We got them an answering machine, which is like the stupidest gift to give your parents because no one ever calls my parents except for their kids. So my mother put the appropriate message on the machine: 'Look, we're not here right now. If you'd like to leave a message, leave one. If you don't want to leave one, don't. We're not going to be making decisions for you anymore. You have to make up your own g**damn minds. Thank you.'

As you already know, the centrix towers have been extremely quiet lately and we want you to know what exciting things that are going on.
We feel the community would be pleased to know that we are working on 3 releases of Olate Download concurrently. We are working on Centrix Dispatch 4, the new branch of Olate Download. We are also working on the 3.5 release of Olate Download, which has some interesting new features, security enhancements, and finally some major performance enhancements. We are also working on OD 3.4.3 as some security bulletins have been published. We have some exciting new enhancements that should bring XSS attacks down to a screeching halt. We already have most security issues corrected in Olate Download 3.5, however, we feel that 3.5 is not ready for the wild, so we are working hard to port our security enhancements into 3.4.3. ... read more

|N° 43 - November 2004
The Air team are also the originators of the Ig-Nobels (a word play on ignoble). Honouring authentic scientists who are authors of authentic studies, these prizes cover more fields than their Swedish namesake, most notably mathematics, psychology and 'interdisciplinarity'. The awards ceremony is held in the United States and is attended not just by the winners, who are systematically invited, but also genuine Nobel prizewinners who enter into the spirit. Following last year's event, some of the Ig-Nobels embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The ceremony is held during National Science Week and is sponsored by the very serious British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS) and the Times Higher Education Supplement.
So who gets the prizes? The 2004 Ig-Nobels, announced on 30 September, included awards for the following:
Medicine: The effect of country music on suicide
Public health: Investigating the scientific validity of the 'five-second' rule (considering whether it is safe to eat food that has been dropped on the floor or if it has had time to be contaminated)
Physics: Coordination modes in the multisegmental dynamics of hula hooping
The proposal to create a European Research Council (ERC) is receiving more backing all the time. The most recent was from the 52 European scientific organisations that have signed the petition drawn up and published by the Initiative for Science in Europe (ISE). Headed by José Mariano Gago, a scientist and politician who was one of the architects of the Lisbon Strategy, the ISE followed up this action by organising, in Paris (FR) last October, a conference on the subject of the future ERC, with the aim of stimulating debate and action.
|In July 1974, work was completed on a tunnel with a circumference of 7 km, straddling the Franco-Swiss border at a depth of 40 metres. This was the first cross-border accelerator, the SPS (Super Proton Synchtron), equipped with what was at the time a futuristic computer control system.
|The construction of the LEP (Large Electron-Positron Collider), an underground ring with a circumference of 27 km, again between France and Switzerland, was, in the 1980s, the biggest European construction site before work began on the Channel Tunnel.
|The present LHC site: transporting the heavy, long and fragile superconductor magnets. Replacing the LEP, the LHC will enter into service at the beginning of 2007. It will be the most powerful and sophisticated accelerator ever built. The United States is a partner in the project.

Similar Mustang PartsMore Taillight Wiring
Installation Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Product ReviewsWrite a review
AMP Taillight Wiring Harness Coupe/Convertible 1965-1966 is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Diggler from Great Product But Missing Taillight Plug This is an awesome wiring harness. It fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it does not come with the taillight wire pigtail exstension (Part #WTL1E). You really need those in this kit if you have the plug style connectors in the back of the taillights. I didn't know the kit didn't have them in there, so I had to order them separately which set me back a couple of days on my project.

does this include the brake lights wiring? everything else works on mine aside from that
This includes the brake light wiring from the A-pillar to the taillights.

Posted by a Family client
I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone. My consultation was great and he sat me down and explained everything to me. He is super witty and has a great personality. His office isnt stuffy like the other attorney's I met with. His staff are courteous and professional. Patience is a virtue and Rocco and his staff have a lot of patience. Any questions that I had were answered right away. Thanks Rocco for a great job well done. You truly helped me in my time of need!
Posted by Bunny
Excellent service, kind man. I feel he is the EXPERT in juvenile law. Rocco Marucci his expertise and experience, manner of practice, his reputation, standing, relationships with other attorneys, judges and officers of the court plus his "customer service" skills made an extremely stressful situation less fearful for me. Quick to respond with complete answers that eased my mind were critical to my own health and Rocco never left me wondering. Rocco freed one the authorities very much wanted to keep-a complicated juvie case I had no hope of winning having run out of resources and was going pro se with an adversary that had unlimited legal resources. I felt hopeless but fought like a banshee and determined if I had to die to get her released, then let it be so. Through a Divine Appointment I met Mr. Marucci not as a perspective client, but on other business. On another occasion I asked if he knew someone who could answer a question about juvie law and found out he is the authority and expert. He has good relationships in that arena-the best I could have hoped for. I paid for the case we discussed and then two more came up I wasn't aware of or prepared for and though complicated, he cleared them all for the little money I had given for just one. He smoothly finalized all issues quickly and did not collect fees for the other cases, but could have billed me 3x what I paid him. There were times I was so worried I just burst into his office and he politely gave me his full attention. He never let me down and always got back to me if I called. Clearly, Mr. Marucci KNOWS the law intricately per his responses to my queries or suggestions showing me things I didn't even know existed. His presentation, performance and personality exceptional and I trust and admire him more than any other attorney I can think of. The man is well liked and respected highly by contemporaries and those he works with at the Courthouse at 201 SE 6th Street. His excellent reputation and professional relationships and expertise is widely known. I have had experience with perhaps 8 attorneys in other specialties over a decade or so and only 3 of them did what I paid them for-5 were just adding billable hours. I not only recommend Rocco Marucci highly, he is the only one I would recommend. May God bless him as the world would be so much nicer if more were as honest, decent, and skilled as this man. (MY HERO).

