text: Human IQ average to be 82 by 2100 The dark blue line is the average IQ of the world. I've also plotted the population growth of the five most populous countries, India, China, the U.S., Indonesia, and Nigeria; the average IQ of each of these countries is in parenthesis. (Nigeria is currently ninth, with Brazil (87), Pakistan (81), Russia (96), and Bangladesh (81) intervening, but by 2050 it will be fifth.) As you can see, in a 100 year period the world's average IQ will have dropped from 92 to 86, a change of 6%. That is pretty darn significant. And all because of differential population growth. I extrapolated the population growth of each country another 50 years to the year 2100 (lightly shaded region of graph). At that time the world's average IQ will have dropped below 84. Within this time period of 150 years, extremely short by any evolutionary standard, an incredibly significant change in this key metric will have occurred. And there is no sign of the trend bottoming out, because the growth rate of countries with lower IQs exceeds the growth rate of countries with higher IQs. The most populous country today is China, which has a high IQ (100), but its growth is actually projected to be negative because of their "one child" policy. After about 2030 India will be the most populous country, and it has relatively low IQ (81). At current growth rates by 2100 Nigeria will be the third most populous country, and it has a low IQ (67). http://www.gnxp.com/MT2/archives/000953.html We'll be dumb as chimpanzees and orangutans!

Aussie 18 Foot Skiffs: Giltinan 2011 Preview - David Witt Heads Queensland Challenge
David Witt accepts Giltinan 1999 ribbon. Image copyright Frank Quealey.
by Frank Quealey
One of Australia's best known 18ft Skiff sailors from the 1990s, David Witt has made a comeback in the class to represent Queensland with a serious Giltinan Championship campaign.
David was not only one of the best skippers in the 18s but UK's Tim Robinson had "Witty" on board when he won the 1999 Giltinan in Rockport.
In this campaign, David is joined by long time crew and champion sailors Alan Mansfield and Barry Flannigan. The trio will be one of the heaviest (if not the heaviest) teams in the regatta and will certainly be one to watch in strong wind conditions.
Alan Mansfield said that recently, during one of their training sessions on Waterloo Bay, they completed the day without a single capsize in around 35-knots.
Their skiff is a former Gotta Love It 7 and Smeg hull and they have added two brand new rigs on the skiff, which will race as Queenslander 1 (Q1).
David Witt came originally into the 18s (from the Cherubs) as a 17-year-old and quickly established himself as a very fine, talented sailor and quite a character off the water.
His transition from the Cherubs was so successful that it quickly led to an influx of other Cherub sailors into the Australian 18 Footers League fleet.
Two of Dave's former team mates, who followed him from the Cherubs will be competing against him in this regatta. They are Andrew 'Noddy' Hay (Yandoo) and Dave 'Gil' Ewings (Smeg).
He also sailed successfully with Grand Prix Sailing in the 1990s and represented sponsors Ericsson, AAMI, Nokia and Pace Express.
Over the past 18 years, he has been involved in major sailing projects all over the world.
Aside from his 18ft Skiff achievements, he has competed in 16 Sydney-Hobart races (all as skipper or primary helmsman), Whitbread Round-the-World (now known as Volvo), Maxi World champion, Fastnet races, Melbourne-Osaka (teo-handed) and Round Europe race.
His roles often included that of project manager (as well as primary helmsman/skipper) on boats from 30ft to 100ft, and managing budgets from tens of thousands up to multi-million dollar projects.
The team are not only looking for success in the 2011 Giltinan, but see their challenge as a boost to re-establishing an 18ft Skiff fleet in Queensland.
"We want to help develop the talents of young Queensland sailors and believe our knowledge and experience will help these young sailors as well as lift the Queensland profile in sailing", David said.

Japanese gov't supports power, fisheries sectors
The Japanese government is to provide a $38.3 million grant to Ghana to help improve power supply and promote fisheries in the country.
The first component of the grant, which amounts to $35.5 million, will be used to improve power supply to Accra Central.
Works under this project will include the construction and upgrading of the Graphic Road electricity sub-station and its interconnected sub-transmission lines into a bulk supply point (BSP).
When completed, the project will help to save about 21MW of power, ensure stable and reliable power supply to the capital city and ensure voltage improvement.
It will also improve efficiency by reducing the pressure on the Achimota and Mallam BSPs.
The remaining $2.8 million of the grant is expected to be used for the construction and expansion of the Sekondi Fishing Harbour.
The amount is an additional budget for the project, which was signed in August 2014.
This brings the total cost of the project to $17.6 million.
At the signing ceremony at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration yesterday, the sector minister, Ms Hanna Tetteh, said the agreement reinforced the strong relationship between Ghana and Japan over the years.
She stated that the grant was the fourth the Japanese government had provided to the country this year, adding that "Ghana has benefited from Japanese financial assistance in various forms for diverse projects which are aimed at ensuring the socio-economic development of the country and the improvement in the standard of living of the citizenry."
Present at the ceremony was the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development, Ms Sherry Ayittey, who stated that the Sekondi Harbour project, when completed, would help introduce better management into the fisheries sector and also improve the use of technology in the fishing industry.
The Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, Kaoru Yoshimura, said the agreement would help open new pages of success and cooperation in the long bilateral relations between the two countries.

A Carroll jury took less than an hour yesterday to convict Noland Maurice Rheubottom of dealing cocaine out of his Westminster apartment last June.
The conviction -- his third -- could result in a sentence of up to 65 years under the state's so-called "three-time loser" statute.
"I vigorously prosecuted him, and now I am going to ask the court to keep him off the streets to protect the rest of society," Assistant State's Attorney Barton F. Walker III said after the jury's verdict.

