I feel like this could be the most non-spring look possible. I feel like I get away with it because it's very pink! Not your every day pastels or sheer lip colours but something in your face & unapologetic. I guess most would wear this as a night time look but I did this in the day time & loved it. Strong eyes & strong lips complemented each other because my pale skin looked a little stark with just the eye make-up on. Either way let's get down to how I put this one together, the base isn't included as I did a very recent post on My Spring & Summer Foundation Routine.
Pink is not a colour I've really been into even trying. I randomly picked a Kiko Long Lasting Stick cream shadow on a trip to Leeds & this is the first time I felt the urge to use such a bold shade. It does contain glitter but it gives a metalic finish rather than sparkly, swipe this across the lid then blend out with my Real Techniques Oval Shadow brush or smudge with your finger. You can see this on the left photo on the right eye. This has to be done as soon as you apply it because once it drys it's not going anywhere until you choose to take it off. I loved that this was a perfect base for Macs Cranberry Eyeshadow which just added extra colour to blend it up to the crease & out with my Mac 217. It has an irridecent finish that I really love but until now didn't have something that went with it. This is on the left photo on the left eye.
To finish off the eyes I used my Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal making a line as close to the lashes as possible. It doesn't have to be perfect as I smoked it out with the Mac 217. If you put too much liner on or more on one than the other just go over this using your blending brush & a bit more Cranberry. I'm all about eye make-up that you can easily adjust so I don't have to start again! To finish this look I went with Benefits Roller Lash. I like this mascara because it does give a decent coating to the lashes but occasionally when I do the second eye it clumps a little. Possibly eyeshadow that's on my lashes I'm not sure but it gives a nice defined flutter that is strong enough to stand out from the look I've created on the lid. I finished off by adding more Rimmel Scandaleyes to my upper line so I can fill in any gaps from underneath so there's no white bits showing & in the waterline too.
Last but not least I filled in with my brows with the still being used Mac Brows Pencil which is just too easy & simple that I haven't gone for anything else yet. I would say that I may need a different shade as it feels a little warm or just maybe not dark enough. That being said my brows lighten up as far as going blonde in summer like I have missing sections of my brow! Does anyone else get that? Maybe have to go have them dyed. Then I follow by adding some Clinique Fresh Bloom All Over Colour to tie my cheeks in without them looking to strong just a nice blush highlighting combo shade. Last but not least the perfect shade to go with this look had to be Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Damned I always saw this as a deep red but it's more like a dark Magenta which suits this look. I apply it how I do in my Lipstick with a lip Ring post but keep the edges very soft & undone.
Do you dare to go this dramatic? This is my dip into pink shades, maybe I will try to make it more Spring inspired but I do love my bold & darker shades! What do you think?

No. 68 Milford Street is on the corner of Culver Street, diagonally opposite the site of Foster's the bakers. In recent years this was a bric-a-brac shop, previously Regency Tiles and before that Bob's Tiles. Between 1945 and 1967 it was home to C. B. Ralph's groceries shop, run by Charles Ralph.
The shop was renovated during the summer of 2016 and the work revealed the old signs for Ralph's the grocers. Our friends at the Fisherton History Society Facebook group put up a photo which attracted many comments from people who remembered using the shop.
David Ralph has very kindly sent us a wonderful selection of his photos of life in Milford Street from the 1950s and 60s. We are working on a new page so that we can do them justice and will include the link here when it is ready.
Mrs Ralph was my father's cousin and, when we were living in Rampart Road, my mother often went into the shop on the way back from town. Usually, she bought ham and I loved watching it being sliced on the large machine, recalling the smell even now! Until I was eleven, however, I was not supposed to go to the shop on my own because of the milk floats and lorries turning into Culver Street or Milford Street. Nevertheless, when running errands, I did so if I could not buy what my mother wanted in Coleman's or Percy Churchfield's Dairy! Once we moved to Harnham in 1969, we lost touch with the Ralphs but I passed their shop each evening as I drove home from Andover; a sad reminder of a community destroyed by thoughtless town planners!

Q: Redshift Auto Vacuum I have recently implemented Distribution Styles and Sort Keys on a few Redshift Tables after doing the following analysis -

*

*To find out the best candidate for Distribution Styles and Sort keys , I looked into the queries that run on these tables followed by shortlisting 1 column for Sort key & Distribution Key ( Instead of Style ) on the bases of Cardinality of the column ( Degree of Uniqueness of a columns data ) and also ran EXPLAIN query which clearly showed reduction in COST, Width & Row Scanned.

And on the basis of the above, I applied the sort key and dist key on few of the tables which produced the best performance.
Now After implementation , When I was looking into the pct_unsorted for these tables , then these are my observations -

*

*Not All Tables were Auto Vacuumed by redshift , Some Had [BG] Vacuum run where as some others only had [BG] Vacuum Delete run on them. These were the tables with 100% Unsorted data -

*Upon Looking into the Vacuum Status from stl_vacuum -

My Questions -

*

*On What grounds does Redshift decide which kind of Vacuum is to be run ( Auto Vacuum )?