Mr. Marucci's office helped me save my house and re-arrange my debts so it was affordable every month.
I was hesitant at first but the results are the proof that this office knows there stuff.
Posted by Robin
This is the worst lawyer in the US. He does not have a license to practce in Mo and all he did was take my money.DONT EVER HIRE HIM. He gave my case to another firm who also did NOTHING. i HIRED HIM TO HAVE MY MORTGAGE MODIFIED AND I LOST MY HOME ANYWAY. sAVE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE
Posted by a Foreclosure client
I thought this was going to to a scan- but i had no choice- I signed up and after 14 Months - Flagstar- is giving me a trial modification and a down payment of 3,000,00 - Holly with Mr. Marucci's office is the best and takes her time talking with you and explaining everything. This was a long process but the results are worth it.
Posted by a Debt Agreements client
This firm saved my home from foreclosure and settled my debts with my creditors for pennies on the dollar. I thank them for their help. I know I was a pain in their side weekly, but they did do everything they told me they would. Thank you.
Posted by a Financial Services client
I was your average american struggling to pay my debts when my phone rang and a sly snake told me how I could pay his law firm far less and they would eliminate alll my credit card debt and lower my house note all to 20% of my monthly income since Obama had passed new laws that allow for this. It sounded too good too be true so I reserached the lawyer and all seemed on the up and up. So I bought into it and sold my sole to this devil.
My phone rings off the hook as my bills have stopped getting paid completely, my house is now in foreclosure, my stress levels are at dangerous levels all the while I could get a hold of this law firm for over a month. I finally speak to them to only get a whole new version of what they really do and come to find out that even though I have paids them $3000 dollars they have not done anything at all yet and want me to resend all of my information again. What is more incredible is that they want me to start paying them again. I blame myself but you dont have too.
Posted by Gary
LAw firm advised they will assist in financial recovery. They recieved 2 payments from me in the amount of $850.00 each then stopped all contact and changed phone number. SCAM. Please be aware.
Posted by Jennifer
This Law Firm was recommended to me by a friend and I was certainly a bit hesitant, but I ended up seeing results that were well beyond my wildest expectations. I would implore anybody that is considering this firm to jump in and enjoy the results.

Just a quick question.
Can this:
be done with image processing on an iOS device? If yes, how?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Just a quick question.
Can this:
be done with image processing on an iOS device? If yes, how?
You should be able to do this just by looping and drawing the circles in black and white, and then using that image as a mask for your image.
Here's the first link I found on Google about CoreGraphics masking, which you can probably adapt for your needs: http://cocoawithlove.com/2009/09/creating-alpha-masks-from-text-on.html
I'd imagine drawing lots of circles is something you can figure out with some Googling of your own.
Yes, although Core Graphics may not be the best way to do such filtering on an image. My recommendation would be to use an OpenGL ES 2.0 fragment shader. In fact, I just wrote one to do this:
This is the GPUImagePolkaDotFilter that I just added to my open source GPUImage framework . The easiest way to use it is to grab the framework and apply the filter to whatever you want (it's fast enough to run in real time on video).
If you'd just like to use the fragment shader, the following is my code for this:
SHORT Answer is: YES, but exactly using which framework i'm not sure for the moment. Note: Yo have just asked if it is possible, i gave the anwer for your question, not for how to go

To the Editor:—
The use of acetazolamide (Diamox) as a diuretic carries with it implications and dangers of which many physicians are insufficiently aware. The drug is contraindicated in individuals with chronic narrow-angle glaucoma since its potent action in diminishing aqueous production serves to maintain normal intraocular tension even as peripheral anterior synechiae are building up. A similar mechanism may apply in persons with very shallow anterior chambers whose outflow mechanism is on the verge of embarrassment or even where minor elevations of tension occur with barely recognizable symptoms. In these individuals, the use of the drug may mask the occlusive process in the angle of the anterior chamber by producing and maintaining a normal intraocular tension. Accordingly, it is my feeling that acetazolamide should never be used except with the endorsement of the ophthalmologist, or where the physician is assured of the depth of the anterior chamber. These considerations

