Revision as of 00:04, 20 January 2013
Bristol [101] is the unofficial capital of the West Country of England. Famous for its maritime history it also offers a great and diverse range of attractions, hotels, bars and events. Bristol ranks fourth in England's top visitor destinations. The best time to visit is in the summer when major festivals are held in the city.
Although cursed by horrible post war buildings and disfigured by a choatic road system, Bristol is nevertheless an amiable, grooved, laid back city whose mellow vibe is reflected in the superb music of Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky, particularly the Massive Attack track "Lately" (from their brilliant debut album "Blue Lines") that perfectly captures the sultry, lean burn atmosphere of a warm summers evening of this historic and cultured city.
Bristol is the United Kingdom's eighth most populous city (approximately 421,000) and the most populated city in South West England, making it a core city in England. It received a Royal Charter in 1155 and was granted county status in 1373. From the 13th century, for half a millennium, it ranked amongst the top three English cities after London, alongside York and Norwich, until the rapid rise of Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester during the Industrial Revolution in the latter part of the 18th century. Bristol borders the counties of Somerset and Gloucestershire and is also located near the historic cities of Bath to the southeast, Gloucester to the north and Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, to the northwest. The city is built around the River Avon, and has a short coastline on the estuary of the River Severn where it flows into the Bristol Channel.
Although often overlooked as a tourist destination, Bristol has a lot to offer of its own and is an excellent base for exploring the West Country, with relatively inexpensive accommodation compared to some of the main 'tourist traps' (such as nearby Bath) and a huge choice of bars, restaurants and shops. It is one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the South of England, hosting a wide variety of visual arts, theatre, speciality shopping and live music.
In recent years, young people have flocked to Bristol thanks to the city's stunning and brilliant music scene - the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and Roni Size have contributed some of the most outstanding back catalogue of albums in the hisotry of British music - not bad for a city which even in the early 80s was considered a backwater of the British music scene. Indeed, in 2010 Bristol was voted Britain's most musical city. The success of the Bristol music scene goes back to 1991 when Massive Attack released their magnficent opus "Blue Lines" which included the soaring "Unfinished Sympathy" and social critques such as "Safe From Harm" and "Daydreaming". "Blue Lines" was partly recorded in Bristol, at the Coach House studios in Clifton (now sadly defunct). Never has any album in British music captured the atmosphere and vibe of a specific city such as "Blue Lines" - particularly the track "Lately". This track, with vocals by Shara Nelson and a bass groove sample from "Mellow mellow right on" by Lowrell so perfectly captures the atmosphere of a summer's evening in Bristol - particularly on the Clifton Downs - that with its warm, laid back vibe i is pratically a signature song for the whole city.
Get in
By plane
Bristol Airport [102] is situated 8 miles south-west of Bristol city centre and offers scheduled flights from major European cities. It is a major base for both budget airlines Easyjet and Ryanair with nearly 80 destinations including: Amsterdam also with KLM, Paris also with Air France, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Rome, Prague, Krakow, Bratislava, Kaunas and Riga (but not London).
There is no train link between Bristol's airport and the city, but there is a 'Flyer' bus service (buses A1 and A2) that takes 30-45 min and has a frequency of up to every 10 min. It costs are £11 for a return ticket (the second part of which can be used up to a month after the first), £7 for a one-way to the city. There are student discounts on this service if you are a member of one of the local universities.[103]
There is also the cheaper bus 121 that takes 90 min and is every 120 min. [104]
The alternative is to use one of the London airports or Birmingham airport and travel on to Bristol by train, car or bus. The most convenient are the following:
When coming from London, the cheapest way is generally by coach or rail.
By train
Wikitravel has a guide to Rail travel in the United Kingdom.
Bristol Temple Meads station is located approximately 15 minutes walk from the city centre and has regular inter-city and regional train services from Bath, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, London, Plymouth, Southampton, Swansea and York. It is the oldest, continuously and still operating train station in the world. Today, it is run by the train operating company First Great Western, who provide the majority of services.
Bristol has a second main railway station in Bristol Parkway, which is located several miles north of the city centre. Although this station also has frequent services to many of the same locations as Temple Meads, it is principally aimed at suburban residents and is unlikely to be useful to visitors.
From London, you can travel from London Paddington station. There are several through trains an hour, the fastest of which takes one hour and ten minutes. Train times (from any location) can be found on the National Rail Planner [110] or by calling 0845 748 4950 from anywhere in the UK. Alternatively, there is Megatrain [111], a budget train service running out of London Waterloo to Bristol Temple Meads, with one or two trains a day taking just over two and a half hours.
By bus
National Express [112] operate services to Marlborough St Coach station, located in the city centre, from cities throughout the UK including London. The journey from London to Bristol takes about 2h30min. Tickets are much cheaper if booked in advance online.
Megabus [113] also operate budget coach services from London Victoria coach station to a stop outside the Colston Hall in Colston Street (Behind Flavourz restuartant formerly Yates Winelodge City Centre) or UWE. Tickets must be booked online and fares are demand responsive but can be very cheap (£1.50 if you book far enough in advance). The journey to London takes about 30 min longer than by National Express.
By car
The M5 and M4 motorways intersect near Bristol and the M32, a motorway 'spur', brings traffic directly into the city centre. The M4 links London with Bristol with a driving time of less than two hours.
The city also has 3 Park and Ride facilities, A4 Portway, Long Ashton and A4 Bath Road sites, for more information see The Bristol City Council website [114]
Get around
Visit Bristol, the official tourism website for Bristol has free maps of the city [115] for visitors. Distinctive blue A3 tourist maps which cover the city centre, the Harbourside and Clifton, are available for free from the Tourist Information Centre on the harbourside and also from locations such as libraries, shops, Temple Meads railway station, hotels and the YHA hostel.
Detailed maps for districts within the city (such as Fishponds and Lockleaze), cycle, bus and a very detailed harbourside map are available from the City Council [116].
Bristol is also home to a branch of Stanfords, a very large supplier of maps and tour guides. Maps of Bristol with all the city centre street names and destinations marked sell from £1.50. Stanfords can be found at 29 Corn Street, and the staff double as local travel experts.[117]
On foot
Most locations in central Bristol (the Harbourside and Old City areas) are reasonable easily walkable, and there are plenty of attractive walking routes along the quaysides and in the pedestrianised central streets. The main rail station (Bristol Temple Meads) is a little further (about 15 mins walk) but still accessible by harbourside walkways or by bus. Bristol walking directions can be planned online with the walkit.com [118] walking route planner.
Bristol has plenty of bike paths and routes and is at the centre of the National Cycle Network.[119] Sustrans, which manages the network, is based in the city, and has a shop and information centre on College Green, next to the Marriott Hotel. The staff can provide information on cycle routes throughout the UK. Free cycling maps for the Avon Cycleway, Bristol and surrounding council regions (South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Bath and North-East Somerset) can be obtained by emailing, telephoning or writing to Bristol City Council's Transport Planning Team [120].
By train
Bristol Temple Meads offers direct trains to many UK cities including London (Paddington). Local train services include the Severn Beach Line, and stopping services which serve Bedminster, Parson Street and Filton Abbey Wood.
The Severn Beach Line passes through Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road in the East of the inner city, and then, Montpelier, Redland and Clifton Down in the north before heading north-west to Avonmouth and Severn Beach. The line has been voted one of the most scenic in the world by Thomas Cook, and fares are reasonable.[[121]
The Severn Beach train usually runs approximately hourly from 0600 to 2200hrs, Monday to Saturday, with a reduced Sunday service.[122]
By bus
CitySightseeing offer open top bus tours with commentary during the summer months. One- and three-day passes are available. The circular route takes in most of the major visitor destinations including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol Zoo, City Docks, Temple Meads, old city and city centre.[123]
Most bus services in Bristol are operated by First Bristol [124]. Visitors should be warned that by and large the buses are unreliable, so if possible check the bus times on the First website as the times on Bus Stops may be dated and incorrect. As most of Bristol's hotels and places to visit are located near the city centre or are in the upmarket suburb of Clifton, First Bristol's number 8 and 9 buses are probably the most useful for visitors. They follow a route from Temple Meads station to Clifton, passing through the main shopping area (Broadmead), the city centre (also handy for the harbourside) and the West End on the way. Single-trip tickets are a flat rate of £1.55. Not widely advertised is the fact that on the 8 and the 9 you can get a return within the same fare zone for the same £1.70. The zones can be confusing; ask the driver.
Visitors planning on using the bus service for anything more than one short return journey may wish to purchase a FirstDay [125] ticket. This will allow unlimited travel within zones 1 and 2 on most bus services for a one-off fixed fee. Currently, a FirstDay ticket will cost between £4.00 (before 9 a.m. Monday to Friday (except holidays)) and £4.30 (any other time).
Other operators include Wessex Connect [126], Buglers [127] and Abus [128].
By boat
Because of the way the city centre is intimately interwoven with the old 'floating harbour', a boat is a good way of getting around as well as seeing a lot of interesting sights. Bristol Ferry Boat [129] runs several ferry services around the harbour, stopping at various quays on route, and even providing a commuter service between the city centre and the main rail station.
The Bristol Packet [130] offer city docks tours with commentaries daily during school holidays and at weekends throughout the year. They also run regular excursions to riverside tea gardens on the Avon towards Bath and Avon Gorge cruises under the Clifton Suspension Bridge to Avonmouth and back.
Number Seven Boat Trips [131] also offer a ferry service during the summer months.
Bristol City Council offers a useful walking and public transport journey planner at [132]. Bristol is quite a hilly city, but if you don't mind walking up hills the walk can be pleasant on a fine day.
By car
Driving is probably the best way of seeing the surrounding region. A couple of the routes into Bristol during peak hours operate a car pool lane for cars with more than one occupant.
The centre of Bristol follows a one way city system, which can be frustrating and confusing for those not used to it. However with patience and practice and a lot of circling around the same areas numerous times, it does become easier.
There are plenty of NCP car parks, and street parking. The cheaper street parking is in short supply in the centre, however Queen Square can usually be counted on to have a few spaces at off-peak times.
Park and /Eide
There are three Park and Ride schemes operating in Bristol, with an additional Park and Ride for the busy Christmas period based at the University of the West of England (UWE) in Frenchay. The main park and rides are at Brislington, on the A4 opposite St Brendan's school. Another is in Shirehampton and a third is at the end of the A370 Long Ashton Bypass. These are recommended due to their cheaper fares and ease of access to the busy city centre.[133]
By taxi
Due to the heavy traffic, taxis in Bristol can be quite expensive and very slow. There are about 700 licensed taxis (Hackney Carriages) and these can be distinguished as they are all painted a distinctive blue. Meters charged at a rate set by the council. There are a similar number of private hire vehicles (without roof signs) that need to be pre-booked.
All legitimate taxis and private hire vehicles should have a predominantly yellow council-issued plate at the front and back of the vehicle.[134].
Bristol has many attractions you'll not want to miss. So much in fact, it is sometimes difficult to find out what you definitely shouldn't miss. Therefore the following list provides ten things you really don't want to miss.
Bristol's neighbourhoods
Bristol is a very diverse city. From the historic Old City and Harbourside to Georgian Clifton, there is something to be found for everyone. Every neighbourhood has its own attractions and sights. Thus, including sights from the list above, below the sights of the city are listed by where you can find them.
The floating harbour is the jewel in Bristol's crown, and many of its attractions are on or close to the harbour:
Old City
Within walking distance from the bustling shopping district of Broadmead, is old town Bristol where the town originated from. You'll discover old buildings and hidden alleys whilst walking along cobbled streets. Highlights include:
West End
The old and up-market suburb of Clifton contains several more places of interest, as well as much of the city's student population:
Bristol's Eastside is the multicultural centre of Bristol and offers visitors a refreshing alternative side of the city, made up of a colourful collection of neighbourhoods that boast independent retailers from all around the globe. The wonderful thing about this side of town is simply walking around it - and most of the good things to do and see are free!
Bristol has many open spaces reasonably accessible from the city centre. The more notable include:
Details of other city parks can be found on the city council website.[135]
Special Events
Bristol has a widespread range of festivals throughout the year. The most significant include:
There are various websites publicising these events, but probably the best thing is to pick up a copy of Venue Magazine [136] (analogous to London's 'Time Out') from a stockist [137]. Venue is no longer weekly and paid, but has been merged with the 'Folio' free monthly lifestyle magazine, and new editions are usually available on the last Friday of the month. Saturday's edition of the Bristol Evening Post has a free pull-out supplement called Seven that lists much of what is on offer in the city during the following seven days. Alternatively you can check out Bristol Music & Theatre listings online on Bristol Music [138] which also house's contact details for all local venues and music contacts and reviews.
Headfirst [139] is a local website and mobile app that offers detailed listings of what's going on in many of the bars and late night venues around the city, with an emphasis on live music.
Pubs offering live music of some sort are extremely numerous in most areas of the city.
The Bristol to Bath Railway cycle path
This showcase cycle path runs on a disused railway line from central Bristol to Bath. With its traffic free tarmac, gentle gradients, and only two minor road crossings on its 22km stretch, it is ideal for cycling. At a leisurely pace the journey to Bath takes a good 2h through green suburbs and some attractive countryside. If you are too tired to cycle back, you can take your bicycle free of charge on one of the frequent trains from Bath Spa to Bristol temple meads station. The journey takes 10-15 min.
From Bath, you can continue cycling along the towpath of the Kennet and Avon Canal all the way to Bradford on Avon, taking another hour or so. Though not paved and somewhat narrower than the Bristol to Bath cycle path, the towpath is still traffic free and the scenery even more beautiful. There are two or three places to stop and eat or drink on the way. The aqueduct at Avoncliff is worth seeing. From Bradford too there are direct trains back to Bristol that carry bicycles. You can view a PDF map at Bristol and Bath Railway Path [140].
Higher education
Bristol is home to two universities: University of Bristol [141] and University of the West of England [142]. There is also a music college on King Square, the Bristol Institute of Modern Music [143], which from September 2009 will offer a BA (Hons) course in Professional Musicianship.
The largest independent employers in Bristol are the two Universities, the Orange telco, Airbus, Rolls Royce, Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, AXA and various media companies including BBC Bristol (famed for its natural history department), ITV West Country and Endemol. The Ministry of Defence has a large site employing around 5000 people in Filton towards the north of the city.
Casual work, usually supermarket, call centre, bar and restaurant work is fairly easily available in Bristol. Many employment agencies are located in the city centre. Bristol has the second highest job ratio of the eight English core cities (after Manchester) making it very good for employment opportunities.
Malls & Shopping Centres
Broadmead remains a pretty dire indictment of post war planning and architecture; it contains the Mall Galleries, Bristol's city centre mall. It is large and has a good range of shops, although many chains have moved their premises to Cabot Circus. Most of the major department stores can be found in the streets outside. Department stores in Broadmead include Primark and Debenhams. Other high street stores include Lush, BHS, Next, New Look, River Island, Marks and Spencers, Waterstones, HMV, Currys, H&M, Miss Selfridge.[145]
Bristol also has quite vibrant district shopping centres. The best of these are probably:
There are also a number of markets in and around the city. St Nicholas Market [147] in the center, near Corn St. is a permanent fixture and has stalls selling jewellery, books, CDs and fresh food. It also hosts the 'Nails' market on Fridays and Saturdays and a Flea Market on Fridays, as well as various special markets around the end of the year. There are a number of farmers markets (and similar events) held at different venues around the city. These include:
Bristol has a huge choice of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. There are many around the Harbourside and The West End's Park Street and Whiteladies Road, but do not be dissuaded from trying those outside the centre as many are superior to those that attract passing trade due to their location. After a night out, or if your hotel allows food delivery, you will also be able to find many takeaways in Bristol , with different variaties of food.
Mid Range
The fact that it's the home to around 44,000 students probably says a lot for the quality of the city's nightlife. Surprisingly, though, it's relatively expensive, with prices similar to those in London. Mainstream nightlife centers around 3 main areas - Corn Street in the 'old city', Park Street / Whiteladies Road, and the Harbourside. These areas get extremely busy, if not rowdy, at weekends, however there are plenty of places in Bristol where you can have a good time without mixing with more student type crowds. drinksinbristol is a good source of information, as is Venue magazine.. The eastern end of King Street in the old city provides a slightly more relaxed, but popular, outdoor drinking area on sunny summer evenings, surrounded by historic pubs such as the 17th-century Llandoger Trow (reputed to have been the haunt of pirates and the model for the Admiral Benbow in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island").
Amongst the hundreds of brilliant venues in the city, there are four outstanding areas:
If you're a tourist in Bristol, you may enjoy visiting one of the city's pubs and bars with historic and literary connections.
Notable Pubs include;
City Centre
There are a number of traditional pubs located around the City Docks, such as The Cottage at the Hotwells end of the Floating Harbour, Grain Barge and the Nova Scota. These pubs can be accessed by foot or by harbour ferry.
Bars with Live music;
Non-alcoholic venues include:
There are a large number of hotels and guest houses in the Bristol area. A selection is listed below.
Stay safe
Like many other big cities in the UK, Bristol has its rough areas. Use common sense while getting around.
Drunken brawls and assaults occur in the centre of town on Friday and Saturday nights as pubs and clubs close, especially near the waterfront area, the Centre, taxi queues and fast food joints. This has been reduced somewhat by a heavy police presence and security guards monitoring the taxi queues.
Avoid Baldwin Street at the 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. kickout times. Go somewhwere else to hail a cab from some of the smaller, less busy ranks.
There are also specific areas that have a reputation after dark. The inner city districts of St Pauls and Easton are said to be rife with drugs and gangs but should not pose any danger to people outside the narcotics trade. The areas are as safe as anywhere else during the day. Pay attention to what is around you, and you should encounter no difficulties.
Also, some outlying suburbs such as Stokes Croft, Southmead, Knowle West and Hartcliffe have a bad reputation, but it is unlikely that a visitor to the city would travel to these parts.
The main problem is that many beggars approach people on the street to ask for money.
Also, you may find people offering you drugs in return for cash. Those people have no drugs and will instead give you a bogus parcel (such as balls of cellophane or matches wrapped in newspaper) and run off with your money. They often have knives so avoid the people in the first place.
Stay healthy
Bristol's landline area code is 117. Dial 0117 from within the UK or +44 117 from outside the UK.
Bristol has easy internet access like most cities, and as a city, has the advantage of broadband being easily accessible both to install and use. Bristol also has an abundance of internet cafes available for all to use. The council has also recently installed the internet in most of the main libraries in Bristol. Providing you are a member of Bristol Libraries you can book internet use although be prepared to wait if visiting the library during school term-times as students from the nearby school and college frequently use the facilities. A network of free wi-fi hotspots called StreetNet is being deploying in central Bristol. It is currently available around the Watershed and along Queen's Road. An up to date map of pubs, bars and cafe's in Bristol with free wifi is available here
Many small "i" stations can be found in and around the centre, allowing you to surf certain approved sites such as job search pages, visitor information, transport links and entertainment guides for local clubs and venues. You can also send emails with media attachments: for example you are able to film a message for someone to send alongside your regular email. A

