An Ignacio outfitter has been banned from hunting in the United States for five years after poaching deer.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife received various tips for 20 years that Antler Meadows Outfitters owner Robert Peck had been killing mule deer during the winter months, when hunting deer is prohibited.
About three years ago, investigators documented enough tips to open an investigation on Peck, said Cary Carron, Division Wildlife manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Several investigators went undercover and on guided hunts with Peck. Several of the hunters were led into units where the hunters were not licensed, and Peck was seen killing an elk illegally and putting another hunters tag on the animal, Carron said.
Investigators also set up intensive surveillance in 2011, and they were able to substantiate claims that Peck hunted deer during the offseason.
Investigators searched Pecks house in March 2012 and found two mule deer that Carron said investigators knew were killed illegally on tribal land and purchased by Peck. They also found more than 200 sets of mule deer antlers, but there was no documentation to indicate whether they were obtained legally or illegally, Carron said.
Peck, 66, was originally charged with 14 counts in 6th Judicial District Court, including six felonies, but he agreed to a plea deal reducing charges to seven misdemeanors. Peck pleaded guilty to three counts of hunting without a proper and valid license, three counts of illegal possession of wildlife and one count of illegal transfer of a license.
He was sentenced to five years of supervised probation, and is prohibited from hunting anywhere in the United States during that time. Also, he is banned from participating in any hunting-related activities, including guiding hunters, leasing land for hunting, brokering licenses or participating in any commercial hunting activities.
While penalties could have been more severe, the most important aspect of this conviction is that this outfitter will no longer be participating in hunting, outfitting or wildlife-related activities, Stephanie Schuler, a district wildlife officer who also works out of Bayfield, said in a news release.
Pecks probation went into effect Nov. 20 once the hunting season ended.
Authorities delayed the start of the probation period until after the season had ended because clients had already booked and paid for hunting guides through Pecks outfitting business, Carron said.
Pecks wife, Diane, is also facing misdemeanor charges, including illegal transfer of a license, but the charges have yet to be adjudicated.
Investigators believe she was helping her husband in the poaching operation, Carron said.

