Games Workshop Will Bring Space Hulk to iOS
First thing's first. If you read this headline and clicked over here hoping for an iOS game featuring a certain green-hued anti hero, we're sorry to report that this game has nothing to do with Bruce Banner's alter ego returning from outer space with an army. But if you clicked over here hoping for news about a certain table-top science fantasy game, then you are in luck!
Games Workshop has announced that they will bring their board game Space Hulk to iOS. Space Hulk, which takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, features a world filled with Space Marines that have to crawl through the ruins of a giant spaceship, hunting evil aliens called Genestealers.
Developed by Denmark-based developer Full Control, makers of other turn-based strategy games, Space Hulk will be the second Games Workshop game schedule for iOS, in addition to their other title Warhammer Quest. The game is also coming to PC and Mac.
Based on the picture above, it looks like the metal offspring of Samus and the robot exoskeleton from Alien. Which, hey ... is a pretty good combo. The Space Hulk board game was full of dungeon-crawling and that will be the core of what takes place here. One player takes the role of the space marines and the other the role of the aliens. There's no indication of what the gameplay will look like or when the game will be released, but that's why they call it a teaser trailer, right?
Check out the trailer below:

Nuclear energy, that's what is crazier.
This video is two days old - which in Internet speak would normally put it past its expiration date already - but it made my jaw drop, and then put a giant smile on my face. Because it just looks amazing.
In case you're wondering: the banner stayed up from the moment it was dropped (20 minutes into the game) till the very end of the game. This game was the finals for the Coppa Italia - the Italian Cup - between Palermo and the Internazionale Milan.
The nuclear campaign in Italy is going a bit crazy - while some activists drop one of the biggest banners I've ever seen in football stadiums, others lock themselves in a bunker to simulate what would happen in case of a nuclear disaster.
But that is not anywhere near the level of craziness you'd need to reach to build nuclear power plants in a country at risk from earthquakes. Nuclear energy is dangerous, period.
If you're in Italy, make the right choice in the coming referendum. If you're elsewhere, just share this amazing video with your friends. If they're anything like me, they'll appreciate it.

yeah!!!i do love green peace!
I want to exlplain you, shortly, the reason why GP Italia is doing such crazy things. They are trying to sensitize the public opinion about the risks of nuclear, exactly like GP use to do all over the world.
Here we have only a little difference: the Italian government decided after years of shutting down of our NPP, to deal again with the nuclear proposal, just some time before Fukushima disaster, for new constructions in our territory.
The aim was to propose a referendum, to let the people decide about the case and the way they want to use to rise their objective was to convince us, with wrong and not complete informations about the matter, through general television and mass medias.......

.....After the dreadful Fukushima event, it's obviously quite impossible convince an entire country to vote in favour of Nuclear solution to energy problems…in fact NOW THE GOVERNMENT AND MISTER BERLUSCONI changed their idea! They don't want to do any referendum, they don't want to let us vote about our life and future!!! Their giustification is: "Unfortunately NOW is not the right moment to take such a decision about this matter, there is the risk to be embroiled too much within an emotional wake caused by the last negative events." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the next two days we should have the response about the real decisions on this Referendum, I still have faith on justice, I hope I'll give good news!