NINE MONTHS after Wayne Swan described Kevin Rudd as a Labor saboteur in a blistering attack at the height of the leadership contest in February, the Treasurer has paid tribute to the former prime minister for steering Australia through the global financial crisis.
Mr Swan marked the fifth anniversary of Labor's 2007 election win by attending a protest against state budget government cuts in Brisbane and said the government's biggest achievements in its half-decade in power had been its economic management, the roll out of the National Broadband Network, improvements to aged care and the introduction of the carbon tax.
The Treasurer, who said he believed Labor had laid the foundations "for another five years" in power, made a rare concession towards the leadership of Mr Rudd as a principal reason Australia avoided sliding into recession along with most major advanced economies.
"Over the past five years we've seen the most turbulent period in the global economy since the Great Depression," he told reporters.
"In that five years ... Australia avoided recession, most other developed economies did not....
"Our previous prime minister Mr Rudd made, I believe, very, very substantial contribution to ensuring that our country didn't go into recession,"
It was a far cry from the scathing press statement Mr Swan made just hours after Mr Rudd dramatically resigned from the foreign affairs portfolio in the middle of a February night in Washington in order to challenge Julia Gillard for the prime ministership.
Mr Swan wrote at the time Mr Rudd "has been putting his own self-interest ahead of the interests of the broader labour movement and the country as a whole, and that needs to stop."
"The Party has given Kevin Rudd all the opportunities in the world and he wasted them with his dysfunctional decision making and his deeply demeaning attitude towards other people including our caucus colleagues," Mr Swan wrote. "He sought to tear down the 2010 campaign, deliberately risking an Abbott Prime Ministership, and now he undermines the Government at every turn."
Opposition leader Tony Abbott was also keen Labor's five year anniversary did not slip by unnoticed.
He issued a "charge sheet" highlighting what he called Labor's "policy failures" and said the "hope that many Australians felt on 24 November 2007 has been replaced with disillusionment in a government too focused on its own survival and not enough on the everyday concerns of Australians."
Mr Abbott said cost of living pressures, including massive electricity price rises, an influx of asylum seekers and four successive budget deficits, had characterised the government's reign. Mr Swan also used the media opportunity in Brisbane address further allegations in the ongoing Australian Workers Union slush fund fraud saga involving a former boyfriend of Ms Gillard saying the story was little more than the result of an opposition smear campaign fuelled by the recollections of a "crook".
The Opposition has vowed to pursue Ms Gillard in Parliament this week over the matter and says she has Prime Minister Julia Gillard has " legitimate questions to answer" over her connections to a the fund when she was a lawyer with Slater & Gordon in the 1990s.
Mr Swan said the story had little, if any, credibility because it mainly arises from the account of former AWU official Ralph Blewitt, who has admitted to engaging in fraud.
"This is a smear campaign which is not based on any facts and comes from someone who has admitted being involved in fraudulent activity," Mr Swan said. "I don't think anyone takes those statements with a grain of credibility.
"What we're seeing here is effectively a crook who has been joined by elements of the Liberal Party in a smear campaign against the prime minister."
The story was given fresh legs last week when Nick Styant-Browne, a former Slater & Gordon partner, raised questions about Ms Gillard's connection to a mortgage on a property bought by her former boyfriend and AWU official Bruce Wilson.
Mr Swan described Mr Styant-Browne as "disgruntled".