*Why for some tables is redshift Running VACUUM and for others its running VACUUM DELETE ONLY ?

*What is the most Ideal or best practice of VACUUM tables to get data sorted ?

Thanks in Advance.

Drum still beats for home rule
Leon Worden · March 26, 1997
I forget now if it was Dan Hon or Jack Boyer or my mom who stuck a big sign in my hand and planted me in the dirt in front of the old Mustang Theater on Soledad Canyon Road to wave at passing motorists and remind them to vote for county formation. It was November of 1976, I was a month away from my 14th birthday, and this was my formal introduction to the strange and wonderfully horrid world of local politics.
I recently mentioned that in the early 1980s the Santa Clarita Valley spoke with one voice on issues like roads, crime and jobs. It wasn't always that way. Turn back the clock an additional 10 years, and our cross-town rivalry was just that: Newhall vs. Saugus, Canyon Country vs. both, and everybody vs. the new, upstart community of Valencia.
Canyon County formation changed all that. As flamboyant as our cross-town rivalries sometimes got, we were united in our resentment of the far-off seat of Los Angeles County government. We were never more than a distant cousin to Los Angeles, and even in the mid-1980s, before we finally became a city, the county was still taking about $4 million more in our taxes each year than it was giving back. A common enemy made us as one.
Local governance has been on the minds of Santa Claritans all my life, and the new bill from Assemblyman George Runner (R-Lancaster) to examine the way services are delivered in Los Angeles County and possibly split the behemoth county into two or more smaller counties unlocks a bunch of repressed childhood memories.
It was the summer of 1974 when my mom chaired a meeting at the new Valencia Hills Clubhouse to rekindle the fires of city formation. There had been several tries at cityhood over the years, the most recent (I think) coming in 1962. They were all set to fan the flames again when somebody piped up at the end of the meeting. City formation was OK, she said, but what you really need to do is form your own county.
The instigator was Ruth Newhall, then owner-editor of The Signal. Hers was the kernel of the idea to mount an aggressive war on Los Angeles which, although unsuccessful, compelled a future county supervisor to pay attention to us and primed the juices for the formation of the City of Santa Clarita a decade later.
We were a different community back then. Only 60,000 people would have lived in Canyon County, an area bounded on the north by Gorman, on the east by Agua Dulce and on the south by Newhall. We won the election within the boundaries of our new county but lost in the rest of Los Angeles when the firemen's PAC raised $250,000 to defeat us, under the mistaken belief that secession would cost them their jobs. (For those with long memories, the idea of supplanting some paid firefighters with volunteers did not come from county formation leaders, but from others.)
We elected five county supervisors. Most are now dead or disappeared, but one -- Carl Boyer, no relation to Jack -- continues to represent us in real life, as do Canyon County campaigners Jan Heidt and Jo Anne Darcy.
Today we get stuck with the occasional rogue politician, but overall our city representatives have been people with a long history of activism and a sense of community "oneness" borne from the teamwork it took to bring the diverse areas of the Santa Clarita Valley together in the fight for independence from downtown Los Angeles.
At the same time, we have seen term limits take their toll on the entrenched Sacramento politicians of the 1970s and '80s who, after a second Canyon County formation attempt failed in 1978, made it even tougher for a community to break away. I've never been too big on term limits, but I must admit that things are happening in Sacramento today that would have been unthinkable even a half-dozen years ago, such as the strong drive to unleash the San Fernando Valley from the City of Los Angeles.
George Runner is among that new breed of legislator from an area which, although politically and geographically different from the Santa Clarita Valley, has known the same alienation from a distant county government that inspired so many of our own community leaders. For the first time in a long time, the political climate may be right to rethink the way our county government works.

Sigur R?s Releases Split Sides Music through iTunes
Although Radiohead has made it quite clear they won't be releasing the music they composed for Merce Cunningham's Split Sides, Sigur R?s has released the three pieces of music they composed as Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do, a three-song EP exclusively available from Apple's iTunes store. Although a CD will be released in mid-March, iTunes is the only place you can (legitimately) get these tracks until then.
You can preview the songs here (you must have iTunes installed)-
1. Ba Ba
2. Ti Ki
3. Di Do
Here's some more information from the Sigur R?s website-
These three pieces of music comprising BA BA TI KI DI DO were originally written for the Split Sides performance of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, the most recent dance by Merce Cunningham. The members of Sigur R?s performed them live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's 2003 Next Wave Festival, New York on October 14, 2003 and again in Paris at The Theatre de la Ville between Dec 2-7, 2003.
On these occasions the band improvised a 20-minute section of music over a previously recorded backing track using two sheet-fed music boxes, a glockenspiel and a specially homemade percussive instrument ("bummsett" in Icelandic) comprising eight ballet shoes on a rack. The backing tracks incorporated recordings of Merce Cunningham's voice and the sound of his tap-dancing feet recorded at the Merce Cunningham Studio in Manhattan.
The results of the live improvisation (which came to mirror some elements of the choreography) were recorded at the band's studio outside Reykjavik, Iceland in late Nov. 2003. The three sections-"Ba Ba," "Ti Ki" and "Di Do"–are designed to be played in any order.
(Thanks to Sean.)

