General Information
Tunisia, officially the Republic of Tunisia, is a country in North Africa, covering 165,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles). Its northernmost point, Cape Angela, is the northernmost point on the African continent. It is bordered by Algeria to the west and southwest, Libya to the southeast, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north and east. Tunisia's population was estimated to be just under 11.93 million in 2016. Tunisia's name is derived from its capital city, Tunis, which is located on Tunisia's northeast coast.
Geographically, Tunisia contains the eastern end of the Atlas Mountains and the northern reaches of the Sahara desert. Much of the rest of the country's land is fertile soil. Its 1,300 kilometers (810 miles) of coastline includes the African conjunction of the western and eastern parts of the Mediterranean Basin and, by means of the Sicilian Strait and Sardinian Channel, features the African mainland's second and third nearest points to Europe after Gibraltar.
Among Tunisia's tourist attractions are its cosmopolitan capital city of Tunis, the ancient ruins of Carthage, the Muslim and Jewish quarters of Djerba, and coastal resorts outside of Monastir. According to The New York Times, Tunisia is "known for its golden beaches, sunny weather and affordable luxuries."
Places To Go
Tunisia is a country in Northern Africa, that is situated on the Mediterranean Sea and where the fish on your plate is always fresh. It is an ideal sun-sand-sea holiday location, where each tourist can also discover country's amazing heritage and get a great diversity of entertaining activities. You can visit the hidden streets of bustling Tunis, go sleep under the stars and enjoy the sun in the paradise island calling Jerba. Moreover, on the top, Tunisia is a good value for travellers from Europe and US, because of the moderate prices on every everything, from café latte for 1$ to a ride on Uber under 5$.
One of Tunisia's most photogenic buildings with its bulky walls, the Ribat in Monastir looks out to the harbour. Originally part of a string of coastal forts, this Ribat is one of the few still standing and has been grandly preserved. But it is now a tourist attraction rather than the town's defense. This beautiful relic is a definite highlight for history lovers and a famed landmark that deserves to be on every Tunisia to-do list.
El Djemh
The walls of the mighty Roman amphitheater of El Djem dwarf the surrounding modern town. This incredibly well preserved Roman relic is one of the best examples of amphitheater architecture left standing in the world, reminding of Rome's once grand grip across North Africa. You can still walk the corridors under the arena, just like the gladiators did. Or, climb up to the top seating tiers and sit staring across the arena imagining the battles that took place below.
If you're looking for the picture-perfect beach escape, then the island of Djerba checks all the right boxes. The main island town of Houmt Souk has an old town district that's a muddle of whitewashed houses. It is an attraction in itself, with plenty of shopping opportunities for those who want to get off the beach. But it's those sandy strips of shoreline out of town that are the island's most popular highlight. Pristine and trimmed by date palms, the beaches are relaxing, get-away-from-it-all settings where summer daydreams are made.
Sidi Bou Said
Impossibly cute, Sidi Bou Said is a cliff-top village with petite dimensions that seem to have fallen off an artist's canvas. Unsurprisingly, artists have feted this little hamlet for decades. The whitewashed alleyways, wrought iron window frames and colourful blue doors are Tunisian village architecture at their finest, while the Mediterranean backdrop is the cherry on top.
Once Rome's major rival, Carthage was the city of the seafaring Phoenicians forever memorialized in history books about the Punic Wars. The atmospheric ruins of this ancient town now sit beside the sea amid the suburbs of Tunis, a warning that even the greatest cities can be reduced to rubble.
The Bardo
Even non-museum fans can't fail to be impressed at the haul of beautiful mosaics in The Bardo. This is one of North Africa's top museums and it houses one of the world's most important mosaic collections. It's a showcase of ancient world artistry that isn't to be missed in Tunis
Grand Erg Oriental
Tunisia's vast Sahara covers much of the country's interior, and the most beautiful corner of the desert is the field of sand dunes known as the Grand Erg Oriental. These poetically beautiful dunes are a surreal and gorgeous landscape, shaped by the ever-shifting desert sands. For many visitors, this is a playground for riding dune buggies and camels, but nothing tops the simple pleasure of sitting atop one of these mammoth sand mountains and watching the sunset.
With mosques, madrassas, and tombs aplenty, Kairouan has more than its fair share of monuments as the fourth most important city for those of the Muslim faith. The Arabic architecture here is truly inspiring and the skyline is full of skinny minarets and bulky domes. But it's probably the back alleys of the city's Medina that steal the show. With narrow maze-like lanes lined with crumbling colorful houses, Kairouan's old town has an enchanting lost-in-time atmosphere that is a true highlight of a visit here.
Sousse Medina
Overlooked by the mighty Ribat and Kasbah, Sousse's Medina just begs to be explored. This lovely old town district is a shopping paradise with a tempting selection of ceramics, leather-work and metalwork on display. Away from the souk streets, quiet and rambling back alleys are a charming place to dive in and sample local life away from the bustle.
Bulla Regia
Tunisia has no shortage of Roman ruins, but Bulla Regia near Tabarka is the country's most interesting and intriguing site. Here, the Roman inhabitants coped with the harsh summer climate by ingeniously building their villas underground, which has left the city houses incredibly well preserved today. For history lovers this is a unique opportunity to walk through actual Roman houses, with their walls still intact. It's a glimpse of the residential life of the ancient world that you often don't see.