Weather Warlock Synth Streaming Hurricane Irma
The Weather Warlock, which was installed in the legendary Miami bar GRAMPS a few years ago, is now streaming live throughout Hurricane Irma's journey through Florida. Created by New Orleans music legend Mr. Quintron following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the 7-ft tall esoteric instrument reads the outside temperature, wind, sunlight, and rain and synthesizes the signal into a droning, oscillating sonic landscape. From his 2015 interview with The Guardian: "I wanted its sounds to be mostly beautiful," says Q, who sculpted the sound palette partly for his own therapeutic purposes. "When I first built it, it was screeching...Read More

I recently had to move from using FastCGI on Camping Ruby framework, to sweet Mongrel because of getting too much 500 HTTP errors under some load tests. Yes irc::zimbatm, me too.
When on FastCGI behing Lighttpd, upon each request, the code is loaded so after changing its source, it gets updated.
Now, under development, Mongrel(s), behind the same Lighttpd frontend, need to be restarted upon source code changes in the models, views, controllers or helpers (yet not CSS files, since they are taken care by lighty). Instead of moving to the xterm, kill the process and restart it i decided to automate it. Since i was disconnected from the internet, I've done this script to detect file changes from a pre-specified array of files, monitored under a certain interval in seconds, with an action to start, kill, and restart an app (in my case, a Mongreled Camping web app).
- Problem: Threads
- Solution: Process::fork
The app load (in this case I load/execute ruby scripts) is done via
Process::fork. A new process starts up each time this method is fired up upon a
File.open(f, 'r').ctime change:
def load_app
@pid = Process.fork { load(@app) }
Before loading up a new updated instance of the app, the previous one must be terminated.
Threads behaviour was problematic because of the thread tree termination in time. This is well done, in a safe mode, with
Process::kill(signal, pid) and
Process::wait(pid) that waits the pid process termination, essential in the case of Mongrel server.
def kill_app
Process.kill(\"KILL\", @pid)
As one can see in this screenshot the main app process holds on while the child, in this case our Mongrel'ed Camping web app, is terminated and created a new one. Verbose mode to assert its behaviour. Suits this specific need.
This is very usefull to make tests (Test::Unit:TestCase) run automatically upon source changes (will get to an Autotest clone).
Changing from
one can get any command be executed. ftp, cp, etc…
The script is here do download under a Ruby License.

New Origins, New Destinations, and Their Pioneers
Katherine Bartley, University of Pennsylvania
Using data from Mexican Migration Project, this study investigates two hypotheses: 1) compared to migrants from historic sending regions, migrants heading from newer origins in Mexico are more likely to go to newer destinations in the United States; and 2) within new destinations, the first migrants, or 'pioneers', differ in measurable ways from those who follow them. The results generally provide support for the first hypothesis, with migrants from new origins being more likely to head to new destinations. The results regarding the second hypothesis are less straightforward. There is no evidence that early migrants are more likely to be male. Yet the pioneer migrants are more likely to have come from higher skilled occupations in Mexico. Additionally, the data suggest that compared to pioneer migrants, more recent migrants are more likely to have come from communities with longer migration histories, and to have had prior U.S. experience.

GROUP A has been invited to contribute to a Spanish publication by Loft Publications on '1000 tips by 100 Eco Architects'. The selected Eco-tips have all been inspired by our experiences and fascinations in recent projects, processes, and team collaborations.
01] – Do Think Ahead | HQ AkzoNobel Amsterdam
Essential to the early stages of planning and designing a green build, is to think ahead to environmental impact, orientation, site embedding, existing surrounding qualities, technical practicalities, social- and cultural cohesian, selected materials & finishes, the design- and construction process, the long term sustainable 'value', maintenance, education of end-users, and future change in expectations & demands.
02] – Do Reconsider | Harbour Island Rotterdam
Even before considering any physical preparation and building activities on site, parties involved in the planning should make sure that actual building is really well-considered at all. It should be absolutely clear to everyone that the envisaged build has social-, cultural-, environmental-, and economical relevance, for now and in the future. Reconsidering should always be part of any planning process.
03] – Do the R's | Living Evangelic Church
The classic R's can't of course be missed in any Top-10: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. When reducing, savings are both economic and sustainable. Explore reduction before deploying reuse and recycling. Reuse (Adaptive Reuse) can happen on a big scale and often results in significant savings and environmental benefits, but takes planning. All selected building materials, -components and -parts, should be recyclable.
04] – Go New World of Work | Interior HQ Sabic Sittard
Consider in the early stages of design also the actual space end users believe they require. Discuss for example office's real occupancy rates, the potential of multi-functional spaces, the value of team tables, and open plan activities. Develop together with users a more compact office environment with less fixed workspaces, anticipating realistic occupancy rates. Prepare for New World of Work.
05] – Go Compact | Exterior HQ Sabic Sittard
If finally decided proceeding with building activities, and all stages of reflection and appropriate sustainable considerations have been completed, it is certainly an additional 'green' asset to build as compact as possible. Smart urban growth, clever higher densities, expanding vertically rather than horizontally, minimising circulation distances, atrium embracing floors, and New World of Work concepts, all contribute to this ambition.
06] – Go Underground | BP Rotterdam Refinery
By deploying relatively 'low tech' means, building performance can improve substantially. Exposed internal concrete structures for example allow its mass to inhibit temperature fluctuations. The natural steady temperature reduces energy consumption and requires smaller plant facilities. But wouldn't it be even more effective minimising the external impact of extremes in temperature all together by going underground, and introducing 'green' roofs?
07] – Be Receptive | GROUP A Schoolprojects
Planning, designing and building is teamwork, its success often depending on the willingness of parties being receptive to each others' opinions. Open up and get inspired by cooperating disciplines. Start listening more with your heart and your intuition, instead of your mind. Get rid off the habit of 'being heard' to be able to really contribute to innovation and sustainability.
08] – Be Natural | Dudelange Luxembourg
Vital to any build environment is the resulting impact it has on people's physical and mental well-being. The natural quality and performance of building materials, internal climate, daylight, and interaction with the outside, are key to the ambition providing a healthy sustainable build environment. Choices should therefore be inspired by the ultimate balance and principles, as they apply in nature.
09] – Be Inspired | GROUP A office
Acting 'eco' can only be considered succesfull, when the final product fits the user, fullfills his expectations, and creates an atmoshere that motivates and inspires him. Reference to this objective in GROUP A designs, is our own studio. Although the 1930 monument still shows shortcomings, the building has contributed highly to the creative process and solid social cohesion amongst staff.
10] – Do Love | ONO Charity Chair
Unconditional love for our profession – designer, creative architect, educator, communicator, value adder, social- cultural worker, urban planner, motivator, initiator, team member – is the ultimate motivation in the way we live up to our principles. Only with this mentality and passion we can start inspiring other people and processes to be eco-ware, and ready to implement a 1000 Eco-Tips.
The book, which will be coedited by Page One, will be distributed worldwide in a few months.