"/error/404.html" for not found as an example.
ROOT.war/WEB-INF/web.xml for custom error pages.
What is needed to configure the custom error pages on the named virtual host?
I'm guessing I need a valve that uses errorReportValve to get this right?
Maybe i am missing something, but isn't the error page mapping in the web.xml independent of virtual hosts? What i mean is as long as you configure your web.xml correctly to map the error codes to custom error pages, it does not matter whether you have virtual host configured for the application. Maybe i am wrong. Could you please post the contents of your web.xml? And does the custom error page redirection, currently work without any additional changes.
Here is some testing I have done.
1) named vhost which is actually an apache server with mod_jk (http://vhost/). /myapp/*, /anotherapp/* and *.jsp are jkMounted.
3) direct to jboss (http://jboss:8080/) on default vhost.
the names I have used in brackets are for reference purposes in this post.
A) Default context, with no app deployed to it besides the default jboss-web.deployer (i.e. ROOT.war).
None of the web.xml files for app B) and C) have any error directives in them.
why is 1) + C) giving a blank page?
how do i get 1) + B) and 2) + C) and 3) + C) to give custom without modifying web.xml? or do i need to modify web.xml on those?
its not vhost specific, it seems to be context specific.
Is there a way to set error-page location to a different context / absolute url?
but using /error/error.jsp loads /myapp/error/error.jsp, rather than the absolute path.

Whether you're a seasoned traveller or a new explorer of South India, it can be difficult to find the perfect getaway for you. If you want to stay away from the typical sights of India and discover your own sanctuary, read all about our favourite hidden treasures of South India.
Take a break to a village of utopia located right on the bank of the river Pennar, in the Kadapa districts of Andhra Pradesh. You'll soon discover that India isn't just idyllic beaches and busy cities. Gandikota is the Grand Canyon of South India. You can be easily lost in this paradise, without a care in the world.
If you love a sense of adventure when you're on holiday, the Belum Caves is the place for you to go. They are the second largest caves in the Indian subcontinent, and the longest in the plains of India. Featuring long passages, spacious chambers, fresh water galleries and siphons, it is an almost mystical hidden haven. There is a constant flow of underground water which helps form the caves, and are 150 feet at their deepest. For any adrenaline junkie heading to India, this is the ideal location for you.
St. Mary's Islands are also known as Coconut Island and Thonsepar. If you want to discover the hidden treasures of South India, a trip here should definitely be on the agenda. Geologically, they are a marvel. Sub-aerial volcanic activity formed St. Mary's Islands 88 million years ago, when the surface of the earth was entirely different. Formerly attached to Madagascar, these islands now are 6km from the Malpe fishing harbour and feature stunning columnar basaltic lava.
Engulfed in mystery, on an almost spooky level, is Dhanushkodi. Some refer to is as the Ghost Town, whilst others name is the Lost Land, but it's history is a story of legends. Previously famed for the Dhanushkodi railway line, it now hosts its beautiful ruins. In 1964, a cyclone hit a passenger train, and tragically drowned over a 100 passengers and the island has remained untouched since. Home to the smallest land border in the world at just 45 metres, it is only 29 kms west of Talamannar in Sri Lanka. This lost land is a harrowing yet spiritual place.
A landscape worthy of your dreams, let your soul relax amongst the clouds in Skandagiri Hills. Skandagiri is a mountain fortress hidden by the atmospheric landscape. Only 70 kms from the city of Bangalore, these hills are shrouded in history and the perfect escape from the rather hectic hustle and bustle of city life in India. The hills peak at 1350 metres high, and hold a breath-taking view from a breath-taking height.
If you have any tips or advice you'd like to share about visiting any of these places, or any suggestions for other great South Indian hot spots, share with us in the comments.


On 15th March, Ambassador of Denmark Ole Egberg Mikkelsen participated in the opening of the 11th International Conference on "Innovation and Creativity in the Economy" - "Sustainable Design in an Innovative Business".
"Denmark is in the top of the global ranking of innovative nations and Denmark is recognized internationally as a frontrunner in several areas of technology and research with a global impact" said the Ambassador.