Resolutions from cyberspace
Our MySpace friends shared some of their New Years resolutions with us. None of those resolutions included spending less time on the Internet.
Heres what they had to say:
To continue to follow his royal majesty Jesus.
Knights of King Jesus
My new years resolution is to live life the way I want. Im not going to worry what other people think I should do w/my life, my kids, or my family. I'm going to live to make myself, my hubby, and my kids happy.
I (heart) being Mrs. Blanchard!!!
To bake a perfect pie crust.
And if youre like most Americans, youll drop your lofty plans before the first Mardi Gras parade rolls.
It doesnt have to be that way, according to several Web sites boasting advice for keeping New Years Resolutions, such as ehow.com.
Heres a compilation of those tips:
Dont go for an Extreme Makeover.
Set realistic, achievable goals.
Bad: In 2008, I will win the Louisiana Powerball jackpot.
Good: In 2008, I will become better at managing my money by budgeting.
Be specific.
Set specific goals instead of broad or vague goals.
Bad: I will be a better person.
Good: I will stop talking about my coworker behind her back.
Get a plan.
Make a plan -- immediately -- to reach your goals. Break your larger goals into smaller goals.
Bad: I will get in shape.
Good: I will hit the gym twice a week, eat more fruits and vegetables and drink water instead of soft drinks.
Make a switch.
Exchange new behaviors for those you want to change.
Bad: I will quit smoking.
Good: I will quit smoking. Instead of smoking, I will drink coffee, chew gum or take a walk.
Make it personal.
Aim for goals that are important to you, not goals that other people think you should reach or you think other people expect for you to reach.
Bad: I will clean out my car/closet/garage, because my mother/father/significant other has been pestering me to do so, and this will get her/him off my back.
Good: I will learn a new phrase in Spanish each week, because Ive been wanting to learn a new language.

This illustration released by XCOR shows a two-seat rocket ship capable of suborbital flights to altitudes more than 37 miles above the Earth. The Lynx, about the size of a small private plane, is expected to begin flying in 2010, according to developer Xcor Aerospace, which planned to release details of the design at a press conference on Wednesday.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Walter Jacobi, a member of an elite team
of Germans that settled in Huntsville and helped build the nation's
rocket arsenal during the Cold War, has died.
He was 91.
Jacobi, who died Wednesday, was part of the team of 118
scientists that came to America with Wernher von Braun at the end
of World War II.
Friends say Jacobi helped design the structure and components of America's Cold War rockets.
Jacobi is a native of Saalfeld, Germany who worked with von
Braun's team during World War II building V-2 rockets.
He was captured by the U.S. Army and sent to Texas to work for the
military. He moved to Hunstville in 1950.

Chicks are just hot.
Say "YES" to War on Iraq by Dan Savage Oct. 2002
"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times."
"The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."
Washington Post June 27, 2008
"Bomb Kills Marines, Iraqi Tribal Leaders
At Least 40 Die in Two Separate Attacks"
truer words have never been typed, JTC.
But guys can be pretty hot too, so where are the gay Gay Pride photos?
Last night, just at Quinn's, I saw at least twelve guys I would let fuck me.
It is absolutely not too late to score tickets to see tonight's performance of Leslie Jordan with the Seattle Men's Chorus @ McCaw Hall - the gayest show in town - not to mention the funniest - and most importantly the one that says: "it's so important to be who you are" and let the rest of the world deal with it. Sordid lives will be explored and dealt with.
Hot guy photos coming! WATCH Le Slog!
I'm not even remotely into girls, but those two at the top are smokin'. They look like part of Ray-Ray Perkins' sex posse in A Dirty Shame. They should just walk around Seattle all wet like that for the rest of pride, hitting people on the head and turning them into sex addicts.
Those two at the top are enough to make me question my sexuality. Rowr!
What's/ Where's Quinns? Is it a bar?
I tend to do all my drinking alone in my basement.
wow nothing said PRIDE like copious amounts of alcoholics in the outdoors.
thanks - i think i'll keep my inebriation intake as catalina does - by myself in my own area where the clones aren't hanging out sneering at me for not looking like them...
every man just died inside from seeing those massive mammaries, on the first pic. Lucky lesbians.
Those are the kind of Lesbians that only exist in straight porn.
Hey! Those aren't T-shirts! What a rip-off!
Those are more like, um, wet, shredded wife-beaters barely containing spectacularly large - er, breasts.
Damn, I wish I was a Lesbian...
@13... beat me to it.
I love this city. mm.
Oh, Catalina, me too, and I don't even have a basement. Invite me over. I promise not to break anything.
As for the pictures, well, I have a very personal reaction to the sight of lovely young ladies, and I don't think it would be appropriate to share. I'm whimpering right now, if that's a clue.
I'm not gay and even I think those pics are hot.
Oh, and in case you didn't know, @2 for the lose.
I thought wet t-shirt contests were illegal at Seattle bars. That aside, the LUG with the jugs in pic one... I'll be in my office.
I'm sorry...was the attractive woman the one with the massive gut, or the one with the flapjacks?
Tattoos don't make it all better, girls.
@4 -- That's because there were only 12 people in there at the time...
(JTC whistles to self, waiting for Mr. Poe's death ray to strike)
brought to you by bud light.
Lesbians sure have white teeth.
Just sayin'.
God bless you, Kelly O. Even though I can't look at these while I'm at work, I appreciate it.
Is nice!

