Editors note: This article is re printed with the kind permission of the author, one of the foremost experts on Lithium production in the world today!
By R. Keith Evans
The lithium market has two major segments - one for mineral concentrates with a low enough iron content to be suitable for direct use in glasses, glass ceramics, ceramics, enamels and glazes. The second is for chemicals, metals and metal derivatives.
Talison Lithium site, Greenbushes Australia The former market is dominated by Talison Minerals (Now Talison Lithium) with its large scale production of spodumene concentrates in Western Australia with much lower tonnages produced in Zimbabwe (petalite) and Portugal (lepidolite).
Tanco in Canada was a former supplier to the market.
Talison is currently ex-panding capacity from 260,000 tpa to 480,000 tpa of a variety of grades but a high percentage of current and future production will be as feedstock for chemical production.
Lithium chemical production, except in China where spodumene dominates as feedstock and on a small scale in Brazil, is based exclusively on brines from Nevada, Chile and Argentina. (Photo of Salar De Atacama, Chile)
Current chemical production capacity approximates to 130,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalents (LCE's) - equivalent to approximately 24,500 tonnes of Li. Chemical demand in 2008 was 91,500 tonnes of LCE"s. It dropped to 70,000 tonnes in 2009 as a result of the recession and one of the major producers estimates that in 2010 demand will approximate to 94,000 tonnes therefore indicating a current excess capacity of about 35,000 tonnes.
In anticipation of a major increase in demand based mainly on the large scale electrification of motor vehicles there has been a rush to develop new sources of supply from continental brines, pegmatites, a geothermal brine, hectorite clay and the unique mineral jadarite found in Serbia.
Future demand estimates are numerous and vary greatly mainly because of the difficulty of estimating the demand for batteries in vehicles. Variables include the rate of penetration, the nature of the vehicles - whether hybrids, plug-ins or fully electric and the battery chemistries.
The most recent estimate was presented at a conference in Seoul in September 2010 by Dr. Duesterhoeft of the General Motors Strategic Planning Group. As with most other estimates she presented two scenarios called respectively "battery sceptical" and the "uber green" . By 2020 she estimated electric car sales as either 7.5 million or 20.0 million which by 2070 grows to either 50.0 million or 170.0 million. Translating these figures into LCE requirements for 2020, 2050 and 2070 she estimates demand at between 15,000 and 35,000 tonnes, 150,000 and 400,000 tonnes and 250,000 and 750,000 tonnes respectively.
Adding to demand will be the growth in conventional applications probably increasing at between 7% and 10% annually and the potential demand for non-vehicular large batteries for grid storage particularly for intermittent generating systems such as wind and solar.
Project developers have announced target tonnages at the salares of Olaroz, Rincon and Cauchari in Argentina, Tibet, China, at the Salton Sea KGRA in California, at two pegmatites (Mt. Catlin and Mt. Marion) in W. Australia, at Western Lithium's large pegmatite in Quebec, at Western Lithium's hectorite clay project on the Nevada/Oregon border and Rio Tinto's jadarite deposit in Serbia. Together their initial tonnages would-be producers say will total 228,000 tpa LCE's. Other companies such as Lithium One are expected to make announcements in the near future to add to the total.
In addition to the potential new sources of supply Chemetall has announced a phased expansion from 38,000 tpa currently to approximately 65,000 tpa by 2020 based on current market estimates and FMC plans a 30% expansion to 23,000 tonnes. SQM has not, to my knowledge, announced anything more specific than its intention to maintain its market share. However, the volume of brine currently being pumped (grading 2,700 ppm Li) to allow the production of 1.5 million tpa of potash contains such a large volume of lithium in excess of its current production capacity of 40,000 tpa that 400,000 tpa of LCE's are being reinjected into the aquifer. The potential for expansion using these highly concentrated brines is obviously very large.
The tonnages of expanded production, excluding SQM and any major brine increases in China, plus new projects totals 264,000 tonnes - 170,000 tonnes greater than estimated demand in 2010. With so many projects racing to come on stream there could well be a major over-supply problem in the short term.
Future demand estimates, although they vary greatly, are consistently huge calling for production levels that dwarf those that are current. Matching demand will require an appropriate tonnage of reserves. In 2006 and 2008 William Tahil of Meridian International Research, produced reports arguing against the development of lithium-ion batteries because of the inadequacy of reserves. In his reports he claimed that only continental brines could be considered as a source, that production in the Salar de Atacama was possibly illegal and many other comments that I described as alarmist and, in some respects ludicrous. More recently he has suggested that battery requirements per kWh of capacity are more than double what they really are (1.4 - 1.5 kg versus 0.6 kg) and that conversion of technical grade carbonate to battery grade involves losses of 70% (in actuality the price difference between the two products is between 5-10%).
After Tahil's first report I was approached by a number of very concerned battery manufacturers asking for a response. I have now written several reports. My estimates, as was the case in a National Research Council report published in the mid 1970's, are essentially on inventory of known resources with published tonnages which by consideration of grade could be considered potentially viable in an environment of rapidly increasing demand. Higher costs may be involved but it is worth noting that in Li-ion batteries, projected to be much the largest future market, the cost of the lithium is only between one and three percent of the battery cost. In 1975 most of the tonnages were in respect of pegmatites and we made deductions to allow for mining and processing losses. However, only one major brine was included and not having a reasonable estimate of what recovery would be realised an in situ tonnage was included. Apart from the pegmatite tonnages in the 1975 report all other tonnages are in situ.
Other authors developed similar estimates to mine which currently approximate to 34 million tonnes Li with 7.8 million tonnes Li at current operations and 7.2 million projects at fairly advanced stages of evaluation. Even the USGS which is very conservative in its estimates have now increased their resource estimate to 25.5 million tonnes.
To put these figures in the context of vehicle demand each million tonnes of Li is sufficient for 395 million Chevrolet Volts or 250 million Nissan Leafs-the first two mass-market cars scheduled for launch in the United States. Some listed resources may never become economic reserves - but new occurrences will be discovered and existing occurrences will be enlarged. As lithium is not consumed in the batteries, recycling will be important.
Probably, the most underestimated resource is the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia covering an area of 10,000 km2 . Currently the resource tonnage is listed by the USGS, myself and others as 9 million tonnes Li. The grade is low, the magnesium content is high, the salar floods seasonally and the political environment is discouraging. However, the tonnage is for the uppermost and thin salt horizon whereas there are seven salt horizons all reputedly highly porous with an aggregate thickness of 170 meters and drilling has not reached the base of the salar at 230 metres.
Many press articles have suggested that the future of the electric vehicle is dependent upon the develop-ment of the Salar de Uyuni. This is not the case but because of its size its development seems inevitable at some stage and possibly vital in an "ubar green" scenario. This is potentially the world's largest source. Unfortunately, political dogma is dominating technological reality and the fate of the resource and its reliability as a long term source of supply is questionable.
Keith Evans, November, 2010
Keith Evans, a geologist by profession, started his career in lithium looking at the development options at Bikita Minerals in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) which for decades was the dominant producer of high grade lithium minerals for the glass and ceramic industry. Subsequently, he joined Lithium Corporation of America (now FMC) and later moved to Amax and managed the Feasibility Study of the main portion of the Salar de Atacama in Chile. The claims were subsequently acquired by SQM and their operation is the worlds major source of lithium chemicals. He was a Keynote Speaker at the first two Lithium Supply and Marketing Conferences organised by Industrial Minerals Events.