I'll tell you a secret
Are you starting to see how this works? (Newbies, hello and welcome, I've been talking about publishing scams all week, see below.) Fake publishers keep an eye on warnings, and they adjust accordingly. I'm hoping people will cotton on to the author mill system - but if they do, some clever crook will think of a way to fleece people that lets them claim they're not an author mill either. So really, there are two basic principles. One, remember the fundamental rule of Yog's Law - in legitimate publishing, 'money always flows towards the writer', which includes not having to pay for copies of your books (unless you've already had lots for free), or supplies, or promotional costs, or editing services, or, well, anything. (Wikipedia definition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yog's_Law, including the corollary 'The only place an author should sign a check is on the back, when they endorse it'. I should link to it, but blogger has once again changed how to do things and I can't find the command. Any technical suggestions gratefully received. Sorry.) You should invest nothing except the work you put into writing and editing the book. Believe me, that's no small contribution.
The other thing to do is get an ear for the tone of publishing scams. Genuine publishers look a bit forbidding from the outside; their submission guidelines are plain and factual, and in no way encouraging. They don't need to be, because they know that anyone who's serious will submit work anyway.
Scammers play on this. They sound much more friendly. They say things that make you feel that they understand you, that they have no more patience with the idiots who go around not publishing good work than you do, that they're open to approaches, that they treat you like an adult, that they expect you to be dynamic and proactive. The basic rule in reading merchandising is this:
Suspend your disbelief. Get into the spirit of what they're saying. Picture yourself the way they're describing you.
Do you feel good? Hopeful, proud of yourself, determined?
They're probably scamming you.
Do you feel like they're being cold and discouraging and expecting you to do a lot of work with no help from them?
They're probably legitimate.
As someone blogging* about my last post (see http://columbina.livejournal.com/50217.html) said the other day, '...a lot of times people assume I am soured on publishing mostly because of misinformation, but in fact I have a great deal of legitimate information. The problem is that it's the legitimate information which is depressing; sometimes believing the misinformation is cheerier.' She's absolutely right. That's why misinformation gets believed; on the surface, it sounds more agreeable.
Take, for instance, Random House. Their UK website says the following:
Q. How can I get published?
A. The Writers' and Artists' Yearbook contains addresses of all the UK literary agents. Research shows that less than 1 per cent of manuscripts sent unsolicited to publishers achieve publication. It is not easy to get a book published unless you have an agent, so the best thing is to start there. You may also find The Literary Consultancy or The Writers' Workshop useful for advice and manuscript assessment.
Basically, they're saying get an agent and do your own homework in finding one. Not friendly. Because they're being better than friendly, they're being honest. They're telling you what you need to know, pointing you in the right direction, and letting you get on with it. What they're saying isn't encouraging; it's helpful.
Consider, conversely, PublishAmerica (punctuation oddities preserved):
Welcome to PublishAmerica, the nation's number one book publisher!!
Glad you discovered us, on your road towards getting published. We are always happy when a new author has found the way to our door, because opportunity knocks on both sides of it. Maybe PublishAmerica will turn out to be the book publisher that you have been looking for while being determined to get published, and, who knows, maybe you are that one special author who is going to make our day.
It's happy and cheerful to the point of being lovey-dovey. But you have to remember that they're not actually addressing you personally. They're addressing every single person who fetches up on their website. Statistically, most of them (not you, of course) will be lousy writers. I've worked as a submissions editor: trust me on this.
Here's a secret about publishers: they sound discouraging for a reason. It's called self-defence. Many people are so desperate to get published that they behave in ways that, from the receiving end, feel like harassment. They'll tie you up on the phone to talk non-stop and at length about how important their book is to them, however carefully you try to explain that you really honestly don't have time to talk for hours. They'll bombard you with letters. They'll take a polite assurance that their work will be considered, along with everyone else's, for a promise that they're as good as accepted. They'll inflict painful emotional blackmail on you about how difficult their lives are, which doesn't make their work any better but makes you feel like a rat nonetheless. They'll get furious about rejections and demand you reconsider, or they'll get emotional and send you long letters about how bad you've made them feel. You wish these people all the best, but that doesn't mean you can give them what they want, because they want a lot. They want you to stake thousands of pounds and the company's reputation on their work, which you might just not like.
And desperate people seize upon anything resembling encouragement. I always held to the principle that you should be as civil and helpful as you could, but if you go beyond being dispassionately friendly, your life will not be your own.
Having the capacity to publish people and being encouraging is like having a small hamper of food and walking through a town where everyone is starving. You get mobbed. The only way to avoid being harried from all sides is to be discreet about it. Yes, you have food, but you keep it out of sight. Yes, you publish people, but you make it as clear as you possibly can that this is rare. It's the only way to avoid having every day taken up with people calling you and lamenting about how much they want what you can't give them.
Imagine if a legitimate publisher, which could only publish books they thought good enough that thousands of people would choose to read them over thousands of other books, gave the kind of promising encouragement PublishAmerica offers to every writer passing their way. They'd be unable to accept most of the manuscripts submitted, because they weren't good enough to gamble thousands of pounds on. What they would get would be enough phone calls and e-mails to crash the system, with people crying 'But you said you wanted to hear from new authors!'
Scammers, on the other hand, can harness that desperation. They'll tell you that they have the solution - spend more money, market yourself harder, buy their services. Emotionally speaking, they're rack-renting you.
This is why everyone says you should be heartened if you get a rejection letter praising your work. The first thing you learn as an editor is not to give false hopes, because false hopes create harassing callers. There's no way in a million years an experienced editor would praise something untruthfully: they'd be making a stick for their own back. It's also why you should look at how a supposed publisher is trying to make you feel with their publicity. If they're trying to make you feel welcome, then they're not going to judge your book on its merits, they're going to judge you on your willingness to put in money and effort that ought to come from them. Not every book will be equally welcome to a real publisher; that's inevitable. On the other hand, money is welcome whoever provides it.
This may all sound depressing, but there's actually a positive side to it. It explains a lot of things that writers find upsetting: the form rejections, the lack of feedback, the unwillingness of editors to talk on the phone, the general sense that they don't care about you. It's perfectly possible that they do, personally - I certainly felt very sorry for a lot of people I turned down - but professionally, they can't show it. They have to keep themselves out of the picture in case you start harassing them. If a publisher treats you coldly, it's more likely that it's because they've been stung once too often by pestering hopefuls than because they have anything against you. There's always the lurking fear that, if they act too warm and fluffy, they'll come into work the next day and find seven stalkers waiting for them in reception.
So, if you're a writer, what to do about it? Well, the first thing, as I've said, is be very careful of a publisher that issues an open welcome to all comers. If they're not worried about harassment, they're up to something worrying themselves. And do not give them any money whatsoever. (This does not include being a cheapskate about sending them a stamped envelope for return of your manuscript. That's buying something for yourself.)
But when approaching legitimate publishers, if you know this is how they'll be feeling, you can work with it. I've written a fairly jokey piece on what not to put in a covering letter (http://www.kitwhitfield.co.uk./publisherdating.html), which includes a sample letter in an appropriate style, and here are the things that will make a wary editor relax:
1. Sound calm. Present the facts without embellishment, pleading or other fanfares. Someone who gets worked up is more likely to be a problem.
2. Sound professional rather than personal. Unless it includes something that could be used to promote your book nationally or internationally, which will need to be incredibly interesting and unusual, your private life is not something they'll want to hear about. Telling a publisher about your life is asking them to feel emotionally involved with you, and editors only like their emotions being played upon by your fiction, not your correspondence.
3. Sound concise. Long-drawn-out exchanges are usually painful.
4. Sound friendly. A 'thank you for your time' or an 'I appreciate being considered' is very nice to hear.
Keep your chequebook chained in your pocket, a professional smile plastered on your face, and your fingers crossed behind your back. From there onwards, it's all up to you.
*I should probably say 'weblogging' as, in the same post, she objects to the word 'blog'. I don't have anything against it myself, but manners are manners and she said nice things about my site.
I don't know my way around the Blogger beta version, but you should be able to write a link 'by hand' like this:
This is a link to a website, so there.
Although you might need to be working in the 'source' view rather than the 'preview' (or whatever equivalent terms they use).
(The 'a' stands for 'anchor' and 'href' is contraction of 'hypertext reference', or so I'm told. A link by any other name...)
Interesting post. The 'discouraging' (or rather, 'not dangerously encouraging') stance adopted by legitimate publishers makes perfect sense, and it certainly has an effect on the easily-discouraged - although I suppose the easily-discouraged aren't really the problem!
Thanks for the advice! I tried that, but now it seems to be linking to something called 'website.com'... Sigh. There used to be a toolbar with buttons to click for links and formatting, but it's vanished. The world of technology is a strange and puzzling place. Still, much appreciation for the suggestion.
There's a quote from James Gunn, apparently: 'Anyone who can be discouraged from becoming a writer should be discouraged.' (Though I've seen a similar remark attributed to Gene Wolfe.) Easily-discouraged people aren't the problem for editors unless they start blaming you for discouraging them, which can happen, but it's a good rule of thumb when it comes to quality control. If you're easily discouraged, you'll give up at criticism rather than work on improving.
Besides, discouraging things still happen after you're published. People say you need a thick skin, but writers very often don't. I don't think I do, really. What keeps you going is not that you don't feel discouraged, but that feeling discouraged isn't enough to stop you.
Sorry, I didn't make that clear. You need to substitute the 'website.com' bit for the real address of the website you want to link to. Here are a couple of examples:
Everyone should know about Yog's Law.
As someone blogging about my last post said...
Do you see what I mean? The bits between the pointy brackets are the text that you want to turn into a link. The address between quotes after 'href=' should be the address you want the link to go to.
The old toolbar might have vanished because Blogger aren't supporting every kind of browser under the new system yet. Are you using Safari or Opera? Firefox might work better in the interim...?
Quite agree re: discouragement.
Alas, it's still not working! Oddly, I get the toolbar I usually use when I open it in Opera (previously I was using Internet Explorer), but when I try to use the link button, it publishes with no links saved. I think the site may be up to something. What's with this new system? I know I now automatically have to use the Beta Blogger instead of the old blogger, but ... oh, I don't know. Fiction is easier. My characters do what I tell them. Thank you for your help :-)
Hm, it looks to me like your hand-written links *are* working now - make sure you click Reload (or Refresh) after you've published the changes, to be sure you're not still seeing your browser's cached copy of the page.
I found this site, which talks about some of the unsolved problems in the new Blogger (although not in much detail).
Hmm, you're right. I did try reloading, but it's taking a while. Maybe once the new Blogger thing has been debugged life will get easier. Thanks for the link.
A friend sent me to a startup small press's site recently, and I cited all the reasons I thought they were dodgy--addressed authors rather than bookbuyers, talked vanity-press-ese, etc, and he goes, "Okay, I'll tell them, so they can change it." Umm, no, that wasn't the idea.
"I thought you wanted to help!" he said.
I didn't want to help them lure in authors, that's for sure. I thought I was helping my friend avoid them...
Yikes. Sounds like he had a basic faith in their good intentions despite their doubtful PR - which of course, is the faith that scammers depend on. It's funny how far a fake publisher has to go before some people will accept that they're up to no good.Post a Comment

