Lucky cat!
** UPDATE: May 22nd, 2011 – Lucky has been successfully adopted! **
Dear All,
Please see posting below. I would appreciate it if you could please forward this to your circle of friends so we can at least find a foster home for Lucky instead of being couped up in a cage. He needs to be with a family that will give him the loving treatment he deserves!
Thank you!
Marvin (JAR)
* rescuers words:
Dear Friends,
Last week, I rescued the cat below from under a guy's foot. He was going to be stepped on for fun! So we named him Lucky ( Niki calls him Step). We have already taken him to the vet, given him shots, and sterilized him. He is less than 1 year old and the nicest cat I have ever rescued. We are so tempted to take him ourselves but cannot as we already have 2 cats.
Is anyone interested in adopting him? He is great with kids.
See attached pictures below!

So what?
Does anyone out there think that these Liberals are going away any time soon? Did we win?
Absolutely not.
This country, all of it, still belongs to the Liberals. Nothing has changed that. Not the federal majority in both houses. Not our advances provincially, such as they were. Not our victories at the municipal level. Not the establishment of Sun News. Not the dominance in fundraising. Not even the fact that Conservatives seem to be on the rise worldwide. None of that matters.
For you see, I talk to Liberals. And they remain hopeful. Hopeful that good, as they put it, will triumph over evil in the end. All of their misfortune is just a setback. All of our gains are just a bad dream that will end soon.
When I can open a newspaper and see ridiculous, unfounded rumours about leadership challenges to Tim Hudak reported on as if they are fact (and remember, this is a guy who did just take a piece of Dalton's rear end, something nobody else has accomplished in recent memory)....
.....or when, a day before Brad Wall wipes the floor with the NDP, I read about how Harper's decision to dismantle the Wheat Board might hurt the Saskatchewan Party's hopes, and then, after Wall is done wiping the floor with the NDP, there is not even an acknowledgement of how wrong they were.....
....or when people -any people- refuse to take the CBC to task over this ridiculous, ridiculous situation with Rob Ford......
....or when Margaret Wente points out that the Occupy protesters are overeducated, irresponsible adult children who put the cart before the horse in a big way, expecting to graduate into a world that would shower them with neverending praise, and the next day there are letters taking her to task for being too harsh on single mothers.....
.....or when anyone gives a toss about what Bob Rae has to say on any subject, given that he is a carpetbagging, limelight-seeking opportunist of the first order (and that is something not even the Liberals I talk to try to deny).....then I have to conclude that the Liberals, deluded as they unquestionably are, still have reason to hope.
Compare their state of mind, if you will, to ours. I- we- are currently engaged in soul-searching, debating, deliberating, pondering, on what our next tack will be. We actively fear losing what we've gained while the Liberals look at their troubles as just a down period that they'll bounce back from. That's why we are so reluctant to criticize Conservative leaders who do the wrong thing. I don't like that tendency, but I understand it.
I understand it because the battle between us and them has never been a war between equals. Central to Liberal electoral success is the Heritage Moment illusion of the quiet northern nation, governed by the sane, sage practitioners of the golden mean, where we peacefully play hockey on frozen ponds, are kind to our neighbours, are proud of our healthcare system, dutifully watch the CBC and read Canadian novels, and settle our differences without getting emotional. And we Conservatives, who believe people are naturally selfish and self-interested, are an affront to that. We don't have anything as soothing as the Heritage Moment illusion. All we have are hard truths.
Aye, Mr. Liberal Voter. Why don't ye jes' REEEAD it, then?
Nobody likes having their illusions challenged. But challenge them we must. And if the economy craters, or the Liberal abuse of trust becomes so massive that it cannot be rationalized a la Adscam, then the illusion will disappear and we will have an opportunity to take this province back.

Roman Shades From $3 Mini Blinds October 8, 2013
These beauties were made so simply by using fabric, fabric glue and an inexpensive mini blind form Home Depot. I combined several directions to create these NO SEW roman shades. I made two for my windows on my stairway. The hardest part was waiting for the glue to dry! I am planning to make more for my kitchen and promise to take photos every step of the way and give my easy directions. Designer look for pennies!!!!!!

Dining Room Before February 19, 2013
This is my dining room before I decided to paint it. I got it for a steal when I moved into my house almost six years ago. Back then I was trying to decorate in a more neutral Pottery Barn fashion, but lately I have been realizing that the look just isn't me. My previous home, an apartment, was decorated in a more shabby chic style which I loved. After listening to so many people tell me that "they did not picture my home this way" I started to question my own taste. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! I am going back to what I love and what makes me happy. It will be a long road, but I will get there!
The Big Reveal
Finally done!!!!!! I am so much happier and the room looks so much lighter! I think the hardest part of this redo was the fact that I had to work indoors. It seems I always pick the worst times to do things, but they do get done!!!! Now I have to start looking for some chair pads or make them myself. The problem I have had with chair pads in the past is my dogs thinking they are chew toys!!!!! Hopefully they will have outgrown this by now!!!!! I doubt it…..pillows, slippers, dog beds are all fair game for them!!!! Picasso seems to have snuck into this shot….ooops!