The prospect of a dry, warm summer has officials doing as much as possible to minimize chances of wildfires.
They remember too well last year when wildfires burned more than 39,000 acres in Southwest Colorado.
The snow is coming off quickly, probably a month ahead of schedule, and things are drying out, Richard Bustamante, fire management officer for the San Juan National Forest, said Wednesday. But were not in fire season yet.
Fire season doesnt come around like Christmas or the Fourth of July, he said. Fire season begins when fires begin, with the core period being late May to mid-July. So far, public lands have seen no wildfires.
By July, the monsoon rains can bring some relief.
Seasonal firefighters are being hired and a midsize helicopter is scheduled to arrive at the aerial tanker base near Durango-La Plata County Airport about the middle of May, Bustamante said.
Ranger districts will have their usual level of staffing, which include hand crews and engine crews, he said. A hot-shot crew will be available as of April 20.
If push comes to shove, fire officials can impose Stage 1 or Stage 2 limitations such as they did last year on outdoor burning, campfires, smoking, welding and chain saws.
The weather outlook in Southwest Colorado is not encouraging, but not dire.
The National Integrated Drought Information System expects drought to persist or intensify in much of the West and Midwest. But it lists Southwest Colorado in moderate straits. Severe, extreme and exceptional drought categories are more onerous.
Southwest Colorado also is expected to see below-normal precipitation and warmer-than-normal temperatures for the next three months.
In its March 19 drought report, the NIDIS said moderate to exceptional drought covers 52 percent of the contiguous United States, up from 51 percent the week before.
Fire-protection districts are taking no chances.
Seasonal firefighters employed through Upper Pine Fire Protection District were at Deer Valley Estates east of Bayfield again this week to cut trees and brush that could fuel a wildfire.
Chris Reynolds, a lead crewman, said the branches would be chipped and hauled away. Trunks would be sectioned and stacked as firewood for the homeowners, John and Tracey Van Schaik.
I appreciate what these guys are doing, said John Van Schaik, who retired after 33 years as a fireman in Chicago. Fire is our common enemy, so theyre part of the team.
Deer Valley Estates earned recognition from FireWise of Southwest Colorado in 2009 for its Community Wildfire Protection Plan, the result of fire-proofing the subdivision. Today, there are 14 subdivisions in the region with community-devised fire-prevention plans, said director Pam Wilson of FireWise, which marks its 10th anniversary this year.
U.S. Forest Service fire managers plan to burn forest ground fuel this spring. Near Chimney Rock, 17 miles southwest of Pagosa Springs, up to 342 acres could be treated with what is known as a prescribed burn. Ten miles northwest of Pagosa Springs, between Turkey Springs Road and Newt-Jack Road, up to 500 acres are ready to burn.
Prescribed burns are deliberate actions carried out under specific conditions, including temperature, humidity and wind.
Wilson is organizing at least two efforts to show homeowners how small actions can forestall a disaster. She is looking for volunteers to dispose of a heap of trash at Annies Orphans, a no-kill pet shelter, along La Posta Road.
She also is organizing Home Ignition Zone workshops in La Plata and Montezuma counties. Participants will spend 12 hours over two days learning tricks beyond creating 30 feet of clear space around a house.
The flaming front of a wildfire many times doesnt destroy a house, Wilson said. Its often a spark that gets in an attic vent or under a soffit.
Installing a protective screen is a simple way to avoid a lot of grief later, Wilson said.
As a final exercise, workshop participants will visit a house or two to critique wildfire safety measures.
FireWise relies on ambassadors to organize their neighbors to down overgrown trees and brush, widen subdivision roads and create turnaround space for fire vehicles.
We try to get people thinking, Wilson said. There are little things they can do that pay big dividends.
FireWise is an independent organization that shares the name with a national organization with the same goals.
Public lands fire managers have been meeting with fire-protection districts, sheriffs offices and their emergency agencies for annual operations planning, said Chris Barth, spokesman at the Interagency Fire Management Unit in Montrose.
Weve been discussing mutual-aid plans, how were going to respond if a fire covers more than one jurisdiction and how well handle the command from the time we get the call until we go home safely, Barth said.
Were hiring seasonal firefighters, starting refresher courses and getting in physical condition, Barth said. In the work-capacity test, firefighters have to carry a 45-pound pack three miles in an hour on a trail or a track.