The subject of UFO's are of course nothing new, but continue to create controversy, debate and investigation, within the scientific community and public-at-large, as to their existence or fallacy. Yet most studies of 'Unidentified Flying Objects' are predominately concerned with sightings from the modern-era, particularly that of the 20th and now 21st centuries.
The same is true of Pennsylvania. Temple University's tenured Professor David M. Jacobs, in such works as The Threat: The Secret Agenda: What the Aliens Really Want..And How They Plan to Get It, has investigated the 'abductee phenomena,' while the mysterious falling object that swept over the southwestern sky of Pennsylvania in 1965, purportedly crashing in the woods near Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, south of Pittsburgh, also continues to elicit much discussion.
However, various newspapers within Pennsylvania, reported how on Saturday, August 14th, 1869, the following mysterious sighting or encounter, transpired in broad daylight near Adamstown, located in East Cocalico Township, Lancaster County:
"About two hundred yards north of the village is an open lot, and at 12 0'clock, while the villagers were taking dinner, a luminous body was seen to settle near the centre {sic} of this lot. It is represented by four or five different parties, who witnessed it from several points, to have assumed a square shape and shooting up into a column about three or four feet in height and about two feet in thickness.The sun was shining brightly at the time, and under its rays, the object glittered like a column of burnished silver. The presence, after reaching its full effulgence, gradually faded away, and in ten minutes time it had entirely disappeared.
Those who saw it were unable to tell what it was. It seemed to inspire terror rather than admiration. After it had disappeared a number of persons visited the spot, but not a trace of anything unusual could be found. Similar objects have been seen in the neighborhood on several occasions during the night time, but none before in the day time, or so bright as this.
The land in the immediate vicinity is dry, there being no swamp about, otherwise the phenomenon might be accounted for. We do not know whether the Jack o' Lantern assumes such large proportions or whether it appears in midday under a bright sun. Perhaps some of our friends versed in the sciences can solve the mystery." -Lancaster Express.
It is interesting in this description, that even during the 19th century, as today, individuals were not 'gullible,' as many would believe, but sought first for a 'scientific' explanation, and were quite familiar with swamp gases to that of the 'will-of-the-wisp' or Jack o' Lanterns,' a wide-spread phenomenon of mysterious 'balls of light' seen throughout the world today.
Albert Einstein once remarked, how, 'Imagination is the true source of all science.' Thus, it is always best to keep an 'open-mind,' when it comes to the unknown, since far too often, what was once considered 'science-fiction,' has repeatedly become 'scientific fact.'
The above account is only ONE of MANY diverse records, available within the collections of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, topics which are as pertinent today as they were in the past.
History often does indeed 'repeat itself,' not only as to the existence of unexplained phenomena, but in mankind's continual search to understand and solve such mysteries. 'Curiosity' may often 'kill the cat,' but such sacrifices into the unknown has resultingly given us most of our modern inventions and conveniences.

The Oaky Grove Plantation was located in the Shotwell community of Wake County, North Carolina. Oaky Grove has been home to generations of the Price, Blake, and Doub families. Before the Civil War, the Price plantation consisted of 4,500 acres of farm land. Today, what remains is a 28-acre property owned by the Doubs family and contains the two-story Federal style home, a smokehouse, barn, and the family cemetery.

STORRS, Conn. – Though many swimmers won individual events, the points simply did not add up for the Yale women's swimming and diving team on Saturday. Out of 16 total events the Bulldogs claimed nine, yet still fell to UConn 157-143. This makes the Bulldogs 5-4 in dual meets for the season.
Things began in the early afternoon when Yale took a very close second in the 200-yard medley relay. Sophomore Cynthia Tsay of Yale's 'A' team had the fastest backstroke split at 27.54. UConn's Caitlin Gallagher – former schoolmate of sophomore Molly Albrecht – made up ground for the Huskies during the breaststroke portion. Junior Hayes Hyde, however, took back the lead with a 25.69 butterfly split to UConn's 26.20. The Huskies had a fast freestyle leg and took first with a time of 1:46.93 to the Bulldogs' 1:47.65. The Yale 'B' team finished in fifth position.
In the 1000-yard freestyle, the top two spots went to swimmers from UConn who finished in a dead heat with a time of 10:18.25. Captain Annie Killian took third (10:37.11), Margaret Brown took fourth (10:46.07) and Angela Lee took sixth (10:48.16).
The Bulldogs really showed that they came to play in the 200-yard freestyle. Joan Weaver finished first in a time of 1:54.28, and Hayes Hyde finished second in a time of 1:55.03.
Athena Liao brought this same ferocity into the 100-yard breaststroke. Liao went out at 31.11, which put her in second position at the half, and came home in 33.64 to win the event in 1:04.75 as compared to the second-place UConn time of 1:04.77.
Ileana Lucos won the 200 fly handily. Lucos posted the fastest splits at the 50, the 100 and in the final 50 to finish in a time of 2:04.32, well ahead of second-place UConn (2:06.01).
In the one-meter diving event, the upperclassman pairing of sophomore Paige Meneses and junior Rachel Rosenberg took second and third. Both Meneses (279.30) and Rosenberg (276.53) yet again posted scores that would have qualified them for the NCAA Zone Championships, had they not already done so on several occasions. UConn's Danielle Cucco won the event with a score of 289.20. Freshman Christina Brasco finished seventh.
After the break for the one-meter diving Yale won five consecutive events. In the 100 free Ileana Lucos took first with a time of 52.35, and teammate Hayes Hyde was half a second behind in second position with a time of 52.85.
Molly Albrecht then won the 200-yard backstroke. Albrecht was nearly a second ahead of the competition on every lap, touching in 2:03.64. The next fastest time was UConn's 2:07.05.
The 200-yard breaststroke was Athena Liao's second win of the day. Liao finished in 2:18.08, ahead of UConn's Caitlin Gallagher – whom Liao defeated in the 100 breaststroke – in 2:18.79.
What the Bulldogs lacked in the 1000-yard freestyle, Molly Albrecht made up for in the 500-yard freestyle. After the first 50 yards Albrecht could just not be caught. Her final time was 4:56.33, an even six seconds ahead of UConn's second place finisher (5:02.33).
Hayes Hyde had her first win of the day in the 100 fly. Her time was 57.05. Ileana Lucos finished third in a time of 57.79.
In the three-meter diving event, Rachel Rosenberg finished second and Paige Meneses finished fourth. Like in the one-meter, UConn's Danielle Cucco won and Christina Brasco finished seventh.
The Bulldogs confirmed that they are a force to be reckoned with in sprint freestyle in the meet's last event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. The Yale 'A' squad of Ileana Lucos, Cynthia Tsay, Molly Albrecht and Joan Weaver posted the fastest splits all throughout the race to finish in a time of 3:32.09, well ahead of the UConn 'A' team's 3:35.33.
Next week the Bulldogs will host Brown University for their last dual meet of the season. The meet will begin at 1:00 p.m. at Kiphuth Exhibition Pool.