Chott el Djerid
The moonscape of the Chott el Djerid is a storybook panorama brought to life, filled with shimmering mirages on the horizon and jigsaw puzzle pieces of blindingly white cracked land. This sprawling salt-pan near Tozeur is a desolate moonscape that wows with its stark and brutal beauty. A sightseeing visit proves that nature produces much weirder landscapes than you could ever imagine.
Hammamet is all about the beach. It is Tunisia's top resort, a dreamy place dotted with pristine white buildings set beside a bright blue sea. The relaxing charms of this town woo all who come to sunbath on the white sand, or stroll in the restored old town souks. It's a no-stress kind of place that sums up the pleasures of Tunisia in one pretty package.
Tunisia's climate is Mediterranean in the north, with mild rainy winters and hot, dry summers. The south of the country is desert. The terrain in the north is mountainous, which, moving south, gives way to a hot, dry central plain. The south is semiarid, and merges into the Sahara. A series of salt lakes, known as chotts or shatts, lie in an east-west line at the northern edge of the Sahara, extending from the Gulf of Gabes into Algeria. The lowest point is Chott el Djerid at 17 meters (56 ft) below sea level and the highest is Jebel ech Chambi at 1,544 metres (5,066 ft).
Safety Tips
Tunisia is an all year round tourist destination, where the hospitality of locals has no boundaries. It is the 113th safest country in the world, based on the safest and most dangerous countries ranking. The country has an unofficial division into 3 regions:
Northern Tunisia , where spectacular mountains and white sandy beaches please tourists all year round.
Central Coastal Tunisia, the southern beach resorts make this area very popular among tourists.
Sahara Tunisia, Rocky plain and dunes are the main destiny of this part of the region.
Generally, the country is safe, the only exception to this rule is a border area with Libya. Violent crime in the country is rare.
Petty crimes
Petty crimes like a bag, purse snatching, pickpocketing and other types of petty crimes prevail. A good recommendation is only carry cash for your immediate requirements and keep the belongings under supervision. In order to make your trip safe.
Violent crimes
Like in any other city in the world, violent and nonviolent crime occurs in Tunis and other big urban areas. Homicides and sexual assaults have been reported all over the Tunisia more often in rural areas and poor neighborhoods. During soccer matches, physical assaults toward police, security forces, and rival soccer fans possible.
Tourist Areas
All newcomers to the city must be extra cautious in high-traffic tourist areas: Tunis Medina, central market, and other overcrowded areas. In case of being lost, we advise do not indicate, that you are lost. Try to take a seat in a café and order a taxi, via mobile application if you have an internet access. Otherwise, you might be targeted by robbers.
Areas of concern:
Traveling to the areas near the Libya border is not recommended, due to the high threat of terrorism. All travels into the desert areas south of Tataouine have to be registered beforehand in the Tunisian National Guard. Mountain areas in the west of the country are dangerous, on the reason of the high terrorist activity.
Risk Ratings
Tunisia is a relatively safe country. Tourism is the primary source of income for not only the governmental budget but private as well. So, the tourists' security is number 1 priority.
Pick-pocketing and bag snatching are very common. Transportation hubs, markets, the coastal area, public transport are among of the top pickpocket's destinations.
Risk of kidnapping is high within 50 km along the Libya border. Mugging does occur frequently in the big cities, in the poorly lit area, after the dark.
Unfair individuals or group of them desire to take an advantage of distracted tourists. Touts of souvenirs shops might be aggressive, so refuse politely from a purchase. Take as a general rule in Tunisia to ask the price in advance, overpriced food, beverages are common. Be careful of Henna artists in market areas. Henna might provoke an allergy in 2-3 weeks, so don't believe, that their henna is safe.
Taking public buses or minibuses ("louage") is strongly recommended. Bus drivers often drive at excessive speeds, have poor safety records, and do not properly maintain vehicles. Buses are usually overcrowded, and women have been harassed. Do not use a taxi that will not use the meter or claims "the meter is not working," as these drivers will over charge unsuspecting passengers. The streetcar system, known as "Metro," consists of five lines between downtown Tunis and nearby suburbs. Petty crime (pickpocketing, purse/phone/jewelry snatching, sexual harassment of women) is common on the Metro. Americans on official business are not authorized to use the Metro.
Even well-traveled routes are subject to blowing sands that can create hazards. Travel in the desert areas of southern Tunisia presents additional challenges. Persons driving off the major paved roads are encouraged to ensure that their vehicles are appropriate for off-road driving conditions and are equipped with appropriate spares/supplies (water, food). Groups should generally travel in multiple vehicles. Desert regions are subject to extreme temperatures, from sub-freezing evenings in the winter to dangerously hot days in the summer. In addition, many areas in the southern desert regions have little or no cellular telephone service.
The possibility of terrorist attacks in Tunisia has a moderate probability, however you should watch out for suspicious activity. Terrorism is a threat throughout the world.
Sexual assaults do occur occasionally. The risks of being harassed is high in all types of public transport.

