The Old West never looked so quirky in Ballad of Buster Scruggs trailer
On Nov 06, 2018 1:00 pm, by Asylum
Enlarge / "Best not to play it too fancy": Sharp-shooting songster Buster Scruggs (Tim Blake Nelson) takes aim.
YouTube/Netflix
Wagon trains, duels, hangings, standoffs in the local saloon—all the classic Hollywood Western tropes are on display in the new trailer for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the latest film from the prolific Oscar-winning brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen. And it looks like they are quirky as ever, delivering a Western anthology featuring six chapters, each telling a separate story set on the Old West frontier.
The Coen brothers have always had a penchant for genre mashups, starting with their very first feature film in 1984, the gritty noir/horror thriller, Blood Simple. Their work spans an impressive range of styles, from the darkly comic crime drama, Fargo (1996), the slapstick-and-bluegrass influenced Oh Brother Where Art Thou (2000), and biting satire of Barton Fink (1991), to the surreal black comedies The Big Lebowski (1998) and 1994's vastly under-appreciated The Hudsucker Proxy.
Buster Scruggs looks to be in a category all its own, despite sharing a couple of filming locations with No Country for Old Men (2007) and True Grit (2010). (Most of it was filmed in the Nebraska Panhandle, however.) The film is based on a series of Western-themed short stories that the brothers have apparently been writing over the last 25 years. Originally intended as a six-part Netflix TV series, the brothers reworked it into a feature film earlier this year, although the anthology format is intact. It's the first fully digital production for the Coens, but it's clearly got the same dark, understated humor that is a hallmark of the brothers' best work.
The Prospector (Tom Waits) could tell you a story or six.
"Things have a way of escalatin' out here in the West."
Someone didn't deposit his gun in the receptacle by the swinging doors.
James Franco is a wannabe bank robber who gets his just desserts. And then some.
A wagon train across the prairie.
Must. Pet. Wagon. Train. Puppy.
"We're in for a fight…"
This doesn't look like a fair fight.
Liam Neeson is the Impresario, a weary traveling performer.
These "harvesters of souls" join three strangers on a final carriage ride.
The titular segment features a well-mannered sharp-shooting songster named Buster Scruggs (Tim Blake Nelson), who faces off against The Kid (Willie Watson). The segments "Near Algodones" and "Meal Ticket" star James Franco as an aspiring bank robber and Liam Neeson as a world-weary itinerant performer, respectively. Tom Waits is a grizzled prospector in "All Gold Canyon," while Zoe Kazan plays a young woman eager to find love on a wagon train making its way across the prairie in "The Girl Who Got Rattled." The final segment, "The Mortal Remains," is a spooky story about strangers taking a final carriage ride with a pair of self-proclaimed "harvesters of souls."
Each segment has a distinct style and tone, yet all feel like quintessential Coen brothers stories. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs will have a limited release at select theaters on November 8. It will be available for streaming on Netflix on November 16.

'Westworld' composer explains why the show has so many Radiohead covers
Nick Levine Nov 19, 2016 9:21 am GMT
Ramin Djawadi, who also composes music for 'Game Of Thrones', declares himself a "huge Radiohead fan".
Westworld's composer Ramin Djawadi has explained why the acclaimed HBO has featured so many Radiohead covers.
Versions of 'No Surprises', 'Fake Plastic Trees' and 'Motion Picture Soundtrack' have all appeared in episodes of HBO's sci-fi hit, which was co-created by Jonathan Nolan, brother of Dark Knight director Christopher.
Asked why Nolan keeps picking songs by the Oxford band, Djawadi told Pitchfork: "They're just an incredible band. I myself am a huge Radiohead fan. I'm happy he's picking those songs."
Djawadi who also composes the music for Game Of Thrones, added: "While I'm not even that big into lyrics, their lyrics tend to be very poetic as well. I think it's a great fit. Like with 'Fake Plastic Trees' – even if you just take the title — with Westworld, what is real? What is not real? You can interpret it in many ways."

Earlier this week HBO renewed Westworld for a second season. According to the network's programming president, Casey Bloys, the show is now averaging nearly 12 million viewers per episode, including reruns, on-demand, and streaming. However, Bloys also said new episodes of Westworld are unlikely to air until 2018.
Despite its popularity, Westworld has been criticised in the US after an episode featured a four-minute orgy scene. Up to 40 actors were involved in the raunchy scene, which some viewers felt went too far.
Earlier this year the cast and makers of the show defended the drama's scenes depicting violence towards women.