For Immediate Release
Brian Willis, 202.675.2386, firstname.lastname@example.com
Scott Pruitt is Trying to Sell the Safety of Our Water to Industrial Polluters
WASHINGTON - Yesterday evening, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt proposed weakening vital clean water protections against toxic coal ash. His proposal clears the way for polluters, and polluter funded politicians to write weak standards for groundwater monitoring and coal ash cleanups, and attack the core health and environmental protections of the 2015 coal ash safeguards.
Pruitt's proposals would replace science-based federal requirements that would fairly and consistently address water quality issues nationwide with a patchwork of state-by-state requirements that can easily be influenced by polluter interests. The federal requirements were put in place because state regulators hadn't implemented adequate water protections against coal ash in decades, which contributed to catastrophic coal ash spills in places like the Dan River in North Carolina and Kingston, Tennessee.
In response, Mary Anne Hitt, Director of Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign, released the following statement:
"Scott Pruitt is again trying to sell our safety to industrial polluters who funded his boss' campaign, and this time it is by weakening science-based clean water protections against toxic coal ash. Coal ash is a dangerous substance laced with mercury and other nasty toxins that can cause serious harm to children, making it one of the leading reasons why communities across the United States have banded together to retire more than half of our country's coal plants.
"Pruitt's proposals not only open the door for polluters to determine the extent, timing, and quality of monitoring and clean up of their noxious coal ash, but also curtail local residents' ability to hold them accountable. The federal protections these proposals are meant to weaken were modest, science-based procedures that would have encouraged communities to monitor coal ash sites, while also providing federal oversight for state regulators who might be swayed by political pressures. Pruitt's proposals are as ridiculous as they are dangerous, and we will fight this polluter power grab with all our resources."

Nothing will be different for students now enrolled when the fall semester starts Aug. 28. But changes to majors and programs for prospective students are on the way.
When speaking about changes coming to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, its president, H. Fred Walker, will often liken the institution to a grocery store.
"This is like refreshing the inventory," he said in an interview in late July. "When programs get stale, they need to be refreshed or replaced."
Walker said that though people do not often associate higher education institutions with change, it is a "healthy" part of any operation.
And change is on the way.
The fall semester starts Aug. 28, but announcements about the university's future could come as early as this week, with more being made throughout the semester.
"We will release what we've been hearing from all of our constituent groups," Walker said, referencing a review process, started in January, that looked into university operations, finances and academic programs.
Those now enrolled need not be concerned. Their programs will go on uninterrupted.
"They will not be delayed in terms of their graduation," Walker said. "And they will not need to go to another school to finish degrees."
But in two years, it is likely that prospective students will not have the same programs to choose from that are now available. The idea is to have future programming that is more closely aligned with students' interests and the economy.
"We are going to focus on putting people into the economy," Walker said. "That is our mission as a public regional comprehensive university."
Walker would not disclose which academic majors and programs are on the chopping block, or what new programs are coming to the university, but he identified four new areas that the university will prioritize going forward: arts and digital entertainment; business, applied science and professional programming; education, with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math; and social and mental health services.
Like many universities nationwide, Edinboro faces decreasing enrollment and tuition dollars, changing demographics, increasing student debt, a minority of students graduating in four years, and other challenges that need to be addressed so the university remains a viable option for students seeking a higher education degree.
Already the university has taken steps to streamline its operations, including restructuring at the administrative level.
Walker said the university has found ways to do its work without filling some vacant management positions. It has also made marketing part of its enrollment management. And the university has sought to combine student affairs and academic affairs, which Walker said are inseparable.
Further changes have yet to be announced. In March, Walker raised the possibility of job cuts. Asked about it recently, Walker would not say if the university is going to eliminate positions.
"We have got to be smart about what we're doing," he said. "At the end of the day, our revenues have to balance with our expenses."
But Walker has taken issue with characterizations that the university is in dire financial trouble. He said the institution has been proactive in strategizing for the future, even before a report, released in mid-July, made recommendations to the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education on how to help ensure the survival of Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities.
"We unfairly got mapped into a group of struggling universities," Walker said. "We've got better than $30 million in reserves to invest in some strategic initiatives."
The report, conducted by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems, based in Colorado, recommended against closing or merging schools, and was critical of state system governance, funding, oversight and university support.
Walker said nothing in the report surprised him.
"They identified a very consistent set of issues that affects everybody across the university system," he said.
A comprehensive analysis of Edinboro's program offerings is ongoing, and is expected to be finished completed near the end August, Walker said.
"We've got a find a way to reinvent a lot of what we're doing," he said.