I peel back the address label on my Johnson Farm newsletter "Down at the Farm" to reveal the heading: "Looking for a few good volunteers." I read on.
"Dedicated volunteers have kept this farm moving forward. If you would like to be a part of our growing volunteer family, please call 828-891-6585. We are always happy to make new friends."
The newsletter, published quarterly, is promoting Christmas at the Farm, advertised as a family festival where "you can listen, learn, laugh, and relax."
I always try to attend this annual holiday event.
I check to identify Dec. 1 on the calendar. It's a Saturday (11 a.m. until 4 p.m.).
A short trip out Highway 191 and we can visit the 19th-century farm. The farmhouse, which began as a tobacco farm, was built in the 1870s. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. Riley Barnett built it by hand. The property was a former summer retreat.
In addition to the farmhouse, there are outbuildings. There are farm animals, a one-room school replete with furnishings and a barn-loft museum of farm implements.
This is the home of the heritage weavers. Classes in spinning and weaving by heritage fiber artists have added another dimension to heritage education. A band of dedicated volunteers has given generously of its time.
Leander (1895-1987) and Vernon (1891-1978) Johnson donated their home place for the Historic Johnson Farm Heritage Learning Center and other land for Rugby Middle School. They suggested the name Rugby to honor their childhood one-room school. A replica of that first school stands on the Middle School campus.
The residents of Henderson County, particularly our schoolchildren, are blessed to have a facility of this quality so available. Each year, more than 2,000 children visit the farm, where they experience what it might have been like to live on a farm — to get up before daybreak and do the chores, learn to read the weather and the land, and to appreciate the dignity and ritual of work.
Today, I enjoy chats with Sammy Reese, Kohlan Flynn, Ann and Corum Smith, Dot Marlow, Shirley McGee, Mary Garrison, John and Wanda Love. The farm is holding a reception to honor volunteers.
I have watched how these individuals, and others like them, have mowed the grass, cared for the farm animals, made repairs — planned for visits by schoolchildren.
Ingrid McNair is director of the Heritage Education Center. Each year, the facilities are enhanced and programs are expanded. Thanks to donors, who choose to remain anonymous, there is a fund to provide and care for farm animals.
The farm is more and more becoming a center for folk arts — music, storytelling and fiber arts, such as weaving.
Johnson Farm offers a youngster the opportunity to experience animal care — the birth of lambs and other farm animals. There are pictures in the newsletter of Spring Festival 2012. I spot a picture of Jack, a lamb born in 2011, getting his first shearing.
I remember reading how the Johnson brothers would sit on the porch of their brick farmhouse and, with a slingshot, send a small stone toward a squirrel or chipmunk to allow the birds to eat freely from the bird feeder.
The stone was aimed so as to never strike the squirrel or chipmunk. The Johnson brothers loved all animals.
Both the Henderson County Education Foundation Inc. and the Community Foundation of Henderson County have endowment funds for the farm.
They have staff members who provide information on charitable trusts and gifts of stock, goods and insurance. The newsletter reads: "Our hope is for the community to reach out and support the farm so it will forever remain a community resource."
Former Historic Johnson Farm Director Lisa Whitfield had this to say in 2004 when the two brothers were inducted into the Education Hall of Fame: "They cared more for the learning opportunities for the children of Henderson County than for fame and recognition. Their gift was their legacy — loving, learning and a great concern for the education of children."
A visit to the farm is a perfect way to journey into yesterday. Louise Bailey called it a visit to "unfrequented places."
I would love to write a play based on Dr. Fred Taylor's work about the different seasons at the farm. "The play begins with Aunt Sallie in the kitchen. She is busy getting breakfast. It is early morning …"
The play begins with Aunt Sallie …
I peel back the address label on my Johnson Farm newsletter "Down at the Farm" to reveal the heading: "Looking for a few good volunteers." I read on.

