This article presents an argument for veganism, using a formal-axiomatic approach: a list of twenty axioms (basic definitions, normative assumptions and empirical facts) are explicitly stated. These axioms are all necessary conditions to derive the conclusion that veganism is a moral duty. The presented argument is a minimalist or core argument for veganism, because it is as parsimonious as possible, using the weakest conditions, the narrowest definitions, the most reliable empirical facts and the minimal assumptions necessary to reach the conclusion. If someone does not accept the conclusion, logical consistency requires that s/he should be able to point at axiom(s) on which s/he disagrees. The argument exposes hidden assumptions and provides a framework for an overview of the philosophical literature on animal rights and vegetarianism / veganism.

Understanding White Supremacy: Challenging White Privilege and Working for Social Justice
(A speech given at the White Privilege Conference in Memphis, TN in April, 2009)
HOW DOES WHITE SUPREMACY LOOK in 2009? What are the challenges and what are the opportunities we face in a time when some people are saying that if a black man can be elected president we have become a postracial society? How do we encourage white people to take responsibility for challenging specific forms of white privilege built around issues of land, labor, education, housing, and self-identity? Let's move beyond generalities about racism and white privilege and move into responsibility for addressing concrete issues of racial justice.
I began by asking people in the audience to pair up with another person and to talk about one impact the civil rights movement had on their lives. Then I asked people to pair up with someone else and talk about a young person who inspires them in some way.
Our struggle for social justice is built on the contributions of those who have gone before us and is inspired by our vision of the world we want to leave to our children and our children's children.
I want to acknowledge the creative spirits in the world that nurture and sustain us and that connect us to each other and to the plant and animal life around us. I want to acknowledge the earth that also nurtures and sustains us. I want to acknowledge the Native Peoples whose land we are on. I want to acknowledge my own Jewish foreparents and how much they have taught me about survival and social justice. I want to acknowledge the vast numbers of people around the world whose labor makes it possible for us to meet together and have this conversation. The people who make our clothes, computers, grow our food, and clean our rooms. Finally, I want to acknowledge all the people who helped make the conference possible, staff and volunteers.
The inspiration for my work grows out of the labor movement in the 1930s, the civil rights movement in the 1960s, and the women's movement in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. My work specifically grew out of the women's movement, particularly the parts of that movement that dealt with male violence—the battered women's movement, the sexual assault prevention movement, and the child assault prevention movement.
We need to look at the social, political, and economic context we are in, particularly the three major issues confronting our times: war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and our involvement in other conflicts throughout the world; the financial crisis and the tremendous inequalities of wealth and power in the United States; and global warming. We are living in a declining empire and our leaders are trying to manage and remain in control during the descent. I also referenced the history of Memphis and the garbage worker's strike that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was here to support when he was murdered.
There are two questions that guide me in my work:
What do you stand for?
Who do you stand with?
We often ask ourselves and others the first question and it is an important question. Equally important, but less often asked, is the second question. When people of color are angry about racism, my first response is to say that I'm not racist and I treat everyone equally. But their anger is not directed at me. They want to know if I stand with them in the struggle for racial justice. When women express their anger about male violence to me and other men I also want to throw up my hands in protest and tell them that I don't hit my partner. But they want to know if I stand with them against male violence.
The questions are: Who do I stand with? What am I doing about … ? How do I show up in struggles for social justice? Am I acting as an ally in these struggles?
It is important to separate three different things when talking about racism and other issues:
The first level is prejudice—the distortions and lies we've all been fed by our textbooks and the media. Prejudice afflicts everyone, and we all have a responsibility to address our own. Prejudice and stereotyping are not racism. Given the misinformation, stereotypes, and lies in our textbooks, media, and everyday culture, we all have prejudices and false beliefs about other groups of people. We each have a responsibility to unlearn the misinformation we have accumulated.
The second level is power. If a person has prejudice and possesses the power to commit a socially sanctioned act of discrimination, harassment, exploitation, marginalization, disrespect, or violence against a group of people labeled as racially inferior, then that person is perpetrating an act of interpersonal racism. Looking to the larger, institutional level, interpersonal racism is caused by, and further reinforces, institutional and cultural racism regardless of the intentions of individual white people.
For example: I can be a white teacher in a school and treat all my students, white and students of color with respect and care, helping each one to master the class material and move on to the next grade level. However, if I am teaching in a school that tracks students of color into lower-achievement classes than white students, or disciplines students of color more harshly than white students, or doesn't hire and support faculty of color, or uses a curriculum that doesn't include the contributions of people of color to our society, then regardless of my personal practice as a teacher, I am teaching in an institution that enforces racism.
The third level is often less visible but is the most essential—the institutional level that operates regardless of my personal intentions, behavior, or knowledge.
Training in racism and other systems of oppression starts early. As documented by Debra van Ausdale in her book The First R, three-, four-, and five-year-olds are already learning about the powerful significance of differences among them, whether or not the adults around them notice that this is happening. White children are already producing identities of superiority and control, and children of color are already having to fend off attacks to their identity from white children.
Systems of oppression confer power and benefits to those in control and make others vulnerable to exploitation, violence, and marginalization. But not all in the more powerful group benefit equally. We need to look at the economic system to see who really benefits from racism. Our current political/economic structure looks like the pyramid below.
[pyramid image]
In the United States 1 percent of the population controls about 43 percent of the net financial wealth,3 and the next 19 percent of the population controls another 50 percent. That leaves 80 percent of the population struggling to gain a share of just under 7 percent of what's left.3 The result is that large numbers of people in the United States spend most of their time trying to get enough money to feed, house, clothe, and otherwise support themselves and their families, and many end up without adequate housing, food, health care, work, or educational opportunities.
We refer to the top 1 percent as the ruling class because members of this class hold positions of power as corporate executives, politicians, policy makers, and funders for political campaigns, policy research, public policy debates, and media campaigns. They "rule" because they are positioned to make decisions that govern the public world. This is not to say that they collectively act as kings or monarchs or dictators; most or all of the ruling class members would deny that they "rule" at all. Often enough their actions contradict and conflict with each other, rather than representing a monolithic governing front. Nevertheless, it is the economic structure—the culture of power—in American (and increasingly global) life that places them in the role of decision makers and reproduces that role, generation to generation, even when not individually pursued.
The ruling class maintains the power and money to influence, and often to determine, the decisions that affect our lives, including where jobs will be located and what kinds of jobs they will be; where environmental toxins are dumped; how much money is allocated to build schools or prisons and where they will be built; and which health care, reproductive rights, civil rights, and educational issues will be discussed and who defines the terms of these discussions. In other words, when we look at positions of power in the United States, we will almost always see members or representatives of the ruling class.
The next 19 percent of the economic pyramid, the professional and managerial class, are people who work for the ruling class. Members of this class may not gain the same level of power and financial rewards as people at the very top, but their work provides the research, managerial skills, expertise, technological development, and other resources that the ruling class needs to maintain and justify its monopolization of political and economic power. This class also carries out the direct management of the largest public, private, and nonprofit enterprises in the country.
But it is the majority of the population, the bottom 80 percent that produces the economic wealth benefiting those at the top. Laboring in factories, fields, classrooms, homes, sweatshops, prisons, hospitals, restaurants, and small businesses, the individuals comprising this enormous class keep our society functioning and productive. Meanwhile, entire communities remain entrapped in endless cycles of competition, scarcity, violence, and insecurity from which those at the top are largely protected.
Certainly the gradations within the bottom 80 percent (middle class, working class, and the dependent and working poor) produce additional security and benefits for some of its members, specifically those in the middle class, those who are white, or male, or citizens, or not incarcerated, or straight, or able-bodied, and keep many of us blaming and attacking those like—or even worse off than—us, rather than looking to the economic system and the concentration of wealth at the top of the pyramid as the source of our problems. The role of many of our institutions is to keep our attention away from those in power and to manage and control our efforts to survive in the bottom of the pyramid. These functions are necessary to maintain the concentration of wealth and power because people have always resisted economic and political inequality and exploitation.
People on the bottom rungs of the pyramid are constantly organizing to gain more power and access to resources. As we have noted about target group activism in general, most of the progressive social change we have witnessed in U.S. history resulted from the work of disenfranchised groups of people who have fought for access to education, jobs, health care, civil rights, reproductive rights, safety, housing, and a safe, clean environment. In our recent history, we can point to the union, civil rights, women's, lesbian and gay, disability rights, and immigrants' rights movements, as well as thousands of local struggles for progressive social change.
I think that it is safe to say that all white people benefit some from racism, all men benefit some from sexism, but only those at the top of the pyramid truly gain from this system and enjoy privileges that most of us can only imagine.