Instead of focusing on the things that will only matter for few days this holiday season, why not focus on celebrating your family?
During the holiday season it can be all too easy to lose yourself and get caught up in the wrong things.
Often, there is more attention paid to the price of the gifts, the elaborateness of decorations or the decadence of the food. But the holiday season is the perfect time to focus on family.
Here's a charge: Instead of focusing on the things that will only matter for a day or two, focus on building better relationships with family or celebrating the family's history.
Trust us, those gifts will still be there under the tree when you're done.
In that spirit, we've collected five things that you can do to celebrate family during the holiday season. First on the list is to do something special with a kid or a few kids in your family …
Day with youth of family
If you insist on gift-giving during the holidays, give the gift of your time. Tell a family member who has younger children that you are going to relieve him or her for the afternoon, although all day would likely be better.
This will give that family member some adult time to relax and rejuvenate for the little one's return. If the child is younger, consider an age-appropriate outing such as Disney on Ice or a kid's movie. Some type of athletic event will make any youth excited, too. Consider even playing a few video games together.
Baking cookies or a cake could be a blast. Arts and crafts, too.
For children who are preteen or teen, a meal at their favorite restaurant will also offer an opportunity to eat and have good conversation.
But while there is a need to focus on the younger ones in the family, there is a definite need to focus on the older family members …
Wisdom found in matriarch, patriarch
A lot of times, families forget about the fountain of wisdom and knowledge that older relatives have.
The holiday season offers a perfect opportunity to show love and respect to one of the elders in the family and to also gather important family stories.
While many things in life remain the same, there are many things that change. Elders can provide a firsthand account of how things used to be. They also contain information that, if they should die without telling, will be forever lost.
According to Kimberly Powell, a professional genealogist, a few questions that will provide invaluable information are: What was your house like? How were holidays celebrated in your family? How is the world different today than it was when you were a youth?
All of this information should be recorded or written down.
Once gathered, it's important to keep it and pass it to a person of the next generation who is responsible enough to keep the family history …
Family history in a box
Once important family history and facts have been gathered, there are a few other things that should be collected during the holidays.
The elder should be asked to produce any old photos of even older family members, if possible. While a current video can definitely be shot, ask the relative if there is any historic footage of the family or family events. This will make great conversation.
If there are any letters, newspaper articles or other documentation about the family, include it.
Put everything together in a box.
One or two people should be appointed to maintain the family records. It's always better to have two copies of everything just in case.
Don't let this discussion cause any dissension in the family, however. But if there are any estranged or quarreling family members, the holiday season is also a time to put it to an end…
Stop fighting family members
There are sparks, arguments and sometimes even fistfights in families, but the holiday season is a perfect opportunity to make things right.
A "gnawing feeling" indicates that the matter should be handled so that it doesn't continue throughout the holiday season, according to Mark Gorkin, the Stress Doc and author of "Practice Safe Stress and The Four Faces of Anger."
"How strong is your reaction to that person?" he said. "If it's strong enough, you want to deal with it."
Gorkin added that sometimes it may be a pattern of small things that are said and done that may make a family member uncomfortable.
However, the key to resolving family disputes is to use good communication skills by telling the family member how something makes you feel and asking that he or she stop.
And after quarreling family members are back to being lovey dovey again, it's time to start a tradition that can be carried out each year …
Start new family tradition
Every family should have something unique to its celebration during the holidays. And if you do not have one, now is the time to start one.
The tradition should fit the family, of course. For some families, a toast can work as a tradition. For other families, a prayer may be better.
Because families have gatherings during the holidays, it may be a good idea to get a professional photographer to take photos or a video.
In families where names are drawn to buy gifts, notes should be written to other family members. After all, it's the thought that counts.
Not all families are affectionate. To show love more, family members can begin a tradition of hugging or kissing every family member at the celebration.
But no matter how you and your family choose to celebrate the holidays, don't get caught up with things that are fleeting. Focus on family.

The Margravial Opera House is regarded as a triumph of 18th century baroque theatre design. Visitors find the splendour of its interior simply awe-inspiring. The most beautiful baroque theatre remaining in Europe, it was built by Giuseppe Galli-Bibiena and his son Carlo, the most famous theatre architects of their day.
Unsurpassed in its perfection, the opera house in Bayreuth is a perfect example of 18th century courtly architecture and is considered one of the most important architectural monuments to the absolutist society. It was built between 1746 and 1750 for Margrave Friedrich von Brandenburg-Kulmbach and his wife Wilhelmine. In terms of its scale and splendour, it was comparable only with the opera houses in Vienna, Dresden, Paris and Venice. Still used for performances today, the opera house is a box theatre made completely of wood whose lavish, carved and painted decoration is like no other in the world. The Margravial Opera House was also one of the reasons for the composer Richard Wagner choosing Bayreuth as a venue for his theatre festivals. Despite being attracted by the unusually large stage for the time, he found that the size and shape of the auditorium made it unfit for his purposes. Nevertheless, he still preferred Bayreuth as a festival venue and decided to build his own festival hall there.
Due to extensive renovation work, which is expected to last until 2018, the auditorium, stage and boxes at the Margravial Opera House are closed to visitors. However, in order to give you a vivid impression of this fantastic theatre while construction work is being carried out, the 'Margravial Opera House information centre' has been set up. The exhibition, which uses state-of-the-art 3D technology, provides a comprehensive insight into the architectural monument and its restoration.

