In the late 1970's I slogged through the reeds north of Sault Ste Marie to recover the beaver freshly chewed sticks, and I collected the crow feathers from highway road kill along the same stretch of highway. I foolishly sold this piece when I held a yard sale after I returned to Toronto. This hanging as well as a number of other items that I'd collected when I lived in the Soo were snapped up within minutes. It took me a few months to get a job so that yard sale put bread on my table.

Slogging through the mud. We ended up scrambling to find something other than his school shoes to wear before leaving the house ... and he ended up perfectly fitting in a pair of Mom's old boots. We wear the exact same size now!

My lens was dustier than I realized, as is painfully obvious if you look at the mountain just below the sun.

This small stream flows into Rawson Lake. I hopped across rocks to get to its banks, trying very hard to avoid trampling the vegetation. Even in summer it was a bit chilly — as you can see we’re level with snow, still unmelted in the shadow of the mountain.

Editorial
Trying to Contain the Iraq Disaster
No matter what President Bush says, the question is not whether America can win in Iraq. The only question is whether the United States can extricate itself without leaving behind an unending civil war that will spread more chaos and suffering throughout the Middle East, while spawning terrorism across the globe.
The prospect of what happens after an American pullout haunts the debate on Iraq. The administration, for all its hints about new strategies and timetables, is obviously hoping to slog along for two more years and dump the problem on Mr. Bush’s successor. This fall’s election debates have educated very few voters because neither side is prepared to be honest about the terrible consequences of military withdrawal and the very long odds against success if American troops remain.
This page opposed a needlessly hurried and unilateral invasion, even before it became apparent that the Bush administration was unprepared to do the job properly. But after it happened, we believed that America should stay and try to clean up the mess it had made — as long as there was any conceivable road to success.
That road is vanishing. Today we want to describe a strategy for containing the disaster as much as humanly possible. It is hardly a recipe for triumph. Americans can only look back in wonder on the days when the Bush administration believed that success would turn Iraq into a stable, wealthy democracy — a model to strike fear into the region’s autocrats while inspiring a new generation of democrats. Even last fall, the White House was dividing its strategy into a series of victorious outcomes, with the short-term goal of an Iraq “making steady progress in fighting terrorists.” The medium term had Iraq taking the lead in “providing its own security” and “on its way to achieving its economic potential,” with the ultimate outcome being a “peaceful, united, stable and secure” nation.
If an American military occupation could ever have achieved those goals, that opportunity is gone. It is very clear that even with the best American effort, Iraq will remain at war with itself for years to come, its government weak and deeply divided, and its economy battered and still dependent on outside aid. The most the United States can do now is to try to build up Iraq’s security forces so they can contain the fighting — so it neither devours Iraqi society nor spills over to Iraq’s neighbors — and give Iraq’s leaders a start toward the political framework they would need if they chose to try to keep their country whole.
The tragedy is that even this marginal sort of outcome seems nearly unachievable now. But if America is to make one last push, there are steps that might lessen the chance of all-out chaos after the troops withdraw:
Start at Home
For all the talk of timetables for Iraq, there has been little discussion of the timetable that must be handed to George W. Bush. The president cannot leave office with American troops still dying in an Iraq that staggers along just short of civil war, on behalf of no concrete objective other than “get the job done,” which is now Mr. Bush’s rhetorical substitute for “stay the course.” The administration’s current vague talk about behind-the-scenes agreements with Iraqi politicians is next to meaningless. Americans, Iraqis and the rest of the world need clear, public signs of progress.
Mr. Bush can make the first one by firing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. There is no chance of switching strategy as long as he is in control of the Pentagon. The administration’s plans have gone woefully wrong, and while the president is unlikely to admit that, he can send a message by removing Mr. Rumsfeld. It would also be a signal to the military commanders in the field that the administration now wants to hear the truth about what they need, what can be salvaged out of this mess, and what cannot.
The president should also make it clear, once and for all, that the United States will not keep permanent bases in Iraq. The people in Iraq and across the Middle East need a strong sign that the troops are not there to further any American imperial agenda.
Demand Reconciliation Talks
Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, has indefinitely postponed reconciliation talks among the nation’s top politicians. He must receive an immediate deadline to start the process. Tomorrow would not be too soon; the end of the year would be too late.