Awesome unit. We have been going to the beach for years now and this by far was the best unit we have ever stayed in. We will be back for sure. The unit had everything and more that my family could ever want. The bathrooms are very modern and updated and had lots of room. The beds were very comfortable and the balcony was very large and had a wonderful large table on it where we could enjoy some of our meals with a great view of the ocean.

I have been renting condos annually for the past 8-9 years on SPI, and this condo is hands down my favorite! The kitchen has all the cooking gadgets you could possibly need (crockpot, blender, mixer, plenty of pots/pans) which isn\'t usually the case with the other condos I\'ve rented. The condo is very spacious, updated and clean. Washer and dryer are a must for us and this was located in the master bedroom. There are no bathtubs for the little ones, but we made due. The bedrooms have very comfy beds (master could use more sleeping pillows). Flatscreens in all bedrooms with cable. Nice balcony with killer view. As far as Saida, it\'s the only condo I\'ll stay at after staying at other newer ones. It may be older, but it is much more fun with 3 pools, tennis courts (4) and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants! PI rentals has always been accommodating and on point with any issues that may arise. Would highly recommend this condominium and this particular condo. Love, love, love it!

We have typically done the hotel stay next door (I.G.), but we decided to tryout the condo stay this time. What a great choice it was. Saida III, specifically 1201, is exactly as advertised. Great beds, great living areas, and spectacular bathrooms. The views to the beach and pool areas are exceptional. We were very pleased when we arrived, but we were so sad to leave when our time was up. We cannot give this condo enough praise. We look forward to our next stay there. Kudos!

See th'eternal Judge descending,
Seated on His Father's throne,
Now poor sinner, Christ shall show thee
He is the eternal Son;
Trumpets call thee, trumpets call thee,
Come to hear thy awful doom.
Hear the sinner thus lamenting
At the thoughts of future pain;
Cries and tears he now is venting,
But he cries and weeps in vain,
Greatly mourning, greatly mourning,
That he ne'er was born again.
Yonder stands the lovely Savior,
With the marks of dying love;
Oh! that I had sought His favor,
When I felt His Spirit move!
Doomed justly, doomed justly.
For I have against Him strove.
All His warnings I have slighted,
While He daily sought my soul;
If some vows to Him I plighted,
Yet for sin I broke the whole;
Golden moments, golden moments,
How neglected did they roll.
Yonder stand my godly neighbors,
Who were once despised by me,
They are clad in dazzling splendor,
Waiting my sad fate to see;
Farewell, neighbors, farewell, neighbors;
Dismal gulf, I'm bound for thee.
Hail ye ghosts that dwell in darkness,
Groveling, rattling, of your chains,
Christ has now denounced our sentence,
We must dwell in endless pains;
Down I'm rolling, down I'm rolling,
Never to return again.
Now experience plainly shows me,
Hell is not a fabled thing;
Lo, I see my friends in glory,
Round the throne they ever sing;
I'm tormented, I'm tormented.
By an everlasting sting.

Patriot Capital and Your Financing Needs
C-Store owners have a lot on their hands these days, new Federal and State regulations, aging equipment, employees, don't let financing be an extra burden. Equipment financing and leasing is a proven method for C-store owners to fund their growing businesses for things like, new sites, remodels or upgrades, including achieving EMV payment compliance or brand standards.
Equipment financing & leasing provides many benefits to fuel retailers and commercial fueling operations, including:
- 100% of the costs, including shipping, installation, and maintenance, can be included in the lease.
- No blanket liens or second mortgages.
- Leasing doesn't tie up lines of credit.
- Preserve lines of credit for things that grow your business like land, more sites, fuel inventory, etc.
- The upfront costs are very non-restrictive, generally only two payments in advance.
- Lease payments are fixed, not variable.
How Does the C-Store & Fueling Equipment Financing Process Work?
Here's how easy it is to finance your gas pumps, fuel tanks or other convenience store equipment with various equipment financing and leasing options.
Getting a gas pump loan or equipment financing for an underground tank upgrade or other site improvement differs from other small business loans in several ways. Patriot Capitals leasing and financing have several advantages for gas station and c-store owners:
- The term of our financing is generally five years for gas pump loans and similar financing.
- Interest rates are fixed for the term of the lease or financing. This is different than other small business loans, where you may be exposed to rising interest rates over the term of the loan.
- Equipment financing can include financing or leasing installation and related costs as well as the equipment cost.