GOVERNMENT IT REPORT
White House Gets the Ball Rolling on Single Credential Online ID System
By John K. Higgins
May 3, 2011 1:12 PM PT
The Obama administration has come up with a proposal for both improving and simplifying identity protection for consumers using the Internet, computers, and mobile devices. The plan would greatly reduce the need for consumers to use and remember multiple passwords or fill out separate privacy forms for multiple online accounts.
The administration's National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) seeks to better protect consumers from fraud and identity theft, enhance individual privacy, and foster economic growth by enabling industry both to move more business online and to create innovative services.
"By making online transactions more trustworthy and better protecting privacy, we will prevent costly crime, we will give businesses and consumers new confidence, and we will foster growth and untold innovation. That's why this initiative is so important for our economy," said President Barack Obama when the administration rolled out the plan last month. The final NSTIC plan was released after taking public comment on the proposal.
The concept of the NSTIC is simple. Consumers who want to participate in the program will be able to obtain a single credential — such as a unique piece of software on a smartphone, a smart card, or a token that generates a one-time digital password. Instead of having to remember dozens of passwords, the consumer can use the single credential to log into any website, with more security than passwords alone provide. Consumers will be able to use their credential to prove their identity when they're carrying out sensitive transactions, like banking, and can stay anonymous when they are not.
Among several illustrations provided by the White House were these examples:
Consumer transactions: A consumer tired of memorizing dozens of password and username combinations to conduct personal online business opts instead to get a smart card from an Internet service provider. The consumer inserts the card into a personal computer. With just clicks of a mouse, the user is able to securely move between an online bank account, a mortgage company, and a doctor. At the same sitting, the consumer can move on to sending an authenticated email to a friend and remotely check an office calendar via a workplace intranet.
Small business platform: Without making large investments in technology, a small business owner wants customers to know he can provide the same safety and privacy for online transactions as larger companies. He installs standard software and agrees to follow the program's "Identity Ecosystem" privacy and security requirements, earning a "trustmark" logo for his website. To reduce fraud, he needs to know that his customers' credit cards or other payment mechanisms are valid and where to ship his merchandise. Several different ID providers can issue credentials that validate this information. Customers can now use his website without having to share extra personal information or even set up accounts with the small business. This saves customers time, increases their privacy and confidence, and saves the operator money.
Private Sector Role
A key element of the program is the use of a consumer "credential" to facilitate transactions. Under the proposal, a consumer would, in essence, volunteer to register with a private sector identity provider, such as a bank or a telecom services company, which would securely hold personal information such as a Social Security number and other personal data, much of it of a demographic nature.
The identity provider would then issue a credential that could be used during an online transaction. The credential would serve to vouch for the consumer's identity and financial ability to conclude the transaction. However, the process would not result in disclosure of the consumer's actual personal identity. In essence, the process provides consumer verification without identification. In some circumstances, consumers could choose to release identification as well.
"A major positive factor in this initiative is the administration's commitment to using privacy enhancing technologies in online applications," John Verdi, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), told the E-Commerce Times. "The advantage of the administration's proposal is that it provides for protection of a person's identity while creating a credential that can be used for transactions."
While the concept is simple in concept for the consumer, implementation will be a challenge. The administration concedes that it would take a minimum of three years to launch an effective program and close to 10 years to achieve a totally mature system.
According to the plan, the private sector would be responsible for implementation, while the federal government would provide support and coordination services.
"The policy calls for a plurality of competing providers of identity services, rather than for a single government-run identity service. We strongly support this aspect of the plan because it provides the benefits of competition and the incentive for innovation," Mark MacCarthy, vice president for public policy at the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), told the E-Commerce Times.
"The NSTIC report also properly identifies the range of issues that need to be resolved before these identity services can flourish. But it doesn't just leave it at that — it creates a process of workshops where industry, government, civil society and academics can discuss these issues and come to a consensus on how to address them," he said.
"SIIA has advocated for a strong private sector role, and we believe the policy strikes the right balance. It provides for a leading role by private sector suppliers of identity services, but reserves the option of making changes in law and policy to remove obstacles that might prevent the full development of these services," MacCarthy added.
One element that needs fine tuning, noted MacCarthy, is the issue of allocating liability when something goes wrong in the provision of identity services.
"The proposal does not fully address this problem, though I expect it will be fleshed out in the coming workshops," he said.
The Obama administration plans to put substantial resources into supporting the initiative. The U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will have a key role in administering the NSTIC National Program Office. The administration has requested US$24.5 million in the pending 2012 budget for the program, with $7-million allocated for the program office and $17.5 million for multiple NSTIC pilot projects.
"In the meantime, we are ramping up activities this year to prepare for full implementation of the NPO and jumpstarting NSTIC implementation activities," Jeremy Grant, senior executive advisor for identity management at NIST, told the E-Commerce Times.
NIST has appointed Grant to lead the initiative. "Our immediate priority is to fully engage partners to realize and implement the NSTIC vision. We are currently focused on extensive outreach to stakeholders in both the public and private sectors," he said. Three stakeholder workshops are planned for later this year.
Big Brother Issue
The question of government involvement in any sort of identity system usually raises the question of an overly intrusive government presence. The NSTIC program is designed to limit the role of government in the process.
"From every conversation I've had with the White House team, they're simply trying to set the voluntary ground rules of an identity ecosystem that will allow the creation of a safer online experience, without a heavy handed 'big brother' approach," Michael Barrett, PayPal's chief information security officer, said on the company's official blog site.
"We intend to directly support the NSTIC, which we expect will result in many new benefits to our customers, perhaps the most immediate benefit being the use of PayPal and eBay identities within the e-government context. We think this will help all of our customers," Barrett said, "and we look forward to seeing the development of the NSTIC and the emerging identity ecosystem."

