Algonquin Park is named after the tribe of native people that originally lived in the area, the Algonquians. The true meaning of the word Algonquin and from where it originated is not known for certain. Algonquin or Algonkin, as it is sometimes spelt, is often erroneously said to mean "bark-eater", a terrible Mohawk insult. According to experts, Algonquin is not a Mohawk word. Some believe that the name Algonquin may have come from the Maliseet word elehgumoqik, meaning "our allies", or from the Mi'kmaq word algoomaking, meaning "of the fish-spearing-place", or from the Maliseet word elakanqin meaning "they are good dancers". The Algonquin Indians call themselves Anishnabe or Anishnabek, which in their own language means the original people, as do the Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi, closely related, but politically independent tribes, whose language also derives from the Algonquian language family.
The Algonquin or Algonkin people were among the first Native Americans to form an alliance with the French, trading furs for firearms. Though the French were good friends to the Algonquins, they did not prove to be good allies, and despite their alliance, the Algonquins suffered near annihilation the by the Iroquois. Victims of European politics, the Algonquins were driven from their vast lands by the Iroquois Confederacy. The powerful Iroquois, aided first by the Dutch and later by the English, defeated both the French and Algonquins. Although the Algonquins were defeated, they were not entirely destroyed, and the Algonquin Indian culture lives on today. Surviving tribe members found refuge near white settlements in and around the Ottawa River valley in Western Quebec and in Eastern Ontario. In 1991, there were approximately 6,000 Algonquin living in Canada.
Things have a way for coming full circle. The Algonquin people, the first inhabitants of the area used tents for shelter. Today, guests at Bartlett Lodge in Algonquin Park can also experience the wonder of sleeping under canvas, in decidedly the most luxurious style of camping; platform tenting. For hundreds of thousands of years, nomadic peoples have used tents for homes, and armies have used tents during campaigns far from home. Throughout history, tent structures of some form or another can be found in particularly ever corner of the globe. Whether a Bedouin tent, tepee, yurta, or wigwam; people have used tents through the ages because they could be built from materials at hand, were portable, and were quick to erect. For an authentic Algonquin Park Camping experience, book a Bartlett Lodge Tent and Breakfast special and see how comfortable an Algonquin platform tent getaway can be.
At Bartlett Lodge, next to the comfort of our guests, protecting nature and preserving our environment is our top priority. We have implemented environmentally friendly and non-polluting practices and products into our day-to-day operations, including installing a peat moss septic system. As an eco-friendly resort, we are doing all that we can to reduce our carbon foot print. To this end, we have made a large investment in solar power installations that service the lodge and guest cabins. Decreasing our use of electricity, a solar thermal hot water system now provides hot water to our dining room. Our Silver Birches cabin contains a solar electric grid-tied system that provides power to the cabin and charges the batteries of our pontoon water taxi. Our Sunrise cabin is completely off grid. As well, all of the electricity that we do purchase is through Bull Frog Power, Ontario's only 100% green electric provider.
In our goal to do all that we can to protect the environment, our Algonquin Park resort has initiated numerous forward-thinking energy saving measures. We are continually seeking out the best environmentally friendly products to use in the day to day operations of the resort. We are always on the lookout for the latest advancements in environmental and non-polluting practices that we can utilize at Bartlett Lodge. The installation at the resort of solar power systems and a peat moss septic system, are examples of the substantial investment we have made in protecting our environment and reducing our consumption of fossil fuels.
Bullfrog Power is a Canadian company that offers clean, renewable electricity to businesses and homes. Bullfrog's electricity comes exclusively from wind and hydro facilities that have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada under its EcoLogo program, instead of from polluting sources like coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear. Bullfrog's generators inject renewable electricity into the local or regional grid to match the amount of power used by a home or business. Bartlett Lodge is proud to be one of the first Ontario resorts to use Bullfrog Power. In switching our electricity provider to Bullfrog Power, our Algonquin Park lodge has made a serious commitment to the environment by promoting the generation of clean, renewable power. By becoming "Bullfrogpowered" and supplying green electricity to our lodge, restaurant and cottages, our electricity dollars go towards clean, renewable power and away from polluting power producers. This is just one way that we do our part in being environmentally responsible.
Always looking for ways to make Bartlett even more environmentally responsible, we have introduced a new type of environment friendly mattress in our Sunrise cabin. The new king sized foam mattress and box-spring in the Sunrise cabin are designed to use a special soya bean oil that replaces most of the traditional fossil fuels based raw materials. By utilizing this innovated new product, we can help to preserve our world by reducing the consumption of petrochemicals and increasing the use of crops harvested naturally. Soya bean oil production is more energy efficient then its synthetic counterparts, so that we also reduce the carbon footprint.
Bartlett Lodge is honoured to have been given the Sustainable Tourism Award of Excellence by the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership. The Ontario Tourism Awards celebrate excellence and innovation in the Ontario tourism industry. The award program features five marketing awards, two journalism awards and seven tourism industry awards of excellence. The awards recognize individuals and organizations that have successfully promoted Ontario as a must-see destination and are judged by an independent, third party panel of industry and marketing experts. Everyone at Bartlett Lodge feels honoured to have received the 2009 Sustainable Tourism Award of Excellence and tremendously proud to be recognized as an Ontario resort leader in sustainable, eco-friendly practices.
To some, sustainable tourism is a rather new concept, but environmentally conscious resort properties like Bartlett Lodge have been quietly promoting its practice for years. According to a definition jointly developed by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada and Parks Canada, Sustainable Tourism is "tourism which actively fosters appreciation and stewardship of the natural, cultural and historic resources and special places by local residents, the tourism industry, governments and visitors. It is tourism which can be sustained over the long term because it results in a net benefit for the social, economic, natural and cultural environments of the area in which it takes place." Although tourism will never be completely sustainable, as every industry has some type of impact on the environment, we can work together towards the goal of becoming more sustainable.