Christianity has also played a key role in developing and justifying systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, colonialism, and genocide. European colonialism was given divine sanction through the edicts or bulls of popes at the beginning of the colonial period. For example, in 1455, the Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex, allowed Christian rulers "free and ample faculty"
to invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed, and the kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, dominions, possessions, and all movable and immovable goods whatsoever held and possessed by them and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery, and to apply and appropriate to [themselves] and [their] successors the kingdoms, dukedoms, counties, principalities, dominions, possessions, and goods, and to convert them to [their] … use and profi t.
This was divine sanction for the colonization of the entire world, the reduction of heathens and infidels to slavery, and the justification of violence and genocide.
Racism also had its beginning in Christianity as the distinction between Christians and non-Christians took on a biological difference during the Inquisitions, when it was decided that Jews and Muslims who converted were false converts because they did not have clean blood (limpieza de sangre) because their parents and grandparents were not Christian. This was the beginning of modern or biological racism.
The discussion of racism can become very abstract very quickly, so I want to talk about challenging specific forms of white privilege built around issues of land, labor, reparations, education, housing, and war.
I want to ask you some questions and help us think about the implications to the answers to those questions.
For white people (people of color can choose whether or not to participate) :
If you live on land that formerly belonged to Native Americans please stand up in silence. (If you cannot stand up, please raise your hand in silence to indicate your participation.) Thank you.
Whose land do you live on? What are the current struggles? Native Americans are struggling for land, sovereignty, protection of culture and sacred sites, environmental cleanup, protection, and sustainability. What do you know about, and how are you participating in, these struggles? If you are concerned about environmental justice, you should be acting from an awareness of these interconnections.
What do you stand for? Who do you stand with?
Please stand if the clothes you wear, the electronic devices you use, and most of the food you eat are produced by low-income people of color, primarily women, in this country and in other countries? Thank you.
Please stand if your ancestors were immigrants who took jobs in railroads, streetcars, construction, shipbuilding, wagon and coach driving, house painting, tailoring, longshore work, bricklaying, table waiting, working in the mills, furriering, dressmaking, or any other trade or occupation where people of color were driven out or excluded. Thank you.
In the current housing crisis we are witnessing the largest transfer of wealth from black communities to white hands in U.S. history, over $200 billion so far.4 Job, housing, benefits, and education losses are disproportionately affecting communities of color. Are you working for large-scale economic reform, the end of multinational corporate sovereignty and impunity? Are you working for safe and sustainable living-wage jobs? Are you involved in supporting workers' struggles in your city, on your campus, in your neighborhood? Martin Luther King Jr. was organizing garbage workers here in Memphis when he was murdered because he knew the relationship between economics and race. What are you doing to support working-class struggles for racial and economic justice?
Please stand if you got to this conference using any form of transportation, public or private that relied on oil from the Middle East for fuel. Thank you.
Please stand if, this morning or any morning this week you have had coffee, tea, cocoa, bananas, or any other product grown in a country in which the United States has intervened militarily or with which it has otherwise economically or politically interfered in any way. Thank you.
We are completely dependent on U.S. imperialism and war to sustain our daily lives. Our sense of entitlement to the natural resources on other people's lands and our self-righteousness in killing them because they are in the way of our use of their natural resources is completely racist.
Do you know how many Iraqis have died in the current occupation? Do you use a racial lens when you critique our wars and interventions? Are you challenging not just this particular war, but the entire imperial mentality that justifies U.S. aggression based on others' lack of democracy, free markets, or human rights, or on our humanitarian intentions, or on perceived threats of communism, socialism, or terrorism? Antiwar work should be, but often isn't, antiracist work. How can you make it so?
Please stand if you went to or are going to a racially segregated school or a school in which white students were/are tracked into higher classes than students of color, students of color were or are disciplined more harshly than white students, or in which the curriculum held or holds up white people as the heroes and builders of the United States and there was or is little mention of the contributions of people of color. Thank you.
Our school system has been set up, among other reasons, to perpetuate white supremacy and white privilege. So-called disparate outcomes are no accident. Students of color and low-income students in general do not drop out—they are pushed out. It is well documented that from preschool and early elementary school students of color, particularly African American, Latino, low-income Asian American, and Native American students receive clear messages that they are not wanted nor intended to succeed in our school system.
Marked Boys by Ann Ferguson documents how, in elementary school African American boys are told directly and in more subtle ways that they are not wanted and they are not expected to succeed in school.
Are you working with others in your local community for educational equity? Are you supporting students and teachers who are organizing to address issues of equity? If you are a student or teacher, are you assessing racism in your institution and bringing those issues to public awareness?
White privilege is based on concrete and specific forms of material benefit that every white person has access to, though in differing amounts. The point of understanding white benefits is to challenge white power. Our benefits lead us to understand how and in what ways to be engaged in social justice work.
Being an ally—it is not an identity, it is a practice. It is the way we live in the world on a daily basis, responding to the injustice around us in which we are implicated.
I don't want to underestimate how difficult it is to be an ally. As a white person the basic educational messages I received about people of color were that they were not smart, they were lazy, and besides, white people had done everything significant in history and therefore we should be in charge. If I walk into a situation and claim to be an ally, but I am carrying all of this misinformation, then I am going to be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
I also can't expect to be trusted just because I declare that I am an ally. People of color have had lots of experience with white people. Some of those experiences might have been good, some were probably bad, and some may have been horrible. They can't trust me just because I say I'm an ally. Trust grows over time as we work together and I establish credibility through my actions—and even then trust is not the issue—effective strategic partnership is.
Some guidelines for white allies to remember:
• Learn to see through a racial lens.
• Work with others.
• Be strategic.
• Look to leadership from communities of color.
• Be accountable.
• Get support.
Accountability to grass-roots, community-based organizations led by people of color is essential because of the insight and experience they bring to the struggle and because of the vulnerability they face when their allies mess up.
Some of the organizations I have been a part of in which accountability has been a critical issue have been the Oakland Men's Project and its relationships with women-led organizations; Angry White Guys, in relationship to people-of-color-led organizations; and Progressive Jewish Alliance, in relationship to worker-led movements.
The goal should always be systematic group and collective accountability to grassroots leadership of communities of color and other communities on the frontlines of struggle for social, political, and economic justice.
Some people think that being progressive is knowing about everything that is bad in the world. I think it is in knowing what is positive and fulfilling vision, providing models, and creating new alternatives. I look to the rest of the world for inspiration in this because some of the most exciting progressive developments are not happening here, in the center of a declining empire, but in other countries. I look to:
Venezuela—land reform and redistribution of wealth, neighborhood committees, recognition of women's unpaid labor, end of spanking.
Bolivia—land reform and redistribution of wealth to indigenous communities, the natural rights of the environment.
Cuba, Chiapas, and the Sandinistas, Oaxaca, villages in southern India, shop floors in South Korea, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Are you guided by fear or vision, desperation or possibility?
These are long-term struggles that we are engaged in. I work with an organization in the San Francisco Bay area called Generation Five. Its goal is to end child sexual assault within the next five generations—125 years. That is visionary, but it is also very grounded because it may very well take that long. Their work is to do what needs to be done to build a foundation that the next generation can build on.
Do you have a long-term vision? Does your current work move us towards that vision? If you keep doing what you are doing for the next 10, 15, 25 years, what difference will it make? What foundation are you building? How will your work provide a base for the next generation?
In closing, I want to read a poem by Jewish feminist poet Marge Piercy because it is inspiring and gets at the root of working for social justice. The poem is titled "The Long Road."
What can they do to you?
Whatever they want.
They can set you up, they can bust you.
They can break your fingers.
They can burn your brain with electricity,
Blur you with drugs til you can't walk, can't remember
They can take your child, wall up your lover.
They can do anything you can't stop them from doing.
How can you stop them?
Alone you can fight, you can refuse,
You can take what revenge you can,
But they will roll over you.
But two people fighting back to back
Can cut through a mob,
A snake-dancing file can break a cordon,
And an army can meet an army.
Two people can keep each other sane,
Can give support, conviction, love, massage, hope, sex.
Three people are a delegation, a committee, a wedge.
With four you can play bridge and start an organization.
With six you can rent a whole house,
Eat pie for dinner with no seconds,
Hold a fundraising party.
A dozen can make a demonstration.
(all join in) A hundred fill a hall.
A thousand have solidarity and your own newsletter;
Ten thousand, power and your own paper;
A hundred thousand, your own media;
Ten million, your own country.
It goes on one at a time,
It starts when you care to act,
It starts when you do it again after they said no.
It starts when you say WE And know who you mean,
And each day you mean one more.
There is no blueprint, no magic dust, no directions. We are guided by our collective vision. In the words of Spanish poet Antonio Machado:
"Al andar se hace el camino."
We make the road by walking.
I think that captures both the challenge and the joy of our journey together.
I want to end by restating the questions I began this talk with:

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is indubitably the perfect role model for all Muslims. He faced countless hardships, yet he endured everything with such grace. When others mocked and ridiculed him, he remained composed. He was kind to everyone despite everything else. We face hardships everyday, but not nearly as much as our Prophet (pbuh). If we ever feel like others are treating us poorly, we should remember how our Prophet (pbuh) persevered through everything with peace and kindness and try to emulate that in our own lives.


What is the best way to deliver training?
There are three primary ways to deliver training: face to face (classroom training), facilitator-led online (live webinars, etc) and online without the facilitator (training videos, etc.). But which is the best?
be overestimated. The facilitator can more easily read the room and the trainees feel better able to speak up. With in-person training, it's possible to follow the interests of the salespeople being trained, spot weak spots and drill down into the areas that really need improving.
There's also the benefit of getting a group of salespeople together. It's an opportunity for a large team to bond, and to learn from each other. During the course of a day's training, which will likely include some role-play sessions, alliances may be formed that continue to benefit the team after the training is over.
Classroom training is by far the most expensive training option. Apart from the cost of the training program itself, there's also the venue and travel costs to consider. It also requires salespeople to take one or two days out of their hectic schedule, potentially away from their families and certainly away from their desks.
As with all types of training, it's important to ensure you have decided on how you're going to measure ROI so that you know whether or not the expense has paid off.
The other thing to bear in mind is that the success of the course still largely depends on how good the facilitator is. You can as easily fail to pay attention in person as you can online if the facilitator is not engaging.
broken up into sessions of a more manageable length, making it easier to fit into a salesperson's busy schedule.
Without the venue and travel costs, this is a more budget-friendly option while still giving the facilitator the option to tailor the course to the needs of the trainees.
The major downside of this mode of delivery is that the facilitator has to compete with your environment. If you're watching a webinar online, it's very easy to be distracted by other things on your computer or even on your desk. Email notifications, phone calls, even social media can all divert the trainee's attention away from the speaker, and there's no real way for the facilitator to know that they have lost people, especially if there are a lot of trainees tuning in.
There are two main ways to counteract this. From the facilitator end, they need to know who's logged in and call on them from time to time to answer questions. (Of course, they also need to create an engaging webinar, but that's a given!
On the other side, it's a good idea to provide your trainees with either a different space to work in – perhaps a meeting room, where distractions are minimal – or encourage them to close everything else down while they listen to the webinar. Follow-up quizzes also help to ensure people are paying attention.
Without the live aspect, online training can be carried out whenever it's convenient for the individual. This makes it the simplest and generally also the least expensive option. Good providers will still ensure the training is tailored to your needs, though obviously without any live 'chat' it's much harder to answer questions or follow the trainees' curiosity.
I wonder how many people reading this have signed up for some kind of online training and failed to see it through to completion. I know I have. All the good intentions were there, but because it was down to me to fit it into my schedule, I never found the time. This is the main drawback of this mode of delivery, though as I said above the fact that this kind of training usually lacks the personal touch is also a big negative. There are ways to counteract these problems, of course. Make it mandatory. Set a deadline. Run quizzes. And in terms of answering questions and tailoring to your needs, you can iron this out from the outset by seeking a training provider that offers this service as a follow- up or in between sessions.
Multiple modes of delivery for the win!
Probably the best training programs are those that offer a combination of training options. Maybe you kick off with some classroom training that gets everyone excited and aligned in their vision. Perhaps the follow-up sessions afterwards are conducted online, with your facilitator checking back in to see how you're doing. They might also send you regular videos with reminders of things you learned in the classroom that you need to put into practice.
The future of sales training?
There's no doubt that e-learning is popular in theory, but I don't think hour-long webinars are ever going to be much competition for in-person training. What we probably will see more of, though, is snippets of training – videos of anything from about 30 seconds to a few minutes – that give salespeople little tips and tools to implement immediately. In the not too distant future, those shorts will be automatically generated when you need them – little learning reinforcements for every stage of the selling process. AI is going to be an interesting addition to the training arena!
While you're waiting for that to be widely available, why not create your own in-house videos with reminders of your training methodology and load them up to your Sale Enablement Platform? Store them together with the relevant content and give your salespeople additional tools to improve their skill set.