The Development Planned Around Bloomingdale and Truxton Circle
While development in NoMa continues to boom, things have been a little more slow-going west of North Capitol Street. As part of UrbanTurf catching up on the upcoming residential developments in area neighborhoods this year, below, we will take a look at the larger developments on tap for the area around Bloomingdale and Truxton Circle.
In case you missed them, here are other neighborhoods we have covered thus far in 2016:
The Shaw Development Rundown
The 1,458 New Units Coming to the H Street Corridor
The 692 New Units Coming to the 14th Street Corridor
The Development Rundown For Georgetown and the West End
The (Approximately) 1,500 Units Coming to Downtown Bethesda
The 1,364 Units Coming to the U Street Corridor
The 5,589 Units Headed for NoMA
The Mount Vernon Triangle/Chinatown Development Rundown
Truxton Circle and Bloomingdale Development
Cycle House
Urban Green, LLC, Flywheel Development and Studio Upwall Architects have teamed up to bring LEED-Gold certified affordable housing to the vacant lot at 1520-1522 North Capitol Street NW (map). Earlier this month, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) gave the developers the green light to construct a four-story mixed-use building with 15 studio and one-bedroom apartments, 4,100 square feet of ground floor retail and a 1,708 square-foot restaurant. With roof-top solar and fuel cells, the building will produce all of its own energy, only using the grid for backup and potentially allowing a community energy-share. There will also be a bike room and a roof deck, and most of the units will have balconies. The apartments will be affordable to persons making between 50-60 percent of area median income (AMI).
The Truxton
Brick Lane Real Estate took possession of 8, 10 and 12 Florida Avenue NW and 1542 North Capitol Street NW in late 2014, and are currently constructing The Truxton (map). The project, anticipated to deliver in 2017, includes the renovation of current storefronts and construction of nine luxury units above the 5,000 square feet of retail space.
Florida Avenue and Q Street NW
This month, DC is putting the 12,400 square-foot lot at 26 Q Street NW (map) up for a request for proposals (RFP).
There are a total of seven vacant lots and one to-be-razed building on the site. Two of the lots are zoned for residential, while the rest are commercial. According to the DMPED summary, any developer wishing to snatch up the site should intend to propose a mixed-use development with residential units and commercial space with 51 percent minimum affordability for those making up to 90 percent AMI.
North Capitol Commons
Just on the other side of North Capitol Street is North Capitol Commons at 1005 North Capitol St NE (map), which UrbanTurf has been following since its proposal. The Be The Change Development Corporation and Sorg Architects-led project is being constructed as permanent supportive housing for veterans and affordable units for those making up to 60 percent of AMI. Sigal Construction is finishing up the 14-story building, and its 124 microunits are currently leasing in preparation for an August opening.
Northwest One
DC is also putting the 196,816 square foot lot at North Capitol and K Streets NW (map) up for RFP this summer. This surface parking lot is zoned for both residential and commercial use. Up to 800 units are allowed on the site with roughly 220 designated for affordable housing.
At 1.3 million square feet of new development, the largest project in this area will be the replacement of the Sursum Corda Housing Cooperative bounded by First and North Capitol Streets and L and M Streets NW (map). After over a decade of false starts and planning, the Sursum Corda Cooperative Board, joined by Winn Development and Boggs and Partners Architects, was recently approved for the first stage of a planned-unit development (PUD) by the Zoning Commission.
The plan is to erect five LEED Silver buildings, which will deliver a total of 1,133 residential units and 49,000 square feet of non-residential space, including at least 1.5 acres of public space. The existing 148 townhouses on the 5.8-acre site will be demolished along with 76 M Street NW. Of the new residences, 199 will be affordable available to applicants who earn an average of 60 percent AMI; the breakdown of this is still to be determined.
Out of those 199 unit, 136 will be studios to four-bedrooms that will accommodate returning residents. Those residents will also get a one-time payout to compensate for their equity in the property.
Retail will front M Street and wrap around into the pedestrian promenades that will traverse through the site. There will be walk-up units on First Street and First Place. Pierce Street will be extended through the site and made private.
The project will be built in two phases: the first will be the south block, comprised of three buildings totaling 421 units, including the current-resident replacement units. This phase will also deliver 272 below-grade parking spaces built into the hill behind the third building. The first phase of the PUD should be completed by 2020.
Chapman Stables
This historic two-story former coal yard, stable and garage at 57 N Street NW (map) was most-recently the Brass Knob Warehouse, which vacated in 2010. The existing building will get a third story, and a five-story addition will also abut the property. The development team, consisting of Four Points, John Sunter and Studio 27 Architects, will deliver 110 apartments and 60 underground parking spaces.
An earlier version of this post omitted the Cycle House development.

Q: string.Format Input string was not in correct format for string with curly brackets already as part of the format C# I am trying to format a Json input to a JSON RPC. For example, the JSON am goint to post is as following,
"{"filter":{ "Ids": [123, 124], "Types":["EMPLOYEE"]}}"

which I expect to return users with id 123, 124 and of type EMPLOYEE. But for the Ids parameter, I want to may it dynamic so that I can set the value in my C# calling method like the following
string.Format("{\"filter\":{ \"Ids\": [{0}], \"Types\":[\"EMPLOYEE\"]}}", "123, 124");

when doing so, I get the format exception "Input string was not in correct format"....
I know, I can build up the string using string.concat or string builder. Am just curious, if there is any solution to overcome this string.format exception in the event when a string has curly brackets (am assuming this is the cause of the exception) already.

A: You have to escape "{" and "}"-chars by using "{{" resp. "}}".

Podul Președintele Costa e Silva, cunoscut și sub numele de Podul Rio-Niteroi, este un pod ce traversează Golful Golful Guanabara al statului Rio de Janeiro din Brazilia. Acesta conectează orașul Rio de Janeiro de municipalitatea din Niterói.
În prezent acesta este cel mai lung pod din beton precomprimat din emisfera sudică, iar al șaselea cel mai lung din lume. De la finalizarea sa în 1974 până în 1985 a fost al doilea cel mai lung pod din lume.

Conceptul său de design datează din 1875 .Făcut pentru a conecta cele două orașe vecine, separate de Golful Guanabara .La început  intenția a fost să se construiască un tunel apoi un pod.
La 23 august 1968 presedintele Artur da Costa e Silva a semnat un decret pentru autorizarea proiectului, pentru construirea podului.
Podul a fost proiectat de Ministrul Transportului Mario Andrezza, sub conducerea acestuia podul a fost început și terminat.

Construcția a început în mod simbolitic pe 23 august 1968, în prezența reginei Elisabeta a ll-a a Regatului Unit și a Prințului Philip duce de Edinburgh, alături de Mario Andrezza(Ministrul Transportului), aceasta fiind prima lor vizită în Brazilia.Munca efectivă a început în ianuarie 1969 și a fost deschis pe data de 4 martie 1974.

Numele său oficial este Podul Costa e Silva, în onoarea președintelui care a ordonat construcția sa. "Rio-Neitro" a fost doar o poreclă care curând a devenit mult mai cunoscută decât numele său oficial. În ziua de astăzi aproape nimeni nu se mai referă la el cu numele său oficial.

The leader is the one who provides the team direction.
And when others are pointing fingers, the leader provides protection.
I am the oldest child, and I remember having my brothers and sisters follow me around, and we sang, "Following the leader, the leader, the leader, we're following the leader wherever (s)he may go." If you remember, in Disney's Peter Pan the kids would do whatever the leader did.
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.

Keeping the momentum going when pursuing long-term goals can be tough.

'Tis the season to talk about the Olympics, and I can't help but think that each and every one of them had a cheerleader encouraging them to stick with it and grab their dream.
I am blessed to have a few of those people in my life. They aren't the people you would naturally think would be my champions. But there are those who tell me that I am good enough to reach my dream and that if anyone could do it, it's me.
Today was a great day of encouragement. I had the opportunity to chat with one of my speaking role models, Ed Tate, and I gained insights on my new venture. I also got encouragement from a leader in my company who told me I had skills which make me uniquely qualified to do what I want to do.
Find these people in your life, the ones who will tell you that you're great and who won't let you give up on your dreams! Find the people who see you for who you are becoming, not just the person you are. And when you find them, don't forget to tell them how much you appreciate them!