Behind the ridge are four different crags: the Lower Silvermine Crag has easy routes and is perfect for beginners, Blaze of Glory is a little harder, Silvermine Main Crag is a good all round crag and Fawltey Towers for some harder stuff.
- ±80 single pitch sport routes
- Grades 4 to 7b+
- 10 to 25 minute walk-in
These are some of the best crags in South Africa with short walk-ins, superb rock quality and brilliant routes.
All year round. Sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon
Sport rack, 50m or 60m rope. Be sure to tie a knot in the end of your rope as some of the routes are higher than 25m.
The climbing
Mostly vertical to slightly overhanging with a good 'get your leg up overhang' on a couple of the routes at Silvermine Main Crag and Blaze of Glory. There are many less overhanging/easier climbs at the two Lower Crags.
Getting There
From Cape Town, take Ou Kaapse Weg towards Noordhoek. Once on top of the mountain turn right into the Silvermine Reserve. There is an entrance fee of R15 to get into the reserve (January 2009). A Wild card also gets you in. Visitors to South Africa can also take advantage of the Wild cards.[1]
Lower Silvermine Crag
Routes from L to R Park at the first parking lot. Walk straight up the hill to the ridge and then take a path to the left and follow the cairns to the abseil point. The are abseil anchors which you can use to safely get you to the base of the crag. NB: You have to abseil to get to this crag.

Dutch Sat-Nav specialist TomTom has launched its new Location Based Services (LBS) platform and developer portal. TomTom LBS provides developers with the content and tools to create location-enabled applications for a variety of commercial and consumer markets.
NOTE: Example applications that can be created here include fleet management, route planning, traffic management, and geospatial analysis.
The cloud-based LBS Platform enables businesses to access TomTom's location and navigation services including map display, routing, traffic, and geocoding. In addition, the TomTom Developer Portal gives developers tools to build web and mobile apps using APIs and SDKs with supporting documentation.
"In response to the increasing demand for top quality data and services, TomTom is offering a comprehensive, easy to use solution for adding location intelligence to applications," said Dan Adams, vice president of Location and Live Services at TomTom. "The launch of the TomTom LBS Platform is an important evolution. Now we can provide application developers with web-based access to high-quality location content worldwide."
The TomTom LBS Platform and Developer Portal currently includes a geocoding web service, enabling both free text forward geocoding (find a location by entering an unstructured address, place, or POI) and reverse geocoding (identify a location from a pair of latitude and longitude coordinates).
There is also a routing web service, which provides accurate point to point routing and route recalculation using TomTom's own algorithms. Features here also are downloadable for iOS, Android, and JavaScript software development kits (SDKs) to develop location-based applications using TomTom APIs.

It's been a few days since the results of council, Holyrood, Cardiff and Stormont elections, along with the all-important AV referendum, were revealed. The dust is settling, and it's time to offer my take on the results.
The recent elections, despite appearances, were good for the progressive Left-wing parties in Britain. The Liberal Democrats suffered badly, and the people rejected AV, but the future may still be bright for us Spineless Liberals.

Periodic Thread Processing in Java
In an earlier blog where I discussed how to handle uncaught Java exceptions in other threads, I had a minor bug in my example code. Although it wasn't the point of the example, the code had intended to perform some processing once per second. In reality, the code I wrote performed its processing, then waited one second to begin it again. Technically this wasn't once per second since it didn't take into account the time spent doing the actual processing.