The famous Dorset Observation Tower stands 82 feet high on a mountain top that towers over the tiny village of Dorset. A popular Ontario tourist attraction and local landmark for many years, the Tower is open from mid May through October, for those who wish to climb to the top.

At the Dorset Tower site, there are also scenic hiking trails and an onsite kiosk that sells t-shirts, sweatshirts and caps bearing the Dorset Tower logo. The original Dorset fire tower, built in 1922, was used as part of a network of observation towers to protect the valuable forests from devastating forest fires. The network provided a 310 sq. mile viewing radius. The original fire tower was scheduled to be torn down in 1960, as technology had eliminated the need for fire towers. Realizing that the tower was an important tourist attraction for the area, the community banded together and replaced the old tower with the one that stands today.

In recognition of its heritage value, Algonquin Park was named a National Historic Site of Canada in 1992. The Park was acknowledged for its historic value and for its role in pioneering visitor interpretation centres, developing park management programs, inspiring Canadian artists and preserving historic structures within the park. As of 2012, there are 964 National Historic Sites of Canada and each are places of profound importance to the nation. Like Algonquin Provincial Park, each National Historic Site tells a unique story and provides a significant insight into understanding Canada's identity and history.
While Bartlett Lodge has been an Algonquin Park landmark for almost a century; first opening its doors as an Algonquin Park lodge in 1917, the fascinating history of the Park starts long before, with a few scattered families of aboriginal peoples coming to the area to hunt and fish. The late 19th century brought the biggest change to the area with the introduction of logging. A thriving logging industry grew, supplying North American and International markets with construction lumber and square timber from the area's vast forests of large white and red pines. Homesteaders and farmers arrived soon after. Even as early as the 1890's, the area was recognized for its unique beauty by naturalists and preservationists who wanted to safeguard it from being destroyed by indiscriminant wide scale logging. A Royal Commission was appointed by the Province of Ontario to assess the situation and strike a balance that would satisfy both the loggers with licenses to cut in the area and the preservationists. The commission's final report in 1892 recommended the establishment of the act to make Algonquin a provincial park. They intended Algonquin Park to be an example of good forestry practices, with all logging activities closely monitored. Algonquin Park remains the only designated park in Ontario to this day that allows limited logging.
The Act that established Algonquin as a "National Park of Canada" was passed in 1893, although the Park has always been under the jurisdiction of the province of Ontario, it was first known as a National Park. In 1912, the Park's name was official changed to Algonquin Provincial Park, the very first Provincial Park in Canada. At that time, the Park included an area of 1,466 square miles and encompassed 18 townships. One year later, sections of six additional townships were added. It was the job of the Park's first chief ranger, Peter Thomson, to establish Park boundaries, liaison with the lumber operators and manage the construction of buildings. It was also his responsibility to oversee the removal of all homesteaders in the Park and inform natives that they could no longer hunt or trap on the property. Lumber production increased substantially during this time.