Percy Harvin is done for the season.
The Vikings confirmed on Wednesday evening that Harvin had been placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury.
That news comes just hours after Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said it was hard to say whether Harvin would play this season. But now it's official: Harvin is out through the rest of the year and, if the Vikings make it, the postseason as well.
Harvin got off to a great start this year, with 60 catches in the season's first eight weeks, plus a 35.9-yard kickoff return average, both a kickoff return touchdown and a rushing touchdown. But he got hurt in Week Nine and hasn't been back on the field since. And now he won't be back on the field in a game until the 2013 preseason.

Thursday 29th May 2014 in The Argus
A ballot is being planned for parents to have their say over controversial plans to convert a school into an academy.
Brighton and Hove City Council's Green administration is proposing to organise the ballot of parents at Hove Park School, which is currently considering becoming an academy.
The decision on whether to voluntarily become an academy is taken by school governors and the school previously declined to hold a parental ballot as it is not legally obliged to.
Brighton and Hove Green councillors have stepped in and are calling for cross-party support for a council-run ballot of parents.
"It's disappointing that the school won't conduct their own ballot.
"However we always said that we would do all we can to make sure that parents have their say.
"We believe in consulting on big decisions such as these, especially when they are so controversial.
"I'm calling on the other parties to support our proposal for this ballot.
"Regardless of what the school decides to do, we will seek a good working relationship to try and ensure the best for children, staff and the community – as we have done with the city's existing free schools and academies."
Parent pressure group Hands Off Hove Park has been objecting to the plans and has gathered almost 1,700 signatures on a petition to keep the school under local authority control.
Councillors will discuss the proposal for a ballot on June 2.
Natasha Steel, who has two daughters at the school in year 10 and sixth form, has signed the petition.
She said: "I'm thrilled the council are backing us on this one and are looking to hold the ballot.
"The consultation process has just been awful – I'm totally appalled by the lack of balance on the panel.
"The information was rushed out and a lot of parents didn't even know when the sessions were, which has resulted in a very poor turnout.
"A ballot would fully engage the parents and it's the only real way to gauge the level of support for it.
"We're urging as many parents as possible to get to the meeting on June 2 to get their voices heard – it feels like the only way in which we can do it at the moment."
Another parent, Robb Johnson, who has two boys in year nine and 10, has recorded a song about the proposed changes for Hands Off Hove Park.
He said: "It's really good news and if it does go ahead it will provide parents with a chance to get their opinion across.
"The consultation period and the leaflets have been designed to disengage, this will give us our voice."
Both parents thought the ballot would show an overwhelming opposition to academy status.

Reader Comments
Regarding the Web Awards for Zen Garden, it's a shoe-in for a finalist, and the finalists get invited. In other words, you'd get a free badge to the Interactive conference. I'm not sure if they cover airfare though. Good luck.
Ooh! That would make my decision easier!
With all due respect to the conductor of the Web Log ranking, I have reservations about a web-log that ranks itself among the most read in Canada, a nation of millions of web users… Nevertheless, congrats on your site's ranking; your site content and style alone set your 'blog' (I hate that term) near the top of many lists. Keep doing what you're doing, and I applaud all others like you.
If you take a look at his ranking system- http://www.colbycosh.com/old/july03.html#dccd - you'll see it's far from scientific. I get the feeling the whole thing is a little tongue-in-cheek anyway, so I'm more 'amused' than 'honoured'.
But thanks for the nice comment!
If it's at all possible, you have to come to SxSW.
I'm going to do my best. James' observation might make it a whole lot easier for me to say yes.
I almost can't *not* go this year.
Dave - really, trust me, it's a must-do. You're *only* in Canada. I can say this, having flown to Austin TX JUST for the interactive event. However, I may find it more difficult to get there this time around, being in Australia somewhere with a backpack trying to save pennies and staying at the cheapest accommodation going. Heck, a few nights at The Omni Downtown will be like LUXURY!
Who knows, maybe I will see you there. Still working on how the buggery bollocks I'm gonna do this.
But you, sir, have NO excuse.
Er, I missed out the point that I flew "to Austin TX JUST for the interactive event" from the UK. You probably sussed it out for yourself, but other people reading these comments might not get the point.
Ho hum
You don't have to be present to enter the SXSW awards. If you make the finals, they'll give you a free badge - but they don't pay airfare or the hotel.
Some people have, in the past, had special "fundraising" projects to help cover their costs. As brilliant as you are at web development, I'm sure you would have many volunteers willing to make a donation in exchange for some development work - if you had the time (some people last year basically gave a "raincheck" for future services if they weren't able to complete all their fundraising projects before the conference.)
Always glad to see another Orion fan in the web world. If you're interested enough in Orion art to want to make some, we can always use another hand with FreeOrion – we are to the MOO series what FreeCiv is to Civ, or, at least, that's where we're going. http://www.freeorion.org or http://www.artclusta.com/bb/.

Asian lacquer is derived from the sap of the tree rhus vernicifera.When refined, brushed onto another surface, and allowed to dry, it provides a highly durable finish that protects against temperature, humidity, and insects. Long admired in China, Korea, and Japan for both its protective and aesthetic properties, this medium has been used for millennia in the manufacture of a variety of objects, from food utensils to storage containers for paper, textiles, or other materials sensitive to environmental damage.
Primitive lacquering was known in Japan as early as the third century B.C., but did not develop into a significant art form until the introduction of Chinese lacquering techniques in the seventh or eighth century A.D. Japanese craftsmen quickly developed the art in new ways, and by as early as the tenth century A.D. a uniquely Japanese style of lacquer work had already appeared. The most distinctive characteristic of Japanese lacquers is the extensive use of the maki-e, or "sprinkled picture," technique. Maki-e lacquers are created by sifting powdered gold, silver, or copper through fine bamboo tubes onto a wet lacquer surface to create a design. Once the lacquer has dried, the design can either be polished flush with the surface of the vessel (hiramaki-e), built up with extra layers of lacquer and powders to create a relief effect (takamaki-e), or covered over with additional coats of lacquer which are then partially ground away to give the appearance of the design emerging from the surface of the vessel (togidashimaki-e).
Raw lacquer is highly toxic and must be applied slowly and with great care. Moreover, each coat of lacquer must be fully dry before the next one can be applied. Since the surfaces of lacquer vessels may consist of several dozen coats of lacquer, the manufacture of lacquered objects may take months or even years of intermittent labor to complete. Because of these labor costs, combined with the costs of the precious metals used in the maki-e technique, high-quality lacquer wares were often extremely expensive.

