00 and downstairs by 8:30 to pay for the excursion and be on our way. The Hummers duly arrived and by 9:00, once again I had blagged the front seat, we were strapped in and we were off.
We made our way up the mountain and despite all our best efforts there were no bears in sight. By the way if you've ever wondered if a Hummer has reclining seats, it does if you do this!
I was a bit too slow in taking this photo so you don't really get the full effect but imagine if you will the angle at which you would be sitting if you drove up that slope but came to a halt half way up. Once the driver had done that he then reversed up the slope so we were all hanging forward in our safety harnesses, or seat belt in my case!
We reached 6,069 feet and stopped off at the Roundhouse Lodge to admire the views
the symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Inukshuk
and a sample of the new gondolas that are being built to cross from Whistler mountain to Blackcomb mountain
Now the highest point these gondolas will be is 13,000 feet, the journey time from summit to summit will be 11 minutes and one of the gondolas will have A GLASS FLOOR ,any takers?
We made our way back down the mountain and were dropped back at the hotel at 10:50. We dropped off our cameras and made our way into town where we had a walk around – oh look there's the KFC we were looking for last night - and went into the Brewhouse for lunch where we had burger and chips and a honey brown lager and met up with some of the other couples from the coach.
After lunch we wandered round the rest of the shops and then went back to the room to rest for a while. We went back out at 5:00 and , now we knew where it was, went to KFC for something to eat. I had popcorn chicken and a root beer while Dad had chicken pieces and a root beer.
We then had another wander round town and I bought a 2010 hooded zip up sweatshirt I had been admiring before going back to the room to pack ready for our journey home tomorrow. Packing finished we were both in bed by about 9:40.

My life as a turkey
My life as a turkey, from the BBC Natural World documentary based on the book @Illumination in the Flatwoods' by Joe Hutto.
'' we do not have a privileged access to reality, so many of us live either in the past or in the future; betraying the moment and in some sense we forget to live our lives. and the wild turkeys were always reminding me to live my life. I think as humans we have this peculiar disposition to be always thinking ahead and living a little bit in the future, anticipating the next minute, the next hour, the next day; and we betray the moment….the wild turkeys don't do that. They are convinced that everything they need, all theirs needs will be met only in the present moment an din this space and that the world is not a better place half a mile further through the woods, it is not better an hour from now and it is not better tomorrow, but that this is as good as it gets…and so they reminded me to do better and not to live in this abstraction of the future, which by definition will never exist… and so we sort of betray our lives in the moment an dteh wild turkeys reminded me to be present, to be here……………''

About three months ago, Raynham's Paul Monti received a Facebook link to a song. The lyrics told of a pickup truck — a pickup truck that belonged to a soldier who didn't come home from war.
The link to the emotional country song was sent to him by the mother of a soldier who was killed with his son, Medal of Honor recipient Jared Monti, on a mountain in Afghanistan in 2006.
While more than $7 million in water main, sewer and sidewalk construction projects will be taking place in downtown Taunton this summer, city officials insist that the work will not interfere with local businesses.

In the maneuvering over gun-control legislation, every twist and turn was instantly reported and then endlessly debated. As the effects of the federal sequester start to make themselves felt, outlets in every medium — print, television, online — are carrying both the news and the inevitable partisan sniping over its meaning.

The Sava is a river in Southeast Europe, a right side tributary of the Danube river discharging in Belgrade. It is 990 kilometres (615 miles) long, including 45-kilometre (28 mi) Sava Dolinka headwater rising in Zelenci, Slovenia – draining the second largest catchment among Danube tributaries after Tisza and covering 97,713 square kilometres (37,727 square miles) of surface area. It flows through Slovenia, Croatia, along the northern border of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and through Serbia. Its central part is a natural border of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. The Sava is considered to be the northern border of the Balkan Peninsula.
It belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin and, together with Sava Dolinka, represents the third longest tributary of the Danube, as well as the greatest by volume of water. It drains a significant portion of the Dinaric Alps region, through the significant tributaries of Drina, Bosna, Kupa, Una, Vrbas, Lonja, Kolubara, Bosut and Krka. The Sava is one of the longest rivers in Europe and among a handful of European rivers of that length, that do not drain directly into a sea.