Now one for the history books, the 2016 Monster Energy Cup was once again an interesting and revealing success. Whether one considers the Monster Energy Cup as a review of the previous season or a preview of the next, the experimentation aspect–by riders and teams or by the track builders and promoters–always tells us a bit about the state of the sport.One thing is for sure: The fast guys last season are going to be the fast guys next season. The premier Cup Class stacked up undoubtedly the top four in the sport, and all but one ended up on the final podium. Eli Tomac walked away with the lion's share of the purse ($100,000), while perennial front-runner and current AMA Supercross Champ Ryan Dungey got the runner up check for $35,000. Marvin Musquin's podium spot netted him a cool $25,000, as the Frenchman begins to enter his sophomore year in the premier 450SX class.Tomac was great all day and night, always one of the fastest, and always battling for position. It wasn't his speed that won the event, though. It was his consistency–2,1,4 finishes–that won it for him. Beaten by Roczen, Musquin and Dungey at least once, it goes to show that the top four were very evenly matched throughout the event and certainly also shows that they'll be equally close for the upcoming AMA Supercross season.If one rider stood out, it was Ken Roczen. Almost impossibly good for what he stated was the ninth ride on his new factory Honda CRF450R, Roczen was well on his way to the Monster Million before a (relatively graceful) high-speed trip over the handlebars dashed his hopes. After his bike wouldn't restart, Roczen walked away from the incident. Surprisingly, he showed up for the final main event and, forced to start from the far outside, was still able to pull off the final win. With scores of 1, 21, 1, Ken didn't end up on the podium but had he been able to restart and finish the second main event, he'd have had to finished fifth to still end up with the win. Lesson learned here: Ken Roczen is the man to beat for 2017.Runner-up Ryan Dungey was also exceptionally consistent all night with 3,2,3 scores and was briefly in the running for the overall win. Never a winner at the Monster Energy Cup, Dungey wanted it badly and, had it not been for his teammate Musquin getting by him on the final lap, he would've had it. There were no hard feelings after the race between the teammates, though, as Dungey admitted there are no team orders and they're all "in it to win it." In just his first race back in the United States since early in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series, the champ seems to be well on his way to his old self, and as the grind to Anaheim 1 begins, he's shown he won't have far to go to be back up front.The final podium spot went to Marvin Musquin, who probably surprised a few people with his speed and aggression throughout the evening. Going 4,3,2, he improved all night long and even seemed to be running Roczen's pace for a while in the final main. Marvin's been building a head of steam this past year. Injury-free for the entire AMA Supercross and Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Series, he improved all year and certainly reinforced his position at the Monster Energy Cup. Musquin will be a threat for every podium in 2017.Roczen's teammate on Honda HRC, Cole Seely, had an admittedly "flat" night of racing. Never a standout on the track, Seely was just where he needed to be to finish one spot off the podium. One of the pre-race standouts in the slightly depleted field of riders, Seely had a built-in excuse–he hadn't raced since June. He summed up the night well in a post-race interview, enforcing why he's a crowd favorite: "It's tough to come back from not racing and be 100 percent right
out of the gate, but it's all good. It's another night racing dirt bikes, and
I'm happy I can call it my job." After spending the off-season practicing and testing with Roczen, it's safe to predict he'll be another one of the weekly threats for podiums in 2017.Blake Bagget made his debut on the newly reorganized Rocky Mountain ATV/MC/KTM/WPS team, where he's a teammate of Davi Millsaps (who is currently injured). Baggett struggled all summer with injuries and what may have not been the best match of team/bike. Baggett sounds like he's feeling rejuvenated on the new team and, while sixth overall (5,7,9) may not be up to his standard, he mentioned post-race that "(I) got the first moto holeshot, rode within my comfort and
ability and dropped back to fifth...the night went pretty well." A former national 250cc motocross champion, Baggett hopes to relocate the fire within to have a more successful 2017 AMA Supercross season.
The Amateur All-Stars race, consisting of two main events, showcased the best of the up-and-coming talent in AMA amateur racing. The top of the heap this year was Sioux City, Iowa's Cameron McAdoo. On the top step of the podium with three of the most interesting names in motocross (the others were Challen Tennant, second, and Garrett Marchbanks), McAdoo's 7-1 scores don't illustrate how well he performed. He'd lead the first two-thirds of the opening main event, only to crash and fall back to seventh. McAdoo is set to turn pro next year and will be a welcome addition on the Motoconcepts team as their lone 250 rider.Also, with two main events to showcase their talents, the Supermini class never fails to keep the fans on their toes. The two top minicycle riders in the country–Carson Mumford (122) and Stilez Robertson–made sure this year was no exception, as the two went back and forth all night. It was ultimately Robertson who ended up on the top step, with Mumford second and Aiden Tijero rounding it out.The big experiment of the night, of course, was the massively elevated starting gate and straightaway. Widely considered a huge success by the fans, media and riders, it's something that many look forward to seeing again in the future. According to Tomac, the initial fears of so much speed being carried into the first turn were allayed as the racing went on: "It looks huge and kind of sketchy, but it kind of
stretches everybody out and makes it less tight in the first turn, so it wasn't
too bad at all." There were no incidents by the Cup Class, which was a surprise to many, considering the estimated top speed was in excess of 70 mph. In one word: Awesome.That's it for the 2016 Monster Energy Cup. Whether a preview or a review, it was revealing in many ways. But, most of all, it showed us that the 2017 AMA Supercross Series is set to be one for the ages. See you in Anaheim! Check out the 2017 Schedule right HERE.