PORTSMOUTH-- Service Credit Union continued its annual support of more than eight years to the Pease Greeters program which welcomes and honors military personnel landing at the Portsmouth International Airport at the Pease Tradeport.
Service Credit Union donated $3,000 to the Pease Greeters at their new Corporate Offices at 3003 Lafayette Road in Portsmouth Thursday, February 21st.
Since its inception in 2005, the Pease Greeters have welcomed 460 flights and 100,000 troops no matter what time of the day. The nonprofit organization meets flights coming in from and going out for deployment.
"Service Credit Union has been very supportive of all of our activities," says David Frye of the Pease Greeters Board of Directors. "They have been a continual presence with the Pease Greeters and we really appreciate their contribution year after year after year." The Pease Greeters program welcomes the military in three phases. First, the troops are welcomed by a line of greeters when they exit their flights. Secondly, the troops are supplied with refreshments and thirdly, the greeters conduct a parting ceremony honoring the men and women for their service. Service Credit Union donations allow the organization to provide refreshments to the troops.
"Service Credit Union is extremely proud of the role we can serve to help the Pease Greeters in their noble endeavor to pay tribute to our troops," says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. "It is a pleasure and an honor for the credit union to give back to men and women who serve our country here and overseas."
The donation could not have come at a better time since Pease Greeters funding has hit an all-time low, according to the Pease Greeters.
The Pease Greeters are one of the few organizations worldwide which have a group of civilians and veterans formally welcoming troops at airports.

Memoirs of Vidocq: Master of Crime
AK Press, 1935 - 370 pages
Criminal exploits, secret agent intrigue, and clever -disguises fill the pages of Francois Eugene Vidocq's memoirs. A legendary figure in history, Vidocq is known as the first detective and an inspiration to great writers such as Honore de Balzac, Victor Hugo and Edgar Allen Poe. As a player in the criminal underworld, Vidocq is a master of disguises and an accomplished thief, eventually turning his unlawful talents toward catching criminals as the first French chief of secret police. Playing both sides of the law, Vidocq's life highlights the blurry line between law enforcement and the criminals they pursue. Vidocq has a knack for finding trouble throughout his topsy-turvy life, getting into one hot situation after another, often finding himself behind bars, only to escape the first chance he gets. This book will take you on a whirlwind tour of 1830s France, including the circus stage, pirate ships, prison cells and beautiful women's boudoirs. Vidocq's life story is unforgettable and includes some of the best crime stories and juicy tales ever written. Last year, Gerard Depardieu starred in the French film adaptation of the memoirs, -titled Vidocq.
"He preferred the tumultuous life of danger to the contentment of security. His story is one long swashbuckling adventure as he breaks out of jails, pursues actresses, duels to the death, raids the hells of criminals and stalks the Paris night in a thousand disguises."—Philip John Stead, Vidocq, Picaroon of Crime