New Extant American Patent Corkscrew Found
by Mark Woodard
I was walking through my local antique mall recently and I spotted a Clough wire corkscrew with wooden sheath. The sheath advertised "Underhay Oil Co., / P.H. / Auto Oil / Boston." It was in nice condition and priced at a mere $2.00, so I picked it up, paid for it, and stuck it in my coat pocket.
When I returned home, I took the item out of my pocket and was about to toss it into a drawer with a few dozen other Cloughs, but I decided to take another look at it. What I saw was quite surprising. The butt end of the wooden sheath was recessed, and in the recess was a small metal point, much like the tip of a nail.
I had never seen a Clough corkscrew sheath like this before, so I grabbed my copy of Ron MacLean and Bob Nugent's book, William Rockwell Clough, Inventor and Manufacturer of over a Billion Corkscrews, to see what this strange spike was. Much to my surprise, I did not find any mention of this type of sheath in Ron's book. I emailed Ron some pictures and I expected the "Corkscrew Fountain of Knowledge" to tell me exactly what it was. He too was stumped. The only clue was a somewhat worn patent marking in small letters on the sheath. The best I could make out was "???G CO., WALTHAM, PAT. JUNE 2, ?90?"
I checked Fred O'Leary's invaluable book on American patents, Corkscrews: 1000 Patented Ways to Open a Bottle, and found this patent drawing on page 234. It matched my corkscrew and sheath exactly. Eureka!
On June 2, 1908, the USPTO issued utility patent # 889,556 for a "Cigar Tip Perforator". The inventor was not William R. Clough, but another familiar name - Augustus W. Stephens. He lived in Waltham, Massachusetts and it was there that he ran the Stephens Manufacturing Company. Stephens patented and manufactured a variety of bottle openers, corkscrews, and the like during the early part of the 20th century (see Corkscrews by Fred O'Leary and Just For Openers by Don Bull and John Stanley for patent references.) The sheath that I found shows the word "WALTHAM", suggesting that it was manufactured at the Waltham location. I now knew that I was holding an example of Augustus Stephens' patented variation of a Clough corkscrew sheath. Yet there is no photograph of an extant corkscrew of this type in Fred O'Leary's book, suggesting that it is a rare find. This gives all of you American patent corkscrew collectors something new and interesting to hunt for, or as Fred says, "It will also complicate life for collectors attending antique shows and flea markets. No longer will we be able to pass by a junk display case without looking at every sheath."
In his patent specification, Stephens refers to the patent drawing and states "[item] f represents a perforating device or pin, the shank of which is firmly imbedded in the body a', the pointed outer end of the pin projecting into the cavity e, so that it is adapted to penetrate a cigar tip inserted in said cavity." He also describes the sheath as having "…a handle portion which enables it to be readily manipulated, and is at the same time adapted to serve as a storage receptacle for another article, such as a cork screw, the whole being adapted to be carried in the pocket of the user."
You can view the full online patent specification here .
So I posed the question to Ron and Fred, "Would there have been a cooperative effort between Clough and Stephens to produce these special sheaths?"
Ron replied, "I agree there may have been some connection between Stephens & Clough who certainly manufactured the corkscrew and could have made the sheath perforator as well? I wish I had known before as it really belonged in the Clough book. It will be interesting to discover who else/how many who have found the same item. I was not aware of its existence, surprised that Bob Nugent had not found one, perhaps it was not manufactured in great numbers."
Fred replied, "I found no examples in my travels to photograph for the book. At least I found the patent, which is a good example of why I researched ALL patents, rather than just those classified as corkscrews. I surely would have missed it (and many others) had I stuck to the classification system.
"As to the Clough-Stephens connection, or lack thereof... What I know from the patents and tools themselves -- not recorded history -- is that Clough marked his plain wood sheath corkscrew with the 1900 patent, which was for his corkscrew making machine. There was no mention of a sheath in the drawings or specifications -- all 12 pages of them. Clough's 1910 patent talks only of a bottle cap lifter (the 'Decapitator') as an attachment to or modification of a wood sheath, much as Stephens' cigar perforator is also an adaptation of a generic wood sheath. Clough's was intended to hold a corkscrew. Stephens was not committed to a corkscrew -- it could be "another article". Both had different mind sets and both piggybacked on the wood sheath, which was considered a given.
"Both Stephens and the 1910 Clough patent applications overlapped. Clough applied Oct. 16, 1907; Stephens less than a month later on Nov 8. Stephens, however, got to the finish line in less than 7 months; Clough's relatively equally simple concept took over two years. There could be a simple explanation for this -- application technicalities, reviewer backlog, illness, vacations, etc., so no great meaning should be attached to the disparity in approval time.
"If one concludes there is no connection to be found in the patent documentation or process or in the marking of the sheaths, on the other hand, the similarities and short distance between Waltham, Mass and Alton, N. H. cannot be overlooked. Surely these two guys had to know what the other was up to vis a vis the patent office, and especially with Stephens using the Clough corkscrew. It is no stretch to surmise they got together on making sheaths. There just isn't any evidence of it... yet."
So did Clough manufacture the Cigar Tip Perforator sheaths, was it a cooperative effort, or did Stephens simply purchase the wire corkscrews from Clough and make the sheaths himself? It is unclear, but the circumstantial evidence seems to point to the latter - that the sheaths were made solely by Stephens. I'll present the evidence below and let you be the judge.
The most significant piece of circumstantial evidence is Stephens' "All-Ways" combination opener. The All-Ways included a sheathed Clough wire corkscrew and the handle of the All-Ways is typically marked "A. W. Stephens Mfg. Waltham Mass." This suggests that Stephens had the capability to manufacture wooden sheaths in his Waltham factory, perhaps as early as 1901. So when it came time to make the Cigar Tip Perforators, it seems only logical that Stephens would have manufactured them in-house also.
The Cigar Tip Perforator sheath is marked with the Stephens' factory location of Waltham - another strong indication that it was made in Waltham, not Alton.
The Stephens patent states that the sheath may be used to keep "other articles" besides a corkscrew, and he specifically mentions that "The extension a may be used for holding toothpicks or other articles usually carried in the pocket, a suitable stopper being provided for closing the mouth of the cavity b." There may be examples of Stephens toothpicks cases out there as well (I don't know of any toothpick case collectors to ask!) If Stephens did make sheaths for other purposes, he certainly would have done it in-house as well. I'm sure that Clough had no interest in producing toothpick cases and the like.
There are dramatically fewer Cigar Tip Perforators than Decapitators extant, suggesting that Clough had no vested interest in making the Cigar Tip Perforators, else we surely would have found many more of them. It seems that production of the Stephens sheath must have been very brief.
Unless some contrary evidence comes to light, I think we must conclude that Clough's only involvement was to provide the corkscrews for the Cigar Tip Perforator, much as he supplied Stephens with the corkscrews for the All-Ways.
To complete this story, I need your help. Please take a look at every one of your wooden sheathed corkscrews and check to see if any of them include the Cigar Tip Perforator. If you find any, email me (mark22gg@yahoo.com) and describe any markings on the sheath. Look for an update in a future edition of The Weekly Screw.
Author's Note: I would very much like to thank Fred O'Leary, Ron MacLean, Josef L'Africain, and Don Bull for their assistance in preparing this article.
Editor's Note: Mark Woodard is an engineer with NASA based in Maryland. Mark is an avid corkscrew collector and is currently working on a book about the inventor of the crown cork (William Painter: Inventor and Industrialist).
Mark Woodard and a number of other corkscrew collectors are now using the new Google patent search engine. On the website over seven million U. S. patents can be searched using key words. Using the advanced search allows the user to select a number of variables.
The patents were evidently added to the website using OCR technology. As a result, users are apt to find some errors in listings. For example, on the page for Harry Vaughan's U. S. Design Patent D46762 the inventor name appears as Harry L. Vattghan. Nevertheless, this is an excellent research tool.
An terrific site for researching international patents is the German website depatisnet.de.
Readers are encouraged to research corkscrews and to submit articles to The Weekly Screw.
Anonymous Postcard
Apparently intrigued by the "corkscrew trees" featured in recent issues, an anonymous reader mailed a huge postcard to The Weekly Screw.
The card, like the tree, is huge. It measures 4" x 10".
The postmark is San Jose, California.
Also curious is that we received an anonymous letter to the editor:
I enjoyed the photos of corkscrew trees in recent issues. I am fairly new to this hobby and, frankly, I was not aware that corkscrews grew on trees.
However, there are none visible on the corkscrew trees so I suspect these photos were all taken during the off-season. Or they had been harvested early by over zealous collectors.
Do you have any photos showing corkscrews actually growing on trees?
Editor's response: Welcome to this twisted hobby. Your question is answered in the photo below.
Not only are corkscrews growing on this tree but bottles are as well.