Local weed retail milestone

Hobo, now known as Dutch Love, is setting up a store in Lake Country. However, the Vancouver-based company has yet to get municipal or provincial approval.
Brick and mortar cannabis retail has come a long way in the Okanagan over two years, with licensed stores in all regions.
There are 50 legal stores now open or "coming soon" to the Valley — from Osoyoos to Enderby.
Vernon has by far the most stores, with 15. In fact, it has the second most in B.C. — second only to the Greater Vancouver area, which has 32 in total.
There are about 300 legal stores in the province.
Here's a look at four Okanagan communities:
The province has been relatively slow to approve licences in Kelowna — the biggest city in the Okanagan.
There are many still waiting on that step. Among the retailers that are open is Cheeba Cheebas, run by the same owners as well-established local head shop Mary Jane's Headquarters.
The large number of stores in Vernon has caused some speculation as to just how many businesses can survive and/or thrive in one market — especially considering the large number of unlicensed shops along the Green Mile.
Spiritleaf Vernon was the first store to open in the Valley, and the national retail chain is the only one to have stores open in the Okanagan's four biggest cities.
In Lake Country, one of the first stores approved in the Valley rebranded this year from Starbuds to Lake Country Cannabis. A second store seems to be pressuring to open: Dutch Love (formerly Hobo) is in the process of building a store on Main Street in Lake Country.
The company's website says it's opening August, yet it doesn't appear to have city or provincial approval.
Oliver, self-declared as Canada's Wine Capital, has enthusiastically taken to cannabis. The small community has four private stores, with a government store on the way.
It's going to be a beautiful region for tourists to taste some of the best reds and try some of the best buds.
(For a further breakdown of the local number of cannabis stores and a map of where they are, visit okanaganz.com.)
Meanwhile, the global market is undergoing a major cannabis growth spurt, and the pandemic has not slowed it down.
Cannabis market analyst BDSA says global cannabis sales for 2020 will reach $19.7 billion — an increase of 38% over 2019 sales of $14.8 billion.
The market analyst predicts global cannabis sales will reach $47.2 billion by 2025. Top international contributors to growth include Mexico, Germany and the U.K.
As for the long-term Canadian cannabis forecast, BDSA predicts the Canadian market will grow to $6.1 billion by 2025.
"While the 2020 forecast is down less than one per cent from the forecast released earlier this year, cannabis sales year to date have swung wildly in different states as a result of COVID-19," said Roy Bingham, co-founder and executive chairman of BDSA.

Neighbourhood Watch: A Safe Harbour for Whimsy in Red Hook, Brooklyn
From chocolate to cocktails to an unexpected cluster of acclaimed Thai restaurants, New Yorkers know Red Hook has more to offer than just that big Ikea
There's nothing like the eclectic charm and raw urban beauty of Red Hook. More than a mile away from the closest train stop and cut off from the rest of Brooklyn by the sketchy Gowanus Canal, this waterfront neighbourhood is off the beaten track for most city slickers. Yet this Brooklyn destination not only has the small town warmth of a seaside village, butalso an idiosyncratic, creative atmosphere – an increasingly rare experience in today's New York.
Red Hook's close-knit and resilient community made a remarkable comeback from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. It also continues to successfully resist gentrification, despite Ikea and Fairway superstores, a season on MTV's Real World, and now impending plans for the Red Hook Innovation District's 1.2-million-square-foot commercial development.
With sweeping views of New York Harbor and a moody mix of decaying piers, warehouses, railroad tracks, graffiti, and cobblestone streets (from its historic days as one of the busiest ports in the United States), Red Hook is free of the typical window dressing and noisy hype of New York. Home to a variety of creatives and entrepreneurs, it's one of New York's most gritty-glam, grassroots artisanal, and neighbourly neighbourhoods – a place where mom and pop can still open shop.
Craft chocolate makers, distilleries and wineries
The family-run chocolate maker and distillery Cacao Prieto has been growing organic cacao and sugarcane for more than 100 years in the Dominican Republic. In addition to producing bean-to-bar chocolate, it distills small-batch rum and whisky.
Red Hook Winery, meanwhile, is part of a growing urban winemaking movement in New York. Brooklyn native Mark Snyder and his partners craft reds, whites and rosés – creating dozens of distinct labels each year – out of grapes sourced from 15 different New York State vineyards. The scenic waterfront warehouse offers bold and unique tastings, from $8 for a trio of harvest samplers to $35 for eight-wine flights.
Hangar-size art galleries
Red Hook's industrial landscape has been transforming into a vibrant artistic community. At its heart is Pioneer Works, a 25,000-square-foot ironworks building from the Civil War era. Artist Dustin Yellin and his team converted the massive waterfront space into an arts and culture hub for exhibitions, events, performances, artist residencies and educational programs. Every second Sunday of the month, they throw a block party with live music, open studios and artist performances.
Vintage shopping
At Foxy and Winston, you'll be charmed by the custom letterpress stationery and silkscreen textiles which owner, a British-born illustrator named Jane Buck, creates in her adjoining studio.
For vintage jewellery finds, Erie Basin specializes in Art Deco and custom designs with a penchant for antique gemstones. Wooden Sleepers curates vintage menswear and antique swag like a high-end designer shop.
From nautical dive bars to fancy cocktails
Passed down for generations in the Balzano family, Sunny's is Brooklyn's oldest waterfront bar; the homey dive has been a favourite drinking hole of the locals since 1890. The look is "wharfside tavern," but when it comes to music, expect bluegrass and country jam sessions as opposed to salty sea shanties. Another hole-in-the-wall with local cred is Red Hook Bait & Tackle, housed in what used to be a bait shop. Try to sip your draft beer or spicy bloody mary while avoiding eye contact with the taxidermy.
If you're more in the mood for affordable and off-the-charts artisanal cocktails, head to Botanica. Modelled after a bourgeois Venetian hotel, the dreamy cocktail bar features infusions with locally distilled spirits. Fort Defiance (named after a Revolutionary War fort) makes expertly executed vintage and vintage-style cocktails and is also known for its contemporary pub fare and brunch.
Old and new school eats
At the intimate and charming Good Fork, Ben Schneider and Sohui Kim prepare delicious Korean-inspired, farm-to-table dishes. They use produce from the Red Hook community farm and also serve local specialties from Red Hook Winery, Cacao Prieto, and Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies, a local dessert purveyor with a cult following.
Courtesy Good Fork
For a taste of the more traditional, Red Hook Lobster Pound makes classic lobster rolls with freshly caught specimens from Maine. Delfonte's Italian sandwich shop had its roots as a longshoreman hangout, but is frequented today by nearly everybody who lives and works in the neighbourhood. Take in the local history with an old-school comfort sandwich (such as the potato-and-egg), peering over nostalgic wall photos and clippings.
Top Thai and celebrity chefs
Oddly enough, Red Rook is becoming home to a cluster of some of New York's most celebrated Northern Thai kitchens, all located a few blocks apart from each other. James Beard award-winning and Michelin-starred chef Andy Ricker prepares bold and authentic Thai dishes at his tiny, no-frills Pok Pok NY. The Portland chef set his roots down in Red Hook because he was looking for an up-and-coming, but still affordable, New York neighbourhood. Following his lead is Chew co-host and former Top Chef contestant Carla Hall. With the help of Kickstarter, she's set to open Carla Hall's Southern Kitchen this year, in a space formerly owned by Ricker.
Praised for its serious Thai cooking, Kao Soy has received rave reviews from The New York Times and New York Magazine. More recently, co-chef Kanlaya Supachana left the restaurant to start her own neighbourhood spot, Chiang Mai. In the homey pop-up,she serves signature Northern Thai specialties, such as her beloved banana blossom fritters.
Pro tip: The most scenic way to reach Red Hook from Manhattan is a 25-minute New York Water Taxi across the East River. A shuttle service runs between Pier 11/Wall Street in Lower Manhattan and Red Hook's Ikea store. It costs $5 each way on weekdays and it's free on weekends. Buses also run between Red Hook and Downtown Brooklyn. Take the B57 or B61, connecting from the A, C, F, N, R, 2, 3, 4 or 5 trains in Downtown Brooklyn.