Battery welding
Lately I've been occupied with welding e-bike batteries. I ran into a ton of problems trying to get the process right, so rather than my usual blow-by-blow diatribe of how I put something together, I've just outlined my learnings, and posted a few photos of my progress. Hopefully this is helpful to others having trouble.
I had to make a new battery pack for Jenna before I could start on my board tracker. Her bike had just come back from being at MOTAT, and her pack had significantly degraded. One of the things I struggled with was finding good advice for troubleshooting my particular issues.
Where I looked first:
Equipment and parts I used:
Before starting I wish I'd known:
- The best way to dial in your welder parameters is to do a test weld with two bits of nickel, and inspect the underneath side of the weld. If you can't see obvious weld marks, you're not using enough current and/or pulses.
- The welder pen on the Sunkko 709 series welders is only good for up to 0.15mm pure nickel strip (I purchased some and verified this).
- You can do thicker pure nickel with the fixed welding head (I used 0.2mm pure nickel)
- The welding pins need to be pressed against the nickel strip with enough pressure to remove any air gaps between the pins, strip, and battery. Failure to do this will result in big sparks and unreliable welds.
- To help guarantee good contact when using the fixed welding head, always trigger the welder with the footpedal.
- If in doubt, use wider, but thinner strip (e.g. 8x 0.15mm over 7x0.2mm)
- Use a battery load testing jig to test your battery performance, before fitting it to your bike.
My welder
Panasonic NCR18650 cells. These things can discharge a crazy amount of continuous current (10A), and hold tons of charge (3.45Ah)
Test fitting the cells on Jenna's bike, before I realised I had major welding problems.
My load testing jig: Some big 4ohm resistors in a bucket of water. I measured the voltage across each cell group at the BMS while the battery was discharging. Any groups measuring significantly differently from the majority, would point to problem welding.
Weld testing, pin side
Weld testing, underside. This is an example of good quality welds. Notice the visible weld marks.
The welded battery pack for my board tracker. I'll be writing up a seperate post for the battery enclosure.
The board tracker battery pack with the BMS fitted, and shrink-wrapped. This thing is a 52V 24Ah battery, with a 60A BMS. It's scary powerful.

The British Camp Trail starts from the parking area near the park office and Visitor Center, and loops through what was once the property of the Musgrove family, which was briefly occupied by the British in the summer of 1780. Scenic views of the Enoree River are visible from this trail, and it is teeming with local wildlife year-round.
Starting from the parking area you will start downhill on the Interpretive Trail, which loops through what was once a battlefield in 1780. During your walk, you will pass several sites of interest where you can stop and reflect, the first being the ruins of the Musgrove House directly across the road from the Visitor Center. Piles of brick and stone are all that are left of the house, which stood here until 1971.
Your second stop will be a monument erected in the early 20th century to honor Mary Musgrove, who was Edward Musgrove's daughter and a Revolutionary War Heroine. When you reach the river, you will come to what was a ford, or a point where soldiers could cross the river. Since no roads or bridges were available in the 1700's it was good to know where a river could be crossed.
Just before you leave the banks of the river, you will come to what was the site of the Musgrove Mill, which was run by the Musgrove family and helped provide food for the troops encamped in the area. Across the Enoree is Horseshoe Falls and the Battlefield Trail.
Days and Hours of Operation: Main Gate: 9am-6pm, dailyDirections:

Apple and Losing Old FriendsJuly 24th, 2015
Some of us have been extremely close to Apple. Not so much being acquainted with the people there, although some of us are. It's about being loyal to Apple gear for a number of years. I can tell you that it hasn't always been a cake walk. For years, I was regarded as the odd man out, the fellow who refused to get with the program and use Windows as everyone else did.
While I did own a Windows PC for a very short period of time in the mid-1990s, I found that I rarely used it and eventually sold it off. I also reviewed Windows computers from time to time for various publications, but I knew that, after a few weeks, I could send them back.
And return to my Mac.
But Apple doesn't always make it easy for users of their products. They often do foolish things, and not just in the old days but in the era of the "second coming" after Steve Jobs returned to the company. One of the biggest problems remains online services. Anything related to iCloud, such as mail and synced content, may suddenly become unavailable or get messed up somehow.
Since Apple Music arrived, some subscribers have complained about corrupted iTunes libraries. Tracks would be missing, duplicated, or mislabeled. DRM would be applied even to music you owned free and clear. It got downright confusing, and all you wanted to do was take advantage of a 90-day free trial and see if you really wanted to rent music.
While I haven't seen any evidence of file corruption on my own equipment, I am not enamored of the flaky manner in which it handles the "For You" listings that are supposedly tailored to my musical tastes. Even though I frequently specify, in Music for iOS, that I do not like an album, it remains in the list. I religiously select the artists I don't like, using Music's "I Don't Like This Suggestion" feature, and they are still there. I also wonder why iTunes still lacks that feature, but it doesn't matter if it has no impact.
I assume things will get better, and file corruption issues may be resolved or fixed, but it may be too late for some people.
Take Jim Dalrymple of The Loop, a professional musician and veteran tech journalist who has covered Apple since the 1990s. His work background includes a stint at Macworld, and he is well connected. Clearly he has sources within Apple that sometimes feed him exclusives, witness the fact that he will occasionally predict, accurately, whether or not a certain rumored product will actually appear. A terse "nope" is sufficient to confirm the rumor is unfounded, and he's always right.
Jim is also realistic about is praise and criticisms when it comes to Apple. He doesn't have blinders, so when something upsets him, you can bet he won't hold back.
So when Jim complains that "Apple Music is a nightmare and I'm done with it," you know that he's really upset. It's not about a few glitches, but significant deal breakers, and Apple surely has some explaining to do.
In his article on The Loop, Jim disclosed a litany of problems with Apple Music, but one particular incident was clearly one of the straws that broke that camel's back:
As if all of that wasn't enough, Apple Music gave me one more kick in the head. Over the weekend, I turned off Apple Music and it took large chunks of my purchased music with it. Sadly, many of the songs were added from CDs years ago that I no longer have access to. Looking at my old iTunes Match library, before Apple Music, I'm missing about 4,700 songs. At this point, I just don't care anymore, I just want Apple Music off my devices.
Now Jim isn't blameless. He should have had a full backup of his music, so he'd be protected if something went wrong. I just wonder why he didn't have a drive with Time Machine at hand, so he'd be able to restore his iTunes library to the condition it was in before installing Apple Music. But he admits that, "I also failed by not backing up my library before installing Apple Music."
Regardless, that problem and the others detailed in Jim's article were entirely unnecessary. It appears that Apple Music isn't as kind in situations where a music library is extremely large. Apple needs to do something to help customers recover their lost music, if possible, and to repair broken databases.
As for me, I'm sticking with Apple Music for now. I do keep multiple backups of my stuff, and I recommend that, if you wish to give the service a try, make sure you can revert to your old music library if things turn bad. I would also hope that Apple is working hard on the problem and solutions will soon be at hand.
I'd also be interested to see how Apple responds to the bad news from someone who was, for years, on their side. I very much suspect it's a case of all hands on deck to see what can be done.