The response from Cuban officials did not take anyone by surprise. Prominent Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez had been, once again, denied permission to leave her country after she was granted a visa by the Brazilian Embassy in January to attend a film festival. "I feel like a hostage kidnapped by someone who doesn't listen nor provide explanations. A government with a ski mask and a gun in a holster," tweeted Sánchez on Friday after the Cuban government denied her request to travel to Brazil. It was, according to the blogger, the 19th time Cuban officials have turned down her request to leave the island. As in the past, officials gave no reason for the rejection.
Brazilian filmmaker Dado Galvao announced Tuesday that he was postponing the premiere of the documentary "Connection Cuba-Honduras," a movie about press freedom in both countries, in solidarity with the Cuban blogger, who participated in the film. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who visited Cuba last week and declined to meet with Sánchez or any dissidents, spoke to reporters before Cuba denied the blogger permission to leave the country. "Brazil gave the visa to the blogger. The rest is not a matter for the Brazilian government," Rousseff said at the time.
Sánchez's work is well known outside Cuba. She has received several international awards, including Columbia's University's Maria Moors Cabot Award for excellence in Latin American reporting, and she blogs regularly for the U.S.-based Huffington Post. Sánchez also gained a measure of fame when President Barack Obama responded to a written questionnaire she sent to the White House in November 2009.
Sánchez has not only been denied permission to travel abroad but has suffered official harassment for her work. In early November 2009, Sánchez and two other independent Cuban bloggers were detained, harassed, and assaulted by state security agents on their way to a peaceful march in Havana. Sánchez has also been the victim of smear campaigns in Cuba's state media, which have described her as a "cybermercenary" at the service of foreign governments.
A vibrant and enthusiastic independent blogging community has emerged in Cuba in the past few years, according to CPJ research. The bloggers, who face severe legal, economic, and technological limitations, are mostly young and from a variety of professions. They critically examine the issues that Cubans face daily: food shortages, health care, education, housing problems, and the lack of Internet access, a 2009 CPJ special report found.
Free press advocates and Cuban journalists point to Sánchez as a pioneer in this evolving community. Sánchez, who started blogging in April 2007, was the first to write under her own byline. Her blog, Generación Y, and several other Cuban blogs are hosted by the German-based portal Desde Cuba (From Cuba), a place where, as its introduction says, "citizen journalists" can offer "opinions that don't have room in official Cuban outlets or any other publication that is conditioned by political requirements."
Rousseff's first visit to Cuba as president had raised expectations among some independent reporters, bloggers, and political dissidents that she would speak about human rights on the island. But the Brazilian leader stayed away from the topic, sticking instead to the trip's key mission of developing trade and boosting Cuba's economy. Sánchez wrote a blog entry prior to her visit, in which she expressed hope that Rousseff's behavior would be "consistent with the clamor for democracy, instead of opting for a complicit silence before a dictatorship." But Rousseff's visit learly showed that Latin American leaders are still reluctant to address Cuba's grave human rights violations when they travel there.

Lincoln's booth wasn't stuffed with new MKS's, MKT's, Navigators or any
other new cars. Nope. Lincoln brought out a half dozen classics from the
company's glory days. This 1956 Mark II was a design benchmark in its day.
The largely handmade luxury coupe packed a 285 hp 366 cid V8 under its long
hood and was owned by at least two of Hollywood's most elite—Frank Sinatra
and Elvis Presley. The goal of this car, according to the placard in the
booth was to "create the most luxurious, carefully-crafted production car
in America." And that makes us wonder if the folks behind today's Lincoln
have the drive to recapture the company's former glory. We sure hope so.

Its been just over a week since the widely successful launch of Sony's new handheld Playstation Vita. We've been spending hours on our new shiny piece of tech and in the process have collated a load of tips, tricks and how-to's. Were here to do all the boring research so you can spend more time enjoying the best mobile gaming experience money can buy.
1. Customisation is king.
If you want to personalise your PS Vita you can. Much like an iPad or iPhone you can press and hold any of the app icons and move them around. You can't make group folders, but you can move all similar apps to the same screen and keep your new PS Vita nice and tidy. You can even change the background colour or image by tapping the theme icon in the bottom right of each frame. Get creative and design your own background images (which you can transfer to your PS Vita via PS3)
2. Let there be light.
Unlike the PS3, the PS Vita has been designed form the ground-up to multi-task – so if you want to change the brightness on the stunning OLED screen mid-game you can. Press and hold the PS button and a quick-access menu will appear which enables you to adjust the brightness and even set up a custom soundtrack – so you can listen to the delights of the Prodigy whilst thundering around New York on Wipeout 2048.
3. Peace of mind.
Like any device there's always a chance than you might drop it or worse break it. Now we can't prevent that, but we help you save your precious save data. Connect you PS Vita to your PS3 via the USB cable provided, open up the content managed on the you PS Vita and select the the Back Up option to back up all your PS Vita's game data and gain a little extra peace of mind.
4. Say cheese!
One of the coolest features we've stumbled upon with the PS Vita is the ability to take some screenshots of your in-game achievements. All you have to do is press the Start and PS button at the same time and if you done it right you'll see the screen flash white and will hear the snap from the camera.
5. PSP games with 2012 lick of paint.
As you may well know the PS Vita is backwards compatible with over 250 PSP games. But did you know you can make them look better? Well if you load up a PSP game you can press and hold the touchscreen it will bring up a sub menu which allows you to enable "bilinear filtering" and "color space" which will give your classic games a new lick of paint and smooth out some of those 2005 jaggies. Experiment with your PSP games to find your favorite combination.
6. The Panel of your dreams.
Not only can you customise your background, but you can add a custom panels to add a little bit of flair to your PS Vita. To change your PSN panel, navigate to Settings, PSN, Account Information, and Panel to choose from a wide assortment of artwork from first and third-party games.
7. Remote Play goodness.
One of the most exciting features on PS Vita is Remote Play. With this new feature you can log into to your PS3 remotely to access a video, start a Playstation store download and even play games. Remote Play is still in its infancy and further down the line you'll be able to play full PS3 games via your PS Vita. While that's not here just yet, the PS Vita is compatible with any PSone games you may have on your hard drive, along with a handful of classic PSN games such as PixelJunk Monsters, PixelJunk Eden, and Peggle.
8. Bluetooth is the business.
The PS Vita supports high-quality stereo Bluetooth audio output – so if want to chat to friends or give a bit of trash talk you can. In the Settings menu, touch Network and Bluetooth Settings and you'll be able to pair your headphones to your new PS Vita.
9. Let there be silence.
Some people like soft jazz, others prefer silence. If you want to turn off PS Vita's toe-tappin' menu music, you'll find the option in Settings > Sound & Display > System Music. While you're there, you'll notice an AVLS option. This limits the maximum volume when using headphones — perfect if you share your PS Vita with a little one.