Letterpress printing is an old trade; it goes back centuries. The techniques for printing with hand-set type haven't changed much since the early 1900's. However, there is a renaissance of new makers and tradespeople making NEW wood and metal type for us letterpress printers.
This colorful, overprinted love card was created using new metal and wood type, alongside wood type that was manufactured in the late 19th century. It's something old and something new, all in one!
This is a flat card that fits perfectly in a kraft #10 envelope. Due to the print process, some slight variation in color and image will occur.


The collaborations between Farmingdale and Napier students resulted in three design fictions. These storyboards, highlighted human-centered problems that exist in the physical environments and then used the Blended Spaces Framework to solve these problems. The Blended Spaces that the students created aimed to carefully and diligently use digital technologies that dissolved into the physical environment. The goal of each design fictions is to illustrate new user experiences at Jupiter Art Land.
Each student group presented their design fictions to a panel of interaction design factually from the Centre of Interaction Design, Edinburgh Napier University. This event concluded the five day workshop. However, collaborations between the students and faculty from both institutions are on-going.

← A Review of a memorable Game 4: Smith and Skjei play unlikely heroes in thrilling Rangers 3-2 overtime win over Sharks
Game #3 – Devils 3, Sharks 2 →
Rangers host McDavid Oilers at 1 PM
This afternoon, the Rangers look to make it two in a row when they host the Oilers at The Garden. The game is one of those early 1 PM starts on a busy Saturday that includes a couple of other matinees.
It's a chance for younger fans to get a closer look at the game's best player, Connor McDavid. The 21-year old Edmonton franchise center is in his fourth season. A former Hart winner who's led the league in scoring the past two seasons totaling 208 points (71-137-208), he enters play with a goal and two assists in the Oilers' first two games. Both losses. They lost to the Devils in Stockholm last Saturday and dropped a game in Boston the other day.
Edmonton remains an enigma due to a questionable team defense that hindered McDavid's Hart chances in '17-18. A disappointing season that saw them miss the postseason following a good run in the 2017 NHL Playoffs. They lost in the second round to the Ducks in seven games.
The uncertainty surrounding them puts extra pressure on starting goalie Cam Talbot. The former Ranger is in his third year with the Oilers. After a breakthrough '16-17 that saw him set career bests in games played (73), wins (42) and shutouts (7), he struggled similarly to the team by posting a 3.02 goals-against-average (GAA) and .908 save percentage with 31 wins and just one shutout in 67 contests. So far, he's allowed seven goals on 57 shots in two starts. It's vital for the 31-year old to have a bounce back year if Edmonton is to rebound.
It'll be a tall order for the Rangers defensively against the top Edmonton line featuring McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ty Rattie. So far, Milan Lucic and Leon Draisaitl each have a goal and assist. They played on the second line with 2017 first round pick Kailer Yamamoto. He's only 20, but is worth watching. Secondary scoring is an area the Oilers need improvement on. Former Islander Ryan Strome centers the third line with another former first round pick Jesse Puljarvi a key player who must step up.
The Edmonton blueline features ex-Devil Adam Larsson and Swedish countryman Oscar Klefbom. Darnell Nurse is the defensive defenseman that should draw the tough assignments. Keep an eye on 2018 first round pick Evan Bouchard. The 19-year old has played in two games and is still looking for his first point. He was taken 10th overall.
For the Rangers, they're looking for more production out of top center Mika Zibanejad. He only has one assist so far. The righty shooter hasn't found the back of the net yet. A streaky scorer, this could be the type of game he needs to snap out of it. The Rangers can ill afford to not have Zibanejad contributing. Ditto for Kevin Hayes, who enters with one helper in four games. He gets the tough assignments as the club's checking center. However, more is expected from the defensively responsible forward. He's mostly been featured with Ryan Spooner and Jimmy Vesey. Only Vesey has scored with a two goal game in the 8-5 loss at Carolina.
David Quinn is still trying to figure out where talented Russian Pavel Buchnevich fits. He set up the big tying goal from Brendan Smith with 2:39 left the other night. Buchnevich enters with two goals including one on the power play with an assist. He won't be with Zibanejad today. Instead, Quinn has decided to mix and match, shifting Buchnevich to the second line with impressive rookie Brett Howden and Mats Zuccarello. Not a bad idea considering how well Howden has played. His two goals and assist along with strong work in the faceoff dot have made him the team's best forward. It is early, but the returns on Howden have been superb.
With Kevin Shattenkirk returning to the blueline, Tony DeAngelo comes out. Quinn will keep Fredrik Claesson in after a solid performance. Adam McQuaid sits for the first time. Here are the projected lines per Rangers Report:
PROJECTED LINEUP NYR VS EDM:
Mcquaid and DeAngelo scratched
— Rangers Report (@rangersreport) October 13, 2018
So, two lines change. The Hayes unit remains intact along with the fourth line of Filip Chytil, Vladislav Namestnikov and Vinni Lettieri. They had a good game the other day.
It should be an interesting game.