Nothing fancy, but we really like it and haven't had it in AGES!
1-2 lbs. chicken
2 sub rolls (is that what they're called?!)
sliced tomatoes
chopped green chilies
shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper
I grill my chicken on our George Forman with some salt and pepper. Put mayo as desired on open-faced roll. Put chicken then cheese on. Broil on top rack at 250 just until the cheese melts and edges of roll are browning. Then add sliced tomatoes, green chilies, and more salt and pepper to taste.

Well, I was listening to the Beatles tonight. . . .
It seems as though you come back to school and they forgot to take their foot off the gas pedal. . . This week has been so up and down for me!
Show choir started bright and early Monday morning, and that was after a 12 hr driving spree back from Tx. What was I doing in Texas you ask? Well, check this out, then come back.
P.S. It was a ton of fun! You have no idea!
Then Tuesday was a Jazz band morning. Whew, at this point I realized what I forgot to remember; school = little sleep. Great.
Wednesday was another show choir morning, and I spent that night spending 3 hours on 12 Algebra 2 problems. Wow, math is so hard for me. You all have no idea. Seriously. It involves crying.
Because of my late night, this morning involved waking up at 7:10. Yay! NOT!! Jazz band starts at 7:00. Do the math (ha ha, obviously I can't) but I was late. I put the pedal past the metal and got there at about 7:25. However, that isn't my record. I've done it in 10 minutes once before, last year. I do not like to be late for anything, so this usually only happens once a year. Thankfully!
Tomorrow. . . Is Friday! Another early show choir day, but at 5 that night, I am going on a church retreat. It will be a good 2 day escape!
What am I not doing right now?
National History day research/ work. I need to find time . . . SOON!
Hanging out with my family. This makes me sad. For the past 3 days, they've sat down and played Blokus, Skip-Bo, and Bananagrams! (We got Bananagrams Aunt Dee!!) I have just had to sit there and do my Algebra 2. I know it comes with he High School territory, but it wouldn't be so bad if I was only spending that time doing math.
Packing for the retreat. I have washed clothes, but that's all.
Sleeping! Go figure. I should go to bed now. I have nothing else to do.
Good night! Sorry for being wordy!

Glad you made it home safely and we are very glad y'all had a great time in Texas. It was as much fun to plan and implement.ReplyDelete
YAY! You got Bananagrams! I knew it wouldn't be long before you had it. Now I just need to find somebody to play it with me here...I must find the rules for the Bananagrams Solitaire.
Keep up with your schoolwork. I can't help with your homework, but maybe Karl could be of some assistance....I like volunteering him for stuff like this :-)
Have fun on your retreat...maybe you'll get some sleep. Probably not..but you will have to crash and burn sometime. I can't believe you didn't get all your sleep in on the 12 hour road trip!?!

1. This is an application for revision by the defendants in a suit the Union of India representing the Central and Northern Railway Administrations.
2. The non-applicant (plaintiff) firm had consigned to themselves 381 kattas of gur from Meerut to Itwari Station, Nagpur. When delivery was asked, the Railway delivered only 361 kattas and was unable to deliver the balance of 20 kattas of gur. This was on 8-1-1954. The plaintiff then served the usual notices and filed the suit on 3-3-1955. The trial Court passed a decree against the defendants for Rs. 440/- and costs.
3. The trial Court came to the conclusion that the non-delivery was due to negligence and misconduct on the part of the servants of the Northern and Central Railways. This finding was not challenged before me. But on behalf of the Railways Mr. Bhave has urged two points. His first point was that the Railway Administrations managed to find the missing consignment of 20 kattas and therefore made an offer to the plaintiff to deliver the goods in specie on 25-3-1955. According to counsel, the plaintiff was bound to accept this offer and even though the goods may be in a damaged condition the only remedy of the plaintiff, was to sue the Railway Administration for damage to the goods but not for non-delivery. He relies upon two cases of the Nagpur High Court, which are: Fazalbhai v. Dominion of India AIR 1951 Nag 245 ; and Jusaf and Ismail Co. v. Governor-General .
4. No doubt, these cases are authorities for the proposition that if delivery of consignment is offered to the consignee, in whatever condition the goods may be, the consignee must take delivery though he may give notice to the Administration of the condition of the goods and then sue the railway for damages. The principle itself was adopted by my learned Brother Mudholkar J., in the first of the two cases mentioned above with some hesitation, and at page 247, column 2 of the A.I.R. report, the learned Judge observed:
'I can find no direct authority in support of what I say, but the following observations in Hiort v. L. & N.W. Rly. Co. (1879) 4 Ex D 188 , lend support to my view.' Then he quoted the observations of Bramwell L. J., that
'A return of the goods undoubtedly might be shown to reduce the damages in the case of a conversion, not only where the owner voluntarily received back the goods but where he took them back against his will.'
In other words, the principle was derived from the right of the defendant in a suit to show that the damages have in fact been mitigated. I do not see how that principle can be extended to a case where the cause of action accruing to a plaintiff has once been put in Court. In the present case the offer was made pending the plaintiff's suit and the result of the acceptance of the offer could only have been that the plaintiff's right to carry ,on the suit would have been defeated. As I said, the principle itself, as acumbrated in the two rulings cited above, was a principle which normally one would hesitate to accept. I see no justification for extending the application of that principle to a case where the rights of the parties have been taken out of the domain of the contract and become the subject-matter of a litigation. I therefore hold that though ordinarily the plaintiff cannot refuse to accept delivery even if the goods are damaged, he need not accept an offer after he has once filed a suit for damages for non-delivery.
5. The other contention on behalf of the applicants has been that in view of the newly added Section 74-C of the Railways Act it must be presumed that the goods were goods consigned at owner's risk in the absence of allegations and proof to the contrary by the plaintiff. In this respect counsel for the applicants urged that the burden was upon the plaintiff to allege and prove that a rate other than the owner's rate was agreed; otherwise it must be presumed that it was the owner's risk rate. Assuming that this contention is correct, I do not see how in the present case the contention can be availed of by the Administration to defeat the plaintiff's suit because of the provisions of Section 74-C (3) which expressly provides that-
'When any animals or goods are carried or are deemed to be carried at owner's risk rate, a railway administration shall not be responsible for any loss, destruction or deterioration of or damage to such goods from any cause whatsoever except upon proof that such loss, destruction, deterioration or damage was due to negligence or misconduct on the part of the Railway Administration or of any of its servants.'
That was precisely what was found in the present case. The trial Court found upon the facts that the loss was due to the negligence or misconduct on the part of the Railway Administrations and therefore it was immaterial whether the goods were sent at owner's risk rate or at any higher rate under any other risk-note terms. In my view, the decision of the Court below was correct.
6. The application for revision is dismissed with costs.
7. Application dismissed.