Contents |
The Sava River is formed of the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka headwaters in northwest Slovenia. The river's headwater area also encompasses several tributaries, including the 52-kilometre (32 mi) Sora, the 27-kilometre (17 mi) Tržič Bistrica and the 17-kilometre (11 mi) Radovna rivers—flowing into the Sava at confluences located as far east downstream as Medvode.[1][2] Valleys of the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka are glacial valleys, carved out by the Sava Dolinka and Bohinj glaciers advancing down Karavanke mountain range to vicinity of present-day Radovljica. In the late Pleistocene, Bohinj Glacier was the largest glacier in the territory of present-day Slovenia, up to 900 metres (3,000 feet) thick.[3]
The Sava Dolinka rises at the Zelenci Pools near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, in a valley separating the Julian Alps from Karavanke range.[4] The spring is located near Slovene-Italian border at 833 metres (2,733 feet) above sea level,[2][5] in area of drainage divide between Adriatic and Danube basins. The Sava Dolinka spring is thus fed by groundwater possibly exhibiting bifurcation of source karst aquifer to Sava and Soča basins.[6] Losing stream of short Nadiža creek, flowing nearby, is the source of Zelenci Pools water.[4] Sava River is considered to comprise Sava Dolinka as its initial,[2] 45-kilometre (28 mi) segment.[7]
The Sava Bohinjka originates in Ribčev Laz, at confluence of the Jezernica,[8] a short watercourse flowing out from Lake Bohinj—and the Mostnica River.[9] Some sources define the Jezernica as a part of the Sava Bohinjka, specifying the latter as flowing directly out of the lake,[10] while another group of sources include Savica, rising at the southern flank of Triglav as the 78-metre (256 ft) Savica Falls,[11] downstream from Triglav Lakes Valley, and flowing into the lake, as a part of the Sava Bohinjka.[12] The watercourse flows 41 kilometres (25 miles)—including length of the Savica—east to Radovljica,[2] where it discharges into the Sava Dolinka. Downstream from the confluence, the river is referred to as the Sava.[6]
The Sava is located in Southeast Europe, flowing through Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and along the Bosnia-Herzegovina border. Its total length is 990 kilometres (615 miles), including the 45-kilometre (28 mi) Sava Dolinka and the 945-kilometre (587 mi) Sava proper. As a right tributary of the Danube, the river belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin.[7][13] The Sava River is the third longest tributary of the Danube,[14] slightly shorter than the 966-kilometre (600 mi) Tisza and the 950-kilometre (590 mi) Prut—the Danube's two longest tributaries—when the Sava Dolinka headwater is excluded from its course.[15][16] It is also the largest tributary of the Danube by discharge.[14] The river course is sometimes used to describe the northern boundary of the Balkans,[17] and the southern border of the Central Europe.[18] Before the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, the river was located completely inside Yugoslav borders and it was the longest river with its entire course within the country.[19]
From source to the Sutla[edit]
The Sava Dolinka rises in the Zelenci Pools, west of Podkoren in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia at 833 metres (2,733 feet) above sea level (a.s.l.),[2][5] and flows east, past Kranjska Gora to Jesenice, where it turns southeast. At Žirovnica, the river enters the Ljubljana Basin and encounters the first hydroelectric dam—Moste plant—before proceeding to the east of the glacial Lake Bled towards Radovljica and confluence of the Sava Bohinjka,[20] at 411 metres (1,348 feet) a.s.l.[2] Downstream of Radovljica, the Sava proceeds southeast towards Kranj.[21] Between Kranj and Medvode, its course comprises the Trbojsko Lake and the Zbiljsko Lake reservoirs,[7] built for the Mavčiče and the Medvode power plants.[22][23]
The Sava then flows through the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana,[24] where another reservoir is located on the river, adjacent to the Tacen Whitewater Course.[25] There the river course turns east and leaves the Ljubljana Basin via Dolsko,[21][26] at 261 metres (856 feet) a.s.l. (at confluence of the Ljubljanica and the Kamnik Bistrica).[2] The course continues through the Sava Hills, where it passes the Litija Basin with the mining and industrial town of Litija, the Central Sava Valley with the mining towns of Zagorje ob Savi, Trbovlje, and Hrastnik, turns to the southeast and runs through the Lower Sava Valley with the towns of Radeče, Sevnica, and Krško. The course through the Sava Hills forms the boundary of traditional regions of Lower Carniola and Styria,[27] At Radeče, the Vrhovo hydroelectric dam reservoir is located.[28] The latter is site of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, which uses the Sava River water to dissipate excess heat.[29] The easternmost stretch of the Sava River course in Slovenia runs to the south of Brežice, where it is joined by the Krka, and the river ultimately becomes a border river between Slovenia and Croatia, marking 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of their border near confluence of the Sutla (Slovene: Sotla).[7][30] At that point, the Sava reaches 132 metres (433 feet) a.s.l. after flowing 221 kilometres (137 miles) through Slovenia and along its border.[2]