George W. Bartlett, for whom Bartlett Lodge was named, was appointed the second Park superintendent. His mandate was to make the Park self-efficient and to make it more attractive to tourists. Bartlett encouraged short term leases for cottages, camps and lodges to bring more tourists to the Park. During his tenure, the Hotel Algonquin and the Grand Truck Railway's first hotel, the Highland Inn, opened, along with many smaller Algonquin lodges so after. By 1910, as Park rangers patrolled the area, to protect game and watch for forest fires, wildlife numbers began to rise, as did the number of tourists who visited Algonquin Park. From this point, Algonquin Park rapidly became a fashionable tourist destination, very popular with nature enthusiasts and anglers, as word spread of the area's remarkable beauty. Not only was the Park attractive to vacationers as a holiday destination, the Algonquin wilderness caught the attention of artists like Tom Thomson and other members of the Group of Seven, who were inspired by the landscape and spent much time exploring the park. Here they sketched and painted, producing some of their finest and most famous works. It 1917, the same year Bartlett Lodge opened, Tom Thompson died under suspicious circumstances while out on Canoe Lake. To this day, people are intrigued with the mystery surrounding the painter and his untimely death. There is a plaque in recognition of Thomson at the Algonquin Visitors Centre and at the north end of Canoe Lake, there is an old cairn and totem pole memorial that was erected by the artist's friends.
The 1930's saw the beginning of the end of railway service in the park. In 1933, flood waters damaged an old rail trestle on Cache Lake that was used by the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway. When it was determined that the trestle was too dangerous to use and too expensive to repair, through-service on the old O.A. & P.S. southern line was cancelled. In 1952, train service from the west was stopped and in 1959, service from the east ended as well. The last rail service in Algonquin Park ended in 1995, with the closing of the Canadian Northern line that ran through the north end of the park. Today, many Algonquin Park trails run along portions of the old railway right-of-ways.
During the 1950s and 60s, the park witnessed a substantial increase in recreational usage and tourist traffic. In order to ensure that Algonquin Park would continue to serve competing park interests and thrive in the future, a six year consolation process to develop a park management plan was initiated, and in 1974, the Algonquin Master Plan was published. The Master Plan implemented three major changes included dividing the park into specific use zones: Wilderness, Development, Nature Reserve and History, and Recreation-Utilization, establishing the Algonquin Park Forestry Authority and cancelling all existing timber licenses, and putting rules in place to limit the impact of recreational use. The original 1974 master plan has since been amended four times, with the lasted updated version published in 1998. The new plan reconfirms Ontario Park's commitment to protect Algonquin Park and maintain it as a high quality wilderness area for years to come.
Today Algonquin Park is a major Ontario tourist attraction, drawing almost a million visitors through its gates every year. People come here from the four corners of the world to witness the natural splendor of the Park and its abundant plant and wildlife. They come to Algonquin Park to hike, canoe, mountain bike, cross country ski, and learn about more about the natural environment. Algonquin Park is one the most popular provincial parks in Canada. This is due to the Park's amazing natural diversity, its wide variety of activities and attractions, and its close proximity and easy access from Ontario's Golden Horseshoe; a massive population base that includes the large urban centres of Toronto and Ottawa.