If you guys look at everyones reaction to a patch finally being released and cz arrow showering hacking dead for the moment . You will see that most people do not even mind fact that Kox.p is a leveling plugin , you'll find most people refering to kox.p as Cz arrow shower hackers . I'm sorry to say that shit but its true and the makers of kox.p are true when they say kox.p is designed to help players level "super plugin" or we . Alot of you people are probly hating me for saying this stuff but its true kox.p maker has made kox.p crack protection stronger the past two times it was cracked i expect nothing less for this patch . They really never intend for this stuff to happen and the whole "they release it with attack enemy enabled once its cracked so k2 will patch it" that is not true 100 % sure it may happen but the percentage of people who use kox.p are people using the cracked version . Once the cracked version is released this is when k2 will feel the pressure to patch and it happens . Clearly this new staff decided to take another path at this and if they infact stop koxp with a ban like system similiar to wat they did to actool breifly before they dumped punkbuster , then kudos to k2 staff . Unfortanetly i do not see this happening i have a good feeling there ban system will be similiar to the past it will be bypass by kox.p maker and will fail .
Honestly tho at this point in ROFD no one has a problem with people leveling with kox.p as long as there not bugging like the exp bug . Think bout it until cz arrow shower hacking came no one was taking ss's of macro's lvling no one cared cz arrow shower was jus a wake up call for u all to notice that your slippin.
I'm sorry to say all this but its true

O'Neill off...
Well...who'da thunk it: the best thing about Brum 1 and they let him go...and we know why. As Paul Hayward writes, they have managed to drive away their most important asset: the guy has worked wonders (a trait he seems to have) and the stupid twats just kept kicking him in the balls (player after player sold). He was the best thing they had...the Aston Martin. One Villa went to Barcelona the other will now head south: not sure they'll finish anywhere near 6th this season.
P.S. O'Neill is the one guy I could "accept" replacing The Professor...if he decided to go.

He's an overrated media luvvie in my opinion. Nice bloke but tactically naive. Aston Villa lost 7-1 at Chelsea at the end of last season, is that progress?
They've not moved on from the O'Leary years and he doesn't seem to know who his best players are and where they should play. Never came to terms with the fact that the EPL is not the SPL and couldn't beat any of their rivals for the Champions League on a regular basis. Plus anybody who thinks Marlon Harewood and Nigel Reo Coker and Nickey Shorey will lead you to European glory is clearly missing something.
I like him as a pundit and he's a very honest guy but he's no Premiership manager.
I was going to post about this before going away but RSS alerted me to your post. (You ain't seen me, right?)

Mr Pat McCann, Chief Executive, Jurys Doyle Hotel Group plc, said:

This ensures that we are not over exposed in any one geographic or segmental market.
p>Our three hotels in Washington DC performed very well, contributing 12% of Group profits. In the UK we had a very active year. In line with our corporate strategy, we expanded our inns brands in headline cities with strong year round trade.