Saudi urged to release 30 jailed journalists and abandon its superficial PR exercise
July 11, 2019 at 3:15 pm | Published in: Middle East, News, Saudi Arabia
A woman in prison [Twitter]
A campaign to free 30 jailed journalists has been accelerated by Reporters Without Borders. The group which advocates for press freedom revealed that it was left with no option other than to increase pressure on the kingdom after what appeared to be an agreement for the expected release of journalists during Ramadan collapsed.
Reporters Without Borders have been in close contact with Riyadh since April. Representatives of the group are said to have met with several Saudi officials, including the public prosecutor and media minister, as well as the foreign and justice ministers. Their visit was spurred by the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the country's poor record on press freedom.
Details of the meeting, which were released in the New York Times, show that the delegation from Reporters Without Borders urged the Saudi government to free the 30 journalists detained in the kingdom. Riyadh's dismal record of its ranking in the organisation's annual press freedom index – where it is placed 172 out of 180 countries – was also discussed.
READ: Saudi journalist tortured to death in prison
"They took time to hear what we had to say, and to explain why the country is 172 in the press freedom index," said Christophe Deloire, secretary general of Reporters Without Borders. "It's the first time they were so badly ranked, and they were of course not satisfied with that."
The lack of action from the Saudis and the kingdom's failure to issue pardons for the detained journalists during Ramadan – as had been discussed, prompted the group to release information this week about its meeting with the Saudis in an effort to add further pressure on Riyadh.
The detained group of 30 journalists include TV presenters, editors, columnists and bloggers. According to Reporters Without Borders, they are "the victims of an opaque and arbitrary judicial system, because of what they said in an article, a TV interview, a blog post or even a single tweet."
The group monitoring press freedom urged global leaders to think of Riyadh's poor human rights record and over poorer record on press freedom before going to the G20 summit next year in Riyadh.
"When you take international responsibilities, you cannot be in a situation where you have so many journalists in jail, and what happened last year," said Deloire. He urged the Saudis to do the right thing by releasing the journalists instead of engaging in superficial public relations exercises.

Toponymie

Histoire
Placé au carrefour de voies fluviales et terrestres, le site de Decize a favorisé l'implantation humaine. Les premières traces d'activité remontent au Néolithique, comme en témoignent les silex retrouvés.

Époque celtique
À l'époque celtique, Decize est un oppidum des Éduens, connu sous le nom de Decetia. La première mention de Decetia nous est donnée par Jules César, dans ses Commentaires sur la Guerre des Gaules.

Selon ses commentaires (Livre VII, chapitre XXXIII), César y aurait réuni le sénat de la cité pour résoudre le conflit opposant Convictolitavis et Cotos, deux chefs éduens, pour la magistrature suprême (vergobret). César choisit Convictovitalis comme magistrat suprême des Éduens, pensant ainsi en faire des alliés.

La ville est une des stations de la table de Peutinger.

Moyen Âge
Le Moyen Âge est l'époque qui nous a laissé le plus de traces de Decize. Installé au départ sur une île de la Loire, le bourg s'est rapidement étendu de part et d'autre du fleuve.

On raconte qu'au milieu du  le corps de l'évêque Aregius, mort à Nevers, fut placé dans une barque qui, sans aucune aide, aurait remonté la Loire jusqu'à Decize, où il fut enterré. Sous le nom de Saint-Aré, il devint donc le protecteur de la ville et le saint patron de la paroisse.

Les comtes de Nevers y font établir un château, aujourd'hui en ruines, et des murs d'enceinte dont témoigne encore la porte du Marquis d'Ancre.

Au , des bénédictins se sont installés dans la ville et y ont fondé le prieuré Saint-Pierre, qui passera plus tard (au ) aux mains des religieux Minimes, qui reconstruisirent une partie des bâtiments du couvent et de l'église.