Headin' Back to Maine
I was musing that if I talked to a genie a few weeks ago...
"Excuse me, umm, sir. How am I going to do at Western States?"
"You will not return home with a buckle," he might reply.
I definitely would have been shocked and probably not even considered it wasn't the result of a DNF, but of the race being canceled. Hee hee.
But to recap from where I left off last: After my run on Friday, I took a nap and my brother and I met up with our old friend Brooke who lives in Tahoe City. Great to see her as it's been a while, and after catching up a little we hopped on some bikes (she has a full arsenal) and rode about 8-9 miles to Squaw Valley for the WS dinner.
As we were locking up the bikes, a woman in a truck asked us if we were going to the dinner. Turns out she was Nikki Kimball's pacer, and she introduced us to Nikki. Didn't talk with her long but it was nice to meet her.
Unfortunately, it was a bit crowded and the line for grub was long, so we opted to skip out and get pizza and drinks at one of the nearby restaurants (sorry I missed you there Damon, see you in a few weeks). After eating, we biked back and hung out on Brooke's patio which overlooks Lake Tahoe and chilled for a bit while enjoying a few more drinks.
Biked 17 miles @ ???/pace.
Paved bike paths.
Slightly hilly.
Upper 70s, sunny.
Shorts, short sleeved shirt.
On Saturday, my brother and I headed back over to Squaw Valley. I had forgotten what time the flag raising ceremony on top of Emigrant Pass was, but it turns out we got there just in time. Cool! I ended up talking with the brother and sister duo of Paul and Kathleen Braun in the parking lot and hung out with them on the summit. Cool folks. Kathleen was to pace Paul, who was going to run the Grand Slam. Kathleen herself is also an ultrarunner and one of the few dozen people to finish the Kettle Morraine 100 in some very insane weather conditions. They'll both be at the Vermont 100 in a few weeks and we've made plans to exchange microbrews when we see each other again.
While waiting with the group to go up, I was privileged to meet and talk briefly with Tim Twietmeyer and Cowman A-Moo-Ha, two well known WS veterans. The group then headed up and I ran (well, power-hiked) up with Chris Wight from Australia. Really nice guy, and I learned a lot about the "land down under" after barraging him with questions.
Four and a half miles and 2550' of vertical later we were at the top. My brother took the sky tram up and met us there. While the smoke didn't seem that bad down at Squaw Valley, it still looked VERY thick to the west where the course ran. It actually got worse during the time we were up there and nearly totally obscured the views of even some of the closer ridges. It was reassuring that the race officials had indeed made the right call.
After the ceremony, I flew down the mountain, almost literally. I don't think I've ever run that fast downhill for that long in my life. Not exactly sure of what my time was down, but I think I covered the 4.5 miles in a little over half an hour. That was fun. Was pleased with my downhill form and it was good reassurance that I'm becoming stronger on the downhills, though I still think I have some work to do for downhill trails that are more technical.
Ran 9.0 miles @ ???/pace.
Dirt roads.
Insanely hilly.
Upper 80s, sunny, smoky.
Shorts, singlet.
After I got back down we headed back to Brooke's and went for a swim in Lake Tahoe. Water was cold, but refreshing. Grabbed lunch, chilled in the hammocks in her backyard, and then bid farewells to Brooke and headed over to Reno for the night due to my brother's early flight. Looking forward to getting back to Maine, doing some quick crash work in my training for the Vermont 100, and also relaxing a lot when I'm not running.
I'll post pics soon.

My guess is you'll do well at the Vermont 100 as you'll be rested up.
I've never been out west but my parents were at Lake Tahoe last year with my nephew. They rented a small white compact car for the visit and after taking photos of the lake the three of them walked back to the car. My mom wasn't paying attention and when she got to the white car she opened the back door and got in. Problem was it wasn't her rental car. The elderly couple in the front seat were quite surprised.