You have read Adorno. You are able to think critically about your desire for the shoes. Furthermore, you have a healthy class-hatred for people who dress habitually in clothes from this store...And:
If you do walk out with the shoes... they work like a drug—the anxieties that were plaguing you before you enter the store have lifted. As you step out into traffic, the still and stagnant city is suddenly charged with possibilityThat's where the internal argument ends up, and obviously she buys the shoes. Obviously, there's a huge mental element to consumerism, both before and after the purchase. Note that anxieties must be stirred up to provide an additional argument: I need to dispel these anxieties! She gets off on the purchase.
The parties you have scribbled in your calendar seem more glittery or interesting or fun, and you in the shoes, more daunting, more sylphlike, more free, more invulnerable....
Do you want to be the kind of person who sacrifices, overreaches, for a pair of shoes, who imbues them with a romantic overlay that a material object cannot possibly sustain?
My question: Why shoes? There's some discussion of how shoes "will transform you into someone else" — special shoe magic. (See "The Wizard of Oz.") There's oddly little reference to sex. Roiphe ignores Freud, who famously saw shoes as vagina symbols. Roiphe wants — or wants "you" — to be daunting, sylphlike, free, and invulnerable.
A sylph is a female fairy. In Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock," "women who are full of spleen and vanity turn into sylphs when they die because their spirits are too full of dark vapors to ascend to the skies." (Here is "The Rape of the Lock," with the illustrations by Aubry Beardsley, for only 99¢ on Kindle!)
So, maybe, why shoes? Why not dresses, jackets, jewelry, sweaters? I think it's that you've got to specialize — unless you're actually rich — if you're going to shop in the really expensive places. You can trick yourself into thinking you've been indulged. Still, why specialize in shoes?

