Headline story.Wetlands International strengthens Ramsar Database team.Scott Frazier, Senior Wetland Inventory Officer at Wetlands International, reports: "Ellen Amting, a Dutch National from Amsterdam, joined us today as Wetland Database Management Asistant. She replaces Jantien van Oord, who recently moved to Haarlem. Ellen will bring the Ramsar Database team back up to full strength and will assist with our other wetland database managment. Ellen studied Tropical Ecology at the University of Amsterdam. She has done research and/or fieldwork in spatial/landcover/vegetation (including wetlands) issues in Senegal, Kenya, Burkina Faso and the Netherlands. She has a keen interest in GIS as evidenced by previous and ongoing course work. She was a database management assistant on a Soil Information System before joing us. Welcome Ellen!" [2/12/00]
Headline story.Morava floodplain is subject of impressive new DAPHNE book. A new 188-page hardcover book in Slovak and English has been published by DAPHNE (Centre for Applied Ecology, Slovak Republic) with support from the PHARE Programme of the European Commission, as well as WWF, the GEF, and the Slovak Ministry. This very useful book, called "Morava River Floodplain Meadows – Importance, Restoration and Management", is the result of six years of research and restoration works conducted by DAPHNE. It shows the importance of wetlands as ecological and economical resources, explains the main functions and roles of floodplain meadows, reflects historical changes and provides detailed analysis on the impact of different natural and human-induced factors on meadow communities. It also provides recommendations on restoration of floodplain meadows, based on field experiments. The chapter on "Economic valuation of benefits from conservation and restoration of floodplain meadows" shows that conservation and restoration as well as sustainable use of the river floodplains have a significant monetary value. Findings in this chapter could be a useful tool to convince decision-makers that investments in restoration of meadows are not only beneficial for conservation of biological diversity, but also profitable. Available from bookstores, ISBN 80-967471-5-0; more information is available from Ján Seffer, DAPHNE (email@example.com). -- reported by Inga Racinska [30/11/00].

Other texts newly on the Site: Still more "History of the Standing Committee" -- a daunting project almost completed -- English versions of all the Standing Committee minutes since the beginning of Ramsar Standing Committee time to the present (only SC5 1988 remains to be finished). [2/12/00]
Action on wetlands in Panama and the region. The Grupo de Humedales y Zonas Costero-Marinas de Panamá (Wetlands and Coastal and Marine Areas Group, Panama), sponsored by IUCN's Regional Office (ORMA), is expressing support for the actions being taken by Panama's National Environmental Authority in relation to the impacts of an embankment being built in the Ramsar site San San Pond Sak. At the same time, the Wetland and Coastal and Marine Areas Working Groups of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama have issued a Pronouncement, during a meeting held on 18-19 September 2000 in Costa Rica, calling on their respective governments to take action to stop the deterioration presently being caused by developments in a number of wetlands and coastal areas. These materials, in Spanish, can be consulted here. [28/11/00]
UK names first site in the Channel Islands. The United Kingdom has designated, as its 160th Wetland of International Importance, "South East Coast of Jersey, Channel Islands" (3210ha; 49°09'N 02°02'W) in the Bailiwick of Jersey, a Crown Dependency of the UK. Amongst the largest intertidal reef sites in Europe, this site 22km off the coast of France comprises various habitats: reefs, boulder fields, mud, sandy and shingle shores not covered by water at low tide, combined with shallow tidal lagoons, seagrass beds and a large number of outlying reefs. The maximum spring tide range of 12m exposes 17.5m2 of wave cut rock platforms, extensive areas of reef, and a complex system of soft substrate gullies. The site provides important winter habitat for waders and wildfowl and produces a rich and diverse range of biotopes and some uncommon species assemblages. It meets Criteria 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 for inclusion in the List - in regard to the Fish Criteria (7+8), because of the enormous water exchanges and substrate variability a wide diversity of species and life history stages are present. The flora and fauna is characterized by a number of limit-of-range species at both the northern and southern margins of their distributions. Fishing is of great cultural, social, and traditional importance to the population, and a wide range of non-exploitive recreational activity is very important within the site. Effects of inorganic waste disposal and sewage discharge are seen as potential threats. This is the 1042nd Ramsar site globally. [27/11/00] [français et/y español]
New Intern for Africa chosen for Ramsar Bureau. The Bureau is pleased to announce that Simon André Rafanomezantsoa from Madagascar has been selected as the next Intern/Assistant to the Regional Coordinator for Africa, replacing Evans Okong'o from Kenya, who is soon to complete his one-year's tenure in the secretariat. Simon has a "Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies (D.E.A.)" in Animal Ecology-Environment from the University of Antananarivo (1998), as well as a "Maîtrise de Recherche en Sciences Biologiques Appliquées", option Animal Biology (1994), and a teaching diploma in Natural Sciences (1993). Since October 1997, Simon has been working as Wetlands Project Manager with the "Peregrine Fund Madagascar", at the Ramsar site "Complexe des lacs de Manambolomaty" in the Antsalova region. He has participated in several training programmes, workshops and meetings, such as the Xth Pan-African Ornithological Congress held in Uganda; the Earthwatch Fellowship Programme in Zambia; the Vth Conference on Birds of Prey and Owls in South Africa; a workshop for determining important bird areas in Madagascar, organised by BirdLife International, and various other training courses. He has an excellent level in both English and French, besides his mother tongue Malagasy. The Bureau hopes to be welcoming Simon around mid-January 2001, depending up Swiss work permit formalities.