The Disability and Abuse Project is launching a "Rule Out Abuse" campaign for medical doctors. The campaign has been endorsed by Vincent J. Felitti, M.D., the co-principal investigator of the ACE Study -- a study conducted by Kaiser Permanente into the later-in-life consequences of adverse childhood events.
Dr. Nora Baladerian is spearheading the campaign after years of noticing that, when presented with patients with disabilities who have traditional symptoms associated with abuse, doctors generally do not consider such a diagnosis as a possibility to rule out.

Final Stats | Quotes
Using a combination of clutch hitting and strong pitching, the Bisons' defeated the nation's number one ranked team, the Vanderbilt Commodores, 5-3, on Tuesday, April 17.
"Tonight was a turning point," head coach Jeff Forehand said. "We have been growing over the season. Tonight we didn't let the small things effect us.
"This game is very important in getting us over the hump. Beating a very good team helps us get over the hill."
In the Bisons' last meeting against the number one ranked Commodores, the Bisons' were defeated 16-7.
The Commodores jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after three innings in Tuesday's game. The Bisons' starter, right-hander, Rob Smithson, settled down from that point on, shutting the Commodores out over the next four innings.
Throughout the first five innings, the Bisons' offense remained quiet, unable to record the big hit. They finally broke through in the sixth, scoring two runs to knot the game at two. Caleb Joseph led off the inning with a single to left center. The next batter, Ryan Wilkins drilled a double to left center, driving in Joseph for the Bisons' first run of the game. One out later, Justin Sanders added an RBI double of his own to even the score.
The Bisons would take the lead in the seventh. After Shane Simpkins reached on a bunt single with two outs, Joseph doubled the Bisons' score on a two-run homer to left, giving the Bisons' their first lead of both the game and the season against Vanderbilt. Sanders added an RBI single to increase the lead to 5-2.
"I guessed changeup and he threw it," Joseph said of the home run. "It was a good pitch. I just squared up and put a good swing on it, and it went out of the ball park."
Right-hander, Chris Burnett relieved Smithson with runners on first and second in the eighth. After walking the bases loaded, Burnett induced the next batter, Ryan Davis, to fly out to center field for the first out of the inning.
Brandon McClurg then entered the game in relief of Burnett. The first batter he faced, Alex Feinberg, grounded into a fielder's choice, driving in a run to bring the score to 5-3. McClurg struck out the final batter of the inning to preserve the Bisons two-run lead.
After recording two quick outs in the ninth, McClurg got the Commodores number three hitter, Pedro Alvarez, to swing and miss at a 60 mph changeup to seal the victory for the Bisons.
"I had chills," McClurg said. "It was a big moment; the number one team, and their number one hitter. That is about as big as it gets."
The Bisons' were backed by a record crowd of 1,002, most of whom were present until the last out.
"It was exciting," Joseph said. "The crowd was amazing. They were into it until the last strike. It felt like we were at Vandy, except this time it was our house."
Smithson earned the win to improve his record to 5-3. In seven innings, he gave up three runs on seven hits, while striking out five.
"The team played awesome," Smithson said. "The coaches have been getting on us all season, telling us that we can beat anybody. We proved tonight that they were right."
The Bisons were led on offense by Ryan Wilkins who went 3-4 with an RBI. The freshman first basemen is batting .353 this season.
"We just played our game and didn't let the number one ranking get to us," Wilkins said. "It was a great experience for my first year of collegiate ball, playing the number one team in the country. It was a big step forward for the Lipscomb baseball program and I am glad I could be part of it."