The nation's unemployment rate edged down to 8.5 percent — its lowest level in nearly three years — as 200,000 jobs were were added to payrolls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics just reported.
We'll add more details from the report shortly, so hit your "refresh" button to see our latest updates.
Update at 8:45 a.m. ET. Looking Back:
At 8.5 percent, the jobless rate is the lowest since February 2009's 8.3 percent.
Update at 8:40 a.m. ET. Where The Jobs Were.
According to BLS:
"Employment in transportation and warehousing rose sharply in December (+50,000). Almost all of the gain occurred in the couriers and messengers industry (+42,000); seasonal hiring was particularly strong in December.
"Retail trade continued to add jobs in December, with a gain of 28,000. Employment in the industry has increased by 240,000 over the past 12 months.
"Over the month, job gains continued in general merchandise stores (+13,000) and in clothing and clothing accessories stores (+11,000). ...
"In December, manufacturing employment expanded by 23,000."
All those figures are "seasonally adjusted" to hopefully account for expected changes and better reflect the underlying trends.
Update at 8:38 a.m. ET. Private Sector Employment Rose By 212,000 Last Month, 1.9 Million In 2010:
"Over the past 12 months," BLS says, "nonfarm payroll employment has risen by 1.6 million. Employment in the private sector rose by 212,000 in December and by 1.9 million over the year."
Update at 8:36 a.m. ET. Slight Revision To November Rate: BLS says the unemployment rate dipped from a revised 8.7 percent in November (earlier, BLS had said the November jobless rate was 8.6 percent).

Remember how happy and excited you felt when you unpacked your new Samsung from it's box?
But soon you found out that your product is limited by a simlock and you can't choose to use it as you want.....so did you just spend hundreds of dollars on a product you don't even really own?!
Discover how easy you can remove this restriction and make your Samsung 100% YOURS!
Find yourself with an simlock free Samsung with our guaranteed super easy, fast and proven Unlock by Codes Service. We unlock the phones others don't and on top of that for the best prices!
Start with our no-risk, no obligations IMEI check by filling out the information about your phone below under step 1.
Important 'Unlock by codes' INFO:
!!!Click here to read!!!
Samsung unlock by codes (also known as Samsung unlock by IMEI) service is based on geographical regions. This is the reason you first need to select the region where your Samsung is simlocked and why prices are different per region. We will always provide all level unlock codes and we do not retrieve unlock codes from the operators as these NEVER provide unfreeze codes. We always provide: 1. Network unlock codes (NCK) 2. Service Provider unlock code (SPCK) 3. sub provider unlock code (CP) 4. Unfreeze / Defreeze code (MCK).
After purchasing we will instantly send you your SRS login (username + password) to the email address used to make the payment (make sure you can receive our emails and check your spam + junk). In this email we provide the login and an URL (website address) to submit your IMEI. You can instantly login and submit your IMEI. After the submission of your IMEI the processing time, mentioned when selecting region above, begins. When your IMEI is processed we will send the unlock codes + instructions to the same email address.
Note the indicated delivery time is a real time calculated average over the last 10 orders. So this time is a valid indication of the delivery time but it can also be faster or a little slower.
I've seen other sites offer 'instant' unlock, why don't you?
Good question! And let me explain you why.
Many sites claim 'instant unlock code delivery' but aren't that instant at all, and still take 30 min - 1.5 hour or longer to deliver. We could also write something like 'INSTANT delivery between 9:00 and 17:00 GMT +7'. As in this time frame unlock codes are often delivered under 5 minutes.. However we don't want to participate in these marketing tricks as this all depends on time zone's, working hours and even holidays. Which means for many people the delivery is NOT instant
We are honest and transparent and we show the realtime calculated average delivery time over the last 10 orders to give you a very accurate estimate of unlock code delivery.
Popular models for unlock by codes
Samsung Galaxy SIII unlock codes | Samsung Galaxy Y unlock codes | Samsung Galaxy S2 unlock codes | Samsung S5830M unlock codes | Samsung Galaxy Ace unlock codes | Samsung Galaxy Pocket NEO unlock codes | Samsung Galaxy Mini unlock codes |

When the needle hits the grooves of "We Are The Star People," you will instantly drift away to a celestial arena where endless stacks of amplifiers drench and bathe you in sonic overdrive bliss. Majestic, timeless & epic - Turn Me On Dead Man conjures the fantastic-ness of the nebulas. Your mind will conjure thoughts of infinite space and color as you succumb to the mammoth vibrations of TMODM's 4th full-length creation. With powerchords so heavy and melodies so sweet, the doors of the cosmos will fling open and welcome you to a spiritual place where Tony Iommi and Ace Frehley freely trade guitar licks with Marc Bolan and George Harrison.
While the band creates a glam rock lysergic-playground, their songs touch on things much deeper and surreal. You'll have to decide if the title track refers to native Americans invaded by outsiders or if it's a play on the Hollywood star mentality. The mighty "Dreamchild" is a pure psychedelic pop song of redemption. "Deep Space Pollen" is space rock at its finest with druggy vocals yearning to understand the ufo/alien abduction phenomenon. "Let Them Eat Flowers" is psychedelic perfection, and "Heart Of The Deaf," the most 'traditional' tune on the album, earns you a free tarot reading with every play.
"We Are The Star People" encompasses what analog is all about - a record born for the LP format. A document for the ages that needs to be held in your hand. Recorded on 2" tape like a record should be, turn it up loud and burn out as you head into space at warp speed. Is it the 70s? Is this the 90s? No man, it's now!
"As funny it is, I love it. Never heard this band who plays a weird grunge-psychedelic. 8 tracks out on Alternative Tentacles. We got carry, especially with « Deep Space Pollen ». There is something special that you do love it. And suddenly, everything become more rock'n'roll with « Star People », it never stop and it's good. Well played guys. Very curious with the next one."- Bootboys Kulture