Organic Design and Classical Architecture:
A Chicago Story
Monday, April 16
6 p.m.
Free for ICAA members; Public $25 Buy tickets
Presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art – Chicago-Midwest Chapter
In his autobiography, Frank Lloyd Wright describes an offer from Daniel Burnham to send him to Paris for four years to acquire a Beaux Arts education. As fantastic as the idea of Frank Lloyd Wright at the French École may seem today, the intriguing question remains: what did Burnham see in the young Wright to prompt such a generous offer? This lecture will explore what points of contact existed between the organic ideal championed by Louis Sullivan and Wright and the classical tradition Burnham represented.
About the Speaker
Denis Doordan is a historian and professor of architecture and design at the University of Notre Dame. He co-edits Design Issues, recognized as one of the leading academic journals devoted to design studies. Doordan has authored a number of books and articles, such as the survey text Twentieth Century Architecture; he has also served as an exhibition consultant and contributed catalog essays for architecture and design exhibits organized by the Art Institute of Chicago, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, and more.

Hi there.
I'm having a problem with the search itself.
I have two dropdown fields that get their info from two taxonomies, and a imput text field.
for ex.: in the text field i write: "Chocolate" in the dropdown filters I select "London" (one of the taxonomies) knowing that "chocolate" shouldn't appear on "London". It gives me the result the same (but belonging to another taxonomy/filter option) instead of saying that there isn't any results.
Every time I write something in the text string, somehow the plugin ignores the taxonomies filter. How can I fix this?
Thank you so much in advance

Abstract: The analysis of the sales methods and prices of the highest quality timber (wood veneer, plywood and telecommunication poles) was based on the data obtained from the General Directorate of the State Forests covering the period 2005−2009. They were supplemented by the data on sales, prices and revenues from sales, auctions and submissions obtained from the Regional Directorates of the State Forests (RDSF) in: Szczecin, Poznań, Białystok, Krosno and Lublin. The results of the submission sales organized by the Krosno RDSF and auctions organized by the Poznań RDSF in 2005−2009 were also analysed. The analyses confirm that sales of the highest quality wood through auctions and submissions give the best economic results while ensuring the optimal use of the existing resource base. Both sales methods foster rational use of valuable wood and therefore should be adopted in other RDSFs. In the years 2005−2009, the difference (increase) between wood valuation and the derived income from the auction sales organized in the Poznań RDSF amounted to 39.6%. The difference (increase) between wood valuation and the derived income from the submission sales organized in the Krosno RDSF in the same period amounted to 80.1%. The maximum prices of wood veneer obtained through auctions and submissions are higher than the prices obtained via Internet sales. Among the WA1 assortments sold in Poland in the years 2005−2009, sycamore, maple, and cherry veneer reached the highest average price per cubic meter. Among the wood species from which veneer is produced, oak veneer is the most sold species. Among the WB1 assortments sold in Poland in the years 2005−2009, pine and spruce plywood reached the highest average price per cubic meter. The prices of birch, beech and alder plywood were lower and varied by a maximum of 6.7%. Among the species from which plywood is produced, birch plywood sells bests.
Key words: veneer, plywood, timber prices, timber sales, auctions, submission sales

Abstract: In the paper the long term dynamics (about 40 years) of selected, the most important, natural forest stands of the Białowieża Forest were presented. The studies were carried out on 120 permanent study plots, located both in nature reserves and in the Białowieża National Park. The DBH of all the trees were measured and the number of all the individuals trees and shrubs species with the height under 1,3 m was counted. The analysis of tree species composition and their density changes was carried out, as well as their natural regeneration was analyzed. The strong expansion of hornbeam were observed (fig. 1a, b; tab.). Actually this species was predominant in forest stands, in natural regeneration and was expansive to the more oligotrophic and mezotrophic forest stands, causing their unification towards hornbeam forest. Norway spruce generally declined in abundance and became limited to oligotrophic forest communities. Significantly reduction this species were observed, especially on the mixed coniferous forest at mixed deciduous forest stands. Scots pine, oak and birch declined their share in forest stands, as well as their natural regeneration have been limited too (tab.). In the short time of the last 15 years, the strong reduction of ash share in forest stands has been observed, and the more rapid changes in all the forest stands composition as well.
Key words: Białowieża National Park, natural stands, undergrowth, hornbeam expansion, spruce reduction