Ramsar's statement to the 6th COP of the Climate Change Convention. The Secretary General of the Convention on Wetlands, Delmar Blasco, was amongst the speakers, in the section for intergovernmental organizations, on the first day of the ministerial sessions of the 6th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. He updated the participants on Ramsar work that impacts upon climate change issues and called for their support for increased synergies between the two Conventions on how climate change affects wetlands and how wetlands can help to mitigate adverse climate changes. Here is the text of his address. [21/11/00]
The UK launches government policy for Ramsar sites in England. On 14 November, UK Environment Minister Michael Meacher launched a government policy intended to give the highest possible level of protection to England's wetland sites listed under the Ramsar Convention. The new Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions policy guidance on the protection and management of English Ramsar sites "reinforces the message that development of these sites will be allowed only in the rarest circumstances. If, unusually, consent is given to development, lost wetlands interests will have to be replaced, by restoring and recreating habitats. The Government also expects that developers will have to agree and bear the cost of these compensatory packages, under the polluter pays principle." This statement sets out the Government's policies for the protection and management of Ramsar sites in England, some 75 sites covering over 361,000 hectares (matters relating to the management of Ramsar sites in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland fall to the devolved administrations of those countries), and, most interestingly, it requires that Ramsar sites be accorded the same legal protections as are the country's Special Protection Areas (SPAs) classified under the EC Birds Directive and 148 candidate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under the EC Habitats Directive in the Natura 2000 network. Both the DETR's press release and the policy itself have been reprinted with permission on this Web site, as well on the Web site of the DETR. [20/11/00]
World Commission on Dams launches report. The long-awaited report of the WCD was launched in London on Thursday, 16 November. Entitled Dams and Development: a New Framework for Decision-Making, the 404-page report compiles and assesses the work of an enormous number of individuals and presents data from a very large number of sources. It is anticipated that the WCD report will have considerable significance for the Ramsar Convention, and the report, along with its large number of technical supporting reviews, will be reviewed by the Ramsar STRP's Expert Working Group on Dams as the basis for advising Contracting Parties at COP8 on issues relating to dams, wetlands, and the WCD guidance. The new report is available from the WCD Web site, www.dams.org and in hardcopy from Earthscan publications, http://www.earthscan.co.uk . [20/11/00]
UK picks Garry Bog. The United Kingdom has designated its 159th Ramsar site, called with admirable succinctness Garry Bog (155 hectares, 55°06'N 006°31'W). Garry Bog is one of the largest lowland raised bogs in Northern Ireland, and the site exhibits the full range of characteristic vegetation and structural features associated with this type of habitat, such as bog pools and hummock complexes with extensive Sphagnum-rich bryophyte carpets. The lagg surrounding the bog has been cut for turf, creating a mosaic of water-logged cuttings at different levels, separated by elevated ramparts. The site, listed as wetland type "U" (peatlands), is considered to be internationally important by virtue of Criterion 1, as a large, relatively intact, and one of the best examples of lowland raised bog in the UK. This brings the global Ramsar total to 1041 wetlands under the Ramsar umbrella. [17/11/00] [français et/y español]
Announcement. Standing Committee 25 results now available. English versions of the Minutes and of the Decisions of the 25th Standing Committee meeting, 23-27 October 2000, are now available. (The meeting's Decisions are also included within the Minutes document, but the latter file is obviously somewhat larger.) The Decisions, but not the Minutes, will be translated into French and Spanish and will be available in about two weeks' time. The agenda papers for the meeting and the welcoming statements from the International Organization Partners are also available now, and the list of participants and photos of the proceedings will follow shortly. [13/11/00]
Announcement. Nordic Council plans info on Ramsar in the region. The Nordic Council of Ministers has decided to produce a leaflet on Ramsar and Ramsar sites in the Nordic countries. It will be published in five versions ("we are not yet speaking the same language, but we are working on it"), and it will include information on the convention, its goals, different wetland types in Scandinavian countries and overview maps of all their Ramsar sites. Overseeing the project will be Torsten Larsson, Naturvårdsverket/Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, email@example.com, but it will be made in close contact with his Nordic colleagues. Publication is foreseen hopefully before next summer. [15/11/00]
Ecuador designates Isla Santay near Guayaquil. The Bureau is delighted to announce that Ecuador has designated its 6th Ramsar site, with the paperwork completed as of 31 October 2000. "Isla Santay" (4,705 hectares, Guayas Province, 02º13'S 079º51'W) is located in the delta of the Guayas River near the urban perimeter of the city of Guayaquil. The Isla Santay site (2200ha for the island itself and about 2505ha for surrounding waters) is characterized by halophytic vegetation that is influenced by tides and seasonal changes throughout the year (Ramsar Type "I", Intertidal forested wetlands, including mangrove swamps, etc.). Despite being a highly altered area, it provides refuge for a great number of species and conserves a great biological diversity due to its location in the ecotone region, and the site qualifies for the Ramsar List under all three of the biodiversity Criteria and both of the fish Criteria. It is probably the only known nesting area for the endangered Amazona autumnalis. The island is inhabited by 182 residents who practice fishing, traditional agriculture, and livestock raising on a sustainable level, but threats from continuing urban development have been noted. This is the 1040th Ramsar site globally. [13/11/00] [français et/y español]
European Union Water Framework Directive seminar. On 9-10 November the Directorate-General Environment of the European Commission and WWF organised the second seminar (in a series of three) to deal with key issues pertaining to the implementation of the new Water Framework Directive. Ramsar Regional Coordinator for Europe was there and describes the results in this brief report. [14/11/00]
Japan includes Ramsar values in school curricula. The Ramsar Convention's Strategic Plan 1997-2002 calls (in Action 3.2.5) for the inclusion of wetland and Ramsar values in elementary, secondary, and tertiary educational curricula. Here's a peek at progress on that front in Japan, with a quick look at a fine Environment Agency brochure introducing Ramsar values and Ramsar sites to the public, which might well be taken as a model by many of our Contracting Parties. [13/11/00]
Announcement. European Regional Meeting on the Ramsar Convention set for Slovenia. The dates have been set for 13-18 October 2001 and the venue will be in Bled. Here is a brief look at the issues to be covered in the meeting. [13/11/00]
China's Wetlands Conservation Action Plan is ready. Recently the China National Wetlands Conservation Action Plan has been published for implementation. The State Forestry Administration (SFA), as the focal point for Ramsar Convention implementation in China, announced that the Action Plan after consultation among 17 Ministries/Commissions has been approved by the State Council and put into implementation immediately. Here's report from Li Lukang, Wetlands International China Programme, on the results of the press conference. [13/11/00]
News from the SGF.1998 SGF project completed in Georgia. The final report has been received for the project "Conservation of Javakheti Plateau wetlands in Southern Georgia". During the project, most of the important lakes in Southern Georgia meeting the Ramsar Criteria have been identified for potential inclusion in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. All the stakeholders have been involved in elaboration of draft management plan for Lakes Khanchali, Madatapa, and Bugdasheni during the project. The project was carried out by NACRES (Noah's Ark Centre for the Recovery of Endangered Species) in cooperation with Ministry of Environment of Georgia. In order to protect the highly threatened transboundary alpine and subalpine wetland ecosystems in Georgia and Turkey, Georgia is looking forward to future cooperation with Turkey to designate a transboundary Ramsar site in the area. [Racinska, 13/11/00]
Agreement signed with Danube Protection Commission. The Ramsar Convention Bureau has concluded an agreement with the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River -- the permanent secretariat of which is based in Vienna, Austria -- which conveys Observer Status upon the Bureau in the meetings and deliberations of the ICPDR. Citing congruence of principles and objectives, the agreement outlines a number of areas of potentially mutually helpful contacts, and the text is reproduced right here. [9/11/00]
MOU between SCBD and Wetlands International. In September, the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Coordination Unit of Wetlands International, outlining agreed objectives and areas of mutual work which have extraordinary importance for the Ramsar Convention, especially since many of the agreed activities focus upon fulfillment of the Joint Work Plan between Ramsar and the CBD. With permission of the parties to the MOU, we've reprinted the document on this Web site. [10/11/00]
Bureau fêtes change of interns and lots of birthdays. On 8 November 2000, Alexander "Sasha" Belokurov (Russian Federation) took his leave of the Ramsar Bureau, accompanied by many sighs and groans from Bureau staff and more ceremonial vodka than was wanted, and Inga Racinska (Latvia) was welcomed to his recently vacated adjustable chair as Assistant to the Regional Coordinator for Europe. All of those stressed members of the environmental bureaucracies of all the Ramsar Member States in the European region will hasten to make the acquaintance of the person with whom they will be dealing for the year to come. [10/11/00]
Argentina names high-altitude Ramsar site. Argentina's authorities have designated their 8th Ramsar site, Lagunas de Vilama (157,000 hectares, 22°36'S 066°55'W), which comprises more than ten Andean highland lagoons that occupy endorrheic depressions in Jujuy province, in the extreme northwest of the country, at 4,500 meters above sea level. The lagoons have diverse characteristics, from saline and deep to hypersaline and shallow. They provide habitat for a very rich aquatic bird life, with a good number of endemic and/or endangered species (flamingos Phoenicoparrus andinus,P. jamesi, and coots Fulica cornuta); in addition, a diversity of Nearctic migrating species find a feeding place here. In the plains that surround the lagoons, locally called "ciénegos", other endangered species like vicuñas and "ñandú" (South American ostrich; Pterocnemia pennata garleppi) are present. These "ciénegos" also provide grazing resources for herds of domestic camelids (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, etc.) and sheep of the local people who practice traditional modes of transhumance. In addition to these plains, the most prevalent vegetation are characteristic of shrub steppes and Andean highland pastures. Numerous archeological sites attest to significant human populations from 5,000 years ago, and the lagoons continue to hold ritual significance. The area of the Ramsar site is part of the provincial Reserva Altoandina de la Chinchilla. There are presently 1039 Wetlands of International Importance globally, covering 78,423,330 hectares.