- The AI and Human Element Security Sentiment Study
- State of Endpoint Security: How Enterprises Are Managing Endpoint Security Threats
- How Cyber Attackers Will Use & Abuse AI, ML Against the Enterprise
- Enabling a Smooth DX Transformation in the Post-Pandemic New Tomorrow
To be more exact, the code should instead sleep for a total of 1000 milliseconds minus the number of milliseconds the processing takes. This assumes, of course, that the processing lasts less than 1000 milliseconds, but let's assume that's always the case for the time being. However, to be as precise as possible, you really need to turn to alternatives such as real-time Java, and specifically, a JVM that implements the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ).
Quick, What Is Real-Time?
The Real-Time Specification for Java defines how Java should behave in a real-time computing context. However, what does real-time really mean? There are many misunderstandings about what real-time is, even amongst seasoned enterprise Java developers. Some confuse it with high performance, or fast, computing. Others use it to describe dynamic applications such as instant messaging or data-feed processing. Neither one is necessarily an example of a real-time system.
Therefore, real-time does not always equal real fast, although good performance is often desirable and achievable. As for a quick definition, the goal of a real-time system is to respond to real-world events predictably, before a measurable deadline, or within a bounded time frame. Of course, it gets a little more complicated in terms of the details, but that's the basic foundation. For an in-depth understanding of real-time systems and the RTSJ, check out my book, Real-Time Java Programming.
Periodic Real-Time Threads
Let's skip ahead to a better solution to the "perform some processing every
n milliseconds (or some other timeframe)" problem, and see how real-time Java can help. The RTSJ defines the
javax.realtime.RealtimeThread class, which extends the base Java
Thread class, but adheres to strict real-time scheduling. With it, you define a priority — within the real-time class of priorities — and optionally a release schedule. This schedule dictates when, precisely, the RTT will be released, or stated simply, scheduled to begin or resume execution. A periodic real-time
Thread is one that uses the
javax.realtime.PeriodicParameters class to define its release schedule. The code below illustrates this, using the RTSJ:
import javax.realtime.*; public class ReactorCore { // Embedded temperature gauge class class TempGauge extends RealtimeThread { public TempGauge(SchedulingParameters sched, ReleaseParameters rel) { super(sched, rel); // call RealtimeThread constructor } public void run() { while ( true ) { // Check reactor temp here... ... boolean ok = waitForNextPeriod(); if ( ! ok ) { // Handle deadline miss here... } } } } private TempGauge temp = null; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// public ReactorCore() { // Run at highest priority PriorityParameters sched = new PriorityParameters( PriorityScheduler.instance().getMaxPriority()); // 1 millisecond periodic release ReleaseParameters rel = new PeriodicParameters( new RelativeTime(1,0) ); temp = new TempGauge(sched, rel); temp.start(); // ... } public static void main(String[] args) { ReactorCore core = new ReactorCore(); } }
In this example, we define RTT
TempGauge to periodically check the temperature of a reactor core once per millisecond. First, as defined by the
PriorityParameters in the
ReactorCore class constructor, the RTT is set to run at the highest priority. Second, as defined by the
ReleaseParameters, our RTT will be released to execute exactly once per millisecond. Thanks to the RTSJ, the compliant JVM we're to use here will employ high-resolution timers to guarantee that this thread will be released precisely once per millisecond; no more, no less. To ensure this, the RTT must perform its processing and then finish with a call to
waitForNextPeriod, which will wait for whatever time is remaining before the next release period. This calculation is handled for you by the real-time JVM — no need to do this yourself. This means that regardless of processing time — so long as it's less than one millisecond —
TempGauge RTT will be released and begin processing at one-millisecond boundaries precisely. This is illustrated in the figure below.
As with our code above, thread
T1 in this figure has a one-millisecond period, and is released on each one-millisecond time boundary regardless of its processing time per release. The call to
waitForNextPeriod ensures this by working with the priority scheduler within the RTSJ-compliant Java VM.
Other RTSJ Facilities
The RTSJ defines other real-time behavior, such as:
- Aperiodic
RealtimeThreads: RTTs that don't have minimum or maximum wait times between releases, useful for waiting on resources, for example
NoHeapRealtimeThread: RTTs that never access the heap, and hence are never subject to garbage collection delays, interruptions, or released latencies
- Real-time memory management: real-time behavior through the use of non-heap memory regions such as
- Asynchronous event handling: the ability to schedule processing to occur when some outside event occurs
- Asynchronous transfer of control or thread termination: safe shift of execution from one RTT to another, or safe RTT termination, based on an event or
- Physical Memory Access: byte-level access to physical memory regions to allow direct communication with hardware devices, where supported.

Happy coding!