20Th Anniversary Of The Bassett Lowke Society
20th Anniversary of the Bassett-Lowke Society
Paul Lumsdon celebrates 20 years of the Bassett-Lowke Society ...
The society's story begins in 1991 when O gauge model rail enthusiast Bob Burgess submitted a letter to the Gauge O Guild Gazette asking if there was interest in forming a Bassett-Lowke group. After a positive response, Bob set about organising an inaugural meeting towards the end of 1991. Unfortunately it had to be postponed after it proved impossible to set a date at short notice.
In the meantime, Bob produced a one-off newsletter in advance of an organised meeting. Unsure of what to call the publication, he suggested The Oil-Can (after the original Basset-Lowke in-house journal) or Lowko News. The publication contained Bob's editorial alongside copies of some original Bassett-Lowke photos from Vic Reader's collection, details of spares, services, sales, wants and auction reports – all elements quickly embraced by the new society.
As I suspect with many new groups, the first meeting finally took place on 25th April 1992 in a public house, the Red Lion in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The first order of business for the eager 12 attendees was to name the group and thus the Bassett-Lowke Society was born.
It was established the organisation would be open to all, would keep bureaucracy to a minimum and that no individual would use it for personal gain. More importantly the principles and aims established on that day, which helped form such strong foundations, were as follows:
• To foster an interest in all Bassett-Lowke products
• To promote an interest in the history of the company including setting up a library of information, catalogues, articles and other literature for members
• To establish a register of traders, restorers and manufacturers and maintain a trade directory
• To produce a newsletter for: sales and wants, advertising meetings and exhibitions, auction reports and price information, sharing knowledge and know-how plus general correspondence
• To arrange regular meetings
After the initial formation of the group, two key milestones quickly followed. It was decided the one-off newsletter should become a regular feature and, as a result, the first edition of Lowko News was printed in 1992 and continues to be produced today. Then in 1993 a small committee was formed to make quick decisions on behalf of the members, while Bob Burgess became the secretary and treasurer – a position that he continues to hold.
It became an immediate success and although the society has more than 500 current members, it is still run in the same way agreed by the founding members at that fateful meeting. In fact, as a constant reminder, the aims and principles are reiterated on the first page of each edition of the Spares Directory, which is sent to new members as part of their joining pack.

Dominic nixes sand
It turns out Dominic really doesn't like the feel of sand. There were several very humorous attempts to get him to put his feet in the sand. Each time he'd lift them so high that his bottom would touch before any part of his legs.
Playing in the sand
One of the kids' favorite pastimes was playing on the beach. Our rental faced the ocean and this year's beach was less rocky than last year's.
Here's Eliana playing with first base during a baseball game.
And here's a photo of Sarah and Eliana proudly displaying their sand castle.
The kids at the beach
Here's a photo of all the kiddies we had under one roof at the beach. This photo was taken, like the ones in the previous post, on Father's Day at the San Juan Capistrano Mission.
Included in the photo are the Coglianese five, one of their cousins, Kate, and the Codella two. There was also a baby, Jane, who came with her mom, Megan, for a couple of days. But they weren't with us on Father's Day.
Perhaps now you can better imagine the mayhem that occurred each day, especially around mealtimes.
But this year was a good year: there was no sickness and no injuries except a couple little slivers.
Thank goodness we had nana and Grandpa big dog (Kim and Diane Grover; Amber's mom and step-dad) because Nana was a great sliver remover.
Our trip to the beach
Our family enjoyed a relaxing beach vacation at Capistrano Beach last week. I'll post a few photos and stories over the next few days to give a brief overview of how things went.
These photos were taken early last week. Dominic has developed quite a little personality lately. He's mischievous and loves to look for a reaction before he does something he knows he shouldn't.
Here Eliana was posing at the San Juan Capistrano Catholic Mission. We took quite a few photos of the beautiful gardens as we enjoyed a leisurely tour of the grounds last Sunday.
I had a great Father's Day last week as I was surrounded by my great family and enjoyed the first full day at the beach. Vickey surprised me with an iPod for my Father's Day gift. I had fun exploring its functions and listening to music on my rollerblade trips around Dana Point and Capistrano Beach last week.
Dominic and I are squinting in this family photo because of the sunlight in our eyes.
Photo sampler
Here are a few photos from the past couple of weeks.
Tonight in her prayers Eliana prayed: "And we love Angie, and help her when her baby comes out, and help her to find a name for him." Isn't that sweet?
So what is the name, Ang & Vin? Just a few weeks and counting.
Dominic has cut another tooth and now sports seven teeth with three weeks to go before he turns one. And he's a quick little cuss. We had to install the gate on the stairs to prevent him from scaling them at every opportunity. Hopefully now we'll avoid any accidents on the stairs and the tile landing on the main floor.
The smarshmallow cup
Vickey's friend Jana suggested a couple months ago that we institute a reward system to praise Eliana for good things instead of giving her punitive attention for bad things.
At least since early last month we have given Eliana a marshmallow — she calls them 'smarshmallows' — for her good deeds.
Typically she'll do something good, like actually go to the bathroom without prodding from her parents, then afterwards say, "That deserves a smarshmallow!" Sometimes we agree, and she gets one.
You can see by the photo that her cup doesn't exactly runneth over.
She received one reward just before our cruise for filling her cup — a recorder. That was her favorite toy for 10 or 15 minutes. Speaking of toys, it seems to me that if we packed up half of her hundreds of toys and then brought them out again next year she'd be thrilled to death to have all the 'new' toys to play with. I think I'll like it when the toys are traded in for more mature items.
The marshmallow cup is a good reward system. It's just difficult to pull 5 marshmallows out every morning because Ellie wakes us up each night. Then she has to work all day to earn the marshmallows back. Thus, her cup since the first time it was filled has remained relatively steady at about 1/3 full.
Maybe one of these years she'll opt for 8 hours of sleep like I so enjoy. Something to look forward to for all of us, I suppose.
How's the weather?
When I reviewed the weather report on my Google home page today I couldn't help but smile.
Why, you ask?
Because I live in Las Vegas.
You see, my family members live in these other cities and when you look at the weather forecast, there's a clear, always sunny winner … Las Vegas!
I guess that's why so many people move here each month. And I guess that's why it's becoming so expensive to live here.
But for those of you northeasterners, and mountain west dwellers, my hat's off to you for being hearty enough to endure cold temperatures and frequent moisture.
But before you think I'm gloating too much, consider how I felt after running my three mile loop with Tank last week in 110 degree weather. I think it took me 15 minutes to feel normal again once I got home. I was close to throwing up.
Still, you gotta love the clear skies in Las Vegas!