Wetland Bird Survey 1998-99 published for the UK.WeBS is the monitoring scheme for non-breeding waterbirds in the UK which aims to provide the principal data for the conservation of their populations and wetland habitats. The data collected are used to assess the size of waterbird populations, determine trends in numbers and distribution, and assess the importance of individual sites for waterbirds, in line with the requirements of international conservation Conventions and Directives. Continuing a tradition begun in 1947, around 3,000 volunteer counters participate in synchronized monthly counts of wetlands of all habitat types, mainly during the winter period. WeBS is a partnership among the British Trust of Ornithology, The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. Find a better picture of this new report and some further details here. [9/11/00]
News from the SGF.1997 SGF project completed in Zambia. The final SGF report has been received for Wetlands, People, and Biodiversity: SGF Project in Zambia (1997 project cycle). The Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia (email@example.com), supported by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, set up a pilot Wetlands Outreach Programme in the Kafue Flats, one of the two Ramsar sites in Zambia. The Outreach Programme, for which SFR 38,400 were authorized, focused upon on promotion of local awareness and action concerning the cultural, ecological and economic value of wetlands. The Programme included guided study tours into the area, production of educational materials and posters, a schedule of 13 weekly 15-minute radio programmes, a number of meetings and training workshops, and an inventory of income-generating activities which have an impact on the natural resources of the region. These form the basis for promoting community participation and action in sustainable development and environmental rehabilitation, such as stimulating discussion of environmental problems, development of ecotourism at a local level, thus also reducing poverty among the communities. [9/11/00]
United Kingdom places Ouse Washes on the Montreux Record. The Government of the United Kingdom has requested that the Ramsar site Ouse Washes be included in the Montreux Record of sites the ecological character of which has changed, is changing, or is likely to change. Ouse Washes is a long, narrow area of seasonally flooded grassland of 2,469 hectares in the north of England, designated in January 1976, which provides flood storage between two channelized rivers. Ouse Washes was considered Internationally Important by virtue of a number of Ramsar Criteria, including 'representative example', 'rare or endangered species', and both the 20,000 and the 1%-threshold waterfowl Criteria. The "nature of change in ecological character/potential for adverse change" is listed on the Montreux Record Questionnaire as "1. Decline in the numbers of breeding waterfowl, 2. Changes in vegetation communities, and 3. Decline in water quality" apparently caused by "1. An increase in the incidence of summer flooding over the past 25 years, and 2. A decline in water quality affecting higher plants within the rivers and ditches of the Ouse Washes". Efforts are presently under way to help remedy the situation. The site's entry into the Montreux Record is effective as of the Bureau's receipt of the UK's request, 31 October 2000. [5/11/00]
Announcement. RIZA Wetland Restoration Course 2001 brochures available. For several years now, the Wetland Advisory and Training Centre's International Course on Wetland Management in Lelystad, The Netherlands, grounded solidly in Ramsar management principles and the Ramsar wise use concept, has been graduating successive classes of wetland managers who have had a catalytic effect in their home countries, often in the developing world. Last year's first International Course on Wetland Restoration was similarly successful, and WATC has just released its brochure for next year's course. The one-month certificate-bearing courses are well grounded in Ramsar principles and include a finely tuned mix of theory and hands-on field practice. The next Restoration course will take place 6 June to 5 July 2001 in Lelystad, with an application deadline of 1 February 2001, and you can obtain the descriptive application brochure from email@example.com . [7/11/00]