Temps modernes
De 1691 à 1694, Marcelline Pauper (1666-1708) va fonder dans la ville une succursale des Sœurs de la Charité de Nevers pour soulager la misère du peuple. Au , la ville subit de nombreuses transformations. Guillaume Godard,  de Decize de 1772 à 1779 et conseiller du roi à la connétablie de France, organise la construction du pont sur la Vieille Loire et pose la première pierre en 1775 (le pont fut achevé en 1783). Lors d'une famine, et pour donner du travail aux indigents, il fait construire la promenade des Halles en y faisant planter des platanes dont certains existent encore aujourd'hui. La promenade fut inscrite en 1932 au titre des sites naturels classés.

Au cours de la période révolutionnaire de la Convention nationale (1792-1795), la commune a porté provisoirement les noms de Decize-le-Rocher et de Rocher-la-Montagne.

Elle fut chef-lieu de district de 1790 à 1795.

Entre 1790 et 1794, les communes voisines de Brain, Saint-Maurice-les-Decize et Saint-Prive-les-Decize sont rattachées à Decize.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le général Robert Caillaud, originaire d'Auvergne, a commandé la libération de Decize en 1944 face aux 13 000 hommes du général Elster.

Une plaque commémorative a été dévoilé lors d'une cérémonie protocolaire en présence d'une soixantaine de représentants de l'École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan (ESM), qui a offert la plaque, en l'honneur du général Caillaud, le parrain de cette 207e promotion. Le 152e régiment d'infanterie de Colmar était également présent pour commémorer un de leurs aînés, le vendredi 10 septembre 2021, à l'entrée du pont du 152e-RI au faubourg d'Allier.

La Résistance a fait exploser le pont dans la nuit du 9 au .

En 1946, l'Atelier technique aéronautique de Rickenbach de la SNECMA est transfèré à Decize. Il s'agit d'ingénieurs allemands (et leurs familles) travaillant sur la conception des moteurs à réaction sous la direction d'Hermann Östrich. À partir de 1947, ils sont progressivement installés sur le site de Villaroche en Seine-et-Marne.

Religieux
 Église Saint-Aré
Selon la légende, le corps de saint Aré aurait été déposé au  dans un oratoire au bord du fleuve. L'église aurait ensuite été érigée à cet endroit. L'église paroissiale dotée d'une crypte a été érigée par la suite sur celui-ci.Saint Aré était évêque de Nevers au , on sait qu'il participa aux conciles d'Orléans (549) et de Paris (552). À sa mort son corps fut déposé selon ses souhaits dans une barque sur Loire. La barque aurait miraculeusement remonté le courant au lieu de le descendre et se serait arrêtée à Decize, où l'évêque devenu saint fut inhumé. On dit que dès sa mort, de nombreux pèlerins seraient venus à Decize sur son tombeau. Le culte de saint Aré perdura jusqu'au . Après la Révolution, ses reliques furent éparpillées, puis en partie restituées en 1875, date à laquelle elles furent placées dans une nouvelle châsse.Au , les mariniers lui firent édifier une chapelle au bord de la Loire. Les parties les plus anciennes de l'église, la crypte et le chœur, sont datées en partie du  mais la majeure partie de l'église date du . Bénitier en bronze du . Des modifications ont été apportées aux  s. (portail) et  s. (nef). La seule partie romane encore visible est le chœur. L'église est classée monument historique depuis 1875. Ouverte tous les jours.

 Ancien couvent des Minimes
Le couvent des Minimes est un ancien prieuré bénédictin datant du  : le prieuré Saint-Pierre de Decize. Le comte Landry de Nevers (†1028) donne le prieuré Saint-Pierre à l'abbaye Saint-Germain d'Auxerre (le prieuré existe donc déjà avant 1028). Le prieuré s'associe en 1250 avec l'abbaye de Saint-Martin d'Autun dont en l'abbé Guillaume de Fontangy fait 1295 réparer à ses frais le prieuré, qui appartient à son couvent, moyennant certaines cessions. La construction du couvent commence dans la seconde moitié du  et se poursuit au . Des bâtiments d'origine, il nous reste le plan, les soubassements et une partie du chœur roman de l'église conventuelle. En 1559, un incendie ravagea la ville, l'église et le couvent des Minimes ne furent pas épargnés. Mais il semble qu'à cette époque le couvent était abandonné. Il fut racheté en 1621 par les Minimes, qui reconstruisirent la nef de l'église, écroulée, et les bâtiments du couvent en 1629.

If you know a man's convictions, you can predict his actions. If you understand the dominant philosophy of a society, you can predict its course. But convictions and philosophy are matters open to man's choice." What is not open to man's choice is the law Ms. Rand used to guide her observations, just as it rules reality. The law of cause and effect. The law of cause and effect is that bothersome one that makes you practice, take lessons, and learn your music. It's also the one you notice when your instrument isn't working as well as you'd like. Maybe your viola was playing great yesterday, but today it's a little choked and unresponsive. You have an effect, so you look for the cause. Is it an open seam? A difference in humidity? Did the bridge get bumped out of place or the soundpost shift? Your instrument is a dynamic structure of stresses and resistance. A slight shift in the relationship within these dynamics can bring your instrument to squawking frustration as you try to weave yourself into a Hayden quartet, or ecstasy and ease at your fingertips, playing a Bartok cadenza. In message #1 we talked about how to evaluate sound. How understanding and developing it as a skill gives you a well-rounded ability to judge any instrument. But it's for much more than the occasional effort of finding and buying the violin of your dreams. As your understanding and evaluations of sound develop into a skill, your ability to manipulate and control it under your bow will set you apart from the average player. It will also sensitize you to the dynamic flux of your instrument. And the effect its' setup has on how it responds to your commands in every category: response, evenness, and voice. There are several categories of setup we could consider. We'll cover different areas of setup in future messages. But for today we'll stick to the easily adjusted parts of acoustical setup. Namely the soundpost and bridge. The soundpost is so much more than just a post inside your instrument supporting the pressure on the top (to see it simply look through the treble side f-hole). Just as the bridge goes far beyond the obvious roll of holding the strings up. Their placement is crucial to good sound. As well as how they fit, how tight the soundpost (long or short), various thicknesses, and different cuts made on the bridge. Since the post and bridge are movable they are fit to accommodate the location of a couple of semi permanent fixtures. The bass bar and the neck. The bass bar is a fitted piece of spruce inside the top. It runs lengthwise, under the bass side foot of the bridge on a violin, viola, cello, or bass. I won't get into the acoustical properties here. For now it's enough to know that being glued on the inside, the bass bar is an anchor position for setup. The neck falls into the same anchoring category. And together they determine where the post and bridge will be fit, and what cuts need to be done so the strings line up without compromising the acoustical alignment. If your violinmaker has done a good job, your instrument will effectively be brought to its' greatest potential. And this is how you want to know your instrument. At it's best. That way when the post or bridge moves and is out of adjustment, you'll know. For example, if during intermission or a break at rehearsal, someone were to accidentally bump your instrument, knocking it out of adjustment, the first thing to look at would be the bridge. If before hand you've looked closely and noted where it's located, memorizing a strong grain it's lined up on, or an odd mark, you would look to see if it's different. Often times you can see if it's moved because of the rosin dust that's missing where the foot was (even though it would be better to wipe your instrument down as a habit before you set it down). If you see it's moved, take it to someone who knows what they are doing and have it put back. A user-friendly violin-maker will be glad to show you how to do it for the future. If it hasn't moved, check for openings (message #3). If you still don't find anything you should get into your Luthier and have your soundpost checked and adjusted. Without the right gages and tools it's almost impossible to do. Not to mention the subtlety of experience. But all the categories of sound can be affected. And they can all be manipulated by adjusting the placement of the post and bridge. Even though there are some rules of thumb for adjusting soundposts, each instrument is a little different. And because your violin, viola or cello can be damaged by less skilled Luthiers, it's wise to find someone who has been put through the tasks of learning from pedigreed professionals. Because there again, it's cause and effect. The more skilled the people you work with, the more value your instrument will retain, and the more potential you'll realize from it. ***** SADDLE: The saddle is the small piece of ebony set into the edge of the top plate just underneath the tailpiece (where the strings hook in below the bridge). The saddle is tough enough to withstand the wear and tear of the "tailgut" that goes across it and hooks onto the endbutton. As far as the adjustable set up is concerned, the saddle can be cut lower or replaced with a higher one in order to fine tune the set up and optimize the sound.