Eliana's dance recital
Last night Vickey and Eliana had a photo shoot before we left for Ellie's annual dance recital at the Henderson Pavilion. We took some photos at the dance concert, but they all turned out very dark.
Also, never fear grandmas and grandpas, we video taped Eliana's two performance numbers.
We left for the concert around 7 p.m. and after stopping at Dairy Queen on the way home for a treat, got home at 10:30 p.m.
Yesterday's temperature was above 100 degrees, but I suspect it was closer to 85 or 90 last night (how refreshing, right?). It was warm enough to make you feel hot and sweaty in the outdoor pavilion but not hot enough to make the experience miserable.
This year's concert featured more modern music than last year's. Our friend, Lori Day, is Eliana's (and about 250 other's) dance instructor. She teaches through the Henderson Parks and Recreation Department and does a great job with all the students, two and three year-olds all the way up to silver-haired grandmas. She's also a member of our stake and was the choreographer for the Into the Light production we did in March. Lori's an outstanding lady.
Elder Nelson speaks in Washington, D.C. about legal marriage
From the LDS Newsroom
Elder Russell M. Nelson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — the second-highest governing body of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — joined other religious leaders today in Washington, D.C., to speak in support of a constitutional amendment protecting marriage.
At an Alliance for Marriage press conference at the U.S. Capitol building, he said:
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is pleased to be represented in this significant cause. While those of us here today represent a broad spectrum of religious diversity, we are firmly united in our declaration that marriage of a man and a woman is ordained of God. The sanctity of marriage and family constitutes the spiritual undergirding of lasting and successful societies.
"Together we share a duty to preserve marriage and family as established by God. The time has now come when a constitutional amendment is needed in this country to protect our divine inheritance. Such action does not reduce our regard for individuals who choose to live by other standards. But it confirms our conviction that marriage is the foundry for social order, the fountain of virtue and the foundation for eternal exaltation.
"In 1995, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a proclamation to the world on the family. From it I quote:
" 'We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.'
"Thus we unite with other religious leaders who also are committed to preserve and promote that same objective."
Read what CNN.com reports about the proposed constitutional amendment: Senate set to reject gay marriage ban.
And from the CNN article: Nevada's own senator, Harry Reid (a member of the LDS Church)...
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said that "the reason the Senate Republicans are pushing this marriage amendment is because they don't want to address the real issues of this country."
"This is an effort by the president and the majority in the House and the Senate to distort, to misdirect what the real issues are," he told reporters Tuesday.
Personally, I can't think of too many more important issues facing our country. I'm definitely disappointed in Senator Reid. At least I never voted for him.

Don't feed the dog
Dominic and Tank have an unwritten, unspoken but often utilized agreement. Whenever possible, whether he likes the food or not, Dominic feeds Tank food from the table.
It really doesn't matter how many times we tell him not to feed the dog, or how many times we tell the dog to lie down and not beg from the table. I think it's just a baby/dog thing. Eliana used to do it as well.
Dominic sure gets a mischievous smile when he's warned not to feed the dog. I think he enjoys stirring the pot. He certainly enjoys exploring and finding out how things work and teasing his sister. Even with four years between them I sometimes think he knows just which buttons to push. Can you imagine the fun and games in another 10-15 years?
Eliana, Dominic and I spent a fun night together while Vickey did a Pampered Chef show. We had dinner at home, returned some things at Sam's Club then spent more than we received from the return (doesn't it always happen that way), then came home to watch Nanny McPhee. I think that's Eliana's new favorite movie, or new brand favorite movie as she'd say (instead of brand new).
I just tidied up the house, cleaned the floors and have a few loads of laundry to fold. I also have a priesthood lesson to prepare for tomorrow, but that's pretty much done with the exception of a few visual aids I plan to organize.
Ellie and I took an hour out of our afternoon to go swimming at the Coglianese pool. It was sure a hot one today. And this morning was the elders quorum family breakfast in the park, followed by a move for one of the neighbors. While I helped move Vickey took the kiddies to Eliana's dance rehearsal for the big recital on Thursday.
Vickey and I were talking about a few things we wanted to accomplish around the house and were saddened by the lack of Saturday's available to do what we'd like. We just go from a handful of activities each day to the same thing the next.
Oh, and I managed to switch out 3 bad under-the-cabinet light fixtures so now all the kitchen cabinet lighting is working again. Another fine job by PJC2.
At any rate, it was a good Saturday. Lots to do and a good sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
Eliana's preschool graduation
A true sign of the times — even preschoolers have graduation ceremonies and parties.
I think the only partying going on when I 'graduated' from preschool was a sad acknowledgement that my parents would have to now put me in daycare.
Kids get everything these days.
Ellie received her preschool diploma tonight at her teacher's home. Ms. Tammy, as Eliana affectionately calls her, had a graduation party for the kids and families.
Tammy filmed interviews with each of the children and played the video tonight. She asked what they liked most about their year in preschool. Eliana was the last to be interviewed, her answer: "the snacks!" That got a big laugh.
Although Ellie meets the age requirement for kindergarten, we're still mulling over half-day afternoon kindergarten at Cox Elementary (it's just around the corner) or a year of preschool at the Challenger School, an LDS themed curriculum school.
A major reason we'd opt for Challenger would be that she'd most likely receive a better education and after this next school year could then enter first grade at Cox. We remain undecided however. So, sometime in the next few months we'll decide where to send Eliana for school next year.
In the meantime, we'll look forward to enjoying summer outings and our upcoming trip back to Capistrano Beach with the Coglianese family.