From the Sutla to the Una[edit]
The westernmost part of the 562-kilometre (349 mi) Sava River course in Croatia,[31] takes the river east, through the western part of the Zagreb County, between Samobor and Zaprešić. The area encompasses forests interspersed by marshes and lakes formed in gravel pits.[32] As the Sava approaches the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, the marshes give way to urban landscape, but there are surviving examples of the gravel pit lakes, such as the Jarun,[33] and the Bundek within the city.[34] At the western outskirts of Zagreb, there is the western terminus of the 32-kilometre (20 mi) Sava–Odra flood-relief canal connecting the Sava to the Odra River plain which is intended to act as flood control retention basin.[35] The canal has been built in response to the most destructive flooding of the river that occurred in Zagreb in 1964, when one third of the city was flooded and 17 people were killed.[36] The city itself marks the western extent of the Sava River basin area especially prone to flooding, spanning from Zagreb to confluence of the river in Belgrade, Serbia.[7]
East of Zagreb, the river turns southeast again further through the Central Croatia, to the Sisak-Moslavina County, the city of Sisak, reaching 91.3 metres (300 feet) a.s.l. The city of Sisak marks the westernmost extent of the Sava River navigable to larger vessels. Navigation conditions on the river are poor due to limited draft and fairway width, meandering of the river, bridge clearance restrictions, poor fairway markings as well as presence of sunken vessels and other objects, including unexploded ordnance.[7] The ordnance is left over from various conflicts including the World War II,[37] Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian War,[38] and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[39] Before reaching confluence of Una at Jasenovac and 86.8 metres (285 feet) a.s.l,[40] the Sava River traces Lonjsko Polje nature park,[41] encompassing marshes frequently flooded by the Sava and its tributaries in the area.[42]
From the Una to the Drina[edit]
Downstream of confluence of the Una River, the Sava is once again tracing an international border—between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Its meandering course turns generally eastwards along Gradiška, and Slavonski Brod to Županja, where it turns south to Brčko. There, the river resumes its predominantly eastward course towards Sremska Rača and confluence of the Drina River. The right bank of the Sava, in this segment of its course, belongs to Bosnia-Herzegovina—largely to Republika Srpska, but also to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Brčko District, while the opposite bank belongs to Croatia and its Sisak-Moslavina, Brod-Posavina and Vukovar-Syrmia counties, except in the area of Jamena and further downstream—which belongs to Serbia and the province of Vojvodina. No cities in this segment of the course span the river as it represents an international frontier, but there are adjacent settlements located in two different countries, divided by the Sava. Those include Gradiška, Brod and Brčko in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Stara Gradiška, Slavonski Brod and Gunja in Croatia opposite them.
The 337.2-kilometre (209.5 mi) segment between the Una and the Drina confluences, marking corresponding to the entire length of the Sava flowing along the border of Bosnia-Herzegovina, exhibits small change of elevation—from 86.8 metres (285 feet) a.s.l at Jasenovac to 76.6 metres (251 feet) a.s.l. at Brčko gauges, over 287.5 kilometres (178.6 miles) of the river between them.[40] The entire course of the river downstream from Zagreb flows down 0.4‰ slope on average, significantly less steep than the course in Slovenia, where the average slope exceeds 0.7‰—resulting in the Sava's meandering course running through a wide plain bordered by wetlands.[5]
From the Drina to the Danube[edit]
Downstream from confluence of the Drina, the Sava River changes its eastward course to northeast, until it reaches Sremska Mitrovica, from where it flows to the southeast and then south to Šabac, before finally turning east towards Belgrade. Most of the river's course in Serbia represents a border between province of Vojvodina, on the left bank, and Central Serbia, on the right bank. Exceptions to that are in area around Sremska Mitrovica, where both banks are in Vojvodina, and downstream of Progar suburb of Belgrade where both banks are in Central Serbia. The river meanders and forms wetlands in there as well—the most significant wetland among them centering on Obedska bara oxbow lake.[7] The Sava River forms several large islands in this segment of the course, with the largest among them—800-hectare (2,000-acre) Ada Ciganlija in Belgrade—connected to the right bank by a pair of artificial embankment dams forming the Sava Lake since 1967.[40][44] The Sava discharges into the Danube, after reaching 68.3 metres (224 feet) a.s.l. as its right tributary at the Great War Island off the easternmost tip of Syrmia in Belgrade, 1,169.9 kilometres (726.9 miles) away from the Danube's confluence and the Black Sea.[40]