Today I'm going to introduce to you an opportunity that truly is once in a lifetime… an opportunity to secure arguably one of the Northern Suburbs most outstanding properties, located here in the prime location of Rosetta.
An opportunity to enjoy panoramic views out over the River Derwent…. and the opportunity to secure the ultimate family home. Welcome to 16 Peacock Court, Rosetta!
From the moment you begin to approach this modern day mansion you quickly get an appreciation for the homes' size and grandeur, as you are greeted by a large pivot front door which flows through to the homes' formal entrance.
Bathed in natural light from the skylights and complemented nicely by the foyers chandelier, it automatically gives you that feeling of home. Throughout upstairs you will enjoy a spacious open plan living area, that is heated not only be a reverse cycle heat pump, but also by a gas fireplace which doubles as the homes central entertainment space.
Then as you continue along you will find a well appointed kitchen that enjoys a 900mm wide oven, island bench and fully kitted butlers pantry ensuring that if you are entertaining you can easily hide the mess away.
Finally completing the homes upstairs living is a large dining room, with a picture framed window showcasing the world famous MONA Museum and camplex, and a private sitting deck which is ideal for pre-dinner drinks on those warm summer nights.
With so many features already listed you would find it hard to believe that there could be anything left to tell you about upstairs, but you would be wrong, as the home still offers two spacious bedrooms (both with built-ins), a three piece bathroom and the master bedroom, which enjoys private access to the entertainment deck; a walk in wardrobe and ensuite that all enjoy those outstanding river views.
Now for most people the features already listed would be enough, but then you travel downstairs to what is effectively a full second home; offering a large open plan living area complete with entertainment bar, three large (and I mean large) bedrooms, and another three piece formal bathroom- giving you a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms across the home.
Finally completing this huge property is a double garage, plus storage and a private and secure small backyard leaving you with little to do of a weekend but enjoy what this home has to offer.
Now I know this property has a lot to take in but the only way you can get a true understanding as to the sheer size of this property is to inspect the home in person so pick up the phone today and arrange your own private inspection of this beautiful property.

Who will make decisions about our groundwater?
Groundwater Sustainability Agency formation underway to meet 2017 deadline
In less than a year, Sonoma Valley will have a new agency in place tasked with governing how groundwater is used and making sure that use is sustainable in the future. However, who will sit on this agencys board and how the governance of the agencys board will be constructed were the two biggest questions addressed at a June 30 workshop at Sonoma Charter School.
Although Sonoma Valley has had a voluntary groundwater management plan in place since 2007, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), passed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2014, requires all medium- and high-priority water basins to form Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) which would then develop groundwater sustainability plans.
Once Sonoma Valleys GSA is formed by deadline in June 2017 it would have the authority, under state law, to conduct studies, register and monitor wells, set well spacing requirements, require extraction reporting, regulate extractions, implement capital projects and assess fees to cover costs. But thats putting the cart before the horse. What the GSA will opt to do in order to manage groundwater will largely depend on its structure and its board members who will make its decisions.
Under SGMA, GSA-eligible agencies must supply or manage water or control land use. In the Sonoma Valley basin boundaries, running approximately from Dunbar Road all the way to San Pablo Bay, the GSA-eligible agencies are the City of Sonoma, the North Bay Water District, the Valley of the Moon Water District, the County of Sonoma, the Sonoma County Water Agency, and the Sonoma Resource Conservation District.
Per the law, a GSA must consider all interests of all beneficial uses and users of groundwater, including agriculture, domestic well uses, municipal water systems, native American tribes, local landowners, disadvantaged communities, business, and environmental use.
In order to meet all these requirements, the various GSA-eligible agencies have been working together to develop a draft GSA framework, which they presented at the June 30 meeting. They proposed that the local GSA board should be made up of one representative from each GSA-eligible agency, making six total. This representative must be elected by the board or council members of the GSA-eligible agency. There would be no term limits.
Additionally, a GSA Advisory Body will be created to advise the GSA Board on the development and implementation of the groundwater sustainability plan (to be completed by a 2022 deadline); and to advise the Board on the development of any regulations, fees, capital projects or programs connected to the sustainability plan. Officials envision this GSA Advisory Body to be made up of six at-large members appointed by each GSA-eligible agency and five interest-based members appointed by the GSA Board as a whole. These interest-based members will include representatives from an environmental organization with a presence in Sonoma Valley, the business community, agriculture, a disadvantaged community (Telemec or the Springs area, for example), and a rural residential well owner.
The application process for the Advisory Body is envisioned as a very formal process, said Jay Jasperse, director of Groundwater Management for the Sonoma County Water Agency.
At the meeting, Jasperse also addressed questions surrounding what happens if there is a tie vote on a GSA Board with only six members (We will have to work until theres a consensus) and what will happen to the current groundwater management plan in Sonoma Valley once the GSA is in charge. Jasperse said they will be working to figure out how to merge the existing voluntary groundwater management plan with new sustainability plans once a GSA takes over. Its important to note that the current groundwater management plan covers a larger area than the basin defined by SGMA (SGMA also overlooks surface water and its connection to groundwater), but there could be opportunities to add to the Sonoma Valley basin boundaries maybe adding the Kenwood area in the future, said Jasperse.
Members of the audience, made up mostly of well owners, environmental groups, members of the current Sonoma Valley groundwater Basin Advisory Panel, received the GSA proposal with generally positive feedback. Staff from the various GSA-eligible agencies will continue to gather public feedback through the end of the year and fine-tune their proposal before bringing it before their respective city councils and the Board of Supervisors this winter.