Gwyneth Paltrow's Son, Moses, Wants To Marry Faith Hill's Daughter Audrey! How Cute!
If Gwyneth Paltrow gets her way, there'll be a merger of two celeb families when her son, Moses, weds Audrey McGraw.
"My son is in love with your daughter," Gwyneth Paltrow shares with Faith Hill, who interviewed her in January's In Style magazine. It seems that little Moses, 4, has a thing for older women — the country singing superstar's daughter, Audrey, is 9!
Gwyneth says her kids have 'weird accents'
Gwyneth's baby boy bonded with Faith's little lady while Gwyneth filmed the movie Country Strong in Nashville with Faith's husband of 14 years, Tim McGraw. "Don't you just love our babies?" gushes Faith. "I love mine, and I love yours!" replies Gwyneth.
The 38-year-old loves Faith and Tim's clan so much that she's hoping they can become one big happy family someday. "We might really become a family when he marries Audrey!" Gwyneth tells Faith, 43. Can you even imagine the guest list for that wedding? It would be like a who's who of Grammy and Oscar winners!
Moses doesn't like his daddy's music
While they're hoping to join forces eventually, both families will be spending the holidays apart this year. Faith, Tim and their kids — Audrey, Gracie, 13 and Maggie, 12 — will be in their native Nashville, while Gwyneth and husband Chris Martin, 33, will be decking the halls with Moses and his big sister, Apple, 6, in upstate New York. "I'm excited," says Gwyneth. "We always get a big old tree and go see movies. It's so cozy."

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP)
The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) was endorsed at the African Union Heads of State Summit as a New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) program in July 2003. The overall goal of CAADP is to "Help African countries reach a higher path of economic growth through agriculture- led development, which eliminates hunger, reduces poverty and food insecurity, and enables expansion of exports." CAADP is a growth-oriented agricultural development agenda, aimed at increasing agriculture growth rates to a minimum of six percent per year to create the wealth needed for rural communities and households in Africa to prosper.

The Great Green Wall or Great Green Wall of the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative ( L' initiative de la Grande Muraille Verte pour le Sahara et le Sahel) is a planned project to plant a wall of trees across Africa at the southern edge of the Sahara desert as a means to prevent desertification. Initiated in 2005 by H.E. President Olusugon Obasanjo of Nigeria, and Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, It was adopted and developed by the African Union to address the detrimental social, economic and environmental impacts of land degradation and desertification in the Sahel and the Sahara.
Monitoring for Environment and Security in Africa ( MESA )
The purpose of the MESA programme is to increase the capacity in information management, decision-making and planning of African continental, regional and national institutions mandated for environment, climate, and food security. This will be achieved by enhancing access to and exploitation of relevant Earth Observation applications in Africa. This platform is established to provide relevant information to all stakeholders about this programme
The Multilateral Environmental Agreements Program (MEAs)
The EC-ACP Capacity Building Project on Multi-lateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs Project) was established at AUC (Africa Hub) in 2009. The MEAs Project has as overall objective to strengthen and enhance the endogenous capacity of African ACP countries to effectively implement MEAs (both regional and continental) and related commitments, leading to sound management of the environment and natural resources and therefore to sustainable development and poverty eradication in Africa.
The aim of this program is to integrate biodiversity issues in African Union Commission policies, strategies and programs. In this regard AUC support members' state in the implementation of: the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD); the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS); and illicit wildlife trafficking.

Unfortunately the rocketry group has cancelled the February 11 launch due to continuing wet conditions at Lucerne Dry Lake. Thus we will not be camping on February 10-11. Mr. Labrador has arranged for three makeup launch opportunities for our scouts - on February 12 and March 4 at Santa Fe Dam, and back at Lucerne Dry Lake on April 8.