Abstract: The Sustainable Use Directive (2009/128/EC) establishes a framework for European Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides imposed restrictions in agro−aviation pesticides application. As a result of the creation of buffer zones, part of the endangered area must be excluded from spraying and the area will be fragmented. This article evaluated the impact of the size, shape and distance between the sprayed area and the aerodrome, on the efficiency and cost of agro−aviation spraying in Regional Directorate of the State Forests in Piła (western Poland) in 2013. The efficiency of agro−aviation spraying is highly positively correlated with the shape and size of sprayed area. Weak negative correlation was found with the distance between the sprayed area and the aerodrome. The obtained efficiency ranged from 23.37 to 198.98 ha/h, while the costs covered the span from 61.96 to 423.34 zł/ha. The structure of unit costs varied depending on the spraying parameters. The costs of aircraft charter and purchase of pesticides are dominating part of the whole process. Variability of the spraying costs causes that their averaging distorts the results and makes it difficult to plan the future costs.

Abstract: The study determines the optimal density of forest road network in order to minimize the costs of wood transportation, taking into account the current and future harvest range and timber export. The study was conducted on a group of 44 forest districts, representative of the current technical state and density of forest road network in the State Forests in Poland. Analysis of the state of the road network was carried out considering the type of the road surface and from the point of view of the density of the road network. In the studied forest districts unsurfaced roads constitute 75.3% of the total length of the roads. These roads are characterized by inadequate technical quality, and are practically unfit for high tonnage vehicles. The optimal density of the forest roads (qo) is determined based on knowledge of the predicted harvest volume (V), the cost of skidding 1 m³ for distances of 1 km (d), the expected life of the roads (n), the road construction cost (I) and the road maintenance cost (R) (formula [2]). Calculations were carried out for variant I (actual data), variant II (increase in one parameter, e.g. the harvest cost by 50%), variant III (increase in two parameters simultaneously, e.g. the harvest cost by 50% and the road construction cost by 10%) and variant IV (increase in two parameters on a larger scale, e.g. harvest costs by 80% and construction costs by 10%). In the variant I, the optimal density of the road network ranges from 4.4 to 9.3 m/ha, with the average value of 6.5 m/ha. Analyses in other variants indicated increase in the optimal density of road network with increased harvest costs. Increase in the cost of road construction reduces the optimal density of the road network, but this can be offset by the greater increase in the cost of harvest. The current density of forest surfaced road network in tested districts is 3.8 m/ha, while the optimal density in basic variant (without changing the costs of harvesting and road construction) is at 6.5 m/ha. Bringing the road network to the optimal state will require increase in the density of the road network of 2.7 m/ha, which means that the construction of an additional 2 119 km of roads in tested forest districts and about 10 times more in whole state forests in Poland.

Abstract: The determination of the actual volume of valuable wood assortments was based on wood quality assessment (grading) carried out in the selected forest stands, being the State Forests' primary method of allowable cut determination. The research covered pine, beech, oak, birch and alder stands and those with sycamore as an admixture species for which in 2009−2011 forest district staff prepared grading estimates and determined the actual level of cut. To estimate the share of valuable timber, three stands intended for final cutting were selected for each tree species. The research was conducted in 21 forest stands in three Regional Directorates of State Forests: Szczecin, Krosno and Lublin. The choice of the Szczecin and Krosno RDSFs was due to the fact of their having the largest (for many years) timber resources providing significant amounts of valuable timber, whereas the Lublin RDSF showed average amounts of valuable wood in Poland. On the example of the Storage Sites of the State Forests in Stargard Szczeciński, the amounts of valuable wood assortments resulting from the reclassification of the large−sized wood purchased from the forest districts were analyzed. The field verification of grading estimates carried out in the selected research areas pointed to a tendency of forest districts to underestimate the quality grades including the volume of valuable wood assortments while estimating the quality of standing trees. These estimates placed the volume of valuable wood assortments at: WA1 – 0.3% and WB1 – 5.3% compared to the verified volumes of: WA1 – 1.7% and WB1 – 5.8% in the total estimated wood volume. The accuracy of estimating the volume of valuable wood assortments can be increased by introducing amendments to the existing regulations governing the grading of standing trees as regards determining the actual length of the estimated valuable wood assortments. It is necessary to change the approach to grading by stating the actual volume of valuable wood assortments in the research areas. The storage sites continue to fulfil an important role by reclassifying the timber purchased from forest districts and making their commercial value more realistic. The storage sites contribute to the increasing of financial revenues from forest management and are the right place to conduct auctions and submission sales of valuable timber.