Common fastener types are available in different forms.
The most common type of bolts includes carriage bolts, hex head bolts, machine screws, shoulder bolts and socket cap screws among others.
Carriage bolts are designed with a countersunk head. The bolt has a square section underneath the head which prevents further tightening of the bolt once the nut is fixed in place.
Hex head bolts are designed with a hexagonal head and a threaded straight shaft. The most common examples of such bolts include hex cap screws, trim head hex cap screws and hex tap bolts.
Machine screws are designed with a flat head at the tip and a shaft entailing the head, which is threaded. These screws are fit for a wide range of applications and are therefore available in variable drive types and heads.
Shoulder bolts are essentially machine screws with a shoulder in the straight shaft between the head and the threaded part.
Socket cap screws are typically used with a socket wrench. They indicate a kind of fastener with ratio of 1.5 of head diameter to screw shank diameter.
Some of the most commonly used screws include hex lag screws, wood screws and sheet metal screws, among others.
Hex lag screws are commonly used with a wrench, for machinery required to wood floors and heavy duty practices.
Wood screws are made up of a smooth shank head entailed by coarse spiralling threads following the straight shaft into a tapered pointy end. They are commonly installed in drilled holes to slide through pieces of wood and join them, without causing the wood to split.
Sheet metal screws (SMS) have spiralling threads along a straight shaft with a tapered end. The tapered end enables SMS to perforate sheet metal without drilling a hole first. These SMS can also be used on plastic as well.
Using fasteners for applications concerning concrete is very different from using fasteners for general applications such as adjoining pieces of metal in place. Fastening to concrete requires the use of concrete anchors, whose installation and use is much more strenuous than other fasteners. This is due to the complexity required in order to fasten something to a solid base material such as concrete.
Concrete remains the most widely used and available base material in the world and therefore the use of concrete anchors is vital in order to hold structures from this base material in place. Some of the most common concrete anchors used include drop in anchors, sleeve anchors, and wedge anchors.
Drop in anchors have internal threads and their main use lies in the creation of handrails and lighting fixtures among several other fixtures.
Sleeve anchors are made of a threaded stud with a blunt cone head on the top and a nut and washer on the other side. These anchors are especially suited for hollow concrete applications.
Wedge anchors are used to attach and hold materials in place with solid concrete surfaces. It consists of a blunt head on one end with a threaded straight shaft entailing the head and a nut and washer on the other side.
Nuts are used in conjunction with bolts. The most common types of nuts include cap nuts, castle nuts, hex finish nuts, square nuts, T-nuts and structural heavy hex nuts, among others.
A permanent type of fastener commonly used is rivets. Unlike bolts and screws, rivets are non-removable. They fundamentally function to hold plates or sheet metal in place.
Rivets are used in applications such as civil structures made of steel, aircraft components, automobiles, clothing, ships, etc. Different rivets are used for different purposes, varying with their application. Therefore, there are various types of rivets but the two most commonly used ones are solid rivets and pop rivets.
Solid rivets are known to be one of the earliest rivets in use and are highly reliable. They are made of a cylindrical shank head followed by a straight shaft. These kind of rivets are best suited for civil structures, for example bridges.
Millions of fasteners are being used every day to construct the things we see around us. Different common fastener types aid in different applications and are made to facilitate the functionality of a given mechanism. Some of the most commonly and frequently used fasteners have been mentioned in this article but there are numerous more that help in various operations and make a considerable number of duties feasible every day.

Located on the southern side of Peel Island, Horseshoe Bay is a popular day destination for boaties. Being less than two hours sail from Manly, it offers an excellent beach with clear water. The anchorage is arguably the best anchorage when northerly winds are forecast. Lazaret on the northern side of Peel Island is a good alternative in southerly winds.
Heading out from the leads at Manly Habour, the most direct route to Horseshoe Bay is passing between Green and King Islands and then heading south east to Peel Island. Yachts can navigate via the western or eastern side of the island with the western side the most popular option.
The anchorage can be accessed from the southerly side of Peel Island. A sandy beach extends the full length of bay and as with any anchorage, birds of a feather stick together so anchoring near similar yachts is recommended. The tide retreats a long way from the beach to be careful not to anchor up too close on a falling tide. It is also important to be alert for southerly wind changes that can create a dangerous lee shore.
The clear water in shore is ideal for swimmers and the rocks on the eastern side of the bay offer excellent snorkelling opportunities. The white sandy beach is popular with day trippers and visitors. The anchorage can be very crowded during the weekends but during the week is a relatively quiet anchorage. Dugongs, turtles, and dolphins are frequent visitors of Horseshoe Bay and in recent times even whales have been spotted as they migrate the east coast during winter.
Peel Island is a National Park but was a leper colony from 1907 to 1959 . Historical buildings and remnants of the colony still remain and tours are available by contacting the local ranger in advance.
Horseshoe Bay is an ideal location for lunch on a day trip as well as being a safe and calm overnight stop in northerly winds. It's a favourite with Yachtshare owners and local boat owners.

「To generate awareness about our campaign against torture, Amnesty International Belgium French speaking section used an image of Iggy Pop without his authorization.
Even though we acted in good faith, we would like to apologise to Iggy Pop for having done so.
The overall goal of this campaign is to try to influence people's ideas on the use of torture. According to surveys, a shocking number of people believe that "torture may sometimes be useful" ; more than 36% of people even think that torture is justified in some cases. This is unacceptable, and we illustrate this reality with the message that a man who is tortured will say anything in order to escape this awfulness, using provocative images and statements to attract public attention. We would therefore also like to make it clear that the statement attributed to Iggy Pop that he believes Justin Bieber is the future of rock and roll does not represent Iggy Pop's personal opinion but was part of the creative process for this campaign and was intended to be ironic. The image has been removed.
For the launch of our latest campaign against torture, the image of His Holiness the Dalai Lama was used by our section (Belgium french speaking) and was widely shared on the internet. Although the Dalai Lama was not the target of the campaign, we understand that this image has caused particular concern in some quarters. We have therefore chosen to remove this picture from our digital material in order not to cause any furtherupset and ensure people's attention remains focused on the real aim of this campaign : to stop torture.