UPDATE: Two die in plane crash on Warm Springs Reservation
Holly Scholz
Officers were able to get to the crash site in the area of the Mutton Mountains Sunday morning
Two people perished in an airplane crash Saturday on the Warm Springs Reservation.
Warm Springs Police Lt. Ron Gregory said Sunday afternoon that officers were able to get to the crash site about 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 10.
"There were two people on board the plane at the time and unfortunately, both perished in the crash," Gregory said. "We're still trying to gather info on the owner of the plane, who was on board, etc. We've been in contact with FAA and NTSA, relaying information as it comes available."
He said that due to the remote location, radio communication is unreliable, and cell phone reception is spotty.
"As the day turned to night, our crews did not have the necessary tools to get through, so they resumed the following morning, spending about eight hours locating the crash site and searching the wreckage," Gregory said.
Crews recovered the remains of at least two individuals. Release of name information is pending, confirming the identification and notification of their families.
Gregory said the plane had departed from Troutdale en route to Boise, Idaho, carrying the pilot and at least one passenger. The crash portion of the investigation will be handled by National Transportation Safety Board.
Original report
A small passenger jet crashed on the Warm Springs Reservation Saturday afternoon, initiating search and rescue efforts. The condition of the passengers has not been released.
According to a news release from Warm Springs Police Chief Bill Elliott, at 2:30 p.m. Jan. 9, the Warm Springs Dispatch Center received a report from Seattle Air Traffic Control of a possible plane crash within the boundaries of the reservation in the area of the Mutton Mountains.
The plane was described as a Cessna Citation 560 passenger jet capable of transporting up to 11 passengers. The exact number of passengers in the plane has not been confirmed. The crash was confirmed by a United States Air Force military flyover as well as an Oregon State Police aircraft.
Warm Springs Police responded with the assistance of Warm Springs Fire and Safety, Wasco County Sheriff's Office, Oregon State Police, and Wasco County Search and Rescue.
The crash site is near the S390 Road accessible using the S300/Highway 3 from Schoolie Flat/Simnasho. Elliott said road conditions make access difficult due to snow and mud. Officers utilized ATVs to reach the crash site.

Gemstones are extracted from the heart of the earth. Thus, they are believed to possess a mystic and astrological connection with human beings. In accordance, certain gemstones are meant to be the most favorable for every human being, depending upon the date, time, or day of our birth.
The inception of believe in birthstones began in the year of 1912. The history of birthstones is related to Aaron's breastplate containing twelve gemstones which represented twelve Israeli tribes.
The legends about the benefits and healing powers of birthstones are numerous. Moreover, the sparkling varied colors of gemstones have been a way of connecting them to different birth months. It is believed that possessing an optimum birthstone can provide a major therapeutic influence on our lives.
However, for that purpose, it is important to learn about the righteousness of your birthstone. Have a look below to find out which gemstones is most suitably your birthstone.


The Codex argenteus, or the Silver book in Uppsala University Library, is one of the oldest and most extensive examples of the Gothic language today. In Swedish, the book is called Silverbibeln, or the Silver bible.
The Codex argenteus contains the four gospels written in the Gothic language. The translation from Greek to Gothic was done in the fourth century by the Gothic Bishop Wulfila, who also constructed the Gothic alphabet. The manuscript was probably copied in Ravenna in the period under the Ostrogoths, and possibly for their King Theoderic the Great, at the beginning of the 6th century.
It is written on thin purple coloured vellum of a very high quality in gold and silver ink. The silver script is dominant and has given rise to the term the "silver book", "codex argenteus". It was designed to be a work of magnificence, which is possibly hard to understand today. It probably originally had a splendid binding decorated with pearls and gems. The text of the Codex argenteus is one of the oldest and most extensive examples of the Gothic language of any document surviving today.
The Codex argenteus was known of in the 16th century when it was in a Benedictine Monastry in Werden in the Ruhr district. By the year 1600 it had passed into the hands of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II and was in Prague when the Swedes stormed the city in 1648. As Swedish war booty it arrived in Stockholm and became part of Queen Christina's library. After the Queen's abdication it passed to one of her librarians, Isaac Vossius, who took it to Holland. From there it was bought by the Chancellor of the Realm (and University Chancellor) Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie, who presented it to Uppsala University in 1669 with a cover in silver. The front of the cover is illustrated by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl.
The Codex argenteus originally had at least 336 leaves. Of these 187 are in Uppsala. Another leaf has survived for posterity and is in Speyer in Germany. It was discovered sensationally in 1970 in Speyer Cathedral together with some hidden relics. This leaf appears to have travelled a somewhat different path than the others before it came to light again.
In 1995 parts of the Codex argenteus were stolen from the Exhibition hall at Carolina Rediviva. Some months later the manuscript was recovered and persons involved in the theft were arrested. Since then the security surrounding the exhibited Codex argenteus has been increased.
The text of the Codex argenteus has been published in various editions. The latest and most important is the facsimile edition which was made in 1927 with high technological equipment and the expertise of among others Professor The Swedberg.