SGMA simplifiedWhat is SGMA?
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) is a statewide effort to address, among other problems, declining water tables, loss of groundwater storage, and sinking land, most notably in the Central Valley. In Sonoma Valley, some wells in the southern part of the valley are already experiencing saltwater intrusion.
SGMA took effect in 2015. Under SGMA, Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs) must be formed by 2017. Each GSA made up of eligible agencies that supply or manage water or control land use will then be responsible for developing and completing a sustainability plan by the start of 2022. After the plans are adopted, the agencies have 20 years to achieve sustainability within the basin they manage.
What is sustainable groundwater management?
SGMA defines sustainable management as managing and using groundwater in a way that can be sustained over a long period of time.
Who does SGMA affect?
It has the potential to affect everyone within the boundaries of a priority basin. Sonoma County has 14 state-identified groundwater basins and sub-basins, but only three basins that require immediate attention: Santa Rosa Plain, Petaluma Valley and Sonoma Valley. The Sonoma Valley basins boundaries run approximately from Dunbar Road all the way to San Pablo Bay along the valley floor. Rocky uplands are not included in the basin boundaries, according to the state. SGMA requires these three basins to have a groundwater sustainability plan (developed by a GSA).
Does SGMA mean they will install monitors on my well?
Under state law, a GSA would have the authority to conduct studies, register and monitor wells, set well spacing requirements, require extraction reporting, regulate extractions, implement capital projects and assess fees to cover costs. They could do all of these things or some of these things. Its up to the GSA to decide what measures are needed to bring groundwater use to a sustainable level.
As for well regulations, SGMA does provide an exemption for de minimis users, which is defined as those who use two acre-feet per year or less (about 651,702 gallons) for domestic purposes. The GSA cannot require metering of these users, but how they are incorporated into a sustainability plan or if they are still subject to fees will be up to the GSA to decide.
Does SGMA mean my water bill will go up?
That will be determined once the GSA has been formed. Under state law the GSA does retain the authority to impose fees on groundwater users to help cover the cost of management or projects. Whether fees are imposed and what the size of the fees is will be decided at a later date.

>The Long Long Trailer as one of my favorite movies. In my opinion, it is far better and more entertaining than RV with Robin Williams.
In the Long Long Trailer, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez play newlyweds Tacy and Nicky Collini. Nicky's job keeps him moving around the county. Tacy thinks having their own traveling home… before they were called RVs… is a much better idea than staying in motels and rented rooms.
Nicky is against the idea at first, but when he realizes Tacy is serious, agrees to buy a trailer.
During the film, Nicky learns how to drive 'forty feet of train' through congested city streets and the importance of 'trailer brakes first!' Then he backs the 'rig' over Aunt Anastasia's prize roses.
Tacy tries to cook dinner in the New Moon trailer while Nicky drives them to their destination which proves to be a really bad idea.
Along the way she collects rocks as souvenirs of the places she has been along with lots of canned fruits and vegetables, eventually causing the trailer to be greatly overloaded.
All the things RVers still do!
Get The Long, Long Trailer from Amazon.com for under $10
Also, RV Basics.com book store for our list of recommended RV books and Check out the DVDs at RV Education 101 for educational and fun RV videos.