Excitement At Progress On Cove Sailing Club's New Marina
Cove Sailing Club in Cork Harbour has expressed excitement at progress being made on its new marina.
Planning approval was granted this past May for the marina at Whitepoint, scaled down from a larger scheme that faltered in the planning stages some years ago.
Contracts were signed last month for the 30-berth facility designed by Byrne Looby from their Cork office.
And construction began at the end of October, with the breakwaters recently cast across the water at Ringaskiddy.
"This is a huge step forward in the overall development process and it's great to see the project progressing and coming together," said the club, which expects the marina to be completed and open well in advance of the 2020 sailing season.

Speaking at the contract signing last month, Kieran Dorgan, Commodore of Cove Sailing Club, said the new marina would provide state-of-the-art facilities year-round and accommodate both locals and visitors.
This week Cove Sailing Club celebrated its centenary with a gala dinner in the town's Commodore Hotel, as reported on Afloat.ie yesterday.

Reviving Cove Sailing Club in Cork Harbour
Sailing has its 'ups-and-downs' and a hundred years brings many changes as the years roll by, both good times and those that are more difficult.
Sailing in the Cork Harbour town of Cobh has experienced this, an experience which underlines that history repeats itself. There were once two sailing clubs in the town, then there was one, now there are two again.
That there are two is the result of difficulties which set back what had been the main club as it approached its centenary. Problems for Cove Sailing Club emanated from the decision to provide a much-needed marina on the town's seafront when financial problems led to difficulties that had to be dealt with and there was movement away of members who felt more concentration was needed on sailing and founded the Great Island Sailing Club. That was the motivating force behind the foundation of the Cork Harbour Combined Clubs League, which is in its second pretty successful year.

Positive things can happen from problems and this was the approach taken by Cove Sailing Club's Commodore Kieran Dorgan when I spoke to him about the future for the club: "Sailing is back, we worked through our difficulties and now we're driving on."
"There were once two sailing clubs in the town, then there was one, now there are two again"
The club's committee view is that "the next few years provide an opportunity to put sailing in Cobh firmly on the map and we plan to work closely with other clubs within the harbour to adapt to the challenges of encouraging new boat ownership and participation in sailing."
This is the centenary year of Cove SC and the positive approach has been marked by getting planning approval and financial backing for the marina at Whitepoint which had been at the source of its difficulties.
So, when I spoke to Commodore Dorgan for the Podcast, he first recalled that this is not the only time when there have been two sailing clubs in Cobh.

Cove Sailing Club Launches Its Cork Harbour Centenary Sailing Programme
Cove Sailing Club launched an exciting centenary programme at Cork Harbour's Sirius centre in Cobh, the former clubhouse of the Royal Cork Yacht Club on Friday, May 17 writes Bob Bateman.
In order to mark the special occasion, CSC Commodore Kieran Dorgan published a 100-year anniversary booklet commemorating the club's important history from 1919 to 2019.

Cove Sailing Club Celebrates Planning Approval For New Marina At Whitepoint
Cove Sailing Club has announced that Cork County Council gave approval on Monday (13 May) to its plans for a new 25-berth marina located at Whitepoint.
Earlier this year saw the display of new plans for the marina, scaled down from a larger scheme that faltered in the planning stages some years ago.
It was reported in the East Cork Journal in March that the new marina plan — touted as a major boost to marine tourism in the Cork Harbour town — would be divided between visitor moorings and club spaces, with a 40m pontoon for ferry sailings to Spike Island.
The club hailed its now green-lit joint venture with the council as "fantastic news for the people of Cobh and the Cork Harbour area" and announced it would be holding meetings in the coming weeks for those interested in a berth or to discuss the project in greater detail.
Cove Sailing Club is also celebrating its centenary this year, and will launch a special yearbook to mark the occasion this Friday evening 17 May from 8pm at the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh.
New Cobh Marina Plans Set For Public Display
Cobh may finally get a new marina in what's being touted as a major boost to marine tourism in the Cork Harbour town, as plans are prepared for public display.
The East Cork Journal has details on the new €450,000 development — scaled down from a larger plan that faltered a number of years ago — which would see 25 berths divided between visitor moorings and club spaces, and a 40-metre pontoon that would serve as a ferry port for access to Spike Island.
Future expansion is also envisaged for the new scheme, a joint venture between Cork County Council and Cove Sailing Club — which last month celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The Cork Harbour institution has since been joined in the area by the new Great Island Sailing Club, established after Cove's previous marina plans failed to progress and prompted concerns over its pressures on sailing activities.