Whatever decisions Iraqi leaders reached over the past few years were achieved by pushing aside all the critical questions that were hardest to address. The Bush administration must demand not only that new talks start, but that they continue until some agreement is reached on protecting minority rights, dividing up Iraq’s oil revenues, the role of religion in the state, providing an amnesty for insurgents willing to put down their weapons, and demobilizing and disarming the militias.
More outside aid could increase their incentive to talk. Even then, the threat of an American withdrawal may be the only way to extract real concessions. In parallel with the reconciliation talks, the United States should begin its own negotiations with the Iraqi leadership about a timetable for withdrawing American troops — making clear that America’s willingness to stay longer will depend on the Iraqis’ willingness to make real compromises. Iraqi politicians have to know that they have even more to lose if their country plunges into complete civil war.
We are skeptical of calls to divide the country into three ethnically controlled regions, using the model that finally ended the Bosnian war. Most Iraqis, except for the Kurds, show little enthusiasm for the idea. Clear ethnic boundaries could not be drawn without driving many people from their homes — though an intolerable level of ethnic cleansing is already pushing things in that direction. Any effort at reconciliation will almost certainly require a transfer of power and resources to provincial and local governments. But it must be up to the Iraqis to decide the ultimate shape of their country.
Stabilize Baghdad
Most Iraqis have forgotten what security is — or if they remember, it is an idealized vision of Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship. Since neither the government nor the American occupation is able to provide basic services or safety, it is little wonder that Iraqis have turned to the militias for protection. In such a world, retribution will always take precedence over the uncertainties of political compromise.
American commanders have launched a series of supposedly make-or-break campaigns to take back the streets of Baghdad. The problem is not one of military strategy; their idea of “clearing” out insurgents, “holding” neighborhoods and quickly rebuilding infrastructure is probably the only thing that could work. The problem is that commanders in Baghdad have been given only a fraction of the troops — American and Iraqi — they need.
There have never been enough troops, the result of Mr. Rumsfeld’s negligent decision to use Iraq as a proving ground for his pet military theories, rather than listen to his generals. And since the Army and Marines are already strained to the breaking point, the only hope of restoring even limited sanity to Baghdad would require the transfer of thousands of American troops to the capital from elsewhere in the country. That likely means moving personnel out of the Sunni-dominated west, and more mayhem in a place like Anbar.
But Iraqis need a clear demonstration that security and rebuilding is possible. So long as Baghdad is in chaos they will have no reason to believe in anything but sectarian militias and vigilante justice. Once Washington is making a credible effort to stabilize Baghdad, Iraqi politicians will have more of an incentive to show up for reconciliation talks. No one wants to be a rejectionist if it looks like the tide might be turning.
Convene the Neighbors
America’s closest allies in the region are furious about America’s gross mismanagement of the war. But even Iran and Syria, which are eager to see America bloodied, have a great deal to lose if all-out civil war erupts in Iraq, driving refugees toward their borders. That self-interest could be the start of a discussion about how Iraq’s neighbors might help pressure their clients inside Iraq to step back from the brink. Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich neighbors — whose own stability could be threatened by an Iraqi collapse — need to be pressed into providing major financing to underwrite jobs programs and reconstruction.
Enlightened self-interest is a rarity in the Middle East. The Bush administration will most likely have to go further to elicit real help, showing a serious willingness to expand its dialogue with Damascus and Tehran beyond the issue of Iraq and to be a genuine broker for Middle East peace. That should be the easiest part of the strategy — only this White House regards the willingness to talk to another country as a major concession.
Acknowledge Reality
While the strategy described above seems the best bet to us, the odds are still very much against it working. At this point, all plans to avoid disaster involve the equivalent of a Hail Mary pass. In America, almost no one — even the administration’s harshest critics — wants to tell people the bitter truth about how few options remain on the table, and about the mayhem that will almost certainly follow an American withdrawal unless more is done.
Truth will only take us so far, but it is the right way to begin. Americans will probably spend the next generation debating whether the Iraq invasion would have worked under a competent administration. Right now, the best place to express bitterness about what may become the worst foreign policy debacle in American history is at the polls. But anger at a president is not a plan for what happens next.
When it comes to Iraq the choices in the immediate future are scant and ugly. But there are still a few options to pursue, and the alternatives are so horrible that it is worth trying once again — as long as everyone understands that there is little time left and the odds are very long.