National Monument
Agate Fossil Beds
Harrison, NE
During the 1890s, scientists rediscovered what the Lakota Sioux already knew—bones preserved in one of the world's most significant Miocene Epoch mammal sites. Yet, this place called "Agate" is a landscape that reflects many influences—from early animals roaming the valleys and hills, to tribal nations calling the High Plains home, to explorers passing through or settling in the American West.
National Historic Trail
Various States CA,CO,ID,KS,MO,NE,NV,OR,UT,WY
Follow in the footsteps of over 250,000 emigrants who traveled to the gold fields and rich farmlands of California during the 1840s and 1850s: the greatest mass migration in American history. The California National Historic Trail is over 5,000 miles long and covers portions of 10 states. Step into history along more than 1,000 miles of ruts and traces from travelers and their overland wagons.
National Monument of America
Beatrice, NE
With the promise of Free Land, the Homestead Act of 1862 enticed millions to cultivate the frontier. Families, immigrants, women, and freed slaves flooded 10 percent of the nation's land to chase their American Dream. American Indian cultures and natural environments gave way to diverse settlement, agricultural success, and industrial advancement—building our nation and changing the land forever.
National Historic Trail
Lewis & Clark
Sixteen States: IA,ID,IL,IN,KS,KY,MO,MT,NE,ND,OH,OR,PA,SD,WA,WV
The Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail is approximately 4,900 miles long, extending from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the mouth of the Columbia River, near present day Astoria, Oregon. It follows the historic outbound and inbound routes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as well as the preparatory section from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Wood River, Illinois.
National Recreational River
Yankton, SD,NE
Imagine a 100-mile stretch of North America's longest river, a vestige of the untamed American West. The Missouri National Recreational River is where imagination meets reality. Two free flowing stretches of the Missouri make up the National Park. Relive the past by making an exploration of the wild, untamed and mighty river that continues to flow as nature intended.
National Historic Trail
Mormon Pioneer
Various States IL,IA,NE,UT,WY
Explore the Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail across five states to see the 1,300-mile route traveled by Mormons who fled Nauvoo, Illinois, to the Great Salt Lake Valley in 1846-1847.
National Scenic River
Valentine, NE
The 76 miles of the Niobrara National Scenic River winds through dramatic bluffs, incredible wildlife diversity, gorgeous waterfalls, world-class fossil resources, and plenty of floating fun for the whole family. Less than 1/4 of one percent of US rivers are designated under the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System. Come discover why this prairie river has earned this honor.
National Historic Trail
Various States ID,KS,MO,NE,OR,WA,WY
Imagine yourself an emigrant headed for Oregon: would promises of lush farmlands and a new beginning lure you to leave home and walk for weeks? More than 2,000 miles of trail ruts and traces can still be seen along the Oregon National Historic Trail in six states and serve as reminders of the sacrifices, struggles, and triumphs of early American settlers.
National Historic Trail
Pony Express
Various States CA,CO,KS,MO,NE,NV,UT,WY
It is hard to believe that young men once rode horses to carry mail from Missouri to California in the unprecedented time of only 10 days. This relay system along the Pony Express National Historic Trail in eight states was the most direct and practical means of east-west communications before the telegraph.
National Monument
Scotts Bluff
Gering, NE
Towering 800 feet above the North Platte River, Scotts Bluff has served as a landmark for peoples from Native Americans to emigrants on the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails to modern travelers. Rich with geological and paleontological history as well as human history, there is much to discover while exploring the 3,000 acres of Scotts Bluff National Monument.

[MEGAFRAME] 2010: MEGAFRAME was successfully completed (see also MEGAFRAME Final Report , MEGAFRAME D6.4 Laboratory fluorescence microscopy demonstrator ), but work using the MEGAFRAME32 (32x32) and MEGAFRAME128 (128x160) devices has continued, as you can also see from the Publications section.
MEGAFRAME32 is being distributed by Photon Force Ltd (contact:
In parallel, the follow-up FP7 ICT SPADnet project (www.spadnet.eu ) has been launched, dedicated to the use of SPAD arrays in medical imaging, most notably Positron Emission Tomography (PET), building on the MEGAFRAME scientific and technological achievements.
[MEGAFRAME] April 2010: MEGAFRAME was selected as one of "12 outstanding Commission-funded FET projects" showcased at the European Parliament in Strasbourg within the Science beyond Fiction exhibition, 20-21 April 2010, organised to introduce Members of the European Parliament to Future and Emerging Technologies (FET). E. Charbon [and J. Arlt] attended and presented a 3 part poster (poster 1 - poster 2 - poster 3).
[MEGAFRAME] Oct. 2009: MEGAFRAME reports on the performance of an array of 32x32 plano-convex 50μm pitch microlenses (see LEOS 2009), fabricated by co-polymer casting in a photoresist replica mold, which have been characterized by a specially developed Optical Test Bench. The measured detection sensitivity increase reaches up to a factor of 35. This concentration factor is, to the best of our knowledge, presently the highest reported to date for any array of SPADs.
[MEGAFRAME] Sept. 2009: S. Donati, UNIPV, has been invited to present a talk at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Laser Technologies (ALT09), 26 Sept - 1 Oct 2009, Antalya, Turkey, and selected the MEGAFRAME project as a topic.
[MEGAFRAME] June-Sept. 2009: MEGAFRAME reports on the design and characterisation of 32x32 TDC/TAC plus single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixel arrays implemented in a 130nm imaging process, to create a single chip TCSPC sensor (see the IISW, CICC and ESSDERC Publications). To the best of our knowledge, this work constitutes the largest single-chip array of fully integrated TDCs/TACs so far reported. Each TDC/TAC-SPAD ensemble measures only 50x50μm2. It is thus one of the smallest ever demonstrated with deep sub-nanosecond time resolution.
[European R&D] July 2009: The European Commission has explicitly included single-photon and smart pixel based time-correlated imaging R&D into the ICT Call 5 Photonics 2009 topics (see EC Photonics unit website). This is fully in line with MEGAFRAME's pioneering results, which proved that single photon arrays can indeed be implemented in deep sub-micron CMOS for time-correlated as well as intensity applications.
[MEGAFRAME] July 2009: MEGAFRAME reports on the a new low noise single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS imaging process (SSE 2009). To the best of our knowledge, the DCR (Dark Count Rate) per unit area achieved in these devices is the lowest ever reported in deep sub-micron CMOS SPADs.
[MEGAFRAME] May 2009: MEGAFRAME reports on the real-time hardware (FPGA) implementation of a new integration based FLIM lifetime calculation algorithm, called IEM, suitable for SPAD arrays (see ISCAS 2009). This approach enables direct lifetime calculation in parallel for every pixel. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first system that can generate real-time video-rate fluorescence lifetime images.
[MEGAFRAME] April 2009: MEGAFRAME was selected as one of the exhibits of the FET09 Science beyond Fiction conference, 21-23 April 2009, Prague. E. Charbon and R. Henderson attended and presented a 3 part poster (poster 1 - poster 2 - poster 3).
[MEGAFRAME] Jan. 2009: Dr. Robert Henderson, UNIED, has been invited to present a talk at the Rank Prize mini-symposium on Single-Photon Detectors, 12-15 Jan 2009, Grasmere, Lake District, UK.
[MEGAFRAME] May 2008: MEGAFRAME reports on the direct integration for lifetime extraction method (IEM), a new, simple, and hardware-only fluorescence-lifetime-imaging microscopy (FLIM) proposed to implement on-chip lifetime extractions (JOSA A 2008).
July/Aug. 2007: MEGAFRAME reports on the first implementation of a Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) in 130 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology - see also the JSTQE paper in the "Publications" section.