The cruise was nice, but comparing it was not as nice as the cruise I took before (CARNIVAL). I loved the types of activities offered and the closing show. However I did not like the fact that the staterooms were so small. We actually paid more for one of their larger rooms, but it was still smaller that the room we had on CARNIVAL. We also were not allowed to bring our own alcohol on board.

So, today was a fairly boring day. No really, it was. The summer is slowly ( actually more like quickly) coming to an end, and with less than two weeks to go till school starts I am both annoyed, scared and excited. I'm annoyed, because I definetely didn't get to accomplish everything I planned this summer. Sure I visited a gorgeous island, spend time with my best friend, friends, tanned (obviously not enough-or it just faded away quickly), shopped and had fun. But nothing TOO EXCITING or dramatic happened. And isn't that what summer is all about? I am scared because our admissions offices at school has once again messed up my schedule, and given me the completely wrong courses, I'm hoping with classes with at least some of my friends, and I am not looking forward to the homework load. Lastly, I am excited beyond belief to see the friends I didn't have a chance to write into my busy summer or simply due to the fact that both our schedules didn't meet. I am also excited for the premiere of Gossip Girl, and for another preppy year in my life. I am NOT excited to see how many incoming freshmen decide to incorporate the "Hi, I am a Blair Waldorf wannabe" look. Oh well, they'll learn their own fashion sense eventually." I am also very excited to be starting dance again, after quitting on a whim in late May. I quit- because I couldn't take the pressure anymore, or maybe I just got tired of doing nothing but school, dance, school, dance. Who knows, but either way I am going back. The perk to this, is not only am I going to be going back to dance outside of school; but I am also taking a dance course IN SCHOOL. Fantastic, right? All these thoughts about dance, have caused me to buy new jazz shoes and new ballet shoes, even though my old ones were in perfect condition. Oh well, one can never have too many.....
I am also in love with the candy coloured dance Body suits that are sold at H&M. They are organic, and for the lovely price of around $30, won't make me guilty for buying two. Mental note to self- add to shopping list.
Follow the link above, if you want to check out the lovely bodysuit yourself :).
I am also loving the look of "above the knee, high waist" black skirts for fall. Add some tights, a cute pair of mary-janes ( the only pair of shoes that are non-heel that I can force myself to wear) OR a pair of heels, and you've got the ultimate preppy, and keep yourself cozy look. However, I am strongly doubting anyone would understand what I was wearing -in a school where TNA sweatpants and LULU yoga pants are all the rage. Well, I shouldn't be lying to you- I wear my occassional ( okay not so occasional ) pair of lulu pants myself. What's a girl gotta do, when she has tons of homework, is deprived of sleep and that cozy spot against the wall on the floor amongst her best friends is looking very great, but skirt un-friendly? I should definetely be getting bonus points for braving it up in heels though. Yes, bonus points for moi!
Aldoshoes has a new fall collection, that is simple but cute, and would fit into just about anyone's wardrobe. Feel free to check out aldoshoes.com online or visit one of their retail shops.
I can see the sun setting....and it's very disappointing. Why must summer only be 2 months long!?

Preparation is often the best deterrent. Nice job!
Thread: Introduced a friend
To OC yesterday. We went fishing, and he brought along a couple of glocks, in case we got tired of fishing. Well I informed him that he could indeed keep a loaded pistol in his vehicle, and explained the rules about it. Then I also informed him that he could OC while fishing, and we decided it a good idea, it may have prevented us from being rolled by a couple of amigos at the fishing hole, as soon as we pulled up, they hopped on their quads to come investigate, rode by a couple of times and checked us up and down, and never returned...
Preparation is often the best deterrent. Nice job!