A Twilight Odyssey
While in Hawke's Bay why not treat yourself to an evening of indulgence on the world's first progressive winery dinner. Experience the best of the best!
Te Mata Peak is not only the first place in the world to see the sunrise each morning but also one of the best places in the world to watch it set. With stunning 360 degree panoramic views there are few places in the world that offer vistas as dramatic as those from Te Mata Peak at sunset. Add a glass of premium New Zealand bubbles to the equation and the scene is set for a truly amazing 'champagne sunset'.
This is how Odyssey New Zealand likes to watch the sun disappear each evening on their Twilight Odyssey. The critically acclaimed Twilight Odyssey is the world's only progressive winery dinner and take's you on a culinary journey across the Hawke's Bay region visiting some of the country's premium gastronomic winery destinations. This truly unique experience allows you to indulge in top local produce accompanied by a plethora of exceptional wines at a selection of the region's top dining venues – all in one truly memorable evening.
Contrast the grandeur of the country's oldest winery the Mission Estate with the contemporary masterpieces of Elephant Hill and Craggy Range. Soak up the atmosphere among the giant barrels at Vidal Estate New Zealand's first winery restaurant. Odyssey New Zealand takes you on a culinary adventure of great proportions filled with beautiful scenery and epic architecture.
Vidal Estate
The conviviality begins at Vidal Estate with an interactive wine tasting as you share platters loaded with the best and freshest local ingredients.
Founded in 1905 by Anthony Joseph Vidal, Vidal Estate is one of Hawke's Bay's original wineries. Anthony Joseph Vidal journeyed from Spain to New Zealand and in 1905 built his winery in a converted racing stable. It was from there he became one of New Zealand's early wine innovators.
Today the Vidal legacy continues and is captured in the ambience of the Vidal winery restaurant and Vidal's award-winning wines created with food in mind. New Zealand's first winery restaurant opened its doors in 1979, on the original winery site where Anthony's passion for sharing wine with great food and good friends lives on today.
The menu features a comprehensive wine list with grapes sourced from New Zealand's premium wine growing regions, including Hawke's Bay's world renowned Gimblett Gravels.
Te Mata Peak
With the mood for the evening set in place, you continue the journey to the top of Te Mata Peak 399m above sea level. Maori Legend has it that a giant named Te Mata died on this spot while proving his love to a beautiful maiden Hinerakau and his prostrate body forms Te Mata Peak. At sunset one can often see, in the mists which stretch from the crown of Kahuraanake, the beautiful blue cloak with which the grieving Hinerakau covered the body of her husband before leaping to her own death from the precipice on the Waimarama side of the peak. The gully at the base of the cliff was formed when her body struck the earth. A glass of premium New Zealand bubbles is provided to help awaken the imagination and absorb the legendary panoramic views that have been enjoyed by the locals for centuries.
Craggy Range
We descend into the picturesque Tuki Tuki valley where Craggy Range winery nestles under the dramatic landscape of Te Mata Peak. A view of stunning proportions that will mesmerise you with its magnificence.
Craggy Range is a family legacy of the Peabody and Smith families. Together they put a plan in motion to buy the best vineyard land, select parcels of grapes grown by the country's best farmers and choose a place for their restaurant and cellar door.
At Craggy Range the restaurant is called "Terrôir" – its name reflecting that its food, the vineyard's wine and its culture, come together sublimely, in a unique and dramatic setting. Terrôir sources Hawke's Bay's finest meat, produce and seafood providing fabulous New Zealand cuisine with a French country theme. Each dish is prepared sensitively and cooked by skilled people who are passionate about quality food, presented in a style which is simple and real.
The Terrôir restaurant wine list provides the most comprehensive view of Craggy Range's Single Vineyard portfolio. Every wine comes from a specific vineyard site that gives its own unique imprint on the taste of that wine. All wines on this wine list will enhance the fresh, seasonal local produce used in Terrôir's dishes, guaranteeing a fantastic food and wine experience.
Elephant Hill
Odyssey New Zealand can also take you along an alternative scenic route to the coastal appellation of Te Awanga which overlooks the Cliffs of Cape Kidnappers stretching out into the Pacific. Here we find the stunning and innovative winery estate of Elephant Hill.
As a producer of premium Hawke's Bay wine, the Elephant Hill vineyard enjoys the spoils of a temperate, dry climate and an extended growing season. Cooled by afternoon sea breezes, the shingle vineyard grows wines that display a wonderful fruit purity and elegance. Every wine crafted by Elephant Hill is made of100% hand-picked fruit from sustainably run vineyards. With stunning views towards the Pacific Ocean and the iconic form of Cape Kidnappers, the winery restaurant is the perfect place to relax and enjoy world class wines and contemporary New Zealand cuisine made with only the freshest seasonal produce.
On the Twilight Odyssey you may enjoy a main course and glass of wine chosen from Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier and Chardonnay which are the hallmarks of dedication to produce classical, aromatic whites. World-class Syrah, Bordeaux-style varieties, Pinot Noir and the much loved Rosé complete the range.
Influenced by contemporary design, the cellar door and sunken lounge is the perfect place to visit, taste wines & share platters at the beginning of the evening too. In any direction the views will inspire and captivate as will the Elephant Hill food and wine experience.
Mission Estate
From the cutting edge contemporary architecture of Craggy Range or Elephant Hill, Odyssey New Zealand then continues the voyage to the opulent setting of the country's oldest and grandest winery the Mission Estate.
Mission Estate is the country's oldest winery and the birthplace of wine in New Zealand. The winery was established in 1851 by pioneering French Missionaries and remains under original ownership to this day. As one of New Zealand's most experienced winemakers, Paul Mooney has been at Mission for over 30 years. Paul's winemaking philosophies are heavily influenced by his mentor; Brother John, who trained in Bordeaux during the 1960's. The winemaking approach at Mission is a blend of old world artistry and new world technology. The focus is always on developing elegant, food friendly wines of superior structure and texture. Nestled in the Taradale Hills, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of Napier city and the coast beyond.
The acclaimed fine dining Mission Restaurant offers intimate indoor or alfresco style dining with exquisite local cuisine. Here you will indulge in some of the region's finest desserts accompanied by one of their many award winning dessert wines. The perfect end to a perfect evening.
Wind down with a coffee and reflect on your journey which has carried you across the region from the depths of the Tuki Tuki Valley to the heights of Te Mata Peak, from the rolling hills of Greenmeadows across the Heretauanga Plains to the Pacific Coast at Te Awanga. A Twilight Odyssey is the perfect way to explore Hawke's Bay while you spoil yourself along the way immersed in the very best food, wine, scenery and architecture. A true taste of the amazing gifts this region has to offer. Twilight really is the most extraordinary time of the day to discover the Terrôir of Hawke's Bay.

I purchased the new Motorola Droid phone the first weekend it came out after 2+ years of desirable smartphone neglect from Verizon. While all the cool kids had their iPhones, all I could do was complain tirelessly about my BlackBerry Pearl, only to purchase and nearly immediately return my BlackBerry Storm POS-brick-that-did-nothing-right-and-was-useless-as-a-phone-or-anything-else-phone. Additionally, the last cool phone Motorola made was the Razor (or is it RAZR?), which was eons ago.
So it was with much skepticism that I picked up the new Motorola Droid Phone. The initial reviews were overwhelmingly positive, but Verizon has had such a solid track record of disappointment I had to experience it to believe it.
And now, I'm a believer. This phone kicks ass!
I've spent the past few days trying to think of bad things to say about this phone, and to be honest it's been a struggle. It works perfectly – no freezing, no bugs, quick response time, etc. Any complaint I could think of was usually just "user error." Like any phone, there is a bit of a learning curve, especially to get used to the rather tiny buttons on the keyboard. I've seen a few reviews wishing that had eliminated the gold arrow pad and just made bigger keys and I probably agree, but that's a rather minor complaint.
Now for the features that really "WOW" me.
– Easy & impressive integration with Facebook and Gmail contacts. Within seconds of getting the phone, I logged in to Gmail and Facebook. It pulled in all of my Gmail contacts, then updated them with their Facebook Profile pictures and most recent Facebook Status. No need to ever sync my phone with my computer, as everything is pretty much already synced across Google.
– Determination on Verizon's (and Motorola and Google's) behalf to make this phone a success. Within less than 2 weeks of launching the phone, they already have a firmware update on the way to address bugs many (including myself) didn't even know existed. Compare that to the Storm which went months without a very desperately needed firmware update…that is commitment.
– Google Maps with Turn by Turn Navigation – I purchase the Car Mount (which didn't come with an included charger as advertised and instead cost an added $30, WTF Verizon?). What's great is I now have a Navigation system that is better than any OEM or Aftermarket In-Car Navigation system because it connects directly to the internet with traffic updates and detours from Google (traffic prediction isn't all that accurate though). Here is my setup:
– Awesome apps – while maybe not as impressive as Apple's App Store, the Android Market has some pretty damn cool offerings. For instance, the Key Ring app which uses your camera like a bar code scanner to capture your Membership Cards for various places like CVS, BevMo, etc., and can then display them for the cashier to scan, so you don't have to carry them anymore (please dont steal my BevMo Rewards number, haha)
Another great app is Pandora – I can connect my phone to my car stereo and have streaming internet radio (something iPhone users probably have trouble with, since their network is so spotty). Also works great for podcasts, especially since this phone comes packed with 16GB of storage space! Check out Google Listen for a good app to find and listen to PodCasts. YouTube is also awesome on this phone…
– The Screen – although the phone is kinda big, its a little larger in size than an iPhone, the screen is extremely high quality and having a big screen like that makes the Google Maps Navigation & YouTube videos all the more useful & enjoyable. I don't think I'd want a smaller phone, as I'd rather have the big screen, and this still fits in my pocket just fine. Below you can see the screen on this phone is almost bigger than the entire size of my Pearl.
– Google Search Bar – this widget on the home screen makes it super easy to search. Anything you want to know, just type it in from the home screen. It also acts as a sort of "desktop" search, because it will search data on the phone like your contacts, files, etc. So if I want to call someone, I can type their name into the Google Search Bar and it will return their contact file – very useful.
I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but at this point, I think you get it. I'd highly recommend you pick one up if you're on the Verizon Network. It's intuitive to use, works great, and is an awesome piece of machinery.
The inevitable question is, would I rather have an iPhone? The answer is nuanced, because I still think the iPhone has better apps and possibly a better user interface, but at the same time I think it would really depend on AT&T coverage in your area. I also think the Android Mobile OS will continue to grow rapidly in market share, as Google is basically giving that to any phone manufacturer (Motorola, HTC, etc) and across multiple networks (T-Mobile, Verizon, etc), whereas the iPhone OS will only be on Apple manufactured phones, and for the next year or so still only on the AT&T network. With the HTC Eris (a cheaper but still very capable Verizon Android Phone), as well as slew of other low cost Android Phones on multiple networks, the number of Android users will grow exponentially – and as it grows, more apps will be developed, which will inevitably close the gap between the iPhone App Store & Android Market. And I don't expect Google to stop innovating and improving the Android OS either, as Google understands the Mobile Web is the future, and the Android System is so tightly integrated with Google Mobile Search that it will provide a huge opportunity in the future.
Finally, I think whether the Droid is an "iPhone Killer" is besides the point – while it may not be "better" than the iPhone, they both have their relative strengths and weaknesses. I think this is the first smartphone where one can say (with a straight face) that this is a serious iPhone contender (even if it's not an outright killer).
Please leave me any questions or comments you may have. And sorry for the pictures, it's really hard to snap a decent photo of an LCD screen…
UPDATE 12-03-09: Thanks to all my new visitors, I appreciate you checking out my blog. Here is a great follow up post by the Silicon Alley Insider today with 10 Things We Love And Hate about the Droid & Eris:

Why This Whiskey Entrepreneur Is Willing to Forgo Easy Cash
Whiskey is hot right now. Really hot. And if you are sitting on a small, but growing, rye whiskey brand, it can be oh-so-tempting to get as much product to market as quickly as possible. After all, booms don't last forever. Whiskey could lose its luster.
But Raj Peter Bhakta, the founder of Shoreham, Vt.-based WhistlePig whiskey, is holding firm to his commitment to quality. And with whiskey, quality takes time. "We take a much more patient approach to putting our product to market. It starts at 10 years old. Now think about that. That's 10 years that we have to wait before putting our product in a bottle," Bhakta told Entrepreneur.com.
While WhistlePig is maintaining its commitment to quality, that's not to say Bhakta hasn't felt the heat of temptation to produce more, lesser quality spirit. He could relatively easily flood the market with a younger, and therefore, less delicious whiskey.
"In this boom, where there has never been this sort of boom in American whiskey in the last 50 years, there is a lot of pressure to launch younger, less expensive products just to meet demand. We are willing to let our competitors take that position while we focus on making sure that the whiskey we put in the bottle is the best," says Bhakta. "There is a huge amount of opportunity cost in that view. The boom could come and go. You never know. You could be sitting on large reserves of old whiskey when people aren't interested in it."
But Bhakta is confident that his dedication to quality will support his brand for the decades and generations to come.

|OKLAHOMA'S eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
U.S. Census Bureau Announces 2010 Census Population Counts -- Apportionment Counts Delivered to President
The U.S. Census Bureau announced today that the 2010 Census showed the resident population of the United States on April 1, 2010, was 308,745,538.
The resident population represented an increase of 9.7 percent over the 2000 U.S. resident population of 281,421,906. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, Acting Commerce Deputy Secretary Rebecca Blank and Census Bureau Director Robert Groves unveiled the official counts at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
"A big thanks to the American public for its overwhelming response to the 2010 Census," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said. "The result was a successful count that came in on time and well under budget, with a final 2010 Census savings of $1.87 billion."
Rebecca Blank, now Acting Deputy Secretary of Commerce who has overseen the 2010 Census as Under Secretary for Economic Affairs, echoed Locke. "The 2010 Census was a massive undertaking, and in reporting these first results, we renew our commitment to our great American democracy peacefully, fairly and openly for the 23rd time in our nation's history."
The U.S. resident population represents the total number of people in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The most populous state was California (37,253,956); the least populous, Wyoming (563,626). The state that gained the most numerically since the 2000 Census was Texas (up 4,293,741 to 25,145,561) and the state that gained the most as a percentage of its 2000 Census count was Nevada (up 35.1% to 2,700,551).
Regionally, the South and the West picked up the bulk of the population increase, 14,318,924 and 8,747,621, respectively. But the Northeast and the Midwest also grew: 1,722,862 and 2,534,225.
Additionally, Puerto Rico's resident population was 3,725,789, a 2.2 percent decrease over the number counted a decade earlier.
Just before today's announcement, Locke delivered the apportionment counts to President Obama, 10 days before the statutory deadline of Dec. 31. The apportionment totals were calculated by a congressionally defined formula, in accordance with Title 2 of the U.S. Code, to divide among the states the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The apportionment population consists of the resident population of the 50 states, plus the overseas military and federal civilian employees and their dependents living with them who could be allocated to a state. Each member of the House represents, on average, about 710,767 people. The populations of the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are excluded from the apportionment population, as they do not have voting seats in Congress.
"The decennial count has been the basis for our representative form of government since 1790," Groves said. "At that time, each member of the House represented about 34,000 residents. Since then, the House has more than quadrupled in size, with each member now representing about 21 times as many constituents."
President Obama will transmit the apportionment counts to the 112th Congress during the first week of its first regular session in January. The reapportioned Congress will be the 113th, which convenes in January 2013.
Beginning in February and wrapping up by March 31, 2011, the Census Bureau will release demographic data to the states on a rolling basis so state governments can start the redistricting process.
Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution calls for a census of the nation's population every 10 years to apportion the House seats among the states. The 2010 Census is the 23rd census in our nation's history.
Updates to System Provides Modern Look and Feel for State Agency Websites
The Internet is an increasingly important communication tool for government providing an effective means for the public and government to exchange information. A consistent and predictable presentation of state government services and content facilitates effective online interaction. OK.gov, Oklahoma's Official website, recently launched a New State Agency Standard Website Template to produce a more cohesive look and navigation style for Oklahoma's state agencies. By using a similar layout and graphics, the end user will always know that they are visiting an Oklahoma government website. The new template style is similar to OK.gov. The navigational link location and layout are essentially the same; however, some graphical elements and colors can be altered to help differentiate websites in order for agencies to achieve their own distinctive look. There are over 40 color scheme options to choose from to achieve their own branding standards. State agencies can now utilize top navigation options, allowing for more organized body content options. The fresh new layout ensures Oklahoma state agency websites have a modern appearance and advanced online presence.
At this time, more than 100 state agencies and 3 local entities utilize OK.gov's Web Management Suite. The system enables account holders to meet Section 508 accessibility standards through easy-to-use tools and create websites without the knowledge of HTML coding.
Invitation to State Agency Accessibility Compliance Representatives to attend the next Information Technology Accessibility Conference, February 3-4, 2011 at Metro Tech in OKC
Oklahoma ABLE Tech, the state's assistive technology program, has been the lead program in bringing IT accessibility classes to Oklahoma. ABLE Tech is a member of the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Advisory Council and partners with the Office of State Finance and the Department of Central Services in providing technical assistance to state agencies.
The Overview session, Feb. 4 at 1:00, is recommended for new Agency Accessibility Compliance Representatives. This course will provide you with an understanding of Oklahoma's electronic and information technology accessibility law relevant to state agencies, post-secondary public institutions, and the CareerTech system. Discussion will include a review of the standards, the Oklahoma Administrative Code that defines agency requirements, the role of the agency Accessibility Compliance Representative, and a review of the required language and forms used in the procurement/development process for electronic and information technology.
Please invite other personnel who have a vested interested in learning more about compliance with Oklahoma's EITA law (i.e. managers, IT program managers, developers, procurement officers, PDF producers, web and marketing staff). Classes include: Web Accessibility and Standards 101, Adobe PDF Accessibility, Adobe InDesign CS5: Creating Accessible PDFs docs; Evaluating Web Content Using Screen Reader Software.
Accessibility Compliance Representatives are a valuable network throughout state government whose contributions are critical to the success of all agencies and our state as we provide services to our citizens.