I've come to learn recently, that no matter the fact that they share genes, children are extremely different. It floors me sometimes.
For example, when my oldest daughter was learning to drive, she was so cautious about it. She was timid and careful. She never wants me to correct her. She would carefully hit the gas and slowly proceed and then she would watch carefully and ease into wherever she was going. She's the kind of kid that will argue with you until she's blue in the face, even if she knows you're right. She doesn't care, she won't admit to fault. Ever. So, when it came to driving, she was the same, and I would have to be careful what I said and how I said it so she wouldn't take it as a challenge. God forbid, how much I had to hold on for dear life when she turned right and I would feel like she was about to "flip" the car. She doesn't appreciate or thrive on authority, and she trusts her own instincts to get her through. It's pretty amazing to watch. Especially when she realized she could fix something. She would concentrate solely on ways that made sense to her to fix it. My advice wouldn't work because it wasn't her idea, but to see her test the waters herself was interesting. She learned best that way.
The other day, I had my middle child behind the wheel for her first time. I thought for sure I knew how she would react to the vehicle, similar to that of her sister. I figured she would cautiously hit the gas, gently tap the brake and learn to trust her instincts like her sister did. I figured I would carefully correct her without sounding like a threat to her inner self. I felt confident, prepared. It helped that we were only in a parking lot, but still I knew what I was doing…
Boy am I a fool. That's the first time in the past couple of weeks, I've come to the realization how different kids are. My middle child apparently depends on instruction and then decides if it is a good idea to listen and take the advice or not. Her confidence is far different from that of her older sister. Which threw me for a huge curveball. It looked something like this:
"Dina, carefully hit the gas pedal. Nice and slowly."
"I got this, Mom."
"Why are you looking at the pedals?"
"Mom, I need to see what button I'm pushing."
"You need to watch the road."
"Relax, trust me." (I'm not feeling so relaxed or in the mood to trust).
"Nice and easy, kid."
It was the moment she turned her head and smiled, the first day with my kid behind the wheel, that I knew she was different from her sister. In the single moment of realization, she 'pushed the gas button' and we took off.
"Dina! Turn the wheel! Slow down! What are you doing?"
"I'm driving!"
"Yes, but you need to hit the brake, we're going to go into the grass! Nice and slowly. Don't slam it."
We come screeching to halt. My seatbelt is choking me and my daughter has a proud grin on her face.
"Mom, I did it! Let's do it again."
"Uh, nice and slow."
"Uh, I don't want to pop a tire, hit a pole, or end up on the lawn of the school."
"Can we turn donuts?"
"What? No! Absolutely not!"
"Mom, come on, do you know how fun that would be?"
"Dina, you look at your feet to drive. We're not turning donuts."
"I don't think you're taking this seriously."
"Yes I am. I'm driving. I can't wait to drive. I've been waiting my whole life for this day. Tell me what to do, anything, and I will do it."
"Uh, ease your foot onto the gas and when it comes time to hit the break don't give me whiplash."
"Got it." She drives nice and slow. It's almost condescending. My phone rings. "Don't answer that, Mom."
I looked at her confused. "Why?"
"I'm driving. Cell phones are not allowed on in any car that I'm driving. That's dangerous. A great way to get into an accident. I refuse to die in a car due to ignorance…"
"Dude, you just wanted to spin circles a moment ago."
"Yes. That's just fun, not deadly."
"Point taken."
"Mom, we're going to hit the grass, would you like me to stop?"
"Well next time tell me. You're the boss."
I can only imagine what it will be like with my son. I just decided to go into life as if I never know what to expect ever again. Shame on me for thinking I get this parenting thing!