Saving Forests One Tree at a Time
New America Media, Q&A, Mary Ambrose Posted: Oct 05, 2008
Editor's note: Laurie Wayburn recently won two major awards for her leadership in forest conservation: one from the James Irvine Foundation and the other from the Land Trust Alliance. She has been conserving forests in California since she and Constance Best founded the Pacific Forest Trust in 1993, long before anyone talked about the pivotal role of forests in stabilizing our global climate. Mary Ambrose interviewed her on NAMs radio program New America Now. This is a transcription of that interview.
NAM: What percentage of forests are owned privately?
In the U.S. almost two thirds of our forests are privately owned.
If we want our forests to provide us with water (75-85 percent of of our water comes out of forests), to be habitats for fish and wildlife, as places of recreation, we need to focus on private forest lands just as much as public forest lands.
Because private forest landowners earn their livings from their forest, we need to work with the market, providing economic return [is] a key tool in preserving those forests.
NAM: Describe the model you created.
What the public wants from forests is clean water, clean air, beautiful spaces, places to walk and take their children and grandchildren. But what we pay forest land owners for is turning their land into shopping malls, and cutting their forests as fast as they can so we pay them for what they have cut as quickly as possible.
What we've been paying them for and what we really value have been completely at odds. Our focus in founding the Pacific Forest Trust was to find ways to build financial markets for conserving and restoring forests. Conservation easement [is] a legal tool that allows a land owner to dedicate their land as forest land, giving up the rights to developing it and also limiting how it is managed.
Conservation easement is like buying a deed of property, [but] when you buy property normally you buy positive rights on it; to build a house, cut the timber, graze cattle. When you buy a conservation easement, you buy the right to prohibit subdivision, prohibit or limit development.
NAM: So you tell the private forest land owner, give us, say twenty percent of your land, under this cessation of development, then you can do whatever you want with the eighty percent?
Very much like that. Prior to our work, there were 2 models of conservation easements: Prohibit everything and call it a 'forever wild space', or prohibit development but allow any other kind of usage. In forests, 'allowing any other kind of usage' could actually, be very damaging, so we created a new form of easement to guide forest management to focus on sustainability, allowing the harvest of timber, but limiting it.
The second tool was finding ways to pay landowners for other services the forest provided that they don't get paid for; amongst those the biggest was their role in stabilizing climate. Forests absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. Yet, we don't pay landowners for that service, in fact what we pay them for is stopping that service, for cutting those forests down and turning them into development.
The second largest cause of excess CO2 in the atmosphere today that is the loss and the depletion or degradation of forest.
This was a huge opportunity. If we could create a market to pay landowners to restore forests and to keep them as forests we would be creating a huge service in combating climate change because we could reabsorb CO2 and prevent it's release. And we could make it absolutely financially competitive for landowners to keep their forests as opposed to selling them for development or cutting them as fast as possible.
NAM: What about old forests?
We have very few old forests in the United States and very few indeed in private hands. There's probably .0005 percent in private hands.
Our forests are younger than they would be naturally. When Europeans came to California, the average age of redwood forests was over two hundred years. Ten to 15 percent were one hundred to two hundred. Today it's the exact opposite. Eighty percent of them are under 100 years of age and we are lucky if 10 percent are over a hundred and only in National and State parks is there anything over 200 hundred years old. Those forests, on average, held 20 times the amount of carbon that we have today.
NAM: How do you maintain an old forest and harvest it?
But, we don't have those old forests, so we have a lot of work to get from A to B. Again the simple analogy would be in banking. So, our forests might be on average in the 30 year-old range and what we want to do is move them back up to the 80 year-old range and the 100 year-old range.
So, instead of every 30 years cutting them down to zero, we stagger how we harvest them, so that you continue to harvest out of your landscape of 30 year old trees, you harvest some of them at 31, some at 32, some at 33. And on average over time you'll start to have 40, 50 and 60 year old forests.
As a landowner you know that your forest at sixty will have at least double the amount of timber that it had at thirty. How do you weigh that time? That's where the power of [the] market comes in, because you are rebuilding the amount of carbon stored in those forests as well as building the amount of timber inventory as you harvest them gradually over time.
You have more carbon taken out of the atmosphere than would otherwise happen and you can be paid for that. With AB32 landowners can be paid for the time to re-grow and restore their forests.
AB32 is an absolutely landmark law. California is the first in the nation to limit the amount of greenhouse gasses that we emit, as a state, into the atmosphere. We put a cap on the amount of greenhouse gas that can be emitted and we identified a timetable by which that cap would be put into place.
Under this legislation they identified that there was a planning process leading up to when regulations would really hit in the year 2012. 2008 to 2012 is an early action and planning period. I'm very pleased that the state has acknowledged the role of forests in leading the cap and the role of forests. We have had significant success in the state recognizing the role of forests and embracing it as a very powerful tool.
Frankly, California is the first globally to have a standardized, state backed system, whereby forest landowners can play a constructive role and forests are intimately integrated in how we meet this climate challenge.
In founding the Pacific Forest Trust a key goal was for us to recognize that forests are so important to peoples livelihoods, the people who live in those forests, the people who work in those forests, the people who derive income from those forests as well as the people who get their water and their recreation and their wildlife experiences there, and meshing those things together, to transform conservation from being a passive and legacy experience to be an active experience about how you live and work with the land.

Whatever Happened to Respect and Co-operation?
Maybe this time only exists in my head.. maybe it never existed,
but there was a time when Game hosts and field owners would co-operate on Game dates, and not post games that conflict with another Scheduled Game in the same area.
There was a time that it was considered very poor form to post a game to compete with a fellow Game host, or venue.
Sure, it was an "unwritten rule" based on mutual respect and the desire to maximize everyone's attendance, but it existed. and for the most part it worked.
Even today.. some hosts do co-operate and respect one another.. but it all goes to naught when we see 3-5 games posted all within 100Km of each other.
The players.. are not to blame.. I fully expect them to go where they want, where it is most convenient. Why would it be otherwise?
Is there a solution to this problem.. or has it gone as it seems, Let the Market determine it?
or is there a problem?