Ramsar's 25th Standing Committee meeting. The Standing Committee has completed its week of meetings, 23-27 October, with two days of preparatory meetings of the Subgroups followed by two and a half days of plenary sessions. There were some 65 participants from SC-member Parties, Observer Parties, International Organization Partners, and other observer States and NGOs, plus Bureau staff and interpreters. Among the results: The SC endorsed and advised on the Bureau's cooperation with the CBD and other conventions, instititutions, and processes, and encouraged the development of new initiatives such as the River Basin Initiative, the Participatory Management Networking Service, and the Ramsar Wetlands Training and Advisory Service. The members offered advice and sought further input on several key institutional issues, such as Parties' reporting of change in ecological character, the legal issues surrounding potential restrictions of site boundaries, the structure of the Ramsar Sites Database, and the implementation of several COP7 resolutions. The Committee reviewed the work of the STRP and set up a new Subgroup to consider the STRP's modus operandi. [Left: The Secretary General welcomes SC25 participants. Photo: Alexander Belokurov]
In addition, the SC approved the Bureau's accounts for 1999-2000 and its work plan and budget for 2001, carried forward the drafting of Strategic Plan 2003-2008, decided upon the interim location of the MedWet Coordination Function, and approved a slate of Small Grants Fund project proposals. The suggestion of the Government of Spain to hold the 8th meeting of the Conference of the Parties in Valencia, 18-26 November 2002, was accepted with appreciation for Spain's generous pledge of contributions to the COP budget, the draft COP8 agenda was approved, and a calendar of related meetings between now and then was established. The full report of the meeting will appear here in about a week's time. [30/10/00]
Photo essay.Ramsar at Hallowe'en. Not many secretariats of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) would display themselves in full Hallowe'en regalia, absent the threat of excessive force. But the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, continuously innovative since 1971, is unafraid to show its really silly side on this Web site. [1/11/00]
Australia enacts landmark legislation to protect Ramsar sites and migratory birds. Getting ready to enshrine your Ramsar obligations into national law??? Former Ramsar Deputy Secretary General Dr Bill Phillips, now of MainStream Environmental Consulting, explains the new Australian legislation conferring federal legal obligations on Wetlands of International Importance, and throws in excerpts of the relevant legislation. This Australian effort is a significant advance and an excellent model for other Contracting Parties seeking to embody Ramsar's wise use principles in their national and federal legislation. It's all here for your solemn contemplation, right now. [1/11/00]
Report ready.Millennium Wetland Event - Chairpersons' Report. The Chairpersons of the Quebec 2000 event this past August, Clayton Rubec and Bernard Bélanger, have finalized their 'balance sheet' report on the success of the meetings, including final figures on everything, lessons learned, lists of printed and other products expected from all the symposia, and lots more. Read our reprint of the Chairpersons' Report right here.(And a few more photos of Ramsar's participation.) [31/10/00]
China plans mangrove inventory. The China State Forestry Administration (SFA) has announced that an inventory of mangrove resources would start next spring (northern hemisphere). Mangrove is special forest vegetation and plays an important role in keeping ecological balance along China's coastal areas. So far some 14 mangrove type nature reserves have been established. However, for various reasons no systematic and overall inventory of mangrove resources has been carried out, and this is an important gap having negative impacts on conservation and management of mangrove resources. It is estimated that some 40% of mangrove area have been lost. SFA, in its announcement, instructed that the forestry departments of all distribution provinces (Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan) have to be responsible to form a team for this inventory starting in spring of 2001 and prepare to issue ownership/tenure certificates of mangrove before end of 2001. – Reported by Li Lukang, Wetlands International China Programme (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Any way, I'm having trouble connecting to open wifi connections with the tablet. Whenever I try to connect to a open connection with good signal strength, it reads "Obtaining IP Address" then just disconnects. After this it starts to scan again & the process starts all over again.
The settings are not on static IP or anyting. Am I doing sumn wrong?
Help please.