Population in the Sava river basin is estimated at 8,176,000, and it includes four capitals—Belgrade, Ljubljana, Sarajevo and Zagreb. All of them, except Sarajevo, are also located directly on the river banks and represent the three largest settlements found along the Sava River course.[7] Belgrade, located at the confluence of the river, is the largest city in the basin with urban population of 1,135,502. Ten municipalities where the city is situated have combined population of 1,283,783 as suburban settlements are added, while the Belgrade metropolitan area encompasses population of 1,639,121.[45] Zagreb is the second largest city on the river, comprising population of 686,568 living in the city itself, and 792,875 in the city-administered area.[46] Together with the Zagreb County, largely corresponding to various definitions of the city's metropolitan area,[47] it has a combined population of 1,110,517.[46] Ljubljana is the third-largest city on the banks of the Sava, encompassing population of 258,873 living in the city itself and 265,881 in the city-governed area.[48]
The largest city in Bosnia-Herzegovina situated on the Sava River course is Brčko, whose urban population is estimated at 40,000.[49] Other cities along the river, with populations of 20,000 and larger, are Slavonski Brod (53,473), Šabac (52,822), Sremska Mitrovica (37,586), Kranj (35,587), Sisak (33,049),[46] Obrenovac (24,568),[45] Novo Mesto (22,415),[48] and Gradiška (est. 20,000).[50]

The Sava River basin, covers a total area of 97,713.2 square kilometres (37,727.3 square miles) making it the second largest Danube tributary catchment by area size, surpassed by the Tisza basin only,[5] and it encompasses 12% of the Danube basin, draining into the Black Sea. The Sava represents the third longest tributary of the Danube and its largest tributary by discharge.[14] The catchment area borders the remainder of the Danube basin to the north and east, and the Adriatic Sea basin to the west and south. The river basin generally consists of parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia, with a very small part of the catchment area belonging to Albania. Topography of the basin varies significantly. Upstream portion of the basin is more rugged than downstream one, but asymmetry of the basin topography is particularly apparent when comparing right and left bank areas—the former dominated by the Alps and the Dinarides reaching elevations in excess of 2,000 metres (6,600 feet) a.s.l, while the latter is dominated by Pannonian Plain. Mean elevation of the basin is 545 metres (1,788 feet) a.s.l.[7]

Major tributaries[edit]
The most important tributaries of the Sava River found in its upper basin are characterized by relatively steep grades of flow, high flow velocities and rapids. Those are left tributaries: the Kokra, the Kamnik Bistrica and the Savinja; and right tributaries: the Sora, the Ljubljanica and the Krka. Further downstream larger rivers empty into the Sava, as the right bank of the basin grows steadily. Right tributaries in this lower segment of the basin start as fast flowing courses, only to slow down as they enter the Pannonian Basin. They include the Kupa, the Una, the Vrbas, the Ukrina, the Bosna, the Brka, the Tinja, the Drina and the Kolubara. Left tributaries in the lower segment drain plains consequently exhibiting less steep course grades, lower flow rates and meandering. They include the Sutla, the Krapina, the Lonja, the Ilova, the Orljava and the Bosut.[7]
The 346-kilometre (215 mi) Drina is the largest tributary of the Sava, flowing in Bosnia-Herzegovina and along border of the country and Serbia. It is formed by headwaters of the Tara and the Piva at the border of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro, near Šćepan Polje. Its 20,319.9-square-kilometre (7,845.6 sq mi) catchment extends across parts of four countries—reaching as far south as Albania. The Bosna and the Kupa river basins are the second and third largest catchments of the Sava tributaries, each surpassing 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 square miles) in size.[7]

Upstream of the Sora river confluence, its average annual flow rate stands at 65 cubic metres (2,300 cubic feet) per second.[53] Downstream of the Krka confluence the average flow rate reaches 317 cubic metres (11,200 cubic feet) per second, gradually increasing as tributaries discharge along the course—340 cubic metres (12,000 cubic feet) per second downstream of the Sutla, 880 cubic metres (31,000 cubic feet) per second following discharge of the Kupa and the Una, 990 cubic metres (35,000 cubic feet) per second downstream of the Vrbas confluence, 1,180 cubic metres (42,000 cubic feet) per second after the Bosna River empties into the Sava,[54] and finally of 1,564 cubic metres (55,200 cubic feet) per second at confluence of the Sava in Belgrade.[14] The highest flow rate of 4,161 cubic metres (146,900 cubic feet) per second was recorded by Županja gauging station in 1970.[55]
Seven out of eight largest reservoirs in the Sava River basin are located in the Drina catchment, the largest among them being the 0.88-cubic-kilometre (0.21 cu mi) Piva Lake on the eponymous river in Montenegro, created after construction of Mratinje Dam. Overall, there are 22 reservoirs holding more than 5,000,000 cubic metres (180,000,000 cubic feet) of water in the basin, with only four of them situated directly on the Sava, including one on the Sava Dolinka. Most of the reservoirs are used primarily, or even exclusively, for electricity generation, but they are also used as supply of drinking water, industrial water source, for irrigation and food production.[7]