Abstract: This paper aimed to describe the level and nature of damages affecting standing trees and regeneration in spruce (Picea abies L.) stands of younger and medium age classes, growing on sloping terrain. The stands in question were subjected to early and late selective thinning using motor−manual technologies in cut−to−length (CTL PROCESOR technology) and tree−length system (TLS KRPAN technology). The research enclosed an estimation of damages that occurred while employing technologies with rarely encountered NIAB 5−15 and HYPRO 450 processors, and those engaging cable winches commonly used in Polish forests, such as KRPAN 8EH. The research was conducted in the Nowy Targ Forest District, situated within the Regional Directorate of the State Forests in Krakow, and the Wisła Forest District (RDSF in Katowice). During the field research eighteen rectangular sample plots were established (six plots per every device combined with a farm tractor). Within the sample plots, on the net of squares, circular areas (50 m 2 ) were delimited, where a preliminary inventory of trees and undercanopy regeneration was performed. After finishing timber harvesting, the second inventory was conducted, using computer software, regarding logging damages to standing trees and saplings in the regeneration layer. The field research and statistical analyses allowed to determine that employing the cable winch technology in logging operations resulted in wounding 2.3% of tress (1.2−6.2%). Whereas, thinning treatments engaging technologies with NIAB and HYPRO processors caused damages to, respectively, 5.9% and 11.0% of trees, counting in total 7.7% (3.1−22.2%). Moreover, the difference between the damage levels in these three technologies was proved to be significant (fig.). In respect of the wound extension, the injuries on trees damaged upon applying the TLS KRPAN technology were smaller than those emerged when the CTL PROCESOR technology was employed. However, these differences appeared to be statistically insignificant (tab. 2). Based on the analysis of the position of wounds on tree trunks, it was determined that the injuries caused by engaging both of the above−mentioned technologies were situated at nearly the same height (tab. 2). With regard to the regeneration, the share of wounded or damaged trees was slightly higher when compared with the cable winch technology (tab. 3). Still, the estimated values of damages related to the employed technologies remained at the same level (fig.). Commonly known susceptibility of spruce stands to infections caused by parasitic fungi (mostly of Armillaria and Heterobasidion genera), should oblige the entities engaged in timber harvesting (administrative bodies of the State Forests and service providers) to take all the necessary technological and technical measures to reduce the level of damages, firstly those affecting butt end zone and roots of trees.

Abstract: The article presents the effect of selected factors on the level of investment in private forest companies providing services to the State Forests in Poland. The scope of research included the characterization of private forest companies providing services to the State Forests and forestry enterprises, the factors affecting the level of investment in private forest companies and the relationships between those factors and the level of investment in private forest companies. The data on the financial performance of forest districts and on the extent of their tasks in the field of timber harvest were obtained from the General Directorate of State Forests, while the information in the field of competition in the forestry labour market was obtained from the materials made available by the Forest Research Institute. The data necessary to analyze the influence of selected factors on the level of investment in private forest companies were obtained through a questionnaire survey. The survey was carried out in 2006 and 2007 and concerned the current financial and investment situation (2004−2006) and the strategy for further action. From the companies participating in the survey in 2008, those were selected that showed the level of investment in excess of 5%. The survey included the decision−making process preceding the investment decision and investment plans of the companies. Nine external factors were subjected to statistical verification. They were related to the recipients of the services (forest districts), barriers to the introduction of modern technical resources, the situation on the labour market and competition on the forest services market. Among the factors of internal origin, there were 14 factors related to the financial potential of companies, the terms of corporate governance, technical resources and business strategy. For statistical verification of the factors, an indicator of the level of investment in private forest companies was developed. The effect of the examined factors on the level of investment in private forest companies was verified statistically. The analyzes were performed in SPSS. The presented research methodology for the analysis of factors influencing the level of investment in private forest companies providing services to the State Forests allowed answering the questions about the level and scope of the impact of individual external and internal factors, as well as formulating conclusions indicating the possibility of improving the situation in the forest services sector.