Random Thoughts on the Narrow Escape Thursday, November 5, 2009 by FLCeltsFan 10:39 AM The Celtics team I watched play the Wolves last night didn't look in the least like the team that won the previous 5. They were flat on offense, shooting an anemic 44% from the floor and 26% from beyond the arc. And even worse, the team that hopes to become the best defensive team in NBA history allowed the Timberwolves to shoot 52%. And who in the world is Oleksiy Pecherov?? The Wolves didn't even pick up his option. But yet, there he was, scoring 24 points on 9-14 shooting to go with his 8 rebounds. Honestly, does this guy look like a guy who could go up against KG and Perk and come out on top? There was something really wrong here. I know Perk was mostly concentrating on Big Al and did a decent job of holding him to 18 points and 4 rebounds. But come on. KG couldn't contain this guy? Looking at that last play again where they called the jump ball, I think if I was a Wolves fan, I'd be a little upset with the call. I know that KG got a lot of ball on that play, but the call could have gone either way. I don't like having games come down to the discretion of the ref. It should never been that close. Pierce looked tired and went back to driving into triple teams instead of passing the ball a few times. His last jumper was flat and front rimmed. They were playing in back to back games but they played limited minutes the night before because it was a blow out. Even the bench looked out of sorts with Rasheed and Eddie shooting a combined 4-15. But, Rasheed, Eddie, Shelden and Quisy each made at least one crucial basket or play and I still see this bench winning more games than not. It wasn't all bad though. Perk looked good with 13 points on 6-7 shooting, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. The Sultan of Swat strikes again. And Rondo did some good things with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. All 5 starters were in double figures. And, they had only 9 turnovers. In spite of the fact that they were out rebounded 40-36, and allowed the Wolves to shoot 52% while shooting only 44% themselves. And in spite of the fact that last night they were dying by the 3, they still got the win in the end. But, they won't win many games with the kind of effort they put out last night, especially on the defensive end. Hopefully this isn't what we can expect in back to back games all season. But in the end, the Celtics are 6-0 and still undefeated. It was experience and poise in the end that pulled it out. I guess I should be happy. Of the other top contenders, all have lost at least one game. And the Lakers have been stretched to OT in two games along with a loss. So, I'll take 6-0, even with a close win over the Timberpups. Next up: Phoenix on Friday. Let's hope they find their defense for that game or the Suns will run them out of the building. [Discuss this topic on the Celtics Green Forums!] Comments: Is that Pecherov pic from a dating site or something? lol. He played well last nite. Kahn might be regretting passing on the option. # posted by JR : 1:56 AM LOL. Not sure where the pic came from originally. There are more than a few pics out there with him surrounded by females. Go figure :) # posted by FLCeltsFan : 7:41 AM Post a CommentThis blog does not allow anonymous comments.