HERMOSILLO, SONORA, ABRIL 04 DE 2014.- El Gobernador Guillermo Padrés encabezó el lanzamiento oficial de Radio Disney Hermosillo, que a partir del próximo lunes se transmitirá las 24 horas del día por la frecuencia 99.5 FM, convirtiéndose en el cuarto municipio de México en contar con esta frecuencia después del Distrito Federal, Colima y Mazatlán.
Esta nueva estación juvenil llega de la mano de Grupo Acir y Walt Disney México, para ofrecer contenidos de la marca Disney, programas locales y música nacional e internacional.
El mandatario estatal destacó que la decisión de elegir Hermosillo como destino de esta inversión, sin duda es una muestra más de la dirección que está tomando el Estado con obras y proyectos estratégicos que marcan un antes y un después en la calidad de vida de todos.
“Me gustó ahorita el comentario de Arturo cuando dice que hace mucho que no venía a Hermosillo y lo ve transformado, donde ve nuevas avenidas, donde ve pasos a desnivel y ve importantes inversiones aquí en el municipio, definitivamente eso es lo que está sucediendo en Sonora y ahorita lo vemos precisamente con el honor que nos hacen de poner una empresa y una radio como es la empresa de Grupo Acir y de Disney poner esta sucursal en Sonora”, dijo.
En su programación, los radioescuchas no solo tendrán acceso a material de la importante marca, sino que podrán formar parte de promociones como boletos a eventos, viajes, conciertos, instrumentos musicales, entre muchos otros.
En el lanzamiento participaron Antonio Ibarra Fariña, Director General de Grupo ACIR Nacional; Arturo López Gavito, directivo de Walt Disney México; y Alonso Echevarría, Director de Grupo Acir Hermosillo.
Además, se contó con la presencia de Ricardo Acedo Samaniego, Líder Nacional del Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Industria de la Radio y Televisión (STIRT); José Victorín Figueroa, Líder del STIRT en Hermosillo; Jorge Morales Borbón, Secretario de Comunicación y Javier Gándara Magaña, ex Presidente Municipal de Hermosillo

juleaften 2011 - 3 børn og to lidt trætte forældre slog dørene op kl 16 til disneys juleshow. Og efter showet var der går og flæskesteg med alt hvad der tilhører. Så brød vi juletraditionen og dansede om træet lige efter sovsen og tog ris a la manden senere. Og det var helt perfekt. Ungerne var glade for pakker og i maven var der igen plads til mad:)
1x1 grain loads slog down the stick rail of the ex-Northern Pacific Ulen Branchline. Gotta love the sound of wheels pounding joints.
We were at Lake Park when I heard a chirp on the radio of this train doing their air test. Knowing that this was the only place that a train would be doing that at, we decided to high-tail it over to MN 32 and haul north to intercept the train. We ran into the train just as they had begun pulling southward and had to backtrack a little bit to achieve this. Should have looked for a date to see when this rail was made.
Pålsjöbaden slogs sönder i en storm 2011 och revs sommaren 2013. Efter ett långt renoveringsarbete står nu (2015) nybyggda Pålsjöbaden klar. Det nya badhuset är likt det gamla, men med ett par nyheter. Badhuset ligger en meter högre över vattenytan för att bättre möta framtida havsnivåhöjningar och stormar. Dessutom finns ett inglasat kafé i den nya anläggningen. Fox Belysning fick förtroendet att leverera alla utomhusarmaturer. Våra HLS ledpuckar är integrerade i broräcket och Buen väggarmatur monterade på husen...

Having climbed from Arcow Quarry with loaded hoppers GBRf's 66752 'The Hoosier State' slogs up Selside on the way to Blea Moor Loops to run round.
The long slog back to the hut this afternoon was quite hard work.. Even though it was technically downhill, it’s the sort of terrain that’s no quicker going up or down. It was almost dark when we returned, we had to cook our dinner by candle light.
The decision was made to get one of these jet boats we’d been hearing all about, so hopefully we’d be in the pub for a late lunch tomorrow! So on the upside we got to polish off all our remaining rum rations tonight :)
It was a beautiful bank holiday monday and i had a sense of growing adventure within and so i decided to go roaming on nearby Pendle hill. After a slog up and down the hill i was returning to the carpark when on a path high above several paragliders began to soar. One of the gliders swirled and rolled though the sky till he landed right by me and i knew i could not miss the chance of a portrait.
He immediately agreed to my request and told me his name was Dick and that he was a Yorkshireman (boo :P). He told me how the gliders use both the wind and thermals to gain altitude and that it takes skill (and in my opinion great bravery) to pilot them.
The glider was led curved on the floor behind him and i wanted it to be part of the photo so i positioned him in front of it but kept it low in the frame so that it would not take so much away from his expressive look. I also wanted to show his sense of adventure and hoped having him look away into the distance helps portray this.
I had planned on keeping this photograph in colour but glider was bright and just way to distracting.