The scalp of unbeaten leaders Mickleover Royals was sweet enough. But it's a fair bet that the heads of local-derby rivals HUCKNALL TOWN, claimed last Saturday, meant so much more to revitalised BULWELL.
Seven days earlier, The Bulls had given surefire comfirmation of their remarkable resurgence under new manager George Hulley when becoming the first team to defeat Mickleover.
But such a momentous victory would have lost a bit of its lustre if they had been unable to follow it up against Town.
As it was, a solitary goal in the 30th minute by Jay Knight, against his former club, earned them a precious 1-0 victory. One that lifted them into second spot in the Central Midlands League, South Division table, just three points behind Mickleover. And one that made it four wins on the spin and seven wins from nine matches under Hulley's wily leadership.
In fact, The Bulls have not lost a league match since way back on 25th October when they were licked 4-0 on their own patch -- by Hucknall Town.
Revenge was spot-on for the Bulwell following in a crowd of around 150 that braved icy-cold weather to witness a collision between two sides in a rich vein of form.
Sadly, the contest was far from a classic, with Town so disappointing that manager Andy Graves reckoned his team functioned at only 50% of their true ability.
"I thought it was a poor game," said Graves. "I felt we were flat throughut. We probably looked the more threatening in open play, but the quality in the last third was woeful.
"We looked tired, mentally, not physically, and I think that was a knock-on effect from the previous week's game at Pinxton when we played so well but got nothing.
"It's a shame that a game which should have been so entertaining never got the crowd going."
Bulwell weren't complaining, however. They felt it was "a typical local derby between two sides who weren't going to give anything less than 100%", and secretary Andy Radford commented: "We fully deserved our victory with a dominant display that had Hucknall frustrated for 90% of the match."
Town began like a house on fire, with Ben Waplington looking lively on the left. But a rock-solid Bulwell defence, in which Knight and Adam Whitehead were outstanding, soaked up all the pressure. Leon Aikman was always a threat for the home side in the middle of the park. But giving him as little time on the ball as possible nullified his influence and as the game wore on, Bulls brothers Ashley and Daniel Chadwick began to boss proceedings.
Chances were at a premium, though, and it's indicative of the shortage of entertainment that the only serious shot on target of the first half was Knight's goal.
Thank goodness then that the goal was well worth waiting for as the centre-back hammered a superb volley into the top corner from a Daniel Chadwick corner. Knight, and Whitehead, also received a yellow card, leaving them walking a tightrope in the second period.
And Town should have levelled just after the hour mark when striker Aaron Evans went clear for a one-on-one that Bulwell 'keeper Matt Simpson was equal to, spreading himself to save with his legs.
However, from then on, the visitors had few problems in holding on to their points. The sole scare came late on when substitute Adam Nelson skipped past Tobias Richardson for a shot across goal that had Simpson beaten but rolled wide.
At the other end, The Bulls created only half-chances. But as well as the win, they received a bonus in the shape of their latest foreign signing, Jorge De Pina.
Portuguese midfielder De Pina, who has played semi-professionally in his homeland, was sent on as a 64th minute substitute to break up play whenever possible in midfield. And judging by the 22-year-old's composure and ability to pick out a pass, Bulwell seem to have unearthed a gem.
HUCKNALL TOWN LINE-UP (4-5-1) -- Michael Samuels/ Josh Henry, Dave Leak, Joe Atkinson, Elliott Pitt/ Cayne Maxwell, James Rigg, Cameron Davidson, Leon Aikman, Ben Waplington/ Aaron Evans.
SUBS: Montell Gatland (for Maxwell 73), Adam Nelson (for Rigg 80), Josh Rafferty, Jeremy Moran.
TOWN STARMAN: Dave Leak.
BULWELL LINE-UP (4-4-1-1) -- Matt Simpson/ Carlo Rocco, Adam Whitehead, Jay Knight, Tobias Richardson/ Liam Towle, Daniel Chadwick, Ashley Chadwick, Leon Roberts/ Tommy Kemp/ Jake Fisher.
SUBS: Jorge De Pina (for Roberts 64), Lewis Wheelhouse (for Chadwick D. 68), Marek Vipond (for Kemp 80), Richard Saunders, Luke Attenborough.