Groundwater is a very important resource in the Sava River basin, generally used for public water supply of potable water, as a source of water for industrial use, but also as the mainstay of aquatic ecosystems. There are 41 identified significant groundwater bodies in the Sava River basin of basin-wide importance, ranging in area size from 97 to 5,186 square kilometres (37 to 2,002 square miles), as well as numerous minor ground water bodies. Even though most of them are transboundary waters, eleven are considered to be largely located in Slovenia, fourteen in Croatia, seven in Bosnia-Herzegovina, five in Serbia and four in Montenegro.[56]
Electric power generation[edit]
There are 18 hydroelectric power plants with power generation capacity exceeding 10 Megawatts in the Sava River basin. In Slovenia, most of them are located on the Sava itself. In other countries, the hydroelectric power plants are situated on its tributaries. Total power generation capacity of the 18 power plants, and additional smaller plants largely found in Slovenia, amounts to 41,542 Megawatts, and their annual production capacity stands at 2,497 Gigawatt-hours. In addition, approximately 3.3 cubic kilometres (0.79 cubic miles) of water per year in the river's basin is used to cool thermoelectric and nuclear power plants.[57]
As of October 2012[update], there are six existing hydroelectric power plants built along the Sava River. Upstream of Ljubljana there are Moste, Mavčiče and Medvode power plants, while Vrhovo, Boštanj and Blanca are located downstream of the capital. There is one additional plant under construction near Krško. The Krško hydroelectric power plant, as well as two additional plants planned on the Sava River course downstream of Ljubljana—Brežice and Mokrice—should be completed by 2018. The power plants downstream of Ljubljana, except Vrhovo, are developed as a chain of five Slovenia's Lower Sava Valley plants since 2002.[57][58] They will have production capacity of 2,000 Gigawatt-hours per year and 570 Megawatts of installed capacity. Completion of the five power plants is expected to cost 700 million Euros. There are also plans for construction of ten new powerplants in the middle Sava valley HE Suhadol, HE Trbovlje, HE Renke, HE Ponovice, HE Kresnice, HE Jevnica, HE Zalog, HE Šentjakob, HE Ježica and HE Tacen. Croatia is planning construction of four hydroelectric power plants on the Sava River in Zagreb area. The four plants—Podsused, Prečko, Zagreb and Drenje—are scheduled to be completed by 2021 at a cost of 800 million Euros. The four power plants will have installed capacity of 122 Megawatts and annual production capacity of 610 Gigawatt-hours.[59]

Water supply and food production[edit]
Use of water for public water supply in the Sava River basin is estimated at 783,000,000 cubic metres (2.77×1010 cubic feet) per year, and another 289,000,000 cubic metres (1.02×1010 cubic feet) per year. Use of water for agriculture in the Sava River basin is relatively high, but most of it is applied in non-consumptive uses, such as fish farming. Use of water for irrigation is relatively low, estimated at 30,000,000 cubic metres (1.1×109 cubic feet) per year.[57] Commercial fishing on the Sava River is in decline since the middle of the 20th century. In 1978, there were only 97 commercial fishermen there, while recreational fishing became dominant.[62] The decline became more rapid during the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, reducing quantity of fish caught in the river to approximately one third of the pre-war catches which ranged from 719 to 988 tonnes (708 to 972 long tons; 793 to 1,089 short tons) between 1979 and 1990.[63] The International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC), a cooperative body established by Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia and Montenegro in 2005,[64] is tasked with establishment of sustainable management of surface water and groundwater resources in the Sava River basin.[65]
The Sava is navigable to navigable to larger vessels for 593.8 kilometres (369.0 miles) between its confluence with the Danube in Belgrade, Serbia and Galdovo Bridge in Sisak, Croatia, 2.8 kilometres (1.7 miles) upstream from confluence of Sava and Kupa rivers.[40] The confluence marks the westernmost point of the river course designated as a Class IV international waterway in compliance with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's European Agreement on Main Inland Waterways of International Importance (AGN).[66] The classification means that the river course between Sisak and Belgrade is navigable to ships of the maximum length of 80 to 85 metres (260 to 279 feet), the maximum beam of 9.5 metres (31 feet), the maximum draught of 2.5 metres (8 feet 2 inches) and tonnage up to 1,500 tonnes (1,500 long tons; 1,700 short tons). The Sava River downstream of Sisak, is designated as European waterway E 80-12, branching off from the E 80 waterway spanning the Danube and Le Havre via the Rhine.[67] The largest ports on the Sava River are Brčko and Šamac in Bosnia-Herzegovina,[68] Sisak and Slavonski Brod in Croatia,[66] and Šabac and Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia.[69]