Air Ambulance America has been arranging medical transprtation since 1983. We are highly experienced and professional. Our team of air ambulance transportation specialists arrange medical flights which are staffed by flight nurses and paramedics. For your safety, all chartered aircrafts are operated by FAA-licensed air carriers. The aircrafts are approved for medical flight operations, and include state-of-the-art medical and Support Equipment onboard. Air Ambulance America gives the highest level of attention and support to all patients, from Basic to Critical Care:
Including, but not limited to: Burn and wound patients, Traumatic brain injuries, Spinal cord injuries, Stroke, Cancer, Hospice, Nursing Home, Fragile Patients, Heart and Transplant Patients, Organ Transplants, among many others.
Medical Team Members are Trained in Flight Physiology. These include Registered Nurses- RN, Respiratory Therapists (RT) and Registered Flight Paramedics on board. We can arrange to have a Doctor on the flight upon request. Any need or request can be met by our expertly trained individuals.
During any evacuation due to an earthquake or any situation needing disaster relief, patients need advanced air ambulance services not just limited to aeromedical, but critical care ground transportation as well. Our staff are people you can trust with years of experience and have been active in the air ambulance life flight industry since the year 1983. A ground medical transport crew and critical care med team can include paramedics and nurses who have medical flight training. Crews often consist of flight nurses and flight paramedics that are sometimes also respiratory therapists -- but not flight surgeons or certified air medical examiners that work medical transport crew. Air charter, air leasing or charter services do not always include ground ambulance service or ground transportation service. Medical care for transportation, sometimes covered by insurance, is inside an aircraft such as a lear jet or king air. Flights that are international ambulances by air, particularly to and from Mexico, use the terms evacuation and repatriation in reference to flights sometimes flown on air medical aircrafts. For years, both the ambulance and the medical team have been referred to as air med in the aeromedical industry.
We generally do not arrange helicopter service. Flight escort service usually refers to a critical care trained medical staff member usually with years of experience that accompanies a patient in a scheduled commercial aircraft. Aviation medicine specific to a trauma medevac has a specific protocol for a real travel emergency. All air medical transport services provide certain types of life support whether it is BLS or ACLS. Usually the protocol for a patient with an emergency while on a critical care air ambulance transport services is to land the aircraft and dial 911. Worldwide emergency air medical transportation is arranged with aircraft bases all over the world, although the vast majority of emergency air ambulances are by helicopter. In the air ambulance indistry, each base is sometimes referred to as a lifeport and each medflight can be eqipped with advanced aeromedical(usually referring to ACLS equipment onboard an air ambulance). Resources and references to air ambulance services include the handbook, which explains the nature of air medical flight missions. To request medical flights for any aviation services in directories, the following terms refer to medical ambulances that transport patients in the air: careflight, health, and charter services. We would like to give thanks and our patients are thankful for the opportunity given to have transplants by their organ donors which we believe is good Kharma. Organ donation truly saves lives.

The Way of the Shaman®
Shamanic Journeying, Power, and Healing
The Basic Workshop in Core Shamanism (Weekend)
During the Basic experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal, near-universal, and common methods of the shaman to enter nonordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.
What participants are saying...
Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. They are also provided with methods for journeying to meet and study with their own individual spirit helpers in nonordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet.

Julia Cameron
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Julia Cameron (born 4 March 1948) is an American teacher, author, artist, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, composer, and journalist, most famous for her book The Artist's Way (1992).
The Artist's Way (1992)[edit]
- The Artist's Way : A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
- Anger is meant to be acted on. It is not meant to be acted out. Anger points the direction. We are meant to use anger as fuel to take the actions we need to move where our anger points us. With a little thought, we can usually translate the message that our anger is sending us.
- I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.
- Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
- Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough — that we should try again.
- What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
- Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite — getting something down.
- Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
- Creativity — like human life itself — begins in darkness. We need to acknowledge this. All too often, we think only in terms of light: "And then the lightbulb went on and I got it!" It is true that insights may come to us as flashes. It is true that some of these flashes may be blinding. It is, however, also true that such bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary.
- All too often too often we try to push, pull, outline and control our ideas instead of letting them grow organically. The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.
Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.
The Right to Write (1998)[edit]
- The Right to Write : An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life (Tarcher, 1998; ISBN 1-58542-009-3
- For most of us, the seductive and unstated part of "if I had enough time" is the unstated sentence "to hear myself think." In other words, we imagine that if we had time we would quiet our more shallow selves and listen to a deeper flow of inspiration. Again, this is a myth that lets us off the hook— if I wait for enough time to listen, I don't have to listen now, I don't have to take responsibility for what is trying to bubble up today.
Blessings (1998)[edit]
- Blessings: Prayers and Declarations for a Heartful Life (Tarcher, 1998; ISBN 0-87477-906-5
- Life is a creative endeavor. It is active, not passive. We are the yeast that leavens our lives into rich, fully baked loaves. When we experience our lives as flat and lackluster, it is our consciousness that is at fault. We hold the inner key that turns our lives from thankless to fruitful. That key is "Blessing."
- Focused on our good, focused on our abundance we naturally attract more of the same. This is spiritual law. Our consciousness is creative. What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?
- When I listen to love, I am listening to my true nature. When I express love, I am expressing my true nature. All of us love. All of us do it more and more perfectly. The past has brought us both ashes and diamonds. In the present we find the flowers of what we've planted and the seeds of what we are becoming. I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.
- The growth of one blesses all. I am committed to grow in love. All that I touch, I leave in love. I move through this world consciously and creatively.
- Love is not love if it compelled by reason and driven by logic — love exists in spite of those things, not because of them. It is a emotion which needs no fuel to fire it or oxygen to feed it; if you have to look for the why, then stop looking; it was never there at all.
- I honor my importance and the importance of others. None of us is dispensable, none of us is replacable. In the chorus of life each of us brings a True Note, a perfect pitch that adds to the harmony of the whole. I act creatively and consciously to actively endorse and encourage the expansion of those whose lives I touch. Believing in the goodness of each, I add to the goodness of all. We bless each other even in passing.