Find out what our customers are saying about our home remodeling services in Columbus OH!
I have been a customer of Midwest for some nine years. I first hired the company in 1976 to convert my basement into a living area. Since then I have had Midwest install new roofing siding, windows, doors, cabinets, and an air conditioner at my home. I have always been pleased with their helpful attitude and excellent work. Customer Satisfaction comes first at Midwest and I recommend them highly.
Midwest and their crew did a wonderful job on my bathroom. They found electrical and plumbing problems which they also fixed. I cannot believe how easy it is for me to get around in my bathroom now. Thank you.
When deciding the time was right to redo the master bathroom in our home, we looked at two companies. Home Depot and Midwest. Midwest already handles our HVAC system and have great service. While Home Depot gave some good ideas, the proposed cost and timeframe of the project were much better with Midwest. In any project as big as this, there are going to be a few setbacks, but working with Midwest was a joy, and the ability to reach out to someone local to get answers to questions or to discuss a change or a new paint color were easy. I have referred Midwest to others and will continue to do so.
I would like to thank Mr. Jim Collins [Midwest Contractors] for the excellent job in working as my contractor to repair my home from recent wind damage this past winter of 2009. I heartily recommend Jim Collins as the consummate contractor to have on your side in repairing any damage to your home.
Approximately 13 years ago, we decided to have our kitchen remodeled. At that time, we met Mike Kirk. After patiently helping us choose the types of cabinets and type of remodeling we needed, he presented to us an estimate. After obtaining two other estimates, we chose Midwest's offer. Our reason for choosing Midwest was based on their years of experience and the total of the estimate. We are a firm believer in the adage, "you get what you pay for." Even though Midwest's prices are not the cheapest, they are very reasonable. We have never regretted choosing Midwest as our contractor for this important remodel.
Over the past 13 years, we have had Midwest install air conditioning, windows, doors, and a door. We have always been pleased with Midwest's prices as well as their craftsmanship. In addition, if we encountered a problem, Midwest would promptly get the problem fixed, with no hassle. Thanks for many jobs "well done."

Re the Aug. 29 article Two bankers in lead for Jackson Health board: Some things in Miami will never change — those most qualified will not be selected in favor of those "with strong local connections."
Selecting bankers over a long-time and highly qualified healthcare professional makes sense here in Miami where connections supersede competence. Having served with Judith Rosenbaum in the Department of Elder Affairs' Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, I can say that she is highly knowledgeable, creative and relentless in seeking solutions to problems and greatly concerned with the welfare of our residents in need of care.
Obviously, these attributes place her well behind the bankers.

Northumberland County , Eugene Todd PHONE: 905-753-2230
Great place for a winter hike. Even with all the ice and snow we have received the trails are well maintained and beautiful. Lots of trail distance options at the woodland trails.
One of best trails I've done so far this year. I'm probably a little biased on this one just because I love to mountain bike and this trail is no exception in fact. I would say it was made for mountain biking in particular. I mean there are some Sandy spots Which kind of suck but overall excellent trail.
Good the hike up to the mountain lookout is awesome
Great Mountain biking trail! Easy in most places but does have a few nice climbs. I'm glad I made the 25 minute ride from Peterborough to get this trail try.
I started from the Morris trail head, the trail is well marked. I can't wait until the spring to try it again and to have more time to explore more of this trail. it's too bad one can not camp along the trail as it looks like a fairly long trail to walk. only disappointment was when I got to the fire lookout, the tower was no longer there.

The sudden reunion of Bella Thorne, 19, and Scott Disick, 34, doesn't have everyone jumping for joy! Bella's friends are scared the young star is going to get her heart broken over their no strings attached relationship, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. "Bella's friend are really worried about her relationship with Scott," a source revealed. "She is telling everyone she has it totally under control and that's she's not emotionally invested, she just thinks he's hot and fun. It's a friends with benefits relationship that they both seem cool with. But everyone who knows her knows that despite her tough exterior Bella is very sensitive and could get really hurt." Oh no! This news is not entirely shocking considering some of the things Bella has said about Scott in the recent past. See some of the sexiest pics of Bella and Scott's whirlwind romance here!
Scott's definitely been known to be wild and enjoy sexy times with his fair share of ladies. Is this something the actress can handle? We're not so sure. "Scott is such a player and his partying is out of control," our source continued. "But Bella says he has a really huge heart and treats her like a queen. But he's never going to be loyal to her and she will end up getting her heart broken." Hmm…what a conundrum!
Before Bella started hanging out with Scott again, she was rumored to be dating her ex Gregg Sulkin, 25. Scott, on the other hand, was seen out and about with various women from Hailey Baldwin to Chloe Bartoli . It seems no one knows for sure how this controversial couple's relationship will progress but luckily Bella has her new film, You Get Me, released on June 23, to be excited about!