There comes a time in every ebiker's life where braking becomes a high priority, especially in a world filled with inattentive car drivers that so often do not even notice fast moving bicyclists. A car may pull out right in front of you, or open a door in front of you as you ride in a bike lane, and countless other obstacles.
In emergencies like these even a small improvement in stopping power can make a big difference, especially if you are riding an electric bike with its higher speed and increased weight. While good equipment like disc brakes are highly recommended, this article focuses on the basic information to use the brakes you have most effectively.
If you try braking hard at high speed using only the rear you will likely notice skidding. The reason behind this is one of the keys to understanding how to make the best use of your brakes.
In this picture a bike's brake has been applied hard enough that the rear completely lifts up off the ground. This is due to inertial force causing a 'load transfer', where your bike and the load on it wants to keep moving forward which shifts the load toward the front when braking. This can greatly reduce or completely eliminate the effectiveness of the rear brake the greater the speed, since as the load on the rear is reduced so is its traction, until you reach the point where the rear may no longer even contact the ground.
The rear wheel may stop rotating with good brakes, but with a reduced load on the rear it will mostly result in the aforementioned skidding. This is known as wheel lock, and it reduces both the braking effectiveness and control you have on the bike. The same does not happen with the front brakes, in fact its effectiveness is improved due to more weight being on the front.
Therefore the conventional wisdom is that you use the front brake the most, except in low traction conditions where the front may skid. If the front locks up in slippery conditions you will certainly crash due to total loss of control, so the rear brake must be used. In other words, low traction conditions call for the low traction brake. Load transfer, and therefore how much you depend on the front brake, also depends on the type of bike and where the load is placed. Additionally the overall amount of braking should be less in slippery conditions and turns regardless of which brake is used in order to maintain control.
While many bicyclists prefer to use mostly the front in regular conditions, the rear still provides some braking power if needed and can be used in a ratio primarily favoring the front brake for maximum stopping power, as shown in this motorcycle braking video which provides a comparison of braking distance for each method.
Another important concept is to keep heavy items low and centered between the two wheels. The higher you have heavy items above the wheels, the greater the load transfer when braking. In extreme circumstances this could cause the bike to flip over if braking hard enough. Conversely the lower something is on the bike the less the load transfer. This is particularly an issue to consider in the case of a heavy item like an ebike battery pack, where you have several potential mounting options including front, rear, center and carried in a backpack.
Ideally we would keep this situated low in the center triangle to maintain the dynamics of the bike as much as possible. One of the reasons why Tesla electric cars handle so well is their approach to this same concept, keeping the battery pack as low and centered as possible by placing it in the area underneath the passenger cabin typically occupied by a car's exhaust system.
Rear brake effectiveness may actually be improved in the case of putting a hub and battery in the rear since the increased rear weight would help increase the tire's contact with the ground in emergency braking. However, it would also reduce the amount of traction your front tire gets when emergency braking due to a lower than usual load transfer, since the rear wheel is weighted down and prevents the bike from pitching forward. Therefore the bike frame also plays a critical role in the optimal ratio of front to rear brake use.
For example a cruiser is low and long with a center of gravity more towards the rear, reducing the load transfer that would normally take place, and increasing the need to brake with the rear. Adding more weight to the rear would exaggerate these changes in the bike dynamics. Not necessarily a bad thing but it could require more practice to successfully manage an emergency stop without crashing.
The takeaway from all this is that as much as possible we want balance between the two wheels and a low center of gravity. The gold standard is a mid drive motor and center mounted battery on a mountain bike, this build best maintains the handling and braking of a bike.
When building an ebike make sure to install ebrakes. Ebrakes are an essential part of your system and cannot be overemphasized enough, as they cut power to the motor (or also engage the regen braking when you pull the lever, if you have a direct drive hubmotor). Most factory built bikes include this as standard, as do many kits.
One big fear for an ebike builder is that their throttle gets locked in wide open throttle position (WOT) as happened to the woman in the video. This can sometimes happen if moisture shorts the internal wires (read our article on water-proofing your ebike here). The ebrake can be a safeguard that will from keep this from happening.