European Elder
Sambucus nigra
Hardy deciduous shrub tolerant of many soils and situations, including windy and maritime locations (tolerant of salt winds). Known as a 'medicine chest' this is an extremely useful plant to have in the garden, although the leaves are poisonous. The flowers can be eaten raw, dipped in batter and fried, used to flavour other stewed fruits, and to make a lemonade or sparkling wine. The berries can be used raw or cooked, fresh or dried, to add colour and flavour to other fruit preserves, or made into wine. The inner bark, flowers and leaves have a myriad of medicinal uses. In the garden the flowers are fragrant and attractive to insects, and the berries can help to entice birds away from your target fruit crops. The flowers can also be added to compost heaps to help activate the decomposition process. The leaves can be made into an insecticidal spray or powdered and dusted around the garden. They can also be rubbed onto skin as a mosquito repellent. Different parts of the plant yield various colour dyes, and the mature wood is white and fine-grained, easily cut and polished, and therefore prized for making small items such as toys. All this from one plant! Plants need some moisture to get established but are drought hardy once older. Sun or part shade. Height to 6m and suckers can spread to 6m, but the whole plant can be cut to ground level if desired and will regrow well. PB8.

William Woods University is offering Jefferson City area residents the opportunity to pursue an associate of arts in liberal studies (AA) without quitting work. The program will begin with an orientation at 6 p.m. Jan. 27 at the Jefferson City site, 919 Wildwood.
Prospective students are encouraged to contact the university's Graduate & Adult Studies program prior to then, but walk-ins will be accepted. Call 1-800-995-3199 or contact WWU by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The AA consists of a 64-hour, 21-course program of general education. Completion will qualify a student for admission into a degree-completion program of the university.
Courses are facilitated by practicing professionals. Classes meet one night a week for four hours and courses normally run six weeks. The program makes it possible for a person with a full-time job to complete a degree while remaining employed.
"William Woods University is a leader when it comes to designing quality programs for nontraditional adult students. Everything we do is specifically designed to help adults succeed in reaching their goals as efficiently as possible," said Sherry McCarthy, vice president and academic dean.
Non-traditional students reflect a growing national trend as more full-time working adults realize the value of maintaining a sustained involvement in higher education. Many adult students recognize that they need additional education either to advance in their current positions or to change careers.
In addition to the AA, William Woods offers several other Graduate & Adult Studies programs, including the ACCESS program of general education, a B.S. in management (BSM), a BSM with human resources emphasis and a B.S. in paralegal studies.
Graduate programs include a master of business administration (MBA), MBAs with accounting, agribusiness, health management or human resources emphasis, a master of education (M.Ed.) in administration, curriculum/instruction or athletics/activities administration and a specialist of education (Ed.S.) in school administration or curriculum leadership.
William Woods can tailor any of its programs for a particular business or community. More information is available on the William Woods web site at TheWoods.edu/evening.

MRS 2000 Review – Why You Can't Live Without it.Saturday, April 24th, 2010
Most people know that food, water and oxygen are essential elements of health, but very few are aware that magnetic resonance stimulation (MRS), which is also called pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), are equally important and vital for survival. In fact both the Russian and U.S. space programs use MRS in every space and shuttle launch. Also, several zero field studies have been confirmed on earth that validates the need for MRS.
So why is it that most people have not heard of MRS (or PEMF) therapy? Part of the answer is that we take it for granted that the earth provides us with natural pulsed magnetic energies and by the very nature of living on earth, we are continuously immersed in the earth's natural fields. Just like a fish in water doesn't realize it needs water until it is taken out, the realization of the vital importance of MRS was not truly embraced until man went out into space.
But this was discovered over 30 years ago. And magnetic resonance therapy is just starting to catch on and gaining acceptance in the mainstream alternative therapy community.
The reason for the recent popularity in MRS is threefold. First, we are simply not getting enough of the good earth based frequencies. This is partly due to the statistic that the average person spends 90% of his or her time indoors isolated and insulated (at least partially) from this healthy earth based pulsed magnetic fields. Also the problem is compounded by the fact that we wear rubber shoes, drive in metal cars with rubber tires, travel in metal trains and planes and work, live and play in structures made of concrete and steel. These artificial structures create a shielding effect that reduces the magnetic resonance that the human metabolism so vitally depends on.
The second reason for the recent surge in demand for MRS is that the earth's magnetic field has been sharply declining over the past 100-300 years. In fact, the magnetic strength of the earth is only about half of what it was 300 years ago. This decline is most likely the result of the earth transitioning through a polar reversal (in the next 2000 years according to some experts).
The third and final reason PEMF is so essential and needed in our current times is that we are being continuously bombarded by unhealthy and unnatural pulsed electromagnetic fields from cell phones, computers, microwaves, televisions, etc.
Fortunately, there is a solution to this magnetic deficiency syndrome. The MRS 2000 is the only earth based PEMF device that gives the user a relaxing bath in natural earth based PEMF.
The results are more energy, better sleep, improved mental focus, reduction in pain and inflammation, prevention of illness, enhanced mood and better relaxation.