Navy Federal Gets First of Legislature's Oil Spill Recovery Funds
The Navy Federal Credit Union, in announcing 700 new jobs, is the first company picking up $680,000 through a legislative act directed at assisting businesses along areas of the Florida Panhandle impacted by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill.
Navy Federal Credit Union in the Pensacola area is receiving the funding through the Industry Recruitment, Retention & Expansion Fund Grant Program, administered by the University of West Florida Office of Economic Development and Engagement.
"This project exactly fits the purpose of the Oil Spill Recovery Act passed by the Florida Legislature," Senate President-designate Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, stated in a release. "Navy Federal brings new, good, high-paying jobs that diversify our economy. And there are protections built in to ensure performance and a solid return on investment."
Gaetz authored SB 2156, which included the Oil Spill Recovery Act and allocates $10 million a year over three years toward eight Northwest Florida counties for the purposes of research and development, commercialization of research, economic diversification and job creation.

Bridge Bearing and Beam Spot Painting Atlantic City Expressway
Project OverviewThe Bridge Bearing and Beam Spot Painting project includes the cleaning and repainting of various bridge elements along the Atlantic City Expressway. The fascia beams of all steel bridges will be repainted in their entirety as well as various sections of other steel beams on an as-needed basis. The two bridges carrying the Expressway over Route 42 will be painted in their entirety. All bearings will be cleaned and painted on every Expressway Bridge. The painting of the bridges will help to prevent deterioration of the structures, preserve their structural integrity, improve safety and extend their useful life. The new paint will prevent corrosion damage, as well as provide an additional environmental and safety factor by eliminating exposure to any existing lead paint currently on some structures. All painting work will involve the removal of the existing paint by certified professionals who are required to follow an approved Containment Plan, Lead Health and Safety Plan and Waste Disposal Plan, as required by law. The South Jersey Transportation Authority awarded the Construction Contract for this project to Allied Painting, Inc at their June 15, 2010 board meeting. The painting began in July of 2010 and will be completed in December 2010. |