As of 2008[update], 24.5 kilometres (15.2 miles) of the river course between Slavonski Šamac and Oprisavci, as well as additional 219.8 kilometres (136.6 miles) between Slavonski Brod and Sisak, are considered by the Croatia's Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure to fail the Class IV criteria, permitting navigation of vessels up to 1,000 tonnes (980 long tons; 1,100 short tons) only, complying with the AGN's Category III.[66] The Slavonski Šamac–Oprisavci section is especially troublesome for navigation as it offers 250 centimetres (98 inches) draught in less than 50% of an average hydrological year, causing navigation to cease each summer. Similar interruptions are less frequent elsewhere on the river, occurring 30 days a year on average upstream from Oprisavci, and even more rarely downstream from Slavonski Šamac.[70]
The restricted draft and fairway is compounded with meandering of the river's course—limiting length of vessels—and low bridge clearance. Further problems are incurred through poor transport infrastructure along the route, including poor navigation markings, and presence of sunken vessels and unexploded munitions.[7] Navigation along further 68 kilometres (42 miles) of the river upstream to Rugvica near Zagreb is possible for vessels with tonnage below 1,000 tonnes (980 long tons; 1,100 short tons), and the section of the river belongs to the AGN's Category II. There are plans for restoration of the Category IV compliant waterway downstream of Sisak and betterment of navigation infrastructure between Sisak and Rugvica,[66] as well as upgrading of the waterway between Brčko and Belgrade to Category Va, matching that of the Danube, with uninterrupted navigation through the year. The plan is planned to be supported by the European Union and as of October 2012[update], an agreement to implement the plan was signed by Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, while Serbia is invited to join the project. The plan aims to increase safety and volume of river transport, which declined by about 70% since the breakup of Yugoslavia, largely because of poor maintenance of the route.[71] The ISRBC is tasked with establishment of an international regime of navigation on the river since 2005.[65]
Country | Port | Annual cargo | Year |
Croatia | Sisak | 139,899 t | 2007[66] |
Slavonski Brod | 139,364 t | 2007[66] | |
Serbia | Sremska Mitrovica | 295,551 t | 2009[69] |
Road, rail and pipeline transport[edit]
The Sava River valley is also a route for road and rail traffic. The river valley routes are a part of the Pan-European Corridor X, and forming junctions with Pan-European Corridors V, Vb, Vc, Xa and Xb in area of Ljubljana (V), Zagreb (Vb, Xa), Slavonski Šamac (Vc), and Belgrade (Xb).[72] The motorways forming the Pan-European Corridor X in the area—Slovenia's A2, Croatia's A3 and Serbia's A1 motorways—represent a part of European route E70 Bordeaux–Turin–Ljubljana–Zagreb–Belgrade–Bucharest and the European route E61 Villach–Ljubljana–Trieste–Rijeka.[73] A largely double track railroad with a railway electrification system is also a part of the Corridor X.[74] The railroad was a part of the Simplon-Orient-Express and Direct-Orient-Express routes.[75] The navigable river course between Belgrade and Galdovo north of Sisak is spanned by 25 bridges.[76] The Sava River valley east of Sisak is also used as a route for the Jadranski naftovod, a crude oil pipeline. The system connects the Port of Rijeka oil terminal to oil refineries in Rijeka and Sisak, to Brod in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as Novi Sad and Pančevo in Serbia.[77]
In 1751, Francesco Robba completed his Fountain of Three Carniolan rivers, the Ljubljanica, the Krka, and the Sava. It was originally on display at Town Square in Ljubljana. Since 2008, it is on display in the National Gallery of Slovenia, and a replica stands at the square.
The Baptism on the Savica (Slovene: Krst pri Savici) is the Slovene national epic. It was written in 1835 by the Slovene Romantic poet France Prešeren.
Even though name Sava became very common among (and not only South) Slavs, especially as a form of personal name, either male or female, and has a "Slavic tone," the river's name is not Slavic but Celtic and Roman in origin; the Latin name was Savus. Another name, used for Sava in entirety or its lower part by Strabo, is Noarus.[78] The old Celts associated their river goddess Adsullata with the Savus.
The river is adjacent to the Tacen Whitewater Course which hosts a major international competition almost every year, examples being the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in 1955, 1991, and 2010.

Consumer Demand for Ethical Food
Recent marketing studies have found there is a growing number of socially conscious consumers who place more emphasis on ethical food and demand transparency on the part of food producers to demonstrate ethical production. A new study, the Consumer Image Index, is beginning to identify the socially conscious consumer, unravel expectations for this group concerning production practices and document where the industry is perceived to stand in regard to how it produces beef.

Do you by any chance remember the old Galaxy chocolate drops? They used to come in a white packet with a picture of a giraffe on. From my memory – this was maybe 30 years ago – they were glossy and more rounded that the Cadbury's buttons. I think the packet was 'landscape' shape rather [...]