They open Wednesday at 2:30 against the 8-12 Wendover Wildcats. The only common opponents for the Bucks and Wildcats is Wasatch Academy, to whom the Wildcats split two games and the Bucks blasted 60-27.
If they win, they play Escalante, to whom they lost 70-45 way back in December, or Christian Heritage, the number one seed from Region 17.
Against the Pirates, junior Daniel Torres was on fire, tossing in 28, including six threes. Joseph Weatherford chipped in 18 and Connor Frost, Dalton Rogers and Cory Eardley all pitched in nine. Chris Larsen contributed eight points off the bench.
My daughter plays a game where she tries to tie two people together in as few connections as possible. Let's play with some folks who have ties to San Juan County and who have achieved great things lately. Here are just a few.
Colten Huskey, of Dolores County High School in Dove Creek, won the 2A 135-pound state wrestling title in Colorado Saturday. Huskey, a junior, won 7-2 in the finals to close the season 36-1 and win his first state championship.
Huskey has lost three times in his career. His only loss this year was to Aaron Butler, the four time state champion from Monticello, who triumphed 10-4. Colten's aunt, Lora Huskey, is a resident of Monticello, and his dad supplies the new pots on Monticello's Main Street.
The Parowan High School boys basketball team finished second in the State 2A Tournament, losing to Manti, 58-49. This same Parowan team ended San Juan's excellent 2008 season, upsetting the Broncos 57-55 in overtime to open the playoffs.
The Parowan coach is Monty Jones, who grew up in Blanding and played for San Juan High, the son of long time San Juan coach, the late Dennis Jones. The younger Jones is in the record books for scoring 57 points, including ten treys, in a 1996 game. Jones is in his third year coaching at Parowan.
Manti's coach for the past 10 years is Mark Hugentobler, who played sports for Monticello High. He began his coaching and teaching career at Monticello High and coached the Bucks to their only state championship in 1994. Hugentobler took the head basketball job at Manti in 1997.
With his most recent state title, Hugentobler joins an elite group of coaches (21) with three or more state basketball titles, and is one of eight who have won championships at two schools.
Of these coaching milestones, Hugentobler said, "I've been fortunate to be able to work with some great players. Great players make great coaches. I think more about the four that got away. The first was in Monticello in 1993. A first round loss put us in the consolation bracket. Then we won the last three by 20. Tournament experience cost us a real shot there.
"The second was my fourth year in Manti. We lost the championship game at the buzzer after four missed free throws. A year later, we lost a great opportunity in the semifinal game, when we squandered a 14-point lead.
"The hardest was four years ago against Parowan, who played their best game of the year. The officiating was terrible. Afterwards I found out that the official from Milford 'wasn't going to let Manti win'. Words from his own mouth. He said it to the principal of Beaver High, who is now my assistant principal.
"The neatest record for me really isn't a record. I have been able to coach three of my boys and all three have played major roles on State Championship teams.
Another connection: Manti's last loss of the season, before winning 10 straight and the title, came on February 2 at the hands of the San Juan Broncos in Blanding, 68-66. Bronco head coach Ryan Nielson played for Hugentobler in Monticello before transferring to San Juan, where he won a state title with the 1992 Broncos, coached by Dennis Jones.
In that February loss for Manti, the Broncos came back from a 14 point deficit. The Broncos won after David Hugentobler missed two free throws with three seconds left and was called for a foul and a technical foul on the rebound, which the Broncos turned into four points and the win.
"I believe our composure (even though we lost) was critical to our success" said the coach. "David's passion has always been his biggest strength as well as his Achilles heel. His ability to control that passion has been a long and arduous process. It has been worth it."
"Our selflessness was the key to our success," Hugentobler continues. "I've never asked a boy to do what I asked David to do. He had been the leading scorer on EVERY team he's played on since the 3rd grade. He would have been this year too, had we not made some adjustments. I don't believe our team would have been as good as it was.
"His willingness to give up personal glory helped our team. As a result of this leadership, we had different boys step up in each game."
In the girls 5A state basketball final, Skyline defeated American Fork, 60-56. The young Lady Cavemen (Cavewomen?) were paced by several players, including Makenzie Moea'i. Moea'i, a sophomore, greatly aided her team in the championship game with 11 rebounds and 12 points. She is the daughter of the former Danette Coleman, who played basketball and volleyball at Monticello High School. Danette's father, Richard Coleman grew up in Dove Creek and surely knows the Huskeys.
Finally, Whitehorse High School goes into this week's 1A boys state tournament as the favorite. Whitehorse's coach? Chad Shumway, who also played basketball for Dennis Jones and the San Juan Broncos.

Landslide Hazard Information
BDS regulates and reviews construction and land division projects in areas of potential landslide hazards. Regulations administered by BDS that provide requirements for development on steep and/or sensitive slopes are in City of Portland codes: Title 24 Building Regulations and Title 33 Zoning Code, as well as the Oregon State Structural Specialty Code [Section 1803].
Geotechnical engineers and technicians in the Site Development section of the Bureau review proposals for construction activities on steeply sloped sites, sites located in environmental overlay zones, sites located in "Potential Landslide Hazard Areas" and sites located in Special Plan Districts. Land Divisions in these locations are required to provide geotechnical engineering reports prior to approval of any lot division.
Here are links to two helpful handouts about that process:
Permit applications for commercial and residential development on steep slopes requires a geotechnical report. The report must include an evaluation of potential geologic and seismic hazards, including slope instability, and provide recommendations for mitigating the hazard. Site Development staff assigned to these permit applications, review landslide inventory maps prepared by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAM), the geotechnical report, and the permit drawings.
BDS works closely with other professionals in our regional government to respond to reports of hazardous landslide conditions and emergencies. Here is a link to the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management's website that provides helpful links to residents whom would like to view the DOGAMI landslide inventory maps of the Portland Metro area - http://www.portlandoregon.gov/pbem/53935.

Wildflowers In Perth
Environment Minister Donna Faragher today officially opened the 2009 http://www.perthperth.com/kingspark.htm Festival under the theme Nature Inspiring Art. This years festival showcases the spectacular displays of Western Australian wildflowers found within the States Botanic Garden and how they have inspired a range of artistic productions. Western Australian artists will demonstrate their skills and nature-inspired art by school students will be on display. Other artists will be conducting creative hands-on workshops and display their artworks in the Botanic Garden.
There are many ways to celebrate our environment through this years Kings Park Festival, with free guided walks and local artists on hand demonstrating their nature-inspired art works, Mrs Faragher said. Visitors to the festival will have the opportunity to connect with Kings Park through a number of interactive events, including a night stalk through the bushland; bird and wildflower guided walks; and gardening demonstrations and presentations by Kings Park horticultural staff. The Minister said Kings Park and Botanic Gardens had an important scientific role as a world-renowned centre for botanical research, plant development and the conservation of endangered species.
The festival includes a varied program of free entertainment and activities, including the magical Lotterywest Wild Fairyland Festival on Sunday, September 20; and the Festival Marketplace on the Queens Birthday long weekend, which includes indigenous Dreamtime storytelling, craft and gardening stalls, the Friends of Kings Park plant sale, and free entertainment and music.
The 2009 Kings Park Festival ends on September 28

This is one of the outfits I wore over the Easter long weekend. This is my favourite top that I've ever owned; I bought it last year and posted it here. I love it because of the vibrant bright blue, the little design on the sleeves, and the statement bow which all make it very girly and unique. However, I don't actually wear it particularly often because I haven't got many plain skirts and I usually wear dresses. I think I should change this. My favourite top definitely deserves much more use! I recently got my black skirt (and my green skirt from my last post) hemmed so I'm getting a lot more use out of them. I can't believe how many outfits I can make with those two skirts; it's opened up a whole new realm of possibilities. Another versatile item is my new bag which I bought for my birthday. I've used it every single day this week and it goes with absolutely everything. I love it so much! Also, the shoes; I love how often I'm told that they closely resemble the Marc Jacobs Daisy. As for the hair bow, I thought a touch of red would stand out and work well; I also randomly felt like mixing spots and stripes which I'm seeing more of lately. This outfit came together by combining a number of my favourite items. For an unemployed person, I've had an extremely busy week. I believe, that after a difficult few months, my life might finally be getting better; even on the employment front things are potentially looking up. So much of it is associated with self belief; giving myself a chance, putting myself out there, taking chances, challenging myself despite extreme self doubt and realising just how much I've underestimated myself especially over the past few years. I don't want to say too much about it because I'm still in the initial stages but I should have a lot to say once everything is finalised.
…oh and how amazing is 'Let Her Go' by Passenger. I can't stop listening to it.