I am a sucker for Posto. Even as a kid, I loved Posto more than anyone at home.
Posto or the tiny beige seeds of Indian Poppy(Khus Khus), ground and seasoned with mustard oil, green chili and little coarse salt, the Kancha Posto bata was a favorite. The fresh smell of the wet ground posto, ground with little water on the shil-nora the black pock marked stone, was like the smell of the wet earth after the first rain. When this ground paste was mixed with a liberal sprinkle of golden yellow pungent mustard oil and slit fiery green chilis the simple paste became filled with a sharp new taste. With white rice it was heaven.
The bare wet ground posto formed the base of several other dishes in Posto loving Bengal. The mornings my Ma doled out those fine beige poppy seeds to be soaked in water and later to be made into a paste by the daily house help, I would be ecstatic. I knew there would be alu posto, posto'r bara(poppy seed paste mixed with rice flour etc. and made into fritters) and always a little posto bata waiting for me at dinner.
My Probashi and Ghoti family teased me for my love of Posto. They said, that I should be married off to a Bangal and then I could have as much Posto as I liked.Being away from Bengal for long, they didn't know that Posto or Poppy seeds was not a staple for the Bangal, in fact for people from East Bengal(now Bangladesh) Posto is not even deemed as important as it is to People from West Bengal.
Posto was actually the food of the people of Rarh, the "land of red soil" on the westernmost corner of West Bengal. More so for the people of Bankura and Birbhum district in this area. This region has a very dry and hot climate and they believe posto has the effect of a coolant and protects them against the heat. In the days when there was no restriction in cultivating Indian poppy and farmers in this area grew poppy in abundance, the posto seeds became an integral part of their diet. A mid morning meal of posto and bhaat protected the farmers from the searing, dry heat as they worked in the open fields.
As the price of the posto or Indian Poppy seeds has been rising, the poor in Bengal can hardly afford an ingredient which once formed a key part of their meal.
Now to the Kundru Posto or Tindora in Poppy Seeds Paste. Kundru or Tindora was not vegetable common in Bengal. I can barely recall any Kundru-is dish from my childhood. In fact Tindora is or was as far removed from the Bengali Food Culture as is Posto Bata from the Punjabis. I started cooking Tindora or Kundru only after coming to the US, sometimes you need to travel miles to recognize something that was once close to you.But even then I made it not too often.
When I saw Sharmila's Kundru Sabzi, I loved the idea of tossing the vegetable with so many spices and then cooking it. And then I also loved how a friend made fried Tindora with some whole poppy seeds sprinkled on top. So why not make a Kundru Posto I thought and as a fusion why not toss the Kundru with some spices before cooking ? And that is how we made Kundru Posto or Tindora in Poppy seeds paste, an inter-region marriage of a vegetable and a condiment from two different regions of India.
A bowlful of this vegetable followed with a bowl of dal is a satisfying meal by itself. But to get the full flavor and taste you need to eat it with white rice

Kundru Posto
Sadly I have no measurements and will update this recipe when I remember to take measures next time
Chop Kundru or Tindora vertically in 4 longitudinal slices.
In a bowl toss the chopped kundru/tindora with little oil, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder , dry mango powder(aam choor), little turmeric and salt.
Heat White Oil in a Kadhai. Temper the oil with Nigella Seeds/Kalonji and Dry Red Chili
When the spices pop, add the kundru/tindora now coated with all the spices. Saute for a couple of minutes and then cover with a lid.Cover and saute intermittently till kundru softens.
Add dry ground poppy seed powder or a wet paste of poppy seeds, and mix well. Add a little water and cook till the tindora is cooked and the water has dried up. Adjust for salt and seasonings

Trivia:In 1757 the last nawab of Bengal was dethroned by the British East India Company, who concentrated on maximizing the cultivation of opium in Bengal. The drug promised to generate huge profits, not only in the local market, but also in a far bigger one—China. The company's greed was so great that at one point they forced farmers in much of Bengal to devote all their arable land to its cultivation. So it's not surprising that the posto seeds produced in this enormous poppy-growing zone became such an important element in the local diet. (From this lovely article by Chitrita Banerjee)