Galaxy Counters
Can you please tell me the name of 70′s chocolates in a white bag with a camel on the front. They were shaped like flat revels or minstrels but without the shell on. Many thanks. Beverley
At the sake of stirring up controversy, I seem to remember there were originally 3 varieties of Treats: yes, the one everyone remembers are the peanut treats in the yellow bag; there was also a chocolate saucer-shaped version in a brown bag – the forerunner of Galaxy Counters; plus there was a toffee version, shaped [...]
Fabulous website – my mum's a fan too! But whatever happened to chocolate tools (they used to be 2p each in the late 1970s!) and Golden Cup caramel – and my all-time favourite, Galaxy Counters?!
what happened to galaxy counters, is used to love them when i was a young child can you also find out what happened to dainty chews they used to cost about 1p per chew Anna
Hi there, Just wondering whatever happened to Galaxy Counters? They were slightly smaller than the counters you get in Revels and came in a wee white bag with I think either a Camel or a Giraffe on the front. Thanks for your help. Kind regards. Sandie
Do you know what happened to Galaxy counters?
Hi I used to love Galaxy Counters they were solid discs of chocolate and used to be in a white bag with a giraffe on the front or something, they are still about in revels but you may get one per bag, is there any still around by the bag full? Kind regards Sharon
Have you any idea why Galaxy don't still; make the choclaate counters they used to? I loved them. I think there was a picture of a camel on the bag? Thanks, and the website and choice you offer are fab. Regards Karen
So, whatever happened to Galaxy counters, The 'herb Garden' – (Parsley the lion) – bars, and Golden cups? Yours interested…. Louisa
For ages now we have been trying to find Galaxy Counters. Is it possible you can start selling them again. They were fab
Small disc shaped shiney chocolate drops, white packet with animals on it…..
haha, me too, couldn't remember the name, however remember the animals.
Defo taste better than Revels, although I do know why some people mention them in the same breath. And certainly nothing like Milky Way Stars, they're awful.
They where my fav, along with Smarties.
God I wish they where still produced, late 70s for me too………….hehe.
These must have been around towards the end of the 60s `cos I can remember buying them at the Off License at the co-op and I wouldn't have been allowed to go down the road on my own much before I was 6. They were little circles of Galaxy, slightly domed on both sides – [...]
Trazza remembers: -
I also tell my children about these sweets, I have no idea what happened to them but they were lovely! They must have been around late 60′s early 70′s.
From memory the closest taste I can find is Milky Way stars. Someone said they are like what you find in Revels but thats not the taste that I remember.
Galaxy bring them back!

India Flashbacks
I have this photo hanging in my home office, taken on a trip to India in 2007. What do you think of the message? Which got me to reminiscing about that trip. Literally hundreds of photos were taken, but here are a few that still give me pause. If you're interested in seeing the whole [...]

I haven't bought a new computer monitor in almost a decade. Is there anything special to look for? I don't want anything too huge - maybe something in the 21-24 inch range? Is widescreen pretty much standard these day? How much do I have to worry about refresh rate, color depth, and stuff like that? Also, best websites for looking for PC hardware deals? Thanks for any help!
You'll have to look hard to find something that isn't widescreen, and why would you want to? I'd go 24" (in fact I have two 24" side by side) - 21" is small these days. All the rest depends on what you'll be using it for. You'll want IPS if you want the best for photography and editing. Low refresh rate for games, but most current monitors are fast enough that you'll never notice the difference. --- CRT is what you find in museums, just in case you think Raife is being serious.
Not much has changed since March, IMO. http://brokenforum.com/index.php?threads/second-monitors.2025/ Stick with IPS whenever possible, and I wouldn't buy anything with less than a 3 year warranty.
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...&nf=233672~0~15116333&prods=320-2676,320-9800 If I didn't care that much about USB ports and being able to adjust the height and orientation of the monitor, other than being an inch bigger is there any significant advantage of the U2412M over the S2340L? For just over half the price, it seems like a pretty good deal.
It's not an inch. You lose 230400 pixels and almost 33 sq inches of viewing area (actual reduction in size of 13%). You also lose Displayport support.
I'm pretty sure that you do in fact lose an inch along the diagonal. But yeah, I didn't notice that the aspect ratio was different. Is one more standard for PC games? And if I'm okay with HDMI, is there a reason to care about Displayport? And gaining 13% size for 45% or so more money doesn't sound like a great deal.
You may care more about Displayport in another year or two; consider it future-proofing in case you ever want to go to an Eyefinity setup. The diagonal measurement only matters if you're comparing ones with the same aspect ratio; a 24 to 23 inch at the same aspect ratio is only an 8% decrease in viewing area. You're absolutely right though, if you care about zero other features, you are paying 45% more for 13% more surface area. But when you see the height and swivel adjustment, when you use the USB ports, and if you ever need a Displayport connection, you'll realize that it's money well spent.