Perhaps because there is a bigger player pool to tap from now and so the number of games is increasing, supply increasing to meet demand. Whether all games are well attended would be the true indicator of this.

My $0.05 (rounded up since our pennies are now sunset)
Perhaps it would be useful to deploy a central website/product that could be used by hosts and players alike to organize and register for public gaming events. At the moment we rely on threads posted in the Games and Event Schedule forum of ASC and unfortunately more effort is required to lookup information rather then having it organized in a more easily viewable format.
I have seen some "internal chatter" that one of the major Canadian airsoft vendors might be prototyping such a website/product. If all registered games could be summarized on a central page it might go a long way to preventing the scheduling of games on the same date and in the same area.
Of course this is based on the assumption that hosts do want to prevent the scheduling of conflicting and competing games ... if this proves false there's very little we can do.

We had the exact same discussion last year among Quebec organizers and one of the answer was : the player and organizer pool has grown so much that more and more games were organized to satisfy a bigger player pool. There was just so many people and so few week-ends that overlap were bound to happen.
Our imperfect and unofficial solution : It's OK to plan at the same date if the events are different types (CQB vs milsim for example) or geographically aimed at the different player pools.
We also created a thread to post the dates of private games so we know they could conflict with our games.
Again, imperfect but it works for us!

Yes but what Brian is getting to is that a couple of weeks was there was zero Sunday (except splatters) games, all games where on Saturdays. This is beneficial for players like me. I work weekends and if I take a saturday off I might lose 150 in wages, where as sundays are often 80-100 at most.

Yeah pretty much what Silver said. The past 3 years or so, we'd done a good job at diving dates so that games didn't overlap but with the rapid growth in the player base the past 2 years and the arrival or commercially-driven fields on the scene (who want to host much more frequently) we had to adapt.
But with the increase in players came a diversification of gaming styles; the milsim crowd doesn't usually care much for skirmishing and vice versa, now we also have more specialized games like WW2 and Vietnam which are sorta niche markets that don't appeal to everyone... so why would a player be penalized on a weekend because there's a WW2 game on and he doesn't play WW2? There aren't enough "good season" weekends in a year to start doing that.
So we try to avoiding directly competing events (like 2 large milsim events, or 2 WW2 events) on the same weekend, but otherwise it works out fairly well since [example] milsims don't have to be dumbed down to cater to the otherwise skirmisher crowd, etc.
Similarly, asides from special large events, geographically distant areas (namely the Montreal area and Quebec City area) do things individually. The 3 hour car ride each way is really rough, specially since we've been having really hot summers that can make the day really exhausting. I did it twice last summer and I found it extremely taxing.

Good stuff!..
I agree that the player Pool is larger.. and the proliferation of venues is also a driver.
maybe .. this is just a new reality that has to be embraced
OPS-Center may relieve some of these issues .. or it may just enable managing it better ..
We will see it goes live June 1st from the last I heard
I am fiddling on the BETA version.. and it's cool for certain

In terms of brought up issue, I personally do not see a reason for another website. Just because dates will be clearly labeled doesnt mean people won't create games on the same day..
We could have just standarized game names in ASC to clearly state when they are happening. For example <Date> :: <Location> :: <Name>
May 12 :: Finch Field :: Skirmish Game
May 11-13 :: Muskoka :: Force on Force Patrolling Exercise
Besides larger player base, some hosts are not doing it "full time" or with profit in mind. So they do not have luxury of choosing dates. Whenever a field opens up or they have personal time to host thats when the game can happen..