On Friday 13, the reports about the economic situation in USA were published showing a 0.6% reduction in retail sales, which in turn, moved investors to review their forecast and change it so they could indicate a positive trend for gold.
Monday 16 started relatively calm.Awaiting the Fed meeting,Germany's survey about its economic expectations and data regarding the situation of the eurozone, dollar fell 0.4% bringing about an increase in gold prices which were established above $ 1,150 per ounce.
Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve, saw the expectation of investors and called markets for patience; meanwhile the participants of the market understood that that "call for patience" could actually mean a rise in interest rates by the Central bank, which would put gold in a difficult position.
On Tuesday 17, investors kept their hands still as the Fed meeting about monetary policy was just around the corner. Therefore, during the day, gold price stood still in its minimum for 3 months without variations.
Along the week, regarding the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, in negotiations with Europe it was established a rise in gold price of 0.55% for April, between the narrow range of 1,149 and 1,158 USD per troy ounce. The contract for April was closed settling the gold price in $1,151 USD per ounce troy.
Gold futures were in support level of about $1,146 per ounce troy, and resistance level of nearly $ 1,270 – its maximum since March 10, after the announcement of the labour market recovery.
At this moment, the participants and experts of the global market wait for the announcements of the meeting, which will impact dollar and price of gold in order to make a smart move.
Those who seek to make a smart move and find economic stability in the long term buy gold as this is the most reliable asset of the market. Scepticals point out the current price of gold, but experts always remind their forecast about a high increase of them. The most favorable conditions are given by the Emgoldex online store, which offers high quality investment gold bars besides the opportunity to create a gold business that increases your capital in the long term!

FastCGI applications can be developed using Perl, PHP, C and Java. The following sections briefly describe the procedure to develop the application using some of the popular programming languages.
Stop the Web Server.
Restart the Web Server.
Access the application that has "fcgi" as the application root.
For Example: http://localhost/fcgi/ListDir.php
A typical FastCGI application has the following code structure:
Initialization code Start of response loop body of response loop End of response loop
The initialization code is run only once at the time of the application initialization. Initialization code usually performs time-consuming operations such as opening databases or calculating values for tables or bitmaps. The main task of converting a CGI program into a FastCGI program is to separate the initialization code from the code that needs to run for each request.
The response loop runs continuously, waiting for client requests to arrive. The loop starts with a call to FCGI_Accept, a routine in the FastCGI library. The FCGI_Accept routine blocks program execution until a client requests the FastCGI application. When a client request comes in, FCGI_Accept unblocks, runs one iteration of the response loop body, and then blocks again waiting for another client request. The loop terminates only when a System Administrator or the Web Server kills the FastCGI application.
Download and install the latest FCGI module from CPAN. For ActivePerl, the modules can be downloaded from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Zips.
For more information on writing FastCGI applications using Perl, see http://www.fastcgi.com/#TheDevKit
Beginning with PHP 4.3.0, FastCGI became a supported configuration for the PHP engine. To compile the PHP 4.3.x or greater engine with support for FastCGI, include the configure switch --enable-fastcgi as part of the build process, for example:
./configure <other-options> --enable-fastcgi gmake
After compilation, the php binary will be FastCGI enabled.
When using PHP versions 5.1.2 or earlier (including PHP 4.x) the FastCGI plug-in should be configured with bind-path in host:port format. For example, bind-path = "localhost:3333".
For PHP versions 5.1.3 and later, the bind-path is optional. If specified, it should not be in "host:port" format. It can be a string. For example, bind-path = "myphpbindpath".
FastCGI development kit provides APIs to write FastCGI C/Java applications. You can download the kit from http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-devel-kit.htm.
To build the downloaded FastCGI development kit, perform the following steps:
Unpack the tar file. This action creates a new directory called fcgi-devel-kit
Execute this sequence of commands in the fcgi-devel-kit directory:
For more information on writing FastCGI applications using C, see http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-devel-kit.htm#S3
For more information on writing FastCGI applications using Java, see http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-java.htm

Mussini offers brilliance and purity with the highest lightfastness. Mussini provides an extensive range of transparent and semi-transparent glaze pigments. Schmincke Mussini Oil Colors are available in 1.2 oz (35 ml) tubes.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic, vat dyes
complex, insoluble anthraquinone
Indanthrene Blue is a clear, clean, deep blue organic pigment. It has moderate to high tinting strength and is not as overpowering as Phthalo Blue. Hansa Yellow Deep, Benzimidazolone Orange, and Raw Umber are its best mixing complements.
Indanthrene Blue is permanent with excellent lightfastness in both masstone and tints.
Indanthrene Blue varies in its acute toxicity, though toxicity is generally slight.
Indanthrene Blue is the oldest vat dye, discovered and patented in 1901 by Rene Bohn. It is considered the first anthraquinone vat dye, a group of dyes characterized by excellent lightfastness. The pigment originates from this dye.
nickel azomethine yellow
Nickel Azo Yellow is a transparent, moderately staining yellow pigment with high tinting strength. It is considered a good color match in botanical and landscape painting for natural gamboge (NY24), a historic yellow pigment with fair to poor lightfastness.
Nickel azomethine yellow has excellent lightfastness.
Nickel azo yellow pigment is mildly toxic, and is often labeled as hazardous. Avoid respiratory and skin exposure to pigment dust. It should be disposed of properly with other hazardous wastes, not washed down the sink. However, the contribution of artist pigments to levels of nickel metal complexes in the environment is almost insignificant. Nickel is often present in the environment naturally. Nickel is used heavily in steelmaking, and in many industrial processes and products.
Nickel azomethine yellow has been developed as an artist pigment becasue it is a close match for gamboge, a historic yellow.
Gamboge Hue, New Gamboge.