Corporate Money Loses In Ohio
Forward Ohio?
The 'American Awakening' that began in Madison, Wisconsin, and may have been some of the impetus behind the "Occupy" movement was missing one thing. They had yet to win a victory at the ballot box. The recall elections in Wisconsin were a 'moral victory' of sorts, but Labor and it's progressive allies lacked something absolute.
That victory may have come Wednesday in Ohio. That State's voter's resoundingly rejected a proposal similar to Wisconisin's union-busting laws. The defeat of the bill came despite large contributions from out-of-state interests, mostly corporations and corporate-fronted groups. Despite this defeat at the polls, the "%1" and it's allies are planning on a referendum to make Ohio a "Right To Work" state, along the lines of many of the Southern States.
That is for another hub, and likely that issue would suffer the same fate as Issue 2 did. But what can Democrats take from this victory.
For one, Labor can still be a force. Rather than "breaking the back" of labor, pro-"%1" governors in places like Wisconsin and Ohio have gotten labor to 'grow a spine', and build coalitions with other individuals and groups committed to econonmic justice.
Second, if people see an economic interest, they will vote for it. A lot of people in Ohio likley did see that if public employees had their rights denied, theirs could be next. Public employees are likely one of the last bastions of organized labor. Break them, and the road to 'USA Inc' becomes that much smoother.
But what to do with this knowledge? For one, turn the 'Jobs Bill' into a series of referendums of sorts. GOP opposition likely comes from some provision that threatens some corporate interest, when a piece is voted down, call them out on it. Mention that they've voted with that industry, or 'Corporate America'.
Second, throw something a bit meatier than a 'bone'. 'Card Check' a labor-backed effort to make it easier for workers to organize might be a nice gesture of good faith.
Finally, realize that the "Occupy" movement is at least a partial offshoot of this. Listen to some of their demands.
The 'Tea' might be wearing off the electorate, many of the folks who voted against Issue 2 may have voted FOR Kasich. They now see that they voted for the Koch Brother's, big banks, and the "%1". The next 12 months will see how well the Democrats can capitalize on this growing reality.
Ohio's Awakening
- In Ohio, a Win for Unions—That Just Preserves the Status Quo--The Nation
I am tired of being in a progressive movement that often starts with the strategy of "how little can we lose by?" It is a strategy that is 100 percent defense. . . It is time for us to go on offense and act boldly around our values and vision. . .
- TruthOut--Ohio Labor Movement Defeats Anti-Union Bill and Its Wealthy Supporters | Truthout
In the end, the pro-SB 5 campaign failed to gain the same momentum as the repeal effort, which received massive support from thousands of tireless volunteers and middle-class donors. . .
- Youngstown Vindicator--Mahoning Valley helps deep-six Issue 2
While state Issue 2 was soundly defeated statewide, the losses in Democratic-dominated Mahoning and Trumbull counties were greater. But in Mahoning County, 71.8 percent of voters rejected Issue 2, and 71.5 percent of voters voted against it. . .
Hello TeaPartyCrasher. I came upon this hub and had to comment. I live in Ohio and am proud to say I voted to reverse the Kasich union busting law. Hopefully Kasich will be a 1 term Governor. I find it interesting he used to work for Fox News.
The term "right to work" state really amuses me. Just like "The Patriot Act." Some of these issues are brilliantly packaged by the GOP.
Here in Ohio, we recently voted to allow casino gambling. Everything was agreed upon such as tax rate etc...
But Kasich stalled the construction of the casinos for several months so that he could pay an out of state company over $250,000 to "evaluate" the casino tax rate. The company is also getting a hefty monthly payment. A shame the local media isn't covering it more.
A little about me...
A member of the local Iron Workers union.
A member of the National Association of Realtors. So I am being influenced from both sides.
But I get a little upset when the National Association of Realtors sends me some literature talking about "big labor."
Sure, unions aren't perfect. But they are the only voice available for blue collar workers.
I remember what it was like walking around with 90 pounds of steel on my shoulder all day...hanging off the side of buildings...etc...
And the idea put forth by some people that I didn't deserve my $40,000 a year paycheck, my health insurance, and my pension, always upset me.
These guys build the bridges we drive across. And if you knew how much rebar goes into a bridge deck, it would make your back hurt just looking at it.
Hello, TeaPartyCrasher,
You said, " ... I come here not to battle, but to learn and think."
That is very refreshing. So many others around here are always walking around with scowls on their faces and their fists balled up.
Hello, TeaPartyCrasher,
If you take the time to check me out, you will find that about the only thing you and I have in common is we were both born in the Western Hemisphere.
However, because it is obvious that you are as strident in the way you see things as I am in the way I see things, I believe that the two of us could cause some real excitement to occur around here. It would be like The Clash of the Titans.
Thus, I am signing on to follow you and I hope you sign on to follow me. I believe that if we do that, HubPages will become even more exciting than already is.