The Coastal Program
Caring for Our Coastal Habitats
As Americans flock to the coasts to enjoy
their beauty and recreational and
economic opportunities, communities and
resource managers face the challenge of
integrating economic development with
conservation of coastal resources. The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Coastal
Program helps communities meet this
Project Examples:
Alaska - Restored fish habitat by re-creating
pool, runs, and riffles and
removing barriers to fish passage. Project
monitoring will provide information about
the response of a stream system and the
fish and wildlife that live there.
Chesapeake Bay - Provided technical
assistance to Anne Arundel County,
Maryland to develop a reference reach
database for stream restoration design.
The county will use
this database for
reviewing stream
restoration projects
in Maryland's
western coastal
plain, a region with
pressure and
significant stream
Delaware Bay -
Controlled invasive
Phragmites and cattails on approximately
1,382 acres of emergent wetland and 156
acres of upland habitat to improve habitat
conditions for native fish and wildlife.
Great Lakes - Removed a culvert,
excavated stream banks, and planted
native trees and shrubs to restore fish
passage for native brook trout and reduce
Gulf of Maine - Worked in close
coordination with Beginning with Habitat,
the first major coordinated statewide effort
of several State and Federal agencies to
provide integrated data on important
habitats. In FY 2004 alone, 40 towns and
11 land trusts received presentations and
information. Contributed to the
partnership by producing maps, finalizing
written products and distributing
information and mapped data to town
planners and land trusts in Maine.
Hawaii - Helped implement the Waipa
Community's watershed restoration plan to
remove alien riparian and coastal
vegetation and replant with native species
grown in local greenhouses. Partners
included the Waipa Foundation and the
Kamehameha Schools.
The Coastal Program Approach
• Partners with coastal communities to
improve the health of their
watersheds for fish, wildlife and
• Identifies, evaluates and maps
important habitat and provides
technical assistance.
• Assesses the health of coastal
habitats and the wildlife resources
dependent upon them.
• Restores habitat.
Coastal Program's Accomplishments
From 1994 - 2004
Restored -
• 112,000 acres of coastal wetlands
• 26,100 acres of coastal uplands
• 1,118 miles of coastal streamside
Protected - 1.33 million acres of
coastal habitat.
In FY 2004
• 19 partership agreements
Restored -
• 18,325 acres of coastal wetlands
• 1646 acres of coastal uplands
• 157 miles of streamside habitat
• 4 fish barriers removed
Protected -
• 28,589 acres of coastal wetlands
• 310,643 acres of coastal uplands

activities, accomplishments and contacts.
February 2005
Puget Sound, Washington - Removed in-stream
blockages and installed fish-passable
culverts and weirs. This project
restored access to spawning and rearing
habitats for coho and chum salmon and
steelhead and cutthroat trout. Partners
included the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife, the South Puget Sound
Salmon Enhancement Group, the Thurston
Conservation District, and over 20 private
South Carolina Coast - Provided technical
assistance and funding to help protect
1,228 acres of coastal wetlands, uplands
and riparian habitat from conversion and
loss due to expanding residential and
urban development.
Texas Gulf Coast - Used management
techniques including prescribed fire, and
grazing on 4,500 acres of coastal prairie
and wetlands to maintain and enhance
native vegetation. This project provides
habitat for migratory grassland birds and
potential habitat for the critically
endangered Attwater's prairie chicken.
Threats to Coastal Habitats
• Habitat loss due to urbanization
• Fishery habitat loss
• Frequent oil spills
• Wetland losses of 50-90% from
historic levels
• Nutrient over-enrichment
• Dams and culverts which restrict
or limit the movement of fish and

Just in case you were wondering, Electronic Arts and Steam haven't made up yet. Their ongoing duel centers around two things: the existence of EA's rival Origin service, and Valve's policies regarding DLC on Steam. Mass Effect 3 is an EA game, and therefore will require Origin on PC, and will not be available for sale on Steam.
"During initial release Mass Effect 3 will be available on Origin and a number of other 3rd party digital retailers, but not on Steam at this time," BioWare confirmed. "Steam has adopted a set of restrictive terms of service which limit how developers interact with customers to deliver patches and other downloadable content."
"We are intent on providing Mass Effect to players with the best possible experience no matter where they purchase or play their game, and are happy to partner with any download service that does not restrict our ability to connect directly with our consumers," a forum post (via IGN) advises fans.
Origin will be required for all PC copies of Mass Effect 3, physical or digital. And, as previously reported, Mass Effect 3 will require a "one time, single authorization" for the single player game, but will not require a persistent connection unless playing multiplayer (for obvious reasons).
Mass Effect 3 will be available on March 6th.

In the vortex of a Bushcroft future, there's simply not enough crude, dark post-punk apocalyptic noise in the world. Re-enter Thrall, back on A.T. for their third full-length cauldron of bedlam from the other side of the Masonic Lodge door.
Front and center is unique vocal stylist Mike Hard (ex-God Bullies, Hand Over Head, Debauched), whose stage assault is somewhere between Lux Interior, Jimmy Swaggart caught with his pants down, and Renfield (the guy who eats the flies in "Dracula"). Once seen, a Mike Hard show is never forgotten.
Lifer reunites Mike Hard with guitarist Scott Kodrik, who wrote most of the music on their classic Alternative Tentacles debut, Chemical Wedding. Seeing is believing, hearing is divine.
"I must have missed an LP or two by THRALL somewhere along the line - I haven't heard anything from them since their debut album seven years ago. Regardless, not much has changed for the band other than the fact they are even darker, creepier, heavier, and more overpowering than before. Some might call this "post-hardcore" but that would be selling the band short. A better description would be "hardcore and more." This is like taking the most sinister of the AmRep bands and listening to them have a psychotic episode. I don't care if you are a fan or metal, hardcore, noise or electric polka, you are gonna find something here to twist your mind." - inmusicwetrust.com
"Lifer is the most diverse of all Thrall recordings, so much so that I can't describe the album as "all the songs go up-down-up-down" or "all the songs have dark chords with high lead notes on top." Therefore, we could be here all night as I try to figure out what to say about it. Strap on your ass dildo - it's going to be a wild ride!
Like the legendary Nirvana after Pat Smear joined and during the songs when Kurt didn't play the guitar, Thrall is here reduced to a four-piece with one guitarist. It's the same band as God Hung You, except the bassist got his ass canned (and caned - in Malaysia) and one of the guitarists replaced him. The sound is much more raw, loud and noisy than the first two albums, with an exciting live-sounding action-packed smash-a-lot drum tone. Mike goes over the top with strange news and radio drama samples, darn near putting one at the end of every song. There's also quite a few moments of wah-wah guitar, unfortunately, but we'll let that one slide on account of the terrifically hooky, romping, twisted music they're writing, recording and releasing this time right round. Like the last record, a few parts suffer from generic Jesus Lizard chords and lame hard rock riffing, but the good-to-middling ratio is much higher this time around. By my count, more than half of the songs have terrifically hooky, romping, slightly disturbed rock riffs that serve as perfectamundo accompanimentamundo to Mike's conspiracy rants and sad character studiesamundo. Heavy chords, loud bass, headbanging drum contraptions, some high notes of course - just chalk it up as "loud creative guitar rock riffs of slight strangeness" and we'll agree to agree.
This is the first Thrall CD to come with a complete lyrics sheet, so you'll be amazed and miserable as you read his twisted, obsessive tales of deranged (yet possible!) fringe beliefs. In the very first track, he suggests that Jesus was a fraud, and his descendents are using his lies to control all of us! And that's in the very first song! Aw man, don't even get me TALKING about "I Thought I Told You," "We're Gonna Get What We Deserve" and "I Blame Myself"! Don't EVEN!
One song you CAN get me talking about, however, is the absurdly rhythmic (and hooky as the day!) "Petrochemical Pharmaceutical Military Industrial Complex." I maintain that it is IMPOSSIBLE to hear this song without chanting the title alongside Mike Hard during the chorus (although to be fair, he kinda screams it at the top of his lungs). Likewise, "Get up and go to work! Go home and go to bed! (repeat)" is a vocal hook so hooky it's like a hooker in a bra with lots of hooks and wearing fish hooks as earrings and having a hook instead of an arm, watching TJ Hooker. And what's hookier than that? I'll tell you what! Billy Joel!
Mike Hard is a unique and idiosyncratic lyricist and vocalist (not to mention performer -- when I saw the God Bullies live, he was dressed in a suit and rubbing a newspaper against his groin!), so it's fantastic (and kind of unexpected!) that he managed to find two different groups of musicians creative enough to carry on his warped musical vision after the God Bullies collapsed on the highway to the streets of nowhere. Does Thrall still exist in some shay, fape or worm? I dunno. David Livingstone told me in an interview last year that the God Bullies were recording a new album, but it still hasn't seen the light of day four years later. So who knows? And who cares as long as "Whoa-oh-oh-oh, For The Longest Time" is available at our local underground punk rock store?"- Mark Prindle