Cove Sailing Club Celebrates 100 Year Anniversary
Cove Sailing Club in Cork Harbour this year celebrates its 100th year anniversary and plans are in place to celebrate its history and further lay new roots to carry it on and grow for another 100 years writes Commodore Kieran Dorgan.
From the early days of the William Fife designed "Cork Harbour One Designs" Cove Sailing Club has a strong affiliation with boat building and the town itself. Today this is ever present with the large
number of "Rankin" dinghy boats that sail up and down the harbour front linking the clubs past and its future.

2018 was a defining year as the club worked diligently to build on its history and set about securing a solid foundation to continue and provide a platform for the people of Cobh and the surrounding areas
to enjoy sailing and all the fun and excitement it offers.
"2018 was a defining year as the club worked diligently to build on its history"
A detailed plan of all the events marking this historic year will be published in the coming weeks and we invite all past and present members to help share their memories, stories and pictures with the
The club is committed and focused in its pursuit to provide a marina facility that will be all-encompassing for the many varied sporting organizations to enjoy through Cobh, East Cork and
Harbour area; continuing the hard work and dedication of previous committees to deliver this most sought after piece of community infrastructure.

The committee is working hard to produce our 100-year anniversary booklet and feel this will be a very special collaboration on the club's history.
The 2019 Sailing season promises to be a bumper year on the water with the return of the family-friendly, Social, Friday night racing in July and August for the cruiser classes providing a stepping
stone for new and novice members to try sailing and racing. Along with the highly successful "Cork Harbour Combined Clubs League" with our neighbouring clubs, 2019 will be a busy summer for all.
We will endeavour to provide a safe fun space for our junior members to learn and develop their sailing skills through weekly summer racing and professionally accredited sailing courses.
The club is really looking forward to hosting some of the harbour's most special races including the fabulous "Brooklands Cup" and "Ballinacurra Cup" for dinghies made famous by the visiting boats
from around the harbour including the highly competitive but very social National 18 Class.
Our annual "Cove at Home" invites cruiser and dinghy classes from all over the harbour to race in front of our iconic home town under the watchful eye of St. Colman's Cathedral which also celebrates its
100 year anniversary of consecration in 1919.
The "Cobh Peoples Regatta" in August will be a celebration of sail with boats vying to win the Harbour's most valuable silverware. The regatta will also host a very unique race for the "Rankin
Trophy"; this is an annual gathering of these very special boats and embodies the spirit of "Cove Sailing Club".
The culmination of the 100-year celebration is the Legendary "Cobh to Blackrock" race and plans are afoot to have 100 boats compete in this annual harbour classic.
Our full range of membership for the 2019 season is now open.
Further information about membership and the 100-year celebrations will be provided on our club website www.covesailingclub.ie over the coming weeks.
Welcome 'Great Island Sailing Club', a New Yacht Club in Cork Harbour
Cork Harbour will have a new name in sailing this season - the Great Island Sailing Club, formed to ensure the continuance of sailing at Cobh, following difficulties which arose in Cove Sailing Club as it attempted to build a marina at Whitepoint.
The development is on an amicable basis between the two clubs, according to both.
"The aim is to ensure that sailing continues and develops in Cobh and the new club is open for membership and registration," said Johanna Murphy, Commodore of the new club where the Sailing Secretary is Pat Coakley
Kieran Dorgan, Commodore at Cove Sailing Club, said that club is continuing to pursue the completion of the marina. "The Committee are working to resolve the situation and wish to support sailing/boating activities in any way it can. We are fully committed to getting the club through the current situation, the marina completed and to continue with sailing/boating in the coming years. The centenary anniversary of the club is due to happen next year and our aim is to have the marina in place for the people of Cobh."
"Everyone is working together to ensure that sailing continues and develops. That is what we all want for the harbour and for Cobh. Concentrating on that is what the Great Island Sailing Club will be doing," said the Great Island SC Commodore, Johanna Murphy. "Things are progressing after the difficulties which arose, which it was necessary to resolve to ensure the continuance of sailing activities."
Meetings were held over the past few months to resolve the situation, when members expressed concern that sailing activities were being affected by the demands of developing the marina.
The outcome is a decision to form the new club, to which cruiser and dinghy sailing is moving, while Cove Sailing Club continues in existence, with its focus on the marina. Cove SC is making its resources of support boats and dinghies available to the new club.
Developing a marina is a challenging and financially demanding business. The plans of Cove SC were hit when an expected and, it is understood, promised financial support grant from the public body, SECAD, did not materialise. The Port of Cork, which encountered public opposition to its own plans for major development at Ringaskiddy amidst concerns, particularly at Monkstown, for its possible impact on sailing, expressed objection concerns about the Cove SC marina plans, apparently because of its own expansion of cruise line berth facilities at Cobh.
A formal launch is planned in May, with a programme for both cruiser and dinghy sailing and the continuance of junior training.
The new club will be involved in joint sailing with the Royal Cork YC and Monkstown Bay SC, the Naval sailing Squadron and Eddie English's Sail Cork, according to Johanna Murphy.

Cove Sailing Club Announces Link-up With Monkstown Bay to Boost Cruiser Racing in Cork Harbour
Cove Sailing Club launched its programme for the season with confirmation of joint cruiser racing to be sailed with neighbouring Monkstown Bay SC in an attempt by both clubs to boost cruiser participation in Cork Harbour writes Tom MacSweeney.
Cove SC Commodore Joanna Radley and Monkstown Bay's Cruiser Class Captain Henry Jefferies said that the development had been discussed for some time and that both clubs would continue to have their own dedicated events, while also combining racing which would be held alternately at Cobh and Monkstown. Both clubs had experienced declining fleet numbers over recent seasons and this was a determined attempt to reverse the trend.
Royal Cork Yacht Club's Rear Admiral for Keelboats, Kieran O'Connell, who was present welcomed the development and said that the RCYC would look forward to the possibility of joining in next season when all three clubs could strengthen cruiser racing.