How MayaBags® are Made
Traditional Maya Skills: Embroidery, back-strap loomed fabric, basketry, carving and great attention to fine luxury detail
The MayaBags accessories collection is based on using the traditional Maya hand skills, whether embroidery, back-strap loomed fabric, basketry or carving. "Traditional" means that a skill has been used for a very long time, generally since the culture's ancient origins, and that it has played a vital role in everyday life.
Today MayaBags enables the Belize Maya to keep these fine artisanal skills alive, handcrafting products that bring a touch of creativity and luxury to the lives of our customers. Designer concepts, vibrant weaving, and embroidery inspired by sky, sea and the rainforest[m]all come together to make beautifully detailed things.
Embroidery once "branded" tribe and family bonds
Fine embroidery was originally used on clothing by the Maya to depict their tribe or the area in Central America where they lived. Each tribe had its own style of embroidery and used different pictorial images as their "label."
It is hard today in Belize to reconstruct what exact embroidery the Maya women traditionally used to show where they belonged. Time passed, and a centuries-long combination of missionaries and English colonists encouraged the Maya people to abandon traditional dress in favor of more discreet, simpler clothes.
As a result, the most elaborate embroidery used now to show their roots is a cross-stitch embroidered neckline and cuff on a white cotton shirt and a tiered cotton skirt trimmed with lace. For everyday, the women most often wear a simple sewn dress, trimmed with lace or rickrack.
Today's simpler dress: More discrete but inconvenient!
While this simpler dress is now well associated with the Maya in Belize, it is a sad modification of their original, more elaborate traditional creations. While discreet, their current dress also makes it difficult to breastfeed babies, a significant inconvenience in a culture where women tend to have many children.
Nevertheless, the Maya women have maintained the embroidery skill that was passed down to them through the generations…that they will pass along to their children and, hopefully, their children will pass along to their children. Using those talents to craft beautiful MayaBags every day helps make that hope more attainable.
The mysterious Belize Maya "stitch"
Interestingly, the Maya in Belize use a very different embroidery stitch than the Maya in Guatemala. In Belize, the women use what is called a safety, clear stitch. In Guatemala, the women use a satin, through-and-through stitch. To date, we have been unable to determine why the stitches are different.
Perhaps, one can imagine, a missionary taught a group of Maya women how to do more efficient stitching that would require less yarn. Or maybe the women evolved the stitch on their own, as yarn is more expensive in Belize. It is also possible that the Maya there have always used this type of stitching. It would be interesting to find an answer.
The most beautiful work comes from the Maya soul
We have discovered that the Maya women embroider most beautifully that which is deep within their souls, within their visual vocabulary–ancient Maya glyphs, Maya gods and goddesses, acolytes to the gods, mythological stories, animals of the rainforest, birds and plants in their surroundings.
"Early on, I asked the women to embroider a church bell tower for holiday gift bags. That was an abysmal failure. They had never seen one…it wasn't something they could feel, so they couldn't embroider it," says Judy Bergsma, MayaBags founder. "I learned from that and from then on we stepped into the visual world of the Maya to create designs they could embroider with spirit and authenticity."
Rediscovering the back-strap loom; weaving the glorious colors of Belize
Like embroidery, back-strap looming to create textiles has been a highly valued skill since the Maya Classic period, over 2000 years ago. Back-strap looming is a unique form of weaving. One end of a loom is traditionally attached to a wall or a tree and the other end is strapped on the weaver's back with a strap made of fibers from the agave plant. As the woman pushes her hips forward and back, she raises and lowers the heddle stick. This allows her to push another strand of yarn from right to left (the weft) through the yarns that make up the warp or vertical layout of yarns.
In their weaving, as in all their crafts, the Belize Maya use color in a richer way than other regions, and are much more conscious of color palettes. "The women have a natural eye for selecting a range of colors that complement each other," says Desiree Arnold, who manages the work in Belize. She says, "at MayaBags, we let the women take a lead on textile designs…because we love the traditional look of their creative patterns. We don't want to lose the artisanal aspect of what they do."
One art is lost to time; many others are saved
At one point, Judy Bergsma had the opportunity to talk at length with a Mrs. Ack, an elderly Belize village woman. Judy had always wondered what happened to the Maya tradition of growing cotton, hand-spinning it into fiber and dying it with local plants. She learned from Mrs. Ack that fiber was indeed taken from the cotton tree (yes, a tree!) spun into yarn and dyed by the women[m]but only up through Mrs. Ack's generation. The lack of a ready market for the fiber and lagging demand for embroidery had killed the practice, Mrs. Ack said sadly.
Mrs. Ack told Judy "it just took too long, given all we had to do, and we made no money from it, so the women eventually lost interest in the skill." Mrs. Ack even showed Judy the old spinner she still had and a cotton pod she had kept as a memory of the "old" practice. "It made me sad," Judy says, "because we would love to use local hand-spun yarns in our weavings, but MayaBags started 50 years too late to save this aspect of their skills."
Basketry without weaving and hunting for jippi jappa
The use of basketry is another key skill employed in the MayaBags accessory collection. Like embroidery and back-strap looming, it is an ancient skill practiced by the women. When people think of basketry, they generally assume the baskets are woven. However, among the Belize Maya the baskets are almost always coiled and stitched.
This means the women take several strands of a plant fiber found naturally in the rainforest called "jippi jappa," and coil it in the shape of the basket they want to make. Then they use "eke" or fiber from the agave plant to stitch each coil to the last one…and so forth until the basket is complete. "It's a beautiful process but very time consuming," says Desiree Arnold.
In the past, the women used to go into the rainforest wearing just their sandals to hunt for jippi jappa along the river's edge. It was time consuming and dangerous because of the poisonous snakes that lay hidden on the forest floor. So the women were happy when Judy suggested that Maya farmers should start to grow jippi jappa and that MayaBags would buy the plant fiber from them.
This took some time to implement, but now MayaBags buys this farmed jippi jappa for the weavers who work with us. This has made a huge difference in the time they have to spend on a basket. While they still must do a fine cleaning of the fibers from the farmers, this has been a real step forward for them and has created an alternative crop for the farmers—that is also friendly to the rainforest.
Artisanal skills of Maya men
The only hand skills the Maya men have carried forward from ancient times are wood and calabash (gourd) carving, slate stone carving, hand-making "eke" rope from agave fibers, and leather making. Their carving skills are beautiful but are disappearing because there is no longer a large enough market for the end products to make these skills economically worthwhile.
No more living several years from one fallen tree?
We predict that wood carving from rosewood will soon become a lost skill. Why? Rosewood has been extracted from the rain forest in such huge quantities by foreign and local lumber operations—for export to foreign countries—that there is little left. We think it has reached a point of no return.
So little stock is left in the forest that it is unlikely there are enough mature trees left to produce seedlings for future generations. Beautiful bowls and carvings are also made from a few other rainforest hard woods, such as nargusta and tamarindo. But unless things dramatically change the lumber trade will deplete those as well—leaving nothing for the traditional Maya carver who can live off one fallen tree for many years.
MayaBags leather made the "eco" way
The leather we use at MayaBags is real leather with a sound environmental footprint. The only thing used to process the skin is water. Tanning is accomplished using the same method the Maasai in Africa use—by scraping the hairs off the skin with bark. The natural oils in the bark also soften the leather for pliability.
This is a win-win for everyone involved. No harm is done to the small group of men who work on the leather. No residue chemicals are dumped to poison local village water. And MayaBags is able to use leather trim to enhance the look of some of our bags, while supporting a viable environmental alternative to chemical leather processing.
Handcrafting "eke" rope; a vanishing art comes back
Making fine rope by hand is another of the oldest skills among Maya men. But there are few men left who still know how to make it, because the market for handmade rope of this quality disappeared long ago. We love this beautiful rope for trimming our bags and making handles, so we are supporting this skill with training and are purchasing this distinctive rope to use on some of our bags.
The artisanal rope "recipe"
Mr. Choco, who you see here, has been our rope-making trainer. To date he has trained a new group of six women in the skill. In essence, the ponderous leaves of the agave plant are either cooked or put into the ground for rotting until nothing but the fibers are left. Then, the fibers are separated, washed, and left in the sun to dry. When ready, using ash from a small container, the fibers are softened on the type of board Mr. Choco is using here. Next, the fibers are gradually twisted together to make one long strand. And finally, several strands are twisted again together to make the beautiful artisanal rope.
A "spirit" talisman for each bag
MayaBags does its best to support the Maya men's skills. As one example, we are adding hand-carved stone tokens to each of our purses, each depicting a Maya glyph. This creates several jobs for carvers and makes MayaBags purses yet more special. This special talisman will add another element of Maya spirit and art to each bag.
Each artisan's personal touch
Part of the joy of MayaBags products is that they are all handmade…meaning that no two MayaBags purses are exactly identical. Quality control is tight, so it is often hard to see the differences, especially in the embroidery and in the weaving. Nevertheless, little differences that represent the individual artisan at work can be seen if one closely studies two purses side by side. With woven bags, for example, stripes might slightly vary in size from one bag to the next. Or the pattern of embroidery stitches might slightly differ from one embroidered purse to another.
In basketry, it is sometimes easier to see differences. For our Maya earring handles, one artisan may use a wider band of white jippi jappa on one handle and a narrower band on another…as these photos illustrate. This is the artisan's creative touch, making each pair of handles she coils and stitches distinct. It is the artist's creative process coupled with handmade that drives this unique, joyful MayaBags quality of "not machine manufactured" products.
Artisanal arts: Inspiration for all creativity
High quality, beautiful artisanal skills that have been carried through many generations into the modern world are endangered. Like rare and beautiful birds, animals, fish and plants, these skills provide the "biodiversity" and inspiration for the world of creativity.
At MayaBags, we're proud to say that these skills are the source of all of our products. We support and value these talents and see that a world where they might someday be lost would be a far less interesting and inspirational place. So, please enjoy our products and let's celebrate what they stand for.