Most people assume that you are talking about Cork or Bamboo when mentioning Eco-Friendly wood flooring. But now, due to advances in both the manufacturing of engineered hardwood flooring and the management of sustainable hardwood forests, the homeowner no longer has to feel guilty installing new hardwood floors.
What Is Engineered Hardwood?
Engineered hardwood flooring is made up of layers, similar to plywood, only using the actual hardwood as the very A Dummies Guide on Hardwood Floors Yale OK 74085 top layer. This reduces the need for the hardwood to a small percentage compared to the traditional solid plank. The underlying layers can be made from fast growing, underutilized, and less expensive wood species grown in privately managed forests as well as recycled wood products. This not only helps preserve our forests but also saves the consumer money.
Looking at plank from the side it is easy to see the different Yale OK 74085 layers, but once the flooring is installed there is no discernable difference in the look and feel between a solid and engineered material. There is a large difference in performance though.
Engineered hardwood flooring is not only eco-friendly but it is also more durable, moisture resistant, easier to install and economical. Though the initial cost can be more than solid plank varieties, the price difference can be made up for in Solid Hardwood Flooring Yale OK 74085 the labor savings in the installation alone. Self-locking systems allow for floating installations which do not require any nailing and which can be placed directly onto concrete. Plank replacement is also much easier with a locking system.
With the added benefit of being moisture resistant, it can be used in basements, high humidity environments and in rooms with radiant floor heating.
Repair and Refinish
Most engineered hardwood floors come prefinished which also saves Yale OK 74085 the homeowner significant time and expense. There are many different finishes to choose from, as well as unfinished if desired.
Due to the thin top layer, repairing engineered hardwood flooring is limited when compared to solid harwood which can be sanded and refinshed exstensively. Minor damage to engineered hardwood flooring can be easily repaired and most products can be refinished a few times. Engineered product also lends itself to easy replacement. Yale OK 74085 but with the low cost and ease of replacing a single strip or section again, engineered is more practical and economical.
Good for the Environment, Good for the Wallet
It's not often that you can help the environment and actually save money at the same time. With engineered hardwood flooring you can. Flooring manufacturers such as Armstrong and Mohawk have additional information on their websites. Another good online resource is: http://www.nachi.org/engineered-wood-flooring.htm the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
Your local flooring retailer is the perfect place to examine the available products and if you are in Mid-Tennessee, please stop by Preston Thompson's Carpet Shoppe in Dickson TN.

It seems since about 6 months ago it has been less and less in the news? What's the conclusion about it? What did it ACTUALLY accomplish? I am not taking a stand here saying it is good or bad all that controversy has been hashed to death already. But I will say it was costly by all accounts and resulted in a lot of lost productivity. But, on the other hand it built awareness around several long-term social problems namely income inequality. But was it merely reactionary without effecting real change in the "system" it decried (since the "powers that be" are still in control of the economy even the politics of America. I am just trying to get to the final analysis on it since it seems to have run it's course at least a current event issue. Or so it seems. Certainly in Canada there is a lot less activity and it's almost getting ready to fade into the history books.
I was just looking at a youtube on the Occupy in downtown Dayton OH last October and it seemed so weak and silly. Just my reaction.....Viewing such videos a few years back seemed to have more impact...and that's just it...was it just a reaction destined to fade???

To Catch a Michigan Fan?
After getting some emails from Buck fans who claimed one of the alleged perps on a recent episode of NBC's To Catch a Predator was sporting a very, uh, familiar looking hat, we asked our readers to send us a link if they had it. To prove your case. Well, you did (damn you).
Now keep in mind, this show was shot in Texas and the town name started with an "M" so maybe (hopefully) this wasn't a Michigan hat at all. I mean, that doesn't even look like a block M. To me, that's more of a...uh...balloon, yes, a "Balloon M." And I wouldn't call that hat maize. Hell no. It's practically orange. Seriously.
Oh, and if you're a Buckeye fan who's new to this site, before you throw any stones in the comments section regarding this post, first check out this link from inside your glass house.

Looks like there are a lot of glass houses on this street and Michigan's was the house of the week.

That hats clearly orange. I don't even think the M was Blue. More of a violet. LOL

I think that hat is from mansfield, ohio and he is a closet buckeye fan...lol
- February 26, 2007 9:34 AM
it looks like the guy has a mustache. there goes your "buckstache" theory.
- February 26, 2007 10:32 AM
Sometimes it's just too easy.
- February 26, 2007 10:37 AM
That's definitely a Marquette hat.
- February 26, 2007 10:56 AM
At least the guy is a big fan of the show. And he didn't even get time to chalk his cue.
At least we keep our pervs in state...lol.
The sad reality is that it seems to be a serious problem all over the country, from all walks of life.