Abstract: Altering hydrological conditions of the Odra river pose a threat to the existing riverside vegetation. The aim of this paper was to analyze the changes of the selected riparian forests. The study was conducted in 2011 in the south−western part of Wołów Forest District (SW Poland). Two riparian forest habitats (Ficario Ulmetum−minoris association) were selected for the study: site I, directly adjacent to the old river bed, and site II, bordering site I on the edge of the floodplain and adjacent to the oak−hornbeam forest (Galio sylvatici−Carpinetum betuli association) that constituted site III. Within each site ten plots (10×10 m) were randomly selected and their reléves were taken. We analyzed species diversity and total vegetation cover estimated for four layers: canopy, undercanopy, shrub layer and understorey. The Tüxen and Ellenberg systematic value of species group for species characteristic for Alno−Ulmion and Carpinon betuli alliances were used to evaluate succession direction. Connections of species composition and type of forest community were supported by detrended canonical analysis (DCA). The greatest species abundance and plant density were recorded for the groundcover at site I. Both on site I and II, a tendency to reduce the share of hygrophytic species and expansion of mesophilic species (originating from adjacent oak−hornbeam forest habitats) were observed. An analysis of frequency of the taxa typical for Alno−Ulmion and Carpinion betuli alliances showed strong disturbances in the floristic composition on the edge of a floodplain (site II). However, basing on DCA ordination analysis, accounting for the share of all the species in the patches, a common taxonomic identity of both riparian sites was confirmed. The study indicates an unsatisfactory condition of the riparian forests in the area of Wołów, particularly on the edge of the floodplain. A gradual transformation of the riparian forests into oak−hornbeam forest will lead to the disappearance of these valuable plant associations.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to summarize actual data concerning recognition of trees as the monuments of nature in Poland. Recognizing the trees as monuments of nature and action taken for their protection should be made on the basis of clear and objectives criteria. The Act on the Protection of Nature does not contain any criteria for recognition as natural monuments for trees, their clusters (groups) and alleys. These deficiencies result in skipping certain natural objects, their groups or alleys, in favour to the others with other features, the most impressive size and good state of health. The main impetus for conferring protection was the most impressive tree size, especially thickness (circumference) of the trunk. The proposed minimum circuits to be protected candidate – a specimen tree for protection as a natural monument, are slightly different from the proposals of other authors. In contrast to previous proposals dimensional for the trees – candidates for natural monuments, calculations are based on statistical averages of monumental trees circuits protected monumental yet. From the data shows that in some cases the minimum circumference should be slightly higher (eg. oak), and for some species proposed for protection monumental lower than recommended in the past (eg. European beech, Scots pine). The paper proposes a minimum circuits constituting the initial criterion in the concept of establishing monuments of nature – trees. This proposes of circuits are minimum initial criteria for establishing trees – monuments of nature. It is believed that the proposed minimum dimensions for the recognition of trees as monuments of nature have a positive impact when deciding on the recognition of successive of living creations of nature. Analyses will fill a gap in the notes on the dimensions of monumental trees on the ground, in the field, as the initial criterion in establishing trees – monuments of nature.

Abstract: Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) is a common species in cities. It can also be found as an extra species among the tree stand of municipal forests, which are dominated by other species. It is often planted in urban parks, open landscape, buffer strips, because this tree is resistant to most pollutants of anthropogenic origin. However, it is potentially sensitive to salinity and the accumulated effect of SOx , NOxand dust containing heavy metals. It is necessary to note that maple is a significant species to the development of urban open space. The aim of the study was to investigate the condition of A. platanoides in the municipal forests and non−historic parks of Poznań (western Poland) and to check which environmental variables have the influence on the health status of the trees. The research comprised the municipal forests (3) and non−historic parks (6) in the city and was conducted from 2010 to 2013. Field analyses concerned detailed inventory of trees and the determination of the state of health of each specimen. The data acquired in the study enabled the construction of CVA models. The maples in the municipal forests in Poznań were characterised by a higher health status than the specimens in urban parks. The research also revealed that such environmental variables as proximity to industrial centres and main thoroughfares had the greatest influence on the health status of the analysed trees. The investigated maples which grew in the parks located in the districts heated with fossil fuels proved to be of significantly worse health. As far as age is concerned, the specimens aged between 41 and 70 years were in the best condition.

Abstract: The increased content of trace elements in the environment is one of the major factors determining hazard for humans, animals and plants. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the total content of mercury forms in the surface horizons of the forest soils exposed to the effect of road traffic pollution in a close vicinity of provincial road #223 between Bydgoszcz and Białe Błota (N Poland). The study involved 12 measurement points 25 meters away from the road, in the afforested land. The research material was sampled from two soil horizons: 5−20 cm and 20−50 cm in depth. The total mercury content was assayed using the AMA−254 analyser. The soil samples showed light grain size composition, with loamy sand dominating. There was a small range of variation in the content of clay fraction from 0.75 to 1.96% as well as silt fraction from 9.35 to 22.11%. The soil reaction was acid and it ranged from 3.9 to 5.2 pH in H 2 O as well as from 3.6 to 4.6 pH in 1 M KCl. The organic carbon content ranged from 0.6 to 17.2 g/kg. The results showed that there was no mercury contamination. The determined concentrations of mercury were close to the geochemical background level. The total content of the mercury in the soil samples from the humus horizons (5−20 cm) ranged from 55.01 to 117,52 µg/kg, while from the eluvial horizons (20−50 cm) from 21.61 to 102.17 µg/kg. We found a decrease in the total mercury content with soil depth. The soil samples analysed can be considered unpolluted with that metal. The close vicinity of the road transport route does not have a considerable effect on the content of the element. The clay fraction and the content of organic carbon does not play a significant role in binding mercury in the analysed soils.