Latest News
Paul Jewell received a telephone call from Harry Redknapp to assure the Ipswich manager that he was not interested in his job, reveals BBC Sport.
This news comes after speculation that Redknapp would be keen to take over the reins at the Suffolk club after a poor start to the season which has seen Ipswich slump to 23rd position in the Championship.
Jewell explained to BBC Radio Suffolk: "Harry rang me last Sunday and said there was absolutely no truth in it." He continued by joking that "the only worrying thing was at the end of the conversation he asked me what the best areas to live were!"
Clearly, the ex-Wigan boss is keen to keep in high spirits despite his side recording just one win all season. His cause has not been helped by a host of injuries, including to strikers Michael Chopra and new signing Paul Taylor. As a result, Ipswich have scored just 5 goals in 7 games, putting pressure on the manager.
Keen to emphasise the communication between himself and his chairman, Jewell explained how he reassured Redknapp that the phone call was unnecessary. "You didn't have to make the phone call, Harry, because if Marcus was going to make a change, I think he'd tell me first". Jewell will now focus his attention to the weekend when Ipswich face a strong Barnsley side, on a high after a magnificent 5-0 victory over Birmingham. Jewell will hope his players can help relieve some pressure of their boss, and begin to silence the speculation over his future.

There is a high risk of Rip Currents this weekend for Florida
Big Bend and Panhandle beaches with dangerous Rip Currents and
building surf expected.
A developing area of low pressure in the east-central Gulf of
Mexico is expected to move slowly northward Saturday has a 80 percent chance of developing into a Tropical Depression/Tropical Storm within the next 48 hours. Regardless of development, strong southeast winds of 20 mph or more and incoming southerly swells will lead to building surf. As breaker heights increase to upwards of 5 to 7 feet by Sunday, conditions are expected to become very hazardous for anyone entering the water with frequent and strong rip currents likely.
Specifically in south Walton, coastal Bay, coastal Gulf, coastal Franklin Counties a high Rip Current risk now in effect through Sunday evening.
* Surf...breakers 2 to 4 feet building to 4 to 6 feet by this
evening. Increasing again to 5 to 7 feet on Sunday.
* Timing...Rip Currents will become stronger and more frequent
today...with dangerous rip current conditions lasting through
Sunday and possibly longer.
* Impacts...rough surf and dangerous Rip Currents will create
extremely hazardous conditions for anyone entering the water.
Rip Currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties and piers.
Heed the advice of lifeguards and the Beach Patrol. Pay attention to
flags and posted signs. If you become caught in a rip current do not panic. Remain calm and begin to swim parallel to shore.
Once you are away from the force of the rip current begin to
swim back to the beach. Do not attempt to swim directly against a
Rip Current. Even a strong swimmer can become exhausted quickly.

I've got an opportunity at the end of January to spend a few weeks hiking with my 4x5 kit in the desert southwest, between say L. A. and maybe as far east as Phoenix. I was thinking of spending up to a week in Joshua Tree N. P. with a side trip up to Death Valley, but the itinerary isn't firm yet.
I've got some ideas on hiking trails and things to point the camera toward, but it's always nice to get other folks' input. Anyone got a favorite trail, valley, mountain, pile of rocks, joshua tree, hanging fruit cholla, arroyo.... that they want to share???
Also, any favorite restaurants I should make an effort to visit? Gotta keep my wife happy too!
Thanks in advance for you input!

We are currently renovating our home that is 7 years old. We are renovating the bathrooms. We are wondering if we should be tiling the bathroom walls or not? Is this just a trend that will go away and then scare new home buyers away from purchasing our home? We won't be using bold colors, mostly natural stone looking porcelain tiles.
We propose tiling up the wall half way in our main bath and the same in our master bath. In the master bath tile would be on the floor, on the bathtub surround, the walk in shower and half way up the wall.
This is quite an expense and I know the look will be nice but I worry about resale.
Most magazines seem to be half and half. However, it seems the higher end bathrooms have the tile on the wall.
Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you,
I think keep both the bathroom wall design same but use half below portion with quality & good looking tiles as this part is always remain wet due to wholesome days activity. use low expensive tiles at upper half portion of wall so you will be in budjet as well as get high value while selling. or if you dont know which tiles to use you can ask for a bathroom renovation proffesional.
As long as you manage to create an one of a kind bathroom using the tiles I don't see why the buyers wouldn't love it. There are a lot of unique bathroom ideas on the internet, just take your time and study them before buying the tiles, you will certainly come across the right design for your bathroom.
Most builders' new homes do not have tiles in the bathroom mainly to cut costs, even though a painted drywall will not take the moisture and maintenance as good as tiled wall.
When selecting tiles, try to find something that is not too trendy, and larger sized tiles usually cost less to install.
I've never really thought of it as so much of a trend, as it is personal preference. I think the style of tile is what can date a bathroom, but going for a classic, neutral finish should be fine.
I personally like the look of bare walls, with tiles used for the shower surround and around the sink, but it's all what you prefer!
Some bathrooms I like:

On Calkins Lane at the edge of the Chehalem Mountains in Oregon's Willamette Valley, a beautifully tended 23-acre vineyard stands next to the pretty Bergström winery, where Josh Bergström makes some of the best wines in Oregon. The biodynamically farmed vines belong to Paul de Lancellotti and his wife, Kendall Bergström-de Lancellotti, who is Josh Bergström's sister. In the winery, Bergström has been making the wines from this vineyard, most going into a single-vineyard bottling for Bergström Wines, some for de Lancellotti's own bottling.
It was all looking so cozy, but behind the scenes there were family tensions that have resulted in wrenching changes for both wineries and for the Inn at Red Hills, which had been started and managed by Kendall.

We are specialist suppliers and installers of wind turbines in a range of sizes up to 500kW. Our turbines are suitable for farms, businesses and communities.
We provide a full range of services, including pre-installation and post-installation. We can help you decide on a package, advise on siting and installation, perform a site survey and advise you on dealing with the planning authorities and electricity companies. We can install the wind turbine for you and then provide you with post-installation services such as maintenance and repair. We only work with wind power, so we reckon we know a thing or two about it!
Anyone with the space and wind speed to site a wind turbine can generate their own electricity from wind power. Wind turbines can have their output directly connected to the existing mains electricity supply, which means that the energy produced by the turbine can reduce the energy drawn from the supply. If you produce 'more than enough' energy, then it is possible to export energy and sell it to the electricity supplier.
A wind turbine secures electricity supply for 20 to 25 years, over which time electricity prices are forecast to rise substantially. For many farmers, landowners and businesses, continuation of supply is vital and using a wind turbine to provide energy when and where it is needed makes commercial sense. The Feed in Tariff provides an additional benefit of installing the right turbine in the right place.
For our existing customers who require technical support with their turbines please ring our dedicated 24 hour Customer Technical Support Helpline - 0800 468 1323.

In other words, I wanted to find out, as I looked back at a long and complicated life, with many twists and turns, how well I've done at measuring up to the values I myself have set." —Sidney Poitier. In this luminous memoir, a true American icon looks back on his celebrated life.

Bah. I'm always the first one standing in front of the stage, and I'm a girl. I don't need no date to lead me there.
This doesn't work:
Grown men move microphone stands from one end of the stage to another to be closer to the women.
I've never seen this, and any second guitarist coming over to my side of the stage is going to get his arse kicked (that's if there's enough room to move in the first place)
The next sentence is silly, you can't turn a drum kit while you're playing, it's hard enough to change your stance on the drum stool because the other side of the kit is now too far away.
Besides, drummers (bass players to a somewhat lesser extent) always get the girls and it's because they have the time to catch the girls eye while the singer or guitarist are posing up front.
take out all the crap about "the girls"
and "road manager"
and "roadie" (people will set my stuff up FOR me???)
and the whole "band's share" of the cover thing (wait, you mean some people actually get PAID to do this???)ahh, good times. I've been out of the "scene" for about 2 years now.
I loved every minute of it.
I think he means "columns" when he says "sometimes beams are right in front of the stage".
Jimmy: I like it. You've avoided the word 'suddenly' and you're right – real people occasionaly smoke pot and swear. I'd be keen to know how long you spend on outlining before you dive into setting the voice and style to this extent. It feels finished to me.
Wow, this brings back so many memories. I fronted a classic rock cover band back in the early seventies. We didn't have a road manager. We rarely had anyone but ourselves to carry our stuff, setup and afterwards, break down. We really had a blast even though we didn't make any money over our expenses. It didn't matter. We were a rock band, man. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this when it's finished.

HELENA — Attorney General Steve Bullock is asking a court to force his opponent in the governor's race to return a $500,000 campaign donation.
Bullock argues the Montana Republican Party donation to Rick Hill is illegal.
Hill counters it was legal because it came when a federal judge had ruled the state's contribution limits unconstitutional. An appeals court reinstated the limits six days later.
The Republican Party also disclosed on Wednesday that it gave $32,000 to attorney general candidate Tim Fox.
A day later, the Montana Democratic Party acknowledged it gave $35,000 to its candidate for attorney general, Pam Bucy. Bucy said she refunded the donation on Tuesday when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the state's donation limits at least through the election.