I've seen a lot of differnt variations of UM hats...and that definitely could be one of them. Also, the picture clarity is not that great....so it's hard to tell between orange and yellow.
But I still think it's yellow (or, well maize)

Hate to bring the mood down, but tosubuckeyes is right-it's sad that this show has been on a couple of years now yet there are still many many people trying to solicit sex from underage girls and boys.
Okay, back to the jokes.
- February 26, 2007 2:10 PM
That guy has to be a TSUN fan. I mean, even has the face of a skunk weasel.
- February 26, 2007 4:21 PM
Missouri hat?
- February 26, 2007 6:11 PM
Thant's pretty much the same "M" that Lloyd has on his hat.
- February 26, 2007 6:37 PM
- ohio_guy said...
then again, come to think of it, Michigan DOES have one of the most generic logos out there...
But I still say it's a UM hat.
- February 26, 2007 8:15 PM
Goes to show you the lengths buckeye fans will go to make Michigan look bad... To think a guy would throw away his life to dress in UM garb and pose as a pedophile...

The M is black...he's gotta be a Mizzou fan!!!!
- February 27, 2007 2:21 AM
We gotta put Missouri, Minnesota, and all the other M's on the tag until we have an on-camera confession from the guy that he is a Michigan fan.

Now, I know this is actualy maize and blue, but for some reason it looks orange and black in the pic
- February 27, 2007 5:19 PM
The perp's screen ID has the word "Brighton" in it. This is, of course, the same name as an upscale town that is basically a shared suburb of Detroit and Ann Arbor.
I'm sure that, like the hat and the solicitation, it's all just a horrible misunderstanding. ;)

the guy was from texas - everyone knows how well Michigan recruits out of state right?
all of our predators are homegrown

It wasn't our Block M, either...

mgoblue93, not only is Chris Hansen a former WDIV reporter, he's also a Sparty! So you know if it was a Michigan hat he would have gotten in a comment about it.

Holy shit Benny... I had no idea. But I also have plenty of Sparty friends out here in Colorado now... we gotta stick together against all the Avholes who cannot even spell N-H-L and think Denver is much more than a glorified cowtown.

McQuade will remain as a senior advisor to Grassby until the end of her contract in May 2013 to ensure a successful transition.
"My decision to retire at this time reflects my belief that a CFO should have a long-term commitment to the company. Brian is ready to take the reins and his deep financial expertise and continuity of leadership will drive overall financial strength and shareholder value as the company enters this significant period of change," said McQuade. "Brian and I have been working on transition plans and with our new CIO, Mike Redeker in place, now is an appropriate time for me to shift my role to an advisory position. I feel confident that I am leaving Hunter with a leadership team that will serve him, CP and our shareholders very well."
McQuade joined CP in June 2007 as executive vice-president and chief operating officer and was appointed executive vice-president and CFO in September 2008. Prior to her move to CP, she spent 27 years with Norfolk Southern Corp.
As CP's senior vice-president and CFO, Grassby's responsibilities will continue to include financial planning, reporting and accounting systems, as well as pension, treasury, tax and supply services. Under Grassby's leadership, in 2010 CP successfully completed the transition from Canadian to U.S. GAAP. Prior to joining CP as vice-president and comptroller in 2001, Grassby spent more than 14 years in finance at a large Canadian electronics firm. He is a graduate in Commerce from McGill University and is a Chartered Accountant.

Outside of the future Berryessa Station area, this is the first major construction activity in San Jose for this project.
The 10-mile project features 11 fully grade-separated intersections. At Hostetter Road, the future BART tracks will be lowered in a trench so trains can pass beneath the current street-level roadway, separating BART trains from vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian traffic. The grade separations on this project enhance safety overall at all major intersections along the future BART Silicon Valley system, further reducing traffic congestion due to the elimination of train crossings.
Construction will take place between Lundy Avenue and Flickinger Avenue on Hostetter Road, starting with a temporary lane shift and reduction in traffic lanes from three to two lanes in both directions. This lane reduction and shift in traffic will facilitate construction on one-half of the new bridge while maintaining traffic flow simultaneously. Crews will begin to dig the trench for future BART trains below Hostetter Road and relocate existing utilities in the area. Work will last approximately seven to nine months.
Traffic lanes will be shifted a second time to construct the second half of the new bridge. The end result will be a new Hostetter Road bridge at street-level, wide enough to accommodate bicycle lanes, sidewalks and three lanes of traffic in each direction.

The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots. The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file system.
MatrixSSL is an embedded SSL and TLS implementation designed for small footprint devices and applications requiring low overhead per connection. The library is less than 50Kb on disk with cipher suites. It includes client and server support through TLS 1.2, mutual authentication, session resumption, and implementations of RSA, ECC, AES, 3DES, ARC4, SHA2, SHA1, and MD5. The source is well documented and contains portability layers for additional operating systems, cipher suites, and cryptography providers.
OpenConnect server (ocserv) is an SSL VPN GNU/Linux server. Its purpose is to be a secure, small, fast, and configurable VPN server which depends on standard protocols like TLS 1.2 and Datagram TLS. It implements the AnyConnect SSL VPN protocol and is compatible with the OpenConnect VPN client (compatibility with other Anyconnect SSL VPN clients is experimental).
The CyaSSL embedded SSL library is a lightweight SSL library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded and RTOS environments, primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments and cloud services as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. CyaSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as HC-128, RABBIT, and NTRU.
SSLsplit is a tool that performs man-in-the-middle attacks against SSL/TLS encrypted network connections for network forensics and penetration testing. It terminates SSL/TLS and initiates a new connection to the original destination, logging all data transmitted. It supports plain TCP and SSL, HTTP and HTTPS, and IPv4 and IPv6. For SSL and HTTPS, it generates and signs forged X509v3 certificates on-the-fly using the original certificate's subject DN and subjectAltName extension. It supports Server Name Indication, RSA, DSA, and ECDSA keys, and DHE and ECDHE cipher suites. It can also use existing certificates if the private key is available.
cqueues is a comprehensive event and networking library for Lua 5.2 and LuaJIT using modern Unix O(1) polling facilities. It includes libraries for buffered socket I/O, SSL/TLS sockets, DNS querying, signal handling, threading, file change notification, and X.509 key management. It natively supports Linux, *BSD, OS X, and Solaris systems without third-party dependencies, and is interoperable with any event loop that accepts plain descriptors, or is usable standalone.
Industria is a collection of portable R6RS Scheme libraries for cryptography (AES, DES, Blowfish, HMAC, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, RSA, DSA, etc.), zip/gzip/zlib decompression, disassembly of amd64 machine code, Off-The-Record messaging, bytevector pack/unpack syntax, TLS connections via custom binary ports, and more.
sec-wall is a feature-packed security proxy that supports SSL/TLS, WS-Security, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL matching/rewriting, and an optional header enrichment. It's a security wall with which you can conveniently fence otherwise defenseless backend servers.
sessiond allows a cluster of SSL/TLS servers to share their session caches in order to prevent each node of the cluster from negotiating a separate session. SSL/TLS session is basically a set of secret values (symmetric encryption keys, MAC secrets) shared between a client and a server. The use of asymmetric cryptography required to establish new sessions is the main performance bottleneck of the SSL/TLS protocol.