Brian and ViR raise some really good points and ask some good questions in this thread. I think ops-center will help a little bit. I also agree that in many cases, organizers are just doing what they can to make use of the time slots they can actually get.
In a big enough market, simultaneous games are just going to happen and to a certain extent I think this is a good thing for a few reasons.
Consider that there are many players have the luxury of organizing themselves into teams and choosing the types of games they will sign up for -- variety is good when you have some folks who are unable to rent a van as a team like our's can and need to be able to play at a venue that is transit-accessible and not too expensive. When my team (F242) plays at games, we generally sign up at least 4 names at once as early as we can confirm the date, and the explicit intent there is to help the game organizer secure their venue and assess their financial risk. We expect more, but for this we're willing to pay more and pay earlier.
So I think that's going to be one source of date conflicts, because venue owners will be planning far ahead of time, and by the time the conflict is detected, it's too late. How do you combat this potential thorny issue? Incentivize early signups so that all conflicting games can make their numbers.
Now on to the issue of "experience differentiation", which I feel is the big one. I am looking for a quality airsoft experience with a smile on my face at the end of the day.
At least in the GTA and surrounding communities, conflicts are going to happen due to the need for product variety. One thing organizers of in-city games as well as the creators of ops-centre need to understand is that even though I live in the core of downtown Toronto, games in the heavier paint-oriented paintball venues are not a product I'm interested in, so if there are 2 indoor paintball venue games in the city on one Saturday, they are effectively invisible to me and not in conflict with a third option. A third outdoor game posts up 45 minutes outside of the city -- now I have 1 game to select. Easy.
The thing is, this sort of product differentiation is also happening for outdoor games outside of the city and based on differentiation factors that are more subtle. Ones along the lines of ethics, aesthetics, or just plain community connections. I love playing with certain folks again and again. You call your hits. You come up and shake my hand. You help us jumpstart our van's dead battery or lend us a spare gun. We trust each other. You all know who you are.
As an example, I am no longer interested in attending the no-signup-required, "open airsoft" games that are happening at a given outdoor paintball venue 45 minutes from the city. These games have acquired a reputation of having a lot of new or young players who do not call hits and exhibit terrible ethics when it comes to MED, are chaotically organized, have unsafe practices when it comes to eyewear, and to boot somewhat on the pricey side. When this organizer decided to throw caution into the wind and try to grow his games into the bigtime, he decided to let the market do its work. And so be it.
Brian says the market may work its magic to cure this problem, and it definitely will -- but it's important to understand that that's all it is. The competing, sometimes datewise-overlapping games which are geographically close to these games are in no way meant as a "F you" to anyone, but simply represent groups of players wishing to organize and differentiate their own preferred experience.
I bet this pattern is repeating itself all over the country.

I guess to summarize the more controversial aspect of what I said above:
There are certain game venues and organizers which have soured the milk and if there is some kind of grand non-conflict cooperation between organizers such that a sour-milk game is the only option for my team on a given weekend, well, that is going to suck balls.

In a tangible sign that perceptions of better times along Madison Avenue may start becoming a reality, a leading ad tracking service reported that advertising spending in major media rose in the first quarter, marking the first gain since the first quarter of 2008.
The gain, 5.1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2009, was the largest increase in ad spending since the first quarter of 2006, the ad tracking service, Kantar Media, a unit of WPP, reported on Wednesday morning.
Fueling the increase was significantly higher spending by marketing mainstays like Procter & Gamble, AT&T and Pfizer, as well as a big bump in the ad budget at General Motors.

text: Glad the guy is safe, never thought of this happening Rescuers save man PLAIN TWP.: Plain Township Fire & Rescue saved a man stranded on a small lake when his hovercraft became disabled 400 feet from shore Wednesday afternoon. Rescuers were challenged by rain, high winds and variable ice thickness after arriving at the lake, located in the 5000 block of Harmont Avenue Northeast, according to a report issued by Capt. Rob Skolmutch. An attempt to use a rescue boat was abandoned, because the ice was too thick in some areas. Then four firefighters in cold-water exposure suits attempted to reach the man, but kept encountering ice too thin to support their rescue sled. After about an hour and a half, rescuers reached Philip Roholt of Plain Township and returned him to shore, where he did not require any medical treatment, the report said.

Love the video! Love Arlo! Love the Murphinitis! Great pics Kelly & Jennica! I can barely remember Arlo as a tiny puppy.ReplyDelete
Oh he was so tiny. love the growing up shots, Fraser managed to make an appearance too. What else could you possibly be doing in your free timeReplyDelete
I can't believe how LITTLE he was! He's a great dog. You guys have done a great job with him. The sequence with him eating was so clever I loved it.ReplyDelete

We had been hearing good things about The Chippy Qatar, especially about their authentic fish and chips. So, we headed to Bin Omran to try it for ourselves.
It's a small outlet which can hardly accommodate six guests at a time. We guess this is why, majority of their orders are for home delivery.
Now coming to the food, we had:
Fish Burger:
Our favorite dish of the night was this amazing burger. With soft bun and crispy fish fillet, it had all the ingredients of a perfect 'fish burger'. It was served with french fries. Tartar sauce was also provided on request. So it was like the perfect combo.
Margherita Pizza:
Not the best one we have ever had, but was good enough. We loved the thin crust, not too crispy or soggy, just right!
Fish (Hamour) and Chips:
They do three different types of fish for fish and chips; white fish, hamour and cod. We chose the hamour fish. It was served with tartar sauce and quite a lot of chips. The fish was crispy, taste was good and the serving size was fine too. But while eating, we found a chunk of raw fish! It wasn't cooked properly from one side. We were offered another serving but we kindly refused as something like this just kills your appetite.
So, overall, everything was good until we found that uncooked piece of fish. Apart from that it was a smooth experience. The staff was pleasant, service was good and it wasn't difficult to find parking. But it was quite hot inside. Also, they don't accept card so you need to go out and find an ATM nearby if you are out of cash.