Free Delivery on all orders to UK Mainland - today only!
We do deliver to other non UK mainland destinations and into Europe.
Please see our delivery information page for further details.
This product is available in the following sizes. All sizes are stated in cm
Please read the information below to ensure you measure correctly for your curtains. It is worth taking extra care when taking measurements and we advise the use of a metal tape to ensure you measure with accuracy. Please take your measurements in CM only.
We always advise that you measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window.
If you are fitting a new track or pole this should extend 15cm to 20cm either side of the window. This will allow the curtains to be stacked either side of the window.
Measure the length of the pole between the finials (decorative ends).
Measure the length of the rail. If you have a rail with an overlap in the centre, measure the length of the rail and add the length of the overlap to this measurement.
The length of your curtains will depend on your preference. Typical length measurements are as follows.
A: Full length which is approximately 1.5 to 3cm above floor level.
B: Above radiator typically 1 to 3cm above the radiator.
C: Below the window sill typically around 15cm.
Measure from the top of the track or bottom of the curtain rings for a curtain pole to the desired length of your curtains.
For Tab Top or eyelet curtains you should take your measurements from the very top of the pole.
All our curtains have a range of customisable options.

Jennifer Baughan needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
Help me Design a logo and layout for useful and distinctive business cards, stationary, advertising services for clinical psychology practice serving parents of children with autism. Whimsy and sophistication with color and visuals that communicate Hope and Trust for parents who are searching for treatments that will put the light back in their child's eyes.
Jennifer White-Baughan Ph.D.
I am a Ph.D. trained clinical psychologist with a background as a registered nurse. I did trauma work for 17 years in refugee populations both domestically and internationally. My life has taken me around the globe to such places as Cambodia, Sri Lanka after the tsunami to Sierra Leone, West Africa to train those who work with child soldiers. At the age of 57 I am embarking on a new passion melding my experience working with children as a psychologist and a decade in nursing. My work will be with a private practice specializing in an intervention for autism which works with the parents as the delivery agents of developmental relational skills and working with a not for profit which serves the under served autism population.
I want a logo, color theory and layout which is distinctive, sophisticated, elegant and a bit of whimsy. The intervention I am working with teaches parents to slow down and seeks to help them feel competent again. Autism can push a parent to their limits and the standard health care system has left them with little hope that they can help their children remediate. Autism is on the rise and it affects more boys than girls. Parents watch as the light goes out of their child's eyes at around 18-24 months. Children who spoke in full sentences now cannot speak or echo only what they hear. Some are in constant gastro-intestinal pain and are not able to communicate. Parents are bewildered by the medical systems and physicians often are not prepared to help by education or by good research to inform them.
Please help me with a thoughtful and creative way to offer HOPE to these families.
Thank You

Congress and the administration seem likely to extend the first-time-home-buyer tax credit. Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid wants to extend it through December 2010 but phase out the amount over time; Republican Senator Johnny Isakson, a former real estate agent, wants to extend it through June but double the income limit and make it available to all home buyers.
This is a bad idea.
The main argument for the tax credit is that it stimulates the economy and stabilizes the housing market. Seen purely as a stimulus, the tax credit is highly inefficient.

An Investigation on the Signal Processing Techniques Used by the Toothed Whales for Target Discrimination
PIs: Wu-Jung Lee, James Preisig, Alessandro Bocconcelli, Applied Ocean Science & Engineering
Peter Tyack, Biology
Grant Funded 2010
Grant Funded 2010
Accurate target discrimination remains one of the outstanding challenges for human-made sonar systems. Understanding the toothed whale's broadband biosonar system, which has evolved a sophisticated ability to discriminate biological targets successfully, could guide future developments in effective target discrimination techniques for human-made sonar systems. We propose to investigate the toothed whales' echolocation-based target discrimination process by conducting an experiment which involves the implementation of a novel experimental setup, similar to the natural process by which toothed whales select prey. Behavior and acoustic data, including outgoing clicks and echoes received from the targets, will be collected simultaneously using a combination of an animal-mounted digital acoustic recording tag, far-field hydrophone array, and underwater video cameras. These data will be jointly analyzed to give insights to the toothed whales' target discrimination ability. This interdisciplinary project requires combined expertise in marine mammal biology, acoustic scattering physics, and signal processing techniques. Results of this study can advance our understanding of the toothed whales' biosonar system and improve our ability to use active acoustics to study the biological processes in the ocean across multiple trophic levels.