Let's blow a commonly held myth out of the water.
I used to believe that you fell into one of two camps: you either doubted or had faith that there was a supreme, eternal being called God. I couldn't comprehend how faith could exist in the presence of doubt. Surely the two were opposites. This is of course ok, until you try to live & think out your beliefs in the real world.
As Ortberg states, "many believers tend to think doubters are given over to meaninglessness, moral confusion and despair. Whilst many doubters assume believers are non-thinking, dogmatic, judgmental moralisers. But the reality is, we all have believing & doubting inside us. For we all have the same contradictory information to work with."
Faith & doubt.
Religious people are often unwilling to sit quietly & wrestle with doubt. This is when bad things happen. Glib responses are given, bad answers are offered & enormous pain is added when ordinary people are convinced that God has not delivered because their faith was not strong enough.
Yet we must doubt. Because we want truth; we must sometimes doubt. We don't want to be just one of those suckers who falls for every carnival sideshow delusion that comes along.
Faith & doubt.
When my first son Jacob was born this year I found myself staring at him in amazement. I was simply incapable of believing that he was an accident; just a ball of cells resulting from an evolutionary fluke. I can't hold him without being grateful to Someone greater than I.
And whilst the birth of every infant whispers of a loving God, I am only too aware that the death of every newborn calls His existence into question.
Faith & doubt.
Still not convinced? Take 5mins & read through Psalm 22 & 23; both attributed to David. The often quoted Psalm 23 is confident of God's promise, protection & peace; whilst the preceding Psalm 22 contrasts glaringly & opens with the words of Jesus on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Faith & doubt.
But in addition to believing & doubting there is choosing; I must decide which road to follow. I must place my bet somewhere.
The term "leap of faith" is overused & greatly misunderstood. It does not mean choosing to believe an impossible thing for no good reason; it is not an embrace of fantasy in which we ignore all evidence. The leap means to make a total commitment to an action in the midst of uncertainty (similar to marriage or having a child); where one must commit in spite of doubts & fears.
Faith, doubt & choice. My choice. Your choice.