"This is a wonderful harbour, with great opportunities for sailing, of which every opportunity should be taken," is the approach being taken by the clubs. The joint Cove/MBSC events will concentrate on whitesail, which is the focus of Monkstown Bay SC cruisers. Cove includes spinnakers in its racing events.
The agreed approach, as previously reported by Afloat.ie will start with both clubs joining forces for the first time on Sunday May 21, starting together on the Cove SC line and again the following Saturday, May 27 On Saturday, June 3, the June Bank Holiday Weekend both clubs will race in Monkstown. The clubs will gather together again in Cobh on four Fridays in June – 9, 16, 23 and 30. A race to Kinsale, which will also be a 'feeder' for the Sovereign's Cup there, is planned on Saturday, June 17. For boats not taking part in the Cup series, there will be a race back to Cork Harbour the following day.

In July Monkstown will hold its 'At Home Regatta' on Saturday, July 8, which SCORA, the South Coast Offshore Racing Association, is expected to support and on Saturdays, July 15, 22, 29, Cove will join MBSC in racing at Monkstown. On Sunday, July 23 racing will be in Cove. On Saturday, September 2, the Ballinacurra Race will start from Cove and finish in East Ferry. Saturday, September 9, is the date scheduled for the annual Cobh-to-Blackrock Race and there are joint MBSC and Cove SC events planned on Saturdays September 16, 23 and 30.
"Hopefully, this inter-club initiative will boost cruiser racing in Cork Harbour," officers of both clubs said.
At the launch in the Quays bar and restaurant on the Cobh waterfront, Cove Sailing Secretary, Pat Coakley, announced an extensive sailing programme for both the club's dinghy and cruiser fleets. Saturday sailing will include a dedicated training schedule, outlined by Michelle Gray Mooney.

Cork Harbour Sailing Clubs Join Forces to Develop Cruiser Racing
Monkstown Bay and Cove Sailing Clubs have agreed a joint cruiser racing programme for this season which will set a new course in Cork harbour sailing, writes Afloat's Tom MacSweeney in the Evening Echo.
The neighbouring clubs have been in discussion for some time with the aim of engaging in joint racing. Like clubs around the country, it has been proving difficult to maintain cruiser racing, so getting together for inter-club racing is a way forward in strengthening interest in the sport.
Monkstown Bay SC cruisers concentrate on white sail racing while Cove has both white sail and spinnaker classes.
Both have agreed a series of inter-club white sail events, when cruisers from both will race together. They will also run their own club sailing programmes, so this could be the 'best of both worlds' for the sailors. It is a positive development, one to be welcomed in bringing clubs in Cork Harbour together.
While there may be some adjustments to the schedule as the season progresses, which can invariably happen with the best-laid plans, the agreed approach involves both clubs joining forces on Sunday May 21 and Saturday, May 27, starting together on the Cove SC line. Monkstown will, in the same month run its own weekly Thursday night league. Cove will launch its sailing programme with a formal announcement of the season's plans on May 5.
On Saturday, June 3, the June Bank Holiday Weekend both clubs will race in Monkstown which will also be the Sea Hennessy Trophy for Monkstown boats, to honour that village's much-revered sailor, the late Charlie Hennessy. The clubs will gather together again in Cobh on four Fridays in June – 9, 16, 23 and 30. A race to Kinsale, which will also be a 'feeder' for the Sovereign's Cup there, is planned on Saturday, June 17. For boats not racing in the Cup series, this will be an overnight occasion, with a race back to Cork Harbour the following day.
In July Monkstown will hold its 'At Home Regatta' on Saturday, July 8, which SCORA, the South Coast Offshore Racing Association, is expected to support and on Saturdays, July 15, 22, 29, Cove will join MBSC in racing at Monkstown. On Sunday, July 23 racing will be in Cove.
August is generally the month when boats head West for holiday cruising, so no joint racing is planned, but they will gather again in September. On Saturday, September 2, the Ballinacurra Race will start from Cove and finish in East Ferry. Saturday, September 9, is the date scheduled for the annual Cobh-to-Blackrock Race and there are joint MBSC and Cove SC events planned on Saturdays September 16, 23 and 30.
Hopefully, this inter-club initiative will boost cruiser racing in Cork Harbour.

Cork Harbour Cove to Blackrock Race (PHOTO GALLERY HERE)
Cove Sailing Club's own Beneteau First 36.7 Altair was the class one winner of yesterday's annual Cobh to Blackrock race writes Bob Bateman. The Cork Harbour fixture that was postponed due to bad weather a fortnight week ago set sail in light westerly winds yesterday with a good turnout of all sorts of cruisers and dinghies that included some local Rankin dinghy entries.
The course was upriver from the start line at Cobh to the finish line at Blackrock Castle.
Cove Sailing Club Commodore Aidan Mc Aleavey, with support from the Naval Squadron's Soubrette from Haulbowline acting as comittee boat, sent the fleet off with a flooding tide and a beat up to Whitepoint then a reach onwards to Marino Point.
The dinghy fleet started first then the white sail division followed by traditional craft with racing classes 1,2,3 last to start.
Second in class one was Ria Lyden's X332 Ellida with Paul Tingle's X34 Alpaca from Royal Cork third.
George Radley's Half tonner Cortegada was the class two winner. The race is part of CSC September League. Full results are here

Gogama is an area known for its wilderness and wildlife and is situated in the middle of a vast forest with the nearest city located at a distance of over 100 kilometers. Moose, black bear, wolf, fox, marten, lynx, beaver, muskrat, otter, skunk and weasel are only some of the fur bearing animals that thrive in the area. Hunting and trapping of these animals is regulated by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
Animals are often seen while driving the local roads. Travelers would be well advised to keep a sharp lookout especially at night, for moose, since these animals are often spotted by the roadside and are unpredictable as to their direction of flight when approached by a vehicle. Their size, akin to a horse makes them dangerous should a collision occur.
A wide array of birds from the tiny chickadee to the larger herons and eagles can be found in the region. There are abundant ducks and geese and the area is famous for harboring a large population of partridge. Again, hunting of these and other birds is regulated by the MNR and links to information and licensing will be provided below.
Photographic opportunities abound and many a once in a lifetime shot was lost by not having a camera at hand, so be advised to have your equipment readily available.
The area has a sizeable trapping community, again regulated and overseen by the MNR.
Listed below are some pertinent links .


Katherine has been playing rodent! She has been busy voicing scenes for the The Nut Job 2 in which she reprises her role as Andie the squirrel.
Director Cal Brunker, who co-wrote the script with Bob Barlen, posted a photo on social media of the trio in the studio, recording the new film.
Set to hit theaters in May 2017, The Nut Job 2 is the sequel to the 2014 feature which scored the biggest box office opening ever for an independent, animated film – surpassing $120 million at the global box office.