- Colin Percival: "The FreeBSD Security Team will support FreeBSD 5.x until at least the end
of September 2007."
- Colin Percival: "If I was deploying a new server today, I'd install FreeBSD 5.4. If I were planning on installing a new server next month, I'd install FreeBSD 6.0-BETA-whatever-number-we're-up-to-by-then."
- Scott Long: "There will be a 5.5 release this fall and possibly a 5.6 a few months after that. Per the standard procedure, the security team will support the branch for 2 years after the final release. There will likely be other developers who have an interest in backporting changes to RELENG_5 for some time to come, just as has been done with RELENG_4. So the earliest that RELENG_5 will be de-supported is late 2007."
- Scott Long: "Part of the purpose of moving quickly on to RELENG_6 is so that the migration work for users from 5.x to 6.x is very small. 6.x is really just an evolutionary step from 5.x, not the life-altering revolutionary step that 4.x->5.x was. It should be quite easy to deploy and maintain 5.x and 6.x machines side-by-side and migrate them as the need arises. We don't want people to be stranded on RELENG_5 like they were with RELENG_4. 6.x offers everything of 5.x, but with better performance and (hopefully) better stability. If you're thinking about evaluating 5.x, give 6.0 a try also."
The release schedule shows a 15 August release announcement, but I expect to see 6.0 RELEASE in mid-September. I am sure the FreeBSD release team will want 6.0 to be a solid product, and the todo list still contains multiple important outstanding issues.

The topic of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degredation (REDD) is shaping up to be one of the most prominent features of this climate conference. REDD discussions are not only attracting a lot of attention and interest, they are also progressing rapidly.
After just a few days of initial discussion, Parties are already outlining the main components of a draft decision to be adopted by the Conference. Nevertheless, significant hurdles still stand in the way of a general consensus on REDD.
The debate surrounding which scenario should be used as a reference for measuring and rewarding emission reductions is one of the main unresolved debates. Concerns related to species conservation and local livelihoods are consistently raised by Parties, although it is still difficult to gauge how they will be incorporated into a draft decision text.
"It seems as if the REDD train has reached full speed here in Poznan," says David Huberman, a Programme Associate at IUCN. "It is encouraging to see that the many people on board seem quite optimistic about where the discussions are headed, but there still is a lot of ground to cover – both here in Poznan and beyond."
IUCN hopes to see the roadblocks to a meaningful agreement on fighting climate change cast aside, especially given the recent US election outcome. Climate change is already affecting people and nature. There is an urgent need to reach agreement on an international climate change framework by 2009, in preparation for the end of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol in 2012.
At the last UN summit in Bali, the negotiations reached a deadlock, crystallizing the debate on the issue of equity between developed and developing countries. Success in Poznan is key to reaching the agreement the world needs in Copenhagen next year.
- Protecting forests to combat climate change. Forests can help store carbon and lead to a reduction in greenhouse gases, helping to cool our planet. They are also important for conserving species and providing livelihoods for natural resource dependent local communities.
- Equity between the North and South. Developed countries must recognize the damage they have done to the global environment through greenhouse gas emissions. They must support developing countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
- Nature is our best ally in the face of climate change. Healthy environments provide means for people to make a living , store carbon and other greenhouse gases, and can reduce the impacts of climate change-related natural hazards, such as increased flooding, higher temperatures and rising sea levels.

As part of the agenda, the board held a public hearing on how it would like money in the budget for Fiscal Year 2015 spent in the district.
While some residents complained about poor drainage and combined sewage overflow issues in the community, some board members called for more funding underserved transportation, infrastructure and trash pickup.
Paul Kerzner, president of the Ridgewood Property Owners Association and a member of CB5, told the board the organization is seeking $2.82 million to replace the hundreds of trees lost in Hurricane Sandy.
"It would improve air quality, remove dust particles from our air, reduce the heat island effect and lower our energy bills in the summer," Kerzner said.
The money would cover 2,545 trees, costing roughly $1,100 per tree, according to Kerzner.
Theodore Renz, executive director of The Greater Ridgewood Restoration Corporation, called for the restoration of the basket recollection service by the Sanitation Department.
CB5 Transportation Committee chair John Meier also suggested some of the 2015 capital budget money be allocated to restoring the L subway line at Halsey, Jefferson and the Dekalb stations.
CB5 chair Vincent Arcuri said that while many of the proposals for the current fiscal year have yet to be addressed, he is looking forward to adding the new ones to the list.
"We had some very good requests tonight," Arcuri said following the hearing.
CB5 will vote on the budget for capital expense priorities at its next meeting at Christ the King High School on October 9.

CRUSH IT: This week in social media
A quick digest of the week's social media news with a side of fun? You're welcome. Introducing CRUSH, the weekly web-show that takes the news on the social media newsladder and crushes it down to reveal the gems.
In this weeks' edition, we discuss the coincidence of Google releasing Buzz at about the same time they struck a deal with the NSA to share info. No relationship - just like Glenn Beck getting a show on Fox the day before Obama was inaugurated.
Facebook, meanwhile made changes to its privacy settings allowing users more control of what info is shared. That won't help people who choose to share their info though. With the growth of location sharing, there is a new website that points out a nagging issue with letting people know where you are all the time.
On the political side of thigs, this past week marked the one year anniversary of the signing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Organizing for America released this video to mark the occasion, and the House Committee on Education and Labor realeased a great video as well. This is not the first time the Ed and Labor committee has turned to creative webvideos to spread a message, and we hope it will not be the last.
Sarah Palin was asked what she thought the biggest threat to America is, and when her supporters shouted 'Obama' she felt the need to clarify that they had said it, not she. She didn't correct them though. If Mrs. Palin cared about 'those little facty things' she and her supporters might want to thumb through the Quadrennial Defense Review, which catalougues the various security threats to the nation as determined by, well, the people who spend their careers assessing threats to our nation.
Need a job?
Finally, this is from Ben Whitehair on Facebook, and it is hilarious:
5 steps to an AWESOME day: Step 1: Go to google maps... www.google.com/maps Step 2: Search for 39 Rugdeveien, Bergen, Hordaland, Norge Step 3: Zoom in until you get to street view Step 4: Look to the left of the truck and see two men in scooba gear Step 5: Click to make the truck go down the road and watch the men chase the truck....