Generally the more powerful the motor on your ebike, the more needed ebrakes are. If you are confident your brakes are more powerful than the motor , and your brakes are strong enough to easily lock the rear wheel if the throttle gets stuck in wide open throttle…then you may be able to argue against ebrakes. For example if you all you have is a 250 watt geared hub motor and you have hydraulic disc brakes properly adjusted…you really have no need for ebrakes. If you have a Cyclone kit 3000 watts and you got it over-volted to 7000 watts …going without ebrakes would be considered hazardous.
If you want to upgrade your current brakes to a cable-operated Avid BB7 caliper, or you want to upgrade your brakes to hydraulic (either just the front brakes, or both the front and rear), the Luna Cycles web-store carries a selection of well-regarded Avid and Shimano brake products.
Tektro is the most reputable for making quality hydraulic ebrakes that are also affordable. As you will find out adapting hydraulic brakes is the only hard type of brake to convert (because of fluid filled brake lines) of any type of ebrake.
Alternatively you can get ebrake sensors that use various technologies to sense when you pull the handle even with hydraulic brakes.
Read our guide on different install option and how to install them on the bafang mid drives for clues on how to go about installing ebrakes on an existing set up.
As you can see there are many things to think about when determining how best to use the brakes on your ebike, and it will vary depending on what you have. Take a long look at your bike, how the weight is distributed and consider the intended terrain. Above all, practice emergency braking before you need to, so you have some idea of how your bike will handle. Use varying speeds, try front and rear, different inclines and road conditions. In the end, it just might save you from a crash.
[editors notes: the cables in common cable-operated brakes have a tiny amount of "stretch" in them when actuated, and some builders prefer to eliminate that sponginess by upgrading to hydraulic brakes. Also, hydraulic brakes automatically adjust the pads to compensate for pad wear, up to the point when the pads need to be replaced.
The Avid BB7 cable-operated calipers provide a knob on the caliper to adjust for this pad wear, so no tools are needed to do that when you notice the pads have worn some, and do not grab as hard as before.
Thanks to a recommendation from squeakypeep@gmail.com, I would like to add a tip. If you don't have a favorite "upgrade" brake system, I recommend looking into the Tektro Dorado front brake hydraulic system. If you only upgrade the front brake to hydraulic, the cost (roughly $120) isn't horribly bad. It comes with a 203mm diameter disc that is a robust 2.3mm thick. It has an E-brake interface, so applying this brake will actuate the controllers power-cutoff (for as long as the brakes are applied).
Depending on how much weight and speed your ebike experiences, a lightly-loaded ebike can get pretty good performance from Kool Stop Salmon pads in the stock rim V-brake system. If you want a disc brake on the rear (or simply have a rear disc bicycle that has a weak stock disc system), a cable-operated (instead of hydraulic) disc that upgrades a common 160mm disc to 180mm and also swaps the caliper to the well-known Avid BB7's is often enough of an upgrade to satisfy most needs. They do not require any tools to adjust the pads for wear.
Nothing wrong with going to hydraulic on the rear, too, but…for most riders, the extra expense of a rear hydraulic system is not required.
I bought the BBSHD kit…..and unfortunatley the ebrake magnets don't fit on my hydraulic brakes. Even if they did, I don't really enjoy how they work, I would prefer something more instant when it comes to braking. For now I have my setup as throttle only, but I will be looking at the different options out there and buying a new front handle soon.
You might want to look at the Tektro Dorado hydralic ebrake kit. Empowered cycles has them. It replaces the whole brake mechanism, levers, even the rotor with more beefy stuff built for ebikes and the ebrake is built into it in a way you won't get with any other hydraulic option. Even got an ebrake connector for the BBSHD so it is plug and play.
I had the same problem trying to install brake cut offs on hydraulic brakes . Even the installation video on how to install them on hydraulic brakes on youtube shows the guy installing them on manual brakes . Probably because they don't work on hydraulic brakes . That was a waste of 20.00 bucks.
I mounted mine with electrical tape and they work fine, ugly but work.
This is my solution, and I am happy with it.
Good info, I got the Cyclone kit from Luna and it's a blast, just make sure to install those ebrakes! I ziptied the magnet to the lever, and the sensor to the body of my brakes, then glued over the top of both to make it extra secure. For the cyclone it works great and is an instant cut-off, but just remember to let go of the throttle before you let go of the ebrake!
I also changed out my front v-brake for a BB7 disc, stopping quickly over 30mph was too much even for koolstop salmons!
&2/ the energy dump cant really be absorbed effectively as charge anyway. If the bike had a little capacitor to absorb the dumps, maybe.
seems to me if you use the brakes a lot, you are doing something wrong.
I have ganarate a new one wheel bycycle ….it is electric unicycles …my query is what types brake I use pls tell some guide….???and that types cycle balancing is available????
I was road testing an ebike and attempted to slow down on a very slight incline. I only remember hitting the pavement very hard. Now I have a knot on my head, a black eye, and scrapes and bruises. What did I do wrong?