Abstract: Forests in urban communes are important landscape, natural and environmental elements. In accordance with the sustainable development concept, one has to demonstrate the care of this element of urban area. Local authorities which become an important factor in the process of land deforestation play a significant role in this issue. Having obtained adequate permissions, local authorities have to work out a land−use plan that legitimizes land deforestation. The article presents which communes have changed forest areas to the forest−free areas in their land−use plans. The research concerns Polish cities that have an administrative−legal status of urban communes. Detailed objective included the assessment of the forest land loss indicator that shows the fraction of forest land to be deforested in land−use plans with reference to the total forest land area recorded in a commune in 2012. The data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland, concerning land−use plans, deliver information about changes in the status of farm land and land deforestation. Because of the indicator development, it was possible to assess how local authorities influence the changes in forest land information sources. 43% of Polish urban communes have records indicating the necessity of deforesting the forest lands in their land−use plans. Taking into consideration the forest land loss indicator, it has to be indicated that less than 10% of urban communes were above its average value. In this group there were cities, which considerably changed their forest land area located within their administrative borders. Those communes assumed deforestation of at least 20% of forest land. This group included seven cities that constituted 23% of the researched group and less than 2.3% of all the urban communes in 2012. The research enabled to identify the urban units that considerably influence forest land. An additional conclusion is the fact that local authorities only in few cases decide to considerably decrease the forest land in their sources, bearing in mind the consequences of such changes.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to estimate perception of the value of the Wielkopolski National Park (WPN) among different groups of people living in Poznań agglomeration (western Poland). The study was based on questionnaires conducted in the year 2012. Analyses were carried out on the basis of 1350 records. The questionnaire included questions about general relation towards WPN, about the willingness of respondents to pay the costs to the environment and questions characterizing respondents socio−econimically. The results of the survey were subjected to canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study showed that the relation with the natural environment is very different among various groups of society. The use of different analytical tools in relation to the survey data allowed the quantification of this diversity. Analyses showed a relationship between the financial status of the respondents and their relationship to nature conservation (p<0.01). The more wealthy people declared willingness to support WPN financially, but in turn, they did not want to engage themselves into activity involving their own work. The poorer less willingly declared financial support, but they were keen of the possibility of taking their time to engage in work for WPN. Analyses revealed that a group of the poorest as well as the richest did not indicate the interest in any form of WNP support.

Abstract: Forest land administered by the State Forests, National Forest Holding is sometimes used for non−forest purposes, i.e. for recreation centres, hotel service facilities or for public roads. Some of this land is developed with buildings or facilities constructed by tenants and is used by them. The paper describes the problem of evaluating the legal status of such land with regard to the ownership, Land and Property Register data, permitted use in the local plan and exclusion of the land from forest use. The case study is based on the example of the Elemis Recreation Centre located in Stare Jabłonki, Ostróda commune, whose land is administered by the Stare Jabłonki Forest District. The performed analysis defined actions leading to the organising of the legal status of such facilities. These actions include: separation of plots with different types of use, ordering the status of the register by updating the type of use, exclusion of the forest land from production, updating the local zoning plan, land development legalization.

Abstract: The paper reviews the current knowledge about the genetic variation, glacial and postglacial history of Polish populations of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.). This species occurs in the mountainous forests of central and southern Europe, from the Pyrenees up to the Balkans, where it is important from both ecological and economical points of view. The current knowledge about glacial and postglacial history of fir has been obtained from palynological and genetic studies. During the last ice age A. alba survived in the refugia in southern Europe, the central Apennines, the south of the Balkan Peninsula and the Central Massif in France. Two other refugia remained isolated – one in Calabria in the south of the Apennines and one in the Pyrenees. Furthermore the most likely routes of postglacial recolonization of silver fir as well as the introgression zone between them have been identified. In Poland, silver fir reaches the north−eastern border of its natural range. Several earlier studies based on isozymes and DNA markers (mitochondrial and chloroplast) have reported that the Polish populations of fir are characterized by lower levels of genetic variation within populations and higher genetic differentiation between them than other coniferous species. Fir probably migrated to Poland from two glacial refugia located in the Balkan and Apennines Peninsula. Notwithstanding, a recent study on Polish silver fir populations carried out with mtDNA marker, strictly maternally inherited, indicated that the species migrated to the Polish territory from the refugium in western Europe. However, this study did not take into account the possibility of participation of pollen pool of Balkan origin in the formation of the Polish populations of fir. Until now, there have been only a few reports concerning the gene pool of fir in Poland. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the knowledge about its genetic variation. In the course of several episodes of silver fir decline during the past century, its populations have decreased in size and currently are scattered throughout the entire European range. Reliable information on the distribution of genetic variation is a prerequisite for proper management of forest genetic resources in a short−term and long−term perspective. The recognition of the existing genetic diversity is also the preliminary phase in development of an effective strategy for conservation of forest tree species gene pools.