From the azure coastline of Vancouver to the quiet riding trails delving through the pleasant valleys and passes of the Rocky Mountains, this British Columbia and Alberta adventure will showcase a stunning variation of landscapes, climates and cultures. Travelling up the scenic Sea-to-Sky highway to Whistler marks the beginning of the journey inland to the high valley ranchlands of Ashcroft and a leisurely two days of horseback riding. Crossing the provincial border to Alberta, the natural wonders of Jasper and Banff National Parks are revealed. Taking the less travelled southern highways, experience the quiet majesty of Waterton Lakes National Park featuring high alpine rivers and lakes surrounded by lush carpets of wildflowers on mountain slopes. The road winds back through the passes and valleys of the Rocky Mountains and their characteristic communities before descending down to the sparkling lights of Vancouver.
Highlights Include
Ranch Stay
Arrive Vancouver International Airport, transfer to your downtown hotel. The rest of the day is yours to create your own urban adventure amid the stores, parks, restaurants, theatres and other attractions of downtown Vancouver.
Go on a city tour of Vancouver and visit attractions as Canada Place, the dynamic Robson Street, Chinatown and historic Gastown. Visit Stanley Park and the Capilano Suspension Bridge in the North Shore rainforest. Cross the 137m-long bridge over a spectacular canyon to the Treetops Adventure observation structure for even more incredible views of this old growth forest. On your return to downtown Vancouver, perhaps enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many dining venues featuring cuisine from around the world.
"75 miles"
Today you depart on your journey to Whistler - the home of the 2010 Winter Olympics and one of the premier outdoor recreation villages in North America. You will travel along the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway, traversing five distinct climatic zones from rainforest to semi-arid alpine forest. The road also crosses the historic Pemberton Trail and Gold Rush Trail, used by prospectors in the 18th century. Travelling through small towns such as Squamish and skirting the shores of Daisy Lake, you arrive in picturesque Whistler Village set at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
The 2010 Winter Olympics showcased the multitude of sights and activities available in Whistler, many of them operating year round. The many cafes and restaurants of the village provide the perfect destination for visitors leisurely exploring the pedestrian walkways and town squares. Woodland trails surround the village, as does a well developed network of biking and hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts of all ability.
"141 miles"
Today you head east into the British Columbia interior, passing through the high elevations home to small towns such as Lillooet. This quiet community is quickly becoming a destination for outdoor enthusiasts and specialty agriculture such as Merlot and Riesling grapes that flourish in the dry, warmer summers. Journeying into the ranch lands, you arrive at the ranch for a 2-night stay. Guests are invited to come explore 64 private hectares of alpine meadows on horseback, enjoy bird watching and discover the many nearby fishing lakes and forests.
Take a walk around the trails that lead out from the ranch, or take in a game of horseshoes with friends and other guests. You may also choose to participate in a morning or afternoon guided horseback riding trail excursion. Immerse yourself in this glorious 'western' way of life!
Clearwater / Wells Gray
Today you depart your ranch and after passing through the surrounding rural woodlands, you begin your journey along the Yellowhead Highway. This route spans 4 provinces from Saskatchewan to British Columbia and ranges thousands of feet in elevation. You follow the Thompson River as your journey takes you through windswept cowboy country and into the gorges of the North Thompson River before opening up into Clearwater Lake. Beyond the town, the pristine parklands of Wells Gray Provincial Park feature the terminus of the river in a spectacular, towering waterfall of Helmcken Falls.
Taking your leave of beautiful Clearwater, you continue on the Yellowhead Highway as it descends down the eastern face of the Rockies into the fertile valleys of the Jasper region. The mountains part to reveal the aquamarine, glacier-fed lakes perched above the emerald valleys and grazing elk of Jasper National Park, one of Canada's premiere wildlife and environmental refuges.
Today you have the rare experience of driving through two of Canada's first and most prestigious national parks. Departing Jasper, the highway will take you past beautiful Lake Louise, reflecting the Columbia Glacier in the distance between mountain peaks. Arriving in Banff, you will instantly be charmed by this perfect mountain village with its quaint restaurants, boutique retailers and lush forest surroundings. The Elk population nearly surpasses the human as they casually meander up and down the town streets. Visit to the Luxton Museum, take a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain or a stroll through town admiring the many shops. You may also try river rafting on the Bow River or take a boat tour on beautiful Lake Minnewanka.
Leaving behind the quiet forests of Banff, you drive southwest today on your journey to the southern reaches of Alberta. After passing through the urban hub of Calgary, today's route takes you near the historic Fort Macleod, one of the first operational posts of the famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Formed as a frontier law force that ranged over the western provinces, the RCMP grew to become Canada's national police force in service today. Approaching the United States border, the protected, pristine beauty of Waterton Lakes National Park dominates the horizon with its stark and captivating beauty.
The beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site is yours to further explore today. A relatively unknown park in the national park system, this area of plateaus, forests, prime fishing rivers and hectares of mountain wildflowers is truly the hidden gem of Alberta. Many marked scenic drives such as the Akamina Parkway and Chief Mountain Highway allow visitors to see the interior of the park with its shallow, clear alpine lakes and old growth forests without long overland hikes.
Driving west today, you drive through the British Columbia interior and the mountain village of Fernie, known to skiers all over the world for its superb alpine skiing with some of the heaviest snowfalls and most dependable powder conditions. You cross the provincial boundary back into British Columbia to and pass through Cranbrook, a small community that grew up around the development of the Crowsnest Railway line at the end of the 19th century. Keeping just north of the United States border, you travel farther west across the rugged interior of the Rocky Mountains. Later you arrive in Rossland, home to many outdoor activities such as horseback riding, championship golf courses, mountain biking tours as well as various outdoor dining patios around town with spectacular views.
Today you depart Rossland and embark on the Crowsnest Highway as it cuts though the heights of the Monashee Mountains. One of the most dramatic intersections is the Bonanza Pass, offering a splendid photo opportunity as you leave the Kootenays for the Western Boundary regions. Driving into the Osoyoos region, you may glimpse the developing vineyards as they flourish in the warming, temperate climate. In partnership with the NK'MIP First Nations people native to the region, the Spirit Ridge Vineyard has blossomed into a world class winery, offering fine dining and tastings.
Spend your day walking along the 19kms of sandy beaches of Osoyoos Lake. You may also wish to visit the unique Haynes Point Provincial Park where the park access road takes you out on a narrow spit in the middle of the lake. Spend the afternoon at one of the pubs or wine bistros that line the shoreline near the middle of town.
Today you head westward for the coast on your return trip to Vancouver. Travelling along the northern edge of North Cascades National Park, the terrain quickly becomes more mountainous as you pass through small towns such as Merritt, Hope and Chilliwack. Descend down from the mountains to the shining spires and elegant bridges of Vancouver. If time permits, enjoy a late afternoon visit to some of the high-fashion boutiques of the downtown core, or relax at your hotel before perhaps indulging in an evening of fine dining at one of the dozens of restaurants of the downtown area.

It is the Liturgy of the Word suitably adapted to make it relevant to the lives and experience of young children. It gives them the opportunity to understand the Gospel message and participate in Eucharistic celebration at their own level. This purpose is not to teach but to enrich the children's participation in Mass offered at the 9 am and 10:40 am Masses.
The children should be present at the beginning of the Mass until the end of the Introductory Rites, when the priest invites them to come forward for their own celebration. Members of the liturgy team will assist the children's return to the assembly via of the side isles during the adult's Prayers of the Faithful. Children's Liturgy usually takes about 25 minutes from introduction to the closing prayer.
Our liturgy team will lead the children's liturgy. All that is required to lead is a desire to help children take a more active part in the celebration of their faith. CLOW takes place during school year.
We invite all parishioners willing to help with the children's liturgy to please join us, in benefiting our younger children in their worshiping community. Parents, grandparents and teenagers can become involved, as well as anyone who enjoys leading groups of young people.
Interested in joining this amazing team as a volunteer, please email or call 770-205-7969, ext 13.
1: The children gather in the church with their families for the introductory rites and welcome. This gathering emphasizes the unity of the whole assembly. Together with the Leader of the Word they are then invited to come forward.
2: A Children's Lectionary (book of Scriptures) is presented and then carefully carried in procession to the Chapel located in the back of the church.
3: The leader introduces the Gospel to the children in a text that they can understand.
4: Reflective discussion and appropriate activity encourages the children to understand and relate to the Gospel.
5: Liturgy is the prayerful action of the whole assembly. Suitable prayers of intercession allow the children to share in prayer at their own level.
6: The children should be warmly welcomed back to the main assembly when they return to share in the Eucharist.

4) INTERRUPTIONS IN CPR SHOULD BE MINIMAL, AND SWITCH PROVIDERS EVERY 2 MINUTES!
When a patient has no pulse, and no one is pushing on the chest, brain cells are dying. It is as simple as that. ALL interruptions in CPR should be 10 seconds or less.
Giving breaths too fast and too forcefully forces air down the esophagus and contributes to stomach inflation and regurgitation, making the job of CPR harder. This is the simple 'book answer,' and it is true. What is also important to know is that hyperventilation increases the amount of positive pressure in the chest. As discussed previously, in order for CPR to be effective, there needs to be negative pressure (a vacuum) in the chest when allowing chest recoil in order to bring blood back into the heart. Hyperventilation creates positive pressure in the chest ALL the TIME, decreasing venous return and rendering CPR less effective. My personal opinion is that this is the single biggest thing that Healthcare Providers do on a regular basis that contributes to poor outcomes! The patient is getting at best 30 percent of their normal cardiac output during CPR, they do not need extra air in the chest. (They can't use it!) Just enough to see the chest rise is enough air in the lungs. Hyperventilation is a classic example of too much of a good thing.
Generally, the earlier the defibrillation attempt, the better the chances are of achieving ROSC. CPR buys time by preserving vital organs until a defibrillation attempt, but usually a patient needs defibrillation to recover.