Canada: Trudeau on back foot as frustration builds over PM's climate strategy Read more When Canadians cast their votes next October, they will do so amid standard electoral issues: jobs, the economy and foreign policy.
"The good news for the prime minister is that when you ask Canadians who they think would make the best prime minister, he still has a comfortable advantage over Conservative leader Andrew Scheer," said Nik Nanos, a Canadian pollster.
"The bad news is that leading up to the next federal election right now, it's basically a coin toss between the Liberals and Conservatives." Canadians have shown an increasing concern for the environment, but in a country largely dependent on resource extraction, the results are often messy.
Earlier in the year, as part of its pan-Canadian climate change strategy, the federal government required all provinces have a minimum level of carbon pricing.
For those that fail to do so, the government will implement its own carbon tax, set to begin in July 2019.
Already, the levy has fired up Trudeau's political opponents – at both the provincial and federal level.
"The only true test of a climate change plan, after all, is whether carbon is going up or down," said the NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh, in a statement about his frustrations with the Trans Mountain Pipeline, which runs from Alberta to the British Columbia coast.
"Trudeau has moved from having an environment that was friendly and pliant to one that is more combative and hostile," said Nanos, pointing to a string of shifts to Conservative – or right-of-centre – provincial governments across the country since Trudeau was elected in 2015.
Along with their provincial counterparts, the federal Conservatives have pledged to repeal any carbon taxes, with Scheer dismissing the policy as an "election gimmick".
He points out that the biggest emissions reductions in Canada came from the Ontario government's closure of coal plants.
JASON REDMOND / AFP / Getty Images Canada's Supreme Court rejected on attempt by the city of Burnaby, British Columbia (BC) to halt work on the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion Thursday, Reuters reported. "Burnaby is not going away.
We intend to continue to oppose this project with all legal means available to us, and will be continuing with our other legal challenges," Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said in a statement reported by The Canadian Press.
There are still several legal challenges to the pipeline issued by First Nation groups, one of which was rejected in June.
In May, the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced it would buy the existing pipeline and the expansion from Kinder Morgan after the company halted non-essential work due to protests and asked for a May 31 guarantee it could continue working uninterrupted.
Corrigan said the Supreme Court's decision was part of a pattern of Canada overriding the concerns of municipal governments. "The lack of status for municipal government and the lack of consideration of municipal government by the federal government is a serious issue and it's one that needs to be resolved and we're certainly going to look to our citizens to continue to press this forward," Corrigan told CBC News.
Greenpeace campaigner Mike Hudema agreed. "We're disappointed by today's decision as what we are seeing is the federal government railroading over municipalities just trying to protect the health and safety of their citizens," he told The Canadian Press.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Trudeau's cabinet retreat in Nanaimo, BC Wednesday, accusing him of "fiddling while BC burns" for buying a project that would increase the use of fossil fuels, The Canadian Press reported.
Days after Justin Trudeau blew an estimated $15 billion of hard-earned Canadian taxpayer money on Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, scientists are warning just how financially and ecologically stupid and short-sighted the investment was.
In a peer reviewed scientific paper published Monday, the scientists warn of the existence of a "carbon bubble," due to the plunging price of renewables and improved energy efficiency measures, which will make many fossil fuel projects "stranded assets."
It continues: "This trend is inconsistent with observed investment in new fossil fuel ventures, which could become stranded as a result."
But this economic loss of "stranded fossil fuel assets" will be exemplified if "new climate policies to reach the 2°C target of the Paris Agreement are adopted and/or if low-cost producers (some OPEC countries) maintain their level of production ('sell out') despite declining demand."
And the reason will be the tar sands.
And if the tar sands are "shut down," Kinder Morgan is a pipeline to nowhere.
Individual nations cannot avoid the situation by ignoring the Paris agreement or burying their heads in coal and tar sands."
Dr. Jean-François Mercure, the lead author, from Radboud and Cambridge universities, also told the newspaper: "If people stop putting funds now in fossil fuels, they may at least limit their losses."
Trudeau has just done the opposite. "It is government subsidizing a market failure."
The Canadian government plans to spend $4.5 billion Canadian dollars ($3.5 billion) to buy Kinder Morgan's existing Trans Mountain pipeline and its controversial expansion project that will triple the amount of tar sands transported from Alberta to the coast of British Columbia.
Kinder Morgan halted all non-essential spending the pipeline project last month, citing continuing opposition in British Columbia.
The company set a May 31 deadline to get assurances it can proceed with the project without delays.
Bill Morneau, the federal finance minister, said in Ottawa Tuesday that the government's purchase will guarantee the summer construction season for workers and will ensure the project is built to completion. "Our message today is simple—when we're faced with an exceptional situation that puts jobs at risk, that puts our international reputation on the line, our government's prepared to take action," he said.
The agreement was approved by the Cabinet this morning and is subject to approval by Kinder Morgan shareholders.
Aurore Fauret, 350.org's Canadian tar sands campaign coordinator, said in a statement that "in a single mandate, Justin Trudeau transformed from a climate champion into a Big Oil CEO."
However, environmentalists have criticized Trudeau's support of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
Kinder Morgan abandoned this project because people organized all across the country to stop it, and we'll do it again," Fauret said. "This fight is far from over, and now that Justin Trudeau has turned the Canadian government into a fossil fuel company, it's crystal clear who we're up against."

Sam Burgess Wants You To Think About Football, Not Sexting
Popular and inspirational South Sydney Rabbitohs big guy Sam Burgess is allegedly implicated in a sexting scandal right now, and for obvious reasons he can't talk about it until the NRL Integrity Commission delivers its findings in a day or two.
We know there's a big game on this weekend because a) hello, it's the pointy end of the footy season, and b) because when Burgess fronted the media today, he told everyone repeatedly that GUYS, THERE'S A REALLY BIG GAME ON THIS WEEKEND instead of addressing the who, what, when, where and why of the alleged sexting schemozzle.
Some media outlets this afternoon are saying Burgess has "broken his silence". In truth he said very little.
Burgess' precise words were these:
"We're all stood here talking about something when we should really be focusing on the game in a few days time. We're all looking forward to it as players, we've trained well, and should be looking forward to that."
As it happens, Burgess is in luck. Rugby league fans are indeed very much looking forward to a mouth-watering clash on Saturday between the Roosters and Rabbitohs -- two teams who have been rivals for over 100 years, as Burgess reminded us this mild, sunny Sydney Tuesday.
But before that happens, fans also want to know whether the players they'll watch in said clash are of a certain character. They want to know whether lewd pictures were indeed sent on social media to a young woman, possibly without her consent. That's what the NRL integrity unit is there to reveal.
The timing of Tuesday's press conference was both bizarre and completely normal. Normal because Tuesday is when players typically front the media ahead of a big game.
Bizarre because Burgess was put forward to speak, when he was clearly unable to shed any light on what was -- like it or not -- the main rugby league issue of the week.
Burgess repeatedly said that he had no comment on the sexting controversy, and that he would wait for the "process" to play out. He said he was happy for the integrity unity to "get to the truth" and that he could say nothing further.
This was understandable.
What was much harder to grasp is why Burgess was there saying anything at all. There are plenty of other players who could help whip the media and fans into a lather about the game on the weekend.
When Burgess talked up the game, it seemed like he was deflecting questions. Which, again, was totally understandable. But why have him there at all?
Burgess went on to say he was "happy for the truth to come out" and said that "what hurts me the most is seeing my wife upset".
And then he spoke again about how we should all be concentrating on the footy.