Just FYI, others have it much cheaper than Dell. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dell - ...18456943233&skuId=4154798&st=u2412m&cp=1&lp=1 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260047 http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?1141227_g10e
Thanks. I'd have to check on shipping since rates to Hawaii tend to vary and there's usually no such thing as free shipping to here. I'm starting to feel bad about having you do all this work for me. Is Dell still generally considered among the best values for low-to mid-range monitors? Edit: I can get the 23" one from Amazon for $170 shipped. I know you think I might be disappointed if I don't go a bit bigger, but that's a pretty good deal.
Yeah, they make some good screens, actually give them a 3 year warranty, and the review consensus is generally very favorable. Try the Best Buy link, you'd be surprised where they're willing to ship for free.
Oh, I was comparing the wrong things anyway. There's a 2440 that's an inch diagonally bigger 2340, although it's also 16:9. For $30 more, that one could be a winner. This quote from one of the Amazon review makes sense to me:
Those 230400 pixels are worth the price difference, but I'm a nut about my 16:10 screens. I'd also pay more for the hub, swivel, and DP support, but ultimately that's your call. Make sure you compare Apples to apples and get the shipped price on that U2412M from Best Buy and compare it with the shipped price on a 2440.
Oh, hmm, another thing is that the 2412 comes with a 3-year warranty and the 2440 only comes with a 1-year. I guess you think I need a 3-year? Hmm... And I'll probably need a new graphics card. Mine was fine for a 17" monitor (Geforce GT530), but it might have issues with a bigger one. Yay on GeForce GTX 650 Ti?
So I went with the 2440 and the GTX650Ti 2GB. The monitor seems plenty big enough for me and everything runs great. However... One of the backlights on the bottom left corner doesn't always come on when I wake up the computer. If I switch from an HDMI cord to a VGA cord or vice versa it will come back on. Switching resolutions will fix it for a couple seconds but switching cords is the only way to fix it so it works until I put the computer to sleep. Think this is fixable or should I just return it to the store for a new monitor? Fortunately they had it in stock at the local Best Buy.
How long is the warranty for store replacement? That's the type of hardware issue you don't want to have, because eventually that backlight might go out. It's also annoying. My vote is to go replace, you're not going to fix that yourself.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Alexandria Technical and Community College has had no problems with safety. It is a great community.
Great for these types of students The types of students that would enjoy this school is those you like one on one help. It's great for those who also like smaller class sizes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They have something called Grocery Bingo, which is free to all students. If you win bingo, you get a bag of groceries.
Food and Dining I usually just eat at home, but the food that I eat at college is wonderful.
Dorm Life I can not say because Alexandria Technical and Community College does not have any dorms.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is amazing. The teachers are willing to help you one on one. They also have a smaller class size so it is easy to talk with the teachers.
Tips for prospective students Make sure if you have any questions, just ask them. They are wonderful in getting back to you with any questions as well. It's a great school.
In three sentences On a scale from 1-10, I believe that Alexandria Technical and Community College is a 10. They have a great hands on system for Law Enforcement and wonderful teachers. They are willing to help people with their problems and questions.

Categories Comments Campus Safety This campus is safe, of course any campus has its dangers. I have not heard of or seen any issues that would be a concern. The college is located next to a high school; the streets are regularly patrolled.
Clubs and Activities The college offers many clubs, there are too many for me to keep track of.
Great for these types of students This college will be perfect for anyone who is trying save money on college, and is looking to major in the art program.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Often the college staff will get together and host a game in the cold winder months. They will hide a small transparent medallion somewhere outside and they will give a clue each day to help us find it within the week. But, here is the catch. The person who finds it first will receive a cash prize—last year the person received $200.
What to do for fun Between classes you are free to roam the halls. The cafeteria has a game room to pass the time; it has a pool table and a few computers which you are free to do whatever you want on. The halls are filled with great pieces of art, it passes the time quickly when you take the time to look at them.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is not like a high school dining hall at all. The atmosphere is very friendly and not too noisy, it's a great place to go to if you want to study. The food is just as good, it is prepared fresh and made to be delicious.
Dorm Life Recently a brand new dorm has just been built right across the street from the college. The rooms are like owning your own house—a small house anyway. They are comfortable, roomy, and will make you feel right at home.
Academic Rigor This college challenges not only your education but also your personality. In order to be successful, you need to realize who you want to be, and how willing you are to challenge yourself to be that person.
Tips for prospective students Procrastination is not an option at this college, you are either learning or flunking and the teachers won't let you forget that.
In three sentences Alexandria Tech is a great 2 year college. It offers a wide variety of Majors at an affordable price. So you get a 4 year education in half the time and half the price.
